be late

-"you guess?"

After Shu Yubai said that, he hung up the phone.

It's so cold.

Shu Yubai's mother only knew that she had gone to the studio, but she couldn't remember which one she was in and who opened it, so she couldn't tell.

Nan Xue was standing downstairs in their community, and several children were running around there, making some noise.She squatted down slowly, her fingers were a little stiff from the cold, curled up there, thought for a while, and then stood up again.

She got into the car and drove to You Fu's studio, but there was no one there.

Another person in the studio opened the door:

"Who are you looking for?"

"You Fu."

she said softly.

The person inside said: "I am her student. The teacher has gone out, something has happened."

After speaking, he closed the door.

Nan Xue walked out.

At this time in the afternoon, there were not many people, and a slanting sun shone on the winter snow, with a faint light, like gold powder.

For a moment, she began to regret it.

She fired the person who hired the follower.

Originally, she just didn't want Shu Yubai's privacy to be known by anyone other than her.But this time, she felt that many things can be mastered without wanting to master them.

She opened WeChat and sent a message to Shu Yubai with a trumpet:

- "Sister, did you go out to play today?"

Shu Yubai replied to her in a while:

- "No, I'm busy."

-picture.

- "Painting, let's talk later."

The picture is the table where she draws, with rice paper, paints, brushes, and many other bits and pieces on it.The gray felt was cushioned underneath, with ink stains oozing faintly.

she is drawing?

Nan Xue replied: Okay, my sister is busy.

She and You Fu should not be together.

But where did she go?

In the days of Yingran Painting Academy, the same schedule was repeated every day. I got up at [-] o'clock in the morning, started painting, practiced some basic things, such as sketching flowers and trees, and then began to create some small paintings.

Ying Ran spends two hours every day checking her practice, giving guidance, and asking her to correct her deficiencies.

Sometimes when I'm busy, I can't really rest until ten o'clock in the evening.

After being busy for a week, Xiao Yi contacted her.

Originally, she also planned to come here, and bought a plane ticket for Shu Yubai by the way.However, Shu Yubai's confession failed, and the plan to leave was advanced, so he came here first.

Xiao Yi refunded Shu Yubai's ticket, and after a while, he came here with his girlfriend.

"How are you doing recently?" Xiao Yi asked her on the phone.

"It's okay." Shu Yubai sat in front of the window and looked out. It happened to be a snow-covered plum blossom, with sparse branches and strong branches. "It's better than before."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi smiled softly:

"Have you come out yet?"

The "come out" she said was of course Nan Xue's matter.

Shu Yubai lowered her eyes and smiled, seeing her long hair hanging on her chest, she pinched a strand with her fingertips: "Well, it's sort of."

Xiao Yi smiled lightly: "Do you still like her?"

like?

Shu Yubai was quiet for a while, without making a sound, and the microphone was breathing lightly.Her soft eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long time, she said, "It's not important."

"Ah."

Xiao Yi didn't refute, just said: "There is one more thing, can you help me?"

"what?"

Xiao Yi: "I have a friend, a girl, please let me find her a girlfriend. She has been single for many years and wants to try the feeling of being in love."

in love?

Shu Yubai probably guessed what she wanted to do.

It's about arranging a blind date.

Xiao Yi arranged this kind of thing for her, mostly for her sake, she told herself before that the way to forget an old relationship is to start a new one.Xiao Yi probably felt that she was very sad, and wanted her to start meeting new people, so that she could get out of it quickly.

But come out and forget, it's not that easy.

I haven't broken off the old relationship yet, and started a new one, which is quite irresponsible to both parties.

She had a feeling that it was ridiculous, if Xiao Yi was talking about introducing someone to her, she could have refused, but when she opened her mouth, she said "help", it would be bad if she refused.

Shu Yubai was slightly confused.

Xiao Yi said: "Just meet her and have a meal."

"..."

"She's pretty, in case you feel it."

"No need." Shu Yubai bowed his head: "I'm not in the mood to fall in love right now."

"Not interested?"

Xiao Yi smiled: "Come on, at this age, it's a lie to say that you don't care. You go and try it, what will happen?"

"Nothing."

Shu Yubai said: "It's just not necessary."

Xiao Yi: "She's really pretty, she's a doctor, and she has a good personality, much better than your straight girl. What's more, even if you don't want to talk about it, it's always good to meet her and talk about your hands .”

"..."

Doctor again?

The probability of meeting a doctor these days is a bit high.

Shu Yubai was silent for a moment, and argued: "I just thought, since I have no intention of falling in love, going to have dinner with someone else would be a waste of her time and energy, which is not good."

"How was it wasted?"

Xiao Yi smiled: "She also just wants to find someone to try, not necessarily to talk to. This guy is just joking, he has never been in a relationship, and he hasn't made it clear about his sexual orientation yet."

"That's it."

Since the other party just held an indifferent attitude, Shu Yubai's psychological pressure was not so great.Her mind was all on drawing, and when she heard this, she just smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a meal."

"When are you free?"

Xiao Yi said, "I'll tell her to get ready."

Shu Yubai looked at the schedule for the week, almost all of them were full, only Saturday was free.

"Saturday?"

"Row."

Friday night.

