Du Xiaoxian had just returned home and was still changing shoes in the porch when he received a phone call from Hesen asking if she was at home. He said that he was just passing by downstairs and could come up to get the painting. Du Xiaoxian said that he was at home and asked him to come up quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Du Xiaoxian took off his wet coat and took it to the terrace to dry. However, he heard the rain beating on the glass, which seemed to be a sudden rush of thousands of horses. People were frightened. Du Xiaoxian was glad that he had returned early, otherwise he would be drenched in water.

She went to the kitchen to make a cup of hot tea, carrying slowly instigated two mouthfuls, felt the body warm a lot.

When the doorbell rang, she knew it must be Hessen. When she opened the door, she saw that his hair and clothes were all wet, and his long, soft hair was stuck together, and he looked rather embarrassed.

Du Xiaoxian called him in and said, "teacher he, why don't you take an umbrella?"

"When I got out of the car, the rain suddenly started to grow, and I got wet about ten meters away," he said

Du Xiaoxian went to the bathroom and took a dry towel to wipe his hair. He said, "take off your coat and air it."

"No, the down jacket is not afraid of water," Hessen wiped his hair and looked at her carefully. "Xiaoxian, you don't look very well. Are you uncomfortable?"

Du Xiaoxian reluctantly smile: "no, just feel a little cold."

At this time, Hessen realized that the heating was not turned on in the room. He asked strangely, "why don't you turn on the heating in such a cold day?"

Du Xiaoxian said, "I just came back, and I haven't had time yet." He went to the wall and turned on the central air conditioner. I went to the kitchen to make a cup of hot tea for Hessen.

Hessen sat on the sofa, warmed his hands with a cup, glanced at his backpack at the other end of the sofa and said, "are you really going to travel far?"

"Well," Du Xiaoxian sat down. "That's why I said that I might not be able to go to the exhibition at that time."

"Is there any difficulty?" He Sen looked at Du Xiaoxian carefully, and always felt something was wrong. The little girl was not very outgoing, but every time she saw her, she always felt her happiness. Even if she didn't speak, she was also smiling. But now, he saw only sadness in her face.

"It's not difficult. I just want to get out of here." Du Xiaoxian lowered his head and his voice was thin and deep.

He Sen is a very emotional person. His intuition is that Du Xiaoxian's departure must be related to Gu nianbin. He doesn't like the man who is cold and resists people thousands of miles away. Therefore, he doesn't want to ask more questions. He just says, "no matter what, you are the main character on the day of the exhibition. You must come. I'll let you know when it's time."

"You can't tell me. I'll leave my cell phone when I leave."

"Is there any phone number you can contact, such as finding your friends?"

Du Xiaoxian thought for a moment and left Du Huayue's number to him.

He Sen put the number into his mobile phone, looked at Du Xiaoxian and said seriously: "Xiaoxian, I don't know what happened to you, but you are an independent person. You have your own friends and career. You can't abandon everything just because you want to leave a certain environment. This is wrong, do you understand? You have great potential in painting. You can take this as your own career. Many people can only regard interest as interest in their whole life, but you can regard interest as work. This is very rare. Xiaoxian, I hope you don't give up painting under any circumstances or under any circumstances. All right? "

Du Xiaoxian hung her head in silence. Painting was her childhood pastime to relieve her loneliness. But over time, it really became an interest. Especially after she formally learned to draw, she saw so many colorful colors. She really liked it and couldn't put it down. As long as she painted, she could forget her tiredness. She loved these gorgeous colors and expressed her inner thoughts. If painting can be used as a future work, it would be great.

Silence half ring, she very quietly asked: "teacher he, if I have no money, can still draw?"

"Of course," Hessen was surprised. "You can make money by drawing. When you slowly become famous, you will make a lot of money." He stopped for a moment and said, "maybe you can sell some paintings on the day of the exhibition. Apart from the commission you give to the gallery, the rest is yours, which you earn by your own ability."

This is really good news for Du Xiaoxian. She didn't think about it for a long time before. She thought that Gu nianbin had to provide for her to continue painting. Because paint, brush and paper cost a lot of money. If you can make money by drawing as teacher he said, you don't have to worry about your livelihood in the future.

"Mr. He, I will definitely come on the day of the exhibition," Du Xiaoxian finally gave Hessen a positive reply.

"That's right," Hessen laughed. "Come on, take me to the painting."

After half an hour, the storm finally abated, and the crackling noise was gone. It became a rustling sound, like spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves.

After seeing Hessen away, Du Xiaoxian took a shower and went to bed in her room. She thought that she would have no sleep again or wake up in the middle of the night. However, she did not. She only woke up from hunger, but soon she fell asleep again. It's like too long without a rest. I'm so tired that I'll fall asleep once my eyes are closed.

