Chapter 34: Friends
"Sit down, there's only tap water here, and I can pour you a glass if you want."
When he came to the house, Bai Ye pointed to the only sofa left in the house, and said to Hu Yan impatiently but still maintaining due politeness.
"Well, of course, it just so happens that I'm thirsty too, even if I'm not thirsty, as long as you pour it, it doesn't matter what kind of water you pour." Hu Yan narrowed his eyes with a smile, like a pair of crooked crescents, and said to the white night.
"Good! You wait. ”
Bai Ye nodded expressionlessly, went to fetch her a cup of tap water, and then walked back and put it on the coffee table in front of her.
And Hu Yan really didn't dislike it, and even said that he was thirsty before, and it was not perfunctory, so he directly raised his glass and drank it all.
"It's delicious." Directly stretched out the back of his hand and wiped it on the corner of his mouth, Hu Yan's eyes fell on Bai Ye's expressionless face, and said as if praising it.
Bai Ye ignored her words, looked at her with flat eyes, and asked coldly, "Is there something wrong with you?" If there's something to say, don't say it, I don't have time. ”
This is obviously direct, and it can't be more direct, he didn't give Hu Yan any steps at all, and forced her to the edge of the cliff, and almost told her that she was going to take two steps next.
However, Hu Yan is naturally not an ordinary person, and she has already experienced Bai Ye's cold attitude, so she has already been mentally prepared.
For Bai Ye's words, she ignored them as if she hadn't heard them, the smile on her face did not decrease in any way, and her eyes were still smiling at Bai Ye opposite.
"Hee-hee! Don't worry, I was joking just now, how could I betray my life-saving benefactor? Believe in my sister's credit, Xiaobai. ”
Her voice was very kind and soft, and she could even hear a hint of coquettishness, which made Bai Ye sigh secretly, facing such a woman, her plan obviously had no chance of going well.
"Alas! Never mind. Bai Ye sighed helplessly, no longer had a serious face cold, leaned back slightly, leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa, tilted his head to the side, closed his eyes and didn't look at her, just hoping that the other party would be bored and leave by himself.
Bai Ye's attitude was cold and abnormal, which made Hu Yan, who was sitting opposite, a little aggrieved, but she didn't have the idea of leaving, and she had already prepared a way to deal with this expected situation.
After a long while, Bai Ye found that Hu Yan had no intention of leaving at all, and even started some kind of activity that would make a slight sound of brushing, which made him a little curious, so he quietly half-opened his eyes and swept his gaze to the opposite side.
"This is it! That's great! ”
The sudden exclamation made Bai Ye look stunned, and then he turned his head away fiercely, never looking at the other party again, but turned his face, but the green tendons on his forehead jumped and jumped.
Although he only glanced at it, the instantaneous change in Hu Yan's expression completely fell in his eyes, and he finally knew what the other party was doing.
And Hu Yan, who was originally sitting opposite biting the tip of the pen with a serious expression, exclaimed excitedly at the moment when Bai Ye opened his eyes and peeked at himself, grinned at Bai Ye, and directly lowered his head to continue the unfinished painting, yes, she was painting, sketching.
"That's it! Look, isn't it very similar! After a while, Hu Yan put down the pencil in his hand and turned the drawing board in his hand to face the white night as if offering a treasure.
"Look, it's you who drew it!"
Bai Ye exhaled lightly, turned his head and glanced helplessly at Hu Yan with a smile on his face, since he was a child, it was the first time he found that women could be so dead-faced.
Thinking helplessly in my heart, my eyes were attracted by the other party's masterpiece.
"This, this, this, me?!" Bai Ye opened his mouth in shock, and was stunned for a long time before he looked away in disbelief, and looked at Hu Yan who was sitting in front of him with a smile in his eyes.
"Isn't it like?" Hu Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, pouted and looked down at his masterpiece, "It's quite similar." ”
One more look at the abstract? Sketching, Bai Ye was speechless, looked up and sighed, and said in his heart, forget it.
Inexplicably, he was a little disappointed, he originally looked at the other party's very professional appearance, and even captured one of his own actions specifically for this purpose, thinking that the other party was a sketch master, who knew that it was, to be funny.
Maybe even he didn't notice this emotion of his own, and he was never very close to people, but he actually longed for something he had never experienced in his heart, especially the proximity of the other party without any other distractions, which made him feel something different from before.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and for the first time he looked at this woman who was five or six years older than him with a smile.
"Well, it's not like that." Bai Ye's eyes swept over the group that didn't see any resemblance to himself, the smile on the corner of his mouth twitched, and then he quickly recovered, directly reached out and took the drawing board, shook his head gently, and said: "But thank you, this, this is the first time I have received a gift other than my father, although it is not particularly satisfactory, but it is special enough, thank you." ”
"Well, I'll take your thanks." The frustration on Hu Yan's face disappeared instantly, and a cheerful smile appeared again, but then there was a slight embarrassment on his face, he glanced at Bai Ye, scratched his head and said: "But it's really not like it, it's okay, I'll take it back and revise it, and when I learn it...... Oh no! It's been modified, I'll give it to you. ”
As he spoke, Hu Yan reached out and grabbed the miserable sketch.
"It's okay, I like it, it's not like it, but it makes a lot of sense." Bai Ye easily dodged Hu Yan's hand, hid the drawing board behind him, and shook his head with a smile.
"Well, okay then." Hu Yan lowered his head and snickered, very happy in his heart.
"Huh!"
Bai Ye smiled, took out the drawing board behind him and looked at it carefully, but he also felt that there was really something like it.
An unprofessional sketch, but it dispelled a lot of the coldness in Bai Ye's heart, and accepting this rare gift made him no longer deliberately face this person who suddenly appeared in his life with indifference, maybe this will be the beginning of trouble, but who can predict what will happen in the future.
The next get along a lot, although the conversation is not deep, but Bai Ye also found out about the situation of the woman in front of him, obviously showing a clear purpose, but in the conversation, he asked about hobbies and preferences as if he was visiting a reporter, and he had no experience at all.
Although Bai Ye didn't care much about this, after all, he just regarded it as a rare friend, but he was still obviously more comfortable in his heart.
The conversation between the two knew that Bai Chengzhi was back, and the box he was carrying when he left was gone, and the face that was crowded with a sad face also showed a smile of relief.
"Who is this?" When Bai Chengzhi saw a guest coming to his house, he was stunned at first, and then looked at Bai Ye.
"One, friend." Bai Ye thought about it, and finally replied.
"Hello uncle, my name is Hu Yan, and I am Xiaobai's new friend." Hu Yan got up and greeted politely, looked at Bai Ye and Bai Chengzhi's faces, then lifted the bag, turned around and waved his hand at Bai Ye and said, "Xiaobai, sister will go first, I will come to play with you when I have time." ”
After saying that, he left here directly.
After Hu Yan left, Bai Chengzhi glanced at Bai Ye inquiringly, Bai Ye quietly turned over the drawing board and covered it, nodded with a flat face, and said, "It's a friend." ”
"Leave her alone, what's going on?" Bai Ye exhaled, looked up at Bai Chengzhi and asked.
"It went well." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Bai Chengzhi's face, "It's all solved, all the loopholes that should be filled in have been filled, and there is still a lot of money left." ”
"Hmm." Bai Ye nodded, leaned on the sofa as soon as his body loosened, and said, "I don't care about the next things, you just make plans." ”
"Intended?" Bai Chengzhi was stunned, then turned his head to look outside, his eyes were slightly dazed, and after a long time, his gaze was withdrawn, and he said seriously: "The previous ones are all gone, it's time to open a new chapter!" ”
