However, no matter how well the painting is, it is not real after all, from before to now, she has never felt so eager to see someone, and she doesn't understand why she wants to see Rong Cheng so much, in fact, what can she do if she sees it, the lives of the two of them are actually completely unrelated.

At the banquet that day, she had already clearly felt the gap between herself and Rong Cheng, he was so busy, he would be surrounded by a group of people wherever he went, unlike himself, he didn't have a sense of existence wherever he went, probably because of this, so she was not qualified to stand by Rong Cheng's side.

Looking at the painting she painted before, the picture was Rong Cheng asleep with his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as if he was dreaming a sweet dream, Gu Xinran reached out and touched the person on the painting, this was actually her own imagination, she had never seen Rong Cheng fall asleep at all, and always felt that even if he was asleep, his face should be more serious, not so soft.

Just as Gu Xinran was sitting in the pavilion thinking nonsense, he actually heard Rong Cheng's voice ringing in his ears, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Xinran felt for a moment that he was hallucinating because he was missing too much, and when he raised his head at the sound, he saw Rong Cheng appear in front of him, standing there with his back to the light, making people a little unable to see his face, Gu Xinran was completely stunned, and even forgot to close the notebook, just staring at Rong Cheng.

When she usually sees Rong Cheng, she sees him wearing formal clothes, but today he is only wearing a gray sweater, a pair of khaki pants on the bottom, and slippers on his feet.

Seeing that she didn't react, Rong Cheng reached out and picked up the notebook she was spreading on her lap and flipped through it casually, while looking at it, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, looked at Gu Xinran, who was still in a stunned state, raised his eyebrows, and said: "It looks like a painting, but I haven't studied it very seriously at first glance, why, do you like to draw?"

Gu Xinran only reacted at this time, the person in front of him was not his hallucination, and hurriedly snatched the book back from his hand and hid it behind him, blushing and stammering: "Well, hi...... Like. ”

Rong Cheng looked at her for a while, and said, "If you like it, let Rong Ze hire a teacher for you, study hard, you are just a primary school student with strong copying ability now, if you really want to draw well, I'm afraid you still have to learn." ”

Gu Xinran shook his head and said with some loss: "He...... He won't give me a teacher, and Madame won't agree. ”

No one knows how envious she is of those who can go to school every day, after she finished junior high school, Liu Jingui didn't plan to let her continue to study, and the summer vacation after graduating from junior high school gave her a job in the supermarket and let her go to work, Gu Xinran also knew in her heart that if she wanted to continue studying, unless she could earn enough tuition, otherwise, she would never want to go back to school for the rest of her life.

Therefore, in addition to working in the supermarket during the day, she also worked several part-time jobs, most of the money was handed over to Liu Jingui every month, and some of the rest occasionally bought something for her adoptive mother, and saved two or three hundred yuan a month for herself to keep, just thinking that she would have the opportunity to study again in the future, but now that she has arrived at the Rong family, she doesn't even have the opportunity to work.

Now that she heard Rong Cheng mention it, Gu Xinran realized that this desire in her heart had not disappeared.

But her situation in the Rong family, compared with the original in the Liu family, has not improved, but has become more unfree.

Rong Cheng also thought of this, looked at her for a while, and said, "Since this is the case, why don't I teach you to draw?"

Gu Xinran's eyes widened, "You teach me?"

Rong Cheng nodded, "What? don't believe me?"

"No, no, no, I believe I do, but ...... Aren't you very busy?" Gu Xinran asked with some confusion, "And...... Why are you willing to teach me?"

Rong Cheng walked up to her and sat down, crossed one leg, looked at her with interest, and said, "No why, you just think I'm bored and find something to do well, just say if you want to." ”

Gu Xinran nodded quickly, "Yes, I am willing!Really, I am willing, you ...... When will you start teaching me?"

"Starting tomorrow, every day at three o'clock in the afternoon, you come here, I will spare an hour to teach you, and when you are usually fine, you can practice by yourself, and show me the results once a week. ”

Gu Xinran was very happy, smiled and nodded in agreement, this is the most unexpected and surprising thing for her except for the day she slept in the same bed with Rong Cheng by mistake, from tomorrow, she can not only learn to paint, but also see Rong Cheng every day, this alone makes her feel very happy.

So on this day, Gu Xinran was in a very good mood, she gave a smile to everyone when she saw her, she was like a frightened little hamster before, she avoided everyone when she saw it, but today she completely lost that kind of cringe, even facing Rong Ze's stinky face, she felt that it was not so terrible, and when Rong Ze sneered at her, the corners of her mouth were still upturned.

Even Rong Ze was a little puzzled, she was scolded before, she was very aggrieved and was about to cry, but today she didn't seem to be affected at all, and her sunny appearance was dazzling, "Did you pick up the money?" Why are you smiling like a fool?"

