Forbidden

Cheng Suran couldn't sleep well and had a nightmare.

I dreamed that I was being chased by a thick and black python, and I was running wildly in the jungle. I couldn't keep up with my physical strength, and when I turned around, I saw the giant python open its mouth——

Then she woke up startled.

Opening her eyes, her mind was blank for a few seconds. She moved her hands and feet, and her back felt sore and swollen, and she couldn't help but let out a soft breath.

"Cough cough—"

Throat dry, voice a little hoarse.

She climbed out of the bed with her arms on her arms, and looked around. This was the room where her sister lived, and she was still the only one, and she herself had nothing.

Bowing his head and then raising his head, Cheng Suran sat there blankly, his brain gradually became clear, and the memories of last night flooded in...

Is that person really my sister?Can a person change his face really so fast?

Indifferent, fierce, merciless.

But why not?That's just the benefactor. If she is in a bad mood, she can take her anger out at will, and she can't have any complaints. Afterwards, she still has to please, cling, and greet her with a smile.This is the fate of the canary.

She comforted herself that this was a job, and there was no way she would not look at the face of the leader and not be bullied by life when working outside. She understood the truth very early on.

Cheng Suran laughed at himself and climbed out of bed.

At 08:30, the morning light outside the window was dim, and the things on the table remained as they were, but the computer had no power and automatically shut down.

She didn't forget that she had class at ten o'clock today, so she couldn't be late, so she hurriedly packed her things, drank some water, and went back to the bathroom of her room to wash up.

Look at yourself in the mirror while brushing your teeth.

The eyes are slightly swollen and lack energy. Although there are no new marks, the old marks have not disappeared. The hair is also messy and fluffy like freshly washed fried hair. I sweated last night and felt uncomfortable.Like a scrapped toy.

She suddenly stopped, and tears flowed out without warning...

The second the class bell rang, Cheng Suran stepped into the classroom.

In the professional class, the front row was almost full. She met the eyes of many students and walked to the back row, found a seat by the window, and lowered her head to flip through the book.

She has no particularly close friends in class, and keeps a polite and polite social distance with everyone. She is usually busy with part-time jobs and studies, hardly participates in group activities, and is used to being alone.For a long time, everyone thought she was cold and arrogant, difficult to get along with, and treated her as a "familiar stranger".

As for roommates...

Cheng Suran looked up at Ding Yuan and Li Meiling who were sitting in the third row.

Ordinary, just roommates.

Graduation is like never seen before.

For the whole class, Cheng Suran was absent-minded.Probably because I didn't get a good rest last night, and I cried for a long time in the morning, my eyes were sore and dry, I felt uncomfortable after watching the projection for a long time, and I couldn't listen to what the teacher was saying.

Just like this, I stayed up until noon after class.

Walking out of the classroom, Cheng Suran quickened his pace, just wanting to go back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep.

"Of course..." Ding Yuan chased up from behind, "What's wrong with you? You feel listless, are you uncomfortable?"

Cheng Suran had to slow down, pulled himself together and squeezed out a smile: "No, it's because I went to bed too late yesterday, and I was a little sleepy."

Going down to the corner of the stairs, a large piece of sunlight came in from the window, shining on her innocent little face without the slightest color, but her eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, literally, like a vampire crawling out of a coffin.

Ding Yuan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, Meiling said that you haven't returned to the dormitory these two nights..."

"Well, I forgot to tell you that I rented a small house outside, and I only go back to the dormitory occasionally." Cheng Suran reacted quickly, and yawned while lying, making it impossible to suspect him.

But such an important thing was indeed forgotten by her.

He always stays out all night, and there is no explanation, which inevitably arouses suspicion.Although she is a junior and the school is not strictly controlled, if someone makes irresponsible remarks in private, it will cause her trouble.

The relationship in the dormitory was awkward, she didn't know how to bring it up, and her roommate came to ask, but it gave her a step up.

