little turtle in the reeds

When Yuan Ye was about to leave get out of class, he received a text message from Xu Yiran.

"How did you come back?"

Yuan Ye looked out the window, only to see light rain floating in the sky at some point.It was so small that he might not have been able to see it if the shaking leaves hadn't become wet and darkened.

Yuan Ye reached into the belly of the table and typed quickly.

"With a heart that wants to go home and kiss you, 'da da da' keeps going back for a moment."

Xu Yiran: "Yuan Ye!"

Yuan Ye: "Okay, okay, serious. I'm going to take pictures with the boss after class, and it will be very late when I get home. Don't wait for me, go to bed early."

Xu Yiran: "In such a hurry? Then you are busy, so you don't need to call me back."

Yuan Ye: "Kiss >33333<"

At this time, Instructor Shen announced that the get out of class was dismissed.

Yuan Ye packed his schoolbag, put it on his back, and went to the subway station alone in the rain. According to the address sent by the boss, he turned around and came to a residential area. According to the house number, he found a door with "Kaixuan" hanging on the door. Studio" brand duplex bungalow.Looking in through the window, there are many Taobao style clothes hung up in a mess.

Yuan Ye felt that this studio was different from what he had imagined. He hesitated when he knocked on the door. Before he could decide whether to go in or not, the door was pulled open from the inside.

Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment, but the person who opened the door smiled and pulled him in, saying, "You are Yuan Ye, come on, come on, I've been waiting for you for a while. Have you had dinner yet? I'm having dinner right now, let's eat together .”

Yuan Ye: "Are you Director Wang?"

"Yes, yes, oh, don't be so unfamiliar, just call me Kaixuan. I don't mind if you just call me honey." The boss took him upstairs, and sure enough, several people were crowded into a table full of magazines, Eat at the cloth table, "Let me introduce to you, this is our model for today, everyone hurry up, start work early after dinner, and go home early."

Everyone nodded, and they all called Yuan Ye to sit down and eat.

There is a large bowl on the table, which contains Chinese cabbage soup with three inches of oil.Yuan Ye only took a quick glance, and then excused himself that he had eaten and didn't join them.

The boss, including a few staff members, was very enthusiastic, but Yuan Ye always felt that it was unreliable. He wanted to turn around and leave several times, but he held back when he thought about the remuneration negotiated before.

A few people really ate very quickly, and after ten minutes, they went to work.Seeing that they were quite dedicated to their work, Yuan Ye felt less uncomfortable.But when taking pictures, there are still many problems.

He also worked as a model a few times in his freshman year of high school. He has a little experience. Even if his performance ability is not as good as that of a professional model, it should be enough for this kind of small workshop.Although the boss has been using words such as "e-commerce" and "brand" with a lot of English to introduce, but Yuan Ye can almost tell that this studio is for taking photos of Taobao stores.

The boss has a lot of demands, sometimes he said "Your muscle is not beautiful, you have to cover up this defect", sometimes he said "Your momentum is too strong, covering the product itself", and sometimes he said "Your eyes are a little blurred, Create a sense of light luxury that is drunk and dreamy."

Yuan Ye listened to his fiddling without saying a word, and there was only one thought in his mind, that he would never come again after getting the money.

As a result, after tossing, it dragged on until one o'clock in the morning.

Yuan Ye changed back into his clothes with a cold face, took out his mobile phone, and felt a little annoyed when he saw the time.In addition, I didn't eat dinner, my blood sugar was low, and my whole face was turning black.

Who knows, when we went to the boss to pay the bill, the boss also said: "You wasted a lot of our time." The originally agreed two hundred was reduced to fifty by such a sentence.

Yuan Ye had been looking at this sissy for a long time, and his face was livid as he held the greasy 50 yuan bill, his clenched fists were creaking.

At this time, the boss is not a motherfucker, and said coldly: "It's useless for you to stare at me, this is the price in the industry, and it's the price for newcomers."

Yuan Ye: "Before..."

Boss: "What happened before? I thought you were a professional model before! You told me that you have experience, and I really believed your evil. It took my mother all night, and I don't know if these photos can be used. 50 yuan It’s the taxi fare for you, it’s quite a lot. Go to any modeling agency and ask, is this the price of my conscience? Don’t be fucking shameless, take the money and get out.”

While he was speaking, several employees gathered around and looked at Yuan Ye silently.

Yuan Ye smiled angrily, flattened the 50 yuan bill, folded it carefully, put it in his pocket, put down his schoolbag, turned around and walked towards the boss and the others.

At the beginning, the boss was still holding on to his momentum, thinking that he had so many people, so he was afraid that he was a young boy?It didn't take long for everyone to get down.As soon as he was punched, he started crying and howling: "Call the police, call the police! I'll fuck your mother... ahhhh!!!"

