what is your vision

Most of the merchants in Art Street are related to the Four Treasures of the Study, plus bookstores and handicraft stores, which are not within the scope of Zhou Yanchuan's interest.With the purpose of accompanying him completely, he waited at most to help Lu Yunchu carry some things.

But after entering one of the stores, his eyes were unconsciously attracted by two items on the shelf, and he walked closer.

Lu Yunchu carefully picked things out, and didn't pay attention to Zhou Yanchuan's movements for a few minutes. When he looked up again, he found him smiling silly at a pair of wooden dolls.

The store they were in had a few handicrafts, and wooden dolls were one of them. The shape was not very special, and the lines were very simple. They had a fat belly, and they had a kind of rustic and clumsy taste.

Lu Yunchu walked behind him, but Zhou Yanchuan didn't notice, he was still staring at the doll with joy in his eyes.

"Very cute." Lu Yunchu whispered in his ear.

"Oh," Zhou Yanchuan glanced at the things in his hand, "Buy it?"

"Ah."

"Let's go." Zhou Yanchuan glanced at "Fat Baby" before turning around.

But Lu Yunchu stopped, and said to the clerk behind the counter, "Please, I still want this pair of dolls."

Zhou Yanchuan was startled: "You want to buy this?"

Lu Yunchu turned to him and asked, "How about leaving it at your house?"

"You want to give it to me?" Zhou Yanchuan was not slow, he immediately understood what he meant, it must be because he was fascinated by watching it just now, and Lu Yunchu had the idea, "No, I'll just watch it."

He seldom buys decorations at ordinary times, and he doesn't think about it. If he has a good eye, he usually just looks at it in the store.

"I think it's good," Lu Yunchu said, "It looks good in your home, on the sideboard or wine cabinet."

"Really?" Zhou Yanchuan didn't study the layout of the room. There are a lot of cabinets in the house, and there are not many things in it. Hearing him say this is a little bit tempting, "Then I will just buy it, and you don't need to spend any more money."

"It's okay," Lu Yunchu first showed the payment code, "Just thank you for being with me during the Chinese New Year."

"That day..." What happened on New Year's Eve, Lu Yunchu seemed to have come out of the shadows, and his mood returned to clarity, but when Zhou Yanchuan recalled it, he still felt unnatural, as if a special chemical reaction had occurred.

In the end, he accepted the "thank you gift" from Lu Yunchu and walked out of the shop together.

The setting sun gathers the last trace of warmth, and the sky is half dark.

"Kid, where is your home?"

As soon as they walked out of the alley on the south side, they ran into a sloppy young man accosting a little girl. The girl was only six or seven years old, and out of fear, she huddled in a corner and said nothing.

"Oh, uncle is really a good man—"

"What kind of good person are you?" Zhou Yanchuan stepped forward to block the little girl, "Tell me and listen."

The law and order in the University City area is relatively guaranteed. This person should not be a human trafficker, but the possibility of bluffing and deceiving cannot be ruled out.In the two nearby elementary schools, some idlers would take advantage of the children's innocence to defraud a small amount of property.

The young man took a step back in a daze and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Zhou Yanchuan glared at the other party silently, and Lu Yunchu also stood over.The girl showed some trust in them, and went straight to hide behind Lu Yunchu.

The man thought he had guessed right, and said sloppily, "I just want to see that she is alone here, so please take care of me." After he finished speaking, he took two steps back, then turned around and ran away quickly.

Nine times out of ten it is a liar.

After he walked away, Lu Yunchu asked the little girl, "Why are you by the roadside alone?"

The girl was not so wary of the two of them, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I just finished my cram school, and my mother said that I was late for something, and asked me to wait for her downstairs."

Behind her is a small four-story building, a restaurant on the first floor, and a signboard of "Blue Eagle Math" hung outside the window on the second floor.

Zhou Yanchuan kept complaining in his heart.The current parents are good enough. The child is in the first grade at most, and he has to come out to make up lessons during the winter vacation;

Lu Yunchu took a look around and saw that the sanitary conditions of the small shops nearby were relatively average, and there was a McDonald's diagonally across the road.He whispered something to Zhou Yanchuan.

Zhou Yanchuan nodded and suggested to the girl: "Would you like to go to McDonald's for a drink with us? You can use my mobile phone to call your mother and ask her to find you on the opposite side."

She began to hesitate again, grabbing the strap of her backpack with her right hand, as if she didn't know whether she should agree or not.

"It's okay. If you are worried, you can just wait here. Don't disclose the situation at home to people you don't know." Zhou Yanchuan handed his mobile phone in front of her. "If you trust us, just make a call."

She stared at the phone for a while, finally nodded and took it.

The two of them didn't deliberately listen to the content of her phone call, but judging from the girl's unhappy tone, it seemed that it would take a while before her mother arrived.

They walked the girl across the street and ordered.While Lu Yunchu was waiting at the counter for food, Zhou Yanchuan sat with the little girl at the window facing the street.This is the most convenient place to observe the street outside, and if her mother arrives, she will be able to find it immediately.

Seeing the girl's expression relax, Zhou Yanchuan spoke to her: "Mom is busy, so what about your other family members, can't they come pick you up?"

"Uncle," she blinked playfully, "you told me, don't disclose the situation at home to people you don't know."

Zhou Yanchuan was choked for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "You are right, uncle is talking too much."

"It's okay, I know you are not bad people," she said, "Dad and mother are divorced, and grandma has bad legs and rarely goes out."

"Is that so." Hearing her reveal her family situation, Zhou Yanchuan was speechless.It was a sensitive topic in the first place, and he himself was never married and had no children, so it was difficult to clarify the twists and turns, and it was inconvenient to comment on it.

Lu Yunchu came back with orange juice and French fries, the little girl was distracted, drank a few sips of orange juice, and chatted with them.

"Uncle, you look like a TV star." She said to Lu Yunchu.

"Thank you."

"How long will it take to grow such long hair?" She stroked the braid on her head, and looked at him enviously.

"About half a year or so."

"Uncle, why are you outside?"

"We're here for shopping." This time it was Zhou Yanchuan who answered.He found that the child was very extroverted by nature, and he only showed strong wariness when he was not familiar with the other party.

The three cups of drinks had bottomed out, and seeing that the sky was going to be completely dark, Zhou Yanchuan thought about calling the parents of the child again, only to see the girl standing up and waving in a certain direction in front of her: "Mom!"

Zhou Yanchuan turned his head inadvertently, his eyes came into contact with the figure outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and the corner of his mouth froze into a smile that he didn't have time to raise.

Liu Qingru has already opened the door and entered.
