flawed

Early the next morning, Qi Nuliang knew that the extra rule was to tattoo two big flower arms.

When he arrived at the tattoo place, he heard Zhaohui's introduction, and he met the fifth member of the so-called board of directors, who was actually a woman.The woman had her head shaved off and her eyebrows were studded. She had the same two patterned arms, and Zhao Hui asked her to call her Fifth Sister.

But without saying a word, she pressed the person on the reclining chair, and without asking what pattern the other person wanted, she called another tattoo artist, took three seconds to decide on the pattern, and then started working on one left and one right at the same time.

It is said that Qi Nuliang, who has been fighting since he was a child, should be very good at dealing with pain, but this kind of delicate, painful and itchy feeling makes him extremely tormented.

"pain?"

Qi Nuliang frowned: "A little bit."

"Aren't you good at fighting? Let me bear with this little pain."

Qi Nuliang felt that he was a fish on a chopping board at this time, and the executioner did not give him a quick knife, but repeatedly scraped his scales with the knife.

"How long will it take?"

"Four or five hours."

"...Five, Fifth Sister, why don't you think of a way to make me faint first."

"……so troublesome."

She said so, but still asked someone to bring anesthetics to apply to him, and said disdainfully: "Listen to them bragging, I thought you were very capable."

Qi Nuliang was a little unconvinced: "This is different from fighting."

"You mean it's better to be beaten than to have a tattoo for you?"

Qi Nuliang was not familiar with the place of birth, and the first time they met, it was still in the hands of others, so he dared not say yes.

"Xiao Qi, you should be satisfied. Not everyone does it by himself. Even I asked my younger brother to do it for me." Zhaohui complained, pouted.

"Well, this matter is too much to pass. Zhaohui, why don't you wash off the tattoo, and I'll give you a new one by myself?"

"You just said that it's my fate."

From early morning to noon, the two arms were finally finished.I don't know if it's the effect of anesthesia, or the pain is so numb, Qi Nuliang almost can't feel his own two arms.

I don't know what kind of business this Fifth Sister is in charge of, but her tattoo skills are indeed exquisite.

Flowing clouds in the left hand and flowing water in the right hand, not only the pattern is exquisite and beautiful, but also the entire graphic design is done in one go, bringing the style of Chinese classical auspicious clouds and Japanese Ukiyo-e.Qi Nuliang stood in front of the mirror, the surprise in his heart overshadowed the pain in his arm.

Seeing the finished product, Zhaohui complained again: "Fifth Sister, the picture you chose for Xiao Qi is so elegant, and that's what you chose for me," he raised his arms, revealing a swarthy snake's head, "Scary Damn, I don't even dare to look at myself at night."

The fifth child said indifferently: "Because Xiao Qi is a handsome guy, of course a handsome guy should have a fresh and elegant design."

"Well, I'm not worthy."

After the arm was finished, Fifth Sister asked Qi Nuliang to take two photos with his bare upper body front and back, explained some precautions and let him go.

Zhaohui took him to lunch and then returned to the hotel.

Deng Jianghua and Li Zhi also had lunch and were already waiting at the hotel gate.Waiting in front of the gate together is a brand new Audi.

Deng Jianghua offered the car key with both hands: "Brother Qi, Uncle Hong asked someone to deliver it early in the morning, for you."

Qi Nuliang didn't understand, so he took the key and looked at Zhaohui, hoping he could give some explanation.

However, the other party only patted him on the shoulder: "Uncle Hong gave it to you, take it."

"...I can't drive."

"None of this?"

Qi Nuliang shook his head: "No."

"Then, I'll ask someone to help you drive back. You have to learn how to drive as soon as possible. There is no one in our line of work who can't drive."

Li Zhi interjected: "Brother Six, don't bother to call someone, I'll help Brother Qi drive back."

"Alright. I'll arrange another task for you, and supervise him to learn how to drive."

When they returned to Hongcheng and Li Zhi parked the car in the open space downstairs of the daily chemical community, it was already dark.

"Shall I help you carry the things up together?" Deng Jianghua was referring to the things in the back seat and the trunk.

Driving through the city just now, Qi Nuliang got out of the car and bought a lot of food.While passing by a bicycle store, I bought a newest mountain bike on a whim.

"No, you go home first."

The two left, and he sat alone in the new car given by the boss, smoking a cigarette, watching the sky outside quickly darken.

What happened in the past two days was like a dream, and it was only when I returned to Hongcheng that I finally returned to reality.However, those two days were not a dream, because the luxury car in the dream would not drive to the downstairs of the house with him.

He still remembered what he said to Jiang Yu, that he would seriously consider whether to continue this job.What happened in the past two days made him change his mind about giving up. For the first time in his life, he felt the warmth of a big family.

Uncle Hong seems to be a majestic but loving father, who likes and values ​​him far more than his dead father.And Zhaohui, like a real elder brother, not only taught him everything in the society, but also said that the society would cover him.And Qi Nuliang felt that he was not a younger brother at the bottom of a gang, but the youngest brother in a family, and he was loved and tolerated by everyone.

