little beast

"Teacher, I know you still need time, and I will always wait for your reply."

These were the last words Shen Chengan said when he was parting.

"I have done many stupid things to hurt you, I can accept your answer, but I will never let go for any reason."

Sheng Shuangxu has been deeply aware of the wavering in his heart, but he has never been able to make a clear response. His reason is always at odds with his emotions, and it is difficult for his reason to resist the offensive of emotions.

Shen Chengan accepted his evasion, but he made more phone calls and text messages than before. They were nothing more than daily chats about the weather, work, etc. Sheng Shuangxu couldn't pretend he didn't see it, so he occasionally replied.

The days after that seemed to be the same as before he went to court. The entry showing his innocence had been on the hot search for a few days, and then with the influx of new news, it gradually withdrew from the public's sight. The only people around Shuang Xu who will pay attention to this case are his friends.

Sheng Shuangxu didn't know what else Shen Chengan did. Others did something good and wanted to show it to the original owner's face, but Shen Chengan didn't have such a temperament. He found someone to post the article, and he bought the popularity, but he didn't mention it at all.

Sheng Shuangxu himself didn't pay too much attention to the public opinion on the Internet. The public opinion hurt him too much. Only when netizens are full of enthusiasm can they brew a huge influence. When the popularity is good, when the attention is not there, it is easier to fall In the abyss, he dared not have any hope for the reversal of public opinion.

His life still has to go on, Sheng Shuangxu can't hide at home for the rest of his life, but he has been hurt by the public too many times, he no longer has the guts to find a job that requires publicity, and he can't afford to be humiliated in public. Recognize the consequences.

Even if he wins the lawsuit, he has a clear conscience, but he may not be able to shake off this invisible shackle in his life.

Sheng Shuangxu looked for part-time jobs that could work from home on the job-seeking website. Most of them were customer service jobs. Since this kind of work required communicating with others, he didn't like it very much. After various trials and errors, Sheng Shuangxu began to try Relying on his past teaching experience, he wrote some articles and sent them to relevant magazines. After several submissions, he began to contribute to magazines for a long time.

Sheng Shuangxu is very satisfied with this kind of work. He lives at home, remains anonymous, pays for each article, and rarely needs to communicate with people other than the editor.

In this way, until mid-September, the city exhibition prepared by Shen Chengan's studio was officially launched. Sheng Shuangxu received the tickets from Shen Chengan very early. After all, he had agreed to his invitation in a daze. I missed the appointment, so I went to the exhibition according to the appointment.

It's just that Sheng Shuangxu still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart. He didn't want his daughter to see Shen Chengan, so he went to the exhibition alone.

Sheng Shuangxu originally thought that there would not be too many people who liked to visit the exhibition, but in fact, there were quite a few people who liked to see sculptures, and there were also many parents who wanted to take their children out to play, so the venue was very lively.

Shen Chengan deliberately came out to welcome the teacher in, and he didn't see his daughter, so he knew it.

Sheng Shuangxu sensed that Shen Chengan was a little lost and sad because of this incident. He had hurt Shen Chengan's heart like this more than once, but now their relationship was unclear, which made Sheng Shuangxu feel uncomfortable.

Shen Chengan was sad in his heart, but he would not express it in words—During this period of bitter love, Shen Chengan had changed a lot. He no longer used extreme means to force the teacher's attention, but instead suppressed all emotions. From the bottom of my heart.

The essence of lust depends on instinct and selfishness. When people start to learn to compromise, tolerate, and endure, superficial impulses are transformed into love.

Shen Chengan is willing to give this kind of love throughout his life.

Sheng Shuangxu's attention was quickly attracted by the exhibits arranged at the venue. It has to be said that Shen Chengan has a unique aesthetic for art. Although Sheng Shuangxu knew nothing about art, he couldn't hide his heart when he saw the dazzling array of sculptures Shock.

The exhibits were basically the works of Shen Chengan's employees. Sheng Shuangxu was obviously not very interested in other people's works, and he didn't even realize that he was unconsciously looking for Shen Chengan's name on the exhibit signs.

After all, Shen Chengan is the owner of the studio. He has to maintain the operation and arrangement of the entire studio. His main job is not sculpture sculpture, so it is difficult to find his works. Sheng Shuangxu carefully looked at all the sculptures he saw. , Subconsciously want to see Shen Chengan's works.

Shen Chengan was also pleasantly surprised that his teacher had become interested in sculpture, and silently followed behind him without daring to say a word, for fear of disturbing Sheng Shuangxu's appreciation.

Sheng Shuangxu spent a long time looking through all the exhibits in the room, but he couldn't find Shen Chengan's name.

Sheng Shuangxu was a little disappointed, so he could only pretend to be nonchalant and ask, "Is that all there is?"

Shen Chengan was amazed by the teacher's enthusiasm for sculpture, and hurriedly said: "Teacher, that's all for the exhibition..."

"If you really like it, there are still some works in the inner room that are not scheduled to be exhibited."

Sheng Shuangxu said: "The works that are not exhibited? Shouldn't tourists like me be allowed to see them?"

"No, no, no," Shen Chengan hurriedly said, "Teacher, it's just that other tourists can't..."

Shen Chengan smiled and winked at him: "As a boss, you can also assign some privileges."

Shen Chengan led Sheng Shuangxu to the room at the end of the exhibition where tourists were forbidden to enter. The room was very spacious and there were many sculptures inside. These sculptures were not like the neatly arranged signs outside. Sheng Shuangxu looked to the side first. , I was dizzy looking at it, and when I looked up again, I saw an iron booth in the middle of the room, and the only sculpture with a sign was sitting on it.

It was a hand holding a cigarette. The fingers were slender and slender. The details were carved quite well, even the fine ashes of the cigarette butts were delicately carved. Sheng Frost looked closely and could even see the thin fingers at the knuckles. cocoon.

This is Shen Chengan's work, called "Lover".

Of course Sheng Shuangxu could see who he was sculpting, and immediately blushed in shock. He was so flustered that he pretended to be calm and said, "You, why didn't you exhibit it?"

Sheng Shuangxu didn't dare to look at Shen Chengan again, he was afraid that he would lose control again, so he stared at the cigarette in the sculpture's hand, and endured Shen Chengan's gaze from behind.

"Teacher, do you want to listen to me tell the truth?" Although Shen Chengan asked this, he didn't really wait for Sheng Shuangxu's answer, but asked himself, "I just create what I think about all the time, After seeing the finished product, I somehow don’t want others to see it, not even the audience. The day before the opening, I took it down out of selfishness.”

"I hope it can only be seen by me. I am such a selfish person, teacher."
