After a brief snooping in the middle of the night yesterday, Su Jia understood that the lights in this room would light up automatically when the door was opened.
At this time? It was noon, and the dazzling? Daylight illuminated most of the rooms, and there was no need for artificial light sources.
But in this room, the heavy blackout curtains are tightly drawn, and it must rely on electric lights for lighting.
Su Jia saw some of the interior scenes last night, and all he could see were paintings.
It's just that she was flustered at the time, and she couldn't see it clearly enough.
Right now, Ji Xuanyi is holding her hand and walking in? Su Jia is sure that this is indeed a studio.
In the spacious interior of sixty to seventy square meters, except for a large rectangular table and an entire wall of painting utensils, all of them are occupied by completed paintings.
Framed?, scattered?, large? large? small, hundreds of? oil paintings.
The style is unified, the content is all-encompassing, and most of them are fanciful? Unconstrained? Messy lines and abstract brushstrokes.
It needs a certain appreciation threshold, but with a casual glance, there will be an artistic atmosphere.
Su Jia seemed to have stepped into a small art exhibition. Gorgeous colors and bold styles rushed into the visual threshold, and she was overwhelmed.
She was depressed for one night and one morning? Her eyes burst out again? Smart? Starlight, she jumped in front of Ji Xuanyi and asked: "Are these? Are you drawing them? They are well drawn."
Ji Xuanyi's often shrewd eyes on her at the business negotiation table, judging that she doesn't seem to be lying or perfunctory.
"Do you understand?" He raised his brows, somewhat curious.
Su Jia said without hesitation, "I don't understand."
Ji Xuanyi leaned on the table, like a blue wave? A hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Then you still agree?"
"Fortunately, I don't understand."
The family environment made Su Jia pragmatic since she was a child, and she devoted herself to the daily studies that required the least cost. She had nothing to do with art. However, this did not prevent her from having her own understanding of art.
"Picasso's? Cubist painting, I can't understand it, and I can't understand it, but it's a handed down? Artwork.
"Maybe art is like this? Well, if you don't understand it? You can imagine it at will and interpret it at will."
Su Jia pointed to the wall hanging on the side, a painting made of accumulations of deep and shallow blue paint, "I think it looks like a starry sky, like the sea."
She stepped forward and threw herself into Ji Xuanyi's arms, looked up at his most distinctive eyes, and smiled sweetly: "It still looks like your eyes."
Ji Xuanyi's brows and eyes curved slightly: "Did Auntie drink honey water for you? Your mouth is so sweet."
"be honest."
Su Jia turned around and walked around the room, looking enviously at each painting.
At the end, she stood back in front of Ji Xuanyi, and then remembered to ask: "Well, do you really like drawing?"
Regarding this point, she had never heard anyone mention it, including Ji Xuanyi himself.
What other people say? He is a sharp-sighted? A businessman who kills decisively? A ruler with good wine in his arms and a beautiful woman in his arms? An uninhibited prodigal son.
It is cruelty, indifference, and the game world.
Unexpectedly, in the most secret and inviolable corner of the home, there is infinitely magnificent art hidden.
Ji Xuanyi casually picked up a paintbrush on the table, lowered his eyes and played with it: "Well, I liked it when I was young."
Su Jia remembered that he mentioned that he had learned to draw when he was a child.
"Didn't you study later?" Su Jia asked cautiously. She learned from Li Mengxin that he studied finance abroad.
"No." Ji Xuanyi's tone remained flat, "I draw very badly."
The picture of the paintbrush jumping between the fingers was reflected in his eyes, and his expression fell to Shu Leng: "Everyone around you says so."
In the long flood of memories, there is a blues work similar to what Su Jia mentioned earlier.
But that painting belongs to the trash can.
All over the sky? Flying? Scraps of paper, mocking ruthlessly and bluntly: "What did you draw? What is it? I didn't draw it? Ultraman looks good."
"What did you draw? You can't even read it, it's rubbish!"
"It's so ugly, it must be torn off! Tear off!"
"Don't show us your drawings again? No one likes to look at ugly things."
…
"It's not." Su Jia insisted, "I told you, it's very beautiful."
Ji Xuanyi put down his brush, stopped looking back, and smiled: "You have a filter for me."
Su Jia did not deny this, "These are the ones you like the most right now?"
Ji Xuanyi stood loosely, watching her quietly.
