(a)
The scenery along the streets of Chateauroux is very unique, as the main road of communication between the north and south of France, the city is a fusion of two very different cultures in the north and south of France, the streets are dominated by traditional French light-colored buildings, and there is no lack of dark reddish-brown buildings with strong characteristics of the Ocitan region, the two complement each other, making the city even more charming.
The two came to a palatial shopping mall, and Shengyou took Mu Qinghe's familiar left and right to a clothing store. The mall's icon is a horse pulling a two-seater four-wheeled carriage, and the owner of the carriage is standing in front of it and waiting for a vacant seat.
This icon Mu Qinghe has seen before, and there is also a Hermes store in the small town where Mu Qinghe lives, selling all kinds of high-priced luxury goods, but that place is not affordable for Mu Qinghe, an ordinary citizen.
"You're going to bring me here to buy clothes?" Mu Qinghe asked in a low voice, his voice a little lacking in confidence.
"I originally wanted to tailor a set for you, but I was too late, so I had to come to this ready-to-wear store to buy one." Shengyou's eyes looked at the expensive clothes with a flat look.
Mu Qinghe also stepped forward and glanced at it, and after reading it, he secretly smacked his tongue, "It's too expensive." ”
"I'm going to take you to a nice place tonight, how about you if you don't dress decently?" Shengyou whispered.
"Two distinguished guests, what do you need?" A beautiful shopping guide had been waiting on the side, her face did not show the slightest impatience, and when she saw the two talking softly, she waited patiently to the side, with a polite smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Is Miss Philaudet here?" Shengyou asked.
"The manager is resting on the top floor, is there anything wrong with her?"
"You go and tell her, and say that her brother has something to do with her." Shengyou sat down unhurriedly, sipping the coffee that had been poured long ago.
The shopping guide bowed and withdrew, and after a few minutes, the sound of high heels hitting the ground suddenly sounded outside the door, and a woman with a well-proportioned figure and a beautiful face appeared in front of the two of them, Mu Qinghe felt a little suffocated, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, her beautiful face was matched with a temperament that had been in a high position for a long time, and the two completely different beauties of strength and softness were all reflected in the woman in front of her, just like a fragrant and distant orchid soaked in the spicy vodka.
"Holy blessing, did you forget me!" The beautiful woman was very excited when she saw Shengyou, she was like a poor person who was looking forward to her relatives in Mu Qinghe's eyes, her expression and her eyes all showed the grievances of the woman who had been missing for a long time, she walked quickly to Shengyou, and her snow-white long legs were raised, and she was a slap at Shengyou...... Flirting with legs.
"My dear sister, how could I forget you?" Shengyou hurriedly turned sideways to avoid this move, which was extremely lethal to the man, and his voice revealed infinite helplessness, "Your employees are still watching." ”
The woman also seemed to feel a series of surprised eyes sweeping over her, she coughed lightly, and her voice was cold, "Get out." ”
The employees hurriedly walked out and closed the door by the way.
"Holy blessing, how many years have we not seen each other? We haven't seen each other since you went to Beltamen University. The beautiful woman sat down on the sofa and lifted her legs without the slightest ladylike image.
"I just got off the plane and rushed to see you, I'm a student now, how can I be as free as before." Shengyou stood far away from her, and it was obvious that he avoided the woman in front of him like a snake and scorpion.
"I don't care how busy you are, I have to see you once a month, or I'll kill you at Beltamen University!" The beautiful woman said viciously, "Also, if you dare to transfer your resentment against your father to me imperceptibly, you know the consequences!" ”
Oh my God, is there a second woman in the world who is so unreasonable? Holy Blessing is about to collapse.
"Great Sage, should I avoid it." Mu Qinghe was frightened, he didn't expect that there would be a woman who dared to have this attitude towards Shengyou, this fierce woman was not easy to mess with at first glance, in order to avoid disaster to the pond fish, he still went out to hide.
"Shy away from the fart, this is my sister Philod Judit." Shengyou looked disdainful, "fart" was the first "dialect" word that Shengyou and Mu Qinghe learned together, because there was no pronunciation word for "fart" in English, he had to use the Chinese pronunciation of this word instead, so after saying this sentence, the strange pronunciation of half English and half Chinese often made Mu Qinghe laugh.
Shengyou's sister obviously felt that her brother had a good relationship with this poorly dressed boy, and she was surprised that her brother, who had always been arrogant and unreasonable, would still make friends?
"Holy blessing, is this man your friend?" Fei Laodai pointed to Mu Qinghe, who was shy and scratching his head, and asked.
"Sister, you pick out a beautiful dress for him, and I will pay for it."
"I can still afford the cost of a suit!" Fei Laodai glared at Shengyou and got up to choose clothes for Mu Qinghe.
I don't know what the reason is, Shengyou's sister has a very good attitude towards Mu Qinghe, and after a while, several people became acquainted, and Fei Laodai enthusiastically recommended clothes to Mu Qinghe.
"A black crewneck short-sleeved shirt with a street style that stands out, is mysterious and low-key without losing personal style, very practical and versatile, and for you, it can also add a little masculinity to you with a pair of darker shorts." Fei Laodai picked up the clothes and put them on Mu Qinghe's chest for comparison, shook her head from time to time, and then frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Black is not good, it looks too mature, or blue is more suitable for you, the lower body is paired with these beige shorts, the gentleman is full of temperament, it suits you very well."
After fiddling with it for half an hour, Philodé's eyes lit up, and it was finally finalized. Mu Qinghe was like a wooden stake, standing there awkwardly and letting her push around. As for Shengyou, she had already been driven out on the grounds that she was in the way.
