be late

There was no sound in the shop.

The person at the counter was slightly surprised. In fact, he didn't know what the situation of this painting was. After all, the boss was responsible for buying the painting, and he was responsible for selling it, so he only knew a general situation.

This person said, the painting is an imitation?

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the young woman in front of him.

She stood on the old wooden floor, her long black hair reflected the light of the snow outside, she stood there quietly, giving people a flat, neither humble nor overbearing feeling.She was wearing a light gray turtleneck sweater, wide-leg pants with a strong fall, and a light golden bag on her shoulders. Her long hair hung softly around her waist. Her fingers were thin and white, but there were obvious thin calluses between them.

He had an intuition that this person was either a teacher from the Academy of Fine Arts or a fresh graduate.

In short, it is a know-how.

He put down the lunch box, got up, took two plastic cups from the stage and poured them a glass of water, lowered his head slightly, and handed them over.

"Drink some hot water, it's cold."

Shu Yubai took the cup.

The man looked at her and smiled: "You say it's a fake? The paintings here are all selected by our boss himself. He has a good eye."

"And you, don't talk nonsense."

"No nonsense."

Holding the hot water, Shu Yubai didn't know how to explain the embarrassing scene in front of her. She turned her head and asked the woman beside her, "Do you still want to buy the painting?"

"Huh?" The woman turned her head to look at her with clear eyes and a little doubt: "Is it really a fake? It's a pity."

"What a pity?"

"I quite like it."

She stood in the room, looking at the painting again and again——this painting was also found after she went to several stores.

I like the style of painting very much.

Very special, clean and hazy soft temperament.

But she said it was an imitation?

Her eyes fell on Shu Yubai.

This woman, she noticed as soon as she entered the door, felt a little different.Long hair, slender waist, the key is that there is a unique style in the gestures of the hands and feet, it is elegant, but not all, it is more like a delicate gentleness.

Nothing aggressive.

Light and faint, like catkins by the lake.

"you are?"

She looked at Shu Yubai with curiosity and desire to get close.

"I also learned to draw."

Shu Yubai looked at her and smiled lightly: "Trust me, you can't be wrong."

"Well."

She nodded and put away her phone.

The acquired customer was about to run away, the shopkeeper was a little unconvinced, he looked at Shu Yubai, the shallow smile in his eyes disappeared little by little, leaving only seriousness and dissatisfaction, he knocked on the table with his index finger: "You Who is it? Why do you say it is an imitation, and it is an imitation?"

"It's worth the price, I say."

"She is the original author of this painting."

A voice came, not loud, very thin, cold and clear like crushed ice.

Several people were slightly startled, looking for the sound.

There was a girl standing in front of the door. She had been here for some time, and she was looking up at the paintings on the wall.She was wearing a fluffy white down, with a long neck, black hair falling gently on her shoulders, fair skin, small red lips, cold side face, and a clean demeanor, as if pulled out of the water lotus.

Shu Yubai turned his head: "Are you here?"

"Yeah." Nan Xue pointed outside: "The vegetables are bought, and they are in the car."

"Are you the original author?"

The woman looked at her in surprise, her eyes were bright with light: "Really?"

"Ah."

Shu Yubai was still a little embarrassed: "I keep this painting at home. If you are interested, you can come and see it."

"..."

The store owner was silent.

No wonder!She said so with certainty, so it was she who painted it!It's okay to sell the painting as a fake, but bump into the original author?

What's the matter.

"Can you add a WeChat?"

The woman looked at her with a strange feeling in her heart, as if this was also a kind of fate.It's no wonder that there is such a relationship between a painting with a unique temperament and a person. She looked at the painting and thought, what kind of person can draw such a thing?

It was her.

Shu Yu's eyes drooped, and her red lips curled up: "Okay."

Shu Yubai opened the WeChat interface, but was startled.There are a lot of unread messages in it, and the little red dots are one after another.

