be late

·

- She likes You Fu.

Nan Xue instantly became quiet.

She lowered her head, her black hair blocked half of her side face, her eyelashes blinked, the light from the dining room fell on her body, and the foggy shadow of the lantern fell on her white nose, she looked a little silent.

She pinched the napkin, moved her thin white fingertips twice, and after a while, threw it on the table.

"Are you serious?"

Nan Xue raised her eyes and stared closely at hers, for fear of missing any clues.

Shu Yubai hummed lightly.

Nan Xue's eyes seemed to be a little lonely, her thick eyelashes drooped, her small red lips were pressed against the rim of the cup, and she took a sip of the juice.

For a moment, looking up, the loneliness disappeared, leaving only the indifference of staying out of the matter.

She took a deep look at Shu Yubai, lowered her head, and laughed at herself.

Shu Yubai looked down at the watch, the silver hands trembled, pointing to seven forty in the evening.

It's almost time to go back.

At this time, the restaurant was full of people, and there were crowds all around, and there were still many people queuing up outside to get their meal numbers.

Shu Yubai looked at the dining room, the two of them were already lined up; and then looked at Nan Xue beside her, she was sitting there, perhaps because of the cold color of her clothes, she was actually quite lonely.

Shu Yubai ignored it.

"Let's go. Go to the garage and wait for them."

Shu Yubai stood up.

At this time, a child walked by, and was rushing forward noisily. Her mother followed closely behind, chasing her, for fear that the child would be lost. The bag, and the stiletto heels, were hit by her and couldn't stand still, and tilted back a bit.

She was startled, but there was a light touch around her waist, and a hand held it there.

There is still a light breath in the ear.

Nan Xue supported her waist, the fragrance of this person became very close in an instant, her waist was still soft, slender and fragile.

So warm to the touch.

Shu Yubai was slightly lost in thought.

Stand still, look back, and meet a pair of black and white eyes.

"elder sister…"

Before she finished speaking, Shu Yubai immediately removed the hand on her waist, squeezed her wrist to make her move away, and then, as if avoiding suspicion, stood a long way away.

Nan Xue's words got stuck in her throat.

Shu Yubai was looking into the distance, where You Fu was queuing up.

Nan Xue raised her eyebrows.

Was it because she was afraid of misunderstanding?

She bit her lip, and looked in You Fu's direction lightly, her eyes were like ancient pools, cold and dark, bottomless.

Shu Yubai felt a little embarrassed, Nan Xue touched her, she had to change her perspective, thinking for Nan Xue, she felt that she was thinking too much.

Ever since she impulsively kissed her that day, she discovered that Nan Xue was actually very resistant.

Shu Yubai coughed lightly, tried to find a topic, and said, "Do you like that boy?"

She looked in You Luan's direction.

You Luan looks somewhat similar to You Fu. Among her peers, she should be very outstanding. Nan Xue likes his type?Shu Yubai even began to consider the economic strength of the two families, which is very good, indeed a good match.

Ever since she found out that Shu Yubai was not officially with You Fu, Nan Xue had a lot of thoughts.

Nan Xue immediately said:

"I do not like him."

"I have no feeling for him."

"It's nothing to do with him, it's just a blind date organized by my father."

I can't wait to write "I don't know this man" on my face.

Shu Yubai leaned on the woven bamboo chair, with long hair hanging on one shoulder, and said softly: "This is your own business."

Then he looked back at You Fu.

It seems that they don't care at all.

·

The dinner for the four of them was over, and the sky had already darkened.

Shu Yubai drove home alone.

When they parted, You Fu asked her to go out to sketch together after a while, and Shu Yubai agreed.

But she has a slight lack of self-confidence.

Is she good at drawing?

Will Senior Sister be disappointed?

The residential area I live in is a bit old, but fortunately, the location is good. When I am on a high place, I can see the lake in the distance and the plain covered with snow.After getting out of the car, Shu Yubai opened the door with the key and walked slowly inside.

The ground was damp and cold, and my toes were so cold that I lost consciousness.