"That's it, you go to the fitting room and change your clothes." Filaudelle let out a long breath, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and put it in her mouth, for a long time, her bright red lips opened slightly, and a cloud of white smoke slowly drifted away.
Mu Qinghe seemed to be a different person after coming out of the fitting room, with a royal blue short-sleeved shirt with lapels and beige shorts, and a pair of white canvas casual shoes, giving people a feeling of brightness in this hot summer.
"Not bad." Fei Laodai threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with her foot, and looked at Mu Qinghe with a smile.
"I almost don't recognize myself." Mu Qinghe looked at himself in the mirror, touched his head and smirked.
"Alright, my mission is complete, go out and let Shengyou take a look." Fei Laodai waved her hand at Mu Qinghe, but the corners of her mouth opened slightly, and she wanted to say something.
"Hey, wait a minute." After struggling for a moment, Fei Laodai still reached out and stopped Mu Qinghe, who was about to go out, "How is the relationship between Shengyou and you?" ”
Mu Qinghe's footsteps stopped, "I treat him as a friend." ”
"Friends?" Philodé's eyes flickered, "I hope you will always be friends, he's quite pitiful, don't look at the usual cool, when he was a child, he was a crying child." Take good care of him for me. ”
Mu Qinghe nodded thoughtfully, opened the door and walked out, behind his invisible, Fei Laodai laughed silently.
(b)
When the two came out of the mall, the sun had already set, Mu Qinghe asked twice, and when he saw that Shengyou had been silent, he didn't ask any more, and reluctantly followed Shengyou's ass and continued to walk forward.
Further on is the famous slum of Chateauroux, where two things are famous, one is the underground boxing stadium and the other is the secret prostitute. When you enter here, you will find a very interesting phenomenon, at night, many houses are brightly lit, and there will be brightly dressed women leaning on the door frame, or smoking cigarettes, or quietly in a daze, until a man arrives, pulls them into the house, closes the door, and turns off the lights. The wind blew the garbage bags floating outside the door, and there was no ripple in the long dark night. The dilapidated wooden door tried its best to hide the secret that everyone knew.
There are two kinds of prostitutes here, one is an orphan who has been abandoned by his family since childhood, and the other is a poor person who is persecuted by poor parents.
Secret prostitutes are not only women, people here seem to have some original sin from birth, it is not easy for women to steal births, and it is also difficult for men, boys will face a choice when they grow up to six or seven years old, and the handsome ones will be sent to be trained and become a male prostitute; Average-looking but impulsive sent to the boxing ring for training, to be a cheap black boxer, and to win the laughter of those rich and rich with blood.
They passed a lighted house, and a woman walked up with her waist swaying and a smile on her lips.
"Two handsome guys, it's so dark, don't rush, go to my house to rest."
"No, no, no, we have a place to go." Mu Qinghe blushed and waved his hand repeatedly.
"Come here." Shengyou beckoned to the woman, Mu Qinghe was stunned, he was afraid that Shengyou, who hated being disturbed, would not be able to suppress his temper. Who knew that Shengyou took out all the cash from his wallet and stuffed it into her hand.
"It's too hot, and the money can buy you a good refrigeration and air conditioning."
"Here, for me?" The woman's eyes widened in disbelief.
Shengyou didn't pay any attention to her anymore and beckoned Mu Qinghe to continue on his way.
"Thank you." The woman looked at the huge amount of money in her hand and whispered.
"Hey, Great Sage, why did you give her money, she is...... Do that profession. Mu Qinghe trotted to catch up with him.
"yes, I know." Shengyou seemed to be in a good mood, put his hands behind his head, and walked slowly whistling, "It's not easy to survive, cherish it." ”
What is the difference between a rich child who has left his parents and a poor child? They are originally the same kind of people, material satisfaction can never replace the absence of family affection, they are all abandoned by life, who is much more noble than whom?
"Get in the car!" A red Ferrari FF sped from behind them, slamming in front of the two of them and drifting, the front of the car was aimed at the two of them, and Mu Qinghe, who was illuminated by the bright high beams, couldn't open his eyes. The car door opened, and out of it came a woman wearing sunglasses with a cold expression, it was Fei Laodai, who had just separated from Mu Qinghe, she put her hands on her waist and shouted to the stunned Shengyou, "I know where you want to take him, my aunt and grandmother are in a good mood today, and I will give you a ride with great mercy." ”
"Let's go." Shengyou shook his head depressedly, and took Mu Qinghe to sit in, the decorations in the car were mainly pink, full of a faint smell of perfume, not pungent, but gave people a very comfortable feeling. In the lower right corner of the front windshield is a photo that looks old and has been slightly yellowed around it. The decoration in the car is generally very atmospheric and connotative, but it is the existence of this old photo that destroys the overall beauty and looks very unruly.
In this photo, there are four people, a handsome man with his beautiful wife in his arms, and a cute little boy in his arms, and a little girl in the middle, one in each hand, holding the placket of the two. All four of them were smiling brightly, especially the little boy, whose smile was very rendering. This photo Mu Qinghe is very familiar, and Shengyou also has one, which Mu Qinghe has seen on the plane, but Shengyou's one does not have the man, and the man's half has been torn off.
"You still have this picture." Shengyou, who was sitting in the co-pilot, also saw the photo, and he asked coldly.
"Did you throw that one of yours?" Philaudet drove quietly, the dim streetlights and the reflection of the trees flashing on both sides, "How happy you were smiling then." Philodé's lips were slightly curled, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
"People always change, he will, and so will I." Shengyou held the knife in his arms and stroked it gently.