Su Jia tilted her head and murmured, unraveling the cocoons in her mind, stringing together the details that were usually ignored.
"Not just this room, you used? A few lines to make it? Wechat profile picture, your design of villas and dresses, including your Pagani, I checked online, it is the most? Design sense? Among supercars First, it will be customized for customers, so it can be said to be a walking work of art.”
The corners of Ji Xuanyi's lips curled up, and he put his hands on her slender waist, put his arms around her and asked, "Have you observed me so much?"
Su Jia rolled her eyes triumphantly: "Since you really like it, stick to it? Ah, we can hold art exhibitions in the future."
Ji Xuanyi was slightly taken aback, who didn't have a whimsical dream when he was a child
What he yearned for back then? It wasn't a "businessman" who was sitting on the president's seat and smelled like copper.
He had also looked forward to his own painting exhibition.
"These are for occasional painting for fun. If you want to be qualified to hold art exhibitions, you need to learn from a teacher systematically." Ji Xuanyi laughed at himself, "I'm almost twenty-eight years old."
"Thirty-eight is not too late, you have basic skills." Su Jia encouraged, "The law is so troublesome, I just started to learn it."
Ji Xuanyi was amused by her inappropriate? For example.
"Okay, Jiajia will be my model?" His tone became cynical.
Su Jia carefully looked at the surrounding paintings: "You don't seem to draw portraits."
"Draw." Ji Xuanyi did not hesitate, "I only draw for you."
Su Jia blinked curiously, but was wary again: "How do you want to draw?"
Ji Xuanyi looked at her from bottom to top, and smiled thinly. Fulang: "Take off naked, draw naked body."
Su Jia's eyes widened in astonishment, once again breaking the lower limit of his indirect shameless impression.
She was so annoyed that she stepped on his foot, scolded "pervert", and walked out quickly.
The indoor cotton mops Su Jia was wearing didn't have much power when stepped on the insteps. Ji Xuanyi didn't take it seriously, raised his eyebrows, and then went out the door.
Standing outside the door, before closing the door, he looked inside deeply for a moment.
Light and dark overlap, the canvas is still gorgeous.
From then on, he was no longer the only one involved in this hidden declination.
The nanny finished cleaning each room and left quietly.
Su Jia sat cross-legged on the "sofa" in the living room, turned on the TV and looked for cartoons.
Ji Xuanyi followed her and put his arms around her shoulders: "Are you angry again?"
Su Jia's eyes were fixed on the TV screen, turning a deaf ear.
Ji Xuanyi said to himself: "How can I coax you?"
He leaned closer and rubbed against her? Ears and neck.
The shallow hot breath slowly brushed the delicate skin, Su Jia was itchy, and said as if begging for mercy: "Don't make trouble."
Ji Xuanyi smiled triumphantly, hugged her with both hands, and watched cartoons with her.
Suddenly, Su Jia turned her head and asked, "Are there any other taboos here?"
Ji Xuanyi looked down at her, slightly puzzled.
"I'm afraid I'll accidentally step on your cordon." Su Jia whispered.
Ji Xuanyi rubbed her head: "This house is the most impossible to trespass. I have taken you to all the rooms. In the future, you want to go to any room."
Su Jia breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you have something else in the future? Taboo, tell me."
Ji Xuanyi put his cheek against her? Black hair?: "Is there something wrong with that incident last night? I didn't say hello to you beforehand, and I suddenly got angry with you. Did you freak out?"
He didn't have the habit of locking the room. Usually, in this house, only the nanny would come. It was because he subconsciously thought that she would not enter the wrong room, so he ignored the reminder.
"Isn't it?" Su Jia confided truthfully, "I'm afraid..."
She stopped abruptly, unable to continue speaking
Ji Xuanyi inexplicably thought of the worry in her dream.
Those two questions were like a resounding heavy hammer, knocking on his ear, which made his heart ache.
Ji Xuanyi rubbed Su Jia's white hands, and uttered two words tenderly: "No."
Su Jia didn't understand what he said was wrong, but in his warm embrace, for no reason, she felt a great peace of mind.
She returned to school at night as usual.
Su Jia got out of Ji Xuanyi's car and walked towards the dormitory building along the path.
Just as she stepped over the threshold, she heard an exaggerated female voice: "Wow, Wanwan, this bracelet of yours is the latest model, right? I saw the price on the official website is so high, enough to cover my living expenses for a year or two." .”