Yuan Ye picked up the scissors on the table. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of those employees thinking about coming over tremblingly. He glanced at them coldly. When they froze, he walked up to the boss, picked him up, and wiped his neck with the scissors. Tie it against the wall, and said calmly: "200 yuan, not one cent less."

Boss: "Believe it or not, I won't let you get along..."

Yuan Ye: "Believe it or not, I'm underage, so it's not against the law to stab someone to death?"

boss:"……"

Yuan Ye: "Two hundred."

The boss trembled and raised his mouth, and it took him a long time to say a word: "Give it to him, give it to him quickly!"

Yuan Ye let go, dropped the scissors, took the remaining 150 yuan contentedly, and left.

The night sky was like washing, and the crescent moon was like a hook, exuding a dim light.

The rain has stopped.

Yuan Ye stood blankly on the road outside the community. A taxi stopped in front of him. The driver poked his head out and asked him where he was going.

Yuan Ye reported the address of Xu's family. Just as he was about to get in the car, he suddenly remembered something and asked cautiously, "How much is it?"

Driver: "Two hundred."

Yuan Ye: "..."

Driver: "It's midnight, what's the matter? Do you want to sit?"

Yuan Ye: "Fuck you, don't sit down."

Driver: "Fuck." He raised the window and muttered, "Don't let me see you again, idiot."

Yuan Ye watched the taxi go away expressionlessly, put his hands in his pockets, squeezed the 200 yuan he only earned, and looked up at the moon.

The moonlight is so beautiful, it's time to take a walk.

With that in mind, he took a step forward.It didn't take long for another cloud to accumulate in the night sky, and after a while, the cloud drifted and covered the pitiful crescent moon.

It was already six o'clock in the morning when Yuan Ye came back, and some old people in the community had already come out for morning exercises, and when they saw him, they praised him for getting up early.He pursed his lips and smiled, dragging a pair of stiff legs upstairs, his mind was already a little numb.When he was about to get home, he shook his head, rubbed his face with his hands, and took a few selfies with his mobile phone. His expression was okay before continuing to walk up.

When there were still seven or eight steps to go, the door of Xu's house suddenly opened.

Xu Yiran's tired and surprised face poked out from the door, and when he saw him, his whole body seemed to be glowing.

Yuan Ye stopped in a daze, looked at Xu Yiran running out in a daze, and hugged himself.

"You're back!"

In a trance, he felt that a stack of banknotes was stuffed into his palm, and Xu Yiran's embarrassed voice came from beside his ear: "Mine, manuscript fee, can I deposit it with you, where?"

Yuan Ye lowered his head to look at the five hundred or so yuan in his palm, then looked at Xu Yiran's expression of "handing in the salary", and swallowed all the words of refusal on his lips.He smiled and folded the money and put it in his pocket.

Xu Yiran just laughed.

Turning around, he asked Yuan Ye if he had had breakfast, and Yuan Ye said no, and hung it on his back as soon as he entered the door.

Xu Yiran staggered, and said helplessly, "I want to cook porridge."

Yuan Ye pretended: "But I just want to hug you. I want to charge my battery."

Xu Yiran had no choice but to carry around with such a spirit behind him.While waiting for the porridge to finish, Xu Yiran asked Yuan Ye why he came back so late, and said that he wanted to send a text message to ask questions, but he didn't dare to send it because he was afraid of disturbing his work.

Yuan Ye replied ambiguously: "There are too many requests over there, so it was delayed for a while."

Xu Yiran: "Is it true that you didn't sleep all night? Today, no, you still have to go?"

Yuan Ye: "I won't go, I'm exhausted, and I only earned two hundred, which is worthy of my handsome face!"

Xu Yiran made a small suggestion: "You, please, be humble."

Yuan Ye turned Xu Yiran around, let him look at him, and asked, "Come on, tell me 'modestly', how am I? Tell your conscience, handsome or not?"

Xu Yiran looked at him for a moment, blushed, and whispered, "Handsome."

Yuan Ye was satisfied.

He kissed Xu Yiran on the forehead, walked out of the kitchen happily, and went to the bathroom to wash up.When he was brushing his teeth, he saw his current state. His face was swollen, his eyes were bloodshot, and his dark circles were so thick that they almost caught up with the smoky makeup.

Thanks to Xu Yiran for boasting.

Yuan Ye touched his ugly face, oiled his hands, immediately twitched the corners of his mouth in disgust, and hurriedly washed his face.

What Xu Yiran cooks is simple white rice porridge, the craftsmanship is really average, tasteless, not worth eating.But Yuan Ye was really hungry. When he ate it, it smelled like something. The first few bowls were basically poured into his mouth.Xu Yiran cooked a big pot, and in the end he only ate a small bowl, and Yuan Ye finished the rest.Xu Yiran looked scared, always worried that he was full.Fortunately, Yuan Ye was probably born in the year of pig, so it was delicious to eat. After eating a pot of porridge, nothing happened except for a few more full belches.

