Whenever night falls, the wide river surface is flooded with waves of shallow waves, the water color is darker than the sky, and the green neon lights wrapped around the riverside street trees are all lit up, like a jade belt that is extremely green and enchanting.

Tang Xueshan and her younger brother set up a stall by the river to draw comics, which can improve their drawing skills and make money.

She is wearing a flowing white dress, her long hair reaches her waist, and she exudes a strong artistic atmosphere, beautiful like a fairy, and the picture is not too beautiful.

Tang Jiawen was on the side to help attract customers, and there was a lot of traffic in this place.

Tang Xueshan was taken into his camera by a man as a landscape, and when the flash flashed, she looked up at him, and he turned his head a little embarrassed to take pictures of other landscapes.

As soon as the things were neatly arranged, a portrait of a pair of foreign lovers came. The lovers showed their affection while painting a portrait, touching, hugging and kissing, so infatuated, Tang Xueshan ate a handful of dog food.

Tang Xueshan has been drawing since elementary school, drawing quickly and well, and handing the drawn cartoons to the guests very dedicatedly, and the guests are very satisfied.

Not long after the foreign lover left, another woman came and asked the price, she was surprised why the price was so cheap, the painting must not be good, and after asking the price, she was ready to leave.

Tang Jiawen cheekily stopped the guests who asked for the price, "Beautiful young lady, my sister graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts, and setting up a stall is to experience life and improve her painting level, so the price is affordable." ”

"That's right, I'll paint it for you first, if you don't think it's good, we won't charge money, how about it?" Tang Xueshan got up from her chair and agreed.

The woman hesitated, then sat down.

The paintbrush in Tang Xueshan's hand wandered on the paper, her arms and wrists were raised up and down, the crayons rustled, and after more than ten minutes, the painting was finished, and she smiled and handed it to the woman.

The woman's first reaction when she got the painting was that the portrait was not like it, and she nodded with satisfaction after reading it, "Yes, fifty yuan, for you." ”

"Welcome back next time. Tang Xueshan happily accepted the money.

Another woman brought a little girl to ask about the portrait, and the little girl seemed to want to paint it, but the adult felt that it was a bit expensive and a little hesitant after asking about the price.

The woman said to herself, "I don't know where to hang it." Then he took the little girl by the hand and walked away.

With a "clang" sound, a coin jumped to Tang Xueshan's feet, and when she looked up, she saw Song Baichen who was smiling, and the hanging plaster on her arm was particularly conspicuous, she picked up the coin and threw it at him.

Song Baichen's body was sideways, the coin didn't hit him, he looked at Tang Xueshan with a hippie smile, "Why don't you set a bowl?"

"I'm an artist, not a beggar. Tang Xueshan threw him a roll of his eyes.

Song Baichen said with a smile, "A Japanese student has been reduced to setting up a stall, and it is really miserable. Otherwise, I will be merciful and let you go to work in my company. ”

"If you don't go, good horses won't eat back grass. Tang Xueshan suppressed the urge to get angry at this person, circled around him, and finally knocked on his hand on the plaster cast lightly, and asked, "Is your hand broken?"

Song Baichen hurriedly checked his hand, squeezed his eyebrows in pain and said, "You want to kill me." ”

Tang Xueshan laughed and mocked, "Which boss's woman are you molesting, and your hand is broken." ”

Tang Jiawen couldn't help laughing.

Song Baichen looked at her with slightly squinted eyes, and pursed his lips lightly, "If you fall in drag racing, you will be teased if you want to be teased." ”

"Brother, do you want to help draw one?" asked Tang Jiawen.

Song Baichen smiled, "How much does it cost to draw nude photos?"

Tang Xueshan was used to his impropriety, ", don't interfere with my business." ”

Song Baichen took the sketch on the easel and began to look at it, because the action was too fast, Tang Xueshan couldn't stop it, and the person on the painting looked exactly like him, "Is this painting me? Tell me honestly, do you have a crush on me?"

"It's not you, it's just that he looks like you. Tang Xueshan told the truth.

The girls are more reserved, he smiled, showing a "I understand" expression, stared at the sketch and shook his head, "The others are very well drawn, but this look always feels wrong, my eyes are obviously generators, why do you paint me like I have cataracts." ”

"I said it wasn't you. Tang Xueshan laughed out loud, her eyes looked straight at him, and in the poorly lit riverside, his eyes were very bright, shining like stars.

The other person's eyes are always like clouds, making it difficult to see.

