The man said as he touched Hatsu's breasts.

Hatsu has always maintained the position of standing on top of him, he is not tall, and while he is not paying attention, Hatsu Xia kicked him down, and then picked up the sketchpad and threw it at him. Then he threw his legs and ran up there.

Not long after, she heard that the man had caught up, and shouted as she chased: "Beauty, beauty, you misunderstood...... Don't you run...... Don't you want your stuff...... I'll send you. ”

"Help—" Hatsu shouted, continuing to crawl and run as hard as she could. Only then did she realize that there was no one around, and some people were far away from her, and she couldn't hear her shouting at all.

Go up to the top of the mountain, and go down, only the highway can there be people. Having abandoned the gravel path in early summer, she chose to descend vertically. When she was a child, she often played in the mountains, she was not afraid of steeps, thorns, and she was afraid that she was not fast enough.

Suddenly, he tripped over a rattan under his feet, and the man fell like this, first on his knees, and then on his head. After tumbling down, Chu Xia didn't care about the pain, got up and continued to run.

Finally ran down the mountain, it was difficult to get a taxi here, fortunately the bus stop was not far away, there were still a few people waiting, and in early summer, I saw women and students waiting for the bus, and I was immediately relieved. I didn't see the man chasing after him.

One of the schoolgirls also asked her, "Are you okay, do you need help?"

Hatsu shook her head gratefully: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

The car back to the city soon came, and the schoolgirl helped Hatsu into the car.

After a while, the wound began to hurt faintly, especially in the right knee. In early summer, I saw that the pants on both knees were scratched, and I could see red blood, especially on the right side. There was also some swelling and pain in the forehead. She took the mirror out of her bag and looked at it, and her forehead began to bleed out.

She called Liu Xiaotong and called several, but no one answered. She thought that she might not have heard about her date with Li Zuqin, and she thought that it would be okay to wait for the next person to go to the hospital.

After getting out of the car, she needed to take another taxi to the hospital. But she found that it didn't work at all, just now she was afraid that the car would wait too long to be said, so she gritted her teeth and got out of the car, which would hurt her knees and make it impossible to walk.

Liu Xiaotong still didn't return the phone, and she didn't have any other friends, so after thinking about it, she still called Qin Nan.

After Qin Nan knew the situation, he asked her to find a place to sit down, and he came over immediately.

Twenty minutes later, Qin Nan came, finally saw an acquaintance, and was so moved that he wanted to cry in early summer.

Qin Nan picked her up in the car and took her to the hospital. In the car, Chu Xia told Qin Nan about what happened. Qin Nan asked her if she wanted to call the police, but Chu Xia felt that nothing had happened, and she was not sure if the man was chasing her from behind, so she said forget it, she was also troublesome.

When she arrived at the hospital, the doctor treated her wound, bandaged it, and told her not to touch the wound, not to touch the water, to be careful when eating, and not to eat too spicy, so as not to irritate the wound.

Qin Nan helped her rent a wheelchair and sent her back to the dormitory.

When he got home, Hatsu said apologetically, "I'm going to trouble you to entertain yourself." The water was over there, the coffee machine was over there, the fridge had fruit and drinks, no alcohol. ”

Qin Nan poured a glass of water for Chu Xia and himself, and he asked her, "Do you really like to draw?

Chu Xia lowered her head embarrassedly, every time someone asked her this question, she felt embarrassed, usually she would perfunctory past, but to Qin Nan, she could only tell the truth: "I originally learned to paint, because of some things, I didn't graduate, and I couldn't support myself by painting, so I did design work." ”

"Why didn't you graduate, did someone deliberately embarrass you?" Qin Nan asked.

Hatsu shook her head, "No, it's my own reason, I really can't tell you the specific reason, I'm sorry." ”

"Do you like painting very much?" Qin Nan asked this question again.

"Loved it, loved it. Chu Xia said, with deep intoxication and deep regret in his eyes, "At the beginning, I learned to paint for a person, and later, I really fell in love with painting, painting is my dream, but unfortunately, this dream seems to be getting farther and farther away from me." ”

"Haven't you thought about picking up your dream again?" Qin Nan asked.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't pick it up. Chu Xia's eyes flashed with infinite helplessness: "After leaving school, I also went to the 798 Art District in Beijing and became an art drifter. But every time I went to a studio to apply for a job, people's first reaction was that I was here to apply for a model. I told them that I was a painter, and without exception, they would ask me where I had learned to draw, and I would take out my diploma and look at it. I can't take it out, no matter how I describe Yulu Art Academy in detail, how I answer professional questions in detail, tell them who my teacher is, or even take out my work, they will look at me with a kind of contempt when they know that I have not graduated, as if I am lying to them, or they think that I am a person with a problem with character and style. Some even asked me directly if I would like to be a nude model for them at a high price. For a long time, I didn't find a job painting. Soon, I ran out of money and couldn't even afford to rent a basement. I can't ask my family if I want it, my family is rural, my parents are elementary school teachers, although they don't need me to earn money to support the family, but I am embarrassed to continue to ask them for money after graduation, I hide from my family that I have not graduated. ”

