The Romance of a Young Painter

Drag racing looks cool, but experiencing it in person is a completely different matter.

When the car finished tossing and turning at high speed and finally started to slow down somewhere, Zhou Nianjiu's first reaction was a splitting headache. Fortunately, dinner was almost digested, or there would be another one - overwhelmed. The other three of them all had a well-organized look, which was simply a realistic version. Without comparison, there is no harm.

"All the cars behind have been thrown away." The driver confirmed it through the rearview mirror.

"Keep going," Yuan Xun said, "Tiger, give me something, it's time for you to get out of the car, remember to hide well, don't let Steve catch your cat's tail."

The young man stuffed something into Yuan Xun's hand through Zhou Nianjiu, leaned over and exchanged a hasty kiss, then opened the car door and jumped out.

"Mr. Yuan, we are almost at our destination, do we need to lead them around again?" the driver asked.

"Our guests probably won't think this is a good suggestion." Yuan Xun looked at Zhou Nianjiu's pale face with a half-smile, and said, "Go directly."

Is this humanitarian?Or is there another purpose?

Before Zhou Nianjiu had time to think about it, he heard Yuan Xun ask him: "You don't seem to be afraid at all?"

"More or less it will." Zhou Nianjiu said.

"If you grew up around Steve, I wouldn't be surprised at your reaction now, but as a child who grew up in an ordinary family, your performance is remarkable." Yuan Xun said.

Zhou Nianjiu also just discovered that even being pointed at with a gun doesn't feel like a strong sense of fear, and drag racing is more like riding a roller coaster that runs for a long time.

Yuan Xun said: "If there are endless dangers in the future, will you choose to find a place to hide?"

"I'm not good at making assumptions." Zhou Nianjiu rubbed his aching head and said, "I don't understand why you all like to make all kinds of assumptions. What choices do people make when they are really in trouble? Expected, rather than making all kinds of meaningless speculation, it’s better to let nature take its course and live in the moment, isn’t it?”

"Let it be? Live in the moment?" Yuan Xun seemed to have heard some funny joke, he said, "It's really enviable innocence. If people like us don't look at a few steps before taking a step, I'm afraid we won't even die. None of them know."

"You? You and Steve?" Zhou Nianjiu asked.

"In addition, Shen Guangji, whether he wants to admit it or not, was already a pawn in the chess game when he intervened in the Fang family's affairs. And you, once you and Steve's father-son relationship is made public, you will Involuntarily falling into endless troubles." Yuan Xun added, "I'm not talking about the current situation, this is just a game, and it's not troublesome at all. The real trouble is that it will change your life and even endanger your life. life's."

Zhou Nianjiu shook his head and said: "Another assumption. You must know that unless Steve and his mother have no intersection, or I have never been born, there is nothing that can deny my blood relationship with him. Although I don't know what it means to be his son What, but I don't want anything from him, and at the same time, I don't expect anything from him, because what I lack is never what I can get from others."

"Can't get it from others?" Yuan Xun seemed to be aroused, and asked, "What is that?"

Perhaps it was because the other party's appearance really couldn't be connected with the kidnapper, and he felt that the other party was a good chat partner for a while: "It's a creative desire that makes people clear-headed but addicted to it."

Yuan Xun said with a smile: "You really look like a complete art lunatic. It seems that I made a mistake. You are not like Steve at all. Of course, you are not like Zhou Mengdie either. She is much more realistic than you."

"You know my mother too?" Zhou Nianjiu looked at her suspiciously.

"I've seen it once or twice." Yuan Xun didn't intend to continue the topic, "What about Shen Guangji? Why did you associate with that guy who doesn't look like you? Is it because you said let nature take its course and live in the present?"

It really hit the nail on the head.Zhou Nianjiu thought to himself, but what he said was: "No comment."

Fortunately, Yuan Xun didn't intend to ask further, because the destination had already been reached.

Zhou Nianjiu got out of the car, he looked around, and found that this place turned out to be a park in the middle of the street that he and Shen Guangji had been to.They could only hear Yuan Xun counting the seconds by the side. When the count reached almost two hundred, the whole park was illuminated by a sudden strong light, and several figures appeared in front of them against the light.

Yuan Xun said to one of them: "Steve, I knew you would come in person."

Steve said, "Son, you went too far this time, and I need an explanation."

Yuan Xun said: "Perhaps you should give me an explanation first, why is Palio staring at me?"

Steve said, "23 years ago, butterfly."

Yuan Xun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Just for this?"

Steve signaled Snark to bring the results of the investigation to Yuan Xun, and said, "I thought we were friends, but you drove my woman into a corner. I want to know why you did this?"

"There's no reason," Yuan Xun said without looking at the stack of materials, "It's just that she doesn't like her."

