There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and soon, Su Hui heard Ning Yixiao's deep chuckle.

He didn't guess, and smiled flirtatiously.

Su Hui felt a little hot, put away the booklet, went back to her room, took off her coat, and fell on the mattress on the floor.The sound of the skin rubbing against the pillow passed through, carrying the temperature of an early spring night.

"Su Hui, you are really getting better and better."

This sentence didn't sound like a compliment, but Su Hui was drunk, and in a daze, he felt that Ning Yixiao's voice was so nice that everything he said seemed to be seductive.

"Hmm..." He buried his face on the pillow, his mind was in a mess, as if every nerve was trying to escape the control of Ning Yixiao's tone, but it would tremble again because of his breath.

Very confused, Su Hui had some bizarre hallucinations - he saw Ning Yixiao lying beside him at this very moment, staring at him quietly.So Su Hui turned his head to the side and also looked at his phantom.

"Going out for a drink today, didn't you meet anyone to strike up a conversation with?"

The hallucination is more real than reality, Su Hui knew it was fake, but he still stretched out his hand and stroked the mole at the corner of "Ning Yixiao".

"Yes, I don't know why you came to me. How did you find out that I like men at a glance?" Su Hui said with a smile, "It's strange, there seem to be more and more boys who want to date me."

"Because you are beautiful." Ning Yixiao was rarely straightforward.

Different from the passionate beauty of Westerners, Su Hui's body carries a kind of forbearable oriental lust. The tighter she is wrapped, the more this tight desire will overflow.Desperate and decadent, it shatters at the first touch, and disappears like smoke after shattering, as if every night is the last night out of control.

Su Hui laughed again, pulled up the quilt to cover her face, and leaned to the other side of the bed, as if leaning on Ning Yixiao's shoulder in the illusion.

I felt dizzy, and my language system began to become confused.

"Are you flirting with menow?"

Ning Yixiao liked his English accent very much, it was soft and the ending sound was very attractive.

But he still wants to clarify first, "I'm just stating the facts, and I don't have any flirting intentions."

"Yeah..." Su Hui hummed again and again, only responding with sticky onomatopoeia.

For some reason, Ning Yixiao was inexplicably pleased. He liked Su Hui's slightly sticky voice when he spoke English.

Just imagine, if anyone else saw him like this, Ning Yixiao would feel extremely annoyed.

Just lock him up, don't let him go out, don't let him see anyone.

Soon Ning Yixiao woke up from this terrible thought.

He couldn't do it, because Su Hui loved freedom very much.

It's not good to continue talking like this, Ning Yixiao still has a lot of work to do.

"Go to bed early when you're drunk." He whispered, "Good night."

Su Hui heard him hang up, but she was still immersed in the ambiguous atmosphere just now.

Thoughts were confusing, unable to find the center of gravity and fulcrum, like being submerged in a sea tangled in threads, between suffocation and excitement, Ning Yixiao's remaining phantom covered Su Hui like a cloud.

His tone was filled with hot water vapor, but the tone was cold, which reminded Su Hui of his commanding tone, strong and suppressing desire.

Su Hui unbuttoned the button somewhat resignedly, her hands were cold and completely different from his.

In the high temperature, he thought, maybe Ning Yixiao cared about him, so he helped him again and again, giving him warmth and emotions that looked like love, and also expressed concern because of his drinking.

But these were not enough, Su Hui hoped that it would be better for him to hate himself, because hatred is the most difficult to dispel.

The hallucination begins to spread stardust outward like a dying star.

He inexplicably imagined Julian holding flowers. He didn't know what kind of flower it was, maybe it was a rose, or it was the Juliet rose that he had cut out for Ning Xiao before.

This name suits them very well, and Ning Yixiao also likes big bouquets of flowers very much.

He remembered how they described Julian at the dinner table—passionate, persistent, likes to give gifts, the young master born with a golden spoon in his mouth, who likes art...

This is very similar to Su Hui in the past.

Ning Yixiao might fall in love with him, because he was once attracted by similar characteristics.

Su Hui suppressed and repeated his name in a low voice, as if it was just a spell for himself.

In a dream of pain and pleasure, ended this bitter self-blasphemy.

After waking up, Su Hui got up and buried his body in the water of the bathtub. Indulgence did not make him better, but instead made him feel more empty and miss.

