Chapter 120: It's Not a Rumor, It's True
There were a lot of people who came to the bazaar, Bai He had to hold Bai Yuewei's hand tightly so as not to be crowded in the crowd, they walked through the stalls one by one, Bai Yuewei's eyes were gradually attracted by the things on the stalls, and sometimes even took the initiative to say to Bai He to take a look.
And Bai He was really not interested in these artistic things, and after a few glances, he was not interested, and finally accompanied Bai Yuewei to go shopping.
When they walked out of the gate of Guomei, Bai Yuewei already had a painting in her hand, and she looked very happy.
Bai He glanced at her and asked, "I remember that you also liked to draw when you were a child. ”
Bai Yuewei nodded and said softly, "But Mom doesn't like it." ”
The fourth aunt thinks that painting has no future, and she will always stain her face with her clothes, like a child from a poor family. So she has not allowed Bai Yuewei to spend more energy on painting, she would rather Bai Yuewei learn the piano, in her opinion, the girl who can play the piano is the daughter of a big family, which is more in line with Bai Yuewei's identity.
"Now that you're older, you don't have to think about it so much. It's not good if you're bored at home all day, so why don't you take this opportunity to pick up painting again? Bai He said as he walked forward, "Of course, the premise is that you have to like it, if you don't like it, it's a waste of time and energy to learn, what do you say?" She turned her head to look at Bai Yuewei.
Bai Yuewei lowered her head and slowly followed her, and after hesitating for a moment, she bit her lip: "I think it's good to stay at home." It's not stuffy at all. ”
Bai He got into the car and replied casually: "Then you just don't want to learn to draw?" ”
“…… Don't want to. Bai Yuewei said softly.
"Do you know who the person just sold you the painting?" Bai He suddenly said this.
Bai Yuewei looked at her, and the person who sold her the painting was an elderly woman with gray hair and a very temperamental temperament. However, the owner of the stall was a male student, and the old woman should have come to help him.
However, Bai He denied her idea, "That's the principal of Gome." ”
Bai Yuewei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?" ”
"I asked her." A woman who is more than half a hundred years old and well-dressed and neat appeared at the charity bazaar of Gome, not only kind and polite, but also very talkative, and her gestures gave people a good feeling. So Bai He chatted casually with Bai Yuewei when she was squatting to choose paintings, and learned that she was the principal of the Gome Academy.
"In a few days, Gome will open off-campus enrollment, not orthodox enrollment, but a special interest class for people who are interested in painting but don't have the money to go to Gome. Therefore, there is no restriction on gender, the minimum age is 12 years old and the maximum is 65 years old, which is also considered to be no age limit, and the quota is only 50 for a period of three months. I was going to give you a name, but since you're not interested in drawing, forget it. ”
Bai Yuewei began to pick her fingers again, and when she reacted, she pressed her hands on her knees and pursed her mouth without saying a word.
Bai He looked out of the car window boredly, and suddenly heard a voice: "I think so." It was so light, so light that she couldn't hear it unless she was calm.
She glanced at Bai Yuewei with a smile, saw that her ears were red, and suppressed the idea of joking.
"Go to the painting material store." She said to the driver.
When she arrived at the painting material store, Bai He didn't understand this, so she asked Bai Yuewei and the boss to go in and choose together, and she waited at the door to settle the bill.
Bai Yuewei is also a novice in this regard, the boss has seen a lot of people, and he can see at a glance that the two sisters have a good family background, so they quietly raised the price.
After selecting everything, Bai Yuewei saw Fu Jinghuai standing next to Bai He, she was stunned, and thought that she had lost her eyes, but it was indeed Fu Jinghuai, he was wearing casual clothes today.
"You should know?" Bai He looked at Fu Jinghuai, then at Bai Yuewei and said.
Fu Jinghuai nodded, and Bai Yuewei smiled slightly: "Master Fu." ”
"I heard your sister say, you want to learn to draw?"
"Hmm."
"It's good. Girls learn to draw and help them develop their sentiments. Regarding Bai Yuewei's matter, Fu Jinghuai listened to Bai Ziyi explain that his hand was injured. But when I saw him today, I couldn't see anything wrong with Bai Yuewei, but her eyes were not as bright as in the past, and her temperament was much calmer.
