If you take classes, what money can you have? "

The grandma asked: "Didn't you have that kind of loan? The state also gave you a subsidy. I gave you another [-] before, and you used it up?"

"My tuition is only fifteen thousand..."

"Then you can't do without studying that book?" Grandma interrupted impatiently, "So what if you finish reading? How much money can you earn as a woman?"

She has discussed this topic with grandma countless times, and every time it ended with grandma's slap, Jian Luyao no longer wanted to quarrel.

She said: "I really don't have any money, and I must continue to read the book. Even if I die, I will finish reading."

Grandma frowned and looked at her sullenly.

Jian Luyao stubbornly pursed her lips, her eyes were full of determination and extremeness.It was like the night when she got the college notice, her head was covered with blood, she was dying, and she refused to give in.

Chapter 8

Jian Luyao paid her [-] yuan for her studies with her life.Perhaps her character is born with the gene of madness, just like her father who is going crazy now.

Grandma refused to let her go to school, and asked Jian Luyao to work part-time to earn money to support her father who lived in a mental hospital, and to save the down payment for her ineffective brother to buy a house.

Jian Luyao disagreed, and she wanted to take the 2 yuan left by her mother to go to the city to learn painting.So she and her grandma broke out in an unprecedented huge quarrel. Even though Jian Luyao's teeth were slapped loose, she didn't let go. She wanted to hit the wall and commit suicide.

On the stone wall of the yard, her grandma was pointing at her and cursing in the yard, and she knelt under the wall, banging head after head against the wall.

The neighbors were alarmed, and couldn't persuade the family conflicts, so they had to go to the village secretary.

The secretary had a little distant relationship with their family, and together with the kind neighbors persuaded grandma in the middle of the night, she finally spit out the money that was originally left for Jian Luyao under the pressure of many parties.

But now, grandma wants her to return the 2 yuan because the family has no money to pay for the mental hospital for her father.

The money my father earned when he was young was either spent on the poker table or on Jian Luyao’s younger brother, Jian Luxing, and most of the 20 yuan in compensation for work-related injuries was squandered by his father. Give Jian Luxing to be unrestrained.

My father started to have mental problems four years ago. Maybe this disease appeared earlier, but it was rationally explained by the violent temper and alcohol.

His father was admitted to a mental hospital, and Jian Luxing was working part-time in the city. Except when he asked for money, there was no news.And Jian Luyao became an outlet for grandma to vent her life grievances.

It seemed that it was all her fault that the family became like this.

She was born wrong, lived wrong, standing at home, it was all wrong.

Grandma pointed to her father and said, "Your father looks like this. Someone at home has to watch over him. But I still have to work, and there are so many chickens and ducks. Your brother is eighteen this year and has a girlfriend. I have to give him the money to buy a house... There are places where money is used everywhere in the house, what useless books are you still reading? You dropped out of school and came back to help! How much can you sell those shit things?"

Jian Luyao wanted to refute that she already sold a painting for 8000 yuan, but she dared not say it, because she was afraid that grandma would ask her for the 8000 yuan right away.

She squeezed her palms and said, "Lu Xingcai, he will have to wait for several years before he can get married. I don't ask you for money, Lu Xing also has a job, and there is nothing in the family that needs to spend a lot of money. You are getting older, so you can't afford less. Some food, take good care of my dad?"

"What are you talking about? You just don't want to care about your father's life, do you?" Grandma said harshly, "Jian Luyao, do you have a conscience? Is it so easy for us to raise you? We gave you your life. It's only natural that you come back to help!"

Jian Luyao didn't want to argue anymore, she turned her head and said, "I won't drop out of school."

Grandma grabbed a broom and hit Jian Luyao head-on: "Unworthy bastard! I should have let you die by the wall that day! Don't ask me for 2 yuan!"

The father clapped his hands excitedly at the side: "Bitch!"

Jian Luyao endured her grandma's slap, she still said the same thing: "If you beat me to death, I will still give the same answer."

Grandma kicked her angrily, but Jian Luyao dodged it. She missed her kick and fell down with an ouch. Jian Luyao reached out to pull her, but was slapped heavily.

"Bitch! It's all your fault! If you were a son, you would be able to earn money by now! But you are a loser! You are an eyesore."

Jian Luyao silently pulled her up, and then walked directly to the bedroom in the corner of the side room.

