The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

Yin Xiangdong invited a few friends to go to a nightclub that day, and it was already midnight when he got home. He thought his father and the nanny were asleep, but he saw that the light was still on in his father's study. He opened the door wonderingly, and there was no one in the study. , his father's computer was still on, he wondered why his father hadn't slept so late, so he walked around to the desk, and when he saw the picture on the screen, he couldn't help being surprised——

Isn't this... the Golden Lake? !

No, this is a very ordinary lake. It just looks a bit like the Golden Lake back then, but if you look closely, you can see that it is not the same lake.But why did the father drive this picture?Yin Xiangdong felt more and more strange. Seeing that the browser was still open at the bottom of the screen, he clicked on it.

The page of the browser is his father's e-mail. Yin Xiangdong was shocked when he saw the content of the e-mail.

The email seems to be sent to him by his father’s friend abroad. The content of the email is roughly that the lake you are looking for, I recently found a similar one in Cambodia, see the attachment for details.

Yin Xiangdong had already guessed that the photo in the attachment was the one he saw now, but he downloaded the photo again to make sure, opened it and took a look, and it was as expected.

Yin Xiangdong slumped on the chair in a daze, what does this mean?Father has been looking for the Golden Lake?Why bother to find a place that obviously doesn't exist?

"Why are you here?"

Yin Zebei's voice suddenly sounded, and Yin Xiangdong looked at his father standing in front of the study with a gloomy expression. Although he was always a little drumming when facing his father, he was full of doubts and had to ask: "Why? Didn't you say that Doesn't the lake exist? Why do you ask people to look for it?"

Yin Zebei walked to the desk and looked at the photo that looked like a golden lake: "I don't believe there is a golden lake in the world. Since your classmate insisted that his father was wronged and asked me to prove it, I will just find out the evidence." , Take a step back, if there is a golden lake in this world, I can also give Qin Mozhi justice."

Yin Xiangdong looked at his father who spoke very calmly. It seemed that the gloomy expression on his face before was just his illusion, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's like this..."

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Yin Zebei frowned and looked at his son, "What are you doubting about your father?"

Yin Xiangdong knew he was wrong, God knows he doubted his father just because of Qin Xiu's few words, he threw away the ridiculous assumption in his mind: "Since this is the case, you don't need to look for father, how could such a lake exist, Qin Xiu That guy just got into the horns and couldn't get out, and he will understand in two years."

Yin Zebei didn't say anything, and waved him away.

Yin Xiangdong went back to his room and planned to go to sleep, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but turned on his laptop. The "Great Legacy" magazine will announce the list of winners in the next few days, and all the shortlisted photos have been published on the official website. He originally told himself not to worry about that guy anymore, but he still really wants to know what Qin Xiu's photo looks like Sample.

Browsing all the photos, deliberately ignoring the photographer's name, there are more than 100 photos of natural creatures, and there are three that impressed him the most.Arranged in order of browsing, the first one is a photo of migrating wildebeests crossing the Mara River. The cameraman is very close, almost in the herd of wildebeests. The whole photo is full of wildebeests. You Each wildebeest has its own unique expression, with no hesitation, looking back, brave, and frightened... In the splashing Mara River, it forms an extraordinary image of all beings.

The second picture is the moment when a blue whale surfaced. It is already extraordinary to have a blue whale sitting in the town. What is unique about this picture is that the lens is half above the water and half under the water. The waves in the ocean are so In a big case, this kind of shooting is almost a gamble, but the photographer took the gamble.The mammoth body of the blue whale is underwater, and the part that emerges from the water is just the tip of the iceberg. The feeling is really shocking.

The last one is a jumping leopard. Although the subject matter is not as good as the first two, the shooting angle of this photo is very special. The leopard is squatting and jumping on the highest point of the dead wood. Because it is located at the commanding height, the grassland and trees cannot be seen behind it. There is only a huge sunset, and the moment it leaps up, two vultures on the left and right of the tree also spread their wings. At first glance, the picture looks like this leopard with its wings open. It is very refreshing and very unique. Works of the imagination.

The three photos are rare masterpieces, and Yin Xiangdong began to carefully read the introduction of the photography works, and then he let out a long breath and leaned back on the chair.It's the last one.It's really hard to see what that guy lost.