Steve said: "You and I both understand that such a reason is not convincing, right?"

Yuan Xun was silent for a while, and said, "Steve, do you want me to tell the truth?"

Seeing that the other party did not deny it, Yuan Xun said: "The truth is that woman doesn't love you as much as you imagined. After knowing your real identity from me, she made it clear that she would not continue her relationship with you. Of course, I did find someone for this." Been in trouble with her a few times, but I didn't expect that she would mistakenly think that I wanted her life, so funny, her life is not worth anything, what am I going to do. In the end she somehow got one that even I couldn't find The new identity, one person, oh, no, and the person next to me, the two of them went to S City, and have not heard from since then. "

After saying this, Yuan Xun said slowly: "What she wants is an ordinary and romantic life, the former can't give her at all in your capacity? Steve, it's only a few months, why don't you just treat it as a romantic life?" I had a beautiful dream, but I have to keep thinking about it until now?"

Standing beside Yuan Xun, Zhou Nianjiu could clearly see the exhaustion on his face that could not be ignored, but he still stared at Steve stubbornly with scorching eyes.

Zhou Nianjiu suddenly became suspicious, is this friendship?Or... is it love?

"Is that so?" Opposite them, the figure of the tall foreign man standing against the light seemed to dim suddenly.

A kidnapping ended, and the two sides did not shake hands in the end.As the head of the Cahill family, because of being provoked in his own territory or other inhumane reasons, Steve cut off his long-time friend, while Yuan Xun left country E with his people At the same time, he vowed never to set foot on this land again.

Zhou Nianjiu was kidnapped unharmed, and the only victim was Shen Guangji, whose arm was injured.

"How is it? Is it serious?" Zhou Nianjiu saw that his arm was wrapped with a bandage.

"It's nothing serious. The doctor said that it will be fine after a while, but I can't write for the time being." Shen Guangji said.

"Why did he attack you?" Zhou Nianjiu was puzzled.

"It was out of revenge for me increasing his workload." Shen Guangji couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this reason.

"Don't you know how to punch and kick?" Zhou Nianjiu still remembered seeing Shen Guangji doing Tai Chi in the yard in spring, and the moves he performed were not like ostentation.

Shen Guangji smiled wryly and said: "I can't stand it, Young Master Yuan has specially practiced fighting. He said that I can't hold a brush for a month, and let me think about whether to be a full-time painter or to devote myself to politics, and don't occupy both. He must have studied under Gao. Man, this one-month training period really made him quite sure."

Zhou Nianjiu touched Shen Guangji's bandage, and said: "Although the way he did it was rough, but what he said is good, you really should concentrate on doing things."

Shen Guangji deliberately frowned in protest.

Zhou Nianjiu thought she touched his wound, so she quickly moved her hand away.

Shen Guangji immediately said: "Did you suffer from him?"

Zhou Nianjiu shook her head and said, "No, he just arrested me to make Steve nervous, and he didn't make things difficult for me. After all, it was just a false alarm,"

"That's good," Shen Guangji asked, "That day when Mr. Cahill suddenly told me to find a way to hold Yuan Xun back, I felt strange. What did Yuan Xun do to make him afraid?"

"Because of my mother." Zhou Nianjiu recounted Steve's investigation and Yuan Xun's statement to Shen Guangji, and then said, "It seems that Yuan Xun is not too bad."

Shen Guangji said: "I never said that he is a bad person, it's just that everyone's standpoint is different, and Yuan Xun's behavior style is both good and evil, but it is considered clean in the Yuan family. In terms of unscrupulous methods, his younger brother Yuan Zhang and his father are in the same line. .”

Zhou Nianjiu was not familiar with the people he mentioned, so he had another question in his mind, and said: "Although Yuan Xun's words are flawless, I don't think my mother is as heartless as he said, at least when I was very young, my mother That man was mentioned a lot, as was my name she gave me."

"And your lullaby, your mother loves him, at least she once loved him deeply, otherwise she wouldn't love you like this," Shen Guangji said, "Now the truth has become a secret with your mother's death, and the other parties involved They will choose the truth they are willing to believe and continue to live, whether it is Yuan Xun who thinks he did nothing wrong back then, or Mr. Cahill who thinks he has given his heart wrong."

Zhou Nianjiu said: "It seems that love is really a complicated and troublesome thing."

Shen Guangji embraced him with his left hand that was still able to move normally and kissed him, and said, "Don't worry about other people's love, you just need to remember that my heart for you is as simple as it can be."

Zhou Nianjiu was not comforted by him, he thought of what he told Yuan Xun before and let nature take its course.

Being together with Shen Guangji is a kind of letting nature take its course.

Is this love?Or a relationship he hadn't thought of before—habit and dependence.