Gu Xinran came back to his senses, tried to restrain himself, and reached out to press the corner of his mouth, and replied very honestly: "I didn't pick up the money." ”

Rong Ze was a little angry, although the corners of her mouth didn't turn up, but there was excitement in her tone that couldn't be hidden, "Then what are you happy about? I went to the small garden in the afternoon, and I couldn't give up when I came back, you wouldn't be doing anything unsightly behind my back, right?"

Gu Xinran was taken aback, thinking that she must not let Rong Ze know about her agreement with Rong Cheng, otherwise he would definitely not let him go, so he had to press his mood again, and explained to Rong Ze with low eyebrows, "In the afternoon, in the small garden, I played with Lao Hei for a while, and it ...... It seems to be a little closer to me now, and I'm a little happy. ”

"Really?" Rong Ze looked at her with some suspicion.

"Uh-huh, really. Gu Xinran staggered Rong Ze's gaze, preventing him from discovering his somewhat flustered eyes.

After thinking about it, I can only use that dog as an excuse, after all, that small garden, except for Lao Hei, there is really no second person who will run over for no reason, and she is not lying, in the past two months, she has indeed gotten along well with it as Lao Hei's feeder and wind releaser, although it is impossible for Lao Hei to do this kind of thing with her, but it doesn't matter if she brags about it at this time.

But thinking of this, Gu Xinran's mind couldn't help but return to Rong Cheng, why did he run to the small garden? It didn't look like there was something special to run over, because after telling her about painting, Rong Cheng left, and when he went downstairs to get dinner, he didn't see him.

Rong Ze still had some doubts in his heart, but he couldn't think of anything else, since this time, he has become more and more distrustful of the people around him, and feels that everyone is hiding from him, just because he is a waste now, lying in bed all day long, no one else will come to him except Gu Xinran, even Lin Mei, these times are less.

He was in a daze every day except for sleeping, and he thought too much about it, and he felt as if the whole world was hiding behind his back to calculate him, and he had no way to know the thoughts of these people, so he became suspicious.

Because of this, he almost didn't want to see Gu Xinran out of his sight, the only thing he could control in this family was this woman, so he was particularly concerned about whether Gu Xinran had something to hide from him.

Although he felt that this woman should not have the courage to deceive him, this feeling that everything was out of control made him extremely insecure, and his attention to Gu Xinran had reached an unprecedented level.

At half past two in the afternoon of the next day, Gu Xinran took advantage of Rong Ze's nap and ran to the small garden, Rong Cheng was already waiting there, the moment he saw him in the small pavilion, Gu Xinran only felt that his heart was suddenly beating fast, Rong Cheng was wearing a white shirt today, a black sweater vest was put on the outside, the sleeves were rolled up to the arm, revealing a well-defined forearm, the neckline was unbuttoned, and a pair of rimless glasses were set up on the straight bridge of the nose, and he was drawing with a sketchbook.

The sun on the early winter afternoon is warm and warm, neither making people feel violent nor cold, just like the feeling that Rong Cheng gives her now, just the right amount of softness and gentleness.

Gu Xinran stood under the pavilion, patted his somewhat red and hot face, calmed down a little nervousness by the way, and then walked up.

When I got closer, I found that Rong Cheng painted the scenery of the small garden, although it was just a sketch, but at a glance people could see that it was this garden, and even the old black kennel in the east corner clearly appeared on the paper, Gu Xinran's eyes followed Rong Cheng's pen up and down, and even forgot about nervousness for a while, the two of them drew one by one, no one spoke, and by the time Rong Cheng finished painting, it was already half an hour later.

Rong Cheng put the pen aside and asked, "How is it?"

Gu Xinran nodded and said, "It's good-looking, it's so good-looking, it's like the real thing." ”

Rong Cheng chuckled, handed her the sketchbook, and said, "I've given it to you." ”

Gu Xinran stared at his face blankly, subconsciously took the notebook, and said, "Give it to me?"

"That's right, and these pens, too, are for you, and you can buy new ones when you're done. ”

I don't know why, Gu Xinran felt that Rong Cheng seemed to be in a good mood today, although there was no obvious change on her face, but she could feel it, and when she realized this, she also relaxed a lot, walked to the side of the stool and sat down, and asked, "Why did you give it to me?" I have both the notebook and the pen. ”

Rong Cheng said: "I found that you like to ask why, I can afford to buy it, and you just need it, it's as simple as that, you can just play with those things, you have to learn seriously, you still have to have some decent tools." ”

Gu Xinran was a little ashamed, as if he had taken advantage of it, not only bothering him to teach himself, but also asking him to prepare these things.