When Su Hui woke up the next day, his head hurt. He was very moved when he saw the gift from Sean again, so he specially wrote him a long thank you email.

He got a reply after lunch.

[Sean: You are welcome, you just need to take this as a small feedback, after all, it is your work, but it was collected by me, and the core and meaning still belong to you. ]

For some reason, Su Hui always felt that Sean was obviously restrained and restrained when communicating with him, but he understood himself very well.

He felt more and more that he was actually very lucky.

Three days later, Professor White, who was researching abroad, called to congratulate Su Hui on the success of the photography exhibition, and told him that the school leaders invited him to give a seminar for freshmen.

"Me?" Su Hui was not sure, "I don't know if I can do it well, not to mention that this time is also an accident, it's a private job, and many details are inconvenient to explain."

When he took the job, the professor was worried, and the school didn't approve of it. No one thought that the feedback from the public would be so good.

"Just pick what you can and make a short report."

"let me try."

"Eddy, the feedback from the media this time is very good. Art Weekly contacted me and wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with you, but I haven't agreed yet. It depends on what you think. I want to remind you that there should be a lot of work after this time. When I found you, you have to be careful when you make a choice, don't consume your aura too much, but don't miss a good opportunity."

Su Hui hummed, "I understand, don't worry."

"Eddy, success is not a scourge, you need to be more ambitious."

The professor treated him like his own child. Few people would tell Su Hui if he mentioned something like this, so he cherished having such a good teacher and helpful friend even more.

He is right, success is not a bad thing, at least you can stay away from embarrassment and take care of the loved ones you want to take care of.

What's more, if he was not a down-and-out art school assistant, but a person with a place in the industry, standing next to Ning Yixiao, he wouldn't be so out of balance.

Su Hui suddenly wanted to quit smoking, so she locked all the things she bought before in the cabinet, planning not to touch them for a short time.

Be a positive person.

Opening the text message, Su Hui accidentally discovered that Bella's assistant sent another large amount of money. When she called to inquire, Bella said, "This is the final payment and bonus."

"Too much."

"It's not much at all. Don't you know the market price outside at all? Compared with what you gave us, it's nothing at all. Besides, you earn money by your ability, so you should take it well. I still have I'm a little busy, I have to go, say hello to your grandma for me."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, we are friends."

Bella gave him a very important job opportunity. Relying on Chloe's fame, Su Hui was seen by the public. Not only that, but also a generous reward.

The gratitude factor in Su Hui's heart began to stir up trouble, so she took out the proposal and read it carefully.

It took him an afternoon to read each of Bella's manuscripts carefully, only to realize that she worked so hard and was very talented, and every link had her own ingenuity.

After reading it, Su Hui went down for a walk with the dog, bought an ice cream, and called Bella after eating, telling Bella that he was willing to join her new product project.

Bella screamed happily on the other end of the phone, and Su Hui immediately put the receiver away and put it next to Ice Cream's ear, which made Ice Cream look wary in fright, and then stared at Su Hui aggrievedly.

"Poor puppy."

The next day he went to Bella's studio. This time the receptionist changed, but he said the same thing as the last one.

"Excuse me, are you a model who came to audition?"

Su Hui thought for a while, "That's right."

He reported his name to the front desk, but he didn't expect the front desk to read it, and suddenly raised his head, "Are you EddySue?"

Su Hui didn't understand, so she nodded, "Yeah."

"The last photo exhibition!" The front desk lady was a little excited, "You did the installation art there, right? I really like it very much. I took a lot of photos. It is still there until now, and it is almost becoming that hotel. I must go to the card place!"

"Thank you."

Su Hui smiled back, feeling the real feeling of being watched for the first time.

"You're welcome, I'll take you up, this way please."

The lady at the front desk also smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be a model. Is this the legendary young man with a slash?"

Su Hui could only smile, and saw Bella as soon as she went upstairs, she was wearing a denim beret, leather jacket and jeans, she was very capable.

As soon as he saw Bella, he hugged him warmly, took his arm and walked in, "Just in time, the stylist has just arrived, so you can save a lot of time by stepping forward."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"No." Bella looked at him with a smile, and pushed open the door of the styling room, "Have you never dyed your hair before? Bleaching is time-consuming."

"No." Su Hui smiled, recalling some past events, "Actually, when I was in a manic episode, I really wanted to dye my hair, but my mother arrested me when I first entered the barber shop, and the hair stylist didn't even have time to apply the dye." , and I still wear their shawls."