Grandma was still swearing and swearing at the back, Jian Luyao listened numbly, and locked her bedroom door.

No one lived in it for half a year, and the room smelled musty. Jian Luyao sat on the old-fashioned wooden bed, bit her lips tightly, and resisted the desire to cry.

Tears overflowed layer by layer, her eyelashes trembled, and a line of tears rolled down.Jian Luyao bit her lip tightly, stared at a certain point in the air, and cried silently.

She sat in the bedroom until it was dark, the sound of grandma and father having dinner came from the main room, father was swearing out of tune, and grandma would reply him with a swear word from time to time.

Jian Luyao listened to them finish their meal, and then grandma came over and shouted through the door: "Jian Luyao, come out and wash the dishes!"

Jian Luyao took a deep breath, opened the door calmly, and went out to wash the dishes.

There is no extra leftovers at home, and even the fruit she bought has not been received by grandma.Finally, Jian Luyao boiled some hot water and drank it, then went to bed with an empty stomach.

At dawn tomorrow, she will go and get the proof done, and then leave here.

Thinking of this, Jian Luyao lay down in the bed covered with dust and moisture, and was stunned for a while before she felt in the mood to look at her phone.

Another email was sent from the exhibition, saying that the exhibition has ended, her painting has completed the transaction, and the money will be remitted within a week.

Jian Luyao looked at her bank card balance, she still has more than 8 yuan, if she squeezes it hard, she can give 2 yuan to her grandma.But once this kind of thing starts, it will never stop.

In the future, grandma will only try her best to squeeze every penny out of Jian Luyao until she dies.

And grandma didn't really have no money, she was stingy all her life, no matter how she had a deposit, the legacy left by her mother before her death was not only [-].

The family hadn't reached the point where it couldn't hold on, but on the other hand, Jian Luyao was cowardly and soft-hearted, and a kind of uncontrollable self-blame and guilt sprouted in her heart.She felt that the situation at home had something to do with her leaving everything behind to go to school.

Will she give that money?

This question made Jian Luyao sleepless all night.

**

As soon as Du Jiangjin got the painting, he took it to Song Dan's house, saying it was a little surprise for her.

Song Dan guessed at a glance: "Painting?"

Du Jiangjin also studied painting before, he was traditional Chinese painting.Du Jiangjin's grandfather is a well-known master of traditional Chinese painting in China. His parents are in the antique and calligraphy and painting business, and they are also masters of calligraphy.

"Yes, but I didn't draw it." Du Jiangjin blinked mysteriously and said, "It's a surprise anyway, take a look!"

Song Dan had no choice but to open the package, revealing the gloomy oil painting.

She stared at it for a few seconds and said with a smile, "Whose painting? It's very interesting."

Du Jiangjin leaned over, gestured at the drawing and asked, "Didn't you see something?"

Song Dan smiled and said, "There is a woman's back here."

"En." Du Jiangjin nodded, "What else?"

Song Dan watched it carefully for a while, then asked softly, "What else?"

Du Jiangjin said directly: "Look at the author's signature on the back."

Song Dan turned the painting over and saw a Chinese character on the back - Jane.

She has a meal.

"Look at this back again, does it look familiar?" Du Jiangjin drew the outline of that back with his fingers, and said the answer by himself, "She painted you! Feel the suppressed emotions in this painting, that girl is I really like you!"

Song Dan looked at the painting, but didn't answer.

Du Jiangjin sat crookedly on the sofa, his thin body was framed by a thin white shirt, and he was extraordinarily delicate. He curled his long hair on his chest and said, "At our age, it's not easy to meet love, Dan Dan, Do you want to give it a try? I think that little wild cat is pretty good, and the painting is also good."

Song Dan gently put down the painting and said, "We are all at this age, why are we still talking about love? It's a game only children can afford."

Most adults live in ego and pickiness. Falling in love with others not only means that you have to spend a lot of time and energy for it, but also make room for your own living space.But in this world, how can there be so many willing compromises.

Once or twice can still be tolerated, but after a few more times, I can't help asking in my heart, what are you?What kind of shit is this to make me feel wronged again and again?

Du Jiangjin said indifferently: "Isn't that Jane just a child? I see her eyes are sincere, she is a good child, you will not suffer when you are with her. She also has long legs!"

