Red Dust and Sand Sculpture

At first, the topics were mainly embroidery, and then diverged to hair care and skin care.Li Xiangfu sat in the middle cautiously, avoiding physical contact with the girls around him.

"I haven't paid special attention to it." He said with a helpless smile, "Probably more natural factors."

The girl on the left answered subconsciously: "There is still some trick, or you will inherit it from your brothers and sisters."

Li Xichun not far away: "..."

The girl regretted her slip of the tongue and looked around guiltily. After seeing Li Xichun, she turned her eyes away in embarrassment.

She really didn't mean it, let alone think that Li Xichun's skin is bad.On the contrary, the other party's skin is quite delicate, a vivid portrayal of white and rich beauty.

Unfortunately, compared with Li Xiangfu, there is still some gap.

Li Xiangfu is a special case of skin that is white enough to glow. That kind of translucence and special effects may not be possible, and it belongs to the kind that has been seen for a long time.

·

Everyone has the eyes to discover beauty, except Luo An and Yuan Boyuan.

Luo An couldn't protect himself, so he didn't pay attention to Yuan Boyuan's face. He had slandered Qin Jin presumptuously before, but now he's dizzy with enthusiasm, leaving only fear.

Yuan Boyuan sneered: "This is your seamless plan?"

The plan failed, and it was impossible to seek benefits from Yuan Boyuan, and Luo An didn't give him a punching bag, just discussing the matter: "If we don't step on Li Xiangfu, things can be done."

He finally understood that Li Xiangfu had evolved into a Gu after returning from studying abroad this time, and if he wanted to strangle him to death, he had to be prepared to be backlashed.

At Bian Shiqin's birthday party, Yuan Boyuan was not easy to get angry, thinking that this vicious villain might have another magical purpose, so he didn't tear off the mask of hypocrisy on the spot.

The two stood in an inconspicuous place, and the occasional communication was very low.

Li Xichun has been paying attention from the corner of his eyes, his eyes can't help but darken, and the phone rings without looking at who it is, and he directly connects it.

"How is things going?" Mr. Li is more concerned about his children's marriage than he was about his career when he was young.

Li Xichun said truthfully: "Little brother is unexpectedly popular with girls."

Before the old man over there was happy for a second, she told the cruel truth: "But they all seem to have other plans."

Mr. Li disagrees: "The family background to attend the birthday party will not be too bad..."

Facts speak louder than words. After hanging up, Li Xichun played the video directly, and the camera was aimed at Li Xiangfu surrounded by many beauties: "Did you see it?"

Girls are open and generous in the process of getting along, and they don't shy away from topics.

"Look this way again."

Li Xichun turned the camera to a few men, who seemed to be drinking, but actually took a quick glance at Li Xiangfu from time to time, and quickly lowered their heads guiltily, with complicated emotions hidden in their cautious eyes.

"..."

At the same time, Li Xichun briefly finished what happened just now: "They seem to have suddenly discovered some of my little brother's characteristics."

Beautiful and talented.

After hearing this, Mr. Li remembered something that he had not seen for a long time. Not long ago, when Li Anqing rushed to the ancient village, he sent a photo, praising Li Xiangfu's cooking skills.

In retrospect, this uneasy young son seems to have mastered a lot of skills abroad.

Li Xichun didn't hear the other party speak for a long while, thinking he was stuck, he tentatively called 'Dad. '

Just as Mr. Li was about to speak, the lights suddenly dimmed slightly. Bian Shiqin got up to touch up his makeup. Someone was pushing a birthday car and was about to come out in time.

"I'll hang up first." Li Xichun said quickly, "The birthday party is about to start."

When Bian Shiqin reappeared as the protagonist, everyone's attention naturally shifted to her.

Li Xiangfu breathed a sigh of relief, in such a short time, he couldn't remember how many chat accounts he added.

Looking around, Qin Jin was nowhere to be seen, and suddenly remembered that Qin Jin and Mr. Bian had made an appointment for tea during the video call. They probably still had something to talk about, so Li Xiangfu sent a message to express his gratitude for what happened just now.

He and Li Xichun didn't need to make contacts here, they were a group of people who left relatively early, and they were still in time for dinner when they returned.

Li Xichun: "Where's An Qing?"