He laughed, "Later, my mother didn't allow me to go outside for a haircut by myself, and would call someone to come to my house."

"My God, it's so harsh. If I would run away and finish the dyeing." Bella didn't receive such a family education, so she couldn't understand it.

She asked Su Hui to meet with the stylist, and ordered Su Hui's styling requirements according to the previous plan.

"If the effect is good, you can hurry up and take a set of makeup test photos first."

Su Hui sat in front of the mirror. In this period, he always had expectations for all new things. Hair dyeing was like a brand new change, which perfectly matched his current excitement.

So Su Hui obediently let the hair stylist dictate, chatting about things.

"Is your hair curly?"

"Well, a little bit."

"I thought it was a slightly permed curl. The radian is so natural. Then let's keep this radian, and only slightly shape the forehead and the top of the head, and cut it a little shorter in length. When it comes to the neck, cut it layered. "

Su Hui didn't know much about this, and she hadn't cut her hair for a long time, "Well, let's do what Bella wants."

Bella on the side laughed, "Why do you say that, as if you are the Barbie doll I bought."

The hair stylist also laughed, "Hahahaha!"

The bleaching time was very long. Su Hui sat at first, but gradually couldn't sit still. He walked around the room, took a lollipop from the table, put it in his mouth, and sat by the window to watch. Young people coming and going downstairs.

It's the end of March, and it's still cold in New York.

Later, he simply walked out of the styling room. There were a lot of staff and models outside, all kinds of fresh and beautiful faces.It's like a huge doll's window, dreamy and dazzling.

Seeing him coming out, Bella happened to discuss fabrics and tailoring with Lasuhui.

Su Hui touched the material in front of him, "This fabric is not bad, tulle is more suitable for spring and summer, but too much will make it greasy, in fact, you can add a little neutral fabric to splice it."

"You're right." Bella said to the assistant. "Write it down. I'll pick some leather and denim later, and I'll have a look."

"Are you going to bleach your hair a second time?" Bella reminded him.

Su Hui immediately returned to the modeling room.

It's been too long, Su Hui has already eaten two lollipops, a small plate of butter cookies, and two small pieces of cheesecake. After eating too much sweet, his wisdom teeth began to ache again.

He covered his cheeks, looked at his phone, and saw the money transferred to him by Bella again, his first reaction was to pay Ning Yixiao back.

But he didn't know the exact amount, nor Ning Yixiao's account, so he had to call Carl.

"Carl, are you busy now? I have something to ask you."

Carl's tone was more energetic than usual, "No, I'm not busy. I stayed up all night last night and submitted all the preparation materials for listing. Shaw gave us a holiday today. What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Su Hui thought for a while, "It's about my grandma's hospital expenses. That's it. I recently got a good income. I want to pay back part of it first. You are Shaw's assistant, so you should know his account."

Carl suddenly hesitated, "Ah this? I have to ask him first, otherwise he might blame me for calling like this without authorization."

"That's right." Su Hui thought for a while, "Also, how much is the rent for the apartment I live in now? I've lived in it for two months and I want to pay a little rent, otherwise I'd be too embarrassed .”

"Well, I understand. I'll help you find out later."

"Thank you, then you can have a good rest."

Just as Su Hui was about to hang up, Carl suddenly spoke again.

"By the way Eddy, have you heard Shaw say anything about dating lately?"

Su Hui froze all over as if stepping on a thunderbolt.

"Dating?"

"You don't know either? I thought he'd tell you."

Carl sighed, and after another thought, their relationship has not been fully repaired, and it is normal to not know, but he is currently in need of someone who can confide in gossip, otherwise he will soon be suffocated.

Su Hui is a good person to confide in. After all, he has a gentle personality and is not talkative, so he will definitely not tell Ning Yixiao about this.

"That's right... Didn't Shaw arrange an interview during several roadshows last month? But originally the magazine sent someone to the company to prepare for the interview, but Shaw didn't know what was going on, so he insisted on going to Los Angeles by himself."

Su Hui was stunned.

It turned out that Ning Yixiao was going to Los Angeles by himself.

"Isn't it the magazine's arrangement?"

