Old Xu used the method of keeping a dog to fall in love

My name is Jiang Liren, and I am as happy as an old father now, watching my daughter grow up happily.

I'm sitting in a cafe right now.Opposite me sat Xu Wenhua and the flower girl.

The flower girl said, "I sold my painting and made a small profit. I'll treat you to milk tea."

I clicked from the side, and found out that selling flower girls is actually selling a pair, and the profit is not enough for milk tea.But Xu Wenhua and I didn't expose it, and we also condoned the behavior of the flower girl.

I feel sad and sympathetic because of her experience, and I also think that this experience is partly caused by me. It is because I did not protect her well and did not help her well, so she is so miserable.

"Then do you want to develop in art?" I smiled and said to the flower girl.I glanced at Xu Wenhua lightly. Just now I wanted to say that Xu Wenhua's art skills could help her, but after thinking about it, it was too 'kidnapping' Xu Wenhua.It would be great if Xu Wenhua could untie her knot, and it was hard to ask for more.

The flower girl pursed her lips and thought about it, then turned her head to look at Xu Wenhua, and asked, "Does Teacher Xu think I should develop into art?"

Xu Wenhua shook his head and said, "It's up to you whether you should think about it or not. We just gave suggestions." After that, Xu Wenhua glanced at me.

Oops, what kind of look is this, I should make up my mind to confess.I'll tell him after I send the flower girl back.

The flower girl pursed her lips and said innocently: "You just don't want to be my life mentor." She said this sentence like a joke.

Both Xu Wenhua and I laughed and didn't reply.

Then, the flower girl said, "I'm planning to learn oil painting recently, and I saw a good painting class on the Internet." She stirred the pearls in the milk tea, somewhat hinting that she wanted to enroll in the class.

I turned my body to look at Xu Wenhua in doubt. Xu Wenhua is a professional painter, so it is impossible for him to say that he does not know how to paint.It should also have a little foundation, and it should be possible to teach the beginner flower girls.

Xu Wenhua smiled slightly at me.Mild, like a silly white sweet.I shifted my gaze to the flower girl.

I asked the flower girl: "Xu Wenhua can also paint, you can ask him for advice. And for painting, online learning is not as good as offline learning. There is a professional teacher who can read your paintings and comment on them for you. better."

I almost said it bluntly, and I almost said directly, 'Online learning is useless, drawing requires people to introduce it. '

But the flower girl said coquettishly, "I don't want to." The movement of stirring the pearls became faster, and she even secretly glanced at Xu Wenhua.

What action is this?Does the flower girl have any thoughts about Xu Wenhua?I frowned and looked at Xu Wenhua, as if I was looking at a man who seduces an underage girl.But I thought again, Xu Wenhua probably wouldn't attack the little girl, right?

"Brother, I want to learn to draw. But learning to draw costs a lot of money, and the online classes also cost money." The flower girl looked at me aggrieved.

I pursed my lips, I didn't believe the words of the flower girl in my heart, and I didn't want to give the flower girl the money.On the one hand, I don't trust the painting classes on the Internet, on the other hand, I wonder why the flower girl's house abandoned Xu Wenhua to learn painting.

But I knew I couldn't refuse the flower girl's request.

Xu Wenhua asked plainly: "How much do you want?" There was no doubt on his face, nor any other expressions.

I looked sideways at Xu Wenhua, it's not appropriate to give money without asking.

The flower girl's eyes widened in surprise, and she tentatively said nervously, "500 yuan."

I was shocked, this online training course also has a lot of one-time fees. Although 500 yuan is not a lot of money, it is expensive for a training class that I don't like.

Xu Wenhua took out his mobile phone expressionlessly, and said, "Switched."

In this transaction, the money is not mine, and the recipient is not me.I'm actually just a bystander, but I personally think it's not appropriate.

The flower girl is in a mediocre state of mind now, and she is still underage. Is it not good for Xu Wenhua to be responsive to her like this.How many times have they had this experience in private?

After drinking the milk tea, the flower girl left us and said that she wanted to celebrate with others the news that she had won her first pot of gold.

I was thinking of stopping the flower girl and asking who she was celebrating with and how long she was going to celebrate.I even want to say, can you bring me along in your celebration.

But Xu Wenhua suppressed me, he silently said with his mouth: "Don't worry about it."

After the flower girl left, I directly questioned Xu Wenhua in a very aggressive tone: "It's inappropriate for you to give money directly like this. She is still a child now. It's okay if you give her a little pocket money. How about giving her five hundred at once?" OK?

