Chapter 199 Li Qiao sneaks in (3)
Chapter 199
The wind rolled up the curtains like waves, and the "top of the waves" caressed Li Qiao's face. Li Qiao felt that something was tickling him, and he woke up after scratching his face.
"Why did I fall asleep on the table"?Li Qiao asked.
Diana smiled without saying a word.
Li Qiao rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Where are we going this afternoon?"
Diana looked at Li Qiao's exhausted appearance, felt sorry for her, and said, "Forget it, you can rest in the dormitory."
"Don't, I'm busy for the next top 10 match. I may not be able to see you for several months. This is a rare opportunity. If you go there in the afternoon, I will accompany you to the end." Li Qiao patted his chest after speaking.
"are not you tired"?
Li Qiao knew that Diana cared about him, so he stood up and said, "Maybe this body is tired?"
Diana chuckled, seeing Li Qiao's cute appearance, she really liked it.
"Then let's choose a quiet place for a stroll"?
"Okay," Li Qiao readily agreed.
*****
The place Diana chose was "Tianzifang". Li Qiao had heard of this place, but had never been to it. The so-called "Nanluoguxiang" with BJ's in the north and "Tianzifang" in Shanghai in the south are all quaint urban old alleys that have been remodeled in the past ten years.
In the small alley of Tianzifang, the lower buildings are full of specialty shops, while the upper floors are full of old residents. When you see that there are people drying clothes on the balcony upstairs, you know that the residents should be real, not the "cosplay" like in Wuzhen, Shaoxing.
This place is quite quiet, and Li Qiao likes it very much. The afternoon sun shines in, and because the alley is relatively narrow, half of the sun has been blocked, so the temperature is just right and very comfortable.
Because there were not many people, Li Qiao didn't need to be afraid of being recognized, so he simply took off his mask. The two of them walked into the depths of the alley and found a special shop.
"Joe, I want to draw one," Diana said.
"Just take out your phone and take a picture, come on, let me help you," Li Qiao said.
"Do you have interest, do you understand art",
Li Qiao pouted and said, "I don't understand."
"Listen to me if you don't understand",
Helpless, Li Qiao could only follow Diana in.
Although the boss was slovenly and looked like a beggar, he was a nice person, and Diana started chatting with him after a while.
Li Qiao felt that he had no artistic talent, so he walked away consciously to look at the works on the shelf.
Li Qiao saw a clay doll on the shelf, she was very happy, and she thought her mother would like it, but there was no label on the side, and she didn't know how much it cost.
"Boss, how much is this?"
"Art can't be priced clearly, young man, if you like it, let me ask for a price."
"Tell me clearly, if I offer a piece, will you sell it?"Li Qiao thought.
Li Qiao put the things back and gave up the idea of buying.
In the end, Diana made an agreement with the boss, 300 yuan for a portrait, and Li Qiao could only wait and watch.
"Boss, how long will it take?" Li Qiao asked.
"Hush, young man, it will take a little time, you can go to the door and look elsewhere."
"Oh", Li Qiao agreed.
But after thinking about it, Li Qiao remembered that in "Titanic", "Jack" fell in love with "Ruth" through painting.
"Sketches are not good things," Li Qiao thought.
So he said: "No, I'm his boyfriend, I'll wait." After speaking, he took a chair beside him and sat down with Erlang's legs up and waited.
The corners of Diana's mouth couldn't help but curl up. Li Qiao grew up with her. Could she not know what Li Qiao was thinking?
About half an hour later, the painting was finished, and Diana was very satisfied, but the boss asked Li Qiao, "How did I draw your girlfriend?"
Li Qiao thought: "It doesn't matter how the painting is, but I am very upset that you stared at my girlfriend lewdly for a long time."
Li Qiao shrugged and didn't answer, meaning it was so-so.
After leaving the small shop, Diana seemed quite satisfied looking at the newly painted portrait under the sun.
Li Qiao on the side said sourly: "I knew how to draw when I was in kindergarten."
Diana rolled up the painting and said, "Joe, you look so jealous".
Li Qiao was seen through, blushed, and hurriedly said: "Why are you eating vinegar, you see, when I eat raw fried for breakfast, I don't dip in vinegar."
Diana put her face close to Li Qiao and smiled, "Then why don't you like that painter".
"I just don't like him looking at you lewdly. All the painters you know are very lewd. Have you seen "Titanic"?"
Diana was defeated by Li Qiao. People watched "Titanic" because they saw eternal love. Jack died for Ruth, but how could Li Qiao be different?
"Are you sure we both watched the same "Titanic"? Why do I feel differently from you?"
Li Qiao blushed even more, and could only say: "Forget it, I'm generous, I don't mind."
"Then hold the painting for me," Diana said.