Su Jia searched for the sound and looked over. Not far away, standing side by side with her were Yue Wanwan and her roommate.
"Yes." Yue Wanwan raised his right hand decorated with a diamond bracelet, "My sister gave it to me."
The roommate sighed enviously: "Your sister is really kind to you."
"Is she a new one? Her boyfriend is so kind to her."
Yue Wanwan took a very crooked route, and gradually separated from Su Jia by only one meter, intending to glance at her pointedly.
"My brother-in-law spends time every day with my sister and buys for her, unlike the one before."
Su Jia rolled her eyes speechlessly, and concluded that she was speaking for herself
At this time, there were urgent footsteps from behind, and Su Jia's shoulder was patted by the chasing man.
She turned her head and saw that it was Yao Linxia.
Sister Cool is wearing a chic short leather jacket, but her expression is not controlled, her smile is so swaying that she can't see her teeth.
Su Jia was confused: "Yao Yao, are you laughing? What?"
Yao Linxia's voice was loud? Guo Yuewanwan: "I heard Zhou Yuan tell a joke. Someone became a bad old man? Little three and little four, he doesn't put his tail between his legs, and shows off everywhere, his skin is worse than a city wall Still thick."
Yue Wanwan probably didn't know about that unspeakable charity dinner, and didn't understand Yao Linxia's bright
She is still bragging to her roommate: "My sister's? Boyfriend is young and handsome, and it's generous to spend money on her. You can't find it with a lantern."
Su Jia, as someone who knows the most about the inside story, really can't listen to it, otherwise she can't help tearing down her channel.
Her eyes signaled? Yao Linxia hurried away, but Yue Wanwan stopped her by name: "Su Jia, aren't all the school forums praising you? What about your boyfriend? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"
When it comes to herself, how can Su Jia not stop to deal with it? Why
She still asked back? Refutation: "Why should I mention it?"
She shook her head, apparently unable to agree with Yue Wanwan's actions: "Rather than showing off your boyfriend, it's better to show off yourself."
Since Yue Wanwan is coming to find her fault, don't blame her for being rude: "Does your sister have nothing worth admiring? You can only rely on men?"
"Of course, my sister is a well-known dancer." Yue Wanwan replied angrily, "Will you go to see my sister's performance? I will give you a VIP ticket so that you can feel what shock is. "
Su Jia and Yao Lin looked at each other, and immediately agreed: "Okay, if you give me the ticket, I'll go?"
Yue Wanwan's roommate also said: "Wanwan, I want to go too."
"No problem? It's just tickets for the show. I'll ask my sister to give me a few more." Yue Wanwan immediately took out his phone to contact Yue Qiaoqiao.
Su Jia and Yao Lin went back to the dormitory no longer in a hurry, and waited for her next words with interest.
After a while, Yue Wanwan's expression unexpectedly changed subtly.
She coughed and bluffed: "My sister is adjusting her status recently, and she won't perform anymore. When she comes back, I will give you tickets."
Su Jia and Yao Lin Xia deliberately replied "Yes" and strode up to the second floor.
Entering the dormitory, Yao Lin scolded: "Stupid."
Su Jia guessed that Yue Qiaoqiao was embarrassed and didn't want to tell her sister about the current situation of being banned. Yue Wanwan is now in the sky, and wonders how exciting it will be when he knows the truth.
—
Since December, the temperature has dropped steadily, and dry? cold has swept across the city.
Colleges and universities across the board are heading into a tough month of final exam prep in unison.
Especially for French students who have won the college entrance examination at the end of each year, they wish they could travel back to the moment when they filled out their volunteers and change their majors.
Su Jia's short-term goal is to win a national-level scholarship, and the medium-term goal is to successfully graduate and must improve her grade point.
She squeezes time every day to endorse books and cultivate her legal thinking. She wished that one day could be divided into two days.
It's rare for them all to be out on weekends in their dormitories. Even Yao Linxia, who doesn't like to be active during the day the most, will set aside two or three hours in the afternoon to prepare for the exam after catching up on sleep.
Of course, in her own words: "It's almost the final exam, and I'm going to start previewing."
On this unremarkable Saturday, Shu Xinjing went home to pick up thick clothes, and Su Jia and Ming Li made an appointment to go to the library.
In the early morning when the sky was dim, Su Jia stood on the balcony and brushed her teeth.
