The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

After they left Yellowstone Park, they didn't go back to China immediately, so Qin Xiu planned to stop by Rocky Mountain National Park.They stopped at a motel on the way, and Qin Xiu suddenly received a strange call at night.

"Is it Mr. Qin Xiuqin?"

Qin Xiuxiu sat outside the bathtub with his sleeves rolled up to help the dog in the bathtub take a bath, and answered with his mobile phone between his shoulders.

Archer was rubbed with bubbles all over his head. He was so annoying. The white foam fell on his sensitive big black nose, and he sneezed several times immediately. He thought, can I wash it myself? Who wants you to wash it for me? , take your hands away from the dog's dick, will you?

Qin Xiu rubbed his hands and suddenly stopped. The big golden retriever used his paws to remove the foam from his eyes, and then he turned his head to see Qin Xiu's dazed expression.

The caller turned out to be Robert Higgins, the executive editor of "The Great Legacy". For the first time, the other party called to ask Qin Xiu if he had time to meet. Mr. Higgins didn't specify the purpose of the meeting, but Qin Xiu was kind The visitor had a bad premonition, because the other party mentioned Yin Zebei's name.

The meeting place was at Higgins' villa in Beverly Hills. This was not a very formal meeting. When Archer and Qin Xiu agreed to go, Master Higgins had just come back from a morning run.

"I'm sorry to keep you two waiting for so long," the bearded American old man with a towel around his neck looked at Qin Xiu who got up from the sofa, and said with a hearty smile, "Mr. Qin is more serious than he looks in the photo! This is your assistant..." Zhu didn't say anything for a long time, student Shen's vicious dog face obviously made Mr. Yankee a little uncomfortable.

Archer said in his heart that we don't know what kind of medicine you sell at the moment, can you not be serious? Thinking of this, he became a little more serious.At this time, Qin Xiu who was beside him said in a deep voice, "Is Mr. Higgins looking for me for something?"

"Actually, I've wanted to meet the Chinese photographer who rejected our invitation for a long time." The bearded Higgins quickly recovered his pleasant smile.

"That's not what you said on the phone." Qin Xiu's tone was guarded.

"Ah, that's right, Mr. Yin Zebei mentioned you to me. He and I seem to have some different opinions about you, so I want to see you in person." Before Qin Xiu could say anything, He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "I prepared lunch for the two of you, but it's still early, and I usually work at the observatory at this time, do you want to take a look together?"

Qin Xiu was still thinking about the other party's intentions, and the serious face of the student Shen who was beside him suddenly collapsed: "Observatory?! Is it real or not?!"

What a dog mate...

No wonder Higgins' villa is located at the highest point of this hilltop mansion, because he spent a lot of money to build himself a small observatory in the backyard.

Qin Xiu watched as the bearded Higgins got into the observatory, which was less than two meters high, and then the small white dome opened left and right, revealing a large-aperture white telescope.There is a computer under the telescope. As soon as the big Higgins sits in, the observatory, which is less than two meters away, looks very small.

This can't be called a small observatory, it should be called a minicooper observatory or a smart observatory... Qin Xiu thought to himself.

But that telescope is undoubtedly a good thing. It is not a reflex or refractor telescope that ordinary astronomers usually use, but a self-made optical astronomical telescope with a special large mirror. The barrel is so big... the diameter of the primary mirror can exceed half a meter.

"You're still an astronomer?" Archer patted the telescope in admiration.

"Haha, amateur," Higgins smiled while stroking his beard, "ah, boy, this telescope doesn't look like this, the small one on top is the eyepiece..."

Qin Xiu looked at Shen Che, who was acting like I was being stupid and proud, and regretted bringing him here to make a fool of myself.

Sitting in front of the computer, Higgins looked at the photos taken yesterday, and said to Qin Xiu: "I used to be like you, wishing I could be at the Antarctic today and tomorrow at the equator. Later, something went wrong with my body and I couldn't fly, but I found that In fact, staying at home quietly and looking up at the night sky can also capture fascinating scenery.” Higgins closed the image program, revealing the huge starry sky map on the computer desktop, but it is different from the usual scene of the Milky Way hanging in the sky , this one is colorful.

