Yan Jiang looked around, bent down slightly mysteriously, approached the man and said, "I heard the boss talk to himself when he hung this painting, saying that this painting was painted by an illegitimate child. It is said that this illegitimate child was held by us some time ago, and the painter is quite famous. ”

"Kaichi?"

"Yes, yes, that's him. In this way, this painting should have been a good friend of his boss and given to the boss......"

This person didn't listen to what Yan Jiang was saying anymore, but just stared at the person on the painting with a pair of eyes, and his eyes were full of madness, as if he had seen the enemy who killed his father. But gradually, there is a hint of gentleness from it, like seeing a friend I haven't seen for a long time, but I am full of nostalgia in my displeasure.

He looked at the person in the painting for a long time before saying, "Excuse me, I want to buy this painting." ”

"Sorry, this painting is not for sale."

"Is your boss here?"

"The boss is here, if you want to see the boss, please wait a moment, I'll help you please."

"There is labor."

Yan Jiang stepped on his high heels and walked inside. The man was still standing in front of the painting, but his eyes were full of emotion, and he couldn't accommodate any other paintings. Not long after, Xu Jiang walked out of his head like a dog in a suit, staring at the person standing in front of the painting, smiling in his heart, holding the boss's style on his face, straightening his suit, and striding over.

"You're looking for me?"

The man turned around, looked at Xu Jiang who was smiling politely, smiled, and held Xu Jiang's outstretched right hand: "My surname is Chen, Chen Wei." I'll pay three times the price for your painting. ”

Xu Jiang's eyes swept over the portrait, and he smiled: "Ugly name Xu Jiang." I'm sorry, but the owner of the painting just deposited the painting with me, and I don't have the right to sell it. ”

"So can Mr. Xu elaborate on the identity of the person in this painting? I'm really curious. ”

Xu Jiang said: "The identity of the person in the painting is the painter's father, who opened an exhibition with me some time ago, so what? Oh! Hai One. ”

Chen Wei narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure it's him?" Oh...... I mean, can you introduce me to this Mr. Haiyi? Seeing Xu Jiang's suspicious eyes, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, don't misunderstand, I don't have any other malice, I just want to get to know this Mr. Haiyi." I was fascinated by his paintings, and it would be a great honor to meet him. ”

Xu Jiang's face was full of sadness, and Chen Wei was not in a hurry, just waiting.

"I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Chen, he is in S City now, but he also made it clear to me that he doesn't want to see anyone at the moment. I'm ...... It's hard to explain! ”

Chen Wei said: "I just want to see him, and the rest, I will keep it a secret, I swear." ”

Xu Jiang hesitated for a while, and then nodded reluctantly: "I can only introduce you to each other, the specific situation, whether to meet or decide by himself, I can't interfere with this." ”

"Thank you so much, this is my phone number, you can give him my number directly."

Xu Jiang pinched the black business card, watched him walk out of the gallery, and took a taxi to leave. He took out his mobile phone and called Xiang Hai to explain the situation just now.

"What's his name on his business card?"

"Chen Wei, Erdong Chen, Azure Wei."

Xu Jiang listened to the sound of heavy breathing on the phone, and he seemed to be very angry. After a long time, Xiang Hai calmed down: "I know, help me refuse." ”

Xiang Hai hung up the phone and looked at the sketchpad with dull eyes. He rolled the words over and over the tip of his tongue, rummaging through his memory for the man he had only met once, his expression still full of disbelief.

Lin Yilan changed the painting back and forth for a long time, but he didn't hear Xiang Hai's self-proclaimed god's guidance. She looked over suspiciously, and the man was staring at her sketchpad in a daze.

Somehow, she teased her, quietly walked behind him, and shouted softly: "Haiyi? ”

"Huh?"

Xiang Hai was awakened from his daze, and responded vaguely, before he stiffly looked at Lin Yilan, whose expression suddenly became meaningful. He quickly remembered what he had said, and suddenly became a little embarrassed. Forced to smile.

"What did you say?"

"What is your relationship with Haiyi?"

"Peer-to-peer competition."

"Nothing else?"

"It can't be a romantic relationship."

Lin Yilan stared at him with a paintbrush for a while, and then returned to his own drawing board, the round canvas was already covered with verdant bamboo, except for the slightly thin layer, the painting was quite presentable.

She looked at the canvas facing the sea again, the bamboo forest was full of jasper, the bamboo leaves fluttering in the breeze, and the rustling sound was still in her ears.

Xiang Hai saw her looking at her canvas, and couldn't help but feel proud: "Don't call the master yet!" ”

"Master."

Lin Yilan called honestly, and this time it was Xiang Hai's turn to be embarrassed to agree.

Lin Yilan slept until midnight and woke up again.

She sat blankly for a long time before wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. The feeling of being wet made him and her very uncomfortable, and he took a shower in the bathroom.

Rushing and rushing, she felt someone behind her. Without looking back, through the mirror, she saw the man covered in black fog that she had not seen for a long time.

She looked at the man in the mirror, and the man reached out and pushed her down. She felt the world spinning, she felt nauseous, and threw up as she lay in the bathroom.

It seems that I vomited deliberately for a long time, and it seems that I just had a convulsion all over my body, and I kept repeating the action of vomiting.