Aunt Zhang just brought the food to the table, and she smiled and said, "His habit hasn't changed over the years, and he doesn't like dinner very much."

Li Xiangfu ordered a bowl of porridge, trying to suppress the sweetness left by the previous cake.

At the dinner table, Mr. Li suddenly said, "I heard that you gave away a pair of double-sided embroidery."

Li Xiangfu looked natural, but the hand holding the chopsticks was hard to notice for a moment.

He nodded: "Yes."

Mr. Li frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Before the atmosphere fell into silence, Li Xichun easily changed the topic: "Two days ago I was still thinking about whether to persuade Dad to donate a building to the university you study in."

Embroidery is not a skill that can be mastered overnight, but after all, Mr. Li has not seen the impact of the gift with his own eyes. After hearing this, his short-term doubts dissipated, and he said slowly: "A university can also teach people to sing, dance, play the piano and embroider at the same time. When I am a few years younger, I may go to further studies."

Li Xiangfu said truthfully: "The mentor is relatively strict, and your stubborn temper probably won't be welcomed."

Li Shasha, who has been eating quietly, said bluntly: "I will be beaten to death."

"..."

Li Xichun glared at the two of them, and continued to smooth things over: "Don't make jokes."

·

The birthday party is where the trouble begins.

At least for Li Xiangfu.

It's okay to say one or two talents, but it will inevitably lead to suspicion if there are too many.

When Li Shasha came back from school, he saw the beautiful man leaning against the window frowning, and said, "No matter how suspicious others are, they won't be connected to time travel."

"It's not because of this." Li Xiangfu opened the chat interface, and five or six unread messages were displayed on it: "Everyone is looking for me to chat..."

Just then there was another friend request.

Li Shasha: "It can be treated cold."

Li Xiangfu shook his head: "It's all about the world."

There are still many people who have business dealings with their families.

Li Shasha expressed understanding: "It's like the classmates in the class like to come to me when they have nothing to do. I can't say harsh words yet."

Li Xiangfu chuckled lightly with a half-smile.

"They are copying homework." Li Shasha remained expressionless.

At any rate, he was facing people of the same age. In contrast, Li Xiangfu found comfort.

The days are still going on, and in most of the chats, Li Xiangfu is the output party, such as helping others design artwork or color matching.Fortunately, few people repeatedly asked him for help, and he would send thank you gifts from time to time.

Therefore, the living room is piled up with many couriers that have not been unpacked in time.

"The blue face is a disaster..."

Mr. Li passed by, and when he saw Li Xichun eating potato chips without any image, he almost frowned.

Before the other party could preach, Li Xichun sat up twisting like a caterpillar, a little reserved.Finding Li Xiangfu standing at the entrance for a long time, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Why are you in a daze?"

Li Xiangfu said nothing perfunctorily, then turned around and took one of the couriers upstairs.

There are several photos in the box, the pixels are not very high, it can be seen that they were secretly photographed at the birthday party.There are scenes of him standing alone in a corner drinking cocktails, and there are scenes of him talking with Qin Jin, but the last one is a photo taken when he went to school to pick up Li Shasha from school.

After reading it, Li Xiangfu picked up his phone and poked a profile picture.

It was only a few days before the two became friends. At that time, the other party's remark message was [The little lion is embroidered beautifully], and he did not think much about it through the friend request.

Just 10 minutes ago, this person sent three messages in a row, urging him to unpack a green package.

There is very little effective information in the information, and even the WeChat nickname is only a perfunctory '-'.

Li Xiangfu was stunned for a short while, '-' sent three more messages in a row.

[-: Do you like the gift I gave you? ]

[-: You are very photogenic. ]

[-: I want to go to your house to play with you secretly. ]

Li Shasha opened the door and came in to pick up the fallen robot, bent down to pick up a photo on the ground, stared at it for two seconds and said, "Dad, you have an illegitimate meal."

Li Xiangfu considered the possibility of calling the police and catching someone.

'-' seems to have the ability to spy on other people's hearts through different spaces:

[-: Can't find mine. ]

[-: If you don’t believe me, try it. ]

Li Shasha watched it closely and said, "He is desperately looking for a sense of presence."

Li Xiangfu nodded and took an attitude of ignoring it.