"No, it was Shaw who took the initiative. At first I couldn't understand why he did this suddenly. But in the past two weeks, people have been sending him flowers, and they don't repeat the same every day. Later, people also came over and waited downstairs in a sports car. Him, I just realized it was Julian Ford, and it all made sense."

"Why is it reasonable?" Su Hui didn't understand.

"Because that magazine belongs to Julian's family, and his mother is the editor-in-chief."

Su Hui's reaction suddenly became very slow.

But Carl didn't realize it, "After I inquired about it, I found out that Julian was pursuing Shaw when he was an undergraduate student at S University. .”

Su Hui fell into silence.

There was a dull pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by a blunt object, and he couldn't breathe.

"Eddy?"

"I don't know, maybe." He saw the stylist approaching, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, "Carl, I have to work, so hang up first."

After checking the fading, the stylist looked at his face in the mirror, "Eddy, why is your complexion so bad?"

Su Hui shook her head, "It's fine."

He is just a little confused.

So did Ning Yixiao go to Los Angeles because of Julian?Then why go to the art gallery to find him?Why celebrate his birthday?

In other words, Ning Yixiao went to meet Julian after sending herself to the airport the next morning.

Regardless of the possibility, Su Hui felt sad.

He subconsciously thinks that Ning Yixiao is not the kind of person who can't let go of the old love after having a new love, but he can't calm down and deal with all this.

Indeed, Ning Yixiao didn't intend to do anything beyond the rules that night, it was all on his own initiative, he was drunk and ran to knock on his door, begging to have sex with him.

Is that why he is unwilling to make it to the end?

Su Hui felt that she was simply terrible, in every sense.

"Okay, Eddy, this level is almost OK. I've been sitting for almost six hours. Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a blowjob."

Su Hui couldn't feel anything, but the Julian whom he had never seen before kept appearing in his mind, and when he and Ning Yixiao were dating, the wisdom teeth hurt even more.

After finishing all the modeling, he came out wearing a thin shirt, and Bella's eyes lit up when she saw it.

"It's so pretty!" She even clapped her hands and gave the stylist a thumbs up, "It's exactly what I thought, it's so beautiful."

Su Hui couldn't hear these compliments at all, only he said that people from the magazine's fashion section would also come over, and they might have to stay up late to shoot.

"Okay, everything is fine."

Bella noticed something wrong and asked him, "What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable after sitting for too long?"

"I'm going out to buy a pack of cigarettes." Su Hui didn't want to mention it, her tone was very light, "I'm addicted to cigarettes."

Bella also took her coat, "There is a convenience store next door downstairs, let me go with you."

"No, I'll be back soon."

Su Hui took the white coat she was wearing from the hanger, put it on her shoulders, and left the second floor like this.

The spiral staircase made him dizzy, but there was no way to dispel the hallucination in his mind, Su Hui wanted to back down.

Obviously, he was already mentally prepared for that night, and he agreed that if that person really appeared, he would get out immediately.

But now that person appeared, he only felt pain.

Going down to the first floor, he lowered his head and walked straight towards the glass door, but bumped into someone who entered at the same time.

Su Hui blurted out "sorry" subconsciously, not in the mood to look up.

But the man held his arm.

With just this grip, Su Hui realized who he had bumped into, but he couldn't believe it rationally, so he raised his eyes in disbelief.

Ning Yixiao was also taken aback.

The almost pure white silver hair magnifies Su Hui's unusual qualities to the maximum. When illuminated by the cool-toned sunshine of New York, she is dazzling and beautiful, as transparent as an elf.

Su Hui stepped back a little, and also drew out her hand.

"How did you come?"

The amazement in Ning Yixiao's eyes faded away, and he regained his usual calmness, curling the corners of his mouth.

"I heard from Bella that you took over her job again and just happened to be on vacation. Come and have a look. You probably haven't finished yet, where are you going now?"

Su Hui lowered her eyes, her thin upper eyelids showed faint traces of blood vessels, and her eyelashes projected a silhouette.

"Buy cigarettes."

"I brought it, take mine?" Ning Yixiao put his hand into his pocket.

Before he could take it out, Su Hui turned sideways, skipped him, opened the door and left.

"Not yours."

Ning Yixiao froze in place in bewilderment, confused by the kitten's sudden aggressiveness.

The author has something to say:

The kitten is angry, so it stretches its paw

Kitten said: If you have a lot of kittens outside, don't touch my head (huh)