Archer took a closer look and realized that the glittering objects in this picture were not stars, but countless patches of extragalactic galaxies.

"This is the famous Hubble Deep Field, which records the closest view to the edge of the universe that the Hubble Space Telescope can see." Higgins stared at the screen. This photo, which can be called a panoramic view of the universe, obviously made him very excited. Fascinated, "Many of these galaxies are already very close to the edge of the universe. The light they emit cannot be captured by the human eye. With the help of computer assistance, their appearance is reproduced in front of our eyes."

At this point, Qin Xiu had already heard the meaning of the other party's words, but breathed a sigh of relief: "Please tell me what Yin Zebei told you."

"It doesn't really matter what he said to me, but I can also tell you." Higgins looked up. "He told me that he suspected that you deliberately concealed the fact that you were colorblind."

Archer was taken aback, how did Yin Zebei know that Qin Xiu was colorblind?He hurriedly blurted out: "This is slander!"

"Slander?" Higgins looked at the beautiful iceberg who was frowning and said nothing, "Really?"

Archer also looked nervously at Qin Xiu, who was silent for a long time: "...No."

Archer stared at Qin Xiu who confessed frankly, and immediately turned to the editor-in-chief: "Mr. Higgins, please listen to me! He didn't hide it intentionally, he did it for a reason, this guy really loves photography! "

"Okay, Shen Che," Qin Xiu's voice sank, and he said in Chinese, "Don't make it so ugly."

Archer couldn't control Qin Xiu's self-esteem hanging in the sky now, and said to Higgins in broken English with a machine gun: "This guy swore to me when he was a kid that he wanted to be a field photographer. I wanted to take pictures of Demoiselle Cranes. At that time, I didn’t even know what a Demoiselle Crane was! At that time, his color blindness was discovered by the school’s teachers. He was obviously a gifted student since he was a child, but because of this, the teachers used sympathy. What does it matter if you look at it with your eyes? This guy is a born photographer. He is only seven years old. Everyone agrees with the photos he took! Mr. Higgins, if you have seen the photos he took when he was young, you will definitely know Knowing that a man like him is destined to be a photographer, I've been convinced from the first time I saw his pictures!"

Higgins snorted, "Are those photos still there?"

The curly-haired youth seemed to have been hit by a stick suddenly, drooping his head sullenly: "...he is gone now."

Qin Xiu looked at Shen Che, who had suddenly become listless from being extremely excited, and thought to himself that of course he was gone, you obviously made this up!Everyone said it was good after reading it, and I believed it for the first time I saw it, and you edited it a little more reservedly, I blushed to death when I heard it, okay?

Higgins looked at Qin Xiu: "Is it red-green color blindness or panchromatic blindness..."

"Red-green color blindness." Qin Xiu replied calmly.

Higgins nodded: "Your situation is exactly the opposite of my current situation. My eyes have been replaced with artificial lenses because of cataracts. I don't know if you have heard of them. This kind of artificial lens is a little special," said the bearded old man Looking at the sky and squinting, "It allows the human eye to see ultraviolet light."

Qin Xiu and Archer were a little surprised at the same time.

"So everything I see under the sun is different from yours. It is winter now, and the ultraviolet rays are not strong, but I can still see a faint blue halo," Higgins looked at a certain place in the void and smiled slightly, " Very beautiful. Especially in summer, when walking in the woods and seeing the mysterious blue lights under the leaves, it feels like walking in a fairyland. I am a photographer, and of course I hope to capture everything I see in the camera, But this time it can’t be done, and sometimes I don’t know whether to feel sorry for myself or for everyone else.” The bearded old man bent down and walked out of the observatory, stood up and said to the two, “I said this to tell you , in fact, the world seen by the human eye is not absolutely real, just like the galaxies invisible to the naked eye in the Hubble deep field, this universe is full of all kinds of dark matter invisible to the naked eye, even the light emitted by the stars, human beings What the eyes can see is only a very limited part of the spectrum. In fact, what we see is only a real part."

Higgins turned to Qin Xiu:

"Mr. Qin, I like your works very much. I like them full of romantic imagination and enthusiasm. Although Mr. Yin Zebei has such opinions, I don't care that you are colorblind at all. You are colorblind and misunderstand the world of photography."

