The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

Archer was sleeping on the sofa. He had been transforming for longer and longer now. It was almost eleven hours, and it was only nine o'clock. Luckily, he could still sleep in his body for an hour.He thought of Qin Xiu's meaningful eyes at the barbecue shop, and of what Qin Xiu said, and he couldn't help but smile happily. Before participating in the competition, he didn't think about anything other than the gold medal, but if he really didn't get that Even though he was awarded the award, he could accept it calmly, with sincere respect and appreciation for other winners, so Qin Xiu, who is not surprised by honor or disgrace, is a little different from before.

The back of his head suddenly felt cold, Archer got up on his stomach and looked back, Qin Xiu was standing behind the sofa with a milk can, pretending to be passing by.

Archer wiped the ice water from his hair recklessly, turned over and sat up: "What are you looking at?"

The polar bear drank the milk with a calm face: "I didn't look at you."

Don't deny it, the ice water from your milk jug dripped onto my head, not only did you look at me, but you also leaned over to look at me.Archer recalled that when he was sleeping in Juan [-], Qin Xiu actually secretly photographed him in the middle of the night, what's so interesting about me sleeping?

Qin Xiu gave him a white look: "I didn't look at you."

The young dog grabbed his tail from behind his butt: "Are you looking at it?"

Qin Xiu quickly craned his neck to take a look, Archer was quick to tuck his tail back into his pants, and said he didn't look at it!

"Okay, I'm watching," Qin Xiu said, leaning on the back of the sofa with his arms folded, holding a can.Every time this guy drinks something, the cans must be deformed, which saves the recyclers a lot of work, but the rattling sound is really harsh. Archer clung to the dog's ears, trying to block the sound, and heard Qin Xiu Cool and authentic, "I'm just to see what's the difference between you falling asleep like this and the second volume."

"What's the difference?" Archer scratched his hair and yawned.

Qin Xiu wondered what he was thinking about with great relish, and then turned around: "Are you used to lying down like a dog when you sleep? Would your hands be like this if you lay down to sleep?" Actions on the chest.

Dogs can't be eaten!Archer was so angry that he was so sleepy that his canines were all gaped: "Why can't you change it?! Next time, believe it or not, I'll cut your tail off!"

Qin Xiu stood up straight and stared, "How dare you!"

Archer gritted his canine teeth and squinted his eyes: "Why don't I dare? My tail is up to me!"

Qin Xiu had no choice but to close his mouth, pouted a few times in a strange manner, and leaned back on the back of the sofa to drink milk sullenly.

Archer stroked his tail and said, "Damn me, why didn't I think of this trick before, and I will have a way to deal with this guy in the future!"

Seeing that Qin Xiu didn't express anything just drinking milk, Archer yawned and said, "Then I'm going to sleep", pulled off the quilt and fell asleep. He still felt comfortable in the dog lying position when he fell asleep, but Qin Xiu was still standing here. Now, he must lie up straight.

After a while, I felt Qin Xiu lift his leg and kick the back of the sofa: "You only change for a few hours every day, so don't sleep when time is precious, chat with me."

The young dog lay back on his stomach wearily, hugging the pillow: "Well, tell me, I'll lie down and chat with you."

Qin Xiu folded his arms and leaned against the back of the sofa. From here, he could see the golden retriever doll hanging on the bed in the bedroom. He didn't remember how it got there. It was found in his luggage after the car accident. Doctor When it was given to him, there was a big tire mark on the little golden retriever, and it took him a long time to wash it off.It should have been a gift from his mother, or it might really be fate, that a lively golden retriever actually appeared in his life.Thinking about it, he glanced back at the curly-haired young man who was sleeping like a dog again, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Shen Che, did mother bring you to my side?Because I am too lonely, so let you accompany me?

"Shen Che, do you know why I don't regret not winning the gold medal at all?"

Archer rarely opened his eyes: "Why?" Is there any hidden reason?

"Pinch my tail and I'll tell you."

The young dog closed his eyes: "Forget it."

Qin Xiu stood condescendingly behind the sofa and pouted, stingy.

The mobile phone in the study rang, Qin Xiu went in and picked up the mobile phone, saw a strange number on it, frowned, from America?

