Forever, beauty bone

Chapter 17
It's surprisingly quiet here.

Shi Yi was very fortunate that although his mother wanted her to accompany him the whole time, she didn't say anything else.Shi Yi was really pious, put his palms together, knelt down on the kneeling mat that already had two deep marks, and worshiped the Buddha three times.

Raise your head and look at the smiling Buddha statue.It is said that believers and unbelievers, good and evil people, see the Buddha statues differently.Compassionate, compassionate, smiling, and so on, and in her memory, the Buddha always smiled slightly, never changing.

She suddenly thought, why such an arrangement.

She remembered everything, but Zhou Shengchen didn't know anything.

When Shi Yi knelt down, he forgot that his knee was still in the recovery period, and when he stood up, he felt a bit of pain belatedly.A hand held the upper side of her arm and helped her up: "If there is a next time, you don't have to do this for wearing a cheongsam. In fact, it looks good in sportswear." He remembered the last time he took a nap at her house, from the guest room When he came out, Shi Yi was wearing light blue sportswear, sitting cross-legged in a somewhat dark room, watching TV with headphones on.

Especially before he found him, covering his mouth and laughing at those TV episodes.

He still remembers it clearly.

"It's okay, it wasn't completely removed, so there won't be any problem," she asked softly, "Didn't see you just now?"

"I'm an atheist," he answered her in a low voice, "so I've been standing outside the hall, watching the scenery."

The two of them walked outside the main hall, the ancient temple of thousands of years, just standing here, they felt that their hearts gradually became peaceful.

"But I believe in Buddhism," she laughed, "what should I do?"

He turned his head and looked at the Buddha in the eye hall: "Total respect."

"What did you see?" she asked curiously.

"What did you see?"

"I mean, look at him, what does he look like?"

Zhou Shengchen watched her a little longer because of her question: "Mercy."

She looked at his profile and said nothing.

Some people will not change even if they forget everything and change their voice and appearance.

At this moment, there was a shadow superimposed on him in front of him. That shadow also said that Sakyamuni abandoned his wife and children and entered Buddhism because of his compassion for the common people.She remembered clearly, so she never blamed him for what he said: not to the world, but to eleven.

Sensing her silence, Zhou Shengchen lowered his head and looked back: "What? Is it different from what you saw?"

"Not quite the same."

"What did you see?"

"Laughing," she said softly, "It looks like she likes me very much, so she always smiles."

Surprised, he immediately laughed.

The sight fell from her eyes to her ring finger. Her fingers were slender and fair. Wearing such a ring looks good.

Where they stood, there was a mottled white stone fence, and he seemed to be afraid that she would be exposed to the sun, so he let her into the shade.This place was very secluded, and he was always talking with her, as if afraid that she would be bored.In fact, after so many days of contact, she found that Zhou Shengchen probably didn't like talking very much, especially unnecessary gossip.

Only when I am with myself, I will always think of some topics and chat with her.

He is working hard, she can see it, so she is also willing to work hard for him.

I ate lunch at the restaurant at the foot of the mountain. Zhou Wenxing walked beside her and said in a low voice that because her mother believed in Buddhism, she built this place here in the early years for entertaining Zhou Sheng's family and friends.

Naturally, what I ate was vegetarian food.

After dinner, a guest who came today heard that there was a girl who was about to be engaged by Zhou Shengchen, so he wrote a word on the spot.Zhou Shengchen didn't know this person, but his mother kindly told them that this was Zhou Shengchen's father's friend who wrote valuable words.

The gift was given suddenly, and when Shi Yi received it, he found that there was nothing around him to give back.

She asked Zhou Shengchen what to do in a low voice, but he didn't care and comforted her in a low voice.This kind of gifting of words on the spot is not common, even if there is no rebate, it is not considered rude.She thought for a while, and asked the uncle with a smile: "The calligraphy of the uncle is hard to change. Although Shiyi's paintings are not as good as it, I still want to give it back. I don't know if the uncle will dislike it?"

Her tone was a bit polite, the uncle smiled happily after hearing this, and immediately gave up the book case.

The place where they were talking was on the second floor of the restaurant. Just now, in order to see the uncle's handwriting, many guests of Zhou Sheng's family got up to watch. Now they heard that this is the future eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of Zhou Sheng's family. They wanted to paint on the spot, and they were even more curious.

What kind of painting skills will this beautiful girl from an ordinary family background have?

Zhou Shengchen also did not expect that Shi Yi would be so calm and said that he wanted to paint.

He was so familiar with her past that he could clearly remember the names of all her classmates and friends from kindergarten to university.The information during this period does not indicate who she studied painting under.

He stood by the desk, watching her pick up the pen, thinking for a while.

In Shi Yi's mind, he recalled the things he was once best at, those still lifes that he taught himself, and his favorite still life.Then he wrote down the pen naturally.

At first it was a reed grass with many leaves.

Layer by layer, there is no pause, as if copying thousands of times, the skillful brushwork is amazing.