"Oh, won't Meiling be the only one in the dormitory from now on? Hahaha—" Ding Yuan turned her head with a smile.

She is a local, her home is not far from the school, and she has money. She is picked up by car. She has not been in the dormitory often since her freshman year. The bunk is just a place to store things.In addition, she has a lot of friends, and she usually goes out to play outside of class, and she doesn't know about many things that happen in the dormitory.

Li Meiling followed behind without saying a word, and looked at Cheng Suran suspiciously.

"..."

When the three walked out of the building, Ding Yuan glanced at the flower garden, her tone suddenly excited: "My boyfriend is here, let's go first~" She trotted towards the tall and thin boy.

Cheng Suran also walked away quickly.

Jiang Yu disappeared from Cheng Suran's world again.

Like last time, I didn't respond to messages for a few days, didn't go to the hotel, and evaporated unilaterally.This time, Cheng Suran didn't dare to send frequent messages to disturb him, and he didn't ask Assistant Tian any more. He went to class step by step every day and did his own thing.

She made plans for herself.

This semester, she will concentrate on preparing for the DALF-C1 exam and taking French translation classes. She has part-time experience in translation, and it will be much easier to practice.

In the next semester, most of the students will go on exchange, but she plans to stay in China to take the CATTI English "Erbi" and "Erkou" exams, and go to France for an exchange year in her senior year, and then go to the school there to continue her graduate studies.

If you can't get a scholarship, you have to pay for the tuition and living expenses yourself, which is a lot of money.

Although the future is full of hope, the pressure is not small.Thinking of this, she became more motivated to study, put herself into it, and put her messy thoughts behind her...

An autumn rain fell, the wind blew away the heat, and the temperature turned slightly cooler.

The golden osmanthus trees planted on campus are blooming.

There was no class in the afternoon, and Cheng Suran was sitting in the library brushing up questions, concentrating, when the phone screen suddenly lit up and received a WeChat message.She unlocked it and clicked in, and caught a glimpse of the familiar gray and black head.

It is the gold master.

A positioning message, followed by another: Urgent, come here.

She was stunned.

The word "sister" in the remark was reflected in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of that stormy night, and there seemed to be a dull pain somewhere.

An unspeakable complex feeling welled up in my heart.

She blinked, took a deep breath, looked at the questions she hadn't finished, didn't dare to delay, immediately closed the book, packed up her things, and left with her bag on her back.

The location was a company called SIENAMODEL, Cheng Suran didn't have time to call and ask the driver to come over, so he took a taxi at the school gate and left.Along the way, she was not sure what the urgent matter was, and she was even a little anxious, thinking of the painful situation that night, she became more and more anxious.

About half an hour later, I arrived at the company.

After getting off the car, Cheng Suran saw Assistant Tian waiting at the door, who saw her and came up to her, "Miss Cheng, the boss has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Excuse me, what is it?" Cheng Suran asked cautiously.

Assistant Tian smiled formulaically: "You will know when you go up."

She led the way, and Cheng Suran obediently followed behind, looking at him curiously.

The company's design style is very simple, with a large area of ​​white, gray, and camel solid colors combined with simple and neat lines, without too much decoration, sufficient light, and a wide field of vision. The overall look is bright and transparent.

On the right side of the hall is the model card wall, which is covered with photos of models, with ever-changing shapes and styles.

Take the elevator up to the third floor and walk through a long hallway with a white door at the end.Assistant Tian pushed the door open and entered, and said to the inside, "Sister Yu, we're here."

Cheng Suran stepped in nervously.

The room is large and dark, the gray curtain hangs down from the ceiling, several square round giant headlights stand tall, the soft white light shines on the curtain, there is a camera on the tripod in front of it, and a sofa is placed on the side. , desk chair and computer.

More than a dozen gazes swept over at the same time.

Cheng Suran caught sight of Jiang Yu standing next to the computer.

