Walking out the door, Wen Xiaohui asked, "How do I get to XX Road from here? Is there a subway or bus station nearby?"
Luo Yi said: "I'll check it out for you later, I'll send you there first today."
"Ah, you take me there by bicycle? It's far away, you should be late for school."
"It's okay, more than 20 minutes, I won't be late."
"Okay, let's go." Wen Xiaohui sat on the back seat of the car, but this time he politely didn't hug Luo Yi's waist.
Luo Yi plugged in his earphones and drove him out of the community.
Wen Xiaohui took off one of his earphones: "What are you listening to?"
"Listen and see."
Wen Xiaohui stuffed it into his ears, it was a light and melodious tune, a slightly hoarse female voice sang in a language he didn't understand, he put his forehead on Luo Yi's back, closed his eyes and hummed softly along with the tune, feeling I also went back to a year ago. At that time, he was also listening to music while riding a bicycle. His daily worries were only endless homework and never enough pocket money. Although he hated studying, he missed it just like everyone who worked. school days.
Luo Yi sent him downstairs to the studio, Wen Xiaohui jumped off the bicycle, stretched his waist: "Thank you, you can go to class quickly."
"I'll come to you at night? Let's go have dinner together."
"No, I didn't go back yesterday, I have to go home today, otherwise my mother will eat people, let's try another day."
Luo Yi was a little disappointed: "Okay, then we..."
A red MINI Cooper suddenly turned in and parked roughly beside them, only 20 centimeters away from them, startling the two of them.
Wen Xiaohui raised his eyebrows and stared, and cursed loudly: "Whoever doesn't have eyes, you are looking for death!"
The car window was lowered, and Luca poked out a delicately made-up face from inside, squinting at the two of them: "Wow, Adrian, you are more environmentally friendly than taking the subway today, you are a model of low-carbon travel." Xixi applauded.
Wen Xiaohui rolled his eyes: "I'm low-carbon and environmentally friendly. Some people sell..." He wanted to say "sell ass", but in front of Luo Yi, he swallowed the ugly words, "I don't know how to take it." What is the exchange of the car, sitting on it is not afraid of being burned."
Luca sneered: "It's so sour, you can sell it if you have the ability?"
Wen Xiaohui narrowed his eyes, reached out his hands to cover Luo Yi's ears like lightning, showed his small white teeth to Luca, and said in a low voice, "I won't sell it so cheaply like you."
Luca's complexion changed: "I think you can't sell it at a high price. If you are hungry, you will even kill minors."
Wen Xiaohui scolded: "Fuck your mother, this is my nephew, if you don't get out, you won't be able to drive back today."
Luca gave him the middle finger, closed the window, and drove away.
Wen Xiaohui let go of his hand, his chest heaving.
Luo Yi said: "Is that your colleague?"
Wen Xiaohui said irritably: "Well, the mouth is too cheap."
"Did you have any trouble with him?"
Wen Xiaohui snorted and said: "If you have a hairy holiday, isn't it because you are jealous of me, jealous that I look better than him, have more regular customers than him, and are more respected than him. I love to pick on me for everything, it's so annoying."
Luo Yi looked at Luca's car and said thoughtfully, "He's not a local."
"Ah?" Wen Xiaohui couldn't react, he didn't know why Luo Yi asked this suddenly, "No, what's wrong."
"It's nothing, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as a villain."
"Hmph, a cheap person has his own rewards, I don't have the same knowledge as him." Wen Xiaohui looked at his watch, "Hurry up and go to class."
"Okay, see you another day."
"See you."
Wen Xiaohui took a deep breath and walked towards the studio. In fact, going to work every day is like a battle. You have to deal with mean colleagues, picky bosses, and difficult customers. When he first came, he didn’t have enough experience, so he didn’t know how to turn corners. He suffered a lot. Now it's finally here.
There were not many people on the morning shift. After Wen Xiaohui entered the room, there were only Luca and two other female colleagues, one was Xiaoai and the other was Lujie.
Xiao Ai is about the same age as him. She is a distant relative of a partner of Juxing. She is a bit clumsy in her hands and feet. Fortunately, she has a simple and cute appearance and personality. She is like a mascot in the studio. Sister Lu has been an assistant for a partner for many years. Here is the old seniority.
Xiao Ai walked over in a brisk pace: "Adrian, you didn't change your clothes! Tell me, where did you go fooling around last night?"
Wen Xiaohui hooked her shoulders, and said mysteriously: "Why do you sound so similar to my mother... Come on, come on, I'll tell you quietly."
Xiao Ai blinked her big bright eyes, and leaned over with a gossipy face.
Wen Xiaohui suddenly shouted in her ear: "A relative's house!"
Xiao Ai screamed in fright and jumped away like a frightened rabbit.
Wen Xiaohui ran away with a smile, Xiao Ai chased after him with fists.
Sister Lu urged: "Stop making trouble, Xiaoai, Xiaohui, you guys go and take back the towels that were hung out last night."
"good. "
The two ran to the terrace on the top floor, where four clotheslines were pulled and hundreds of towels were hung. They chatted while collecting.
"Adi, I actually saw you upstairs, and Luca, who is that boy on a bicycle, so handsome and cute."
"My nephew."
"Wow, don't your family members look so good-looking? Your nephew is the perfect image of a first love senior. How old is it?"
Wen Xiaohui scolded with a smile: "It's only fifteen, what are you doing?"
"It's only three years younger than me." Xiao Ai laughed and said, "Forget it, I'll wait for him to grow up."
"What's the matter, you and your boyfriend quarreled again."
