"Dad, Auntie, I'm invited!"

Xiao Xiaoran walked quickly and reported to her father with a smile.

Jin Hengyuan put down the book, raised his head, and smiled at the child, the golden sunset embellished his smile with incomparably soft and handsome.

He reached out and rubbed his daughter's hair: "Good, let's go play!" Wait a minute, let's go to dinner...... Compensation"

Pu Xiang felt that his calm heart lake was ah, because of his smile and rubbing, it was as if the surface of the lake that had been blown by the breeze involuntarily rippled layer upon layer.

Yes, whether it was three years ago or three years later, this person can always easily make her heart flutter......

"Hmm!"

Xiao Xiaoran glanced at Pu Xiang and walked away happily.

Jin Hengyuan then fell on the girl who was dressed strangely, and a pair of big black eyes flashed under the big hat and the mask, like black grapes.

He stood up and was about to speak, when a ten-dollar bill was handed over: "This money, pay you back." ”

She remembered him.

Yesterday he helped her pay for breakfast.

Normally, he's not that nosy.

Yesterday, when I watched her check her pockets, she was cramped, and her talking eyes showed a look of embarrassment.

Somehow, he was kind enough to hand over ten dollars.

As for why be so kind?

He went home and thought about it, and came to a conclusion: probably because those eyes looked a bit like Su Jin.

When Xiao Su looked at him pitifully, no matter how big his anger was, it would melt away......

When Xiao Su left the last nostalgic gaze in the fire, his heart was full of pain......

Many nights, he would wake up.

For in the dream there will be an invisible voice, where there will be a mournful cry:

"Hengyuan, I hurt, I hurt ......"

But he just couldn't see her.

When he woke up, he turned on the bedside lamp and would sit there and imagine what such a fire would burn her.

Turned to ashes?

Blown up?

Why is it that there is only a voice and no human form in the dream?

Every time he thought about it, she was blown up, she was turned to ashes, she became food for sea creatures like that, and disappeared, and he had to go and get wine to eat. Only when he has eaten almost and is a little drunk can he fall asleep. Fall asleep with Su Jin's pillow and convince yourself that she must still be alive.

Although, he knows, that is a kind of self-deception.

"I said, little money, you don't need to take it to heart."

Jin Hengyuan did not answer.

"My brother still has to settle accounts...... I and you, who have never been alive, got help from my husband yesterday, so that I would not be hungry, and today I have a fate, and I met again, this money, I have to pay you back no matter what......"

She stepped forward, took his hand, and slapped the money into his hand.

This move is very abrupt.

After Pu Xiang also completed this series of actions, he had such a consciousness, and hurriedly retreated, with an unnatural look in his eyes.

Jin Hengyuan's brows furrowed slightly.

It was the first time in two years that a woman had been so close to him.

When her gloved hand grabbed his warm palm, a few traces of coolness invaded between her fingers, and on her face, she smelled a faint smell of medicine.

It seems that this girl is not in particularly good health.

"By the way, this gentleman, do you have anything to do with me?"

Park Xiang asked softly there, drawing his attention back.

"Oh, there's something I want to ask you."

Jin Hengyuan took the sketch she had just drawn for Xiao Xiaoran from the table:

"You learned to draw?"

"Hmmm! The painting is not good, and I laughed. ”

Park Xiang saw that he was looking very seriously.

She wasn't afraid of what he would see. Because of the strength of her arms and the flexibility of her hands, her current painting style is not the same as before.

"It's a good drawing. Sold for 20 sheets, a loss. Such a sketch, two hundred yuan a piece, in my opinion, is still a bargain. With all due respect, do you want to ask, are you a university student, or are you already working......"

Jin Hengyuan rarely praises people.

However, this girl really drew well.

The only fly in the ointment is that there seems to be something wrong with her arm, and there are slight trembling marks when drawing various lines.

However, she also seems to know her own shortcomings, and the places that are crooked because of trembling are cleverly presented in another beautiful way.

Therefore, ordinary people can't see the small flaws in this work, but he is an expert, and he can see it.

"Me...... I'm not in good health, I'm not working, I'm recuperating all the time. I used to learn, but after I got sick, I abandoned it, and I picked up the brush again in the past six months, and I had nothing to do, so I just painted casually to pass the time......"

Park Xiang replied.

These words, not a single one of them, are all true.