He no longer cared who would win the gold award, but he habitually refreshed the webpage for the last time before closing it.After this update, he was stunned—the official website was updated, and a huge FLASH screen popped up. Just as he was browsing those photos, the gold award was announced!

Yin Xiangdong belatedly thought of the time difference between the two places, staring at the flashing FLASH, he couldn't help laughing.True or false, the gold award is not Qin Xiu... I really am not Qin Xiu!

The news relieved Yin Xiangdong so much that he gloated and fell on the bed, recalling those aggrieved days at Yale.No matter what kind of photography competition, whether it is a college competition, an association competition, or a formal amateur one, every time he participates, he will definitely win the runner-up. Every time he wins the runner-up, the champion must be the same person!

Although he and Qin Xiu are in the same period, but the tutors are different, and we don't live on campus, so we don't usually have much contact with each other, but Qin Xiu may not notice him, the second child of ten thousand years, but it is impossible for him not to notice To Qin Xiu.

After winning three runner-ups in a row, he was so curious about the guy who was always on top of him. Later, when he was choosing a class, he found that Qin Xiu had taken the history of ancient Greece, so he followed him to the classroom, hugging The idea of ​​giving it a try asked the person in class, but he did find out, and the other person pointed it out to him: "Here, that is Qin Xiu."

Yin Xiangdong looked to the left five or six rows away, and saw a tall and burly man. At first glance, he thought he was an old man with a rough figure, but when he looked closely, he found that he was an Asian student studying abroad like him. He said in his heart that people should not be judged by their appearance. This guy looks like a big, three rough, and one big old. How could he think that he could shoot such a magnificent and delicate work? The more Yin Xiangdong thought about it, the more dissatisfied he was. Turning my head to talk to the person next to me, he looked again, I am relying on a big beauty!From such a distance, you can see the eye-catching black and bright eyes, and then look at the frozen and snow-like serious side face, and you can see that it is the kind of high mountain flower that ordinary people can't reach.Thinking of how Qin Xiu grew up to be so rough that even his girlfriend is prettier than his, he felt even more uncomfortable.

However, Yin Xiangdong still found the other party after class, and he really wanted to get acquainted with this competitor.Photographer Yin stopped the other party at the door of the classroom, and with a thoughtful smile, he stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, Qin Xiu, right? We have been friends for a long time. I am Yin Xiangdong. Do you have any impression?"

Unexpectedly, the rough man was taken aback after hearing this, then turned around with a smile and shouted: "Qin Xiu, someone is looking for you!"

Yin Xiangdong was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the rough man's Gaolinghua "girlfriend" get up and walk down from the back of the lecture theater.

Yin Xiangdong looked at the 1.8-meter-five iceberg beauty standing in front of him like a model, and his whole body was not well.

"Are you looking for me? Who are you?" Bingshan Beauty asked in a deep voice with a voice.

The rough man smiled and introduced: "He is the runner-up."

Then the iceberg beauty said: "Hello, runner-up."

Listening to the cold and condescending "Hello, runner-up", Yin Xiangdong almost wanted to go up and smoke this girl!

In fact, Qin Xiu asked later, "Is there anything wrong?" But he was so shocked by the "Hello, runner-up", that he was stunned and did not respond, so Qin Xiu ignored him and left by himself.

Only after that did he know that Qin Xiu was Qin Mozhi's son, and Qin Xiu also knew that he was Yin Zebei's son, and the rift between the two became even bigger.Qin Xiu actually sneered at him: "If you don't have ghosts like your father, why don't you dare to use your real name when you see me?"

"When did I stop using my real name?!"

Qin Xiu glanced at him contemptuously, said "Goodbye, Yajun", turned around and left.

Yin Xiangdong was going into a rage behind his back, who the hell told you that the runner-up is my name? !Have you got your forehead pinched? !Which parent chooses the name of the child instead of the champion and specifically the runner-up? !

Yin Xiangdong couldn't help but feel a little sad when he recalled the past, he got up and looked at the website of the photography competition again.The work that won the gold award was the wildebeest crossing the river. In fact, in his mind, the weight of these three photos is the same. The judges finally chose this one. The photographer was trampled to death by a galloping wildebeest while filming.After all, it is still too close, and there are crocodiles lurking under the feet of the wildebeest. This is simply a desperate rhythm.It is completely understandable that the organizing committee selected this photo as the gold medal.

