The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

Archer planned to wait for Qin Xiu to calm down before going back to the studio in a few days, and he still wanted to say something to him face to face.When I went downstairs to buy instant noodles this day, I saw Jenny.

The two of them were sitting on the flower terrace downstairs in the Friendship Building. Jenny came to him in the hope that he could return to the studio. It was said that the studio had received several big orders during this period, and Qin Xiu was almost overwhelmed by himself.

"Qin Xiu was angry with you for so long about driving that time, and Wang Ziqiong and I felt it was a bit too much, but there is a reason why he was so strict about driving."

Jenny probably misunderstood the reason why she didn't go back to the studio, but Archer was also surprised that Jenny came to him specifically to say this, "What is the reason?"

"He had a car accident when he was a child. I heard that when he was moving, the driver of the moving company was driving fatigued for 24 hours. The car accidentally hit a large truck on the overpass. Qin Xiu's mother died in the accident." Jenny took a deep breath, "Qin Xiu was only seven years old at that time."

Archer was astonished. Wasn't that when Qin Xiu left Spirit Dog Town? !

"It's a good thing Qin Xiu doesn't remember the car accident." Jenny said with her elbow resting on her knee.

Archer was startled: "What do you mean by not remembering?"

"It's just that the car accident and the memory before the car accident are gone, so I don't remember the tragedy of my mother's death. According to the doctor, it may be because the brain was hit in the car accident, or it may be because some kind of psychological defense mechanism instinctively wants to refuse. This memory, in short, when Qin Xiu woke up in the hospital, his memory of the past was blank." Speaking of this, the female makeup artist was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved, "Later, Qin Xiu lived with grandma. In fact, from his Looking at it from a different perspective, amnesia is a blessing in misfortune. Although he has experienced such things as car accidents and the loss of his mother, he has no painful memories, and what he forgets is only the memories before the age of seven. These memories will be forgotten anyway when he grows up. Yes, for him, it is God's extra grace to minimize the loss."

Archer's mood was indescribably tangled, distressed, and grateful—Xiao Xiu did not forget him, at least he did not forget him because of 16 years of life, study and work, and it was not his intention to forget him. "Really... have you forgotten all about it?"

"Well, forget it all, he doesn't even remember wearing women's clothing when he was a child, and he only found out after seeing the photos later." Jenny said, "We all think it's a good thing for him, probably only him I don’t think so, every time Wang Ziqiong couldn’t help driving fast, Qin Xiu would be furious, obviously he didn’t remember the car accident and what happened before the car accident, but he always complained that the car accident took away his precious memories.”

How precious is it? In fact, it is not necessarily clear. Qin Xiu has a small photo album, and the photos in it are "supposedly" clues to his precious memories. Once Wang Ziqiong secretly looked through it while Qin Xiu was away. She was a little afraid at first, but I couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I watched it with Mr. Wang who stole the card.Turning to the first page, there is a Pekingese dog peeing on a telephone pole with its hind legs raised.

The two turned to the second page for some unknown reason. The second page showed a poodle peeing on its hind legs under the lamp post.

After reading several pages of peeing dog butts, dachshunds, greyhounds, huskies, Labradors... Wang Ziqiong and her almost threw up, and he even dared to secretly take pictures of pitbulls.It is said that once Qin Xiu went to get rabies vaccine for a week, and asked him what was the matter, but he didn't say anything, so it turned out that this was the crux.Ordinary dogs can't bite Qin Xiu. It seems that he was bitten by that pitbull. Qin Xiu was lucky if he didn't get seriously injured.It is not known how many days the pitbull was in the hospital.

Looking at the dogs peeing on their hind legs, Wang Ziqiong couldn't figure it out: "What is it about this posture that attracts him so much?"