"Two young ladies, these scattered things add up to a total of forty-seven yuan and eight cents." After the boss finished the calculation, he said with a smile to Bai He.
Bai He's wallet was in her hand, and she raised her eyebrows when she heard the price, "Forty-seven yuan and eight cents?" Boss, did you miscalculate? ”
The boss was empty-hearted, but he was still very loyal and honest on his face, "This young lady, look at what you are talking about." I've been in this business for more than ten years, and I can't say that there is no wrong account, but it is less. What's more, you don't have a lot of stuff, so it's hard to make a mistake. ”
"Really?" Bai He replied lightly, she didn't know what the unit price of these things was, she just felt that the total price in the end was inflated. She tilted her head to look at the boss for a moment, but the boss smiled and let her stare at her, a little too calmly. She swept her gaze down, and picked up a paintbrush casually: "How much is this?" ”
The boss looked at it and opened his mouth and said, "Three pieces!" ”
Bai Yuewei frowned: "What you told me about in it just now was five pieces." ”
"I must have said it wrong, it's three dollars."
Fu Jinghuai looked at the boss and smiled slightly embarrassed, obviously having a ghost in his heart. He took the brush from Bai He's hand, looked at the pen shaft and the pen head, shook his head and said, "The pen shaft is rough, the bristles are scratched, and it is not worth it." ”
Bai He heard this, and said to the boss with a smile: "Whether this paintbrush is three or five, I don't want it." I hate the fact that the real thing is not equal to the price, and I never spend the money that I have wronged. Put this away, Yuewei, and we'll go to another house. Saying that, Bai He turned around and was about to leave.
The boss saw that it was up to her to decide whether she wanted it or not, and shouted anxiously: "Don't don't, don't, several, we have something to say." ”
"There's nothing to say, doing business is based on integrity, but I don't think you have any integrity." Bai He raised his eyebrows coldly and said unceremoniously.
"It's me who is wrong, it's me who is confused. A few adults don't care about villains, don't be like me. I'll give you a second pick of the materials you need, and this time I'll make sure you're satisfied. Okay? ”
Bai He didn't speak, looked at Bai Yuewei, Bai Yuewei nodded, this painting material store is the largest and most complete, and she doesn't want to go to other stores to see it.
The boss happily said yes and went inside again, Bai Yuewei thought about it again and again, but still followed in.
Bai He picked up the shoddy paintbrush again, and asked Fu Jinghuai, who was standing beside him, "Why did Master Fu come here?" You don't seem to have answered me just now. ”
Fu Jinghuai smiled and said, "I'll buy something." "Who would have thought that such a coincidence would be able to meet Bai He. He recognized her back at a glance.
This whole street is selling student supplies, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., Fu Jinghuai came here, and Bai He looked at him.
"I bought pens and paper." Fu Jinghuai explained.
"Oh. Why don't you let the people below come, and you have to run it yourself? "Even if Bai Ziyi goes home to rest during the day, there are always more people under him, so he won't be able to find an errand. What's more, running errands for Fu Jinghuai, they should be the first to rush to do it.
Fu Jinghuai smiled faintly: "Occasionally, I want to come out for a walk." ”
Bai He didn't know Fu Jinghuai, unless he was at work, he generally wouldn't let the people under him do things for him. Bai Ziyi, as his deputy, is a careful person, and if there are scarce things, he will order someone to buy them and put them away, and take them out directly when Fu Jinghuai needs them. However, his hand injury has not fully recovered recently, and the person who helped Fu Jinghuai clean up his things has been replaced, not as careful as Bai Ziyi, and he was stunned that he didn't know how to buy it to make up for it when the manuscript paper was almost gone.
"I heard your brother talk about Yuewei, and I wanted to go and see her, but I felt that it was out of place."
"It's okay, you also saw that she was actually fine, and the most unacceptable time has passed. I just took her to see a psychiatrist, and there was no big problem. It's just ......" After a pause, Bai He smiled helplessly, "It's just that if you want her to return to her former innocence and cuteness, it's probably impossible." ”
Fu Jinghuai comforted: "It's okay if people are fine." ”
Bai He nodded.