[-: I want to see you, want to see you like crazy. ]

[-: Can we meet?But the time and place are up to me. ]

No reply was received, '-' actually sent a semi-nude photo, there was a deep scar on his back, and a little pattern could be seen on his shoulder, which seemed to be a tattoo.

Without a face, the identity cannot be determined.

Li Shasha further analyzed: "The personality is extreme, blindly ignoring the violent impulse that may arouse the other party."

Li Xiangfu didn't reply until 10 minutes later: [Excuse me, do you have straight hair or curly hair? ]

[-: micro volume. ]

Li Xiangfu shook his head: [Do you smoke? ]

[-:Occasionally. ]

Li Xiangfu typed quickly: [Sorry, for personal reasons, I don’t want to make friends with people who smoke, burn their hair and have tattoos. ]

In the Nvzun Country, there are only two kinds of people who can get tattoos, one is prisoners, and the other is brothel men.The former has an ax tattooed on his forehead, while the latter has a tattoo on his back neck.

Most people who perm their heads are foreigners, and they will also be discriminated against.

There is also a kind of cigarette in Nvzun Country, which is mostly smoked by women.If a man has an overly strong smell, the strong smell is indecent, and the smell of smoke will be viewed in a strange light.

Li Xiangfu has seen too many tragic stories in the past, and every time he sees one, he will think of one of them, which only adds to his sadness.

'-' Don't give up, keep asking him what he means.

Li Xiangfu: [Are you willing to change for me? ]

[-:? ? ? ]

Li Xiangfu began to complain: [I have ptsd, you said you want to see me, why are you not willing to make this little sacrifice! ]

[-:I do not quite understand……]

Li Xiangfu sneered: [Shut up, you fake fan! ]

In Li Shasha's rare surprised face, he said calmly: "Only extremes can cure extremes."

The illegitimate meal has come to an end for now.

For three days in a row, '-' didn't send any more messages. Li Xiangfu thought it was time to block the person, and the other party should not have an overreaction.

His finger was about to hit the delete key when the knock on the door stopped him.

Li Xiangfu got up to open the door, and was a little surprised when he saw Li Anqing: "Second brother?"

Li Anqing went directly to the topic: "There has been new progress in the kidnapping case. Following the clues given by the kidnappers, the police found another contact person."

Li Xiangfu's heart skipped a beat: "Who is it?"

"The connector is just a middleman." Li Anqing glanced at him: "The gathering activities disrupted the plans of the people behind the scenes. If you want to find a middleman in a short period of time, you have to arrange everything. There will inevitably be omissions."

Li Xiangfu heard that his sight was erratic, which is probably what Qin Jin said about the importance of seizing the opportunity.

Li Anqing pondered and said: "The middleman and the employer usually communicate through video on the dark web. According to him, the other party is wearing a thunder mask and seems to have tattoos on his shoulders. The police just called to ask if you know anyone with similar characteristics. "

Li Xiangfu wondered why he didn't call himself.

Li Anqing: "You left the mobile phone number issued by the event party. Fortunately, you also reserved an emergency contact."

"..."

Li Xiangfu returned to the topic and brought up the matter of tattoos.

Li Anqing was very strict: "I just said that I saw a little outline from the collar, not necessarily a tattoo."

Li Xiangfu never believed in excessive coincidences, so he hurriedly swiped to the photo at the top of the chat history, pointed to the shoulder part: "Look here."

Li Anqing narrowed her eyes slightly, and continued to scroll down.

Li Xiangfu turned around and sat down, put his arm on the back of the chair and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't know what the deep hatred is. The people behind the scenes would rather make troubles intermittently than have a good time..."

Li Anqing looked up at him.

Li Xiangfu's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Whenever my life is just on the right track, he will come to break the peace, then play and disappear, and then reappear after a while..."

Li Anqing didn't say anything to comfort her, she focused on the chat record again, and said softly, "You must have misunderstood this point."

"Ok?"

"In the ancient village, the other party once found someone to kidnap, and you sent the kidnapper to the hospital after being drunk. This time he decided to meet in person, but you are quite demanding..."

"Don't smoke, don't drink, don't burn your head..." Li Anqing finished reading the elements mentioned in the chat message, and said in a calm voice: "Thinking about the bright side, maybe people are busy getting tattoos done in the hospital."

The author has something to say: People behind the scenes: I have never seen so many things happen!
