"Please come in, this is my gallery." Yazawa stood in the doorway of a room at the end of the gallery and bowed for us to enter.

We now look inside the doorway, and the wooden door depicts a delicate little person, and the door is dotted with long garlands woven from dried flowers. The small wooden door hides a large space, and there are countless paintings hanging on the walls, including landscapes, plants, and zodiac signs.

"Yazawa, why don't you draw people?" I looked at the paintings on the wall and wondered.

I saw Yazawa look at me and smile, "Because I haven't found anyone I want to paint, would you like to be the person in my painting?" ”

My face instantly turned orange and red like a ripe persimmon, soft and glutinous ripe, and let it burn wantonly.

"Am I the one?" I looked at Yazawa.

Qijun interjected and said, "Miss, Young Master Yazawa is just talking about you." ”

The servant behind Yazawa lowered his head and snickered.

"There are so many beauties, if I are the first person in your painting, it is really reluctant." I bowed my head and said I'm sorry.

"Miss." Qijun tugged at my sleeve.

"No, I think you look good when you smile." Yazawa smiled at me.

Despite the lack of a promised smile, I agreed to him.

I sat quietly on a wicker chair, my back straight like a ruler, motionless and waiting for instructions.

Behind me was a huge olive-green curtain, and there were two or three small chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, very Western-style.

In Ziyang, this kind of chandelier should be bought in Xisheng Street, Xisheng Street is the life paradise of foreigners, many foreigners live and work here, but not all foreigners, like our tavern is operated here, often deal with foreigners. Su Wei always likes to take me here, saying that she can see a lot, and Jin'er goes more often, almost once every two days.

But when I saw the tall and burly man passing by me, I was terrified, for they were snow-white with snow-white skin, goose-yellow hair and blue eyes, and many black-skinned people lived here.

In the past, women's three-inch golden lotus, now the foot binding is abolished, and the soles of the feet can be seen as big as melons. In Xisheng Street, the soles of foreign women's feet are close to the size of men, and they walk generously and naturally.

Qijun was waiting for me at the coffee table outside, watching her have a good time, and chatting with the foreign female waitress.

"Will you be nervous?" Yazawa, who was arranging his painting tools in front of me, suddenly asked me.

I was stunned and said, "It's okay." ”

He saw that I was a little reserved, and told me a story: "Once upon a time, there was a blind girl, her name was Anne, and she was very fond of drawing. ”

"Like to draw?" I loosened my shoulders.

"Yes, she has had a keen sense of hearing since she was a child, and she relies on her own touch and brushstrokes to listen to the sound of the pen falling to identify the position." Yazawa closed his eyes and imitated Anne.

I got up and walked slowly to Yazawa, and I was intrigued by the story.

"At first, she painted ugly, but no one dared to say a bad word to her, they all praised her vigorously." He spoke with a bit of sensationalism.

"Then the people around her are so kind, this is a white lie." I walked over to the chair next to Yazawa and sat down.

"And what about later? Has she been living in lies all along? I continued to wonder.

"Actually, she has always been aware of this, and she knows that she has to accept these lies every day, so in the end."

I grabbed my knee and stared at him, "So what about the end?" Hurry up. ”

"In the end, she came up with a way to get the people who had deceived her to tell the truth." Between his eyebrows, he seemed to be ready to talk about the finale.

"What's the solution?" I leaned in and asked.

"I'll tell you next time." Yazawa shrugged and laughed.

I pouted in anger, but not as reserved as I had just been.

"Why are you like this?" I put my hands on my hips.

"Alright, sit down now, I'm going to start drawing." During the conversation, Yazawa had already prepared the painting tools he needed.

The young man in front of me was sitting across from me, sometimes looking at me, sometimes scribbling on paper. The light above my head made my face a little hot.

"Xining, you don't have to be shy." Yazawa stopped his paintbrush and said to me.

I suddenly looked at him in a daze, "I didn't." ”

"But you're blushing." Yazawa snickered behind the drawingboard.

I was ready to get up and explain everything.

"Don't move, I just drew a draft." Yazawa looked up at me.

So I sat quietly again, and the feeling of not being able to move was indescribably terrible.

I don't know how long it took, but it was finally over.

"Come here." Yazawa waved at me.

I lifted my skirt and walked over, the painting in front of me was really beautiful, not like me at all, the person in the painting was fairy, she fell in love with a smile, but I never seemed to smile so much.

"But I remember I wasn't smiling." I looked carefully at every detail of the painting.

"That's how you are in my heart." Yazawa looked at me sincerely.

For the first time, I realized that I really existed in a virtual painting, and I smiled unrestrainedly, and the picture that I couldn't even realize became real.

"This painting will hang in my gallery." Yazawa carefully removed the painting and placed it in a frame.