Downstairs some children were making snowmen, Shu Yubai looked over and smiled softly, children are not afraid of the cold.

Downstairs, the phone rang suddenly, Shu Yubai found it out of his bag, glanced at the screen, it was Lin Lan.

She picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"noob?"

Lin Lan was on the other end of the phone. Her voice was a little cheerful, and she asked straight to the point: "Listen to Nan Xue, is the puppy with you?"

Shu Yubai lowered his head and hummed.

Lin Lan knew that the dog was fine, so she felt relieved. After a while, she continued to ask, "Are you out of order? I saw you posted a lot of photos."

Shu Yubai shook his head: "No. You misunderstood."

She hasn't come out so fast yet, she has to go slowly.

Maybe one day, when she comes out completely, she will be able to respond to You Fu well and not disappointingly.

Shu Yubai had some expectations.

"Oh." Lin Lan thought for a while and said, "Then Nan Xue must have misunderstood. I told her that you are out of the order."

"It's okay." Shu Yubai smiled, pinched the phone to his ear, entered the corridor, and pressed the elevator: "I just met her, and I explained it clearly." Lin Lan felt relieved, and the two chatted for a while Sentence, hang up the phone.

Shu Yubai came back here and lived with his mother.

The mother is already old, a little lonely, and has a cat to accompany her. Now that Shu Yubai is back, it is a little more lively.

"mom?"

Shu Yubai opened the door, changed his shoes, and looked around.

A white puppet cat came over, and after a while, the little teddy that Lin Lan fostered also came.

A cat and a dog don't fight.

"Xiao Shu is back?"

A woman came from the kitchen, it was her mother.

My mother is old and well maintained. She was a very particular woman when she was young. Now that she is old, she is still the same as before: she loves to be clean, has a peaceful mind, and likes to tease cats and dogs.

Shu Yubai's mother's name is Li Nian. When she met her father, she was an associate professor at the university's Academy of Fine Arts. Later, she became a professor, but she divorced her father not long after.Now that a woman lives in this three-bedroom, two-living apartment, she has no intention of remarrying.

She has never experienced any hardships, and she has a personality that does not fight or grab. The only time she wrestled was in marriage

I'm used to neither fighting nor grabbing, Shu Yubai's father cheated, and she didn't bother to argue with her mistress, thinking that it would be okay if she didn't want a dog man, and divorced happily.

After the divorce, the economic conditions were a little worse.

Shu Yubai also suffered a lot.

Shu Yubai put the vegetables he brought along in the refrigerator into the refrigerator, and washed the dirty clothes before sitting on the dining table.

The dinner was very simple, and the mother and daughter ate there quietly. After a while, her mother suddenly said: "Just now, there is your courier."

Shu Yubai was a little curious, the courier was placed on the coffee table aside, the black parcel bag looked like a book.

She walked over and opened the package with a knife. It was indeed a book—or, a magazine.

"What is it?"

Mother stopped her chopsticks and looked over.

Shu Yubai turned a few pages, the corners of her lips raised uncontrollably, she put down the book, looked up, her eyes sparkling: "Mom, I'm in the exhibition, a silver prize work."

It was an exhibition I participated in in Beijing a while ago. After submitting the work, I impulsively broke the window paper with Nan Xue and left.

At this moment, the organizer of the exhibition printed the works in this booklet and mailed it back to her.

It's funny to say, at that time, it seemed that I had a premonition that I couldn't get along with Nan Xue, so I directly filled in my mother's address in the address.

Her work is a silver medal.

It can't be compared with her peak period, but it can at least prove some personal strength.

Li Nian took the book, turned it over and over again, his eyes were full of smiles, and said, "Not bad."

After eating, Shu Yubai began to plan to find a mentor.

It is better to go with the work than empty-handed.There is no problem with the work, but on the other hand, she has to allocate a large sum of money for tuition.The former tutor took me, of course it didn't cost much money at school, but the fees were high.

She's all graduated now.