It was already dawn, and Yin Xiangdong fell on the bed, still thinking over and over again, Qin Xiu didn't win the gold award, hehe, what the hell didn't win the gold award, haha!

Qin Xiu took down the camera in one breath, stared at the female model with an embarrassed expression, and said in a low voice, "What's going on?"

The manager hurriedly stepped forward and explained that Qiqi had broken up with her a few days ago, and she is not in a very good state recently.

Qin Xiu turned to the manager with an absurd expression: "You told me this last time, she fell out of love again?"

"This time it's a new lovelorn..."

"It's fine if it's the first time you've lost your relationship, but it's the second time. You should get used to it by now."

"Oh, Master Qin, you are considerate and considerate, this person will encounter some unpleasant things..."

When the manager said this, he didn't realize that behind Qin Xiu, Shen Che, Wang Ziqiong and JENNY were gesturing to him.

After winning the gold medal in the photo contest, Archer felt like he was walking on the edge of a knife these days. He was looking forward to Qin Xiu's lifting of the sofa, bed, and table every day. If he did, it would be fine to vent. It's safe to lift it early, but it happens that this week has passed, and nothing has been lifted.Archer knew that this was not a good omen, which meant that Qin Xiu was going to make a big fuss.So during this period of time, including Wang Ziqiong, JENNY Wei Liang and Wei Liang's little assistant, everyone was holding their breath.

Thinking that Qin Xiu would take the agent into action, but in the end he didn't. Master Qin was very dedicated and patient and took the photo late.After work, it was already past seven in the evening, the newly recruited assistant Xiao Qiu left first, Wang Ziqiong and Wei Liang were also about to flash, Qin Xiu walked out of the studio at this time, took his coat and said: "Don't panic Walk."

Wang Ziqiong and Wei Liang were all crowded to the door, so they had to stop with a sad face.Archer wished he could cry when he saw these two people.

Qin Xiu put on his white biker jacket, turned out the large lapel, shook his head and said, "I'm treating guests to dinner."

Wang Ziqiong and Wei Liang moved in in small steps, squeezed JENNY in the middle from left to right, Miss Jian couldn't get off the tiger, so she had to be careful: "Why did you think of inviting us to dinner?"

Qin Xiu tilted his head: "Of course it's for celebration."

A group of people watched Qin Xiu leave behind a beautiful and eerie silhouette, striding out of the studio door, and always felt that the word "celebration" sounded particularly terrifying.

Twenty or ten minutes later, several people sat in the restaurant in silence. Looking at a table of people who seemed to be mourning silently: "Why don't you eat?"

Hearing the cold voice, Wang Ziqiong had resigned himself to his fate. He knew that in the next script, Qin Xiu must stand up, overturn the table with one hand, and growl, "Why don't you eat when I invite you to dinner?" "Why don't you eat why not?" Eat", he could imagine the manic black shadow of the polar bear projected on the wall of the box...

Qin Xiu really stood up, this time he was in a panic, everyone fell back in panic, only Shen Che stood up and opened his hands as if to fly to block the eye-catching movements.Qin Xiu frowned: "What the hell are you doing?!"

Wang Ziqiong's heart couldn't take it anymore, so he put the glass full of soda on the table: "Qin Xiu, we know you're feeling bad, do you think we'll feel better?" The stylist beat his chest in pain, "How could you not win the gold award at your level?! There is only one reason why you didn't win the award. When you photographed the cheetah, the leopard didn't kill you!"

Archer said in his heart that your mouth is too unkind.And that's a leopard.

After hearing this, Qin Xiu was stunned for a moment, sat down again with his eyes lowered, took a sip of Wang Laoji, and said calmly, "So it's because of this." He looked up at the people present, and finally looked at the curly-haired young man on the opposite side. , "You guys are thinking too much, I'm fine, I really want to celebrate being shortlisted for an excellent work. And I think the photo of the wildebeest is great, I'm convinced to lose to it."

Archer can see that what Qin Xiu said is from the heart, but he still can't believe that Qin Xiu can understate it so lightly, saying that he is convinced by Thaksin when he lost to the gold award work, but wouldn't this mean that he lost the opportunity to become a contracted photographer for a long time? .

But Qin Xiu didn't say anything, just glanced at him across the table, he always felt that the glance was particularly meaningful, as if it was comforting him in turn, and seemed to have some indescribable emotions.

Qin Xiu's quiet and deep eyes contained too much information, which made him think all night that night.