Song Dan thought of the care and emotion in her clean eyes that day in the hospital, she was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, "I'm already at this age, I can't talk about love anymore. Just dealing with Song Yanlu every day exhausted my energy .”

Du Jiangjin glanced upstairs: "Has he been quiet these days?"

Song Dan shook his head without a word.Ever since she forbade Song Yanlu to go out casually, the mother and son quarreled a little every day, and quarreled a lot every two days, the ceiling almost fell down.

Du Jiangjin said: "You'd better let him go out to play by himself, at this age, he can't vent his anger, he has to hold back."

Song Dan sighed with a headache, family matters are the most difficult.No matter how you deal with it, it's wrong.

After sitting for a while, Du Jiangjin left.

Song Dan picked up the painting, and after looking at it for a long time, she still sent a message to her assistant, asking her if she had kept the photo of the note taken at the hotel that day.

The assistant was careful and thoughtful, and immediately sent it to Song Dan.

Song Dan input Jian Luyao's phone number into the dial pad, and the next second she dialed, she regretted and immediately hung up.

She looked at the painting with strong emotions but too gloomy, and finally called her aunt and put the painting in the utility room.

"Hey, good." Auntie took the painting and left.

Song Dan looked at his aunt's back, and added: "Pack it in a separate cardboard box, be careful not to get it dirty."

"Hey."

Chapter 9

Jian Luyao almost didn't sleep all night. She waited until the cadres in the village and town were about to go to work. After getting up, she didn't even wash her face and went straight away.

As soon as she came out of the gate, she saw her father squatting in the yard to go to the toilet, looking up at Jian Luyao viciously.

Jian Luyao stepped back, avoiding her sight.

Grandma came back from the field with a dustpan, and when she saw the situation in the yard, she yelled, "Oh, you god damn it! You're shitting in the yard again!"

Father scolded at grandma: "You bastard!"

Grandma threw a dustpan on her father: "Crazy!"

The father lifted his pants and said to grandma again: "My day is your mother."

The grandma said angrily: "You who are at the top of the grave, go to the sun! God damn it, you have committed crimes!"

She walked into the room cursing, and when she saw Jian Luyao, she immediately instructed, "Jian Luyao, go and sweep away your father's things!"

Jian Luyao said calmly: "I'm going out for a while, I won't come back for lunch, I'll go directly to school."

"Are you leaving now?" Grandma said in a rough voice, "Then what are you doing when you come back? Sleeping in the head of the house for nothing, do you think I am a hotel here?"

Jian Luyao pretended not to hear, and continued walking.

Grandma grabbed her: "Jian Luyao, I'm talking to you! You can leave if you want, and return the 2 yuan to me!"

Jian Luyao clenched her teeth. Her father stood in the yard, staring at her fiercely for no reason. Jian Luyao felt that this family was terrifying.

"I have no money," she said.

Grandma yelled: "If you don't have any money, go and sell blood for me! Look at your father, he is so crazy, you don't have to stay at home to take care of him, don't you even take money? We have raised you for so many years, just You can even sell a dog for 200 yuan!"

Jian Luyao was speechless, in the eyes of her grandma, she was worse than a dog.

"Anyway, let me tell you, if you don't take the money out, don't even think about going out of this door!" Grandma dragged Jian Luyao into the gray room.

Jian Luyao lowered her eyes, and said the same sentence: "I have no money."

"Then give me your loan and stipend!" Grandma ordered arbitrarily, "Jian Luyao, this is what you should! If you don't take the money, something will happen to your father, and it will be your fault! "

Jian Luyao looked at her father, he still stared at Jian Luyao fiercely, and scolded a bitch.

Jian Luyao looked away, feeling mocked.

"He's your father! What's wrong with raising you and scolding you?" Grandma said, "And he's crazy now, shouldn't you take the money?"

Jian Luyao closed her eyes, and said dejectedly: "Okay, my stipend is three thousand, and I'll give it all to you when it's over."

"Three thousand?" Grandma pulled Jian Luyao and screamed, "I gave you [-] at the beginning! Didn't you say that your tuition fee was [-]? It's just [-], give it to me now! If you can’t take it out, don’t even think about leaving!”

Grandma's viciousness, and her father's vicious eyes made Jian Luyao return to her childhood in a trance.The slavishness and fear that had been planted in her bones since childhood eventually took hold of her.