The result of connecting the call was unexpected. The person on the other end of the phone asked in English, "Is this Mr. Qin Xiu?"

"I am," Qin Xiu was a little suspicious, "May I ask if you are..."

"Hello, Mr. Qin, I am the assistant of Mr. Higgins, the executive editor of "Great Heritage" magazine. We would like to ask if you would like to join the magazine's photography team and become our contracted photographer?"

Qin Xiu was stunned, and immediately thought of the reason: "...I am the second choice?"

The female assistant couldn't help laughing, although the tone was very surprised, and there was a sense of conceit in the wording, and she knew it was a young man: "Yes, Mr. Higgins and the judges like your work very much. If you If you join, you will become the first photographer from China in our team. Next year we will have several major topics, including global national park topics, great migration topics and Inca Empire topics, etc. In short, we look forward to your joining.”

Qin Xiu sat on the edge of the bed and tried his best to regain his senses. The gold medal winner died unexpectedly, and he was the second choice. At that moment, he even had the urge to rush out and punch Shen Che to celebrate.

"Mr. Qin?"

The other party's inquiry pulled back Qin Xiu's thoughts: "I'm sorry," he tried his best to suppress the excitement in his voice, "I didn't expect it at all, so it's a little..."

"It's okay," the female assistant said very understandingly, "Have you decided to join? Or do you need to think about it for a while? If you decide, we may still need to hand over some procedures..."

Qin Xiu listened to the other party politely, and after being excited, he has recovered his usual calmness: "Thank you, thank you for your invitation, but I'm afraid I won't have the chance to join this team."

There was a pat on the other end of the phone, and the tone was a little surprised: "May I know the reason?"

Qin Xiu got up and walked to the bedroom door, looked at the wheat-colored calf hanging on the sofa outside the door, and said calmly: "I still want to be an independent photographer."

Working with the world's top photography team, traveling around the world, flying around is my dream all through middle school and college, but if I achieve my dream, what will the guy do?

When I think of him staying at home alone, I don't know when I will come back. How sad that such a happy clingy ghost suddenly can't cling to people.

Shen Che, this is why I didn't win the gold medal, and I don't regret it at all.

The polar bear stood behind the sofa, looking down at the big golden retriever wrapped in clothes and sleeping soundly on the sofa with a cold face.

"You stupid thing, you don't understand your master's heart at all."

For a week after this, Archer always felt that Qin Xiu had something to say to him, but every time he seemed to hold back, his Bingshan face was often replaced by a distorted and tangled expression, which made people anxious of.

At lunch that day, Wang Ziqiong looked at his mobile phone while eating, and suddenly yelled "Ah", Archer and JENNY subconsciously leaned over to see what he saw. Wang Ziqiong wanted to cover it, but he didn't. Archer glanced All I saw on the screen of the phone was the news about who signed the contracted photographer of the "Great Legacy" photography competition.

Qin Xiu picked up the braised pork indifferently on the opposite side of the table: "What did you see so frightened? A snake or an earthworm?"

Archer and JENNY Wang Ziqiong looked at each other, and the three of them had just reached a tacit agreement and decided to keep the matter a secret, when they heard Wang Ziqiong's voice behind Wei Liang's classmate: "Wow, the contracted photographer of "The Great Legacy", is this the one who took the seat?" Whale?"

Wang Ziqiong wished he could put the lunch box on Wei Liang's face.And it's a blue whale!

But this is not over yet, Assistant Xiaoqiu, who looks like a twin brother to Wei Liang, adjusted his glasses and interjected: "That's him, I've read this news before, because the gold medal winner is gone, the contracted photographer The quota fell on him, tsk tsk, what luck!"

The little assistant didn't know about Qin Xiu's participation in the competition, so Archer quietly went to see Qin Xiu's reaction across the table.

Qin Xiu paused for picking the braised pork, the corners of his mouth curled up coldly, and continued to pick and eat.

Although they didn't raise their heads the whole time, the four of them were still shocked by that sneer.