We should help her enroll in the class by myself, and I will give her a painting tutorial class. If she wants to study art in the future, I will also subsidize her. "

Xu Wenhua glanced at me, took out a tissue from his trouser pocket, and wiped his hands.

I didn't understand, I frowned, but said in a slow tone: "You..."

Before I could speak, Xu Wenhua interrupted me: "Who are you to her?"

I was taken aback by the question.

Xu Wenhua continued: "You helped her by saving her on the subway, and she didn't accuse you of saving her. She agreed to your act of saving her, so she should also bear the consequences. After being rescued the consequences of retaliation."

I was taken aback again, what is this?Isn’t this the meaning of forgiveness for incomplete salvation?There is an old saying that goes well: Sending Buddhas should also be sent to the West. What is it that you save half of people?

I replied: "Her mother, what happened to her life is related to me. I should protect her, but I have not fulfilled this responsibility. I cannot and will not fulfill my responsibility in the future."

Xu Wenhua was expressionless, and said to me in an extremely cold tone: "She is not your responsibility, and it is impossible for you to be responsible for her. Emotionally, you have done your best, but legally, you and her mother's death, What happened to her has nothing to do with it.

What she can kidnap is the atmosphere of this society, not you. "

I'm not good at words, I don't know how to reply.Said dryly: "She didn't kidnap me."

Xu Wenhua said abruptly: "She's boring." I froze for a moment.

Xu Wenhua continued: "It's so boring. It should be beautiful, but it can't change." After speaking, Xu Wenhua stood up.

I hurriedly said: "What are you talking about?" Xu Wenhua looked at me from ruthless to soft.

He said: "Rolling the road?" For a while, I couldn't keep up with Xu Wenhua's topic jump.But I wanted to keep talking to him about the flower girls, so I agreed.

On the way, I asked Xu Wenhua: "Do you think giving money is not a good behavior?" My tone was much gentler.

Xu Wenhua said: "It doesn't matter, money is not important."

I was choked, who wants to discuss whether money is important or not.

I said, "For a request like hers, I think we can discuss it before making a decision."

Xu Wenhua's footsteps stopped, and I turned to look at him.With soft eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said softly, "Us?"

I hurriedly said: "No, it's not what you think. I just think that we are helping her together now, and we should discuss things if we have something to do." I looked into his eyes and always felt...it was so strange. It's not disgusting, but a feeling of wanting to recoil, of fear.

Xu Wenhua stepped forward, forced me, and asked, "To help her together? Do you think I have selfishness in helping her?"

By saying that, he almost tore away the veil, the issue that I have always wanted to talk about, but was actually avoiding.

I said, "Probably, probably not." Xu Wenhua's gaze was too aggressive.

At the beginning, he gave me the image of an intellectual, and then he gave me the image of being gentle, kind and able to cook, and now he really makes me feel that he is an aggressive man.

Xu Wenhua sighed and said, "I don't force you, but you should understand me." He blinked at me with one eye, and I nervously swallowed my saliva.

Then, he smiled and walked forward.I followed him too, and I saw his steps slow down to match mine.

I see him throwing himself out of step to match mine.

I see the way he always looks at me.

I saw the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

I lowered my eyes and remained silent.The two of us walked for more than half an hour like patrolling the street.

Xu Wenhua glanced at the phone and said, "It's getting late, you should go home for dinner. Shall I see you off?"

I waved my hand and said, "No need."

Xu Wenhua grabbed my wrist, pulled me towards him, and said in a low voice, "What if I say I must give it away?"

My muscles tensed for a moment, and I was afraid.Yes, I'm scared of his sudden aggression, I'm scared of his expressions of affection for me.I'm afraid of his love because I can't return him.

I unconsciously took two steps back, Xu Wenhua looked down and saw the two steps, and let go of my wrist with a wry smile.

He didn't speak, just walked to the parking lot.

It was probably because his eyes were too sad when he turned around when he lowered his eyes. I stepped forward and said, "You should see me off."

He smiled back, his amber eyes glowing with hope.I was stunned for a moment.

In the car, along the way, I was thinking that what I did was too much.

Obviously I can't return his love, I'm a straight man, it's nothing if I give him a rejection signal like this, and then give him a permission signal.Are you kidding me?A mallet and a candy.

I was introspective, self-loathing along the way.

I made up my mind halfway, and I must make it clear to him when I get off the bus that I am a straight man, I am different, I want to pursue girls, yes, girls.

Yes, I should be pursuing a woman, a gentle and virtuous woman.

But when I got out of the car, I lingered in the car and didn't say anything. He walked around to me and opened the car door for me, looking at me with a half-smile.
