From the day the project at the S City Art Expo Center ended, Gu Bai had been squatting at home for three days without going out.
Not only did he not go out, he didn't even call the little monster from the property to bring him food.
Every time Zhai Liangjun stuck his head out from his house to see the situation, Gu Bai's house door was tightly closed and locked.
When the fox spirit told Si Yiming about this, Si Yi was obviously quite calm.
The boss can roughly guess what Gu Bai is doing—mostly he is seriously drawing the paintings for him, because this little brat has always been honest. A hundred-year-old leather.
Si Yiming appreciates this serious attitude.
But in order to avoid the fox spirits harassing the little brat, Si Yiming casually said to Zhai Liangjun: "Maybe he is in retreat."
This year, there are still monsters who have calmed down to retreat and practice!
Zhai Liangjun was immediately awe-inspiring.
It's not that the monsters of this era are so impetuous, but it's a matter of retreating and practicing. Generally, it is to stay away from the world, find a quiet place in the deep mountains and forests, and seek truth from the world.
But it was also said that the whole earth already belongs to human beings at this moment.
As for human beings, there are always some people who like to develop mountain tops, contract mountain forests, build luxury original ecological resorts - more in-depth, those explorers and endangered animal research specialists, go up the snowy mountains and down to the wetlands, and go deep into the mountains. There is no place on the cliff that they cannot touch.
A few years ago, it was said that a big black bear who had been in retreat for more than ten years ran into an aerial camera head-on while strolling around his retreat, and was given anesthesia by a group of human researchers within two days. He was sent to the Wildlife Conservation Center, and then he was sent to another mountain across most of China.
The reason is that the original mountain forest did not meet the living conditions of the big black bear, and the research judged that the big black bear should be released into a suitable living environment.
When the big black bear ran back to the mountain where he retreated, all the belongings he left there had been robbed by the monsters nearby.
There are more than one or two such examples. The monsters in the deep mountains are also very vigilant.
And like their apartment complex, which is directly located in a bustling and bustling metropolis, there is no such thing as a retreat at all—it's easy to get distracted when you are disturbed during retreat and practice.
Therefore, in this big environment, there are only a handful of monsters who can retreat and practice. There is a saying that every monster who can calm down and retreat has an unlimited future.
When Zhai Liangjun heard that Gu Bai was in retreat, he seemed to have seen a rising star in the demon world.
With a serious face, Si Yiming, who had fooled the fox spirit, was silent for two seconds. He never expected that the fox spirit actually believed so.
He just said that casually, lest the vixen's curiosity come up and run away.
After all, it is the most taboo to be disturbed when creating. Gu Bai never went out, and he didn't even call anyone to deliver the food, which proved that he was really serious and immersed in it.
But when did this fox be so fooled
Si Yiming looked at Zhai Liangjun and hesitated.
And Gu Bai, who was at the center of their discussion, was removing the two private paintings from the easel. The watercolors had already been painted, and the oil painting had just dried.
Today, he could just hold the inner frame, go to the shop where he customized three picture frames, and frame the two private orders and the painting to be exhibited.
Gu Bai put on his bank card and mobile phone, and went out with three inner frames of different sizes.
As soon as the door on his side opened, Si Yiming and Zhai Liangjun looked over in unison.
Gu Bai was blocked by the picture in front of him, so he didn't notice them at all. Holding the picture frame, he groped and closed the door, then walked towards the elevator. After a few steps, he saw the two big men who seemed to be talking to each other. .
Gu Bai was taken aback: "Mr. Zhai, Mr. Si, good morning?"
Zhai Liangjun also froze for a while, and glanced at the painting in Gu Bai's arms: "Good morning Gu Xiaobai, what are you going for?"
"Go get my picture frames and frame them." Gu Bai replied.
Zhai Liangjun turned his head and glanced at Si Yiming, then at Gu Bai: "You've been painting this for the past few days?"
"Yes." Gu Bai nodded.
But in addition, there are actually Mr. Si's huge paintings. Gu Bai didn't mention it because he was not sure whether Si Yiming would like to let others know.
But he didn't mention it, and the vixen knew that he had been fooled.
Zhai Liangjun didn't dare to say anything, turned his head and complained to Si Yiming who had fooled him.
Si Yiming thought about it, and slapped Zhai Liangjun on the back, and said lightly, "You make a fortune."
Zhai Liangjun choked up and down in one breath, staring for a long time without saying a word.
Being appointed by a god of wealth like Pixiu to say that he wants to make a fortune, it must be a big fortune.
Zhai Liangjun is not short of money, but the business he is going to discuss in a while has nothing to do with human currency. To be honest, he is not particularly confident.
At this moment, Si Yiming said that he was going to make a fortune, and Zhai Liangjun's high-hanging heart somewhat fell.
He hummed, and reluctantly stopped thinking about Si Yiming's fooling him.
Mr. Zhai regrouped, and just as he was about to continue transforming into Gu Bai's back pendant, Si Yiming stepped in and took over the job.
"It's hard to get the painting." Mr. Si said, "Where are you going? I'll take it to you."
Gu Bai is holding the painting, but he actually feels okay. He has made a significant leap in his physical fitness recently. The three paintings plus the weight of the inner frame are just as light as paper.
Gu Bai looked at Si Yiming, who had already changed his shoes, and turned his throat twice when he refused, but finally swallowed it back and said, "Then trouble Mr. Si."
