Under the Stars of Van Gogh

Chapter 12 12

Ren Jianing's working hours are slightly better than Qin Ankang's. He doesn't have to go to school every day, he comes and leaves when there are classes, except that he must attend the college's regular administrative meeting every Tuesday afternoon, and overtime and extra teaching tasks are extremely rare. Will appear.

However, even though he has plenty of time, he basically maintains a three-point and one-line life, home, college, and studio.

I am going to live in Shanghai during the winter and summer vacations to visit my parents-in-law and sons.Life is also very monotonous, and he doesn't have many friends because of his introverted personality, so he usually doesn't want to go out.When I have nothing to do, I paint in the studio and kill time.

But now their lives suddenly become colorful. Sometimes Qin Ankang went to the college to take over Ren Jianing after get off work, and sometimes Ren Jianing waited for him in the coffee shop downstairs of Qin Ankang's office. Movies, walks.

On weekends, I also go to the kindergarten to pick up Qin Yan and Qin Miao, and take them to various museums or playgrounds.

The two children liked the gentle and elegant Ren Jianing very much. In terms of the methods and skills of getting along with the children, Ren Jianing was obviously more patient, experienced and skilled than Qin Ankang, and was also more handy.

He can make the children willingly accept the orders and requirements of the adults, and can subtly instill some knowledge and principles of life in them, making Qin Ankang feel inferior and willing to bow down.

The names of Qin Yan and Qin Miao made Ren Jianing very puzzled. He didn't understand why Qin Ankang gave their little brothers such names.

At first I was too embarrassed to ask, but after getting to know them better, I couldn't help asking: "Why did you give them these two names?"

Qin Ankang didn't take it seriously, and said, "What's wrong? Isn't it good?"

Ren Jianing said, "I just want to know what you think?"

Qin Ankang's answer made him laugh and cry: "Because when they were born, the fortune teller said that one of their brothers lacked fire and the other lacked water, so they were called this name."

Ren Jianing wanted to laugh, but held back, fearing that Qin Ankang would be unhappy, and said, "Then you haven't thought about the incompatibility of fire and water? If the brothers don't get along in the future, it's all because of this name!"

Ren Jianing was just talking casually, not taking it seriously, he didn't expect Qin Ankang to be serious and said: "Yeah, why didn't I think of it. If it is true that there will be quarrels in the future, wouldn't it be because of this name."

Seeing that he was serious, Ren Jianing felt that the joke was a bit too much, so he comforted him and said, "I'm talking nonsense, don't take it seriously. It's just a name, there's no need to be so serious." Then he changed the subject, "Fortune-telling? Do you still believe in Buddhism?"

Qin Ankang nodded first, expressing that he didn't take it seriously, and then said: "Ah, my mother believed in Buddhism before, and I followed her to temples a few times. How can I say it? Sometimes it is very effective."

Seeing his devout face, Ren Jianing thought to himself, should he still study law?How can you still believe in these superstitions?Dialectics has been learned in vain.I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it: "Okay, someday we will also go to say goodbye."

Qin Ankang said, "Okay."

They went as soon as they said they would, and they went to the famous Hantan Temple early the next morning.

This temple is famous for two reasons. One is that there is a magical cold pool in front of it. The water in the pool is as cold as ice all year round, so the temple is named after it.

Although it seems that this cold pool, which is known as the coming of Buddha and bathed, is a pool of stagnant water, it still attracts a large number of tourists to watch.

The second reason is that one of the hosts here once had a little relationship with the royal family, and a sign in front of the temple was personally mentioned by the emperor of a certain dynasty.

Therefore, many literati and inkmen have left their footprints here, so it has become a tourist attraction.

Hantan Temple is not very big, and the front yard is the temple hall for tourists to burn incense and worship Buddha, and pray and fulfill their vows.

The backyard is the living place for the abbot and the monks in the temple.

Ren Jianing had never been to any temple before, and seemed a little curious and nervous.

Curiosity is understandable, and the nervousness is entirely because Qin Ankang instilled in him a lot of basic knowledge about Buddhism on the way there, which is a bit wicked. Therefore, Ren Jianing was very nervous, afraid that he would accidentally blaspheme the gods.

After buying sandalwood outside the temple, Ren Jianing and Qin Ankang respectfully worshiped the gods.

They made a wish to each other, but no one asked what the other's wish was, and it would not come true if they said it.

On the way home, Qin Ankang still couldn't help wanting to know the content of Ren Jianing's wish, and after holding back for a long time, he asked, "What wish did you make?"

Ren Jianing said: "It's nothing. I just hope that everyone I know is safe and healthy. What about you?"

Qin Ankang looked at the road ahead and said, "I hope we will be together forever."

Ren Jianing glanced at him, but didn't speak.