There was no big order that afternoon, and the shooting was done by Wei Liang. Qin Xiu stood by the computer desk and looked down at a magazine. Archer saw Qin Xiu flipping over and over again, looking at the first few pages, scratching his head and scratching his head, wondering if he wanted to use it The theory of Chinese discrimination or the theory of China threat was used to comfort the other party. At this time, someone pushed the door in.

"Oh, so fast?" Qin Xiu just closed the magazine and turned around.

Archer turned his head and saw that the person who came was a tall and burly man, maybe because he was too tough, he looked a little bit old, he looked a lot older than Qin Xiu.Archer was wondering who this person was, when he saw the rough man laugh heartily twice, stepped forward and opened his arms... and hugged Qin Xiu? !

Archer's eyes widened. That was not a hug between men. Maybe it was because the rough man was too rough. Although Qin Xiu was as tall as the other party, he was slender after all. It felt like being rubbed into the man's arms!

But Qin Xiu actually hugged each other back, as if they were competing for strength, neither of them let go.

One minute passed, and the young dog stood behind the rough man with a vicious expression on his face. At this moment, the rough man suddenly said "Ouch" and shouted: "You win, you win! Let go!"

Only then did Qin Xiu let go of his hand, and the rough man rubbed his shoulders and complained: "Your shoulders are almost crushed by you. You have not lost your strength after all these years."

Qin Xiu smiled: "Of course." He stretched out his hand, "Long time no see, Sang Tian."

Sang Tian also stretched out his hand, and the two of them had a buddy's handshake, and they almost wrestled again.Sang Tian repeatedly pulled out his hand, shook his head and said, "I can't beat you", and looked back at Shen Che, whose expression finally returned to that of a golden retriever dog: "Is he your assistant? I found him very funny!" After speaking, suddenly He stepped forward and hugged Qin Xiu's shoulder again, and looked back at the assistant Wheat Roll behind him, "Oh! It's changed! Caucasian fighting dog!"

After Qin Xiu's introduction, everyone knew that this person was Qin Xiu's classmate at Yale, and what Qin Xiu had just read in a magazine was an advertisement for a Spanish clothing brand shot by Mr. Sang.When Qin Xiu introduced Sang Tian to everyone in the studio, Sang Tian was always in a state of approaching Qin Xiu at every turn: "Oh!! This time it's a Tibetan mastiff!"

"Haha! Pitbull, right?!"

"Come! Come and bite me!"

Archer was very angry in his heart. Although Mr. Sang and Mr. Qin looked like two extremes, but it really is... how do you say that?Congenial!one stone two bird!

Hearing that Sang Tian was going to join the studio team, JENNY and Wei Liang were very happy, only Wang Ziqiong looked at Qin Xiu in despair.Already renting the upstairs to expand the studio, Qin Xiu brought in a photographer at this juncture, and hired him with a high salary, so the expenses can be imagined.But Archer knew that the studio would definitely develop to this point. An Jiamian's 200 million investment was not in vain, and Wang Ziqiong's workshop operation would not work one day.

During the few days when the studio was being renovated, Qin Xiu made an appointment with an advertiser, introduced Sang Tian to the other party, and then discussed the photography plan together. After being so busy for several days, Archer was still a little puzzled when he followed the client. Qin Xiu had already put half of the work It's all handed over to Wei Liang, and it looks like he's going to hand over a few big orders to Sang Tian now.

When he went back at night, he asked Qin Xiu, "Have you made any big moves recently?"

"That's right," Qin Xiu walked out of the bedroom carrying a large suitcase, "We're going to America next week."

Archer opened his mouth wide and was stunned for ten seconds: "Why..."

"We're going to Yellowstone Park." Qin Xiu squatted down and opened the suitcase.

"Why?!" It was too sudden!

"Why are there so many?" Qin Xiu squatted on one knee, looked up at him impatiently, shrugged his shoulders, and said while packing his clothes, ""The Great Legacy" invited me to be their special photographer. There's a photography feature on national parks around the world."

Archer's eyes were almost bulging: "When did it happen? Why don't you say anything!"

"That's it." Qin Xiu lowered his head and folded his underwear aside, looked at the small space left by the underwear, and said calmly, "Bring your underwear."
