"The most utter despair often sharpens the sharpest courage." —Ancient Rome Seneca

——

When Gu Weijing held the handlebar, he thought that it was not a haggard and helpless girl who was holding on to family changes.

Some of the changes are visible at a glance.

For example, she no longer wears all kinds of small hairpins, and there is no smile in her eyes, no makeup, no lip moisturizer......

And in some places, Coco is still the same Coco.

For example, she had a straight face, gritted her teeth, slightly puffed out her cheeks, and stared at the road in the distance seriously and stubbornly.

It is like a little beast migrating in the heavy rain, obsessively stepping on thousands of mountains and rivers.

Strong and determined.

Full of life.

The rain wet her face, the slender bangs between her foreheads stuck to her smooth forehead, and the corners of her mouth were tightened, as if she was biting something tightly between her teeth.

Bite life.

Never let go.

Gu Tongxiang felt when Gu Weijing was drawing with a pen that when children grow up, they can see the shadow of men from boys, and sometimes, it is really a matter of a few months.

That's true for boys.

Isn't that true of a little girl?

It's been less than a week since I last met with Koukou.

But in a trance, the girl next to Gu Weijing faded away from the girl's youthfulness, innocence and brilliance.

Coco is already charming.

At this moment, it seems that there is a vague charm of a mature woman, and it seems that it has completely grown.

Only those eyes are still girl's eyes, clear eyes, stubborn eyes.

All the gifts that life has given her have been washed overnight like this heavy rain.

She was the only one left.

Flat broke.

It's also azure.

Now she was tilting her head slightly, staring at him with these azure eyes.

Gu Weijing looked directly into the other party's eyes for a moment, and felt that the familiar and lively Miss Coco in the past seemed to have jumped out of the bottom of the other party's heart again.

"Well, I was riding a good bike. If you wrestle with me like this and help me absentmindedly, I'm going to really fall, huh, will you wash my school uniform? ”

The owner of the girl's eyes said lightly.

It's still the most usual tone of Koukou's tone, but in the past, the playful tones that seemed to be music boxes in the girl's mouth, with high and low jingles, have been flattened a lot, and they sound a little more cold.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry."

Gu Weijing subconsciously spread his hands and apologized.

As soon as he let go so suddenly, the bike stopped and lost its support, but it really tilted to his side immediately.

Gu Weijing hurriedly tried to stretch out his hand again.

But Coco had already deftly stepped out of the saddle of the old lady's bike.

"Clumsy."

Coco looked at the other party's embarrassed appearance, poofed, and was amused.

"It's raining heavily."

"Hmm." Kou Kokou restrained her smile, lowered her eyes, and hummed softly.

"You rode your bike to school today."

"Hmm."

"I think you look like ......"

"My father's anti-money laundering project failed, and he has lost his power in the police world, and now he is transferred to be a traffic policeman, which is equivalent to the concept of sending eunuchs who have lost power to guard the emperor's mausoleum in ancient times."

Coco was impatient with this kind of unnutritious cautious tentative questioning, and raised her eyes: "Life is not easy, but you can go on, and you should be satisfied if you lose the wrestling with the chain of interests behind Brother Hao." That's the way it is, just say whatever you want to ask, don't want your mother-in-law's. Could it be that things get worse just because you ask them honestly? ”

"I'm not such a glass-hearted crybaby. Why talk like a girl! ”

She put the bicycle leg down and leaned in and turned around.

Miss Coco hugged her arms and told all the changes in the most straightforward words and in a straightforward way.

"Did you come here just to repeat the newspaper stuff?"

was ridiculed for talking like a "girl" Gu Weijing, but was stunned for a moment by Koukou's dry attitude towards problems.

He hesitated.

"I messaged you directly, and I haven't seen you back, so I'm a little worried."

Coco paused.

His eyes blinked a few times, and finally turned away.

"I ......," she shrugged her shoulders, "I saw it, but I didn't know what to say, like now, I don't know what to say to you." ”

"Is there anything I need to do? Maybe I can help you out – like me, I have some money on hand. ”

"You're going to raise me? I probably ate it. ”

Kou looked at him quietly for two seconds, and Gu Weijing lowered her head embarrassedly.

