The time of the city

Song Fei looked at the hung up call and smiled bitterly, "We'll see each other soon, so Hecheng, are you still going to find her?"

……

Lin Xiao put a piece of pork jerky into her mouth, her teeth clattering. "You threw my drawing into the trash can, and you still said I was a poor student with too many stationery."

Mo Yu chuckled and said, "Next time we'll draw a better one and piss her off to death."

"Forget it," Lin Xiao waved her hands. "My hands are only suitable for eating. Please help me draw the homework next time. I don't know how her mouth with a temperature of 37 degrees can say such cold words. Xiaoyu, hug me." After saying that, she threw herself into Mo Yu's arms.

"Hug me," Mo Yu stroked her hair. "To comfort you, I'll accompany you wherever you want to go next."

"Let's go dress shopping."

"Huh?" Mo Yu almost suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. She thought that with Lin Xiao's foodie nature, she would definitely take her out for a big meal, but she didn't expect that they were going to buy dresses.

"Hey, Qiao Feng's birthday party is coming up soon. My parents insisted that I go. Firstly, it can solidify my position as the Qiao family's young mistress, and secondly, it can broaden my horizons. Xiaoyu, you will accompany me then."

"I don't know Qiao Feng. Xiaoxiao, find someone else to go with you."

Lin Xiao hugged Mo Yu and rested her head on her shoulder. "Xiao Yu, come with me. You know me. We can just eat there and leave when the time comes."

Mo Yu thought about it and thought that a birthday party was nothing more than a platform for the rich to flatter each other and get promoted. No one would pay attention to her, so she nodded and agreed.

The two came to a dress shop. Lin Xiao declined the guide's introduction and took Mo Yu to choose on her own.

"Xiaoyu, just buy the cheapest one. I'd rather spend the extra money on barbecue. Why do you have to deal with so many social conventions? I wish my life was filled with nothing but romance."

Mo Yu took a white corseted evening gown and tried it on herself. “Maybe you’ll fall in love with Qiao Feng at the birthday party, and then you two can have a romantic life.” After trying it out, Mo Yu thought it was suitable and handed it directly to the salesperson to pack.

On the other hand, Lin Xiao didn't like any of the clothes. She tried one after another and nothing seemed right. "Xiaoyu, I'm almost dying of exhaustion. Why isn't there anything that suits me? Please help me choose."

Mo Yu stood up and pointed directly at the red off-shoulder dress in the window. "I think this one suits you. You can try it on."

After Lin Xiao asked the salesperson to take it down, she took a look at it and thought it was good, so she went into the changing room.

While waiting for Lin Xiao to change clothes, the WeChat notification sounded. It was a message from Ni Jiamu asking her where she was.

She sent her location and Ni Jiamu said he would pick her up in half an hour.

"Ting ting ting, I'm out. How's Xiaoyu?" Lin Xiao walked out of the dressing room in a red dress. It must be said that this dress really suits her, making her already fair skin look even more lustrous. The off-shoulder dress reveals her locks and shoulders on the side, combining sexiness and beauty.

In addition, Lin Xiao's facial features are already three-dimensional, and at this moment she has a kind of cold and beautiful beauty, provided that she doesn't speak.

"Xiaoxiao is very beautiful, like a queen."

"Then let's take this one. Make the waist a little bigger. I'm going to eat a lot that day, so I need some space." The shopping guide smiled and took the dress.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, have you made your choice?"

"I made my choice an hour ago." Mo Yu picked up the packed bag and showed it to Lin Xiao.

"Then change it for me. I want to see how beautiful Xiaoyu is in a dress." Lin Xiao pushed Moyu and the bag into the dressing room.

Ten minutes passed, and Mo Yu still hadn't come out. "My little ancestor, are you done changing? Why are you so slow? Are you working on the clothes?"

"I've changed. I'm embarrassed to come out."

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Lin Xiao pulled Mo Yu out.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Lin Xiao looked like a fangirl. "Don't you think it's beautiful?"

