"May I ask what the subject is?" This question was within an inch, especially when the tutor and the principal attached so much importance to it, but the tutor looked back at Gu Xi with a solemn expression and said, "Mr. Gu will take you to understand later, you must remember to work hard, not to be casual as usual, and to learn more from Mr. Gu." ”

Do I learn from him? Do you want to learn from his arrogance? Don't look at him sitting there so quietly with his eyes down, the arrogance and domineering aura in his bones are not at all. So much so that even if a mentor in his sixties was in the same room with him, he did not dare to be arrogant.

Of course, there must be another reason behind this. Just from the attitude of the principal and tutor towards him when I entered the door, I can roughly guess that Gu Xi's trip is not only with this so-called "research project", but also with a favorable investment for the university.

As he was analyzing, he heard the tutor say respectfully to Gu Xi: "Mr. Gu, I'll go to the cultural center first and arrange for my students to clean up the things on the top floor, and you and my students can communicate here first." ”

Seeing Gu Xi's head, the tutor glanced at me and hurriedly walked out of the door.

As soon as the tutor left, I noticed that Gu Xi had changed.

First of all, he no longer sits up straight, leans back on the back of the sofa chair, and his feet are stretched out, and the whole person becomes lazy and idle. The eyes behind the glasses changed from their softness to being unusually sharp, and their eyes were fixed on my face.

A strange thought arose in my heart, if I take the several faces of the person in front of me as an analogy: Gu Xi, who I met for the first time in the lost garden last night, was like a ghost that came and went without a trace, which made me shiver; Later, under the dim lonely lamp, he was like a dozing lion, on the edge of sleep, full of mystery; He drove the car to relieve me, like a boy with a bit of a temper, but his heart was not bad; In front of the principal and the mentor, he was like a humble gentleman, gentle and gentle; At this time, under the bright white day, Gu Xi was a lion who had no concealment and awakened.

With so many faces, I'm afraid it's hard to find a second person. It doesn't seem to concern me, though.

Although I am not an active person, the atmosphere is anxiously awkward, so I still opened my mouth first, but it is not related to the subject I just mentioned: "Mr. Gu, you left something last night, if you don't delay later, please allow me to go back and return it to you." ”

He frowned in silence and said, "Just call me by my name." ”

I looked at him calmly, wanting to wait for him to speak. Yet, as if he hadn't heard me at all, he lit a cigarette that had been placed on the table when I had just entered, sandwiched it between my index and middle fingers, and tapped the knuckles of his other hand rhythmically on the table. When the ash grew, he skilfully flicked the ashtray, and he didn't take a puff until the cigarette was burned.

I wondered, is it because the principal issued that cigarette, so I didn't smoke a puff? If he had been a very defensive man, he should have touched the cigarette or not, but he lit it. What a contradictory and difficult person!

Suddenly, why did I analyze such a subtle movement of his? Suddenly, I found that my eyes were fixed on his rhythmic tapping fingers, and my heart rate became flat.

Hypnosis? These two words are immediately reflected in the brain, but then they are denied, if they are really hypnotized, where will they still have the consciousness to analyze this? But when I meet him, my mind gets out of control.

Before the tutor called, it was obvious that my "communication" with Gu Xi was ineffective. After staring at me for a while, he slowly spoke, and actually got to the point: "Due to the age and imperfection, it has been slightly damaged, and I need you to restore it." ”

"Is that a painting?"

He shook his head and smiled, "You can think of it as an incomplete puzzle." ”

I frowned: "Mr. Gu is sorry, my major may only be in painting......" Before I could finish my refusal, he cut it off: "Call me by my name directly!" Don't make me say it a third time. Besides," he paused for a moment, "I've never been unprepared. ”

When I heard what he said, I suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Sure enough, a faint and shallow whisper came from his mouth: "Chang Yuan, a graduate student of the Fine Arts Department of Q University." His parents divorced and lived alone in Pingcheng. Every Monday, Wednesday or Friday, I would go to work at a coffee bar called 'Time', but that salary was far from enough to cover your tuition and rent. It is said that this coffee bar is very interesting, and the people who go to drink coffee are either ordinary or mediocre, but they may have a background, a story, or a financial power. Need more information? ”

I was silent for a moment, and then I compromised: "What do you need to recover?" ”

"You'll find out when you see it later. As for the money," he put out his cigarette in the ashtray, as if the matter had been settled, "if you want to gamble, you will lose!" Since you win, take it, don't be angry and mention it to me again and again. Or, if you want to have a safe name, take it as an extra bonus for doing things with you this time. ”

I heard that I was at a glance, 40,000 yuan is regarded as a bonus? I immediately became jealous, I never believed in pie in the sky, and it must not be an easy job to be able to pay such a high price.
