bullets and roses

The city of Shu City always feels slow.

When they were supposed to be busy, everyone leisurely drank tea, played cards, and talked about this family and that family. They didn't seem to regard the matter of making money and becoming successful in life as a lifelong pursuit. Their days just followed each other. The sun rises, the sun sets, and the day ends slowly.

After Luo Muxiao came over, he found a little joy in life.It is also interesting to sit still at the door of the studio, observe the passers-by, and analyze what kind of people they are.

Luo Muxiao suddenly had some inspiration one day, so he started to create. He specially selected those passers-by who had a story at first glance—for example, the one with obvious stains on his legs, presumably because he fell into it just now. The man who just stood up, he was frowning while talking on the phone, and he couldn't stop muttering something to the other end, which made Luo Muxiao quickly think of a little monkey covered in mud and irritated—— Although it is naive to describe it like this, but Luo Muxiao's first thought was indeed so.

He was originally painting for fun, who ever wanted to paint and paint, suddenly one day it became popular, and after Weibo fans gained countless fans, he found out that there was a queen who sorted out his portfolio and sent it to him all at once Countless flows.

Phone calls wanting to interview him came in endlessly, but Luo Muxiao rejected them all.Liu Lin said that if you devote yourself to creation, you will not be influenced by the desire for profit in Vanity Fair.

Luo Muxiao is particularly able to insist on himself sometimes.

Zou Feifei felt that he was holding it a bit: "You won't lose a piece of meat if you accept an interview, and it doesn't mean that you will be blinded by greed."

Luo Muxiao crossed Erlang's legs, said while shaking his legs: "You don't know, when I taste the sweetness, I am very easy to get in the way. If I get the sweetness in an interview, I'm afraid in the future..."

"It's really the first time I've seen someone say that about myself." Zou Feifei said speechlessly, "It's up to you."

Luo Muxiao chuckled, put away the painting tools and planned to leave work.

During these days, the studio is gradually on the right track, and the number of people who want to come to study is increasing day by day, and there is not enough manpower. Luo Muxiao posted a recruitment notice at the door, intending to recruit a few people, but until now, he has not seen any suitable ones.

Zou Feifei locked the door and said, "Why haven't you seen Gong Yuyang these days? If he comes over, he can help."

Luo Muxiao also found it strange that Gong Yuyang hadn't contacted him for several days. Logically speaking, even if Gong Yuyang couldn't come, he would definitely chat with him on WeChat.

But the last chat was still three days ago.

"I'll call him later and ask."

"Yeah." Zou Feifei nodded, "Then I'll go first."

Luo Muxiao waved at him, planning to walk back.The dinner was a bit full, but fortunately it was not far away, so he didn't drive his little broken car.

After he came over, he bought a second-hand car with a low price, and it was passable to drive, even though it was a second-hand car after all, it rotted pretty fast.

Luo Muxiao wandered towards home and called Gong Yuyang.

That end didn't pick up.

After walking two steps, Luo Muxiao felt something was wrong, turned his head and saw that Gu Zhubai was not far away.

Luo Muxiao stopped walking and waved at him.

Gu Zhubai's face brightened obviously, he quickened his pace and quickly walked to his side, called him awkwardly, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." Luo Muxiao said, "You haven't eaten yet?"

"It's not too late." Gu Zhubai rushed over just after finishing his work. Originally, he didn't plan to come over today, but when he heard that something happened to the Gong family, he still rushed over, "Eat something with me? "

There seems to be no chance for people to refuse between words-even though he has spoken very gently.

But for Gu Zhubai, no matter how gentle he is, there is also a little bit of toughness.

"Take you to barbecue." Luo Muxiao thought for a while, and said, "There is a barbecue in the alley downstairs of my house that tastes really good. I heard that it has been open for more than 20 years."

He will have supper.

Luo Muxiao rented an old house, lived on the fifth floor, climbed up and down every day as exercise, the key is that the rent is low, he can afford it.

There are quite a few old houses like this in Shucheng, which are in stark contrast to the tall buildings outside. Walking in is like entering another world, but it has a special charm.There are a few colorful lights standing next to the barbecue shop, and many people are bragging while drinking night beer, and it looks quite lively.

"I just don't know if you can get used to it." Luo Muxiao actually likes this kind of place, although the sanitation is a bit poor, but the taste is really good.In the past, he was under the control of Yu Meifeng, so he couldn't come, but now he is a loner, and he can come to eat whenever he wants, not to mention how chic he is.

Gu Zhubai didn't mind at all, and sat down directly.

Luo Muxiao ordered the order before asking him: "You just came over from there, did something happen to the Gong family?"

Gu Zhubai stopped opening the beer, raised his eyes and glanced at him, and answered with some displeasure: "Yes."

"What's wrong?" Luo Muxiao asked.

"I heard," Gu Zhubai paused, but still told the truth, "The Gong family has sent out invitations, and the wedding will be held next week. It's urgent."

Luo Muxiao was stunned, the movements of his hands stopped, he rubbed the rim of the bowl with his thumb, and said after a while: "With the Ling family?"

Gu Zhubai nodded.

Logically speaking, in such an atmosphere, Gu Zhubai should comfort him a few words, but he has never been good at comforting others, so when he encountered such a thing, he felt at a loss what to do.

What's more, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.The Gong family solved his love rival internally, and it was too late for him to be happy.

It's just that Luo Muxiao's expression is not very good.

It didn't take long for the barbecue to be served, Gu Zhubai didn't eat much, and Luo Muxiao sent skewers to his stomach instead.

"Eat slowly." Gu Zhubai was worried about his body after all, and frowned, "I like to eat, just come back later."

Luo Muxiao also took a sip of wine.

Gu Zhubai opened his mouth to persuade, but in the end he didn't say anything.

When Luo Muxiao drank half of the bottle, the phone rang, and it was Gong Yuyang calling.

Luo Muxiao stared at the phone screen for a while, Gu Zhubai said, "No answer?"

"..." Luo Muxiao sighed, but still picked it up, "Gong Yuyang?"

"Why is there no one in your house?"

Luo Muxiao stood up abruptly: "Aren't you—"

"I'm so fucking mad." Gong Yuyang swears, "Gong Yuzhen is a villain! I'm at your door, where are you?"

"...I'll be right back, you wait." Luo Muxiao took his coat and turned around to leave. As soon as he moved, he suddenly remembered that he was not alone.

He squeezed the phone and rubbed it twice before saying, "You..."

Gu Zhubai sat on the seat, the bench was a bit short, he was about 1.8 meters tall and curled up on the small bench, looking at him with dark pupils, no matter how you looked at him, he felt pitiful.

It's strange that Gu Zhubai actually showed such a pitiful expression.

Gu Zhubai seemed to be waiting for Luo Muxiao to arrange himself.

Luo Muxiao gritted his teeth, the balance in his heart reversed back and forth, and finally said: "You go back. I have something to do."

The disappointment in Gu Zhubai's eyes overflowed uncontrollably, he lowered his eyes, muffled "um", and even lost the strength of his fingers, he lightly rested on the table.

He didn't look at him again, just said: "Be careful."

Luo Muxiao should have comforted him a few words, but he swallowed the words when he got to his lips - what is there to comfort him?They are not the kind of relationship that can comfort each other.

It shouldn't have happened that we had a barbecue together.
