small

The rain seems to have stopped. Ah Ni took Zhou You by the hand, walked on the gray and smooth granite pavement, walked through the wet alleys, and stopped in front of a small building. Outside the gate is a special iron fence security door, open the security door, inside is a thick iron sheet, nailed with iron nails wooden door. With both hands, Ah Ni laboriously pushed the door open, then turned and carefully closed the door again. Zhou You felt that he was not going to be a guest, but to a prison to visit. He couldn't help but ask:

"Ani, why is your family so tightly defended?"

Ah Ni stuck out his tongue and said, "Now there are many thieves, and there are robbers, and the neighbors next to them have been stolen." My mom and dad are afraid of thieves. ”

Zhou You looked up, only to see that the courtyard wall was old and high, and there was a row of densely erected tiles in the shape of a book ridge on the top of the wall, and under the wall was a quiet courtyard. Under the window is a stout osmanthus tree, the bottom of the trunk is covered with a layer of green moss, and under the tree there is a blue-gray stone table and three stone benches. The pebbled path is lined with clumps of dark green Sudan grass. The small yard smelled of damp moss and earth. Zhou You immediately fell in love with this miniature Suzhou garden. He thought that if he sat under the osmanthus tree with the Ani family on a moonlit night in autumn, he would have a Soviet-style taste and enjoyment that he had not yet experienced.

Ah Ni opened the two doors on the first floor of the small building again, and Zhou You followed her into the living room downstairs. The living room is very spacious, obviously carefully renovated, close to the wood color of the wainscoting, the light yellow faintly appears brown wood grain, like a huge picture frame, set off several dark Chinese painting landscapes and calligraphy banner works on the wall, conveying the atmosphere of the age. The floor is also natural, only in front of the sofa, a small carpet of brilliant colors with patterns in an authentic Persian style. Under the window, there is a mahogany flower stand, a pot of dark green orchids, the flower pot is white fine porcelain, the slender leaves of the pot of orchids, hanging down leisurely, silently and quietly standing on the wall. The layout of the whole living room, a combination of Chinese and Western, the old house is newly decorated, and the cleanliness is full of elegance. There is a carved pane on the north wall of the living room, under which you can see the quiet river, and on the other side of the river are the houses on the other side of the water lane, with mottled walls and warped eaves, which are fluctuating in the water vapor after the rain, both far and near.

Zhou You suddenly felt as if he had walked into the landscape he had just painted by the river, and it seemed that his feelings this morning were not groundless, and an even more wonderful imagination began to attack him.

It had only been a few minutes since Zhou You stepped into Ah Ni's house, and Ah Ni had already led him around the entire small building. Next to the living room is the study and small dining room, the back hallway has a kitchen and bathroom, and above the narrow maroon staircase are the two bedrooms of Ah Ni and her parents, and in the middle is the small living room. Zhou You glanced at the door of the bedroom, and did not go in out of politeness, only to see a few rosewood frames hanging on the wall, inlaid with a few oil paintings. The lighting and furnishings are dominated by creamy white tones, and he found that the upstairs rooms are completely European. On the wall of the small living room next to Ah Ni's room, Zhou You saw his award-winning work cut out of a pictorial newspaper hanging in an inconspicuous corner. This somewhat made Zhou You a little excited.

Ah Ni was already excitedly holding a large stack of painting books and sketches to Zhou You. Zhou You looked at the watch and the light in the room, and said to Ah Ni that it was better to take advantage of this light to paint a portrait first, and then teach painting later. Ah Ni moved the chair to the window and sat down in a very comfortable and natural position. Apparently more than one painter has painted her.

Zhou You opened the painting box, first took out the landscape sketch he had drawn in the morning along with the drawing board, and leaned on the windowsill. Then he began to lay out new oil painting paper and draw a portrait of Ah Ni. Zhou You was very close to Ah Ni, and he wanted to draw her beauty with a single stroke.

"Hey, uncle, please wait a minute." Suddenly she jumped out of her chair and ran away. After a while, he came over with a glass box, leaned in front of Zhou You and said, "Uncle, do you eat zongzi candy?" I really like to eat Suzhou zongzi candy, there are pine nuts in it, you see, the ...... grains are as transparent as amber."

