Su Tao didn't remember how long she had walked, she always felt that she had passed through one street after another, but there was no end. He Yang walked behind her and helped her hold the portrait of her sister. There was the afterglow of the sunset, just like the twilight when they first beat each other's hearts. There are many such dense alleys in the pine forest area, high and low, you can ride a bicycle and swim all over the pine forest area like the wind, without hindrance; You can also walk through these ancient streets and alleys step by step with your beloved as you do now. It wasn't until the end that you saw the cottage that belonged to you in an inconspicuous alley - that was He Yang's home.

This was the first time Su Tao saw He Yang's home, hidden in the deep corner of an alley. It's an unobtrusive bungalow, with an old tin door that creaks when it opens. He Yang opened the door, and Su Tao walked in. The interior is quite spacious, but there are no windows. Although the decoration is very artistic, it looks incongruous, and even faintly weird. The interior decoration is relatively rough, and it always feels like a ...... Garage. That's right, Su Tao finally found out where that weird spot was, this was obviously a garage converted house, and there were no windows except for a small window in the corner that was obviously rough and decorated! The interior is also relatively empty, there is no room at all, the room is divided by a few relatively tall bookcases and a very abstract screen, the floor is not paved, just an ordinary concrete floor, and the walls are painted very casually...... All indications are that it was once a garage! She had never been in such a place, in the little world in which she had lived or seen, where even the pain was a beautifully decorated and splendid pain, and the sorrow was pure sorrow that did not have to think about livelihood. She only needs to think about her own emotions, and as for everything else, someone will naturally arrange it for her, and then let her find fault. She discovered for the first time, and it was also the first time that she thought that there were many kinds of helplessness in the world, sometimes it was sudden, and sometimes it was born with it, and it has always been with her.

"Oh my God, so your house is a converted garage?" Su Tao asked in shock.

"Yes, that's right. It's all garage remodeled, and my studio is in the little attic upstairs......" He Yang said calmly.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect you to have such a hard time......" Su Tao said with emotion.

"It's not that hard. It's just not comparable to you people. Actually, in places you can't see. That's how most of us ordinary people live. Our willfulness is probably just an extra egg in the pancake. Unlike you, your willfulness is to throw out a million ...... in one night," He Yang said lightly.

"He Yang, don't be like this. Are you not too happy because I spent a lot of money on this painting. I think I'm just like Shao Huan and his gang of gentlemen, spending money like running water, and holding the family's money proudly...... But that painting is a portrait of my sister, so what's wrong with me wanting to stay? ”

"Su Tao, I didn't mean that...... I just think that the difference between the living environment of the two of us is too big, and the view of money is completely different......" He Yang sighed and said helplessly.

"What do you mean by that? I think spiritual resonance is much more important than material equivalence. Why do you always struggle with these trivial things? Su Tao asked puzzled.

"It turns out that a million is just some inconsequential trivial ...... in your eyes," He Yang smiled self-deprecatingly.

"No......" Su Tao began to stammer, "What about a million?" It depends on what you're using it for, doesn't it? What is the value of not being used in the bank? Our family is not short of this money, and it is just a number that exists there. Since I can and need to take it out, then why not? Why do I have to pretend I can't take it out? Do you think that the use of this million is meaningless? ”

"That's not what I meant," He Yang sighed helplessly, with a little unwillingness and stubbornness in his eyes, "I think it's meaningful, and it's necessary." But all this was my mistake, and I should have borne it! I'm going to pay the price. However, I don't have the financial means! I can't do anything about it......"

"It's not like that!" Su Tao vigorously denied, "Don't think like that! ”

"Isn't it? Look at you, Su Tao. You are a natural nobleman! Same as Su Ying. I'm talking about aristocracy, not because of money. You are different from Shao Huan and Zhang Huimin's group, they are just rich, but they are full of the rudeness and self-righteousness of the nouveau riche. But you are different, Su Tao, your nobility not only comes from the rich material resources you have, you have a good upbringing, you know how to cherish, you have all the good things...... Wealth, beauty, love and sincerity...... Your world is full of good things, and I, as you can see, I still live in a garage and I have nothing but art...... Sometimes I don't really know what I can give you......"

"That's not the case," Su Tao took He Yang's cold hand, "You gave me love and care, without these, what is the use of more money?" ”

"Look at me, it's likely that I'll still be a destitute painter living in a garage...... Look at you again, you are destined to have a happy and stable life...... We have never been all the way......" He Yang's expression was full of gloom.