Porridge is not enough to be hungry.

Seeing that Yuan Ye was starving, Xu Yiran was thinking whether to go out quickly and buy some pancakes and steamed stuffed buns for him.Yuan Ye washed all the pots and bowls, told him "go catch up on sleep", and went to the bedroom.When he remembered to ask Yuan Ye what he likes for breakfast, he went to the bedroom and saw that Yuan Ye had already fallen asleep on the bed.I didn't even have time to take off my coat.

Xu Yiran took his steps lightly, walked over on tiptoe, took off Yuan Ye's coat, and helped him cover the quilt again, recalling the scene of having breakfast at school, thinking about the breakfast in front of Yuan Ye under normal circumstances, holding the This month's new pocket money, went out to buy food for Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye slept soundly this time, and even snored cheerfully.When he was in a daze, he felt two eyes staring at him, thinking who is so annoying, when he raised his eyelids, he saw a somewhat familiar face.

He kept snoring, managed to concentrate a little bit, thought hard for a while, and finally remembered, fuck, isn't this Xu Yiran's father? !

Yuan Ye's snoring stopped abruptly in the middle, and his whole body bounced instantly, which startled Xu You.

He saw it, no, no, this is the future father-in-law, he must be respected, so he hurriedly asked, "It's all right, Dad!"

Xu You: "..."

Yuan Ye: "..." I'm an idiot!

Xu You thought that this child was longing for fatherly love, so he was instantly relieved. He patted Yuan Ye's shoulder lovingly and said, "As long as you want, I will be your father from now on."

Yuan Ye: "..."

Although Dad Xu seems to have misunderstood something, let this beautiful misunderstanding continue now.

Xu You came back to get the documents. Seeing someone in Xu Yiran's bedroom, he stopped by to take a look, and happened to see Yuan Ye sleeping soundly.

Originally, he wanted to take a look and leave, but now that Yuan Ye woke up, he sat down and chatted with Yuan Ye for a while, mainly because he was afraid that Yuan Ye would be psychologically burdened by living at home.

After chatting for a few words, they talked about Yuan Ye's part-time job.Xu You praised Yuan Ye's ability and independence, Yuan Ye said no, he wanted to be humble in front of his father-in-law, but accidentally, he was too modest and revealed that he was almost cheated.

After Yuan Ye finished speaking, he regretted it. He was afraid that Xu You's impression would get worse. Fortunately, Xu You had seen this kind of thing a lot, so he didn't think it was strange, and only told him to learn from it.

Before leaving, Xu Youduo asked, "What's the name of the studio you mentioned?"

"Kaixuan."

Xu You nodded, said he knew, and went out.He is very busy, running between the hospital and the law office, and occasionally he can go home to cook a meal.

Dad Xu gave Yuan Ye the feeling that he was a good elder to get along with, so when Dad Xu asked the name of the studio, Yuan Ye didn't think much about it, and felt that he would not go there for a part-time job in the future, so he stopped paying attention to "Kaixuan Studio" up.

Unexpectedly, a few days after the long vacation, he received a text message - from a number that had been deleted, but seeing the ending number, he still remembered that it was the boss of that studio.

The content of the text message is very strange, and sometimes it says "Please let me go, there are too many people in the circle, why are you messing with me for 200 yuan?" If you come to work part-time, I will give you five hundred a day, please stop staring at me."

Yuan Ye was confused and thought that this idiot was going to do something again, so he directly deleted the text message.

The next day, he saw a message posted on Weibo, which was sent by the city's Public Security Bureau. The content read: "The police in our city received reports from the masses and arrested 13 people who gathered to take drugs on the spot."

In the accompanying picture of this Weibo, there is a person with a mosaic on his eyes, which is obviously the boss.

Yuan Ye: "..."

At this time, his mobile phone rang, and when he answered it, it was a call from a person who claimed to be a policeman from a certain police station. He asked him about the criminal suspect Wang, and he told him about his part-time job. The policeman was very gentle. He said he knew, and comforted him by saying that Wang had overdosed on drugs a few days before he was arrested, and had hallucinations. He always thought that someone was watching him, and told him not to care about Wang's text messages.

Yuan Ye is not afraid of this "Wang", but he is a little concerned about one thing: "I read in the news that it was reported by the masses..."

"Yeah." The police uncle laughed and said without a word, "I have to thank you."

Yuan Ye: "Is it really the person I know who did it?"

Uncle Policeman: "I'm sorry we have work regulations, and it's inconvenient to reveal the identities of enthusiastic people. Please, goodbye!"

Yuan Ye: "..."

Xu Yiran waved his hand in front of Yuan Ye: "What, are you in a daze? Time to eat, lunch."

Yuan Ye put away his mobile phone and said "oh" dryly. When he held Xu Yiran's hand, his back felt a little chilly.

He might have been too optimistic before, maybe Dad Xu's test was not as easy as he thought.
