Gu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes when she saw the three stars above her head, she didn't know what was going on around her, she only felt that her entire body was in nothingness; If it weren't for the touch and warmth of other people on both hands, she would have felt like she was going to be swallowed up by the fear of losing her sense of security.

Gradually, she realized that she had a real feeling under her feet, and her little hanging heart relaxed slightly, and she could be sure that she had really stepped on the ground, but she still did not open her eyes.

I really don't know what I'll see when I open my eyes......

In the midst of the struggle, the sound of hurried footsteps and plates falling on the table could be heard from time to time, and even the sound of the fabric of the clothes rubbing against the corners of the wooden table could be heard, and her intuition told her that the fabric came from a cheap apron.

For the first time, Xiaoxiao realized that her hearing was extremely subtle when she closed her eyes like this, because at this moment, all the sounds she heard were automatically transformed into concrete images that appeared in her mind. She didn't know if it was a change that every human spirit had after death, or a temporary sexual ability that had been given because it had transcended the ages; But anyway, it's great! At least she can avoid some people and things she doesn't want to see.

Although this thought itself is a disguised escape, she can only keep comforting herself that she is a cowardly human being, and she really can't be unmoved.

Because those who feel heartache because of grief are called human beings.

The smell of food was in the air. "Medium-rare slices of bacon, thick black tea, freshly boiled eggs, fresh butter, and crispy slices of toast, ......hmmmm," Xiao muttered unconsciously, and as it appeared in her mind, she couldn't help but drool at the corners of her mouth, and moaned intoxicatedly; Feeling that her little belly began to "gurgle" with the owner's heart, she couldn't help herself to feel cute, so she burst into a silent smile.

Suddenly, there was a "bump" sound that cracked overhead. This sudden attack shattered a small "sweet dream". She subconsciously covered her forehead. With tears in his eyes, he opened his eyes to look at the culprit of the great evil, and saw that Afa's smiling and cold face was only as close as the shortest distance between the tip of his little finger and the tip of his thumb.

Xiao Xiaoqiao's face flushed, rubbing the big bag on her head that wanted to bulge, pouting but not speaking.

Afa was stunned. Why didn't this little "hedgehog" "blow up"?

Saying...... Compare this. He preferred her oblivious and arrogant appearance.

I always feel. That kind of lawlessness is enough to eliminate all the ill-wills and thorns in the world, even if the end of the road is not enough.

Afa felt embarrassed at first, and faced a small stillness like stopping water. For the first time, he couldn't help but be speechless.

The exchange between the two ended in a hurry.

****

Anyway, because of Afa's provocation, Gu Xiaoxiao finally opened his eyes.

Looking around, she saw the five of them standing in a living room. The room wasn't very spacious, and judging by the yellowed walls and cheap furniture, it was enough to deduce that the family was an absolute commoner.

"Fa, it's so shabby here!" Luo Lili looked disgusted, she stretched out her arms to wrap around one of Afa's arms, and then leaned her whole body against him, coquettishly to him, "Let's go out!" ”

Alpha showed a hint of displeasure on his face, but he still responded with persuasion, "We are here for business, you know?" ”

"But, you said you were on a trip!"

"Go back if you don't want to." Alpha's eyes suddenly turned cold, for him, not everyone's bargaining can enter his ears, and this special only refers to a certain hedgehog.

Shaking his head and shaking off those disturbing words, remembering the aroma of the food just now, he licked his lips and shifted his gaze to search, but he just caught Michelangelo who wanted to steal it.

Without saying a word, she reached out and grabbed the hem of the old man's coat to stop the thief's act in time, although she had to admit that she wanted to do the same.

"Tiny, you are good! I'll give you half of it! Michelangelo tried to win over the fat woman who was salivating in front of her and pretending to be calm.

"Hmph, that's not going to work!" Xiaoxiao shook her head, wanting to show her firm position, but unfortunately her stomach was in opposition to her at this time, and the "grunt" rang endlessly, which made it clear that she was smashing her own field!

"You see, starvation is not good for your stomach! Can you bear to grieve your stomach like this? Michelangelo began to adopt a roundabout tactic towards Xiaoxiao, and along the way, he also put on a sincere expression of "sympathy and deep understanding", which made Xiaoxiao have to be moved.

"Yes, yes...... Ha. The little one replied hesitantly, and finally a little loosened in his heart, but at this moment a woman happened to walk in through the door.

The five of them looked over at the same time, only to see the woman who appeared in front of them, it seemed that she should be about twenty years old, petite and slender figure, soft complexion, a head of brown hair exuding shiny, a delicate goose egg face, a pair of big eyes with a smile.

Gu Xiaoxiao saw the woman who suddenly appeared, and hurriedly explained nervously, but saw the woman walking to the dining table and fiddling with the tableware, Xiaoxiao realized that this woman couldn't see them.

"Monsieur van Gogh, it's time to wake up!" The woman suddenly shouted in the direction of the staircase leading to the upstairs room.