Zhou You glanced at it attentively. Indeed, as Ah Ni said, the triangular sugar grains are embedded with transparent pine nuts, and there is a cool and refreshing fragrance. He told Ah Ni that in fact, when a painter is faced with a good thing, he often sees it with his eyes than tastes it with his tongue.

"Then I won't eat with my mouth, I eat with my eyes, okay?"

"I can listen to music while I paint."

"No, I'm going to talk to you."

Zhou You's skills in finding shapes were basically passed when he was seventeen years old. He quickly pinpointed a few key shapes of Ah Ni's face, and immediately began to lay out the color. What surprised him the most was the translucency of Ah Ni's complexion, where the light was shining, the transparency increased, and the backlit earlobes and nose wings were so transparent that even the small blood vessels inside were clearly distinguishable; The entire face is centered on the bridge of the nose, and the transparency spreads outward in turn, slowly fading until the contour line. It's like a fresh milk grape full of juice.

Zhou Yougang came to the wet Jiangnan from the dry north, and he was used to seeing the rough and dry skin of northern girls. However, at this moment, in front of Ah Ni, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he felt that not only his eyes were clear, but even the feeling of his whole body was clear. In the past few years, in the increasingly dirty and mercenary environment around him, he often felt that his eyes, heart, lungs, blood, and even easels and canvases were gradually becoming dirty, and the originally clean spiritual oasis in his mind had been secretly eaten away by pollution sources from all sides. And the quiet courtyard in front of him and the pure and transparent Ah Ni are exactly the clear realm he longs for. He felt that his painting style would enter a period of bright and bright colors. Picasso had a "blue period" and a "pink period", maybe he will have a period of color transparency? Zhou You was so excited that his hands trembled slightly. He not only found a sense of beauty, but also approached a new style of painting.

I haven't been painting in such a state of mind for more than a year, and Zhou You's painting is very interested. Ani's beautiful avatar gradually appeared on the screen. He used the No. 2 small brush, like a miniature sculpture, to hold his breath and enter the final detailed depiction, drawing the two wild grape-like eyes and the two pitch-black eyebrows. He drew several times, and finally stopped his brush, took a few steps back and squinted at the tonal relationship of the picture, and then opened his eyes wide to see the cohesion of some brushstrokes. He was so satisfied that he finally expressed his feelings in the picture, and he was short of his clothes and hair. He looked at his watch and asked Ah Ni to stand up and rest, and Ah Ni ran over to look at the painting, and exclaimed happily:

"It's so beautiful. Uncle, your painting is so clean, the color is so thin, it looks like it's translucent. ”

"Do you like it?"

"I like it so much, I have a lot of portraits, and none of them are better than this one. The painting that Mr. Lu painted for me is not like me at all, the color is very thick and dirty, and it is not beautiful at all, and I don't want to hang it on the wall. Uncle, how do you draw so well? Teach me, I don't even dare to draw when I see your paintings......"

"Take your time, you are still young, you have to sketch the basic skills well, painting is not actually with your hands, but with your heart and brain......"

The doorbell rang, and Ah Ni ran to the cat's eye at the door to look, and brought Ah Xiu in for a while. Ah Xiu explained that she had come to see Ah Ni, because Ah Ni had never brought a "man" home, and she was a little uneasy, and called Ah Ni's parents. Ah Xiu looked at the painting and said yes, she said that this painting was better than Ah Ni.

Annie went back to her chair, knowing that she would be over in half an hour, and now she could move. She is an experienced little model, and Zhou You feels very relaxed when she paints for her.

In the evening, the iron gate outside rang. Ah Ni shouted: Mom and Dad are back! Ah Xiuying went out to open the door, and Zhou You was already closing the pen. He thought that Ah Ni's parents would also like this painting, and with this painting, he probably wouldn't be given a cold shoulder. Out of professional habits, he would love to meet the couple who gave birth to such a beautiful daughter.

At the door came a middle-aged man of medium stature, sturdy, and polite, with a smile on his face and a scholarly demeanor. Behind her is a middle-aged woman, wearing a pair of large wide-rimmed glasses, which are low on the tip of her nose, making her whole face look a little awkward. She wore an old dark gray scarf tied low on her head, covering most of her forehead and even her brows. The contour of his face is somewhat like that of Ah Ni, but his eyes seem to be rubbed into sand, half-squinted, and he looks very old-fashioned. She was wearing a large old trench coat and was about as tall as her husband, but she couldn't see her figure clearly. Zhou You was deeply disappointed: Is this Ani's mother? There is a world of difference between mother and daughter. He felt that the day's senses were working at every turn, but this was about to come to an end.