Suddenly, there was a shout near the pier, "Someone has jumped into the river." ”

When they heard this, they also rushed to see the excitement, and saw two heads floating on the river, swimming to the pillars under the houses at the ferry pier to hide.

"Where is this suicide, it is obviously an escape. Tang Jiawen said.

At this time, the surrounding people were surging on the railing by the river to watch.

"The two men were robbers who were chased from the market to the river, and finally jumped into the river to escape for their lives. The onlookers commented.

The marine police quickly went over on a motorboat to carry the two fugitives up from the river, and the two squatted on the dock of the dock like water dogs, and were immediately handcuffed.

The police on the shore also drove over immediately, and even the ambulance came, and the ambulance saw that nothing had happened and left.

The robbed man ran over, and everyone was shocked when they saw the victim's face.

The victim's face was covered with blood, and his clothes were also bloody, and a long red knife mark appeared on his cheek, and the blood had coagulated.

Tang Jiawen was surprised, "Oh my god! ”

Tang Xueshan said with a smile, "Perhaps, there will be women who like the scars on his face in the future, and they will be blessed by misfortune." ”

"You two sisters and brothers still have the heart to joke, the people on this riverside are complicated, there are many gangsters and hooligans, the law and order is very chaotic, and there are often cases of robbery and theft. Song Baichen had a dark face, gently knocked Tang Xueshan's head, and said in a commanding tone, "You are not allowed to come out to set up a stall in the future, do you hear it." ”

"I want you to take care of it. Tang Xueshan looked at him dissatisfied.

Business here is excellent, Tang Xueshan's paintbrush waved, and after a night of painting, she stretched a little tiredly.

"Tang Xueshan. ”

Tang Xueshan raised her head when she heard the sound, she was taken aback, she didn't close her mouth for a long time, and her face showed an embarrassed expression.

Three gangster-looking men came to the painting stall, Tang Xueshan recognized the leader at a glance, and her heart trembled slightly.

It's Zhong Le, he is not much different from five years ago, he has a long scar on the left side of his face, which extends from behind his ear to the corner of his mouth, thin, indeed a little frightened, and her heart trembled slightly.

Zhong Le was imprisoned for three years for attempted rape, and now that he has been released from prison, he will definitely not let Tang Xueshan go easily.

"Do you remember me?" Zhong Le's thick arms were wrapped around his chest, his arms were covered with tattoos, and he stared at Tang Xueshan fiercely and said, "Long time no see!"

Tang Xueshan felt a burst of fear in her heart, glanced at Zhong Le in disgust, lowered her head and continued to pack up her painting tools.

Tang Jiawen glanced at his sister uneasily, and then lowered his head to help clean up the painting tools.

Zhong Le kicked over Tang Xueshan's easel with his foot, and said viciously, "Fuck, stinky, look how Lao Tzu killed you." After speaking, Zhong Le stepped forward and pulled Tang Xueshan's arm.

The smell of alcohol on his body was accompanied by a stench, which made Tang Xueshan feel sick to his stomach.

"You let go of my sister. Tang Jiawen wanted to step forward to rescue his sister, but was pushed to the ground by Zhong Le, and the pain hit his whole body, he shook his head and shook off the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness.

"Help...... Help, kill someone!" Tang Jiawen shouted, hoping that someone would hear.

"Stinky boy, do you want to scream?" Zhong Le heard the cry for help that shattered his eardrums, and suddenly became irritable, he raised his hand and slapped Tang Jiawen, his ears roared.

Tang Xueshan's heart sank to the bottom, fear instantly hit his heart, and he kicked Zhong Le's lower body with his foot, and he screamed in pain.

Zhong Le was completely enraged, and waved his hand to signal his two companions to come over to help, and they dragged Tang Xueshan with their hands and feet. She pushed them hard, only to get a few slaps on the head and face.

Tang Jiawen wanted to pick up the small wooden stool on the ground, but Zhong Le took the lead. He picked up the wooden bench and was about to smash it at Tang Xueshan's body, he was so frightened that he trembled and his eyes were closed.

Tang Xueshan was hugged instantly, feeling that his arms were soft, with a faint tobacco smell mixed with the fragrance of sage, which was exactly the same as the taste in his memory.

The bench smashed on Song Baichen's back, he glanced at the comer, and kicked Zhong Le's stomach, Zhong Le fell to the ground and covered his painful stomach.

