Jiang Yu didn't lie.

If he was just an ordinary creator, maybe he would be bruised all over her body, right?

After all, not every ordinary person can always maintain a normal attitude when he sees the goal that he can only reach after giving everything he can, and when he sees that others can overcome the obstacles with a light step.

But who said that compared to the other party's ability to eat by God's reward, he is really cheating?

Not to mention that Jiang Yu has been a very self-aware person from beginning to end. He may occasionally look at the people around him with a kind of mentality, but he has never developed a smug detachment.

Standing on the shoulders of those who came before you as a matter of course, and at the same time being complacent, thinking that you have reached the top, it is not the peak that you aspire to at the beginning, but just complete stupidity.

Because of this, he was able to face the problem of true whiteness calmly. Otherwise, you may squeak and squeak, think before and after, and become speechless. And then by this seemingly unfamiliar person, but in fact, in the face of the object he is familiar with, some sensitive psychological changes, a girl who is more sensitive than anyone else, is easily noticed, right?

Hearing Jiang Yu's answer, Zhenbai's face, which had always been Gujing Wubo, showed a shallow and elegant smile, and nodded: "That's ......."

Jiang Yu looked at the girl who seemed to have put down a boulder in her heart, and opened her mouth, a little unsure of what to say. Just when he was upset, in the corner of his sight, he caught Xiao Bury who came here quietly at some point.

He just wanted to scold his sister not to eavesdrop, but after thinking about it, maybe the relationship between Zhenbai and Xiaozhu is closer than himself, so if his sister's sauce that is full of coquettish skills is mixed in, maybe Zhenbai will choose to stay?

As soon as his thoughts turned to this, Jiang Yu thought of another extremely critical question, and it could even be said that it was a prerequisite for all his attempts just now - why would he want Zhenbai to stay?

As a friend? As a roommate? As a homeowner?

Isn't that the final identity okay?

For the time being, he could not sort through his slightly confused thoughts and find a reason for his actions.

Man is a very pretentious creature.

Sometimes it's just impulsive, but you just have to find a reason in your heart to convince yourself.

And when they can't find a reason for action in the first place, it is reflected in the specific behavior, which is hesitation. Don't say what you need to say, choose to remain silent; Don't do what you should do, choose to wait and see.

The girl in the hamster cloak stood not far away, watching this scene worriedly, biting her lip, not knowing what to do.

She has been here to "listen to the corner" for a while, although she doesn't know who Jiang Yu is talking to, but the smart girl, according to her brother's previous words, naturally quickly understands the current situation.

To be honest, she didn't want to go back in vain. You must know that these two behaved like sisters from the beginning - although in Jiang Yu's opinion, both of them are not bad, they are both sisters who need to be taken care of - and although Xiao Bury is quite loved by everyone at school, it also means that she actually doesn't have any special good friends. Maybe the famous dish of Ebi, who lives in the same apartment, is counted as one, and the one who doesn't like to say the word and has fierce eyes is also counted as one, and Hilfinsan, who has formed a deep friendship......

Because of this, Xiao Bury cherishes the friends around him. Not to mention that for her, Mashiro is both her friend and the creator she admires, especially the works of this creator, in which she is present.

This is a rare experience for a teenage female high school student who has been living a stable life without shock.

But the smart girl naturally understands that this is not the time to allow "friendship" to get involved. In the game's terms, this is an important event that will inevitably happen, so important that the impact of outsiders is minimal, and the change in the future is extremely huge.

And just when the brother and sister were scrupling about each other and couldn't speak at the same time, they didn't find the true white that Xiao Bury had arrived, and suddenly said in her ethereal voice: "I don't know what will happen in hundreds of years." ”

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his mind automatically filled up the unfinished meaning of the other party's words - being able to paint a famous painting in history may seem to others to be an extremely remarkable thing, but in the eyes of this girl who has been painting since she was a child, it seems extremely ethereal.

Generally speaking, if you have such great talents and possibilities, you will choose to embark on a path that suits your talents, right? Just like from ancient times to the present, countless capable people with lofty ideals.

But in the eyes of Mashiro, who really has this talent and possibility, he may only feel distressed.

She's a genius, she's not ordinary.

From the moment she held the brush, she was admired in this way, and was longed for by countless mortals.

So she can't understand the thoughts of ordinary people, such as Rita, such as Jiang Yu.

Most people can't understand Mashiro's thoughts, such as why he came to Japan and why he gave up painting in favor of drawing manga.

Jiang Yu naturally didn't understand Zhenbai's thoughts, but he understood the meaning of her words, so he just glanced at the mobile phone that was still on the call, and there were no words.

"I can't understand Rita's feelings, and I can't guess what Jiang Yu and Xiao Bury think."

Mahaku's expression was calm, and his tone was light, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

"Everybody says I'm not ordinary."

"It's really difficult in general."

"True White ......"

"It's really difficult."

"It would be nice if I were average......"

"There's no such thing!"

Just when Jiang Yu and Zhenbai were speechless, and Xiao Bury didn't know how to interject on the side, an awe-inspiring voice sounded.

Rita was carrying a large plastic bag, almost on a rampage, and suddenly came to Mashiro's side. Jiang Yu looked at the blonde girl's face flushed with excitement, and somehow a little pity rose in his heart.

She was the girl who scolded Mashiro for not being able to understand herself, and she was the girl who was bruised all over her body because of Mashiro's extraordinary talent, and she was the girl who wanted to bring Mashiro back to England and the world of painting......

And at the same time, she is also the girl who longs for the true white, and the girl who longs for the "unusual" of the true white is also her, and the girl who scolds and refutes the idea that the real white is eager to become ordinary......