With red eyes, she choked up and said, "Okay."

Grandma was satisfied, and she pulled Jian Luyao away: "Go to the street to transfer the money for me now."

Jian Luyao struggled and said: "I don't have that much money now, and the grants and loans haven't arrived yet..."

Grandma's expression is hard, and she is about to get angry.

Jian Luyao immediately said, "I'll ask my classmates to borrow..."

Grandma said impatiently: "Then why don't you hurry up and order! Don't you still have to go to school? Transfer the money away!"

Jian Luyao went to the side to make a phone call with Li Yunshan. She thought she would spend a lot of time with Li Yunshan, but Li Yunshan agreed quickly, but before hanging up the phone, she threatened in a harsh voice: "Within a week, you won't Also, I will disclose to the whole school that you are gay!"

Li Yunshan hung up the phone, and Jian Luyao sent her grandma's bank card number, asking her to transfer it directly to grandma's account.

After her grandma and neighbors repeatedly confirmed the transfer text messages twice, she finally let Jian Luyao go.

Before Jian Luyao left, she heard her read a sentence: "Your classmate is really rich..."

Jian Luyao finished stamping the application form, took the bus from the town to the station in the county, and then took the last bus to the city.

Halfway through the journey, it was already dark.

Jian Luyao leaned on the car seat, looking at the passing and reappearing street lights outside the window, her heart was cold and gloomy.

Will she be so lonely and helpless forever in her life journey?

Will she be like this forever?

Live alone, die alone, and face all the misfortunes and bitterness in life alone.

Jian Luyao closed her eyes and stopped looking at those blurred lights.

The answer couldn't be more clear.

she will.

After arriving at the station, there was no bus going to school. Jian Luyao went out from the station with a shoulder bag on her shoulders. A group of aunts holding a sign of a small hotel surrounded her and asked Jian Luyao repeatedly: "Do you want to stay in a hotel? Sister, stay here!" No hotel?"

With a cold face, Jian Luyao walked past the aunt who was soliciting passengers, and then the black car driver uncle, and walked out of the station.

She wanted to take a random bus, go to a certain street, and find a hotel to stay.

But all public cars were out of service, and she waited for a few minutes, but there was not even a taxi.

Nothing went well, and her mood became worse and worse, so she simply stood under the bus stop, doing nothing, just standing, looking at the empty streets, private cars passing by occasionally...

The mobile phone in the bag suddenly rang at this moment, but Jian Luyao didn't want to answer it.

She couldn't think of anyone who would call to care about her at this time, most likely it was the wrong person.

After the phone rang once, it fell silent.

Jian Luyao stood at the bus station all night, took the first bus back to school the next day, fell asleep after arriving at the dormitory, and slept in the dark until the afternoon, awakened by the smell of Li Yunshan eating fried chicken.

She remembered that she hadn't eaten for almost two days.

Sitting up dizzy and dizzy, she stared at the chicken wings wrapped in sauce in Li Yunshan's takeaway with green eyes.

Li Yunshan was frightened: "What are you doing?"

Jian Luyao said hoarsely: "I haven't eaten for two days..."

Li Yunshan: "..."

She clicked her tongue and pushed the takeaway over for Jian Luyao to eat.

Jian Luyao wolfed it down, drank a large glass of water, and burped in satisfaction.

Li Yunshan propped her chin and said arrogantly: "Tell me, you have been back for two days, how did your family abuse you?"

Jian Luyao calmed down: "How do you know that my family abused me?"

Li Yunshan looked at the mentally handicapped expression: "You have slap marks on your face, and you never asked me to borrow money before, and suddenly asked me for [-]."

Jian Luyao turned her head and stared at the ground.

Li Yunshan kicked her stool, and asked curiously: "Tell me, what did your family do to you? Why did they beat you and ask you for money, and didn't give you food? Orphanages are not so vicious." Bar."

Jian Luyao whispered: "Maybe in their eyes, I'm just a dog."

Li Yunshan looked at her for a while, but said nothing.

Jian Luyao returned to her desk and took out her mobile phone to check the time. There was a missed call and an unfamiliar number on the page. Jian Luyao crossed out the notification, and then entered the social software one by one. Except for news and push notifications, there was no other news.

She stared at the clean page, and after a few seconds, she turned off her phone.

She slept so hard during the day that she couldn't sleep at night, playing with her phone boredly, and remembered that strange number again.

