because i'm pretty

Yuan Zhiming shook off the rainwater from his body, changed his clothes, and stood in front of the window for a while.

Feng Xin called and wanted to keep him from leaving.Yuan Zhiming told him the truth about his considerations, but beautified his retreat.

"He Gu Changfeng is indeed more promising..." Feng Xin sighed, "But it is also very dangerous, you have to think about it."

"I've figured it out," Yuan Zhiming took off a piece of paint on the window edge, "Thank you."

"I thank you," Feng Xin said, "you have indeed solved a big problem for me, but I don't mean to hope you leave, Xiaoyuan, if you want to return to Miaojia in the future, I will always be openforyou."

Yuan Zhiming hung up the phone, feeling a little lighter.

He never thought that Feng Xin would tell himself this frankly - if so, the value of this choice may be even more.

He never took out the contract in his schoolbag. In fact, even if he read it, Yuan Zhiming didn't quite understand it.

If Li Yikai was here, he would analyze everything, right?He flipped through a few pages and felt that this idea was absurd. How could Li Yikai help him read the contract he had compromised?

Thinking of this, there were two bang bang bang bangs outside the door, and he put down the contract in his hand-if it wasn't the demolition team, there was only one person.

"What thefuck!" Lucifer rushed in wearing slippers and yelled at Yuan Zhiming, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Zhiming suddenly felt guilty, and looked at him with wide eyes: "What?"

"You know what I'm talking about." Lucifer walked over in two steps, picked up the contract directly from the table, and said to him with a clatter: "It's fine if you want to sign a manager. Sold to such profiteers?"

"How did you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know, I know everything," Lucifer gasped, "No signing, Yuan Zhiming, you are selling your soul to the devil, you are helping the evildoers, and helping capitalism to squeeze and create surplus value. Pollution of the pure art space, making oneself an accomplice."

"It's not like that," Yuan Zhiming said. "Give it back to me, and I'll explain it to you."

"No, I won't", Lucifer not only refused verbally, but even made a gesture to tear up the contract.

Yuan Zhiming felt that Lucifer could do such a thing, so he took a step forward and wanted to take it back from him directly.

But when Lucifer saw this, he became even more angry and nervous. He looked at Yuan Zhiming incredulously, and his anger was particularly abrupt in the shock. Several slices.

"I think this is a bit too much...but you can't sign this kind of contract of sale," Lucifer muttered to himself, grabbing a handful of white paper in each hand.

Yuan Zhiming no longer had the strength to argue with him, not even to scold him.

The two of them looked at each other silently for a moment, he bowed his head in a daze for a while, and decided to explain to Lucifer: "I didn't sign the deed of sale."

"what?"

"This is just an authorization for a single work." Even so, Yuan Zhiming couldn't refute Lucifer's anger, the difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps.

"Did Li Yikai tell you? What else did he tell you?" Yuan Zhiming asked.

Lucifer pieced together the papers in his hands, calmed down a little, and shut his mouth tightly when he heard this sentence, expressing that he was a person who kept his promise and would never betray it.

Yuan Zhiming didn't ask any more questions, and didn't care about the contract. Although the plan was interrupted, such a sudden accident made him feel relieved.

……

"I'm sorry," he said to Lucifer.

"Don't apologize to me, what I need more is for you to dispel this idea." Lucifer looked at him seriously, "Even if it's like what you said, how can you be sure that the old man promised you this time, and he will do it again in the future?" Will he use other tricks? I think he will continue to find ways to control you."

"I know", Yuan Zhiming sat on the ground, raised his head after a while, and a trace of water flashed in his eyes: "But maybe I can't take care of so much."

"What do you mean?"

Yuan Zhiming gently closed his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, a message popped up on his phone.

The dinner party ended much earlier than before. Zhao Kaisi arranged a lot of medical examination procedures the next day, and had to get up and leave before midnight.

Li Yikai drove him, and it started to rain again. Zhao Kaisi sat in the co-pilot and asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

"What?" Li Yikai tilted his head slightly, and after realizing it, he smiled and said, "It's a little exaggerated to say that you don't want to part with it, but it's a little bit."

Zhao Kaisi also smiled: "You really are, it's not like you won't come back."

"Well, I'm still a little envious. I remember when we were in school, and I envy you for having the courage to go back to school..." Li Yikai said.

"Thank you, but I didn't mean to ask this." Zhao Kaisi sat upright and looked at him again. "I think you are absent-minded because of your quarrel with Xiaoyuan, right? I think you called Lucifer...you two Is there anything that can't be said directly?"

Li Yikai pressed his fingers on the steering wheel, leaving a depression in the rubber ring. He was silent for a while and said, "The problem is that you have talked about everything, but you don't think the same way."

