He's doing handicraft again

Chapter 23 Soft Pottery

On the second day after visiting the weekend market, which was Sunday, Jiang Xin and Xiao Yuan went out together again.

This time I went to Xia Jiao's house, in order to return the set of "Journey to the West" shadow puppets.

Jiang Xin learned from Xia Jiao that Xia Ma, as a housewife, was basically at home every day, so he didn't inform Xia Yao in advance, so he thought it would be good to return the shadow puppet to Xia Ma directly when he arrived at Xia Jiao's house.

Although this is not very polite, Jiang Xin is really a little afraid of seeing Xia Yao.

He also brought the lace coaster he made earlier as a thank you gift to Mama Xia.

When Jiang Xin asked Xiao Yuan for that set of shadow puppets, Xiao Yuan volunteered to go with Jiang Xin. His reason was very naive. The original words were like this - yesterday you accompanied me to the weekend market, today I will accompany you To return the shadow puppet, there is no debt to each other~

All in all, Jiang Xin had to stay with Xiao Yuan again today.

And according to Murphy's Law, the more Jiang Xin didn't want to meet Xia Yao, the more fate would let him meet him.



"Xiao Yuan, where did you go yesterday? The video on Moments is so romantic!" As soon as he entered Xia Jiao's house, Xiao Yuan was greeted by Xia Jiao.

"I went to the weekend market with Jiang Xin yesterday. After all, it was our first date since we were together. We must take some photos as a souvenir." Xiao Yuan smiled, thinking that his answer was perfect.

Hearing this answer, Jiang Xin immediately went to Moments, and saw that Xiao Yuan uploaded the short video he shot last night, and added the words "With the person you like, even if you do the most childish things, you still feel Full of joy."

Those words made Jiang Xin's hairs stand on end.

The conversation between Xia Jiao and Xiao Yuan is still going on.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you not only took the photo, but also passed it on to Moments." Xia Jiao sighed.

"Of course, it's the first date after all." Xiao Yuan said seriously.

"You don't know how many girls in our school have been heartbroken by this video of yours. The comment section has exploded, right?"

"No no."

Over there, the two of you came and went and chatted happily.

Jiang Xin didn't want to pay attention to those two idiots, and handed the box containing the shadow puppets to Xia Ma who was cleaning the house, Xia Ma waved her hand and said, "Xia Yao is in that storage room, just go over and give it to him. "

These words were like thunder on the ground to Jiang Xin.

He reluctantly took the box and walked towards the storage room. Xiao Yuan, who was chatting with Xia Jiao, glanced at Jiang Xin, realized something, ended the topic in a hurry, and followed him to lead him away. right hand, and said, "I will go with you."

Jiang Xin struggled for a while but did not move away, Xiao Yuan leaned close to Jiang Xin's right ear and explained in a low voice: "Now is the time when it is necessary, so be natural."

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Xin felt that it made sense, so he stopped struggling.

Walking to the door of the storage room, Xiao Yuan knocked on the door, and the door opened, and it happened to be an acquaintance who had met once—the girl he met in the "Shadow Puppet Forest" studio.

"Ah, it's you, your name is—." Xiao Yuan wanted to say his name, but the girl didn't introduce his name when he met last time, so Xiao Yuan had no choice but to turn his suspicious eyes to Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin is so helpless, he doesn't even know the girl's name, okay?

"Haha, stop flirting, my name is Li Yaomeng." The girl named Li Yaomeng broke the embarrassment between them and said with a smile, "Senior Xiao Yuan, the little video you posted on Moments yesterday The accompanying text has been posted to the university town forum, and everyone is guessing who is behind the video. Looking at it like this, it must be Jiang Xin."

After Li Yaomeng finished speaking, her eyes fell on Jiang Xin and Xiao Yuan's holding hands.

Jiang Xin didn't want to explain too much about this, so he changed the subject: "Is Teacher Xia there? I'll return the shadow puppet."

"I'm here." Xia Yao sat behind the desk, and after hearing Li Yaomeng's words, he logged into the University Town Forum and was silently reading that post, feeling sore.

As soon as Xia Yao made a sound, Xiao Yuan noticed that Jiang Xin's right hand held his left hand tightly.

Why is he so nervous?Xiao Yuan glanced at Xia Yao who was sitting behind the desk, did something happen that I don't know about?

Jiang Xin walked to the desk, put the shadow puppet on the desk and said, "Mr. Xia, I'm here to return the shadow puppet. Thank you for lending it to me."

"Don't be so polite, I can only lend it to you, I wish for it." Xia Yao looked up and saw Jiang Xin and Xiao Yuan holding hands, making him even more sour.

Jiang Xin remained silent, Xiao Yuan picked up the conversation: "Mr. Xia, don't thank you for your kindness, Jiang Xin and I will leave first."

"Wait a minute." Li Yaomeng stopped them and said, "There are some old artists performing shadow puppetry in the city library today, Jiang Xin, aren't you very interested in shadow puppetry? If you have time later, you can go and see it together. "

"I..." Jiang Xin was indeed interested, but he didn't really want to be in the same room with Xia Yao.

"Please, please, just take it as a chance to win the head. It is rare for old artists to get together to perform a shadow puppet show. If there are not many audiences, it will be a big blow to them." Li Yaomeng clasped her hands together.

"Then go and have a look." Xiao Yuan made the decision, "Jiang Xin is of course interested in shadow puppetry. I remember when I went back to your studio last time, he really stayed in the audio-visual room and refused to come out. He might be afraid of me if he hesitated just now. It will be boring."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan looked at Jiang Xin affectionately and said, "As long as I'm with you, I feel happy in whatever I do."