Jian Luyao looked carefully at the local number.

She suddenly wondered if it was Song Dan calling, but the next second she mocked herself and denied it.

It has been almost two months since she and Song Dan settled the money and goods, and Song Dan deleted her WeChat, so how could he call her again?

A person like Song Dan would not do such a humble thing.There is no reason.

Although she knew it, Jian Luyao couldn't help but fantasize about how wonderful it would be if it was really her.

She misses Song Dan's warm embrace, her fingertips gently stroking, and those... moist, lingering kisses.

……

Tossed and turned all night.

**

That phone call was actually made by Song Dan.

Song Dan didn't want to contact Jian Luyao at first. On the one hand, it was because she deleted the family and contacted her again. It would make her look hungry/thirsty, and she couldn't find anyone. On the other hand, she really didn't want to go too deep. contact with Jian Luyao.

As for the reason for the latter aspect, Song Dan couldn't say it himself.Afraid of getting into trouble, it can't be said, after all, with her family background, most people can't handle her, but she just has an inexplicable subconscious avoidance.

Such complicated emotions made her never forget Jian Luyao, a little brat who had been exposed all night.Sometimes Song Dan thinks of it to himself and finds it a little funny.

She is old enough to be troubled by such things.

The event that prompted her to make that phone call was that she went to see a little girl to learn acting.He looks clean, has big watery eyes, has a cute personality, like a lark, has a clear and lively voice, and is especially good at acting coquettishly.

When Song Dan got along with her, she didn't need to introduce any topics, she could chat happily by herself, but she felt that it was too noisy, and that girl was impatient, and she was eager to ask Song Dan for it.

She is bored.

After dinner, Song Dan didn't even ask for contact information.

Sitting in the car, he called Jian Luyao impulsively, but Jian Luyao didn't answer.

After the 1-minute dial tone ended, Song Dan laughed to herself, and then deleted the call record and the picture of the chat record between her and the assistant.

After dawn, everything returned to silence.

Li Yunshan urged Jian Luyao to pay back the fifteen thousand the next day.

Looking at the rapidly depleted balance, Jian Luyao felt a little helpless to paint every day with peace of mind. She wanted to do some part-time jobs, but she couldn't find those part-time jobs related to painting, and she was afraid of being tricked, so she did ordinary jobs. , she felt it was a waste of time.

It's her junior year at the beginning of school, and she hasn't practiced her basic skills yet.Half of the reason why she was admitted to the school was because of her good academic performance, and the other half was probably because of her good luck.

People who are unlucky all their lives can also have shit luck once, Jian Luyao still thinks that she is quite lucky after thinking about it.

When she calmed down and was about to continue practicing basic skills and wait for the school to start, she received a call.

Chapter 10

The call came from Du Jiangjin, the buyer of her pair of "Gone with the Wind", asking if she had time to help his friend paint an oil painting. The price is negotiable, as long as the quality is good.

Jian Luyao was stunned by the pie that suddenly fell from the sky, and asked Du Jiangjin twice in a row, is it true?

Du Jiangjin laughed, and his tone was softer than girls: "Of course it is true. Let's meet and talk. I know you are from XX Academy of Fine Arts. I will drive over to find you. You can book a place and send me a text message."

Jian Luyao was stunned for half a minute, then immediately packed her things and went back to the dormitory to change her clothes.She set the location at a coffee shop and went there first to wait.

Before going out, Jian Luyao put on concealer to cover the slap marks on her face where traces could still be faintly seen.

Du Jiangjin was wearing a dark pink shirt and a ponytail. He thought it was a tall girl at first glance.His skin is also fair, and his smile is sweet and soft, with a bit of indescribable gentleness and elegance.

Jian Luyao feels that his gender is very vague, like a girl and a boy.

But this was just a thought that flashed in her mind, she stood up cautiously and called out: "Mr. Du."

"Sit down, you don't need to look out like this." Du Jiangjin said kindly and enthusiastically, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just arrived too." In fact, Jian Luyao had been waiting for almost half an hour.

Du Jiangjin chatted with her a few words about "Gone with the Wind", he mentioned the figure in the painting, and asked Jian Luyao who painted it.

Jian Luyao replied, "It's my deceased mother."

Du Jiangjin blinked his eyes, and swallowed back the inappropriate joke of "Isn't it your crush?".