When she was in a good mood, she saw the world was bright and colorful. But now she was in a low mood, the world was bleak, and there was only one color left.Just as Hessen commented on her paintings last night, she said that paintings and words are in fact the same. They all want to tell a story or express an emotion, but the words are more simple and easy to understand, while the paintings are expressed by color and lines. Hessen said that her early paintings were colorful and bright, which made people feel warm, unrestrained and happy. However, in her later paintings, the use of colors was mostly in cold colors, giving people a light sense of sadness. Hessen also said that this is a good thing, because she does not know how to hide, so her painting is the most real vent. This is what people who understand painting appreciate most.

Du Xiaoxian stood in silence for a long time before going to wash and gargle, and made breakfast for herself. Because the taste of hunger was too bad, she could carry the hunger before. Maybe it was because she had had such a good time recently that she couldn't bear to eat only one night. In fact, she has no appetite, but she doesn't like to be hungry. Let's fill her stomach.

She felt that she was slowly returning to the original world, as if she had made a wonderful dream. Finally, she woke up with some melancholy, but her heart was steady, because that was her world.

When he left with his bag on his back, he met the housekeeper in the lobby. He was an old man in his fifties, but he did not look old at all. Instead, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. He always wore a suit and leather collar, his hair was not disordered, and he kept a friendly smile on his face, which made people very easy to get close to. He nodded and bowed to her from a distance and said hello respectfully and politely.

Du Xiaoxian was always a little uneasy when he bowed to himself. He would like to bow 90 degrees in return every time. However, Gu nianbin could walk straight in front of him with only a slight nod. She always felt impolite, but Gu nianbin said that she was so uncomfortable that she was impolite to the housekeeper. He said that everyone has his own role in this society. If you respect him, you should recognize his role. If you make a fuss, you will make the other party uncomfortable. She didn't understand it very well, but she felt that Gu nianbin was right. In fact, she was used to agree with all Gu nianbin's words.

What about her role? What is she playing? In Gu's family, when she heard Shao Baiqing and Zhou Ting talk in private, she called her the little girl of general manager Gu. She also heard some staff say that she was the little Canary of the president. She did not know what canary was before, but later she saw it on TV. She was very uncomfortable, but she never mentioned it to Gu nianbin. Gu nianbin said that she was the person he liked and wanted to live with him all his life. Those words were still in my ears, but now the ending is deplorable.

She felt that she was nothing, just a little dust, floating from one place to another, just to survive. In any case, she wanted to live well, and for her grandmother in heaven, she must live well.

She didn't inform Du Hua Yue. Anyway, Du Hua Yue gave her a set of keys. She opened the door, packed her bags, and went out to buy things. She didn't have much money. She couldn't eat outside in the future. She had to open her own fire. All the pots and pans were ready-made, but the rice seasoning had to be bought.

Du Xiaoxian was in the supermarket to choose fresh vegetables. Suddenly, she leaned out and took away the vegetable heart with one hand. She was startled. She turned around and saw that it was Du Huayue.

Why are you surprised, brother Du Yue

Du Huayue said with a smile, "I saw you didn't call me. I guess you came by yourself. I handed over my shift, took a nap and ran over. I wanted to buy some dishes to make a delicious meal. I didn't expect to see you as soon as I came in."

Du Xiaoxian showed him the things in the cart: "brother Yue, what's the difference?"

Du Huayue flipped over the pages and said, "it's almost the same. When it's time to use it less, you can buy it again. Anyway, it's not far away."

After buying vegetables, they went to the fresh area to buy meat dishes. Du Huayue weighed the pork and wanted to buy fish. Du Xiaoxian refused, saying that there was only one meat dish. Besides, there were eggs.

Du Huayue ignored her and took a net to catch a large grass carp. He asked people to cut it into bags and said, "you don't understand. Today, we have fish head. The fish meat is cut into small pieces, salted and put in the refrigerator. Each time we eat one piece, it's delicious and delicious. Although the fish is expensive, you can eat several meals. It's very cost-effective. "

Du Xiaoxian blinked at Du Huayue: "brother Yue, how do you know so much?" She and Gu nianbin lived at home alone, and had a lot of time to eat at home, but Gu nianbin did not allow her to stay in the kitchen for fear of choking her and smoking her. So for so long, I learned to cook noodles. I didn't expect that Du Hua Yue, who had never cooked before, would be so economical. However, she was a little surprised.

"I learned it outside. I didn't know it before. My mother wouldn't let me into the kitchen at home. Last time I went to my colleagues' house for dinner, I saw that's what they did."

At noon, Du Huayue made braised fish head, stir fried cabbage heart, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a dish of fried meat with green pepper. All of these are home-made dishes, but the craftsmanship is not bad. Du Xiaoxian said as he ate, "brother ayue, pass on all the crafts to me. You can have ready-made ones when you come back from work."

Du Hua Yue said with a smile, "that's nice. I'm tired of eating fast food every day."

They were chatting, laughing and chatting. Du Huayue did not ask Du Xiaoxian how he separated from Gu nianbin. Du Xiaoxian did not mention it. It seemed that there was no such person and there was no such thing. They are the two brothers and sisters who support each other and survive in the prosperous metropolis, only looking forward to the future.