"I'm awake, Miss Ursula!"

Without warning, the sound of a response suddenly sounded, and the five of them froze in unison, and this uninterrupted refreshment was enough to see how much the speaker was looking forward to hearing the woman's voice.

"No, you weren't awake just now, you only woke up at this time." The woman who was called Ursula giggled, and then walked over to the kitchen table and brought the prepared breakfast to the table.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Asu on the side and found that she was like a puppet at the moment, her eyes were sloppy and there was no divine light.

Aso, she ...... Can't believe this scene at this moment?

Upstairs. It's upstairs...... What she's been looking for...... Vincent. William. Van Gogh.

There were footsteps coming happily from top to bottom, and Xiao Xiao looked at Asu, who began to tremble faintly, and her worried feelings prompted her to want to go to Asu's side and hold her hand; But just as they took a step, a figure appeared at the turn of the stairs facing them.

In the early morning, the streamer through the window pane dissipates and tilts like a fog at the corner of the staircase, and if you look closely, you can see the dust in the air "dancing lightly", slowly descending along the almost transparent waterfall.

The man who appeared at the turn of the stairs. The back blocks the flow of light and changes the path of light. Now. The light that surrounded the entire outline of his head made his countenance seem dim to them.

Walking down slowly step by step, the man changed his hurried panic a second ago, and only politeness was left at this moment.

Aso stared in amazement at the man in front of her who had made her think about it, a young figure she had never seen before—long, thick red hair. The beard on his face was cleaned very cleanly. He wears a stiff white low-necked shirt on his upper body. He looks like a gentleman.

Gu Xiaoxiao and Michelangelo were stunned at the same time, this was completely different from the raunchy and extremely bad man in their impression.

What did it take to make him look like that?

Aso stared blankly at the oncoming man, his mouth just slightly open. Before he could make a sound, he saw the man pass by with a smile on his face.

At that moment, Xiaoxiao seemed to see a slight change in the snow-like hair, and the whiteness reflected in her eyes was "deepening", Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, and suddenly understood that this was not an illusion.

However, if the qiē in front of you is true, then it is appalling.

I never thought that pure as white, even though it was already white and flawless to the extreme, it could be even more white like this, and even the ends of the hair had begun to shine with silver light.

Xiao Xiao stared at Aso with wide eyes, should he ......

****

Van Gogh and Ursula sat opposite each other, happily eating breakfast.

Gu Xiaoxiao walked up to Asu and pulled her to sit down on the sofa, "He can't see us." He whispered a little, wanting to alleviate the loneliness in Aso's heart.

"Yes, I know." Asu nodded stiffly, and at this moment, the bitterness at the corner of his mouth continued to extend, occupying the entire pretty face, which had been completely separated from the previous "eldest sister's head" and became two different deposits.

"Your wood rhinoceros has sprouted, would you like to see it before you go to work in the gallery?"

"Okay." Van Gogh replied, "Whether, that is, would you like to...... Take me to see it? ”

The two of them talked happily, but from Van Gogh's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, even an outsider like Xiaoxiao who was aware of it later, knew at a glance that Van Gogh was having a good impression of this Miss Ursula at this moment.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Asu could watch the man he had loved for a long time talk and laugh and eat with other women he liked from beginning to end, such a scene like a husband and wife, Xiaoxiao felt that her heart would hurt like being torn apart if she watched it for a second more.

Because for her, every time she saw Alpha and Luo Lili together, her whole soul would be dismantled bit by bit, and then inevitably reassembled, calmly waiting for the next ritual of debilitating muscles.

But what can be done about it? Because I care about him...... has unconsciously become her little instinct.

****

In London in April, when the morning was a little cool, Van Gogh and Ursula came to the courtyard, and Aso got up and followed them.

Xiaoxiao wanted to stop Asu's advance, because she really didn't want Asu to continue watching, but she also knew that she couldn't resist her.

Aso is not an ordinary woman, what appeared in front of her was the obsession of her petite body that had not changed for so many years, how could she tell her to give up......

The apple trees in the courtyard are adorned with trumpet-shaped white flowers, which resemble the fruits of American flowers, and exude a unique fragrance.

Van Gogh had planted poppies and pea blossoms here some time ago, when the wood rhinoceros had sprouted small buds from the soil, and they were crouching on either side of the seedlings, and their heads were almost touching.

"Miss Ursula."

"Huh?"

"I ...... I...... It's ......"

Hearing Van Gogh stammer, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes froze, and he stretched out his hand and dragged Asu out of the courtyard.

"Little, little......" Asu muttered, shaking off the little clamping hand that restrained him, and turned his body to go back.

Gu Xiaoxiao angrily grabbed Asu's arm and forcibly pulled her towards the street.

She felt that if she stayed there for a second longer, Aso would turn into snow and melt in front of her eyes until there was not a drop left. (To be continued......)