I quickly grabbed his hand, "Isn't this a gift for me?" ”

"Who said you were going to give you a painting if I painted it? Do I have to give it to a rabbit if I draw a rabbit? Yazawa suddenly reached out and touched my head, he was a head taller than me, and the sense of security was really solid.

"How is this the same? I am human. ”

"Wow, our young lady is so beautiful." Seven Monarchs heard voices coming towards us.

"Right? So this was my first portrait in the gallery. Yazawa pursed his lips and smiled.

"Thank you, young master, for painting our young lady so beautifully." The Seven Monarchs applauded vigorously.

"Xining, she just lacks self-confidence." Yazawa looked at me.

Later, I didn't speak, I just wanted to leave the Shen family with Qijun quickly, he looked at the back of me leaving and didn't stay, does he really understand my escape?

How could he understand my inferiority, I was like a rotten seed that could not grow, planted in the soil, although every day the jade dew continued, the more I was soaked, the more I sank into the mud, the more urgent, I almost couldn't breathe, but I still let myself slowly fall.

The next day, when I opened the window, I found that Yazawa had been painting under a big tree in the yard early in the morning.

But I remembered yesterday, and I was hesitating to go down and say hello.

"Xining, come down!" Suddenly, Yazawa yelled at me.

I woke up a few times to make sure I heard correctly, before I reacted.

"Miss, Young Master Yazawa called you!" One of the Seven Monarchs flashed in front of my eyes.

"What are you thinking? Come down. Yazawa continued to shout.

After the Seven Princes had washed me, I went down.

Yazawa stood up and waved at me, "You come over and see what I've drawn." ”

I walked forward quickly.

"You're lighter, they're sleeping." Yazawa made a gesture to cover his mouth.

It turned out that he was painting the orange cat I saw last time, and this time there were a few more kittens, and the kittens were dotted with a few pokes of orange hair, but the body was snow-white, where did this come from?

"Xining, have you found out? They have a few more kittens. ”

I walked over to Yazawa and sat down, counting carefully, "I found out, maybe two orange cats were born." ”

"This was brought here by my friend." Yazawa said, pointing to another building.

Isn't this the second son of the Wang family? It turned out that they had such a good relationship.

Yazawa said that Yo Tan has liked these fluffy things since he was a child, but the family is not allowed to take care of them, and these seemingly stray cats are all secretly brought by him.

The biggest orange cat, named "Cher", has been living here for three years, but has been hiding in the underground warehouse, serving and taking care of it. Recently, Mrs. Wang was relieved to adopt, but she couldn't enter the house, she could only serve in the yard, so that they could come out to see the world.

It is said that when Youtan saw Xue'er, she was held in Jin'er's arms, and Jin'er was about to throw it out in a cloth bag.

I remember that when Jin'er was visiting Xisheng Street, I happened to be behind her, and when I saw her being followed by a white-gray cat, she got bored and tried to kick the cat away. Then this time, it should be the stray cat that sneaked in and was discovered by Jin'er, and finally accidentally gave you an admonition and became the "pet" of the Wang family, so it can only be said that Xue'er was too lucky.

At that time, you looked in, a yellow head looked up, meowed, took out the bag, just the size of a palm, the newborn paw grabbed the palm of the child, and could only feel a small itchy tingle. Yazawa described to me that he was there at the time, and if you don't look closely, you really think it's a hamster. Now this "hamster" is growing so fast, probably because I feel that both arms are strained.

The royal father was a man who was also a gentleman and a harmonious man. Yazawa said that his first impression when he saw Cher was that she was a stupid, lazy cat who couldn't catch mice. What is a three-breed cat? It is often described as people who do not like to work and live in a confused way, called "Sanzi people".

Even though he was disgusted, the royal father found a strip of cloth for it to build a cat nest, a cup and a saucer in the corner of the wall, and a shoeshine mat next to it. It remembers its own place, but it seems to be dissatisfied with its cat nest and always sleeps on a non-slip mat. In the end, the entire mat was covered in orange cat hair, which caused Mrs. Wang's dissatisfaction.

"Cher is so cute." I crouched down and watched a couple of kittens rubbing their eyes.

"yes, you know that this guy is out of the house, otherwise how would he ask me to take care of these little cuties?" Yazawa also squatted down and reached out to caress it.

Lately, I have always seen my father and Ryu go fishing in a nearby lake, and when they catch a fish, they will order the servants to fry the fish until they are fragrant, and then put them on Cher's plate.

In my spare time, I sneak some food for them in the kitchen. I sat on a stool and watched Cher and the other kittens lick the food off the plate, a subtle and comforting feeling.

Sometimes, when they look at the fish on their plate, they will hide by the wall with the fish in their mouths and wait until they are done before coming out.

I wanted to pet but was afraid, so I picked up a branch and teased it out, and then, I gently stroked its back with the branch, and it raised its head comfortably, and from time to time it cooed.

"Hello Xue'er, my name is Xining."

"Meow meow."
