Stand-in Raiders

As the days passed, Du Hainian finally figured out Xiao Peng's recent whereabouts.

Xiao Peng would go out very early every day, and when he came back at night, the moon was in the sky.

More often, Du Hainian found that Xiao Peng would always be with the woman he saw at the beginning, but Du Hainian didn't know that woman.

Haven't even seen it before.

Who is that?How could you be so close to Xiao Peng?

Du Hainian once asked Xiao Peng this question, but every time Xiao Peng diverted it with various topics, and never answered his question directly.

"Xiao Peng, I participated in the Juilliard Cup, can you accompany me to the final?" On this day, Du Hainian waited outside Xiao Peng's door early in the morning, and stopped him when Xiao Peng went out down.

"It's great that you participated in the Juilliard Cup." Xiao Peng looked at Du Hainian with a very gratified look, as if watching his own child finally grow up, "Your is very talented , You can’t just waste it like this, I wish you a good result.”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Peng didn't care what Du Hainian's expression was, he just pushed him away and left.

Du Hainian was left with a look of disbelief, why, this is not an answer at all.

After Xiao Peng left, Du Hainian didn't stay here any longer. He had figured out some problems these days, and Xiao Peng didn't want to talk to him at all now.

Whether it was about the problems between them or something else, Xiao Peng would avoid him whenever he saw him.But he didn't know why at all, just thinking that it was as inexplicable that this person wanted to break up with him.

Obviously, Xiao Peng took care of him so meticulously after he was drunk before.

Is this ruthless?

After Du Hainian returned home, he opened his computer and logged into his mailbox. Today is the day when the second round of the Juilliard Cup will be released.

It took more than half a year, from late autumn to early summer, and the competition has reached the penultimate round. I don't know whether to say that the progress is fast or slow.

But maybe because of his emotional failure, Du Hainian performed very smoothly in the preliminary round and the first round of the semi-finals, especially the topic of the last round with "black" as the main theme, which just allowed him to express himself. The depressed mood, perhaps, can also be regarded as a vent?

After returning home, Du Hainian skillfully opened the refrigerator and took out the food that had been prepared by housekeeping and covered with plastic wrap. He heated it in the microwave and brought it to the dining table.

Du Hainian still remembered that when he used the microwave for the first time, he directly ate all the dishes, and the one who choked on the microwave and didn't give face was directly discarded.At that time, he really didn't think that he would have such a proficiency one day, but he paid the price of being burned many times.

He also did it himself, insisting that the housekeeping staff leave after finishing the work.After eating, Du Hainian took everything to the kitchen. As for washing the dishes?sorry he won't do that

Returning to the studio specially opened for painting during this period of time, Du Hainian first used his notebook to look up the topic of the last rematch.

It is "warm".

What kind of subject is this?What is warmth?sunshine?hot water?red, yellow?

Du Hainian did not expect that this competition would be so unreasonable. If someone told him to be warm, most of the time, he would probably think of nature, relatives and friends.

Sunshine is a kind of warmth, and love is also a kind of warmth.A kind of warmth can warm the body, and a kind of warmth can warm the soul.

How to choose is the decision that Du Hainian needs to make.

"Warmth, do you want to draw a character?" Du Hainian took his drawing tools and pointed at the white paper laid out in front of him, "Or flames, like Tommy's Burning Man?"

Du Hainian was unconsciously gesticulating beside him with a pen, letting the tip of the pen fall on the canvas from time to time, and one after another shadows were slowly drawn on the canvas, mottled and mottled.

Not long after that, Du Hainian fell asleep on the canvas.When he woke up again, Du Hainian turned his head to look at the wall clock beside him, it was already afternoon.

After eating the unstoppable brunch in the morning, now Du Hainian doesn't feel hungry. It's just that after lying down for such a long time, his stomach seems to be pushed up, and there is a slight twitching feeling, which makes Du Hainian feel uncomfortable. so comfortable.

Du Hai read out of the room, went to pour a glass of water and poured it down.He felt that he needed to calm down.

Originally, the last time he went to find Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng's attitude seemed to be softening, but I don't know why he was so...direct today.Yes, Xiao Peng didn't answer whether he would go to watch his finals. As far as Du Hainian understood it, it was a refusal.