Bai Yuewei re-selected the painting materials, the boss first looked at Bai He, and then re-calculated, and the final price was only a little less than just now, Bai He didn't say anything else, and paid directly. The boss felt embarrassed when he saw that she was happy, wiped the change, and sent another palette.
Walking out of the painting material shop, Bai He asked Fu Jinghuai if he was going to go back or if he had something else to do.
Fu Jinghuai looked at her, thought for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Bai still owes me a meal." "Read the book
"Fortunately, I haven't forgotten." Bai He smiled, "Then I'll invite Master Fu to dinner." It just so happened that Yuewei and I haven't had lunch until now. ”
Bai He wanted to go to a slightly better restaurant, but Fu Jinghuai found a small restaurant that looked clean at random, and the three of them sat down and ordered food and started chatting.
After chatting, Fu Jinghuai said: "In the past two days, I have heard some rumors related to Miss Bai, I don't know if it is true or not." ”
"Mostly true." Bai He said lightly with a smile.
Fu Jinghuai was about to drink tea, and when he heard the words, he looked at her fixedly and did not move.
Bai Yuewei asked in a low voice, "What rumors?" "She doesn't go out of the door, and nothing outside can be heard.
Bai He said: "It's nothing, it just means that I want to get married." ”
"Oh." Bai Yuewei answered and told Fu Jinghuai seriously: "This is not a rumor, it is true." ”
Fu Jinghuai's hand holding the teacup tightened, but he still forced himself to swallow the sip of tea, and only smiled slowly after a while: "It's true, I still think it's a joke." ”
"How can anyone take marriage as a child's play." Bai He didn't seem to see the stunned look in his eyes, and smiled gently and beautifully.
"It seems that Miss Bai is ready."
Bai He said that at least he was mentally prepared.
Being mentally prepared to marry Zhu Dongfeng seems to stimulate Fu Jinghuai more than being prepared to marry him, although Fu Jinghuai has no position on this matter.
When he heard about it earlier, he wanted to ask Bai Ziyi, but he stopped talking a few times, just because he had no position to ask this question, and he and Bai He are not even friends now, at best, Bai Ziyi's boss and Bai Ziyi's sister have this connection. He knows that everything will not come out of nowhere, and there will be a source of rumors, but if he does not get a positive answer, he will always have a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Now hope is completely gone.
Fu Jinghuai, who has always restrained himself, suddenly hated himself at this moment, why couldn't he be more brave and bold earlier, why couldn't he take the initiative after Bai He and Zhu Dongfeng broke up, instead of thinking that Bai He was sad and sad after the breakup, he shouldn't bother her too much? If he had been able to take advantage of the victory and chase after him at that time, wouldn't many things have been different?
My sister said that feelings are to be fought for by yourself.
And Fu Jinghuai never seems to have fought for it. At first, the relationship between Bai He and Zhu Dongfeng discouraged him, and then Bai He and Zhu Dongfeng broke up, and he stopped moving, and now they are back together and about to get married, and he is even getting farther and farther away from Bai He.
Why is the iron-blooded soldier who says that he will kill decisively on the battlefield so hesitant when facing the person he likes? He didn't even dare to show his heart to Bai He.
What is he afraid of? It was the rejection of the white lotus.
He was afraid that after Bai He rejected him, the two of them would not even be ordinary friends.
And now Fu Jinghuai has completely lost even the opportunity to be rejected.
What else can Fu Jinghuai say? He didn't seem to be able to say anything more than a "congratulations".
"Master Fu?" Seeing that Fu Jinghuai was suddenly silent, Bai He called him, he came back to his senses and smiled apologetically, Bai He also smiled and said, "Master Fu is also thirty this year, right?" Aren't parents at home in a hurry? ”
"Not everyone has the same good luck as the east wind." Fu Jinghuai said in a deep voice, "How can this kind of thing be solved in a hurry?" ”
Bai He laughed lightly twice, and said Master Fu, don't be presumptuous, with your conditions, you will definitely be able to find a good girl who is the right person, you like and like you.
Fu Jinghuai looked at her directly, and finally lowered his eyes and said, "Borrow your auspicious words." ”
The three of them were eating, the atmosphere was a little inexplicably embarrassing, Bai Yuewei looked at Fu Jinghuai for a while and Bai He for a while, trying to find some topics to talk about, but in the end she couldn't think of any topics, so she had to bury her head.