Like a little master, Ah Ni introduced Zhou You and his parents to each other. Ah Ni's father, Dr. Wu Hanxiong, held Zhou You's hand tightly and said, "Fortunately, welcome to you, a painter from Beijing." Oh, this is my wife, Qin Shuihong. His words had a strong Suzhou accent. Qin Shuihong smiled politely and nodded to him and said, "Thank you for painting a portrait of Ah Ni." Zhou You felt that the hostess's voice was very sweet, and in Mandarin with a little Wu ending, there was a kind of tenderness unique to Jiangnan women. When he held Qin Shuihong's hand, he felt softer and softer than Ah Ni's hand. He was about to look down, but the hand was already retracted.

It was almost evening, the indoor light dimmed, Ah Xiu wanted to turn on the lights for them to look at the paintings, Ah Ni waved his hand again and again and said, "Let Mom and Dad come to the window, you can't see the big effect of color under the light." ”

Lao Wu and Shui Hong stood in front of the portrait of their daughter and looked at it carefully. Lao Wu's eyes seemed to be a little moist. He kept saying, "Great, great, this is my baby Ani, when Dad misses you, you are like this in Daddy's heart." ”

"Dad, uncle said that the name of this painting is Little Grape, Xinjiang Seedless Grape."

"That's right, it's seedless grapes, Ani is a sweet grape girl, Ani's meat is made of grape flesh, I kiss Ani, it's like drinking a sip of wine. Zhou You, you are so powerful, you caught her characteristics at once. If she hadn't learned to draw, we'd have let her learn dance. Lao Wu approached the picture again, looked at it and watched, and couldn't put it down. Thank you, thank you. Lao Wu said sincerely. This painting, Ah Hao gave it to Ah Ni, oh no, I'm sorry, can you sell it to me? I, her mom and I love this painting so much. ”

Zhou You was embarrassed and said: "Doctor Wu, I understand your feelings, but I also like this painting, I haven't painted a work that I am satisfied with for a long time, and I can't paint every painting well." ”

Lao Wu shook his head, turned his eyes to stare at the water alley landscape painting on the windowsill, looked at it for a while, and said: "Look, this landscape painting is also quite good, I have lived by the river since I was a child, walking by the river every day, walking for decades, I should say that I am qualified to comment on the small river you painted, in my opinion, you have hooked the soul of our Suzhou Water City on the painting." You will be an amazing painter in the future, and you will definitely paint more and more good paintings...... So, please give me this painting, you must give it to me......"

Ani would also like to have a portrait of herself. She shook Zhou You's arm vigorously and said, "Uncle, just give the painting to my father, who is a famous surgeon in the city, and he never asks for help." By the way, I'll either sit for a long time and you can draw a new one. ”

Zhou You was inconvenient to insist any longer. He had no choice but to agree to copy one copy of this one, and then let Ah Ni choose it himself. When Ah Ni heard this, she jumped to her feet with joy, and said that if she copied it, she could still watch her uncle draw it from beginning to end.

Qin Shuihong had been quietly admiring the painting on the side, she was very attentive, and her slightly narrowed eyes narrowed even more thinly. At this time, she turned back to Zhou You and said, "It's not early, can you just stay and have dinner with us?" ”

Ah Ni immediately shouted, "Yes, come with us for dinner!" No, Mom, let Uncle Zhou live in our house, isn't there a small bed for guests in that study, but no guest has ever lived. Let my uncle stay here for a few days, and in addition to copying, he can also teach me how to draw! ”

Qin Shuihong seemed to hesitate for a moment, and asked Zhou You softly, "Okay?" ”

Zhou You's heart beat for a while, this suggestion was in the middle of his heart, and he quickly nodded again and again. He felt that Lao Wu and his wife were quite hospitable, not at all like the southerners that people often talk about, shrewd and stingy.