He said that he wanted Jane Luyao to draw a picture, copying Van Gogh's starry sky, and draw it on a two-meter-high and three-meter-long drawing board.

Jian Luyao said without confidence: "I've never painted such a big painting..."

Huge oil paintings require huge amounts of paint, and those are money.

Du Jiangjin asked her with a smile: "Then why don't you try?"

Jian Luyao shook her head: "I'm just afraid of wasting your time."

Du Jiangjin said: "It's okay, we are not in a hurry, I think you are suitable for painting "Starry Sky"."

Jian Luyao was taken aback.

Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is a gloomy, restless, restless, psychedelic and gorgeous world at the same time, intense and profound.

To a certain extent, Jian Luyao's heart is like this.

Du Jiangjin asked: "Would you like to draw?"

Jian Luyao's eyes gradually became firm: "I draw!"

Du Jiangjin said happily: "Then we've decided! Have you painted "Starry Sky" before?"

Jian Luyao said: "Drawing in high school..."

Du Jiangjin: "Then if you have time these few days, draw another small one. I'll show it to my friend. By the way, you can also practice your hand. Draw a better picture so that it can be priced."

"it is good."

They are about three days away.

Du Jiangjin drove over to pick up Jian Luyao very patiently. He saw the small painting by Jian Luyao in the car and praised Jian Luyao very satisfied.

He drove Jian Luyao to meet his friend. On the way, he explained that the painting was for the lobby of the hotel. After chatting briefly, he asked about Jian Luyao's home.

"Is it an only child?"

Jian Luyao shook her head: "I also have a younger brother."

Du Jiangjin: "Your brother is studying?"

Jian Luyao lowered her eyelids and replied politely: "No, I'm working now."

"Oh." Du Jiangjin didn't seem to notice Jian Luyao's reluctance to say more, and asked her again, "Why did you choose to paint oil paintings? Is it the influence of your family, or do you like it?"

Jian Luyao: "Because I like it."

Du Jiangjin turned his head and glanced at her, the topic was finally brought to an end.

Jian Luyao felt a little embarrassed again, so she said: "My mother... When I was very young, my mother taught me to draw, and she said..."

Jian Luyao is actually not very willing to recall those things. When she thinks of her mother, she will also think of the summer when her mother passed away when she was ten years old.

Du Jiangjin waited quietly for the follow-up, Jian Luyao pursed her lips, and finally continued: "She said that it's okay to have a bad life, we can use pens to create another world, a beautiful world that only belongs to us."

"What happened later?" Du Jiangjin asked, "How did your mother... die?"

Jian Luyao stared out of the window and said after a while, "Suicide."

Du Jiangjin was silent for a while, he finally stopped asking about Jian Luyao's family background, and Jian Luyao continued with that strange silence until they arrived at their destination.

Why did Jian Luyao never expect that Du Jiangjin's friend is Song Dan.

They met in the roughly renovated hotel lobby.

Song Dan was also taken aback, the astonishment flashed across his face, and then he cast a cold glance at Du Jiangjin who was causing trouble.

Jian Luyao froze and panicked.

Her first thought was that she was dressed casually today!An old T-shirt, a pair of baggy jeans, and black-rimmed glasses, bangs are still messy!

Du Jiangjin held Jian Luyao's shoulders, and pushed her towards Song Dan: "Come on, I have met our boss Song."

Jian Luyao walked over nervously, Song Dan didn't smile much, and she was also extremely disturbed, guessing that Song Dan might not want to see her at all.

Looking for a reason to push this off?

Jian Luyao was reluctant again, she wanted to see Song Dan again, even if it was just for a look.

"Call the boss." Du Jiangjin patted her, "Quickly call."

Jian Luyao lowered her eyes and shouted obediently: "Hi, boss."

Song Dan glanced coldly at Du Jiangjin again, and when his eyes turned to Jian Luyao, he unconsciously became much gentler, and she responded with a light yes.

This word also made Jian Luyao's heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help raising her eyes to secretly look at Song Dan's expression.

Song Dan was also looking at her, and caught her peeking gaze.

Jian Luyao immediately looked away and straightened her bangs uncomfortably.

Du Jiangjin showed Jian Luyao's little starry sky to Song Dan for a look. Song Dan took the painting with a smile, but said instead of looking at it, "Okay, very good."