When she reached the root of the reed, she paused for a while, washed the pen with clean water, dipped it in light ink, dried it on the side of the plate, and then she wrote the pen and it was a boneless lotus.Gradually, the paper has become a new lotus.

Those who don't understand only know that this painting is really pure, beautiful and empty.

Only Shi Bo and his few friends, gradually changed from encouraging smiles from elders to admiration, and in the end, they were unabashedly amazed and praised.

The painting is lotus and reeds, the brushwork is free and easy, but the style is a bit cold.

She was afraid that she was wasting time, so she deliberately made it faster. When the whole painting was finished, the uncle couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "It's a pity, it's a pity that the painting was a little too hasty, but it's still a masterpiece worth collecting." Bo told her naturally, "Miss Shi Yi, don't forget to sign the name, I will definitely treasure this painting."

She nodded, wrote down her pen again, and wrote her name.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to put down his pen, the Uncle suddenly became interested again and asked her if she would mind writing a poem?Naturally, Shi Yi didn't mind, Shi Bo took over the pen and wrote two lines of poems eloquently, but out of respect for the painter, he refused to write his name again.

Zhou Sheng's future eldest daughter-in-law's painting skills are beyond everyone's expectations.

The elders and family friends of Zhou Sheng's family who were present all looked at Shi Yi differently because of this venerable uncle, and even joked that they would come to ask for paintings in person in the future.She was not good at socializing, and it was even more difficult to deal with the various tone and expressions of his family members. In the end, she didn't know what to say, so she went to see Zhou Shengchen frequently, asking for help with her eyes.

He seemed to find it funny, but seeing how pitiful she was, he found an excuse and took her away first.

After getting in the car, he thought of her painting, and her embarrassed expression despite being praised, he still couldn't help laughing, and went to look at the people sitting beside him.

Shi Yi noticed it, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Don't laugh at me again."

"It's very interesting," he laughed, "It's very interesting to feel ashamed when you draw very well."

"Do you feel okay too?" She looked at him.

"Very good, who did you learn from for your Chinese painting?"

She was stunned, and quickly covered it up: "There is no master, it's just that someone gave me some picture books. I liked it, so I locked myself in the room and practiced to pass the time."

He made no secret of his surprise.

"Aren't you very talented?" She continued to confuse people.

He shook his head and sighed: "It can only be explained by talent."

She laughed. She has devoted herself to painting for ten years, and she is best at painting lotus.

And he is that lotus.

Back at the old house, when the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, Zhou Shengchen asked her to go back to the room to change clothes, while he sat in the open study on the second floor, making the final handover on the exchange program in Xi'an.Shi Yi followed his instructions, changed into sports clothes and came out, saw that he was on the phone, and couldn't understand what he was saying.

But at the end of the call, he suddenly handed it over to her, saying that He Shan wanted to say goodbye to her.

Shi Yi took it over, and when he heard He Shan's voice, he was a little excited, but also a little nervous: "That... Shi Yi... No, it should be called Master's Wife now." She hummed, looked at Zhou Shengchen quietly, her face was a little hot.

"It's a pity, Teacher Zhou Sheng left suddenly, but a teacher for one day is a father for life, so Shi Yi and you will be our teacher and mother forever." He Shan laughed, "Did you know that Teacher Zhou Sheng is our teacher?" Idol, the kind of scientist who looks like he won’t marry a wife and have children, we all think it would be weird if he gets married. But when we think of you, we think it’s a perfect match, a gifted man and a beautiful woman, this is the most high-end talent Beautiful."

He Shan continued to mutter.

She couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing her smiling, Zhou Shengchen sat in front of her with great interest and watched her answer the phone.

Shi Yi mouthed: He is so poor.

He smiled, stretched out his hand, and patted her forehead.

It was a natural movement, but after touching her, he didn't want to move away.Slowly it slid down her forehead, down her face, to her lips.Shi Yi didn't move, felt his movements, looked into his dark eyes.

He asks to see her.

Shi Yi silently closed his eyes.

He studied her for a while.

When I was young, I recited Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, which once said, "Extraordinary man and bright teeth, the voice of Zheng Wei, please enjoy yourself."

But how many people can really match the four characters "extraordinary man white teeth".

Zhou Shengchen kissed her quietly, regardless of whether the phone was hung up or not.It was so close that he could even hear that kid He Shan repeating, saying something about being a scholar and a beautiful woman. He couldn't help kissing and laughing, left slightly, and said to the phone: "Okay, you need me Send me the paper I read, and check it myself first, because there were too many spelling mistakes in English last time.”

After he finished speaking, he hung up the mobile phone she was holding and put it beside his hand.

"Continue?" he asked in a low voice.

Shi Yi just opened his eyes, but when he heard what he said, he closed them tightly again.

A blush quietly spread from the base of the ear.

Every time he kisses, he asks her opinion first.It's obviously a very rigid approach, but at this moment, with such a soft voice, it inexplicably gives people the illusion of flirting. It's that kind of very weird and serious... flirting.

There is sunshine, falling on the arms, warm.