Jiang Xin almost vomited.

"That's great!" Li Yaomeng turned to Xia Yao again, "Mr. Xia, how about you? Do you still want to go?"

Say don't go, don't go... Jiang Xin said silently in his heart.

"Of course I'll go, it's just fine, I can still take you there." After Xia Yao swallowed a ton of lemons, he could still put on a decent and dignified expression on his face.

That's not what you said just now, Li Yaomeng cursed.However, the more people there are, the better, and they can still ride cars, why not do it, so as not to expose Teacher Xia's inconsistent rhetoric.

Before leaving Xia's house, Jiang Xin gave Xia's mother a lace coaster.



Xia Yao drove, Jiang Xin and Xiao Yuan sat in the back seat, and Li Yaomeng sat in the co-pilot.

"Mr. Xia, the pendant on your car key is so cute. Is this Q-version villain Mr. Xia yourself? It looks so resembling, is it a gift from someone who likes you?" Li Yaomeng saw Xia Yao's car keys, with a pleasant expression on his face, as if Columbus discovered the New World.

"I also hope that it is given by someone who likes me, but it is a pity that it is given by someone I like." Xia Yao said while staring at the pendant affectionately, rubbing it slowly with his hands.

"It's a pity!" Xiao Yuan heard this sentence, thinking that Xia Yao must have done something behind his back to scare Jiang Xin, and he must frustrate his spirit, he sighed and said quietly , "Mr. Xia, the person you like has already liked someone else."

"Who is that person? Senior Xiao Yuan, how did you know?" Li Yaomeng's curiosity reached its peak.

Xiao Yuan's face was unpredictable, Jiang Xin and Xia Yao didn't want to answer, Li Yaomeng could only scratch his head.

Jiang Xin began to question Xiao Yuan on WeChat.

Jiang Xin: Why did you post last night's short video on Moments?

Xiao Yuanzi: Didn't I say it at Xia Jiao's house, commemorating the first date.

Jiang Xin: Isn't it for the labor skills class to inspect?We are not a couple, why would we date!

Xiaoyuanzi: Even if it's fake, you have to do a full set of acting. How can there be a couple who doesn't show their affection in the circle of friends?

Jiang Xin: Do all the couples on your WeChat show their affection in Moments?

Xiaoyuanzi: That's not true, but it's my first love, so can't I show it off?

Jiang Xin: ...

Xiaoyuanzi: Don't be angry, you didn't appear on the scene, people only know that I am in love, but they don't know who the partner is.The only ones who knew were my roommate and Xia Yao.Oh, now there is an extra Li Yaomeng.

Jiang Xin: ...

Xiaoyuanzi: If you really mind that much, I will delete that little video, but I think it feels a bit like there is no silver 300 taels here.

Jiang Xin: Whatever you want.

Mariko: Thank you for being so magnanimous!Then I will not delete it.By the way, I think I'm more handsome after you shoot like this.

Jiang Xin: ...

"The library is here." Xia Yao said in a cold tone, signaling them to get out of the car and find a parking space by themselves.

Along the way, he observed the expressions of Jiang Xin and Xiao Yuan through the rear window, and he could clearly see that they were chatting on their mobile phones.So is this in love?I don't even want to waste such a little time in the car.And how crappy would their conversations be, not directly to someone else but over a cell phone?

Xia Yao felt that he was about to have a heart attack.

After Li Yaomeng asked that question and no one answered it, the atmosphere in the car was awkward for a while, so she just lowered her head and played with her mobile phone silently, so she didn't feel the resentment emanating from Xia Yao.

Of course, Xiao Yuan, who was immersed in chatting, and Jiang Xin, who was immersed in questioning, didn't feel it either.



In the live broadcast at night, Jiang Xin was inspired by the old artist's shadow puppet play "The Legend of Yue Fei", and he wanted to create a three-dimensional Yue Fei.

As for the material, use soft clay.Although ultra-light soil is more convenient, the color of ultra-light soil will turn gray after drying, so it is more suitable to use soft clay with more colorful colors.

Jiang Xin first made the skeleton with aluminum wire, and then slowly paved the skeleton with flesh-colored soft clay. After each part was laid, Jiang Xin blew it with a hot air gun until it was initially hardened, and then pinched another part.It stands to reason that the character should be kneaded and then baked in an oven, but Jiang Xin lacked an oven, so he had to use a hot air gun to blow the shape a little bit.

After pinching out the human figure, putting on the costume and hair, the last step is to draw the facial features.

Jiang Xin held his breath and drew little by little with the Langhao brush, for fear that the line would be distorted when he exhaled.Fortunately, it was perfect until the last stroke.

He silently gave himself a like in his heart, and looked at the fan list before turning off the live broadcast, "Xiao Yuanzi" still topped the list, but the difference is that he is no longer No. 2 and No. 1235 Order of magnitude, there is a fan named "sdjio[-]" who is chasing "Xiao Yuanzi" closely.

After the live broadcast ended, Jiang Xin saw a message alert on his phone and found that it was sent by Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuanzi: Jiang Xin, did you say that 'Jiang Shui' also went to see that shadow puppet show?How could he pinch Yue Fei by such a coincidence?

Jiang Xin didn't want to talk to him.

The author has something to say:

Xia Yao: Why am I so miserable?

The previous 34 boyfriends: Hehe, retribution.