"I didn't mean that—"

Instead, she puffed out her cheeks, "Hmph, you're bold, classmate Gu Weijing, where do you have the confidence to say that you want to support me!" If I take your money, won't I become your little brother? I've always had you covered in school. Think of it beautifully. ”

Gu Weijing blushed at the scold.

He was at a loss to open his mouth to explain, saying that he didn't mean anything else, just that his friends wanted to help each other.

"Bye-bye—"

And Coco had already coolly stepped into the car and rode in the direction of the school.

Gu Weijing looked at the girl's back.

Suddenly.

He saw Kou Ko riding a few meters, then got out of the car and threw it directly in the water pool on the side of the road.

Turning around with a straight face, he walked over to him.

So many years in school.

Gu Weijing never understood Miss Coco's thoughts.

Looking at her little face and cold appearance, he suspected for a moment that his reckless attempt to give money to the other party offended Koukou's pride.

She didn't like enough after two sentences of self-criticism, and wanted to continue to teach him a lesson.

The speculation only stayed in his mind for a moment.

Because, Kou Kou had already opened her arms, suddenly smiled, leaned over, and hugged him gently.

Gu Weijing was stunned.

So he didn't hide.

He held the umbrella in one hand and watched as Coco's hand wrapped around his shoulder.

It's like yesterday.

Just like that day, Coco jumped down from the covered bridge at the school gate with a big black umbrella and knocked down all the bad things around her like a little woman.

Pull him into your arms.

When Miss Coco opened her arms, he couldn't escape it.

"No need to apologize, no need to explain, I actually know what you mean. Like you used to use to reply to me on the chat, thank you, I appreciate it. ”

Koko leaned over his shoulder and whispered.

"But I suppose you have someone you should care about more than me, don't you? Rest assured, I can live my life on my own. ”

It's a hug with the smell of rain all around.

Cold and moist.

It's like a rain cloud that finally begins to clear on the horizon, and it is instantaneous at the touch of a button.

"Sorry for getting your school uniform wet, take care of yourself, Brother Hao is a terrible person."

Kou gave him a gentle pat on the back twice, turned around, walked over to pick up the bike again, and rode in the direction of the school.

This time.

She didn't stop again.

Coco clenched her face tightly, not allowing herself to show any weakness.

If the two of them are a couple of lovers.

Kou will not hesitate to share her difficulties with the other person, telling him her fears, her fears, her sorrows.

Will put his arms around his shoulders and cry and choke.

They are one.

If he can accept her strength, he should also bear her vulnerability.

But Gu Weijing already has someone he likes.

……

The first time Mona saw Miss Sakai, she realized that they were not people of the same world, and that all she wanted was to please and make friends.

But even if she is the daughter of a world-famous painter, Coco dares to fight and rob.

She has always been a person who dares to love and hate, and she doesn't feel inferior to anyone.

She has the right to like anyone in the world.

But after the accident in the family.

Instead, she chose to keep her distance.

It's not because she's become inferior.

It's a beautiful memory with the taste of youth.

She is not the person chosen by Gu Weijing, but she can still hold her head up and her chest nobly.

Kou Kokou didn't want this memory to deteriorate, relying on the other party's mercy or charity to get any benefits, hanging on the other party.

I don't want to turn my trouble into your trouble.

She is a proud person, a little woman who wants to ride a fierce horse and conquer life.

Whether she's riding a tens of thousands of dollars of imported British Triumph motorcycles, or a dozen dollars of worn-out squeaky paint-off bikes.

None of them change that.

It is enough for the other person to remember the best side of her.

This moment.

The heavy rain that had been falling all night finally stopped, and the blue-gray clouds split in the sky and fell right on Coco's hair.

Gu Weijing, who was holding an umbrella and looking at her slender back, felt such a scene.

It's so cool that it has a hint of sacredness.

——

Gu Weijing wore a school uniform that was wet with rain, and when he walked into the campus corridor, many students formed a small circle like the stars holding the moon.