Yuan Zhiming made it very clear, but he couldn't accept it; he told the other party what he wanted to express, but Yuan Zhiming couldn't agree with it either.

The relationship between two people is like peeling an onion. The difference on the outside is irrelevant to them, but the similarity on the inside makes people ecstatic.But another layer was peeled off, but they didn't expect it to be the result of mutual stinging.

Li Yikai held it in his hand, he was reluctant to throw it away and did not dare to move rashly.

Peeling off another layer, he hoped it was a false alarm, but he was even more afraid of seeing the thorn at the source.

Zhao Kai wanted to persuade him a few words, but he couldn't find any good words after searching.

When he got off the car, he could only say: "Although I think Xiao Yuan is pretty good, if you really think it's inappropriate, you can't force it. It's more important to be happy when you're in a relationship, right?"

"Yes," Li Yikai nodded and raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry about me, I won't."

"That's right," Zhao Kai thought, "then if you really have difficulties at work, please tell me at any time, maybe I can help you make more connections at school."

"It's still more practical." Li Yikai got out of the car with him, and lightly hammered Zhao Kaisi's shoulder with his fist: "Don't worry."

Friendship cannot solve the problem of love, but it can temporarily relieve the pain.Li Yikai got into the car and forced himself to face and deal with the past two days, but he couldn't come to a conclusion - but he wanted to wait for Lucifer's call, there might still be opportunities and misunderstandings.

But the news from Lucifer was delayed, but Qiu He received it first.

"Xiao Ming wants to sign a contract with Gu Changfeng?" Qiu He asked directly.

Li Yikai paused, noncommittal, and asked, "Where did you know that?"

"A friend from the reporter interviewed Gu Changfeng today and asked me about Yuan Zhiming, saying that he is Gu Changfeng's favorite newcomer!" Qiu He became more and more anxious as he spoke, almost in a reproachful tone: "You all said he would have his own Judgment, but is this his judgment? Or do you not see Gu Changfeng clearly?"

Li Yikai felt ashamed when he heard that, and the hope in his heart was getting colder. He had to admit: "I didn't persuade him, but he, he also made this decision because he didn't want to implicate me and other colleagues. Don't blame him too much... ..."

"I don't blame him, I'm too anxious," Qiu He interrupted: "Lao Yuan's critical illness has not told him anything, I can't get in touch with Yuan Zhiming, so I came to you, he can't sign, even if it is Sign, I also want to let him know about it first.”

"Wait a minute", the chaotic information made Li Yikai calm down: "Uncle Yuan is critically ill? When did it happen?"

"You don't know? Isn't Yuan Zhiming with you? What about others?"

"We recently quarreled over the signing of the contract, and we haven't contacted each other," Li Yikai quickly explained, "But I can contact his friend and inform him of Uncle Yuan's condition first."

"No, no, the nurse has already informed him." Perhaps influenced by Li Yikai, Qiu He also calmed down. After he heard about the signing, he was the first to call Yuan Songqing, but the nurse answered and told He, Yuan Songqing, was unconscious in the ambulance.He immediately contacted Yuan Zhiming, but the phone was turned off.

While listening to him, Li Yikai called Lucifer on another mobile phone, but the other party didn't answer, so he left a message, asking him to reply to Yuan Zhiming's situation as soon as possible.

Soon Lucifer replied with a text: I went back to Huaizhou with Yuan Zhiming at the station, his father was admitted to the ICU, and he lost his mobile phone.

Li Yikai remembered that Yuan Zhiming's car keys and clothes were all with him, and he replied to Lucifer: Please take care of him, tell him that I will help him pack his luggage, and I will be there soon.

"Uncle Qiu", Li Yikai said to the other end of the phone: "I know that what you don't want to tell me must be very serious, but with Yuan Zhiming's mood now, I'm not sure if he can bear it, or do it. Come to a sensible judgment."

"But Gu Changfeng won't give us time. The interview you mentioned may also be a means for him to form a teacher-student relationship with Yuan Zhiming in public opinion, and then continue to bond... So I think the most urgent thing is to first Stop his movements, and then give Yuan Zhiming time to make a decision, so that he won't be forced to nowhere by him again."

"I still want to ask, can you tell me what this thing is now? So I can figure out how to..."

Qiu He sighed: "I don't know what else to do. He is an unfathomable person. Back then, he used the works of Lao Yuan and me as stepping stones, and then he stepped on countless people to this day."

"But that's just one of them." Qiu He paused for a while, and then said: "There is another thing, you are right, if I tell Xiao Ming now, I'm not sure how it will affect him..."

"Gu Changfeng is very likely to be Xiao Ming's biological father."
