On Saturday, Araki Hakuro stood outside the crowded Ikebukuro Station with a bag containing an oil painting.

At this time, he saw a big beautiful woman in a white dress walking over.

Her legs are straight and slender, her breasts are straight, and her long hair is casually pulled at one side, and she looks as beautiful as a married woman who has just spent her honeymoon.

Araki Bai couldn't help but sigh, the senior sister is not only more mature than high school students, but her usual dress is so mature, it is simply a person's life.

"What's wrong, are my clothes weird?" Reiko Sawada asked a little confused.

Araki Bai shook his head and said, "No, Senior Sister's clothes are very good-looking." ”

Reiko Sawada smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go, go directly to my house?" ”

Araki Bai naturally didn't object, he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The people who heard the conversation between the man and the woman next to him looked sideways, the man's eyes were naturally full of naked envy, while the woman's eyes were full of jealousy.

Enjoying all kinds of eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred all the way, it wasn't until I walked into Reiko Sawada's house that Araki Bai was relieved.

The Sawada family is not an independent house like the Araki Haku's house, her family lives in a high-end looking apartment building, although the place is not as big as the Araki Haku's house, but the decoration inside is not at all comparable to the Araki Haku's house.

A 42-inch TV hangs on the wall, a luxurious crystal chandelier overhead, and a circle of Milanese sofas staggered in the living room, with a transparent glass round table in the center.

The surrounding walls are artistically painted, and to the left of the living room is a row of floor-to-ceiling glass windows that look out onto the lush woods and clear water lakes in the park outside the building.

"It's a nice environment!" Araki Bai couldn't help but praise.

Reiko Sawada smiled and said, "I like the classic Japanese-style house, where the family lives in the same house and greets the neighbors every day when they go to and from school. Unlike here, although it looks beautiful on the outside, it is actually very deserted. ”

Reiko Sawada's eyes seemed to drift to a distant era. When she was a child, she lived in a house that was far from what it is now, but there was her father, her mother, her friends next door, and the kind people of the whole street.

She shook her head slightly, returning herself to reality, and said to Araki Shiro, "Don't talk about that, you brought the painting, right?" ”

Araki Hakuro lifted the bag in his hand and said, "Naturally, I brought it, but the theme of this painting is not very good, so you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Reiko Sawada thought that the painting brought by Araki Haku was a nude painting, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry, I used to see that kind of painting a lot when I was a child, and now it's no longer strange." ”

Araki Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is not the kind that you can see often. ”

With that, he pulled the painting out of the bag and laid it out on top of the glass table in the middle of the living room.

Reiko Sawada stepped forward to take a look, and suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Indeed, this is not a painting that is often seen.

There weren't many paintings depicting corpses in the first place, but there were not many of them in history.

Just like the famous oil painting "The Death of Marat", although it shows a terrible assassination scene, the painting does not render the blood and horror at all, but deliberately depicts the sublime and tranquility of Marat's death.

The painting in front of me does the opposite.

Although he didn't deliberately exaggerate the death and horror, he didn't care about revealing the bloody scene of the girl being killed.

It's so real that it even makes people feel like they are lying with such a corpse in front of them, looking at themselves in the hollow.

And the painting doesn't have too much meaning, only a naked breath of death is revealed from the painting, so dark, so empty, as if symbolizing that all existence will be reduced to nothingness - but this atmosphere itself is not a problem, because death is supposed to be like this.

"This painting ...... It's too dark. ”

Reiko Sawada couldn't help but turn her head away, unable to bear to look at the godless eyes of the girl in the painting again.

Araki Hakuro said, "As I said, this is not the kind of painting that you often see, and its subject matter and theme are very curious. ”

Reiko Sawada looked back at the painting again, focusing her gaze on more details before she said, "Although the subject matter and theme are a bit curious, this painting is indeed a masterpiece." The person who painted this painting, in addition to knowing a lot about death, his painting skills are definitely masterful. Araki-kun, can you tell me who the person who painted this picture is? ”

Araki Bai shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know who painted this picture, my father won it back by gambling." ”

Reiko Sawada said, "What about your father?" He should know who painted it, right? ”

Araki said expressionlessly: "My father owes a loan shark and runs away. ”

"I'm sorry." Reiko Sawada didn't expect Araki Haku's life experience to be so complicated.

Reiko Sawada said: "I've already seen the painting, although the subject matter is not pleasing to the eye, but there should be people who like this painting, I will recommend it to my mother, so that she can help you find a good buyer." ”

Araki Baixin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then thank you very much." ”

Reiko Sawada asked, "So what price do you want to sell this painting for?" ”

Araki Hakudao: "6 million, this is my reserve price." ”

Reiko Sawada frowned and said, "I don't know if I can sell so much." ”

Araki Bai said: "If you can't sell it for 6 million, you won't sell it." ”

Reiko Sawada said, "I understand, I'll tell my mother." ”

After the business was discussed, the two fell silent for a moment.

Reiko Sawada is not the kind of girl who is very active, and Araki Haku, who was a first brother in love in his previous life and in this life, is very unlikely to please girls.

Just like now, when he saw that the two of them had nothing to say, he said, "Then, I'll go back first." Senior sister, I'm sorry for you to sell paintings. ”

Reiko Sawada couldn't help but speak, "Are you leaving?" ”

Seeing Araki Bai looking at her, Reiko Sawada lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"Araki-kun...... If you don't have anything to do in the afternoon, you can come with me...... Watching a movie or something? ”

After Reiko Sawada said this, she herself felt ashamed to death. She actually took the initiative to ask her juniors who were two years younger than her to go to the movies, and if she was rejected, she felt that she would not be able to face each other in the future.

Fortunately, although Araki Bai's EQ is not high, his IQ is not low, and he naturally knows the truth of taking people with soft hands and eating people's mouths.

Now that I want my senior sister to help, it shouldn't be a problem to invite her to watch a movie, right?

"No problem, senior sister, what movie do you want to watch? I'm in for a treat. Araki Bai asked cheerfully.

Reiko Sawada felt a burst of joy in her heart, and she smiled and said, "It's the new ...... that came out recently."

After that, the estrangement between the two seems to have been completely eliminated.

Araki Haku and Reiko Sawada came to the cinema with laughter and laughter all the way, and chose a romantic comedy to watch.

When she sees a happy place, Reiko Sawada will hug Araki Bai's shoulder and laugh happily, and when she sees a sad place, she will silently leave tears on Araki Bai's shoulder.

However, throughout the movie, Araki Haku's performance is very stiff.

His legs were pressed together, as if he was trying to suppress something.