"Well, I can see it, two times you met, you wrapped yourself like an Arab woman both times, and your hands were so cold......"

Jin Hengyuan nodded.

Pu Xiang didn't know what to answer, and he was about to get cold.

"Are you short of money?"

Jin Hengyuan found a topic.

This man is not an easy man.

When he doesn't like to communicate with people, he can block you with one sentence.

He is willing to be close to people, and he can find endless topics to talk about.

She felt that he was deliberately leading her to speak now. And the eyes are still so vicious.

Pu Xiang sighed secretly in his heart, but his mouth was connected, and he said straight:

"How do you tell?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have offered this painting so cheaply?"

"Small profits, quick turnover!"

A smile flashed in Pu Xiang's eyes:

"Well, I'll admit, I'm short of money. I'm going to have surgery in a while...... I begged them to let me out and play, and when I had had enough, I would go back to surgery. Now half of the days have passed, and I still have half of my days to play in Shanghai. But I didn't want to ask my elders for money, so I thought about making some living expenses by painting...... I want to fend for myself...... This kind of money is well spent. ”

Jin Hengyuan listened, and his dark eyes showed approval: This girl has a very good independent spirit.

Well, I don't know what kind of illness I had, but I felt like the operation was dangerous......

"What else do you do besides drawing?"

He asked again.

Pu Xiang felt that for a person who had just met for the first time, he seemed to be a little too concerned, but he still answered:

"Other than that, not much...... I used to cook at home, clean the room or something, and I loved to read when I had nothing to do. When I got sick, I was lying down most of the time...... It's only been half a year since it got better. It was only in the past six months that I was allowed to go out for a walk. Previously, I had been living in the sterile room......"

Well, it seemed like a bit too much, and she suddenly shut up.

"Clean room? What disease do you have? ”

He finally asked.

"It's either illness or the fire has burned me. The face is also burned......"

Pu Xiang gently stroked his face with his hand, and his voice lowered.

Jin Hengyuan understood, no wonder she wanted to cover her face with such a mask, it turned out to be disfigured.

"If it's okay, I'll go first. I'm a few stops by bus...... It's not too early...... I've got to go home......"

Pu Xiang changed the painting kit to one shoulder and wanted to leave: If you say too much, you will lose!

"Well, I'm just going to take the kids to dinner, or I'll give you a ride......"

When he spit out this sentence, Jin Hengyuan secretly wondered, what was wrong with him, he would be so kind to a strange woman?

I used to help pay money, but I just helped others, so today, I want to give people a ride, what does it mean?

Pu Xiang also paused for a moment, hurriedly waved his hand, and his tone was about to stammer:

"No...... No. That...... How embarrassing are you......"

"Actually, I have a reluctant request here......"

Jin Hengyuan struggled to find a reason for his actions:

"My daughter loves to draw. If I could, I would like to be able to teach her to draw every Saturday and Sunday before you go back to the hospital, and as for the payment, I can pay double the market price. ”

Pu Xiang was fluted again, he never thought that when he came here to paint today, such a good thing would fall.

"What? Don't want to? ”

She didn't squeak, her facial expression couldn't be seen, her eyes brightened up, and she seemed to be willing, but she didn't answer, such an abnormality made Jin Hengyuan ask unconsciously instead.

"Can I think about it?"

Pu Xiang wanted to agree, but he hesitated when it came to the end.

She was afraid that as soon as the distance was shortened, some small details would be inadvertently revealed.

For example, just now she grabbed his hand directly.

This move is too casual.

Alas!

It's tangled.

"Absolutely. You write down my number. If you think about it, you can call me directly......"

He reported his private number. This number is also known to those few people in the family.

She took out her phone and silently wrote it down.

In fact, there is no need to record it into her mobile phone, that number has always been remembered in her heart and engraved in her soul......

"Look, it's rude, I don't even know what your name is?"

After the number was written down, she asked softly.

"Jin Hengyuan. Ge Jin Jin. ”

"Hello Mr. Jin, my name is Pu Xiang. Mu Bupu, Guo Xiang's ...... I'm sure I'll call you. Goodbye, I won't bother you anymore......"

She waved away and walked as fast as she could.

Jin Hengyuan stood there and unconsciously touched his chin.

This little girl seems to be afraid of him, and her eyes always avoid him, although when he is working, he is quite fond of keeping a straight face.

Could it be that he just put on a face to show others?

Not at all!