"Don't be presumptuous, He Yang." Su Tao looked at her eyes gently, she had seen He Yang's home with her own eyes, she was completely able to understand He Yang's gap, so she tried her best to comfort him, "I don't mind where you live, I only care about you as a person, not anything else." ”

"Peach, I'm sorry. I lost my temper today. He Yang gently hugged her.

"It's okay, aren't we lovers in the first place? We were supposed to support each other. Su Tao looked at He Yang's handsome and thin face, and laughed softly, "Hey, I finally came to your house once, won't you take me to see it?" By the way, do you have anything to eat at home, I'm dying of hunger. ”

"Okay, I'll find you something to eat now, little glutton," He Yang gently touched her head and said, "Follow me." ”

He Yang took out a box of quick-frozen pizza from the refrigerator, put it in the microwave to heat it up, and took it out to Su Tao, "Little Peach, you can make do with it now." I'll treat you to a big meal next time. ”

"It's been a long time since I've eaten this kind of cheese-filled food, hahaha," Su Tao said as she took the pizza, "It's just the right time to satisfy yourself." ”

"Come, I'll show you my studio." He Yang took Su Tao to the attic. The attic of He Yang's house is very low, and after entering, you have to bow your waist slightly, no wonder it looks like a one-story bungalow from the outside. There is a skylight in the studio above, and the attic has a wooden floor, and there are several easels next to it, as well as unfinished works. There was a small table next to it, on which was spread a piece of rice paper that almost occupied the entire table, and only half of it was written, Su Tao took a closer look, it turned out to be copying Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface", she looked up in surprise and said, "Wow, it turns out that you can also calligraphy, it's amazing." ”

He Yang was embarrassed by her, touched his nose a little shyly, and said, "It's just a casual writing when it's okay, in fact, I rarely write calligraphy, and I usually just practice hard pen calligraphy." When Su Tao heard this, he was even more anxious to see his pen words. He Yang couldn't resist her, just found out the book he had practiced before, Su Tao sighed while flipping through it that he was so attentive, and he dabbled in various types of fonts, He Yang said embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but it's just copying." I don't really have much creativity in calligraphy, but I just like to copy when I have nothing to do. So basically, all the fonts I've seen now can be copied exactly the same very quickly. ”

"That's amazing! Why are you still so humble? Su Tao raised her eyebrows and said.

"No matter how good copying others are, it's just a small skill of carving insects." He Yang shook his head again.

"Eh, I think your self-perception is a bit skewed...... It's so humble. Su Tao shook his head deliberately, "You always feel that you can't write well, and your paintings are average, so you definitely can't sell them." As a result, because of your mentality, I lost a million. ”

"What then?" He Yang smiled to see what tricks she was going to make.

"So you're going to pay me for yourself!" Su Tao tilted her head and looked at him.

"Okay~" He Yang smiled helplessly and dotingly, "You paint a million, this painting and the author of the painting are bought together, buy one get one free, okay?" ”

"Hmm~" Su Tao nodded with satisfaction.

He Yang looked at Su Tao's slightly innocent smile, and always felt a little uneasy. Sometimes naivety is actually not a compliment, because many times, it can be like a natural disaster, followed by a primitive, dramatic, and cold force, which can easily destroy a person, such as Su Ying. So, what does such naivety mean to Su Tao now? He didn't know.

"Little Peach, how is your sister's case?" He Yang asked cautiously.

"It seems that the police have not yet achieved results." Su Tao said helplessly.

"And what are you going to do?"

Su Tao said helplessly, "I'm waiting, I'm still waiting for the truth to appear." ”

"Do you have any doubts in mind?" He Yang asked.

"No, I don't want to judge whether a person is guilty or not based on subjective impressions. After all, if you look closely, you can find that everyone has a motive and everyone can be a murderer. But not everyone was involved in the crime, and not everyone was so innocent. Because the truth is seldom pure, and it is by no means simple. Su Tao's gaze slowly dimmed.

At night, Su Tao dragged her tired body home, opened the door but found that the lights in the house were on, she was startled, thinking that there was a burglar in the house, and she was just about to call the police. saw a tall man standing up on the sofa - Su Jiatang. He slowly approached Su Tao, "My dear niece, long time no see." ”