For Qin Ankang, the life with Ren Jianing was a life in heaven.

During the time getting along, Ren Jianing gradually realized that Qin Ankang was an extremely lazy person. Although every time he went out to work, his appearance was neat and clean, and his clothes were even and wrinkle-free, but the scene at home was unsightly.

Typical surface split, behind the sloppy people.

The clothes are basically saved until there is nothing to change before they are taken out of the laundry and dyeing shop for cleaning.

He basically doesn't start a fire at home by himself, and solves it at the office at noon. In the evening, he either has a meal or buys some ready-made ones. He finds it troublesome even for semi-finished products.

The first time Ren Jianing gave him a call, before going to the kitchen to cook, he touched it casually and found a thick layer of dust on the stove.

That time was in a hurry, just a simple cleaning.

Later, he found a special time to clean and organize the kitchen from the inside to the outside, disinfecting all the pots and pans.

When Qin Ankang came back from get off work, he screamed at the kitchen, then shook his head and said, "It's so clean, so it can't be used casually. What if it gets dirty?"

The second is the law of life. Qin Ankang does not have a stable biological clock at all. He eats when he is hungry, sleeps when he is sleepy, and drinks when he is thirsty. The only difference from primitive animals is that he can talk.

Meals are irregular, and it is common for people to eat lunch at three or four in the afternoon when they are busy. It happens from time to time, and they often stay up until midnight before going to bed when they have nothing to do, and they have to get up early to go to work the next day.

No matter how strong the body is, it cannot withstand years of abuse and sex. Qin Ankang suffers from severe stomach problems.

Once, Ren Jianing was painting in the studio, and received a call from Qin Ankang, saying that he was not feeling well.

When Ren Jianing arrived at his house, he was walking out of the bedroom in his pajamas.

Ren Jianing asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Ankang protected his stomach with both hands and said, "Stomach hurts."

"Have you eaten yet?" Ren Jianing knew that he had a problem with not eating on time.

Sure enough, Qin Ankang shook his head and said, "No, I forgot the time when I was watching a case."

"Do you want to go to the hospital?" Ren Jianing thought that the stomach problem could be serious or minor, so he couldn't neglect it.

"No, I'm just hungry." Qin Ankang spoke lightly.

Ren Jianing opened his refrigerator, but there was nothing inside. Ren Jianing pointed to the refrigerator and asked, "Is your refrigerator used to hide corpses?"

Qin Ankang smiled embarrassedly.

"Do you still have the strength to go out to eat?" Ren Jianing asked Qin Ankang looking at the exhausted Qin Ankang.

Qin Ankang shook his head.

Ren Jianing had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and go downstairs to buy something for him to eat.

The next day, Qin Ankang came home from get off work and found that there were a lot of things in the refrigerator, including bread, cheese, sausage, eggs, dried noodles, milk, ready-to-eat side dishes and so on.

Qin Ankang's heart suddenly warmed, and the days when someone cared about him were different.

Later, Ren Jianing felt that the food he ate outside was not good. The food outside would always add a lot of monosodium glutamate. Eating too much monosodium glutamate would affect eyesight, and in severe cases, it would lead to blindness.

Therefore, after get off work, he would come over to have dinner with Qin Ankang. Qin Ankang couldn't wait for it, and turned down all entertainment, and rushed home after get off work every day.

When Qin Ankang returned home for the first time and saw four dishes and one soup on the table, he felt at home again.

Even when he was married, his wife seldom cooks, and the experience of eating hot and delicious meals like this is rare, almost never.

Now that Ren Jianing brought him this feeling, it naturally made him feel very warm and comfortable.

Ren Jianing's cooking skills are even better than he imagined, and he is basically proficient in dishes from all over the north and south. Last time, he just showed his skills a little at his house.

Qin Ankang is actually not picky about food, but after all, he has been to many big restaurants and eaten many delicious dishes.

But those dishes were inferior to Ren Jianing's, perhaps because the meal could not only satisfy his hunger but also soothe his soul.

Ren Jianing paid for him, so he naturally had to pay for Ren Jianing.

All he can do is to use his own advantages to play tricks, and his mouth is so sweet that it is boring.

There is no need to say more about sweet words, vows of eternal love, who doesn't like to hear it.

From time to time, he also made some romantic tidbits, such as stuffing a small note on Ren Jianing's clothes, and writing a poem or two on the note.

When Ren Jianing first saw it, he was quite dismissive. Later, when there were more small notes, he slowly began to collect them together, and felt that they were very meaningful.

For another example, when he went out to eat, it would be like magic, and he would take out some strangely shaped gadgets, and he would attach different and extraordinary meanings to these gadgets, so it would be extraordinary to give them to Ren Jianing.

Ren Jianing also enjoys his romantic approach, and sometimes wonders how his mind can come up with so many strange ideas.