Mingli ran over with her mobile phone in her arms, scratching her head embarrassingly: "Jiajia, Wan Hengyu suddenly asked me to go to the cafe outside the school to review together."
Wan Hengyu is an extremely gentle and shy boy, it is not easy for him to take the initiative to ask Ming Li for a date.
Su Jia spit out the foam in her mouth, without thinking: "Go? Ah, don't worry about me."
She is going to the library to study, it doesn't matter if she is alone or two.
Mingli happily gave her a big bear hug: "Jiajia is the best? Well, come back this afternoon and bring you cakes."
Su Jia smiled and reminded jokingly: "When the time comes... don't just look at my little brother, I didn't remember a single word in the book."
"Look at me, you can still remember a word?" Ming Li shyly ran away.
After buying breakfast in the cafeteria, Su Jia went to the library while eating.
During this period, the library topped the list of "the most popular places on campus", and it was often full of seats.
It took her a long time to find a vacant seat in the reading room on the top floor.
Focused on flipping through the book until half past ten, the cell phone in my pocket vibrated.
Su Jia took it out and saw that it was a message from Ji Xuanyi: [Where is it?]
Su Jia typed truthfully: [Library.]
Ji: [Wait, let's have lunch together.]
Su Jia replied with a cat nodding? Emoji package. He probably just woke up. It will take a while to come from Grand Hyatt Court. Put down the phone and continue to focus on the endorsement.
After a while, the phone vibrated again.
This time it's a call.
Su Jia took a look, is it from another place? No remark number.
Her first thought was that she was from her hometown, but she carefully looked at the address of the number, not Rongshi.
Su Jia was too lazy to answer an unfamiliar number from unknown sources. It was either a phone scam or a wrong number, so she hung up.
However, this number worked tirelessly and was broadcast again and again, which made Su Jia feel strange.
In order not to disturb other students who came to self-study, she quickly walked out of the reading room and went to wash her hands.
"Hello, may I ask? Are you?"
Just as Su Jia asked, a harsh voice came from the other side and replied, "It's me."
After a brief identification, Su Jia confirmed that the other party was still his biological father, Su Jianchuan.
She looked at the source of the number again in doubt. It was Jincheng, which is hundreds of kilometers away from Rong City.
Could it be that he ran to Jincheng
No need? Su Jia took the time to ask? What did he want from him? Su Jianchuan has already expressed his intention to come:
"Your brother got into a fight at school and knocked out one of his classmate's teeth. He has to pay a lot of money. Our family can't solve the problem now. You should pay tens of thousands of dollars and come back."
It's been two months since the last call, and what I said was still related to money.
The scholarship for Su Jia to be admitted to North City University is generous, and she can get tens of thousands of yuan, but that is the tuition fees she has prepared for herself in the next few years, and she will never use it to fill that bottomless pit.
"Dream, instead of pestering me, why don't you drink two bottles of wine and go outside to work for a few more days." Su Jia suppressed her voice and said coldly.
Su Jianchuan got angry: "You should be struck by lightning from the sky? Unfilial daughter? Are you going to force me to death?"
Su Jia snorted sarcastically: "Is this sentence a little familiar? I told you similar things before, right? How did you reply to me?"
Su Jianchuan: "Stop talking nonsense with me. If your mother and I hadn't stopped you from making trouble, our family would have gotten that big sum of money?"
"I remember." Su Jia smiled, not knowing what was going on, looking eerie and unfamiliar, "You said that I could die if I wanted to. It would be best if I was hit by a car when I went out, and I could blackmail the driver."
Su Jianchuan yelled: "What I said before? It was angry words! Thanks to you, you are still an educated? University student, can't you understand the angry words!"
"But you said it." Su Jia calmed down a lot, trying her best not to care about her tone, "Would you say such things to your precious son?"
Su Jianchuan was dumb for a moment, and she was not curious about his answer.
The answer is obvious.
He will not.
After Su Jia asked, she wanted to hang up the phone and end this ridiculous? Sad? topic, but heard another voice from the other side: "Uncle, let me have a chat with her."
Su Jia felt that there was something familiar.
The familiar "disgusting" feeling.
Her? Xiumei twisted involuntarily.
The handover of the mobile phone was quickly completed, and then a glib male voice hit the eardrums: "Old classmate, it's me, Zheng Biao."
Su Jia's whole body froze into a stone pillar, her right hand shook violently, and the phone slammed to the ground with a "bang".