It's hard to imagine what kind of experience such a girl of the same age has, and what kind of mental journey she has gone through to have the idea she has now.

"Rita ......"

Mahaku looked at her friend who suddenly came to her in a daze, and softly called the other party's name.

Rita put down the plastic bag in her hand, grabbed Mashiro's shoulders with both hands, and said seriously: "Mashiro, no matter when, don't deny your talent and possibilities. In my opinion, that's the real disrespect for your innate talent. ”

"And ......," Rita bit her lip and smiled a slightly self-deprecating smile, "Wouldn't that make it even more ugly for me to think like that before?" ”

"Rita......" Zhenbai frowned slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, "It hurts." ”

"Ahh I'm sorry! ”

Hearing this, Rita hurriedly let go of her hands and said to herself, "I'm sorry, it's so white!" I was so excited......"

Zhenbai shook his head expressionlessly, but Jiang Yu, who had been with him for almost half a year, could easily read that the other party did not have the slightest sense of blame, let alone Rita, who had been with Zhenbai for about ten years.

Looking at the two girls, Jiang Yu pursed his lips, put the phone back to his ear, and said in a deep voice: "You heard it too, uncle...... I think it's better to at least respect my wishes anyway. ”

"Huh?" Rita, who was greeting Zhenbai with a cold greeting, let out a soft sound when she heard this, turned her head to look at Jiang Yu, and said with a little surprise, "Is Yujun talking to Uncle Shiina?" ”

"Huh? That's right......"

Jiang Yu also looked at Rita a little strangely, according to what he knew about her, if Zhenbai's father wanted to bring Zhenbai back to England, then he would also tell Rita yes, but now it seems that the other party doesn't seem to know?

This thing...... Something seems to be wrong?

Just when such a thought flashed through his mind, Rita also stretched out her right hand at the right time and said with a strange expression, "You don't mind giving me a little bit, do you?" ”

"Of course."

Jiang Yu almost subconsciously handed over the mobile phone he was talking to.

After Rita took it, she naturally greeted her for a while, and then as she spoke, she suddenly glanced at Jiang Yu, and then sneered.

Jiang Yu scratched his cheeks a little uncomfortably, and Xiao Bury also quietly walked to his side, pulled the hem of his clothes, and looked at him without saying anything.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu just shook his head, and then rubbed his sister's head with a doting smile.

And Xiao Bury felt the long-lost intimate action, and a bright smile involuntarily spread on his cheeks, and the worry in his heart and the intention to ask were also much lighter.

After a while, Rita ended the conversation with Mashiro's father, and while handing the phone back to Jiang Yu's hand, she said with a smile: "Hehe...... I think, it seems that Yujun you have misunderstood something~~Ah! By the way, Uncle Shiina wants to say a few more words to you. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Although he had a slight premonition in his heart, Jiang Yu was still a little confused, and put his phone to his ear, "May I ask if my uncle has anything else to advise?" ”

On the other side, Xiao Bury walked up to Rita and Mahaku, and asked curiously, "What's going on, Sister Rita?" ”

Rita pursed her lips and smiled, and said inexplicably: "Probably Uncle Shiina didn't explain whether I want to go back to the UK or Mahaku." But maybe it was said on purpose, right? ”

"Uh......" Xiao Bury was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he also sneered, grabbed Mahaku's hand, and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to the next issue of Shiina Mahaku's manga serial?" ”

Mahaku nodded seriously, and responded in a somewhat erratic tone: "I will also draw the scene just now." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Bury raised his eyebrows a little stunned, and then his face was slightly red, and he puffed out his face and said, "I, I, I...... I don't care! ”

Rita looked at the two of them with a smile, recalling the news told by Mashiro's father before, and her expression was slightly reluctant.

In the past, I went back, and the willows followed.

And when I think about it, will it be rain and snow?

“…… Is that so? After figuring out the cause and effect, Jiang Yu pursed his lips a little depressedly, and then asked a little suspiciously, "But according to what you said just now, uncle...... You should be against Mashiro becoming a manga artist, right? ”

The true white father on the other end of the phone sighed again, and then said, "...... I didn't expect to hear my daughter's name from other men, and it seemed so unpleasant. ”

“…… You're kidding me, right? ”

The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched, and he seemed to understand what kind of character Zhenbai's father was—after all, if he could become a good friend with his father, where could he be serious when he was young?

"Haha......" Mahaku's father laughed heartily, and then immediately changed back to that calm tone, "There is no doubt that I really hope that Mahaku can become a painter." If you can draw like Mashiro, I think anyone would think it's better to be a painter. Everyone thinks so, and I don't deny that I'm one of them. ”

The next moment, the man's voice on the other end of the phone became softer than ever.

"However, I at least know that the so-called artist should not be forced by anyone to be a person."

It is true that a painting that is drawn reluctantly is unlikely to move the hearts of others, because emotions like this are surprisingly easy to express in paintings.

Jiang Yu often finds this from the original paintings handed over by Yingli Lili. And those feelings, without exception, are full of jaw-dropping enthusiasm. Especially after the two or three things happened between Xia I's childhood sweethearts, the creative enthusiasm in Ying Lili's paintings became almost overflowing.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yu feels that Ying Lili's character is very troublesome, but he will never deny her ability.

"I only taught Shinhaku painting. The dream that he couldn't fulfill was unconsciously entrusted to his daughter and bound her life. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just glanced at Zhenbai, who was making trouble with Xiao Bury not far away, and sighed lightly and shook his head.

Pinning one's dreams on one's children that cannot be fulfilled due to talent, time or material conditions must be an idea that all parents in the world will have, right?

The difference is simply to force the child to accept it, or to give it selectively. I want to talk about "Programmer in the Second Yuan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
