Blow

On the second day of the holiday, at Ni Jia's kind invitation, they went to Shanghai temporarily.

Xia Jue would still feel uneasy and emotionally unstable at the train station, but she could move about normally without breaking out in a cold sweat or losing strength.Wen Xiao deliberately separated from him, and asked him to line up for the security check, find the waiting room, and pass through the ticket gates, and he also went smoothly.

At noon, I got off the high-speed train and went straight to Dongliu Gallery.

In the past two and a half days, one of the last paintings has been completed. On a thunderstorm night, the white fox with limbs and limbs and the black eagle with a broken chest are full of details, and a sense of shock comes from the air.

Ni Jia scanned the electronic version, printed two postcards directly with the machine in the studio, and gave one to each of them.Xia Jue looked at the little fox in the picture, thoughtful.

"You—my friend, you have a good comprehension ability and a strong talent for expression," Ni Jia asked Wen Xiao when Xia Jue entered the locker room, "Does he consider developing in the direction of acting? I have the resources at hand."

Wen Xiao said, "I don't think about it."

"So decisive?" Ni Jia smiled, "Is that just what you mean?"

Wen Xiao said, "Based on his conditions, if he wants to do this business, he will wait until today?"

Ni Jia thought, yes.The topic is over.

On this day, they stayed in the gallery until eight o'clock in the evening, exhausted enough.

For a full six hours, Xia Jue was alone most of the time, and occasionally Wen Xiao would cooperate with him; halfway through, Ni Jia took them to ASE for dinner, met a friend in the film and television industry, chatted for a few words, and continued when they went back.

After the end, Ni Jia called 6666 for Xia Jue and 2333 for Wen Xiao.Wen Xiao changed hands and gave Xia Jue the 2333 together with the two thousand from last time.

Xia Jue refused to accept it: "What is this?"

"Beauty gift." Wen Xiao said lightly.

Xia Jue's ears turned red, but she was very conscious, so she said, "Then I have to prepare a dowry." She said that she would give Wen Xiao all of today's salary.

"Don't make trouble," Wen Xiao covered his phone screen, "You were the only one on the court today, and I cooperated for less than an hour. Sister Jia also said that you are the protagonist."

Xia Jue said, "Anyway, you can't give it all to me."

"Then let you take care of it, okay?" Wen Xiao had no choice but to change his rhetoric.

Manage money.Xia Jue reluctantly accepted this statement: "Well then, I will only keep it for you."

The two walked home, and at night in Shanghai, there were colorful advertising screens everywhere, showing glamorous celebrities and entertainers.

Walking through an intersection, Wen Xiao suddenly asked, "Don't you like the entertainment industry?"

"Yes—how did you know?" Xia Jue was surprised.

Wen Xiao said, "Guess."

Good guess.After all, in the Internet age, if Xia Jue has a little thought, even if he puts a photo showing his face on the Internet platform, there is a great chance to hit the opportunity of becoming famous; No special reaction.

This kind of attitude is not only not interested, but seems to be deliberately repelling.

Red light, traffic passing through.Amidst the whistling, Xia Jue said, "My mother has made a detour in this regard."

Wen Xiao was taken aback.

"Actually, it's not that she has no news at all. I can always hear some intermittently." Xia Jue smiled. "I heard that she came back and borrowed money from Li Rui's family."

Wen Xiao said, "But she didn't look for you."

Xia Jue nodded.

"You really don't want to see her?" Wen Xiao couldn't help asking.

Xia Jue said: "Don't say whether you want it or not, it just doesn't matter that much. It's like two strangers who only know each other's names. It doesn't matter whether they meet or not, it's all the same."

Having said that, that was his only living relative after all.

"Do you want me to help?" Wen Xiao looked sideways at him.

Xia Jue shook her head: "Forget it. I just think that I won't go on the detour she took."

Even if he doesn't meet, he still feels that he and Jiao Yu are connected in a secret state.For example, his longing for the outside world all the time originally came from his mother's departure.