Du Jiangjin blinked, then backed away calmly, pushed Jian Luyao over and said, "Then Boss Song, hurry up and talk about your request. Tomorrow we, Xiaoyao, can bring paints and come over to paint."

Song Dan held a small oil painting in one hand, and said to Jian Luyao, "Come on."

Jian Luyao immediately leaned over, her face was still tense, but her eyes were already brightened, and those hot emotions couldn't be hidden at all.

Song Dan avoided her gaze, and explained her request one by one in a matter-of-fact manner.

In fact, it is also very simple. Just in this hall, the huge oil painting is finished.The drawing board and shelf have already been ordered, and they are all placed here. The upstairs of the hotel is still being renovated, and there will be no one here for the time being. Jian Luyao can draw slowly by herself, within a month.

She explained the matter clearly and concisely, and finally asked softly, "Any other questions?"

Jian Luyao shook her head.

Song Dan said, "Then I will trouble you."

She was so polite, Jian Luyao had no choice but to be polite: "No trouble."

Song Dan paused for a few seconds, then turned to call Du Jiangjin, but the guy slipped away at some point.

Seeing the situation, Jian Luyao realized that she should take the initiative to say that she can go back to school by herself, but she didn't want to say so, so she pretended to be stupid and looked around the hotel.

The ground has not been cleaned up, there is a lot of garbage from the renovation, and the walls are also thick with dust, nothing to see.

Song Dan didn't speak, just looked at Jian Luyao.

Jian Luyao felt her gaze, rolled her eyes, wanted to look at her but didn't dare to look at her, so she said stiffly: "The decoration...is pretty."

Song Dan smiled, looked at Jian Luyao's erect nose under the glasses, and her restless lips, and suddenly changed her attitude: "Shall we have lunch together?"

Jian Luyao answered quickly: "Okay."

The two found a restaurant nearby.

Jian Luyao wanted to spend more time with Song Dan, but when she sat face to face with her, she felt uneasy and nervous. She kept thinking that she didn't put on makeup or dress up today, and she didn't take a shower before going out...but Song Dan is fragrant all over, will she despise herself?

Did such a hasty meeting expose her flaws and embarrassment?In Song Dan's eyes, would she still have merit?

And what to talk about now so that it won't look awkward?

She got stuck with her own problems and became more restless.

"When we met for the first time." Song Dan said, "You were not so nervous."

Jian Luyao stammered: "That day I..."

She was well prepared, and at that time, she didn't think about Song Dan.

Song Dan looked at her with a smile, and raised his tone: "Huh?"

Jian Luyao lowered her gaze: "I thought we would never meet again."

Song Dan was calm: "Is it because I deleted your WeChat?"

Jian Luyao raised her eyes and glanced at her, then hummed in a low voice.

Song Dan rested his chin with one hand, gentle and charming: "But I also called you later, but you didn't answer."

Jian Luyao was surprised: "When?"

Song Dan: "A few days ago, at night."

Jian Luyao suddenly remembered the strange number, she regretted: "I didn't receive it, I thought someone made a mistake."

Song Dan smiled: "Is that my typo?"

Jian Luyao immediately said again and again: "No, it's because I didn't get it wrong."

As she spoke, her eyes brightened up, and she looked at Song Dan with unshakable joy.

Song Dan looked at each other for a second, then moved away calmly: "So, what were you up to that night?"

Jian Luyao's eyes dimmed: "Some things at home..."

When she answered, she had a premonition that this topic would be ended, so she immediately changed the subject and talked about her participation in the joint art exhibition. She said that she did not expect to be able to participate, but she did not expect to sell her first painting in the end , Thinking about it, I still feel a little bit reluctant.

Song Dan asked her: "Why can't you bear it?"

Jian Luyao thought about Song Dan in the painting, and the day when she was crying and painting that painting, and said vaguely, "I just can't bear it."

Song Dan smiled and said, "What did you draw? Do you have any photos for me?"

Jian Luyao has photos on file, but she has the nerve to show them to Song Dan, so she avoids her gaze, and says in a serious tone with a lying reaction: "There are no photos, so I just drew a little landscape."

Song Dan nodded and drew a long tone: "Oh..."

After a while, Jian Luyao looked at her again, and said softly: "It's a beautiful scenery."

Song Dan's eyes moved, and he smiled slowly.