One of the portraits is blank, and there are several unread messages. It is the little girl who bought her painting at a high price, the granddaughter of Aunt Zhang.

Shu Yubai opened it and read it for a while:

- "Sister, are you there?"

- "Did you go to a friend's house to play?"

-picture.

- "Are you divorced?"

- "It's too late, you have to go home, it's not safe outside."

Shu Yubai smiled, and it took a day before he began to reply: Sorry, I just saw it.Thank you for your concern, I'm back home now.

at the same time.

Nanxue's phone dinged, accompanied by constant buzzing and vibration.

she pinched it to see

Shu Yu came with white hair.

Nan Xue: "..."

She stood there and watched the two exchange contact information. The woman seemed to be a little interested in Shu Yubai, and her eyes were bright when she looked at her.

Shu Yubai

Seems to be pretty close to her too.

Nan Xue looked at her quietly for a while, and the two were still chatting happily there.

After a while, she stepped forward, her boots buzzing on the floor.Shu Yubai turned her head, Nan Xue gently took her hand, moved closer, resting her chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "Let's go, sister."

This is a very intimate gesture. When she spoke, a burst of moist and warm air radiated into Shu Yubai's ears.Her ears are very sensitive.

Slightly crispy.

Shu Yubai tilted his head and dodged back.

The two went out and got in the car. Shu Yubai sat in the passenger seat, looking down at the phone, not knowing who to chat with.

Nan Xue kept her eyes straight and asked, "Who?"

Shu Yubai lowered his eyes, and lightly tapped the screen with his slender fingertips: "Just added, she said she is a doctor."

"Oh?"

Nan Xue glanced sideways: "You two have a chat?"

The dinner was prepared by her mother, it was very rich, Nan Xue didn't know how to pick vegetables, and the carrots she bought were not fresh, Li Nian scolded her with a smile, but she didn't take it seriously.

The next day, Nan Xue went to work again, and Shu Yubai went to visit the teacher according to the agreed time.

It was nine o'clock in the morning when Su Hanting took her there.

Ying Ran's residence is in a group of antique buildings, the entrance and exit is a moon gate with white walls and black tiles, and the sensor glass door, when someone comes, press the doorbell, and the people inside will automatically open when they see it.

It was still early, and many shops on the street hadn't opened yet, and the surrounding area was deserted and quiet.

Su Hanting led her through a small courtyard and walked in.

"My teacher is a little serious."

She looked at Shu Yubai, and said slowly: "He likes hardworking students, and he prefers smart students."

Shu Yubai nodded.

Su Hanting seemed to be more nervous than she was, telling her along the way: "When I see him later, don't be too rigid, just relax. But if he asks you to draw, you have to do your best to draw well."

"He's good at cursing."

"I have scolded and cried several little girls before, but no one dares to learn from him."

"I was scolded by him too."

"It's terrible."

……

A few days earlier, Nan Xue had recommended this teacher to her.

But at that time, she just asked Nanxue to help her uncle take the painting over to look at and point out, but she didn't see the real person.Is he so strict?Shu Yubai gently pinched his fingertips tightly, a little nervous, and his palms were slightly wet with sweat.

Walk through several small yards and several small ponds, and walk in slowly.

There are many red koi in the pond, wagging their tails and swimming gently and slowly, with soft ripples on the water surface.

There are some girls on the side of the road, helping to shovel snow.Su Hanting said that they were all Ying Ran's apprentices.Follow him to learn, and then help him do some chores, similar to the ancient teacher and apprentice, one-on-one, once you recognize this teacher, you will not change.

It is very different from the academic style.

There is a room in the middle, and facing it is an embroidered screen, which is exquisitely embroidered, which is the "Pine Wind High Lying Picture" of the Song Dynasty.

There was a slightly hoarse voice inside: "Is someone coming?"

"teacher?"

Su Hanting took Shu Yubai and walked inside: "You are still busy."