"Take it apart!"

"Take it apart!"

"Take it apart!"

……

Through the gap in the crowd, he saw the boy in the middle holding a brown envelope and waving his arms like a symphony conductor.

Every wave of his arm.

The boys in the crowd were like drunks in a tavern in a western movie, and the "Wu ......" cheered even louder.

Dulwich operates on a shift basis.

There were no regular classes for each grade, until more and more students in the hallways were attracted by the laughter and noise here.

The strange murmur of the crowd became like the whistle of a train, or the howl of a wolf on a night in the Moon Garden, so sharp that the eardrums were overwhelmed, as if the roof of the corridor was about to be lifted altogether.

The boy finally tore open the envelope with a swipe.

"I hereby certify that Mr. Miao Aung Win, a member of the Yangon Calligraphy and Painting Association, you have been selected as a candidate for membership of this National Art Association, please ...... on the 9th of this month."

The boy read aloud.

Immediately, there was an even more enthusiastic burst of exclamation.

"Wow. I heard that Miao may jump twice this time and join the National Artists Association directly, but I still don't believe it, I think that an eighteen-year-old high school student can become a member of the top painting association, which is still too mysterious. Now it seems that I was naïve. ”

"The rumors are really not groundless, at this age, this status, set an Asian record."

Since the membership of the National Artists Association is true, then the legendary Venice Biennale, the next National Pavilion exhibitors, is not it also true? Brother Miao is going to the sky! ”

"What is Brother Miao, Brother Miao, can you call it! Call Master Miao. Why don't you hurry up and ask for an autograph, when our Master Miao is worth so much that it will be in the sky, if you want to sign it again, you won't have a chance. ”

"That's it, it's ......"

“……”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Gu Weijing paused for a moment, and then he understood what this battle was all about.

When he was in the car, Gu Tongxiang had just mentioned to him about the selection of this year's National Artists Association.

Turning his head to the school, Miao Angwen received a notification letter from the candidates who were shortlisted for this year's Painting Association.

Look at this battle.

As a candidate for the admission quota this year, Brother Hao used insider operations to ensure that he was already convinced.

When Gu Weijing saw Miao Angwen in the crowd.

Miao Angwen also saw Gu Weijing.

If you don't have the same values, you don't see the world in the same way.

Gu Weijing sighed, fortunately he did not waver in front of Brother Hao's temptation, otherwise he would have stepped into the quagmire from which he could never recover.

Miao Angwen sighed with emotion, the choice really changed fate.

Ever since the day when Brother Hao fell in love with him and wanted to gild him as the next generation of national painters throughout Yangon, his life suddenly took on a new splendour.

Heaven and earth are all working together.

Recently, it has really made Miao so happy, one after another.

He was already dead to Coco.

In a person's life, there is always a different kind of feeling for the first butterfly that flies into a dream.

Seriously.

Miao Anwen is not a little sling now.

He has no shortage of female companions.

Many people realize that his rise has become unstoppable, and there are girls on campus who are fat and thin, waiting for him to pat and hold on.

As an important part of Brother Hao's planning, there are also women in the Xihe Hall who let him enjoy themselves.

Money fishing color.

gambling and sex.

It is the only way to pull people into the water.

In order to entrap and corrupt those bureaucrats and warlords, Brother Hao has never lacked Yingying Yanyan in the Xihe Hall all year round, from Eastern Europe to Thailand...... There are all kinds of women.

Meat has meat to play.

Well-known gameplay.

Coco ...... In Miao Angwen's heart, it is different after all.

In the past, he didn't dare to touch the daughter of the high-level police, at least Brother Hao wouldn't let him touch it, but the daughter of a small traffic policeman, it was different.

Kou Kokou's family background is more than Brother Hao's wrists, and he can complete the investigation against him without blood, which makes Miao Angwen even happier.

His mind immediately came alive.

Of course.

Until then.

Now joining the National Artists Association is the most important thing, and Miao Angwen is very important.

After all, subordinates who don't have enough value are worthless to Brother Hao.