Shu Yubai thought for a while, and his eyes fell on a few paintings piled up in the corner.

After a few minutes.

She put pictures of those paintings up on the auction site.

Sell ​​as much as you can.

Shu Yubai looked at the screen, hesitated for a long time on the starting price, and tapped lightly: 1000.

After a while, delete it again and change it to: 500.

How miserable.

What price does You Fu sell for a painting, she is only in three figures.

·

Lights were lit on the top of the distant mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, the sparkling lake reflected the night, the snow fell on the shore, the willow branches were withered, and the branches were gently flicking in the night.The light illuminates the snow, and the black and white outlines seem to be smeared with ink, which is very clear.

The room is connected to the terrace outside, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are open, allowing the cold wind to pour in directly.

Nan Xue seemed unconscious, huddled alone in the cold and quiet room, not knowing what she was doing.

The quilt bulged into a small ball.

Aunt Zhang took the hot milk prepared for Nanxue, steaming from the porcelain cup.

"No, sleep peacefully."

Nan Xue waved her hand and said softly, "Thank you, no need."

"Didn't you drink it every night before?"

Aunt Zhang sat beside her bed and closed the lid of the cup with a soft click.

She looked at Nan Xue's face and asked, "The little girl is in a bad mood?"

"No."

Nan Xue shrank under the quilt, buried her head deeply, and faced the wall.

Footsteps came from far and near outside the room, and Nan Xue could tell that it was her father.

Aunt Zhang looked at Nan Mingzhuo, a little embarrassed: "Sir, she doesn't drink."

"It's okay, put it on my table."

Nan Mingzhuo answered casually, leaning against the door of her room, looking down at Nan Xue: "What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

Nan Xue's voice was somewhat cold.

Nan Mingzhuo stood in front of her door, turned on the light, and looked at Nan Xue.

Nan Xue blocked the light with her hands, turned around, saw the person in front of her clearly, and whispered vaguely: "Dad."

She is not in a good state of mind these days, her face is pale, and she doesn't eat very much. She can say that she is full after just a few bites, and the parents are aware of it.Under the dim light, black hair was messily covering half of his small face, his skin was white and transparent, and he seemed to have lost weight again.

She huddled under the quilt, holding the phone in her hand.

Nan Mingzhuo's eyes fell on the screen of her mobile phone.

Nan Xue turned off the screen for a second.

"fine."

Nan Mingzhuo looked at her suspiciously, then turned off the light: "Go to bed early."

Hearing her father's footsteps going away, Nan Xue sighed softly and turned over in the quilt.Nuo big room, the feeling of loneliness that something is missing is even worse.It would be different if Shu Yubai was in everything.

When her father went downstairs, Nan Xue felt relieved.

The screen lit up, and the three prominent words on the search bar came into view: Shu Yubai.

Search this on Baidu, it's a bit suspicious

Nan Xue remembered that a little boy who handed her a love letter did this kind of thing in the past.

Catch her now.

Nan Xue felt uneasy in her heart, as if she was secretly doing something uneasy, she browsed quickly.

Shu Yubai has an encyclopedia introduction.

Nan Xue clicked on it. In the introduction, she was said to be a painter. She listed her representative works, and she was quite famous in all the exhibitions she had been in.

There are many compliments in the words.

She scrolled down the page again.

I even read all the profiles of strangers with the same name.

When he saw a search link, his eyes narrowed slightly.

It was a link to an auction website, with her name on it in small red letters.

Nan Xue clicked in.

A familiar painting came into view, her Gujing Wubo eyes flickered slightly, and then she looked at the starting price next to her: 500.

Shu Yubai liked that painting very much.

The courtyard painted in colorful ink is spread out in thick green, and in the distance are mountains of varying depths and shallows. Under the shade of trees, there is a small house. A classically colored lady stands in front of the house, staring into the distance, as if waiting to return home. .

In the past, when she finished painting, she gave it to Nan Xue, saying that it was the most satisfying one since her hand was injured.

Said to give it to her as a gift.

Now it's up for auction.
