The studio where Zuo Nian is currently staying is the one where he first went to work, that is, the teacher in that studio saw the "works" he painted with paints for fun, and found that he was very good at color matching and appearance. It was only because of his talent that he had the heart to lead him on this path.Thinking of this teacher, Lu You couldn't help but sigh: Zuo Nian's luck in interpersonal communication is really too bad.

Although it is said that the person who guided him in the direction, reminded him to find the skills to settle down, and gave him the opportunity was not only out of love for talents.At first he allowed Zuo Nian to attend the class. Compared with regular students, he lacked materials and gave less guidance. In fact, the tuition fee was not less than a penny. Afterwards, he pretended to mention it casually, and Zuo Nian obediently made up for it all. up.

If it is a matter of course to pay for the lectures, the teacher pushed his original teaching tasks to Zuo Nian, euphemistically calling it "practice exercise", and the salary is still only given to the teaching assistant, which is a little bit It is speechless.The business scope of the studio is quite wide. Not only does it provide special training for students preparing for art exams, but also children come to take enlightenment painting classes. There are many and annoying things, but Zuo Nian accepts all the oppression, as if he doesn't feel comfortable It's like being at a disadvantage.As for the commission after the sale of the works, the deduction of publicity fees, and the collection of exhibition booths... There are so many projects, and I don't know how much went into the pocket of that "teacher".

Lu You doesn't believe that Zuo Nian is really so dull, or naive, that he is unaware of these things, but he has a distorted mentality, as if being deceived and used is also a way of being "needed".His mother is indeed a miserable woman, but she did leave the deepest psychological shadow on Zuo Nian—being locked up at home alone, no matter how much she cries and shouts, there is no response, and she is not ignored like air , is to bear the violent outburst of bad emotions... Since childhood, he has been used to patience, and then learned to extract false love from oppression.

If he can meet someone who insists on helping him, he may be able to turn around and break free from the quagmire that keeps engulfing him...

It's a pity that this kind of weak posture of being slaughtered by others is more likely to attract not protectors, but wolves who want to drink blood and eat meat.

Duan Sheng's car drove very steadily, and it didn't make people feel bumpy when driving and stopping for a while on the crowded road in the morning rush hour.Lu You leaned crookedly on the back, flipping through the text messages and incoming calls on the phone that had surged again after a night.Some of them were about work, training, etc., and he replied to those who could guess the cause; Too much momentum, and a few perfunctory sentences, it is purely regarded as a joke that is not very funny.

Lu You planned several endings for Zhou Zeyao in his mind, including everything from mental blows to physical trauma, but he hesitated when he thought of Zhou's mother, who had been estranged a little later, but who had sincerely regarded Zuo Nian as her own child.He thought for a while, and reluctantly realized that he was just a guy who was indecisive and worried too much. He couldn't help being a little depressed, and bit the straw in his mouth hard.

The straw is for drinking porridge—it is sealed in a plastic cup, and the warm millet porridge is scalded with hot water.Duan Cheng usually doesn't cook by himself, but yesterday he bought some ingredients in a serious manner and stuffed them in the cabinet and refrigerator, but he forgot to prepare them at night and didn't have time to make them in the morning, so he finally bought them from the breakfast cart on the side of the road.Lu You is used to drinking porridge in the morning, while Duan Sheng’s own breakfast is a finger cake, which he hasn’t eaten yet, and now the bag is being carried in Lu You’s hand—he frowned while Duan Sheng stared at the lettuce, but he still asked people to add a few more. I couldn't help laughing when I entered the film, thinking of the scene of walking slowly on the side of the road with the Templars in black many years ago in the early morning.

If he was sitting in the passenger seat, he could easily turn his head and stare at Duan Sheng's side face to express his feelings. Maybe he could even move his hands and feet when the car was stopped in traffic...or passively. feet or something.However, it is said that the passenger seat is the most unsafe seat in the car. When he got in the car, he was directly pushed into the position behind the driver's seat by Duan Sheng.Lu You turned sideways and looked into the rearview mirror. Duan Cheng was paying attention to the road ahead, and when he was keenly aware of his gaze, he turned his gaze around, and then his eyes slightly curved—it was a smile.

Lu You leaned forward, stretched his hand over the seat, put it on Duan Sheng's shoulder, touched his collarbone after a while, and moved his fingers like playing a piano on it.Duan Sheng was holding the steering wheel with both hands in a regular manner, as if he was not going to pull it back. The next time the traffic stopped because of a red light, he raised his hand without warning, grabbed the hand that was making trouble on him, and gently squeezed it. pinched.

"What's bothering you?" he asked.

Lu You was used to being read by Lin Heng in the last world, and he didn't bother to worry about why he saw it so easily, and told him what he was thinking just now.In the middle of the speech, Duan Cheng showed a strange expression, Lu You pinched his fingers in turn to force him to restrain himself, but he still laughed.In the end, Lu You sighed by himself, and said depressedly, "Did I think too much?"

"It's a bit." Duan Sheng said frankly.Lu You wanted to pull his hand over and take a bite.Their intertwined fingers loosened, and Duan Sheng touched the back of his hand. "I mean, don't worry about making trouble for that person, spending so much time and burden...he is not worthy." He said, with a small smile, "just ignore him, don't let him get his way, he He will destroy himself. It is his responsibility to get what result and make someone sad."