Then there are bottles, all kinds of small glass bottles, soda bottles, Coke bottles, olive oil bottles, milk bottles, three essence blue bottles... all kinds of sandwich biscuits, Oreos, small cakes, chocolate pies, egg yolk pies, Some took two bites, some licked twice, and some were soaked in milk. Anyway, the school girl must have licked and bitten the bubbles... Finally, there are trash cans, all of which are large trash cans on the side of the road. In this part, she and the prince Joan didn't have the courage to finish it.

Wang Ziqiong finally closed the album tremblingly: "Is this a precious memory?"

Mr. Wang even made the reasoning that "this precious memory is soaking Oreo in a milk bottle and eating it, and then found that it was urine from a dog, and then angrily threw it into the trash can".

Jenny doesn't think there is any necessary connection between these photos, it may just be some irrelevant pictures in memory, she and Wang Ziqiong don't want Qin Xiu to remember, because even if there are such precious memories, whether it is about the mother Yes, it's about something else, after all these years, he has completely disappeared from his life, thinking about it will only make him sadder.

"Go back, I think Qin Xiu wants you to go back." Jenny patted the curly-haired young man in a daze, got up and left.

The curly-haired young man sat alone on a flower bed in a deserted alley until he turned into a golden retriever squatting on the flower bed.

He has always felt that it is a terrible thing to have no memory, and he can't help but think of the old couple who came to the studio to take pictures that day. They only learned from their mother-in-law that her wife had Alzheimer's disease when they were sending them away.

"Grandpa really doesn't remember you at all?" It must be hard to be forgotten by the person you love the most.

"It's not that he doesn't remember me, he just doesn't remember that he remembers me." The mother-in-law patted the grandfather's skinny hand, and the grandfather smiled like a child.

——I didn't save you because I wanted to save you, maybe it was just a habit.

The big golden retriever jumped off the flower bed.This is enough.

The girl ran out from the studio door crying, stopped halfway, turned her head and shouted into the window: "You are so handsome! You will definitely not be able to marry a wife in the future!"

The curtains of the blinds swished violently, and the girl ran away in fright.

Archer watched this scene from a distance, feeling powerless to complain, the assistant who was recruited with great difficulty, you offended someone and ran away after only a week.During this period of time, although he was waiting for Qin Xiu to calm down, he often wandered around the studio, knowing that Qin Xiu was now a lonely family again.I don't know why today, Wang Ziqiong and Jenny may not be in the studio because of something, if they were there, Qin Xiu wouldn't offend the new assistant.

Qin Xiuxiu was dismantling the scenery wall by himself, when he heard someone knock on the door: "Come in."

There was no movement behind him for a while, Qin Xiu turned his head impatiently, and then froze.

The curly-haired young man in a peaked cap stood a little cautiously at the door, still wearing the pullover and jeans he wore the day he left.

Wear a sweater in this winter, I guess the sweater is worn on the ground, so it doesn’t leak air?Remember to take your clothes with you when you leave, idiot!His face sank: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to apply for your assistant." Archer looked directly at the other party and said seriously.

Qin Xiu shut his mouth for a while without speaking, looked at the curly-haired young man for a while, walked up to him, took off the peaked cap, picked up a fluffy ear with his fingers, and said warmly, "How do you want to be my assistant like this?" He stretched out his hand behind Archer again, stroking his buttocks, "Where's the tail, huh?"

Archer blushed and avoided the hand: "In the trousers, in the trousers!"

"Dare to hide!" Qin Xiu glared at him coldly, touched the pinched tail through his jeans with his hands, lowered his head in frustration, and pulled at the other's belt, unbuttoned it and slid down the zipper, reached in and violently Pulling out the fluffy tail, he held it up to his eyes and said viciously, "What's the use of this thing in the long run? What can it do for me? Brush glass?"

The tail was pinched in the palm of the hand, and Archer felt uncomfortable all over: "Don't pinch it..."

"You can't even pinch, it's useless!" Qin Xiu threw the tail, turned around and left.

"Xiao Qin, you are free now..."

The fat man and female model who came in through the door suddenly saw the curly-haired young man wearing pants at the door, and they were stunned.