"Yeah, it looks great. I feel like this dress is tailor-made for you. She looks like an angel..." The customers and shopping guides in the dress shop praised Mo Yu one after another.

Lin Xiao was even happier than praising herself, and kept saying, "This is my home."

As soon as Ni Jiamu arrived at the door of the dress shop, he saw the angelic Mo Yu. The white evening dress looked elegant and noble on her. The hem of the skirt was dotted with tiny diamonds. Whenever Mo Yu moved, the diamonds on it sparkled.

The girl's hair, tucked behind her ears, fell slightly as she walked, glistening softly in the sunlight. She smiled faintly, bringing out the dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"Brother, are you here?" Mo Yu turned around and met a pair of smiling eyes, her face instantly flushed. "Wait for me, I'm going to change." Then she ran into the locker room.

Lin Xiao propped up her chin and said, "Brother Jiamu, Xiaoyu is pretty, right? I think your eyes are about to pop out."

Ni Jiamu nodded and said, "She looks good." How could she not look good? She just stood there and looked good without any decoration.

After saying goodbye to Lin Xiao, Mo Yu got in the car and asked, "Brother, why did you come to pick me up so suddenly?"

"Take you to a place."

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at a gallery. Mo Yu got out and saw the sign that read "Yujia Gallery".

"Yes, this is my gift to you, Yujia, Moyu, and Ni Jiamu. This is our common property, and it's also one of the Ni family's businesses. Xiaoyu, I know you like painting and want to have your own gallery. I'll help you realize it."

"But brother, you have already given me a lot of things." Mo Yu's face was full of emotion.

"What's the big deal? As long as Xiaoyu likes it." He is completely devoted to Mo Yu, let alone a small gallery?

"Do you want to go in and take a look?"

After entering, although it was built not long ago, many painting lovers have gathered here. They admire each painting with love in their eyes.

Mo Yu couldn't help but think of Xiao Hecheng and his dream of becoming a painter. It would be great if his paintings could also be exhibited here.

Xiao Hecheng had gazed up at the starry sky countless times, facing the vast night sky, and the stars told his dreams. Mo Yu sincerely hoped that his dream would come true. He was so talented, and his paintings should not only appear on the walls of abandoned factories.

Thinking of Xiao Hecheng, a strange feeling continued and took root somewhere in my heart.

"Mr. Ni? Why did you come in person?" Chen Xu saw Ni Jiamu jogging up to greet him.

"Bring the hostess over here. Didn't you go to the United States for an inspection some time ago?"

"Mr. Ni, I'm so excited just talking about this. I've hit the jackpot! On my way back to China, I met someone with an extremely talented talent for painting. I went through so much trouble to finally sign him up. Mr. Ni, would you like to meet him?"

Ni Jiamu nodded.

After a while, Chen Xu brought Xiao Hecheng over and said, "You are in luck, Mr. Ni wants to see you."

The moment Ni Jiamu saw Xiao Hecheng, no words could express his feelings. "Why is it you?"

Mo Yu, who was looking at the painting, also turned around, her face full of surprise, "He Cheng, are you the newly signed painter?"

When Xiao Hecheng saw Mo Yu, the coldness in his eyes swept away, and now they were full of tenderness. "Xiao Yu, is this gallery your brother's?"

"It belongs to Xiaoyu and I together." Ni Jiamu emphasized the word "together" very much, as if he was declaring his sovereignty.

"You're really haunting me. Since you're able to come to our gallery, just do your job well. As for Xiaoyu, don't even think about it."

"Mr. Ni, you misunderstood. Xiaoyu and I are just friends. I know I'm not worthy of her."

Ni Jiamu smiled and was very satisfied with Xiao Hecheng's words. "Okay, Xiaoyu, we've finished touring the gallery, let's go eat."

Ni Jiamu was the first to leave the gallery. Mo Yu clenched her fist and waved it downwards towards Xiao Hecheng and said, "Come on, Hecheng, you must become a great painter!" After that, she trotted to catch up with Xiao Hecheng.
