Of course, this painting that had been auctioned for billions of dollars still had no name, and it was deeply despised by its owner. Su Qingjia asked Carlos to bring the painting back by himself.
Carlos: Don't mind me. I want to be quiet. Don't ask me who I am.
Draw: o()o Blame me?
After putting away the painting, he walked forward and came to the end of the Rambla. There stood a statue, and the entire square was named after him.
Colombo, the greatest tramp of the century.
Five hundred years ago, he believed that the earth was round. He had wandered all the way from Italy in search of sailing assistance. The statue was built to commemorate the four-time trans-Atlantic explorer, and it was 60 meters tall. His finger pointed to the sea, extending all the way to the direction of the new continent he had discovered.
"Carlos, do you know this sculpture?”Su Qingjia asked the young man, who had been in a low mood since leaving the painter's place. She could feel that he was in a bad mood, but forgive this young man's cold face. Su Qingjia did not know why he was in a bad mood.
Carlos bit his lower lip and hesitated for a while before saying,"" Yes, he's Colombus. He discovered the New World with the help of the Spanish royal family.”He thought about it and added," Everyone in Barcelona knows.”
"At that time, he firmly believed that the earth was round. No one believed that he could succeed, but he did it in the end.”Su Qingjia had seen how hard Carlos had worked over the past few days." Before Colombus came to Spain, he was so poor that he had no money, but he discovered the New World.”
She was encouraging him, and Carlos understood what she meant.
" The first three times, Colombus failed, but he only needed to succeed once. He raised the funds and started his fourth voyage. With the experience of the first three times as a foundation, he succeeded this time. The hardships of life were the cornerstone of growth. All these difficulties and hardships, as long as they didn't knock you down, would add a weight to your success.”Su Qingjia turned to look at him." Carlos, you're the best." Thomas had failed so many times, and you only failed once. What are you afraid of?”
Behind her was the vast ocean, and seagulls took off and landed around her. The wet wind blew her black hair, and her eyes were glazed.
At that time, the sunlight was alluring.
He seemed to have found a reason to never give up.
"I will definitely succeed!" Carlos shouted at her."Ah-ah-ah-"
Su Qingjia was also infected. He turned around and shouted at the sea,""Ah-ah-"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Then, they would chase and play around in Colombo Square. They would also ask for food from passersby and feed the seagulls.
Before he knew it, the sun had already set. Carlos sent Su Qingjia home and handed her the flowers and herbs he was carrying.
Su Qingjia sniffed the slightly withered flowers. Yes, they were still very fragrant and did not affect the effect of the medicine.
Back in the dorm, Carlos took out the sketch from his pocket. Although he was not satisfied with the final destination of the sketch, he carefully spread the paper out, picked up two thick books, and put them in the box beside his bed.
There was also a brand new football and a cup with a red flag.
*
On this day, Su Qingjia was in her bedroom fiddling with the flowers and herbs she had bought more than twenty days ago. She had already ground them into powder, dried them, and steamed them. Then, she gathered other things she needed, such as rose essential oil. Her cream had already been made. What was worthy of praise was that she had bought three sets of them and did not waste any of them.
The cream needed to be left alone for half a month. Today was the day to test the results.
Su Qingjia was so excited that he almost burst out with a northeastern accent.
She opened the small box with golden peony patterns. She had brought the box from China. At that time, she did not think about what to put in it. It was purely beautiful. She brought about ten boxes in a row and placed them in the dressing box that accompanied her.
Inside the small box was a pink transparent cream, with a sweet and long unique fragrance. It was crystal clear. Su Qingjia stretched out his index finger to feel it. It felt very warm, like flowing water, and had a solid shape, but there was no greasy blockage.
She quickly picked a little and wiped it on the back of her hand. Her hand was delicate and white, and because of the heat, the cream melted bit by bit. After Su Qingjia carefully wiped it evenly, she brought her hand closer to her eyes. Her originally fair hand was now almost invisible, and the back of her hand was smooth and tender, as if it was comfortable in water.
Success! Her efforts over the past few days had not been in vain. She had even begged Su Jingkang to buy her a set of necessary equipment for her chemistry experiment.
Su Qingjia couldn't help but want to test the effect. She went into the bathroom to take a bath, wiped herself clean, and applied some cream.
Mmm, it's really awesome. It smells nice on me too! It was simply awesome! It seemed that he could also make the other recipes together.
After putting on her clothes, Su Qingjia looked at the time. It was already half past two. She usually went to the orphanage at two o'clock, and Carlos would wait for her at the bus stop.
She ran down the stairs in quick steps. Su Qingjia was putting on his shoes when Ming Ling walked over. She was a little puzzled."Bella, it's raining today. Do you still want to go out and practice with Carlos?”