Going around the screen, there is a square mahogany table inside, with complicated patterns and carvings.A middle-aged man was sitting there practicing calligraphy. He was dressed casually, his hair was a little long, and his stubble didn't seem to be clean.

He didn't even raise his head: "Shu Yubai?" He practiced a few more words while pinching the pen, then raised his head: "I heard Nan Xue mentioned you."

Shu Yubai: "Hi, teacher."

"Sit." Ying Ran pointed out that there were two tall chairs in front of his desk, and Shu Yubai and her teacher were sitting there.

"What have you drawn recently? Take a look."

Shu Yubai lowered his head slightly, took out a few works he had drawn before from his backpack, and showed them to Ying Ran.

He looked at them one by one, very quickly.

"This one is not bad."

He squeezed it with his fingers, took out one, and put it in front of Shu Yubai. It was a plum blossom drawn during sketching, and the details were carefully cut out.So he likes works that pay attention to details?Shu Yubai thought so, but Ying Ran said, "It's just that the painting is too detailed."

Shu Yubai: "..."

She nodded quickly: "Okay, teacher, I will correct it next time."

Ying Ran glanced at her, but said nothing.

"How's your hand?"

he asks.

Shu Yubai said softly: "It's still being treated."

"Okay." Ying Ran took a scroll of paintings on the table, tidied them up, and handed them back to Shu Yubai, saying, "Move here tomorrow or today. There is a vacant room here, and you will live here. This year's National Exhibition , you have to go in."

His speech was full of imperative sentences, Shu Yubai nodded quickly, and continued to ask: "Teacher, how do you pay for the tuition?"

Ying Ran looked at her and smiled: "I'll give you a cushion. When you become famous, I'm not in a hurry to pay you back."

Su Hanting on one side was dumbfounded:

Why wasn't she treated like this back then?

That afternoon, Shu Yubai packed his luggage.

This is a building that resembles a courtyard house. Shu Yubai dragged the box, walked inside, and found a place to live.On the south side, there was a room, not too big or too small, which was vacant and unoccupied. She dragged the box in and put it away.

It is actually common for teachers to live together with their students, but this is often the case when time is tight and the workload is heavy, such as rushing to participate in exhibitions, or facing pressure to enter higher education, college entrance examinations, postgraduate entrance examinations, and doctoral examinations.Living close is convenient for 24-hour guidance, and the improvement is faster.

She was sitting by the bed, just about to take a breath when the phone rang, and she picked it up from her bag, it was Nan Xue.

"Hey?"

she says.

The girl over there didn't make a sound for a while, and for a moment, her voice was a little unbelievable: "Sister, did you pull me back?"

"Yeah." Shu Yubai smiled.

It's not because I'm angry that I blocked it.

It was because there was no reply, and after being blocked, she could still delude herself into thinking that maybe she called back, but she didn't receive it because of being blocked.

Shu Yubai lowered his head and smiled softly.

Nan Xue's voice paused, and she asked at the other end: "Sister, are you not at home?"

"Not here."

She stood up, started tidying up the room, and chatted with Nan Xue: "Did you go to my place to find me?"

"Well. Where are you?" Nan Xue was a little anxious: "I'm still waiting downstairs at your house."

The wind was quite strong, and Nan Xue stood there on the phone, wrapping her clothes tightly.Just now when she went up to find Shu Yubai, it was her mother who opened the door.After opening the door, the first sentence is: Xiao Shu is not at home, she has gone to the studio, and she has not come back for a long time.

Nan Xuedang was stunned, as if she didn't understand, she went to the studio, You Fu's room?After going for a long time and not coming back, are they going to start living together?

Immediately, his heart sank, he hurried downstairs, stood in the wind and snow for a long time, his hands were stiff, and then he mustered up the courage to call Shu Yubai.

"Don't tell you."

Shu Yubai looked at Ying Ran's mansion and thought it was funny.

The voice over there paused, and asked softly:

"You're not going to You Fu's studio again, are you?"

Shu Yubai thought for a while: "You guess?"