In the end, it was Bai He who took the initiative to speak: "Has Master Fu asked someone to deliver the sachet he took from me last time?"
Fu Jinghuai swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded and said, "It's delivered." My sister liked it very much, saying that the fragrance was light and not pungent, which was exactly what she liked. Thanks to Miss Bai. ”
"If you like it, you don't need to thank you."
After eating, Bai He, Bai Yuewei and Fu Jinghuai said goodbye, and after getting into the car, Bai Yuewei looked back and saw Fu Jinghuai standing in place looking at the direction of their car leaving, feeling very lonely.
"See what?" Bai He asked.
"Master Fu is still watching us." Bai Yuewei turned around and said.
Bai He looked ahead and didn't speak, and his side face was extremely cold.
Bai Yuewei whispered, "I really think Master Fu is a very good person. And he has liked you for a long time, but because of you and Zhu Dongfeng, he is just a crush. Bai Yuewei thinks that if Bai He and Fu Jinghuai are together, Fu Jinghuai will definitely take out his heart and give it to her, after all, he is now looking at Bai He's eyes so affectionate that he is almost dripping, it is difficult for such a man not to imagine how he will love his sweetheart.
"There are a lot of people who like me, and there are a lot of people who have a crush on me. Can I still respond one by one? Bai He told her to stop talking, love is not something you just like. What's more, it's just Fu Jinghuai's unilateral liking, even if they like each other, sometimes they may not be able to be together.
Bai Yuewei silently closed her mouth and said no more.
Back at home, Bai Yuewei put the purchased painting materials into the room, and the fourth aunt frowned when she saw the easel, "Why do you want to paint again?" Didn't I tell you that you are better at learning the piano than drawing? ”
"You like to play the piano so much, you can learn it yourself." Bai He glanced at her, and his tone was indifferent.
The fourth aunt was too embarrassed to say: "I'm old, what else do I learn." Yuewei is different, she is still young, learning the piano to improve her temperament will help her in the future. ”
Bai He ignored her and asked Zhili to make her a cup of coffee.
"I don't like the piano." Bai Yuewei touched the easel and retorted softly.
"That'...... Otherwise, learn the violin, the cello. Mom has a friend who teaches violin, and if you want to learn, Mom will take you to meet her tomorrow. ”
Seeing the fourth aunt's smiling face too attentively, Bai Yuewei bit her lower lip, shook her head and said, "I only like to paint." ”
"You!" The fourth aunt was too angry and didn't dare to get angry, so she said patiently: "Painting is dirty and tired, what's so good about you liking it!" Listen to Damn, good, we don't draw, we'll learn the violin, and we'll see the teacher tomorrow. Come, give me the easel, it's not safe to put such a big one in your house, in case it falls and hits you again. I'll help you put it in the warehouse. ”
Bai Yuewei clutched the easel tightly and begged, "Mom......"
The fourth aunt frowned too much and broke her fingers.
'Bang', the fourth aunt was so frightened that she let go of her hand, looked at Bai He, Bai He picked up the hand that was slapped on the table, and asked Bai Yuewei to take the easel back to the room with a faint expression, and then said to the fourth aunt: "If you want her to hate you more and more, just limit her preferences." Anyway, in your eyes, apart from yourself, is money, what is your daughter to you? ”
"I'm ......," the fourth aunt opened her mouth, "I'm doing this for her good." ”
"For her good, let her do what she wants. Instead of imposing your ideas on her. Bai He often envies people who have their mother by her side to ask for warmth, but like Jiang Wanyi, she thinks it's better to have nothing.
The fourth aunt looked at her too cautiously and said, "Then what did the doctor say today?" Is Yuewei feeling better? ”
"She's having a mental problem, not a cold. You can recover immediately if you take medicine and injections. "Bai He said that if you don't more useless hearts, she may be able to get better faster.
The fourth aunt was too stunned, and she wanted to argue a few words for herself, but she cringed as soon as she touched Bai He's cold gaze.
Zhizhi came over with coffee, and Bai He asked her to send it to her room.
When the fourth aunt saw her getting up to leave, she hurriedly said, "Hey, that, someone is coming to you today." ”