The flames of war ignited, and the three of them were not Song Bochen's opponents, and they were defeated after a while. Seeing that the situation was not good, the group climbed into the motorcycle and drove away.

Song Baichen could still fight three with a plaster cast hanging on his hand, Tang Xueshan exclaimed, "The fight is very powerful." ”

"Of course. "He's a little arrogant.

She looked at Song Baichen's hand hanging from the plaster cast with concern, "Did you hurt your hand?"

"What? Do you feel sorry for me?"

"After all, you're here to save me, I can't be so unconscionable, reluctant, and I have to pretend to care. Tang Xueshan glanced at him.

Tang Xueshan knew that the days of her follow-up would not be peaceful, Zhong Le was a timed **, and her heart was panicked.

What should I do? As soon as she thought of this, Tang Xueshan felt that there was darkness in front of her.

At night in the river and sea, the neon lights are still flashing, the high-rise buildings are brightly lit, and the traffic on the road is intertwined with the lights.

Song Baichen stayed in the presidential suite of the Weilong International Hotel.

Tang Xueshan looked around and said, "You are too tyrant, you live in a five-star hotel every day." ”

He sat on the sofa and picked up the new cigarette on the table, tore open the seal, took out a cigarette in his mouth, and put his feet on the coffee table, "Yes, do you want to move in with you?"

Tang Xueshan snorted, "You are such a scoundrel, I won't send meat to the cutting board." ”

"You are so visionless, I am so handsome and young and golden, you can't look down on me. ”

"It's just that I don't have a vision for you. ”

"Hmph!" Song Baichen turned his head unhappily and said, "Do you want to die if you praise me?"

"I can't die, but I can't boast about it. ”

She shook her head helplessly and said, "Take off your clothes." ”

Song Baichen looked at her inexplicably, "What are you doing?

She said angrily, "You think too much, hurry up and take it off, don't talk nonsense." ”

Song Baichen took off his shirt in two or two times, and when he was about to take off his pants, he was stopped by Tang Xueshan, "What are you doing?

"You asked me to take it off, and you scolded me when I took it off. He was so depressed that he vomited blood.

She glared at him angrily, "Let you take off your shirt and take medicine, who knew that you were so arrogant and took off your pants." ”

He let out an "oh" with a slight disappointment.

Song Baichen took off his shirt, and Tang Xueshan saw that there was a deep cut in his back, and the red flesh and coagulated blood made Tang Xueshan's heart feel uncomfortable, because she knew that this cut was because Song Baichen ran over and helped her block the chair that had fallen down.

There was also a long "U-shaped" old scar on his back, Tang Xueshan reached out and stroked it, "Song Bochen, how did you get this old scar on your back?"

His face sank, "I was beaten by my mother." ”

She was stunned for a second, "What did you do wrong? Your mother beat you so hard?"

"Because I wasn't born to him, she hit me when she was upset. ”

She looked at this uninhibited, unruly, sensitive, alienated, dark boy in his heart but still retained his innocence, affection and childlike innocence.

"So that's why you don't want to go home and stay in a hotel all the time?"

"Pretty much. ”

She had no intention of probing into the privacy of others, and she didn't want to go any deeper into such a sensitive topic. It's just that she didn't expect that he, who was so sunny and bright, would hide such deep pain and sorrow.

She took a few cotton swabs and dipped them in disinfectant water to slowly help him wipe the epidermis of the wound, Song Baichen shook involuntarily, because the alcohol touched the wound.

She blew into his wound with her mouth, "Does it hurt?"

He turned his head and put on a painful expression, "Of course it hurts, it won't hurt if you kiss me, I said that kissing is the best painkiller in the world." ”

"Shut up!" she gave him a helpless look, then continued, "I'll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow for an X-ray to see if you hurt your bones." ”

"You don't have to go to the hospital for this little injury. ”

"Let's look at the insurance a little bit. After she took care of the wound, she tightened the cap of the anti-inflammatory pill, got up and said, "I'll go back first, you rest early." ”

"It's not safe for you to go back so late, or stay here today. ”

The door slammed shut.

In the bedroom submerged in the dark, on the spacious and somewhat deserted bed, Song Baichen, who was tossing and turning, blinked and looked at the time.

【AM03:30】

Although he usually has insomnia, Song Baichen doesn't know the reason why he can't sleep today. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, and Tang Xueshan's shadow seemed to float in front of him again. She usually wears a long white dress, which made Song Baichen return to campus, holding her hand, and her whole body was a little fluttery.