His hand slid down her shoulder, touched her wrist, and shook it lightly: "Eat more."

She hummed, blushing a little hot.

"I may have to leave the country for a while."

"Because of that?"

"No," Zhou Shengchen smiled, "That incident was indeed to make me leave here. However, the purpose of my leaving this time is for my research project."

"Halogen-free flame retardant silane crosslinked POE composites?"

Shi Yi really memorized it by rote, and memorized this awkward name.

Zhou Shengchen didn't expect that she could speak so smoothly, but he gave her a deep look in surprise, as if he wanted to ask something.After a few seconds, he gave up again. "That is a research project in Xi'an, not what I have done in the past few years."

She looked at him puzzled.

"To put it simply, I have been in a center in Europe for the past few years, replicating the environment of Venus and studying the feasibility of living."

She oh.

Listening to it this way, it is indeed more understandable than that noun.

But why is it farther away from her: "Is it feasible to live on Venus? Can Venus live in people?"

"The surface is hot, the temperature is about 480 degrees Celsius, and the surface pressure is close to 90 times the earth's atmospheric pressure," he simply replied. Speaking of these, it is like an audiobook in a textbook, "but its size, mass, and even location are the closest to the earth. In the solar system, it is considered twins with us. Therefore, it should have a chance to live in people in the future."

She groaned again.

He smiled: "Will it be boring to listen to?"

"No," she shook her head. "It's very interesting. It's interesting because you don't understand it."

He went on talking.

She has a good memory. Although she basically doesn't understand, she remembers clearly.For example, the 4-day circulation of Venus, the polar vortex, etc., as well as his research on the distribution of trace components.She wanted to study quietly while he was away, at least when he mentioned it occasionally, she would no longer sit in the sun and listen stupidly.

"Then... when are you coming back?"

He said, "Three months."

She nodded, thinking, three months will pass quickly.

"Time?"

She hummed.

"Why me?"

She didn't understand: "Why?"

"At Baiyun Airport, why do you want to know me?"

When Zhou Shengchen was talking, he accidentally touched the eighteen rosary beads on her wrist.The emerald bead and the coolness of the tentacles made him feel a little strange... He frowned, not quite used to this momentary feeling of being absent-minded, as if something was about to come out, but he couldn't grasp the direction at all.

Shi Yi also fell into a brief silence, and said after a while: "It was love at first sight."

She couldn't explain the past that existed in the history books.

That's the only way to describe the origin of the story.

Three months.

After Zhou Shengchen briefly explained the duration, he really left the next day.

He only gave her an approximate time to return, and from the beginning to the end, he never mentioned that he would take her with him.

She guessed that the so-called project in his mouth might just be one of the reasons why he left.The family he was born in was a strange existence, and there seemed to be no shock when such a big incident happened. Except for the unexpected visitor in the middle of the night and a series of explosive suspected crimes, no one mentioned Tang Xiaofu who died so easily.

That family seems to be in another dimension, with its own rules.

If she didn't remember him, how dare she approach such a family?

Not long after he left, summer came early.

Except for three calls a day, he seems to be far away from her world.

In order to create momentum for the company, Meilin has been organizing a dubbing talent show all month long.Because of the award, she had to cooperate with some activities. In fact, she just recorded a promotional slogan and still insisted not to participate in the activities.

That day Meilin showed her a dozen or so recordings, most of which were written by the contestants themselves.

"In that year, the Buddha sat down in lotus under the Bodhi tree and realized his enlightenment in 49 days. What he realized was that the four things are all empty, and what he forgot was love, hate, madness and ignorance. I think, you and I have known each other for 490 days, [-] days , Forty-nine thousand days, I don't even have the courage to sit down in my lotus, I would rather be golden than forget you..." She was suddenly moved when she heard the demo.

Meilin laughed: "It seems that when I heard your demo, there were so many demos, but you were the only one who recited "Shanglin Fu". We were all confused, but I thought it was really nice."

Shi Yixiao: "I am most familiar with "Shanglin Fu", so I have the most feeling when I read it."

"Time?"

"Ok?"

"Your scientist's fiancé..."

She turned her head, stretched out her hand and shook it: "See where I wear my ring, I'm married."

"Married?" Mei Lin couldn't believe it, "You've been hanging out with me for the past two months, so you're considered married? Where's the house? What about the car? What about the honeymoon? Most importantly, where's your Mr. Chemistry?"

"He's at the National Institute of Astrophysics in Rome..." Shi Yi said truthfully.

"Astrophysics?" Mei Lin was a little confused, "Didn't he do chemistry?"

"The boundaries are not so clear. What he is mainly doing now is the analysis of trace components and semi-trace quantities on the surface of Venus..." She tried to speak unprofessionally, but in fact she couldn't speak professionally.

Mei Lin was immersed in these words, but she still didn't understand the relationship between Jin Xing and Shi Yi's wedding.

"I never knew that what you like is... a scientist whose ambition is to develop human beings, who loves and is selfless? This kind of person should look very lightly on the relationship between men and women."

Great love and selflessness?