When she finally raised her head, wiped her mouth, and made eye contact with the dark person in front of her. She thought that this person would make a move on her, but what she didn't expect was that this person looked at her for a long time, didn't do anything, and slowly disappeared.

After making sure that the shadow was gone, she quickly turned on the faucet and rinsed the bathroom and herself. When everything was cleaned up, there was a boundless sense of hunger and anxiety. Xiang Hai's complaining voice echoed in his ears: "My figure is good, you are not as attractive as me......"

Lin Yilan came to the living room and opened the door of the refrigerator, found a few apples from inside, and simply sat on the ground and began to nibble on the soft light of the refrigerator.

She nibbled on one after another, and waited until her stomach felt full, then she slowly stopped and sat on the ground panting.

The light in the living room suddenly turned on, she subconsciously covered her eyes, footsteps came from behind her, she turned back in panic and met Xiang Hai's concerned eyes. Somehow, she suddenly wanted to cry, and she did, hiding the apple core in her hand behind her and crying.

Xiang Hai rushed towards her and held the person in his arms. He felt her trembling body and wet hair, and he picked the person up, closed the refrigerator door, and carried the person back to the bed in her room.

Lin Yilan cried in a daze, she couldn't remember how many times she had been found to be ugly. She simply tugged at the man's shirt to prevent him from getting up, from seeing the tears on her face and the sticky apple juice on her hands. She herself is also very strange, she has been here for so many years, how can she see this person, and the grievances are like breaking the embankment, and they all explode.

She didn't figure out how she was like an unreasonable child, holding on to Xiang Hai's clothes and not relaxing, Xiang Hai could only lean into the air, supporting the bed with her hands, and she was dragging her. His hand patted lightly behind his back: "It's okay, I'm here, I'm here." ”

After a long time, Xiang Hai saw that the person in his arms gradually calmed down, and the hand holding his shirt was loosened. He looked at Lin Yilan's sleeping face who didn't know whether she was unconscious or asleep, and reluctantly turned around and went to the bathroom, and came over to wipe her hands and face with a wet towel.

He didn't wake up after wiping people, but he didn't feel sleepy, found a sofa in her room to lean on, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

He didn't feel that time was passing quickly, but the sound of birdsong gradually sounded in his ears, and the light outside the curtain became stronger and stronger, and the sound became more and more noisy.

He listened, his eyes grew heavier, and he fell asleep.

In the dream, he returned to that small village. It was a silhouette sitting on a high mound in the sunset, and he ran towards it with excitement in his heart. It's just that no matter how hard he tries, he is always a distance from that silhouette that is difficult to close.

He didn't run, and seemed to be quietly watching the silhouette through the long river of time. After a long time, he felt a light rise behind him, and he said to the figure, "I have found it." ”

The back didn't move, he just sat there motionless, but Xiang Hai seemed to get the answer, and the light behind him became stronger and stronger, melting the back figure.

Xiang Hai opened his eyes and saw Lin Yilan standing in front of him. moved, the clothes covered by his body fell to the ground, Lin Yilan found that he woke up and hurriedly picked it up, and the hands of the two touched together. Xiang Hai picked up the dress.

Lin Yilan watched him slap the non-existent dust on his clothes, hesitated, and said, "Did you see 'it'?" ”

"Who?"

"Another me."

Xiang Hai smiled gently at her: "I only saw one of you, sitting in front of the refrigerator and stealing food, could it be that you still know Sun Wukong's doppelganger technique?" ”

Lin Yilan put her heart down and laughed too.

"Not necessarily, if you do something to hide from me, you must hide it. If you want me to know, I won't let you go! ”

Xiang Hai smiled even more exaggeratedly.

The second day was Children's Day, and unsurprisingly, Xu came again.

After Xiang Hai suffered a violent meal from classmate Xu, he could only obediently follow the two of them and pay the money. At present, Xu is shouting to take the Ferris wheel again, and Xianghai obediently goes to line up, and two people, one big and one small, are nibbling on the side to express their belief in him.

Half an hour later, Xiang Hai came back with two tickets, Xu and Lin Yilan cheered with one big and one small, and ran to the Ferris wheel together. Xiang Hai watched the two of them sit on the Ferris wheel, the Ferris wheel slowly turned, he waved his hand upward, bought a green balloon in his hand, and went to a hidden place.

There were already people waiting there in the alley. The man looked at the balloon in his hand and said, "I found the file you asked me to check last time." Chen Wei, male, 49 years old. XX graduated from high school, and there was indeed a classmate named He Wu in the same class as him, but this person was dropped out of school due to a scandal when he was in his second year of high school. The Chen family itself has some underworld forces, and he has been a famous black young master since junior high school. Later, he was sent abroad by his family, and when he returned, his temperament changed greatly. It didn't take long for him to marry his college classmate, Bai's daughter. The two have a son, whose son is named Chen Om. Chen Wei is the son-in-law of the Bai family business, a listed company in H City, and is the deputy director of the Bai family. ”

Xiang Hai's teeth bit his tongue fiercely, feeling the pain go straight to the cerebral cortex, he closed his eyes and asked, "Did Chen Om grow up at his grandmother's house when he was a child?" ”

The man was a little strange: "How do you know?