The car in front moved, Duan Sheng let go of his hand.Lu You was silent for a moment, then pinched him on the shoulder. "That's a good speech." He asked, "But, were you the one who said you were going to 'pit them' yesterday?"

"Ah... It seems that the true nature was exposed too early, and no one can be deceived." Duan Sheng said with a smile, "Yesterday it was me—the few words just now were not me." He glanced behind from the side view mirror He turned the steering wheel gently, "That's what my teacher told me before. He said that I... have too much murderous intent and a strong desire for revenge. If you don't want to suffer from impulsive arrogance, you need to learn to restrain yourself."

"Actually, I don't completely agree with what he said." Duan Sheng focused his eyes on the road ahead, his tone was very calm, "Because I have never tried to suffer, and I will not blame myself for excessive revenge... I don't mind implicating innocent people. Yes Isn't it a bit cold-blooded? However, the teacher is kind to me, and I respect him, so I did as I did, and I got used to it later. Your character should be closer to the teacher."

He glanced in the rearview mirror, smiled at Lu You, "I will take you to meet him when I have a chance."

Lu You hadn't realized the meaning of this sentence yet.So after he nodded in a daze, he struggled for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "Duan Sheng...what do you do?" He suddenly realized that he hadn't asked this question before, "It can't be a golden pot." A killer who washes his hands or something?"

Duan Sheng laughed violently, coughed so much, and stepped on the brakes. "No, I—well, I used to fight black boxing in underground competitions when I was young." He waited for the car to stop slowly, loosened his seat belt, turned around to Lu You, and raised a finger In front of his lips, "It's against the law, you can't say it - after the teacher made me his adopted son, all these things have passed. If you want to know, I will tell you secretly when I get home." He paused After a while, he put his hand down and started laughing again, "Is it too late for you to ask? I only know now... I feel scared and it's too late."

"Oh what." Lu You whispered, "You're so cute..." He saw that the stairs to the back door of the studio were not far in front, and stuffed the plastic bag containing Duan Sheng's breakfast into his hand, "Eat yours Lettuce go." I thought to myself: I have experienced the gods who kill people for fun, and eat them after killing them, so what is your past?However, after his gaze met Duan Sheng's and stared at each other for a moment, he read something from that person's seemingly unwavering gaze, and was a little stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling as if a soft corner of his heart had been crushed. Tapped lightly.

He leaned over, Duan Sheng grabbed his shoulders and pulled him closer, the two exchanged a short kiss, and then separated.At this moment, Lu You caught a glimpse of the top of the stairs not far away from the corner of his eye. It seemed that a figure flashed by, and quickly retreated into the door as if frightened and disappeared.

Lu You didn't care about this - let alone in the car, he was not afraid of being seen even on the street, but he didn't like to make those private exchanges public.As for the reactions of the people around him after being found out... In the original world, when he was dating Qi Zhengyun, he had already learned to ignore the gazes of those who had nothing to do with him, let alone now that he has become a voter and a more thorough passer-by. .He didn't even lose his mood because of it, he just thought Duan Sheng's expression of being calm but obviously nervous just now was very cute, he backed away from him with a smile, and opened the car door near the roadside.

"... Hurry up and deal with it and come back." Duan Sheng looked at him, his voice was a little low, "I'll wait for you here."

Lu You got out of the car, gestured "OK" to him, and closed the door.He took two steps, threw the plastic cup that he squeezed halfway in his hand after finishing the porridge, and threw it into the trash can by the wall. wave.He thought of the part of the past that Duan Sheng mentioned before, and then thought of Zuo Nian, and couldn't help repeating the previous sigh.

They are all "teachers", the ones Zuo Nian met and others met, how could there be so much difference...

A few minutes later, when Lu You met the real teacher Zuo Nian at the window at the corner of the corridor, the sigh became more intense.The middle-aged man leaning against the window with a cigarette in his hand looked passable. He was neither fat nor thin, and his clothes were neat. The Mediterranean Sea on top of his head was well decorated with hair on both sides.It's just that the corners of the eyes are drooping downwards, and the expression is a bit annoying.When he saw Lu You—in his eyes it was Zuo Nian—he coughed heavily, and before Lu You could speak, he said in a very dissatisfied tone, "Why didn't you come yesterday?"

There is no such thing as a holiday in the studio, it is better to say that it is even more busy on weekends.Zuo Nian has never sneaked around before, and when he has something to do, he will ask for leave obediently, and his salary will be deducted obediently.Lu You didn't think about it at all during the day yesterday, it was already past the off-duty time.He was wrong about this matter, Lu You endured the discomfort of being looked back and forth with suspicion, as if there was some kind of deep meaning, and while feeling that this person's attitude was a bit weird, he apologized in a low voice, still feeling sad in his heart. Thinking about how to bring up the withdrawal.

The man seemed to want to say something, but he paused before speaking.He took a drag on his cigarette and put out the remaining half of the cigarette in the window sill. "Forget it, I'll ask you later." He pointed at Lu You, motioning him to follow, "Someone was looking for you early today, and they have been waiting in the lobby. How did you come in through the back door? Go down and have a look. I don't know if I'm gone now..."