Archer quickly pulled up his trousers, put his hat on his head, and enthusiastically said to the two of them: "Please come in, I'm free now, right Brother Qinxiu (ah bah)!"

The fat man sized up the sunny curly-haired youth with an ambiguous expression, and the female model also squinted her eyes and inspected it inch by inch: "It turns out that Qin Xiu is so nice, no wonder women are not close..."

Qin Xiu ignored the teasing: "Since you're here, hurry up." After speaking, he turned and walked into the studio, only to realize that he couldn't put on makeup when Jenny wasn't there. He lifted the curtain and came out to make a phone call, only to see Curly-haired Archer already there. He used his cell phone to contact Jenny and Wang Ziqiong.

The makeup artist and stylist arrived half an hour later, Jenny gave Archer a thumbs up covertly, and Wang Ziqiong whispered in Archer's ear: "Let's be buddies, so that he can fully understand the unforgettable memory of your absence." Lonely, Jenny and I have nothing to do, so we leave him alone in the studio!"

Archer was very happy. Although Wang Ziqiong still owed him money for the meal, he did a very good job this time.

This time it is to take a group of advertising wedding photos for the other party.The female model walked up to the set wall with her skirt in her hand, and brushed her hair: "I've gotten a little fat recently, please give me a beautiful shot~~" Qin Xiu walked to the camera seat and shouted, "Soft light... ..." I regretted it, and suffered this compromise too quickly...

The softbox on the right is turned on.Qin Xiu watched the curly-haired young man skillfully turn on the two softboxes on both sides of the camera, adjusted the brightness of the main light, set up the reflective umbrella, and looked back at him, indicating whether it was ok.

Qin Xiu held up the camera with a straight face and tried it: "I want to use the effect of backlighting."

Archer nodded, moved the two heavy and large softboxes to both sides of the set wall behind the model, turned back to adjust the main light to 1/2 brightness, and arranged reflectors next to the camera.At this time, Qin Xiu heard Qin Xiu say "the light is from bottom to top", he hurriedly found a bottom light and placed it under the reflector, adjusted the angle of the reflector, raised his head and asked, "Is it ok?"

Qin Xiu looked at the perfect backlighting effect in front of him, and finally hummed: "Start work."

Although the voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, Archer was still very encouraged, and he stood meticulously behind the camera seat, watching Qin Xiu's back taking pictures, holding the phone vertically with both hands, and concentrating on his handsome posture.The shutter sounded sharply, and the model was in good condition. The photos of the first set of wedding dresses were taken soon. After the model changed to the second set, Qin Xiu moved his wrists, shook his neck from side to side, and his head did not move. Turning back to the people behind him: "Music."

Archer was busy playing music.

"wind."

Archer sets up the blower.

"cloth."

Archer hung up the soft light two or three times.

Even the fat manager said behind his back: "Xiao Qin, your assistant is very capable."

Archer was full of pride, and secretly went to see Qin Xiu's reaction, but unfortunately the other party didn't respond, he just ordered the model to put on a suitable pose.

It took more than three hours to shoot, Archer moved the equipment around by himself, Wang Ziqiong and jenny are too good buddies, in order to - as Wang Ziqiong said - set off his ability, watching him tired It's fine if you don't come to help him when you're tired, but the model will leave as soon as he walks. After a busy afternoon, Archer is so tired that he sits down on the threshold, pulling his sweater collar and panting.

Qin Xiu put on his camera bag and glanced at the curly-haired young man sitting on the steps. He really couldn't change the dog's morality. If there was a chair, he had to sit on the floor. He snorted: "Let's go, close the door."

Archer sat there without moving: "Then can I come tomorrow?"

Qin Xiu lowered his head and glanced at the curly-haired young man looking up at him eagerly. When he thought about what those dog ears and dog tail were doing at the moment, he couldn't bear to look straight at him, dog dog!You are a big dog!What do I want you to do?can't come!

"up to you."