Qin Shuihong said again: "If you are free, I would like to ask you to paint a portrait of me." I won't be at work for the next two days, so you can draw more calmly. ”

Zhou You couldn't see Qin Shuihong's face clearly in the fading light. He didn't really want to paint this middle-aged woman. But he also felt that there was something mysterious about the hostess, the kind of affinity that controlled this warm home. When he first walked into this family, he was very haunted by this sense of affinity. He thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, if you have two days, you can draw bigger." I will also teach Ah Ni well, I like your daughter very much. ”

Qin Shuihong smiled and said, "Then now you are Ah Ni's uncle and teacher." In the future, when you come back to Suzhou, it will be like your own home. The small city of Suzhou has changed quite a lot economically in recent years, but it is still closed in concept. I teach art theory at the academy, and I'd love to talk to you about modern art......"

"Then hurry up and let Zhou You move over." Lao Wu interrupted them and said, "Go now, go and come back quickly." Came back just in time for dinner. A-Ni, go and show your teacher the way. ”

Ah Xiu went outside and called a tricycle to come so that Zhou You could check out of the hotel and bring his clothes and utensils.

Along the way, Ah Ni was like an enthusiastic little tour guide, constantly talking about here and there. She kept holding Zhou You's hand, and her whole body was tightly leaning on Zhou You. Zhou You felt Ah Ni's body temperature, as well as the fragrance that overflowed from her hair, which was actually a feeling completely different from that of a girl in the north. His head was a little dizzy. He didn't know if a girl of this age was coquettish, or if she was vaguely telling him something. He thought he should make her understand that he was her teacher and uncle, and that he couldn't stick to him so affectionately. He put it mildly:

"A-Ni, you're about to grow into a big girl, you can't, oh, you can't always rely on someone else like this."

Ah Ni pursed her lips and replied, "My dad likes me to stick to him." If I like someone, I will do this. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't even look at him. Mom is the same. ”

Zhou You had nothing to say. He thought that when Ah Ni grew up in the future, she must be an amorous woman. However, her future is still far away, and this is not within the scope of his concern.

Zhou You was puzzled by his series of adventures in just one day.

Back in the Wu family's small building, the smell of food wafted from the small dining room next to the living room.

Zhou You put away the luggage and painting utensils, washed his hands, and walked into the small restaurant. As soon as he entered the door, he felt as if he had been struck by a flash light, and as if he had been left on the bottom of the photosensitive film, and he would not move: next to Ah Ni sat a young woman who looked like Ah Ni's big sister, about twenty-six or seventeen years old. If Ah Ni hadn't sat next to her, Zhou You would have thought that Ah Ni had grown up in an instant and turned into a beautiful mature woman. Under the bright light, her scorching brilliance rushed to her face, blocking Zhou You at the door, unable to move.

"Mom, what do you think of Uncle Xiao Zhou?"

Ah Ni's children's voice was like another lightning strike, which made him dizzy as if he was overexposed, and his thoughts went blank. What the? Mom? Could it be that this stunning woman in front of her is the Qin Shuihong she had seen just now? Zhou You made up his mind, walked to the dining table, and sat opposite her. The expression on his face was white, as if the picture in the darkroom had not yet been developed.

"Come, let's have some tea first." Shui Hong greeted him with a smile. "This is our Biluochun in Suzhou, a new tea in April, just on the market, I think you will like it."

"Are you really Ah Ni's mother Qin Shuihong?" Zhou Youzhi asked in a daze. For the first time, he, a man who eats by sight, had extreme doubts about his eyes.

"Let's look for it and see if Ah Ni still has a mother?" Shui Hong teased.

"My mom gave you a little magic trick." Ah Ni couldn't help but interject. "She took off her glasses and headscarf, took off her big robe, washed her face, removed the makeup off her face, and put on a woolen sweater, wow, she was completely new, and as soon as her mother came home, she became a different person."

"It's like the snail girl and the mussel girl in the old play, and finally showed their original form." Lao Wu continued.

Everyone laughed. Zhou You was undecided, picked up the glass and took a sip of tea.

He had heard of Biluochun, a famous tea from Taihu Lake, but at the moment, the light tea was tasteless in his mouth.

Lao Wu beckoned everyone to move the chopsticks, and the brightly colored dishes on the plate were colorless and invisible in Zhou You's eyes.

Zhou You held his chopsticks and looked at Shui Hong in a daze. The two figures of Ah Ni and Lao Wu at the table slowly faded, and the rainbow was like a painting, floating from the wall, and gradually being enlarged inch by inch in his pupils.

