"Aunt Mei, have you seen Chad? I tied him at the exit of the training ground just now, and he's gone now." Zou Yan was a little anxious, asking Aunt Mei while looking around, ignoring his riding boots stepping on the muddy water. dirty.

Chad was a Shiba Inu chosen two years ago on his 13th birthday at a cat and dog shelter his father took over.He was not interested in cats and dogs. That day he followed his father to check the situation of the shelter and waited for his father in the reception room. At this time, little Chad ran over and began to tear his trousers. He chased him away several times, every time The little thing backed away in panic, and after a while, he came up again and gnawed on his pants tirelessly.He was a little impatient, picked up its neck and took it away, only to see that the puppy suddenly became obedient, curling up his little hands and sticking out his tongue to look at him, his eyes were wet, and his little tail was wagging extremely fast.Zou Yan hesitated for a while, then put him into his arms and hugged him. The puppy whined and rubbed against him enthusiastically, looking very happy.

Father came out to see this scene and asked him if he would try to get a dog, and he nodded in a mysterious way.

"Since you choose to raise it, you will be responsible for his daily life in the future, is that okay?"

When sitting in the car, his father said such a sentence, Zou Yan was busy teasing the puppy, so he hummed inadvertently.Although he was careless when answering, the facts have proved that he is a man who keeps his word.Feed, accompany and train, Chad thrives under his care.

This weekend, he still went to the horse farm with his father to practice horse riding. He thought he could take the dog to play on the grass of the horse farm, so he brought Chad to the horse farm.No matter how many times he came here before, Chad was always afraid when he saw a horse. Zou Yan did not bring him to the driving range as usual, but tied him to the post outside the driving range.But when he practiced a few times and came to look for Chad again, he found that it was gone.

Zou Yan anxiously searched around the training ground, and even ran to the construction site where the racecourse was being built next to him regardless of the danger, but he couldn't find it.When I came back, I saw Aunt Mei coming to deliver meals to me, so I hurried forward to ask.Maybe Aunt May saw Chad and took it away.

"Chad? Didn't see it, isn't it with you?"

Zou Yan shook his head, and really started to panic, thinking about what might happen.One is that Chad was frightened by the people and horses coming in and out, so he broke free from the rope and ran away by himself.The second is that the management or service personnel of the horse farm saw that the dog was tied to the gate of the driving range and thought it was inappropriate, so they took it away.The third is stolen by people passing by.

Zou Yan immediately went to the front desk of the racecourse, and asked the staff if they had seen a yellow-fur Shiba Inu, but got a negative answer.Seeing that the guest lost something, the horse farm immediately mobilized all forces to help him find it.Soon I saw Chad's whereabouts on the monitor, and he broke free from the rope and ran to the construction site.

Zou Yan immediately set off and searched around the construction site with several racecourse staff.At this time, Zou Yan's father heard the news and rushed over to go with them.

The construction site was still under construction at this time, and the rumbling sound of the machines overshadowed their voices calling Chad's name, and Zou Yan's heart suddenly beat extremely fast.He turned behind the protection wall of the construction site and saw a blood-red wheel mark on the ground. At the end of the short mark there was a mass of blood and flesh, and the part that was not stained red by blood was yellow fur.

The staff who followed have also arrived, and they all screamed when they saw this scene. You can know what happened by looking at the traces on the scene-the puppy broke free from the rope and ran aimlessly, and finally ran to the construction site Nearby, unfortunately hit by a construction vehicle.

Seeing that the guest's dog had an accident in their field, the person in charge of the racecourse hurried forward and said, "I'm sorry for the guest, it's because of our poor management, and we will take responsibility for this incident."

"You don't have to be responsible, it's his own responsibility." A majestic voice came from Zou Yan's father, "You deal with the aftermath yourself." After speaking, he turned and left.

Zou Yan stood there without looking back, he felt blood red in front of his eyes, and the smell of the surrounding dust penetrated into his nose, as if it had turned into a thick bloody smell, which was disgusting.

Seeing the boy standing there blankly, the person in charge couldn't bear it after all, and called a few people to come forward to help him, but he stopped him.

The boy pursed his lips tightly, walked to the wall without saying a word, picked up a torn nylon bag that had been discarded for a long time, put it in front of the horrible mass of flesh and blood, and picked up the broken pieces with his hands without hesitation. stuff, put it in the bag and wrap it up.The sun was just right, and when they saw the messy bloody handprints on the bag, they all shuddered.

When Zou Yan carried Chad's body into the car, Zou's father just gave him a casual look and asked the driver to drive home.

Later, he was called into the study by his father covered in blood, and only answered a few questions.

"Have you thought about the consequences of bringing the dog to the racecourse?"

"No."

"The dog leash has been used for so long, have you thought about changing it?"

