Who says I'm not good at work?

"You...why did you come here suddenly?"

Shi Can opened his mouth, but the other party didn't answer.

The visitor looked at Shi Can, then frowned and looked at Qin Zexi.

Shi Can cleared his throat, introduced him again, and said, "He, he is my... assistant.

I mentioned it to you on the phone before. "

Qin Zexi stood at the door with a "buzz" in his head, and he guessed it right away.

He subconsciously pulled his pajamas, cleared his throat, "Auntie, you... come in and talk."

Qin Zexi took a few steps back, remembering that she had inadvertently broken into Shi Can and her mother's phone, feeling very embarrassed.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

Shi Can paused for a moment, then introduced to Qin Zexi, "This is my mother, surnamed Chen."

Shi Can's mother's name is Chen Qiu, in her 50s, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, and her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Shi Can's.

"I called you some time ago, and you said you were not at home.

I'm worried you have something to do, come and see. "

"Well, I just came back from a business trip.

I originally planned to rest for a few days before going back to have dinner with you. "

Shi Can took the initiative to explain, went up to meet him and said, "Mom, let's go into the house.

My assistant will be leaving in a minute. "

Qin Zexi's heart skipped a beat, and Shi Can's repeated emphasis on "assistant" was nothing more than eager to get rid of the relationship.

But the pajamas on the two of them couldn't be fooled, and those with long eyes could tell the tricks.

Qin Zexi met Shi Can's eyes from the corner of his eye, then cleared his throat and said, "I'll pour water for Aunt Chen."

After finishing speaking, Qin Zexi quickly washed a cup and poured warm water, then turned around and headed towards the back room.

Entering the room to tidy up the bedding, and then taking off the pajamas and putting on a T-shirt, Qin Zexi's movements were done in one go.

Regarding Chen Qiu, Shi Can mentioned it to Qin Zexi, but he didn't say anything for reference at all.

Without early understanding, it is difficult to deal with it at this time.

Qin Zexi tidied her hair and did a lot of psychological construction.

He was about to go out when he heard an argument in the living room.

To be precise, it was Shi Can's mother who made the attack.

"Why haven't you made any progress at all!" The voice was penetrating, and mixed with indescribable resentment, "I thought you had learned to behave in the past few years, why did you start to get entangled with other men again?! You think I can't see it You and that assistant..." Qin Zexi couldn't hear clearly, I don't know if the auntie lowered her volume on purpose, or she couldn't continue speaking out of anger.

He walked lightly to the door of the bedroom and looked towards the living room.

I saw Chen Qiu holding Qin Zexi's painting "Lust" in one hand, looking at it for a moment to confirm the person in the painting, then raising his voice, becoming more excited: "This is the work you are talking about? Didn't you stop doing these a long time ago! "..." Shi Can didn't answer, it was hard to explain.

"When did you become a head? Why do you still do such an offensive thing?" The mother became emotional, looked at Shi Can and frowned and asked, "Is this how you get the money you call me every month?

If so, I won't take that money. "

Shi Chan's mother disapproved of him being a model, so it's no wonder that seeing the painting made him even more angry.

In the modeling circle, this is a common occurrence.

It can be said that the family members of most nude models look down on this industry, and even strongly oppose their relatives to engage in it.

Couples broke up and divorced because they knew the truth, parents were reprimanded and angry because they were pointed at, and some innocent children were poked at the spine because their parents were engaged in the nude model industry.

In the eyes of others, nude models are equivalent to using their own flesh and blood to make money, which is morally corrupt.

They are an integral part of art, providing painters with inspiration and ideas.

But in the end, the praise for the painting belongs to the artist.

The painter is famous for his beautiful work, but the models in it are neglected and even live in the shadows.

They are afraid of being recognized, unable to let go of their guard against those close to them, and need to hide their occupations to avoid the colored glasses of others.

Qin Zexi once read a piece of news: a nude model in an award-winning oil painting was recognized by others, which affected the model's life, and even made it difficult to maintain a teaching job in an elementary school.

The girl was whispered and ridiculed by countless parents, who called her not like a teacher and had no moral bottom line to be a teacher.

Shi Can's mother is just one of many "family members".

Her words were the same as those in the story, but mostly the exhaustion and anxiety of years and years.