According to his own habit of painting, he first looked at the structural relationship of the rainbow's face. He felt that at first glance, it was difficult for Rainbow to immediately detect the true subtleties of her intriguing beauty. For the first time in a few years, Zhou You has seen this kind of natural beauty without any traces of makeup. A beauty that radiates from the inside out and penetrates from the outside in. The egg-shaped face that is close to perfection, the contour line is soft and smooth, the complexion is white and reddish, extremely delicate and smooth, almost translucent, like silk like agate, no, no, it is more like a white swan egg faintly penetrated by the backlight in the depths of the lake in spring. Her jet-black soft hair was pulled up high, and her bun was like a little black swan with a curved neck. This strong contrast of white and black colors makes the rainbow noble and natural beauty, noble as a queen stepping on the velvet carpet leading to the throne; Nature is like the grassland and the swan lake that is inaccessible in the early morning. Zhou You made a hard note of this first impression, and turned to look for Shui Hong's eyebrows.

Shui Hong's two slightly curved eyebrows, with slightly upturned eyebrows, made Zhou You deeply surprised. He found that the beautiful eyebrows hardly resembled the usual hair of the human body, but like a finely crafted piece of embroidery. The day before yesterday, he had just visited the Silk Museum in Suzhou, and the eight words of "flat, light, qi, even, harmonious, smooth, fine, and dense" pursued by Suzhou embroidery art could all be reflected in the two eyebrows of the rainbow in addition to "flat". Her eyebrows are not drawn plainly, but with delicate embroidery needles and silk threads as thin as a gossamer, stitch by stitch. If it weren't for Shui Hong's two eyebrows moving slightly with her expression when she spoke, he really felt that he was facing a silk artwork from the hand of his ancestor. The eyebrows raised slightly, Zhou You's heart seemed to be provoked by something, he really wanted to get closer and take a look, if he could kiss them, what kind of magical and wonderful feeling would it have?

Zhou You finally gained the courage to touch Shui Hong's gaze. As soon as the two eyes met, Zhou You seemed to be struck by lightning again. The pair of olive-shaped black eyes, like a pool of blue and deep blue waves, made Zhou You feel unfathomable beauty. Zhou You's gaze was scattered several times by Shui Hong's dreamy, quiet and misty eyes, and he felt that his eyes could no longer focus, challenge, or even reorganize to meet the smile in her eyes. Rainbow's eyes were the most personal part of her amazing beauty, and he looked at her with only the feeling that he could barely find it. Not only was his gaze scattered and pierced, but even his heart seemed to have been hit hard, and suddenly there was a hot and spicy crispy feeling, which jumped out of his chest.

Zhou You almost took down the chopsticks, he ate indiscriminately, and could only rely on words to detour the lightning of her gaze. He said to himself:

“…… Generally, women put on makeup to make themselves beautiful, but I didn't expect Rainbow to wear makeup, but it was to cover up her beauty, otherwise, walking on the street like now, it would be a big trouble......"

Lao Wu nodded and said, "Xiao Zhou, it's really not easy to be Shui Hong's husband, for more than ten years, I haven't had a day without worrying." You see, my house is not small, but even the nanny didn't dare to invite, I had invited one before, and she was bought by the bad guys in a few days, and Shui Hong's whereabouts made it clear. Once when she went out to see a friend, she was stopped by three bad guys on the way, and there was a car parked next to her, if it weren't for two traffic policemen passing by, she was afraid that she would have been kidnapped. Only me and the nanny knew about going out, so I had to get her back that night. ”

Shui Hong intercepted Lao Wu's words and said, "Oh, don't talk about these scary things, Xiao Zhou, hurry up and taste the Suzhou food I cooked." ”

Ah Ni scooped a spoonful of fried shrimp into Zhou You's small plate, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, didn't you ask why our house is full of iron windows and iron doors, Dad said that there are many good things in the house, but the best things are my mother and me." ”

"It's not just a good thing, it's a truly priceless treasure." Zhou You also laughed.

"Hey, Xiao Zhou, are you married?" Lao Wu asked as if unintentionally.

"Not yet, my girlfriend has had it......" Zhou You vomited for some reason. One of them married to the United States, and the other went somewhere......"

"Since then, I've been coming to Suzhou often." Old Wu Chao Zhou You blinked, as if there was something in his words.