*****
Tianzifang is a series of small alleys. If you don’t pay attention, it’s easy to get dizzy when you walk around and don’t know where you are.
"Are we lost?" Li Qiao asked.
"Why, are you afraid?"
"How is it possible, I will hit ten by myself," Li Qiao raised his head and said.
"Ten what? Ten cockroaches?"
Li Qiao flattened his mouth and said, "If you tease me again, I will lose your painting."
"That's right, I'll go back and ask him to draw a picture."
"you",
Li Qiao lowered his head, bickering that he was really no match for Diana.
While walking, Li Qiao smelled something very fragrant.
"Did you smell the fragrance"?Li Qiao asked.
"Well, it's like the smell of 'pancakes'," said Diana.
Li Qiao was a little hungry, he walked along the direction of the scent, and finally came to a small two-story bungalow.
"According to the direction where the fragrance came from, it should be right here," Li Qiao said.
"So..",
The two said in unison, "Of course I went in to taste it."
I went in and asked, and it is true that this is a place for Italian afternoon tea. Li Qiao and Diana have really sharp noses.
The two were taken to the terrace on the second floor, a beautiful open balcony with four or five small tables, probably because it was a weekday, only one table had a couple of foreigners eating.
After sitting down, the two each ordered a muffin, Li Qiao ordered the chocolate flavored one, Diana ordered the strawberry flavored one, and the two also ordered a latte art coffee respectively.
There were not many customers in the store, and everything was ready within 10 minutes. Li Qiao and Diana were very happy when they saw it. The clerk was very considerate. Usually, the patterns on the "latte art coffee" in the store are cartoon characters, small animals, etc., but the patterns in this store are actually the faces of customers.
"You are so amazing, then you will remember my face for a while," Li Qiao asked.
"As long as you are satisfied," said the waiter.
After the waiter left, Diana looked at Li Qiao taking a cup of coffee, "The drawing of Li Qiao on it looks pretty similar."
"Let me see yours," Li Qiao said.
Diana passed the coffee in her hand to Li Qiao, and Li Qiao looked at it. Although the surface of the small coffee could not be painted very similar, it was very similar. For example, the long hair like Diana's waterfall was painted very vividly.
Li Qiao held the coffee in his hand and was a little reluctant to return it to Diana.
"Joe, let's exchange, give me yours, and give you mine",
"Okay", Li Qiao was about to do this.
After that, the two of them ate muffins, but they couldn't bear to take a sip of the coffee in front of them. Finally, when the muffins were finished, the two of them met their eyes and thought, "What about the coffee? It's impossible to pack this."
Li Qiao finally suggested that after the photo was taken, the two of them closed their eyes and stirred with a spoon, then drank in one gulp.
Diana chuckled in agreement.
Li Qiao took out his mobile phone, took a picture of "Diana" on the coffee, then closed his eyes, quickly stirred the pattern into the coffee and drank it.
"I won't come to this store in the future, who would be willing to drink this kind of coffee," said Diana.
Li Qiao smiled and took out her mobile phone to show Diana, "I drank the coffee, but I can't drink the memories."
"Wow, Joe, that's the most educated thing you've ever said",
"Cut", Li Qiao said.
*****
After drinking, Diana wanted to go shopping for clothes. Of course, Li Qiao had no objections. The two walked to the former "French Concession" area in Shanghai. Now it is a famous commercial street in Shanghai, and there are small shops selling clothes on both sides.
"Joe, the clothes in this area are quite expensive",
Li Qiao smiled and said: "It's okay, the money I earn from playing football is more than enough to buy you clothes."
Diana smiled slightly and said, "Then I'm not welcome."
The two walked into a three-bay storefront. In the business environment of this area where every inch of land is expensive, such a storefront is considered very large.
As soon as she entered the store, the boss greeted her. The boss was a woman with green hair dyed, and she looked very individual. It was only later that Li Qiao found out that the boss herself used to be a fashion designer.
Similarly, Li Qiao, who is a fashion layman, still stepped aside. The boss was picking clothes for Diana. After picking out a suit, Diana changed into it and walked out.
Li Qiao looked at it with a smile, and the boss said, "Your girlfriend looks beautiful in this suit."
Li Qiao knew what that meant, "Hurry up and pay the bill, and give it to her."
But to be honest, this "order" Li Qiao bought it willingly, it was really good-looking, Li Qiao took out the credit card and handed it to the boss, saying: "I want it".
Diana’s figure is just like a model’s. She has changed several sets, all of which are very beautiful, but Diana has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart. She says one thing, but does it differently. No matter how the boss persuades her, Diana still only buys one set.
After leaving the store, Li Qiao said: "Actually, they are all very pretty, don't you like the one behind?"
Diana smiled, "You really think of yourself as a rich man."