Ying Ran has a lot of things to do and is very busy. Staying in the heated room in such a cold weather makes her easy to get sleepy and forget some things.He wrote and painted there for a week, and suddenly remembered that he had accepted his niece's good friend as an apprentice.

This is a small favor.

He sent Nan Xue a message:

Ying Ran: By the way, girl.

Ying Ran: Your friend named Shu Yubai draws with me.

Ying Ran: Come and play when you have time.

To him, Nan Xue was just a child, and a child who owed a little.Her mother didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a mother and abandoned her when she was so young. As an uncle, he always wanted to make it up to her mother.

The message went out.

When Nan Xue saw these messages, it happened to be Saturday. She got off work, thinking of Shu Yubai, and hurriedly drove to her uncle's residence.

The agreed restaurant was an authentic Hangzhou restaurant. Shu Yubai went out and hailed a car at the gate of Ying Ran's courtyard. After reporting the location, he unconsciously looked out the window.

On Saturday, after [-] o'clock at noon, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the branches of tall sycamore trees were densely packed, pointing to the sky.

The road is a bit slippery.

In the distance, you can see the soft lake water and the blue sky.

From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a car, which looked familiar, and was following behind her.She wanted to take a closer look, but the driver suddenly stopped her: "Go to that restaurant, right?"

When the driver asked, Shu Yubai turned his head and came back to his senses: "Yes."

Looking out the window again, the car was gone.

"Ok."

He hits the gas pedal.

There was a strong smell in the car, and the driver was driving in a hurry, always slamming on the brakes, Shu Yubai was shaken to the point of motion sickness, closed his eyes and rested, and stopped looking out the window.

The phone rang.

Shu Yubai glanced at the screen in a daze, it was Nan Xue.

Just as she was about to pick it up, she passed an intersection and was waiting for a traffic light when the driver slammed on the brakes. She leaned forward suddenly, pressed her finger on the screen, and hung up inadvertently.

Shu Yubai: "..."

If there is something urgent, she will still call.

Shu Yubai closed his eyes again.

The restaurant is by the lake, and reservations are required.It was lunch time, and there were many customers. The tables and chairs outside and the stone benches by the lake were full of people.From time to time, the sound at the entrance of the restaurant made a ding-ding-dong-dong sound, indicating that the customers who are waiting in line can enter to eat.

When Shu Yubai arrived, Xiao Yi waved to her at the door: "Go in?"

"Have you already made it?"

"Ah."

"Is she here too?"

"Yes, come with me."

There was a woman sitting by the window.

She turned sideways, propped her head, and looked out.

Shu Yubai was standing by the snowy lake. She was wearing an ordinary lake blue knitted sweater, which was very loose, with some white accents on the waist, her long hair was loose, and she carried a small silver bag on her shoulder. The black trousers showed her legs The lines are beautiful.

What a coincidence.

She watched Shu Yubai enter the door, and the two looked at each other. After being slightly surprised, Shu Yubai also smiled when he saw that it was her: "What a coincidence."

Xiao Yi: "Do you know each other?"

"I know."

Shu Yubai sat down.

The table for four is near the floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside, there is a snowy lakeside scene, a vast expanse of white.The store was very lively, and there were no empty seats. A straw hat-like lamp was hung on the top, and the warm halo shone down, outlining the outline of the woman more clearly.

"Hey, I'm talking about her." Xiao Yi said.

Shu Yubai couldn't help laughing.

The person on the opposite side also looked at her and smiled softly.

She has flaxen curly hair, slightly curly, and the length of the hair ends just below the chest.The skin is very white, as white as a mixed race, and the eyes are bright and friendly.The red lips are very thin, and the corners of the lips are slightly raised.

It was supposed to be an embarrassing meal, but at this moment, the thin layer of ice melted instantly.

"You know each other?" Xiao Yi asked.

"I met once a few days ago." Shu Yubai said, "In a gallery."

"Fate." Xiao Yi looked at the person opposite and said softly, "Her name is Tang Ruoyan."

"It's nice to meet again." The woman picked up a cup of barley tea and took a sip, "Will you write down my phone number?" She reported a series of numbers and looked at Shu Yubai quietly.

"Okay, I'll make a note."

Shu Yubai lowered his eyes, tapped the screen lightly with his fingertips, and wrote down a string of phone numbers.

After the recording was completed, she switched back to the main screen, only to see another missed call.

There are many people here and it is a bit noisy. She just turned down the volume of the phone. On such an occasion, it is difficult to hear the ringtone from the phone hidden in the bag.

She glanced at the caller information.

It's Nan Xue.

She had already called once in the taxi just now, but at that time, Shu Yubai didn't answer.

This is the second call today.

Does she really have something important to do?Shu Yu Bai Xian tapped lightly with his fingertips and dialed out the phone.

Beep, beep, beep.

At this moment.

A series of familiar bells rang, and Shu Yubai subconsciously looked for the source of the sound. On the left was the floor-to-ceiling windows and the lakeshore outside, and on the right was another table.

The corridor is separated by a screen, and the left and right do not interfere with each other.She looked back to the right, and saw a pair of black and white eyes separated by many intricately carved patterns, with clear eyes and indifferent eyes.