Divorced from her husband, taking care of teenage children alone, Chen Qiu has experienced more than imagined.

A few years ago, Chen Qiu discovered Shi Can's sexuality, and later found out that he was doing nude modeling.

Since then, mother and son have started a tug of war.

Protracted.

Both parties were tired, and the son watched his mother haggard, so he simply chose to cheat, saving his tongue.

The mother can't understand the career her son has chosen, and the son can't convince people who think completely differently from him.

"When did it start again? Or have you been lying to me all these years?" "I..." Shi Can finally spoke, feeling that since he was discovered, there was no need to lie anymore.

He took a deep breath and said succinctly: "There has been no interruption in the past few years, mainly because of school courses.

I don't make a living as a model, I—" Before Shi Can finished speaking, his mother lost her patience.

"Opening your mouth and shutting your mouth and being a 'model', you are obviously selling your body."

The word "again" is a complaint to Shi Can, and it expresses: the same dialogue has been experienced countless times, and it exhausts one's energy.

The mother threw "Lust" heavily on the ground, with tears in her eyes: "If I hadn't come to you suddenly, would you have had enough time to put away the painting and lie to me?" "Mom, what are you doing!" Shi Can bent down to pick up the painting, feeling very distressed.

The lower right corner of "Lust" was cracked due to the impact, and the frame and the canvas were torn out, "You don't have to worry, I'm fine now."

"Why can't I live a normal life? Be like a normal person and have a normal job!" Shi Cannian Qin Zexi was still at home, not thinking about the dispute, cleared his throat and said, "Mom, is it okay if we don't talk about this for now?" , I will see you when I have time in a few days."

"Don't try to send me away, are you going to lie to me again?"

Chen Qiu's eyes were red, and he didn't know how else to persuade his son, "I don't expect you to get married and have children now, I have obviously compromised, but why are you humiliating yourself?"

Seeing that Shi Can regarded the painting in her hand as a treasure, her mother felt uncomfortable and wanted to take it away, "Can't you stay away from the 'painting'?!" Shi Can was unwilling to let go of "Lust", and her mother was even more forceful.

Seeing the two tugging a few times, it was difficult for Qin Zexi to hide in the room.

He pushed open the door and quickly walked in front of Shi Can.

Qin Zexi grabbed Shi Can's right hand, protected him behind his back, then looked at Chen Qiu and said, "Auntie, I drew this painting, and I insisted on giving it to him.

Don't be angry, don't blame him. "

Chen Qiu froze for a moment, then looked at Shi Can in a moment of reaction, with indescribable surprise in his eyes.

She was silent for a long time, as if she was trying to organize her words, and she seemed to be having difficulty accepting Qin Zexi's occupation: "Why are you getting involved with a painter again? Have you forgotten how you looked like a ghost or a ghost? After all, it's not easy." Get back to normal, and repeat the same mistakes?!" "Okay, Mom, stop talking."

Shi Can took a deep breath, not wanting to involve Qin Zexi in the dispute, "You have been here for a long time, sit and rest."

Shi Can looked at Qin Zexi, and issued a eviction order to show protection, "It's fine here, you can go back first."

"No, I don't want to stay with you any longer."

Chen Qiu turned around and walked towards the door, passing Qin Zexi and said, "I'm against him liking men, but I must do my best to accept it, because I hope he won't suffer so much.

But I can't accept him going back to a few years ago, so please stay away from him. "

Qin Zexi wanted to leave her aunt to stay, but Chen Qiu insisted on leaving.

Seeing her leave angrily, Shi Can was worried, and hurriedly changed her shoes to catch up.

Qin Zexi took the coat from the hanger and quickly followed.

When Chen Qiu went out, he lowered his head and wiped his tears, without looking back, he went out of the community.

Shi Can ran after her quickly, wanting to explain to her mother, but the moment she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.

What else but cheating? "I'll see you in two days."

Shi Can watched his mother get into the car, stood on the side of the road in a daze, unable to calm down.

Qin Zexi followed him not far away until the car disappeared at the end of the road, and then came to Shi Can, "Go back."

Qin Zexi put the coat in his hand on Shi Can's shoulders to prevent him from catching cold in his pajamas, "Don't stand here all the time."

Shi Chan took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

He let out a "hmm", and then put away the sadness in his eyes.