If Jiao Yujuan hadn't abandoned her husband and son, leaving all kinds of rumors and a crumbling home, Xia Jue's environment would not have much reason to have such a strong curiosity about the outside world.It is very likely that he, like Xu Chengkai, would be willing to live in the county until his old age.

According to those rumors, the reason why Jiao Yu left was because she had an extraordinary appearance.Beauty makes Jiao Yu stand out in the crowd, makes her aware of her uniqueness, and makes her eager to prove her uniqueness.She decided to leave the remote mountain village and came to the east, and was introduced to marry Xia Shumin who had just received a large amount of compensation—this was her first stop.The second stop is to jump from Sanbian Bridge and step into Shanghai.

After that, she was lost.

Beauty can certainly be used as a kind of power, but all power needs to be controlled first and then used.Since childhood, Xia Jue has always used this to remind herself to cool off the intense attention she received because of her appearance.

It was strange that his mother, whom he had never met before, turned out to be his wake-up call.

A few high school students walked up to me, talking and laughing loudly, wearing summer school uniforms.When the girls glanced at Xia Jue and Wen Xiao, they paused, turned away, and peeked again.Even boys have a hard time not noticing them.

Wen Xiao suddenly stretched out his arms and wrapped them around Xia Jue's shoulders.

It's common for boys to act nicely between brothers, but when boys do it, they would hook each other's shoulders and backs, but Xia Jue just took advantage of the situation and nestled into Wen Xiao's arms and was hidden.

Back at Jiarui Garden, both of them took a shower, and after nine o'clock, they lay down and got ready for bed.Xia Jue kept an account on the mobile phone, specifically marking the more than 4000 that Wen Xiao gave him.

With today's income, plus the [-] returned by the school, and part of the original savings, Xia Jue's always-poor wallet miraculously bulged.He counted and used Alipay to pay Xu Chengkai [-] yuan, basically paying off the debt.

One more thing.

"We will enroll after November, is it decided?" He asked Wen Xiao, "I'm not ashamed to ask my sister. I should pay the tuition fee."

After Xia Jue dropped out of university, the paper files had been posted to the County Education Bureau. He checked the Internet and found that he had to pay a sum of money to the Education Bureau and the school he borrowed from to study abroad.

The Bureau of Education charges its own national unified standards, not many.As for the school, Wen Xiao happened to be confirming with Wen Rushi, and Wen Rushi conveyed Director Lin's meaning: in Wen Xiao's situation, if he wants to go back to our school to repeat his studies, he only needs to pay about [-] tuition and accommodation fees normally. Because Jue's college entrance examination scores are too low, the school's borrowing fee is [-] a year.

This money is a drop in the bucket for Wen Rushi, she has already settled it.It's just that Wen Xiao hasn't decided whether to tell Xia Jue the truth.

"Including accommodation, it's [-] yuan per semester," he first said about his situation.

High borrowing fees are common sense.Xia Jue consciously multiplied this number by two, barely acceptable.

He asked, "Do you want to pay all at once?"

Wen Xiao said, "I've handed over everything."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier." Xia Jue quickly forwarded [-] to Wen Rushi on WeChat, and said some words of thanks.

Wen Xiao looked at his phone screen, Wen Ru accepted the money and replied ok.

Wen Xiao didn't tell the truth for the time being.

On the [-]rd, they went back to the county together with lawyer Zhou.

Lawyer Zhou went to see Tao Tao, and Wen Xiao helped Xia Jue pack her luggage, and sent it to Juzhou first. The address was Wen Xiao's home.

Xia Jue quietly searched on Baidu, and found out that it was a villa area, and the house price was frighteningly high.

After nearly two months of getting along, he probably had an expectation of the situation at Wen Xiao's family, but Wen Xiao seemed to be constantly refreshing his cognitive limits.

Xia Jue clearly knew that there was an insurmountable distance between herself and Wen Xiao, not only in terms of material conditions—or material conditions would affect many factors.People who grow up in different environments have very different worldviews, values, and outlook on life.