Chu Xia sighed and continued: "There is no way, I went to the downtown area to draw a sketch. Maybe it's still stained with the light of appearance," Chu Xia smiled, in addition to the danger that her beautiful appearance would bring her, it had also brought her a lot of benefits: "There are many people looking for my portrait, mainly men. I actually made a lot of money. ”

"Later, I met an owner who was in the collectibles business. He asked me if I would like to go to his company and help him draw the packaging pattern, which is actually the packaging box design, and it was in his company that I officially came into contact with the design work. Slowly, I moved from box design to product design, and I also started to get in touch with jewelry design. ”

"Then how did you come to S City?" Qin Nan asked.

"My boss, his company's headquarters is here, and a year later, he transferred me to the headquarters. He was actually a very kind person, and we got along very well. However, one time, when her wife saw us discussing work together, she got into a fight. I don't mean there's anything between me and her husband. I had no choice but to resign. ”

"With a small amount of savings, I went to Europe to see art up close and personal at museums that were previously only available in books and videos, such as the British Museum, the Louvre Museum in France, the Uffizi Gallery in Italy...... Sometimes a work can be watched for days. Later, when the money was almost spent and it was time to wake up from the dream, I came back and obediently continued to do the design work. During this period, I also sent emails to some large and small painters at home and abroad, attaching works to recommend themselves, but I did not receive a reply, or some words of encouragement that did not itch or hurt. ”

After Hatsu finished speaking, he exhaled in frustration and relaxation.

"Aren't those teachers and classmates of yours willing to help you?" Qin Nan asked.

"At the beginning, I insisted on graduating early despite everyone's opposition, which was a big taboo for the teachers, who would have a good impression of a student who had no one arrogant and arrogant in their eyes, let alone my classmates, who all thought I was a psychopath. What's more, in the end, it was me who had a problem, and the teachers felt that I was hopeless. ”

"Are you going to graduate early for that person?" Qin Nan asked again.

Chu Xia nodded: "I desperately want to keep up with him, but I'm afraid that if I fall behind, I won't be able to find him." ”

Both men were silent for a moment.

At this time, Liu Xiaotong suddenly opened the door and came in.

When she saw Chu Xia and Qin Nan, she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Am I bothering you, you go on, I'll go back to the room." ”

Chu Xia stopped her: "Xiaotong, come here." ”

She said to Qin Nan: "This is my roommate Liu Xiaotong. ”

He said to Liu Xiaotong again: "This is my friend Qin Nan." ”

Liu Xiaotong hurriedly nodded at Qin Nan, and then asked Chu Xia in surprise: "What's wrong with you?" She saw her gauze and the wheelchair under the seat.

"I fell a little, and now it's okay, Qin Nan sent me back. Chu Xia said.

"If you fall, is it really okay? It won't break the phase, and there won't be sequelae, why don't you call me?" asked Liu Xiaotong as he carefully examined the wound in early summer.

"I called, but you didn't answer. Chu Xia said.

Liu Xiaotong took out his mobile phone from his bag, and sure enough, there were a few missed calls in early summer, "Damn, I muted my phone, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, thanks to Qin Nan. Chu Xia said.

Liu Xiaotong said to Qin Nan: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, I'm also helping a friend. Qin Nan said.

"What were you talking about, keep talking, I'll cut fruit for you. Liu Xiaotong said.

"No need. Qin Nan stood up, "I should go back." ”

Liu Xiaotong still wanted to stay, "You can sit for a while." ”

"No, I'll have something to do when I go back. Qin Nan said, and said to Chu Xia: "You remember what the doctor said, don't get water on the wound, don't eat spicy food." Don't rush to return the wheelchair, I rented it for a month. He said to Liu Xiaotong again: "I want to trouble you to take care of her more." ”

Liu Xiaotong understood, and nodded hurriedly: "That's as it should be." ”

Chu Xia said to Qin Nan: "Thank you so much today, wait for me another day, and invite you to dinner." ”

"Okay. Qin Nan was very happy to hear this: "Just waiting for your words." ”

After sending Qin Nan away, Liu Xiaotong immediately asked Chu Xia: "Say, what is the relationship between you, okay, you, Ye Yun hasn't been sent away yet, so there is another Qin Nan, you will be killed this year?"

Chu Xia said lazily: "Don't you have anything else in your head except gossip? Qin Nan and I are just ordinary friends." She originally wanted to finish playing with Ye Yun, but she didn't say it, she didn't want to mention Ye Yun.