Qin Xiu looked at the well-meaning Mr. Editor-in-Chief, and was a little speechless: "Mr. Higgins..."

"Please don't be timid because you can't see red and green. Maybe those works that don't look special in the eyes of ordinary people have extreme beauty in the eyes of colorblind audiences?" Higgins said, "You Your work is not just for us, but for people like you."

These sincere and sincere words were like clearing the clouds to see the sun. Higgins uttered such a simple truth from Higgins’s mouth that had been entangled in his heart for so many years. Qin Xiu felt ashamed and grateful. Thousands of words finally turned into a promise A strong "thank you."

Only Archer was so embarrassed that he was dying of embarrassment. It's so stupid to use the heart of a golden retriever to judge the belly of a gentleman, isn't it!Seeing the servants arranging the dishes in the restaurant, he hurriedly said "I'll help, you guys talk slowly" and ran to the restaurant.

"You have a good partner." Higgins glanced at the embarrassing wheat-colored sunny youth with a smile, "reminds me of my childhood friend."

Qin Xiu looked at the back of Shen Che helping the maid to arrange the dining chairs. It was also the first time he saw Shen Che lying for himself.I didn't think about it before, but now that I think about it, I just saved your life at the seaside. Are all you spirit dog tribes repaying your kindness with such enthusiasm? ...Ah, by the way, it's the Spirit Dog Clan, just one word away, that guy is going to be angry again.

Saving this idiot of the Spirit Dog Clan always feels like he has made a lot of money. He never wants others to save this guy in his life.

The day after being entertained by Mr. Higgins for one lunch and one dinner, Archer and Qin Xiu returned to China.As for how Yin Zebei learned about Qin Xiu's color blindness, they had long forgotten about it.

As soon as Qin Xiu came back, Wang Ziqiong came to him with a stack of contracts to sign with a smile on his face. In addition to ANNYWOOD, Fei Li Jewelry, and the domestic first-line fashion magazine "TIDE&STYLE", Qin Xiu's return also means that there are a lot of stars again. Endorsements, albums and photobooks are going to be thrown into his hands.

Archer also got busy with Qin Xiu, and now their life and work rhythm is basically going out to shoot for a month, coming back to work for two months, going out for another month, and so on.Although it was a high-intensity work-intensity when they came back, neither of them had any complaints. This kind of life made them very satisfied.

"Sai Ning actually found Ozhe Lun for this endorsement ad. I really don't know what's so good about Ozhe Lun." Wang Ziqiong was puzzled, "Besides, it's rare for a female beauty brand to find a male model as an endorsement." After finishing speaking, she looked at Qin Xiu, "They haven't decided on the female model they need the most. Who do you think is suitable?"

Seeing Qin Xiu resting his chin and considering candidates, Archer hurriedly interjected, "Would you like to find Abi?"

Wei Liang adjusted his glasses: "Abi? In my impression, this model rarely takes orders and is very picky?"

"That's very picky for other photographers," Wang Ziqiong triumphantly twirled the free Ren'ai gynecology ballpoint pen, "I'm very fond of our Qin photographer, Miss Abi."

Wei Liang didn't know what he meant by hearing this, his face was pink and his expression was all sorts of strange.

"Let me get in touch first." Qin Xiudao looked at the young dog with a triumphant smile on his face when he changed the printer ink and there would inevitably be a few drops of ink on the corner of his mouth with disgust.

In the evening, Archer called to tell Ozhelun the great news, and Ou called on the phone, "Shengou really has you".

"What Shengou, my name is Shen Che!" Archer corrected with a straight face.

"I can't remember people's names, but it would be great if I can remember your surname Shen! It took a lot of effort! I still don't remember the manager's name~~"

Shen Gou was not happy: "Then you can't call me Shen Gou..."

"I didn't call you Shengou," O'Zhelun hopped on the sofa, "I called you Goddog! Amazing dog! Goddog!"

Archer thinks this title is quite pleasant: "Aren't you going to shoot Wei Liang's convenience store advertisement tomorrow? Maybe Abi will come to sign the contract tomorrow."

"God dog!!" O'Zhelun was bouncing on the sofa excitedly.

"The god dog is here~~~" Archer replied comfortably, lying on his back on the sofa.
