Heart with glazed tiles

Chapter 4 Encouraging
Her father's wooden box was like a Pandora's box exuding magic power. Chu Liuli wanted to find a chance to open it while her father was away to see what mysterious things were inside.

That night, Chu Liuli had a dream.Dreaming that her father took out a transparent jade bracelet from the wooden box, said it was passed down from her ancestors, and put it on her wrist. Chu Liuli was raising her hand to admire the jade bracelet, when she was woken up by the alarm bell next to her pillow up.She was annoyed for a while, she hadn't had time to look at such a beautiful jade bracelet.

The morning sunlight reflected on the pink sheets through the glass windows, adding a touch of softness.Chu Jingkai often teases her younger sister, she is obviously a girly character, but she likes girls' hearts, and she even likes pink.

Chu Liuli got up from the bed, washed and dressed briefly, and went to the restaurant for dinner.Father and brother had already finished their meal and went to work, only mother was waiting for her.

Chu Liuli glanced at the time, drank a bowl of porridge in a hurry, and left after eating an egg.Mother said it was cold outside and asked her to take a taxi to school instead of taking the subway.Chu Liuli was afraid that her mother would be worried, so she pretended to agree, went out the door, and continued to go to the subway station.

On the side of the road, the persimmon trees in the community stick out their heads. The orange persimmons are covered with snow that has not yet melted. Against the clear and blue sky, the eyes and the heart are drunk.Chu Liuli couldn't help but stop and take a photo. This kind of beautiful picture is most suitable for posting on Weibo.

When Chu Liuli arrived at the school, there were still twenty minutes before class.In the corridor, a few girls were chattering like they were talking about something, but when they saw Chu Liuli approaching, they stopped their voices.

Chu Liuli could feel that the way they looked at her was weird and somewhat unfriendly.However, she didn't mind, passed them and strode towards the class.

At the door of the class, she saw Yuan Xiaohui.Opposite her stood a boy, although his back was facing her, from his figure, she recognized him as Zhang Yifeng.

"Senior Brother Feng came to find Xiaohui! Could it be...she was moved by Xiaohui's perseverance?" With some doubts, Chu Liuli walked forward slowly.

When they got closer and heard what they said clearly, Chu Liuli knew that she had guessed wrong, and that Zhang Yifeng had come to reject Yuan Xiaohui.

"Student, I am very honored to be liked by you, but as I said before, I already have someone I like. These things you do will only cause me trouble! This is returned to you, for you to like, and also Someone who also likes you!" Zhang Yifeng's tone was not high, but his tone was very firm, leaving no room for Yuan Xiaohui's imagination at all.

And Yuan Xiaohui obviously didn't recover from the blow again, holding a basketball in her hand in a daze.

Chu Liuli remembered that Yuan Xiaohui bought a basketball signed by a famous star a few days ago, and said that she had entrusted someone to give it to Zhang Yifeng.Zhang Yifeng is probably here to pay back this, and by the way, explain it clearly to Yuan Xiaohui.

Just as Chu Liuli was thinking about how to help Yuan Xiaohui, Zhang Yifeng had already turned around.Chu Liuli was caught off guard and almost bumped into him.

The two faced each other, and Zhang Yifeng's eyes lingered on Chu Liuli's face for a moment. His expression seemed a little embarrassed, but hesitant to speak.

He brushed past Chu Liuli, bringing with him a gust of wind, which also took away Yuan Xiaohui's last trace of expectation and dignity.

The basketball in her hand fell to the ground and bounced up again. After a certain arc, it finally returned to a straight line.

Chu Liuli stepped forward and hugged her lightly, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Yuan Xiaohui laughed at herself and said, "Liuli, am I a little silly, people say they have someone they like, and I still give them things?"

"You are not stupid, you are too persistent. My Xiaohui is so beautiful and has a good figure, she deserves better. Otherwise, let's give this basketball to Da Nan. Don't forget, he also likes to play. You You can't value sex over friends!" Chu Liuli looked at the basketball on the ground, trying to divert Yuan Xiaohui's attention.

"Okay, give it to Danan! I'll send it to him right away!" Yuan Xiaohui walked quickly, picked up the basketball on the ground, and walked to the next class.

It's uncomfortable to be rejected, but she has always been free and easy, and will not be overwhelmed by this little setback.Da Nan's name is Zheng Yinan, she and Chu Liuli's good friend.Yuan Xiaohui was willing to give him the basketball.

As the final exam approached, Chu Liuli's life was very fulfilling, and she basically spent most of her time in the self-study room.She didn't go home until she finished the last subject.

At night, Chu Jingkai was writing the score (one of the steps of color painting) in the study, and Chu Liuli walked in quietly with a glass of milk.Chu Jingkai was very focused and didn't notice her sister until she got closer.

"Brother, don't be too tired, take a rest!" Chu Liuli handed him the water glass.

Chu Jingkai put the pen on the table, took the milk, took a sip of the milk, and said with a smile: "The project will start soon, I can't sleep, so I want to practice more."

"Brother, you got my father's true biography, so don't worry at all." Chu Liuli was very confident in her brother.

"You're right, brother should have confidence in yourself, but it's the first time I've participated in such a large renovation project with Master, and I'm always a little nervous. I heard from Master that due to historical reasons, the outer eaves of the mansion were originally There is no color painting left. Therefore, before deciding on the design plan, the experts conducted many investigations, investigations and copying work on the current situation and inner eaves, and finally determined the basic principles of the repair. This is the first repair after 1850. If it's me, even my master is also nervous." Chu Jingkai let out a sigh of relief and told his sister what was in his heart.

"Brother, if it were me, I would be nervous about such a big project for the first time. However, Mr. Feng can take you there, which shows that you can do it. He has great confidence in you. So, you don't have to worry or be nervous. Drink this and go to bed early!" Chu Liuli picked up the water glass and handed it to him again.

"Okay! Let me borrow my sister's auspicious words, I put my heart in my stomach!" Chu Jingkai took the water glass and drank the milk in one gulp.

"Brother, you can't put your heart in your stomach, it's not in the right place! Haha..." After finishing speaking, Chu Liuli smiled heartily, and Chu Jingkai also laughed.

The siblings chatted for a while, Chu Liuli told her elder brother to go to bed early and then go back to the room to rest.

Lying on the bed, she couldn't help but go to the A website to check. The paper she wrote on the research on the colored paintings of Prince Kung's Mansion has been submitted for almost a week, and it hasn't been published yet.She was really afraid that the results of her hard work for half a month would be lost in the sea.

A message popped up in the QQ dialog box, which was sent by "Turning the Wind". He is Chu Liuli's QQ friend, and he is in the same QQ group for the study of colored paintings of ancient buildings.The two often chat about Caihua on QQ, but they have never met each other.

"Liuli, how is your paper? Has it been published yet?" Chu Liuli's QQ nickname was "Liuli" without the surname.

Chu Liuli smiled secretly, she and "Turn the Wind" really have a good understanding.