She is wearing a neatly tailored black suit and wide-leg trousers of the same color, with one hand in the pocket of the trousers. She has thick black half-curled long hair. She is tall and straight, with a rich rust red on her lips, which is not a bit of a cold charm. amorous feelings.

Those deep eyes are like boundless black holes.

Cheng Suran met her gaze, his breath was stagnant, and his heart beat suddenly, as if there was a huge gravitational force tearing him apart.

"Little friend, come—" the man waved with a faint smile.

The girl stepped forward obediently.

Jiang Yu took her wrist, turned around and walked to another woman, "Qi Yan, what do you think of her? Is it suitable?"

The other party was fiddling with the camera. Hearing the sound, he raised his head, looked up and down Cheng Suran, and then circled around her with a surprised expression on his face. He slapped his hands and said, "It fits so well! Hurry up, change clothes, and change the shape." !"

"Sister..." Cheng Suran didn't understand what they were talking about, and looked at the people around him suspiciously.

Jiang Yu led her to the side corner until he stopped, stared at her with lowered eyes, and said softly, "Today my sister would like to ask you to be a model."

please-

She even said the word "please" to her.

"But I'm not tall enough..."

"Plane models, you don't need to go on the catwalk. Ask the photographer to take a few photos of you, put them in a magazine, and then pay you, okay?" Jiang Yu raised his hand to stroke the girl's soft hair, and his indifferent eyebrows dyed smiled.

As gentle as before, as if indifference had never existed.

Cheng Suran's eyelashes trembled, and when he looked into those deep pool-like eyes, he couldn't help but think of the situation that night again, his heart stabbed, and a sour feeling surged up, full of grievances.

My waist seems to be sore again, my throat seems to be astringent again, and there seems to be pain there again.

What is she counting on?

Could it be that the benefactor should apologize to her?

"Ok?"

"it is good……"

"I'll go there and change in a moment," Jiang Yu turned sideways, pointed to the small room opposite, and then turned back, "then the makeup artist and stylist will help you with makeup and styling, and you can pose as they said. Well, it's easy."

"My sister will be by your side."

Although she was smiling, it was only on the surface, the smile didn't catch her eyes, and her expression was no longer the kind of pampering that she used to tease with small animals. Instead, she was doing it out of habit, wearing a mask.

The girl nodded obediently, but her heart trembled, always feeling that something had changed.

……

It was the first time for Cheng Suran to take photos in the studio. He was illuminated by a few strange headlights and stared at by more than a dozen people. He was inevitably a little nervous.She thought she had screwed up, but she didn't expect that the photographer wanted this effect——

Green and tender, jerky, slightly cramped, faintly revealing the taste of pure desire.

The filming process went smoothly.

It didn't end until the sun was about to set.

Cheng Suran was taken to the office by Jiang Yu before he could take off his makeup and change his clothes.

"Sister..." Sitting on the sofa, she couldn't help but look around, "Is this your company?"

The office style is still simple, mainly in beige and light coffee colors, embellished with lines, and the large crystal glass curtain wall is visually horizontal and vertical, with a perfect blend of cold and warm.

"Ah."

Jiang Yu responded lightly, picked up the orange-red paper box on the desk, and gently put it in front of her, "You worked hard today, a reward for the children."

The LOGO of a certain luxury brand is printed on the box.

Cheng Suran was stunned.

"Salary... just double the standard of the company's newcomers." Jiang Yu sat on the single sofa next to him, with his long legs languidly draped, his fingers twitching quickly on the phone screen, and then, WeChat turned paid 3000 yuan.

"Sister, can I not have this reward?"

"why?"

Cheng Suran pursed her lips, looked away from the paper box, and whispered, "It's too expensive, I don't need it."

As soon as the words fell, the air froze.

The room was suddenly silent.

"It will come in handy."

"I……"

Jiang Yu looked at her coldly, and said casually, "Can't you sell it for money?"