For so many years, he has always been alone, with no support and nowhere to turn to, but this trip to Nanquan City seems to have allowed him to find his own belonging.

Besides, these people are all kind to him, especially Uncle Hong. If he still says he wants to leave under such circumstances, then he is too unreasonable.

He made a decision to continue, so he didn't know how to face the child at this time.

The phone rang, a call from home, Jiang Yu asked him if he wasn't coming back tonight.

"No, already downstairs..."

Before he finished speaking, the other end hung up the phone, and then heard footsteps in the building, and soon saw a figure flashing out of the building hole, standing there looking around.

Qi Nuliang stretched out his hand from the car window: "Here."

Jiang Yu looked this way, but didn't come over immediately, hesitating a little.

Qi Nuliang honked the car horn and turned on the lights: "Jiang Yu, come here."

Jiang Yu just trotted over and stood in front of the car window with a face full of disbelief.

Qi Nuliang pointed in another direction, moved from the car to the co-pilot, and opened the door of the co-pilot: "Come on."

Jiang Yu got into the car and looked around: "Whose car?"

"mine."

Jiang Yu had a look of disbelief.

"It's really mine. After I learn it in two days, I will drive you to play."

Hearing this, the child's face was not very happy, but his doubts aggravated.Qi Nuliang got out of the car again, opened the trunk, and took down the foldable bicycle.

"I also bought you a bicycle, and you can ride it to school in the future." Qi Nuliang opened the door from the outside and called Jiang Yu, "Come and try it, see if you like it, and if you don't like it, you can change it tomorrow. "

Jiang Yu then rode up and walked around the yard: "It's a good ride, very light."

"That's right, the boss told me that this bike is made of aerospace-grade materials, so it must be easy to ride." Qi Nuliang pulled the trunk of the car, "In the future, put the bike in the trunk, and it will be troublesome to move it up and down every day."

Jiang Yu put the car away, Qi Nuliang asked him to get food, and the two went home together.

Qi Nuliang was working on the manuscript, thinking about how to explain it when Jiang Yu asked, but after the meal was over, Jiang Yu didn't even ask.While putting the bowl away to the kitchen, I just asked him, "Do you want to take a bath? I'll boil water for you."

"I won't take a shower, you boil some water, and I'll wipe my back."

When he really wiped it, Qi Nuliang felt that his arm still hurt a little, which was not very convenient.The parts with tattoos can't touch the water, and he can't see the shoulder blades.Besides, the two lived under the same roof, so it was impossible to hide it.He put a bath towel on his body and called Jiang Yu.

The two looked at each other for a while, Jiang Yu guessed, "Brother, do you want me to wipe your back?"

Qi Nuliang nodded, but did not let go of the towel.

"Then sit down quickly." Jiang Yu pointed to the small stool at his feet.

Qi Nuliang was a little embarrassed, afraid of scaring the child, so he reminded him in advance: "Well, I have some tattoos on my arm."

"Oh."

"Don't be intimidated."

Jiang Yu smiled and sneered a little contemptuously: "I haven't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Nuliang let go of the towel, and Jiang Yu swallowed the rest of the sentence with a "grunt".

Qi Nuliang sat on the small stool and turned his back to Jiang Yu.

He arched his neck, a little unwelcome grievance: "I think it looks pretty."

Jiang Yu didn't speak, rolled up his sleeves and stirred in the basin for a while, and pressed the hot towel against Qi Nuliang's back from top to bottom, and wiped it back and forth, not lightly or heavily.

"Does your arm hurt?"

"...a little bit."

"Apply some medicine in a while."

Under the incandescent lamp, Qi Nuliang sat on the edge of the bed with his upper body naked, while Jiang Yu knelt on the bed and applied ointment to him.Today, the child was unusually silent, which made him scratch his head and feel that he should explain something to Jiang Yu.

"The last time there was a fight, someone came to our company to make trouble. I beat them away, and the company didn't suffer any losses, so the boss invited me to play at the headquarters for two days.

"Our boss is really rich. He lives in his own five-star hotel, which is even more upscale than what he saw on TV. He also has a villa. He ate sea cucumber and shark's fin last night. He planned to pack it up and give it to you. I tried it, but there were too many things to do later. Next time, next time I will definitely bring it back for you to taste."

Jiang Yu gave a "hmm" and switched to the other arm.

"The boss is an old man who takes good care of us young people. He seems to think highly of me. He rewarded me for the car downstairs. The others are also very good. There is a big man who is almost two meters in there and he punches very hard. He also taught me how to fight..." At this point, Qi Nuliang paused, feeling that he had slipped his tongue, so he quickly made up for it, "Just to discuss some skills, and didn't do anything else.

"The one who tattooed me was a woman with a bad mouth but a good heart...

"Anyway, I plan to continue doing this job. Don't worry, there are people covering me now, and nothing will happen. Just go to school and tell me what you want to eat and what you want."

After painting both arms, Qi Nuliang turned his head and patted Jiang Yu's head.Looking at the child's clear and bright eyes, he still felt a little guilty after all.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu blinked and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