Xiao Ai's hands paused, and she sighed softly: "I suspect he cheated."
"Is there any evidence?"
"No, it's just intuition." Xiao Ai shook her head, "Don't talk about him, it's annoying. By the way, why have you never said that you have a nephew? Aren't you the only child?"
"Oh, a distant cousin. I haven't contacted her for a long time. I just found out that her son is in Beijing some time ago."
Xiao Ai blinked ambiguously: "So, you are far away from his blood relationship. I haven't seen him before. Did you sleep at his house last night?"
Wen Xiaohui ruffled her hair vigorously: "What are you thinking about!"
"You're the one who kept clamoring for a 18cm hunk, I thought you'd..."
"Hey, the young master has morals. He said he wanted a 18cm hunk, and he wanted an 18cm hunk. How could he attack a child."
Xiao Ai cupped his hands at him: "My little girl admires it."
In the morning, there were usually no guests, so after Wen Xiaohui packed up the towels, he went to practice makeup with Sister Lu on the model.
Before lunch, Raven came and called him directly into the office.
Wen Xiaohui was a little nervous, after all, he was scolded by Raven just yesterday.
Raven glanced at his little daughter-in-law, and wanted to laugh a little: "Go back last night and reflect on yourself."
"Repented." Wen Xiaohui was not convinced, it was Luca who provoked him first, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Not convinced, are you?" Raven carefully looked at his shiny and round nails that had just been waxed.
"No."
"Hey, everything you think in your heart is written on your face, and you still pretend."
Wen Xiaohui couldn't understand what Raven wanted to do.
"In this circle, there are many people like Luca. He is the first one you meet, but not the last one, nor the most difficult one. Since you want to go this way, you must have this Mentally prepare."
Wen Xiaohui let out an "oh" for no reason.
"Do you know who introduced Luca?"
"Miss Xiaoyan."
"Yeah, and I recruited you." Raven was still looking at his nails with a casual look.
Wen Xiaohui suddenly realized that he had heard gossip before that the three partners of Juxing wanted to squeeze out the other two. Probably when they jointly built this studio, they did not expect to make it a nationally famous modeling studio Well, now that the cake is getting bigger, no one wants to share it with others.
Raven laughed and said, "Why are you standing and sitting?"
Although Wen Xiaohui was a little ignorant, he still realized that Raven wanted to win him over, so he sat down quickly, maybe his chance was really coming.
Raven said: "In two days, there will be a charity dinner held by the XX Group. In Shangri-La, many celebrities were invited, and I was also invited. I happened to be doing makeup for Li Hua that day. Would you like to help me?"
Wen Xiaohui was immediately excited. Li Hua is a first-line actress in China, and she has a good relationship with Raven. Usually, Raven brings his own assistant. It is impossible to get him as an intern assistant. Raven's words directly knocked him out .
Raven nodded at the table: "Hey, talk, don't let me talk here alone."
Wen Xiaohui said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you Raven, I am so excited!"
Raven gave him a sideways glance, and said with a smile: "If it wasn't for Akai's temporary business, I wouldn't take you there. If you go, you have to live up to it, and don't embarrass me."
"Absolutely not!"
"Go buy a decent suit, ah."
"yes!"
Raven whispered: "Don't tell Luca about this, lest he mess with you again."
"Don't worry, I won't tell him."
Raven laughed.
Back home at night, Wen Xiaohui walked into the room with his neck shrunk, Feng Yuehua sat on the sofa with his arms folded, and a knife swished towards him.
Wen Xiaohui said coquettishly: "Mom, you are so beautiful and young today. It seems that the effect of sheep placenta is good. I will ask my friend to bring two bottles from Hong Kong."
Feng Yuehua pointed to the ground: "Come here on your knees."
Wen Xiaohui ran over with a smile, and hugged Feng Yuehua: "Don't be angry, Xiao Ai had a fight with her boyfriend, it's so pitiful, I stayed to comfort her last night."
Feng Yuehua pinched his thigh fiercely: "The bigger you get, the more disobedient you are. If I had known earlier, I would have thrown you into the trash can."
"I was so beautiful when I was a child, you don't want to."
"Damn it, you're ugly when you were born. You look like this because of my good genes and because of my good breeding."
"Pretty mother is right in everything she says."
Feng Yuehua gave him a blank look: "Have you eaten yet?"
"No, let's eat and eat."
At the dinner table, Wen Xiaohui talked about irrelevant things for a long time, and then pretended to say casually: "Mom, I have a colleague who lives on the side of XX Road, very close to the studio. Her relatives have returned to their hometown, so they have a room..."
Feng Yuehua frowned and said, "You want to move out?"
"No, where do I have the money to move out? My co-worker is timid, a girl, and dare not live alone. She wants me to accompany her every now and then. I'm too tired recently. The studio is so far away from home. Every day The time spent on the road is only three hours, especially the night shift, and it’s already midnight when I get home, so I can’t hold it anymore, I think... If I’m on the night shift in the future, I’ll go to sleep with her.”
Feng Yuhua thought for a while: "Is it safe?"
"There's nothing unsafe, that neighborhood is pretty good."
"Then what are you going to do with your meal?"
"Oh, two big living people can still starve to death."
"That's fine. I also think you come back too late from the late shift. Every time you are on the late shift, I have to wait until you go home before I can fall asleep."
Wen Xiaohui felt a little guilty, although he didn't do anything bad, but he lied to his mother after all. But he really wanted to go to Luo Yi's place, not only to live up to Yaya's entrustment to him, but the most important thing was that he could occasionally escape from the long commuting journey, which was too important to him.