For example, in the matter of re-studying, if there is no Wen Xiao, Xia Jue may stop at the idea and dare not put it into practice. Even if it is put into practice, it is impossible to consider going to other places to borrow for better educational resources.

He can't be like Wen Xiao, who doesn't care about investment before doing things, because all the time, he has never been able to get the cost he invested.

He is actually very timid and weak.

Wen Xiao said that he was precious, but now he feels that this kind of preciousness was also given to him by Wen Xiao.

In the afternoon, the room was mostly empty, and the two were watching a movie on the sofa, Xia Jue sighed.

Very slight, just a little louder than usual breathing.But Wen Xiao noticed it immediately, and asked him, "What are you thinking again?"

Xia Jue smiled and said, "No." The reluctance in her tone couldn't be concealed at all.

— A liar.

Wen Xiao evaluated in his heart.He picked up the remote control, paused the movie, and sat quietly with no expression on his face.

Xia Jue soon became uneasy and compromised: "I'm a little nervous."

"nervous?"

"It's just... I didn't go to such a good school," Xia Jue stammered, "And your family..."

"What happened to my house?" Wen Xiao asked.

Xia Jue said, "Is your house very big?"

Wen Xiao changed his mind and understood what he meant, but he didn't say anything.

"Anyway, he must be older than me..." Xia Jue didn't get an answer, and lowered her head to pick the sofa cushion.

Wen Xiao had a half-smile on his face: "How about my family, that's another story. In short, I'm—older than you."

He lowered his eyes and landed somewhere.

"You...!" Xia Jue didn't realize it at first, but when she raised her head and then lowered her head, she realized that Wen Xiao was joking with him, and it was still tinged.

As if his feet were scalded by fire, he quickly retracted.He hugged himself into a ball warily.

Wen Xiao was amused by his reaction: "Are you admitting it?"

"... Who can compare this to you." Xia Jue was angrily.

Wen Xiao asked: "Then what do you want to compare?"

Xia Jue wanted to say that it was a house comparison, but felt strange.than what house?Firstly, there is no reason to compare him with Wen Xiao, and secondly, there is no comparison between him and Wen Xiao.

He didn't know how to speak.

"Just kidding," Wen Xiao took the joke away, and moved closer to rubbing his hair, "Why are you so nervous? Tell me slowly."

Every time Wen Xiao rubbed Xia Jue's head, Xia Jue couldn't help but burrow into Wen Xiao's arms, it was almost a conditioned reflex.It was the same this time, Xia Jue unconsciously leaned towards Wen Xiao, leaned on Wen Xiao's shoulder, and said, "I just feel that I am far behind you. You are good at everything, you have everything, I—— I like This little beggar always asks you for food."

He owed Wen Xiao and Wen Rushi a lot.

Wen Xiao could roughly guess what he would say.

"Little beggar?" Wen Xiao looked at him sideways, "Such a beautiful little beggar is worth raising for a lifetime."

Xia Jue said embarrassingly, "It's not worth it."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Xiao knocked him on the head.

Wen Xiao said, "Did you forget what I told you the night before yesterday?"

"I haven't forgotten," Xia Jue said, "but..."

Wen Xiao knew that he would not be able to pass this hurdle for a while, so he said: "There is no but. Let me explain first that my sister is in charge of school affairs from the beginning to the end. No matter how big the 'family' is, it is also my father's property, not mine. You don't have to be embarrassed with me. If you really want to be embarrassed, just take the exam with me and don't hurt my sister's heart. "

As he spoke, he took out his phone and showed Xia Jue the memo.Eight years of long notes, all kinds of red envelopes, rewards, etc. given to him by Wen Rushi, the number is astonishingly large.

"You don't owe me anything," Wen Xiao said, "As for what we owe my sister, we must pay it back properly in the future."

The author has something to say: If you fail to apply for a visa for the sixth time, you must continue to work hard!

Xiaowen and Xiaoxia are going back to their high school days together.