Ming Ling liked Carlos. Although she had never met him before, she could hear her daughter's fluent Spanish. Ming Ling felt that this little boy was quite good. She heard from her daughter that he was also very beautiful.
Su Qingjia kept the windows closed in the room and even drew the curtains, so he didn't hear the rain. Hearing Ming Ling's words, he ran to the French window." It's really raining."”
The Mediterranean climate was unpredictable. It had been drizzling in the morning before, but it was basically gone in the afternoon. Sometimes, it would be sunny for a few days in a row.
Su Qingjia thought about it and found an umbrella. He put on his rain boots and went out. He waved the umbrella in front of Ming Ling and said,"Beautiful lady, I'm going out for a while.”
Ming Ling shrugged and went to the piano room to play.
In the dry and hot summer, rain was what many people yearned for, but Su Qingjia did not want it. She got out of the car, held up an umbrella, wiped her eyes that were wet from the rain, and searched through the water screen.
Carlos stayed where he always liked to stand and watched the cars coming and going. There was no shelter in that area. Carlos stood there quietly like a traffic light.
Su Qingjia quickly ran over. The rain splashed onto her pants." Carlos, why didn't you take shelter from the rain? Look at you. If you get drenched, you'll catch a cold, do you know that?”Su Qingjia was glad that she had brought a big umbrella with her when she went out. It was not as beautiful as her private umbrella, but it could cover the two of them well.
Carlos was covered in water, and Su Qingjia could see the water flowing down from his calf outside his pants. His long eyelashes had become a gathering place for water droplets, but his eyes were shining.
"I'm in good health. I won't catch a cold.”Carlos said, but Su Qingjia could hear the stubborn tone in his voice.
"It's raining so heavily. Don't you know to stand to the side? Hurry up and wipe your face. Your face looks like a duck.”Su Qingjia took out a tissue from her backpack and gave it to him.
Carlos took the tissue and said,"Thank you."”She added," I'm afraid that if I don't stand there, you won't be able to see me.”
Su Qingjia wanted to scold him for being stupid, but the words turned on the tip of his tongue and returned to his stomach.
His gaze was too sincere. His blue-gray eyes were almost filled with her figure. She suddenly felt that this youth really made her heart ache.
Growing up in an orphanage, he was so lonely that no one could enter his world. He used indifference as a coat to resist the coldness that outsiders gave him. He was like an eternally desolate ice field, unable to grow warm flowers.
He didn't dare to look forward to it. He was afraid of the loneliness of licking his wounds alone without anyone to ask after it broke.
What did she do to deserve this young man's most sincere friendship?
On the way here, Su Qingjia thought that Carlos probably wouldn't be practicing today, but she still felt uneasy. After thinking about it, she came over to take a look.
She was right to come. If she hadn't come, she didn't know how long Carlos would have stayed here today.
She held an umbrella and went back to the orphanage with Carlos." You're so wet. Hurry up and go back to take a shower and change your clothes.”Her voice was a little muffled and nasal.
Carlos suddenly felt that his body was not cold at all. Although he had been in the rain for nearly an hour, he had thought of moving to the side to hide from the rain or going back to the dormitory to get an umbrella, but he gave up in the end. He knew that the possibility of Bella coming was very small, but he did not want to know what to do if she came but could not find him.
However, Bella still came.
Carlos didn't like to go through the front gate of the orphanage, so they went around the small field.
The can used for practice was filled with rainwater, and the old football was baptized in the sand pit. Su Qingjia had an idea in her heart. The discomfort in her heart drove her to act before she could think clearly.
She ran over, picked up the can, and placed it on the goal. She shouted at Carlos,""Carlos, use your ball and knock it down!”
Carlos nodded. His golden hair was completely wet, and it was a puddle of water. He walked to the sandpit and placed the football on the track. The distance was very far, and the water curtain blocked his line of sight.
He forced himself to open his eyes wide and look for the right angle and strength.
"Good luck! Carlos! Good luck! Carlos! Good luck!" Su Qingjia waved at him.
Then, Su Qingjia heard the sound of cans falling to the ground. Ding, ding, kuang, kuang, it was very clear.
The football rolled far away. Su Qingjia was completely dumbfounded. He ran over to hold an umbrella for Carlos, his big eyes full of admiration. He looked at Carlos and said,""You're really amazing and accurate!”
This time, Carlos didn't need Su Qingjia's help to show a bright smile. He gave this smile to Su Qingjia.
Back at the dormitory, Su Qingjia smiled sweetly as she watched him walk in.
The young man began to grow taller. Su Qingjia thought that she should find him a professional football coach. He was really talented and should not be buried.
It was time for her, an amateur sparring partner, to leave.
