Chapter 18 (1/2)
Li Shuo is driving on the road, thinking that it's not good to go empty handed. He should buy Zhao Jinxin a gift, but he can't think of what to buy for a while.
Just passing by a block, Li Shuo found an exhibition hall that was displaying brocade, with large posters hanging outside. It seemed to be the work of a young brocade artist. He glanced at the embroidery patterns of the Chinese zodiac. He felt a stir in his heart and drove around.
There are not many people in the exhibition hall, maybe it's the last day. He picked up a book and turned it over. Then he asked the staff where the sheep pattern was. The staff led him to the largest exhibition hall.
There are more than 30 pieces of brocade works on the walls and stands of the exhibition hall. They are finely woven, with clear lines and gorgeous colors. No matter how many adjectives are used to praise them, they will come down to a word of ”beauty”. A few foreigners are looking at it with magnifiers, and they are amazed.
On the largest wall of the Chinese zodiac, the round brocade is inlaid in the middle of the square rosewood frame, and even the frame is carved with exquisite flower patterns.
Lishuo saw the brocade of the sheep at a glance. It's really a very stylish art. Li Shuo said to the staff: ”Hello, I want to collect this work of the Chinese Zodiac sheep.”
”Just a moment.”
After a few minutes, the staff went back and said, ”Sir, the price of a single copy of this work is 40000 dollars.”
”Well, you can wrap it as a gift for me.”
”OK.”
When he got on the bus with the gift box, Li Shuo smiled and shook his head. He was really hinted by his mother. He never cared about the Chinese Zodiac before.
At the place where Zhao Jinxin lives, Li Shuo rings the doorbell downstairs. Today is the weekend. I wonder if Zhao Jinxin will be at home The doorbell rang for a long time. Zhao Jinxin's face appeared on the intercom screen. It seemed that he didn't wake up. He was surprised and said, ”Uncle Li?”
”May I?” lishuo smiled at him
”Come up.” The security door opened with a click.
Li Shuo pushes open the door, gets on the elevator, looks at the present at hand, his eyes are full of expectation, he looks forward to seeing Zhao Jinxin's expression full of joy.
The door of the apartment is open, and Li Shuo goes in. He hears the sound of water coming from the bathroom. The floor to floor window of the living room is open. The cool wind makes people uncomfortable, but the air is still filled with a faint smell of wine. Li Shuo scans the living room and suspects that the smell of wine may be from the clothes left on the ground.
After a while, Zhao Jinxin came out. He was barefoot and wearing a pair of jeans. He was red - naked and vigorous. His head and face were full of water. He wiped his hair and asked, ”why didn't you call and run here? I'm in a mess. ” He looked down at lishuo.
Li Shuo sighed in his heart. He closed the window in the past, and then pointed to the slippers on the ground: ”put on your shoes. It's cold. You're not afraid of a cold.”
”No way.” Zhao Jinxin said dully.
It seems that the story of that day hasn't been turned over. Looking at Zhao Jinxin, who was obviously just waking up from a hangover, Li Shuo felt more guilty and didn't feel good. He said: ”I came to apologize to you today and bought you a gift.” Li Shuo raised the gift box in his hand.
Zhao Jinxin finally looked up, and the dark colleague looked at lishuo without blinking. He said pitifully, ”you don't need to apologize, there's nothing to apologize for.”
”Yes.” Li Shuo went over, stroked Zhao Jinxin's wet hair and kissed him gently. ”I'm sorry for making you sad.”
Zhao jinxindun, a hug lishuo, wrongly said: ”it doesn't matter, I am willing.”
Li Shuo's heartache. People are really unsatisfied animals. Zhao Jinxin is good everywhere. What is he hesitating about? It's because of all kinds of worries in his heart that this big boy will be hurt. From now on, he decided to get along with Zhao Jinxin seriously.
Li Shuo pulled the towel and wiped Zhao Jinxin's hair: ”you go to dry your hair and put on your clothes. It's easy to catch cold.”
”No, I want to see the present first.” Zhao Jinxin grins and shows a row of small white teeth, which is very cute.
”Then put on your clothes, see the presents, and blow your hair.”
Zhao Jinxin kisses Li Shuo quickly. He runs into his bedroom. Li Shuo's face is soft and his heart is warm.
Zhao Jinxin ran to the bedroom door, suddenly grabbed the door frame, turned around and said, ”if you want to see my chest muscles, I can take them off for you at any time.” Then he blinked and sent a kiss to lishuo.
Li Shuo said with a smile, ”get dressed quickly.”
But half a minute later, Zhao Jinxin put on a long sleeved sweater. The style of the sweater was simple and the color was plain, but the fabric and the cutting were very elegant, and the texture was tight. Zhao Jinxin's raised collarbone, broad shoulder, thick chest muscle and tight waist were perfectly outlined.
Zhao Jinxin said excitedly, ”what gift did Uncle Li buy for me?”
Li Shuo said with a smile, ”take it apart and have a look.”
Zhao Jinxin untied the ribbon, opened the gift box and said mysteriously, ”it's not a mermaid suit, is it?”Li Shuo couldn't help crying and laughing: ”what do you think? Look at this box.” The gift box is embroidered and wrapped. Although it looks like machine-made cloth, it is also very elegant.
”You're kidding.” Zhao Jinxin licked his lips and suddenly opened the gift box He took the pair of brocade animal sheep out of the silk cloth and said, ”it's beautiful.”
Li Shuo saw him smile, heart also suddenly open: ”I drive past an exhibition, a glance in the middle. Your name has a ”Brocade”, which belongs to sheep. It's just right for you. ”
Zhao Jinxin looked at Li Shuo with bright eyes and smart light. He said seriously, ”this gift is really thoughtful. I like it very much. Thank you.”
”Just like it.” Li Shuo's uneasy heart is finally solid.
Zhao Jinxin with that pair of brocade, in the living room everywhere: ”hang there good, no, hang up will fall into the dust...”
”Blow your hair first.” Li Shuo put the brocade back in the box. ”You have time to think about where to hang it.”
Zhao Jinxin just askew on Li Shuo like no bone: ”Uncle Li helps me to play.”
”All right, come here.”
Zhao Jinxin sits at the head of the bed, and lishuo stands in front of him, blowing his wet hair.
Zhao Jinxin raised his hand with a bad smile, put his finger into the gap of lishuo's shirt button, scratched his skin.
”Don't make any noise.” Lishuo rubs his head at random.
Zhao Jinxin is obedient and begins to untie lishuo's button. Lishuo opens his hand and he goes to pick up the buckle.
Li Shuo said with a smile, ”little whore - devil, can you be honest?”
”You call me a little whore --- devil, if I am honest, I will not fail you.”
”It's not true.” Li Shuo said, ”put your hands behind your back.”
”What's the good of my back?”
”If you are obedient, I will make you delicious food.”