Chapter 11

It wasn't until the second half of the meal that Jian Luyao relaxed.But she still can't find a topic to chat with, or she said, she has too many worries about the topic.

She was afraid that Song Dan would not be interested, that what she said would be too boring, and that if she said too much, she would fail, which would expose her shortness of heart and narrow-mindedness.

But Song Dan felt so comfortable, like warm water, she contained everything in it.She would listen attentively to what Jian Luyao said, and her calmness calmed down Jian Luyao's uneasiness.

She thought, Song Dan is really wonderful, even more beautiful than the most beautiful painting.

After dinner, when the two walked out together, Jian Luyao mustered up the courage to ask Song Dan for WeChat again.

Song Dan said: "Didn't I call you? The phone number is the WeChat number."

Jian Luyao thought happily, fortunately, she didn't delete that record, and she could still find it, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

So she smiled and nodded: "Yeah!"

Song Dan glanced at her, moved his fingers holding the handbag, but did not speak after all.

They parted at the door of the restaurant.

"I still have something to do, so I won't see you off." Song Dan said.

Jian Luyao wanted to ask her if she could still see her when she came to paint tomorrow?But on second thought, she kept this sentence and chatted with her on wechat in the future.

Song Dan turned and walked to the other side, Jian Luyao stared at her back, and shouted worriedly: "You must add me! I'm waiting for you!"

Song Dan smiled sweetly.

On the way back to the dormitory, Jian Luyao found out Song Dan's number, searched for WeChat and added it.

Sure enough, it was another WeChat account. The profile picture was a house by the sea, which was very dreamy. The circle of friends was public, and it was full of various reposts.

Stocks, the economy, domestic and foreign current affairs, two of which are particularly eye-catching-how does a 30-year-old woman take care of herself, and how to spend her child's adolescence harmoniously?

Jian Luyao added friends, and when she was waiting to pass, she went through all of Song Dan's circles of friends, and found that she retweets once or twice a month, but about herself, there are zero.

There has been no reply to the friend application, but Jian Luyao is still in a very good mood. She went out of the dormitory to buy paints and tools, and then came back humming and looked at clothes and cosmetics online.

When Li Yunshan came back in the evening, seeing her cheerful reaction, she sarcastically said, "Hey, you're still rich after picking up money, so happy?"

Jian Luyao replied arrogantly: "You don't care about me."

Li Yunshan dragged the chair and sat down: "Oh, you are indeed a person in a good mood, so arrogant. What's the good thing, let me hear it."

Jian Luyao turned her back and ignored her: "Why should I tell you?"

Li Yunshan cut it and went to do other things by herself.

Jian Luyao bought a new set of clothes, and after paying, she checked the balance again.

Staring at those numbers, thinking about her current relationship with Song Dan.

Their nurturing deal is over... Then can she be with Song Dan?Just like a normal couple...

Song Dan, would you like her?

Jian Luyao thought about it pessimistically, and the friend application was approved at this time.

Jian Luyao immediately sent an emoticon, and then asked Song Dan: "What are you doing? Are you still busy?"

Song Dan: "Well, I haven't left the company yet."

Jian Luyao glanced at the time, it was almost seven o'clock.

"Why is it so late...then when do you have dinner?" This topic was a little stiff, but Jian Luyao still braved it.

Song Dan sat in the office, looked at the message, and took a sip of the cold coffee.

She has been working overtime until now because she and Jian Luyao chatted for too long at noon, things were delayed, and a series of troubles caused by disrupted plans caused her and several subordinates to work overtime.

It doesn't feel comfortable to have the plan disrupted, but Song Dan thinks that Jian Luyao is very happy just to get a WeChat ID, so he thinks it is acceptable to make an exception this time.

She will be very busy during this period, today is just the beginning, and she will be even busier tomorrow, and she may even have to eat on the plane by then.

After thinking for a while, Song Dan sent a sentence: "Are you coming out tonight?"

Jian Luyao replied in seconds: "Come!"

She put down her phone and immediately went to look for beautiful clothes.

Li Yunshan followed her back: "It's already night, do you still want to go out?"

Jian Luyao: "Yes."

Li Yunshan raised her voice in surprise: "Are you in a relationship?"

Jian Luyao was silent, she didn't know how to define the relationship with Song Dan, let's talk about it after tonight