Xiao Peng is a gentle person, gentle to the bone, he will not refuse directly, so avoiding talking about it is already a very obvious attitude.

However, what happened after he left yesterday, or the afternoon before yesterday?

Du Hainian expected it well. After Xiao Peng walked away quickly, he didn't go directly to the company as usual, but drove to another place.

At this time last year, Du Hainian was still in City A of Huaguo, enjoying family happiness with the old man of the Du family, or maybe with the Xiao family, teasing Xiao Yuanyuan with Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Ping.In short, Du Hainian never imagined that on the other side of the ocean, in this place where pigeons are flying everywhere, it might not be as peaceful as he imagined.

"I knew you would come." The beautiful woman stood in front of a new grave, her face could not be called pale, but it was not much better.

"Eileen, I'm... sad." Xiao Peng walked behind the woman, holding a bouquet of white daisies bought on the road in his hand, "But it's been a year since this matter, you should take it easy."

The woman named Elena moved one side to the side, giving Xiao Peng half of the place, "What's so sad about you, aren't you still entangled with Wayne? Man, it's not straightforward, but What a disgrace to the family."

Wayne is Du Hainian's English name.

When Du Hainian was mentioned, Xiao Peng didn't know what to say.

When the incident happened a year ago, he was also caught off guard. Even if he said the word "break up", he was not in the mood to think so much at the time. Coupled with the pressure from the family and Du Hainian's After ignoring him for a while, he really felt exhausted.

In addition to physical fatigue, there is mental fatigue.

When he needed Du Hainian to be by his side the most, that person was far away, but he was with another person.

Xiao Peng suddenly became suspicious.

In his relationship with Du Hainian, he has always been the active one, but what about Du Hainian?Think about it carefully, what did Du Hainian do for him?That's right, every time he took a step forward, Du Hainian took a step back. He made a request, and Du Hainian either agreed or refused, but Du Hainian never took the initiative to ask for anything.

I really like it, I can't wait to stay by the other party's side all the time, so how can I ignore the other party for other things?

Du Hainian seemed to never understand his mood.

Even, never tried to understand.

"Eileen, I think you know that I fell in love with Wayne at first sight." Xiao Peng and Elena stood side by side, without turning their heads to look at each other, but just looked away, "He Just like an elf, I just wanted to hold him in my arms, love him, spoil him, and give him all the good things in the world, as long as he wants."

"But now? Why do you want to be so... alienated, or hide from Wayne? What did you say when you rebelled against the family because of him?" Elena now remembered Xiao Peng's behavior at the beginning, and now I still feel shocked now, "You said that you want to be with that person for the rest of your life and you will never regret it. Why, now you find that you said something wrong?"

"Eileen, I also want to be with him now, but there seems to be some problems between me and him." Xiao Peng retracted his gaze and glanced at the tombstone in front of him. He has a gentleman's head in threes and sevens, with a three-character mustache.

"Just do it." Elena didn't say much, bowed to the tombstone, and then pulled her coat.

Even in early summer, even in the midday sun, she still felt a little cold in such a place with lush vegetation.I don't know if it's a physical or psychological feeling, but with gusts of cool wind blowing past, Elena felt that she was about to get goose bumps.

"It's noon, let's go have dinner together." Xiao Peng noticed Elena's movements and sent out an invitation, "You are going to Italy soon, and we haven't had dinner together for a long time."

"I'll be leaving in a week." Elena gave Xiao Peng a blank look, "I've been back and stayed for so long, and it's only now that I'm about to leave before you can remember to have a meal, and I don't know what to say about you Are you careless or do you despise me?"

Xiao Peng felt that he couldn't speak, and this woman was always so forceful.

Xiao Peng remembered that he wanted Elena to invite him more than once, and she herself rejected his invitation with various reasons. Unexpectedly, Elena was able to beat him back now.

"If I dislike anyone, I can't dislike you, Master Elena." Xiao Peng stretched out his hand helplessly, and made a supportive gesture towards Elena, and after Erina put Xiao Peng's hand on it, the two of them fell apart. left.

Only the two bouquets of white daisies left swayed as they were blown by the wind.

It's clearly the early summer when the temperature is not low, but this place that is so gloomy still makes people feel cold in the heart.