"Uncle Xiao Zhou," Ah Ni suddenly interjected and said, "When I grow up, do you want me?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shui Hong hurriedly interrupted Ah Ni. "It's not a movie show."

"I'll just ask, I didn't say now, I said later." Ah Ni laughed.

"That can't be asked. Uncle Zhou is an adult, you are still a child, he is more than ten years older than you! ”

"Then Daddy is a decade older than you."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhou, don't mind." Lao Wu played a round game. "Today's children, when they speak, are earth-shattering and scared to death, half-understanding and incomprehensible, making people cry and laugh. Come on, everyone go to the living room to sit, drink some tea, talk about the day, and then go upstairs to rest. ”

After dinner, Shui Hong reminded Ah Ni that he should go to his room to do his homework, Ah Ni looked reluctant, but thinking that Zhou You would stay here for a few days, he said goodnight to him, and jumped upstairs. Zhou You and Lao Wu and his wife chatted in the living room. Although Zhou You was soulless and absent-minded, he was intermittent, and he still listened to it a little bit and had a general understanding of the Wu family. He listened to the part about Shui Hong word for word, and knew that Shui Hong's maiden home was in this alley, and his parents were intellectuals, and now unfortunately they have passed away. Shui Hong is not yet thirty-two years old this year. When she graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, society was still very chaotic, and many men pestered her, so she couldn't stand this kind of chase, so she married Dr. Wu Hanxiong. Lao Wu was eleven years older than Shui Hong, and he was almost thirty years old at that time. The Wu family has extensive social relations, and Dr. Wu's father is a well-known person in Suzhou **** and a famous surgeon. After graduating from medical school, Dr. Wu Hanxiong inherited his father's business, and a few years later, he also became a famous knife in the city. The house they live in now is the private property of the Wu family that was returned after the end of the "**", and Mr. Wu is still alive, and there is another garden mansion on the side of the Wen family. After Shui Hong gave birth to Ah Ni at the age of nineteen, just in time for the second year of the resumption of the college entrance examination system, Lao Wu asked her parents to hire a nanny to take care of the child and support her to be admitted to a university in Shanghai to study art history. After graduation, he was assigned to teach at a college in Suzhou, and was rated as a lecturer a few years ago.

Zhou You listened, and responded mechanically. The palms of my hands were sweating all the time, and my forehead was getting hotter and hotter. He felt thirsty, never so thirsty as he was today. He kept gulping down the tea, and the cup quickly shallow down, and Shui Hong came over, gently pressing the top lid of the pressure kettle with his white and delicate hands to add water to him.

When the water is poured into the cup, the posture of the water flow is as turbulent and urgent as a splash.

The whole cup looks emerald green, with a thin layer of white fur on the rim, and jasper-like leaves gently rise and fall in the water. The tea has a refreshing aroma, with a slightly bitter taste sliding down the throat, but slowly tasting a sweet taste on the tip of the tongue.

There was a bitter and delicious taste, which slowly rose from Zhou You's heart and slowly sank down.

That night, Zhou You had insomnia.

In his career as a 29-year-old painter, he has drunk black tea, brick tea, oolong tea, in large bowls in the bamboo building on the seaside of the plateau, and even if he drinks strong and mellow tea before going to bed, he can sleep peacefully. However, how did this seemingly light and soft Taihu Lake Biluochun unconsciously disturb his mind bit by bit, and conquer him, a northern man, with a cup of tea?

Zhou You understood that he had fallen in love with Shui Hong.

This love seemed to be different from every previous one, so fierce and urgent. It was as if a fireball was burning in his chest, about to explode into a ball of flames, first burning himself and then boiling the water of the creek beyond the walls. So what about the rainbow, will it rise into the sky with him in the firelight, or will it turn into ashes and drift to the cold north with the gentle wind of Taihu Lake?

Zhou You's eyes widened in distraction, staring at the thick floor slab above his head. Shui Hong is on his upper floor at the moment, like a god of beauty floating in the air, out of reach. It is only the first floor away, and it is like nine heavens away. Now he has met the lover of his dreams, but the goddess of love does not know where to go. He hated this cozy little courtyard, with its high walls and heavy floors, like a strong and fortified city, where a peerless and rare god of beauty was imprisoned. How will he conquer this gentle castle in the alley?