"No."

"How did you promise me when you adopted that dog?"

"I will take responsibility for it."

Zou Yan stood in the corner of the study where the desk lamp couldn't reach, feeling that something so heavy was strangling his neck, making him unable to breathe.

He finally buried Chad under a tree by the lake, and the moment he buried the last handful of soil, a big lock called responsibility was buckled into his body.

This lock is so strong that in the next few years of his life, he firmly believes that it is the right choice to abandon all his preferences to be a good son and a good heir.He didn't want to implicate other people because of his own reasons, because no one knew what would happen after the butterfly flapped its wings.

Until the year of the college entrance examination, he dug out the architectural models he had collected in his room, playing with those objects with wonderful structures, and suddenly remembered that he was quite an architect when he was a child.He didn't take it seriously at the time, and put those little models by the bedside.But those little things seemed to be endowed with magical magic, and they would firmly attract his attention every time he was about to fall asleep, and the little desire buried in his heart suddenly swelled and filled his chest.The imagination of steel and concrete is blocked on the road of succession.He wants to study architecture.

People who have been suppressed for a long time are prone to eruption. He mustered up the courage to explain his thoughts to his father. The momentum was as decisive as a mountain torrent, but he was quickly beaten back to his original shape.There are many things in this world that cannot be decided by an unarmed 18-year-old boy.

His anxiety and depression started from here.

During the summer vacation when most high school graduates indulged recklessly, Zou Yan ran around the world with his father.At that time, due to some policy issues, the operation of Xingyan stagnated. His father wanted to reform, so he took him out to study and study.

When he came to visit and study in a hotel in Japan, his mental condition was already very bad.At a welcome reception, he watched the bustling scene of drinking and drinking, and could almost imagine his numb smile ten or twenty years later. Finally, he couldn't help it and walked out alone.

He thought that when he drove past the nearby park today, he seemed to see a lake.

Zou Yan found the park based on his impression, but he couldn't find the lake.He walked unconsciously on the quiet path and broke into a small garden.

He just sat motionless in the secret grass, watching passers-by, waiting for time to pass.

After sitting for a while, he noticed that a boy also came to this garden, took a paper and a pen, and sat on the flower bed opposite him, looking around, as if expecting something.

The boy was very good-looking, and his appearance seemed inexplicably familiar. Zou Yan looked at him and was suddenly pulled back.

He saw the boy set up the drawing board, but he didn't draw, but stared at the passing passers-by like him.Are you looking for a model?Zou Yan watched for a long time, and became more and more curious about his behavior.

With the passage of time, the expectation in the boy's eyes was slowly fading away. Zou Yan didn't know what happened to him, and was a little anxious for him, but suddenly heard him speak in a gap where there were no passers-by.

He said "Do you want a portrait?" in Chinese and English.

It turned out that he wanted to help people take portraits, but Zou Yan suddenly laughed.Generally, when street performers make portraits, they will display a few more works next to the drawing board to let people know what they are doing.The boy might be trying to imitate, but he's missing the point.Where is there a street performer who ran to such a remote area and set up a drawing board.

Time passed slowly, and the boy sat in front of the drawing board, looking a little depressed.Seeing that it was about to get dark, the boy still hadn't got a single guest.Zou Yan looked at his eyes that had changed from bright to dark, and felt a little distressed inconceivably.Dark clouds were gathering, and it was about to rain. He stood up suddenly and walked towards the boy.

The boy saw him approaching him, stood up quickly, and asked him expectantly in two languages: "Do you want a portrait?"

Zou Yan was stunned because he found out that he knew this boy.It's a celebrity in the school, it seems to be called Zhang Jianyang, and he is also the person who once stirred up waves in his heart.Because this person came out in front of all the teachers and students in the school, and I only dared to bury the secret of my sexuality in my heart.

Zou Yan nodded subconsciously, and Zhang Jianyang let him sit on the side of the flower bed, and was very happy to start the brush for the first time, thinking about it while painting.

"You are so handsome, your nose is so high, um, it's my style. You can't understand anyway, haha. If only you were Chinese, we can try. My Japanese is not good..."

"Hey, why don't you smile, with a sullen face, it's so boring to draw."

Zou Yan ignored his words, and only focused on his delicate eyebrows and smiling mouth.

"It's done, but I think it's ugly, haha."

Zhang Jianyang took the drawing paper from the drawing board and motioned for him to come and get it, but the moment he stretched out his hand, he pulled it back.

"No, I think you should laugh."

Zhang Jianyang took the drawing paper, changed the original straight line of the mouth into a smile, and handed it to him again.

Zou Yan's hand holding the painting trembled slightly.

The dark clouds disappeared, and the person in front of him shone with dazzling light, which almost made him cry.