Si Yiming nodded, and walked past the confused fox spirit to the elevator. Then, as if he had remembered something, he looked back at Zhai Liangjun and reminded, "Huang Yining should be back today."
Zhai Liangjun woke up in an instant, looked down at his rather loose pajamas and pajamas, and hurriedly ran back to his room to clean up his image.
Gu Bai hugged the painting and was amazed by this series of operations.
Mr. Si really treats Mr. Zhai very well!
Gu Bai, who couldn't find any other way to appreciate Zhai Liangjun's unfamiliar enthusiasm except to accept and repay his efforts, looked at Si Yiming with admiration on his face.
Si Yiming turned his head and glanced at him: "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Si is amazing." Gu Bai said honestly.
Si Yiming raised his eyebrows, feeling that the worship from the little monster was quite useful to him.
Si Yiming picked out a low-key car from the garage. Just as he was about to open the passenger door, he found that Gu Bai had already sat in the back seat with his painting.
Si Yiming withdrew his hand to open the passenger door and said nothing. After asking for the address, he started the car directly.
Si Yiming was so familiar with S City that he knew every small street and alley without navigating at all.
Gu Bai discovered this and opened his mouth to express his admiration, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he couldn't think of more praise than the dry "Mr. Si is amazing".
So he silently held back the conversation.
Gu Bai, who is not good at socializing, doesn't know how to take the initiative to provoke a topic. This kind of situation of getting along alone in a confined space is completely different from the situation when he encountered a casual greeting or something to share before.
He found that he had nothing to talk about with Si Yiming at all, and Si Yiming was not like Zhai Liangjun, who could talk happily without end.
It was quiet in the car for a while.
Gu Bai carefully guarded his painting, lowered his head and poked his phone, thinking about what to say, and occasionally raised his head, trying to check Mr. Si's face through the rearview mirror for any signs of displeasure. .
—Although only a quarter of Mr. Si's face can be seen in the rearview mirror.
Si Yiming noticed Gu Bai's cautious gaze and thought it was a little funny.
At a traffic light, Si Yiming took the initiative to speak: "These paintings..."
Gu Bai was stunned for a moment, and replied hastily, "It was a private order I received. I have been working on your paintings well."
Si Yiming wanted to say that he didn't question Gu Bai's intention to fish for fish, but when he thought about Gu Bai's private order, he paused slightly: "Are you short of money?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Gu Bai said proudly, "I'm rich now!"
Si Yiming glanced at him through the rearview mirror, but was not surprised.
- Nonsense, walking so close to Pixiu every day, it is a ghost if you can't make money.
But Si Yiming's focus was not here, he just continued: "Gu Lang won't give you money..."
When Si Yiming said this, he paused and said suddenly: "Oh yes, he is squatting in some messy places all day long. It's normal to have no money."
"Hey?" Gu Bai was stunned for a while, "You know my father, he..."
Gu Bai hesitated for a while, thinking about whether to continue asking.
His dad never said where he went, and it would be impossible to say that Gu Bai was not curious and didn't want to know.
But Gu Bai absolutely respected his father.
Dad didn't want to say it, so he wouldn't ask. Even if he learned about it through other people's descriptions, Gu Bai felt it was inappropriate.
Si Yiming had given up on correcting Gu Bai's misconception that "Dad is Gu Lang".
He also guessed what Gu Bai wanted to ask.
"Don't go to Gu Lang, the place where he stays is too dangerous." Si Yiming warned.
After all, it is a big ominous beast that is the public enemy of the divine beast.
Although Gu Lang has been silent since three hundred years ago, if he smelled his scent and appeared in his jurisdiction, a divine beast would violently drive him out.
There are also a few who are in charge of patrols, and they like to chase after beasts.
If Gu Lang was not discovered, he would probably have been hiding, and he would have gone to a place with a very high degree of danger.
For example, an active volcanic crater, such as the Mariana Trench, such as a crack in the crust or a snow cave on the highest peak of Everest, such as inaccessible places where large-scale battles are not allowed.
The fighting between the divine beast and the fierce beast is very fierce. It is normal for an earthquake, a tsunami, an avalanche or something to happen accidentally, so the place where Gu Lang wants to hide is actually very clear.
These places are too dangerous for Gu Bai, who is still a cub.
Besides, Gu Bai couldn't possibly be Gu Lang's cub!
Si Yiming will never reveal to Gu Bai where Gu Lang might be.
Si Yiming saw that the countdown to the red light was coming to an end, turned his head to the little monster and emphasized with a serious face: "Since the key to the apartment was sent to you by Gu Lang, if he wants to find you, he will definitely come directly, you Don't try to find him."
Gu Bai was silent for a while, then said, "Where Dad is staying... is it dangerous?"
Si Yiming nodded: "It's very dangerous."
Gu Bai nodded: "Oh."
Si Yiming looked at Gu Bai, who was playing with his mobile phone calmly, with his head down in surprise. He didn't expect his reaction to be so flat.
Gu Bai took a deep breath and opened the text message interface with his dad.
Dad he...
Really a superhero who saves the world!
Gu Bai was full of reverence and decided to look back and find a time to draw a picture to record those unknown heroes who silently guard world peace.
Like his dad!
The author has something to say: Gu Bai: My dad knocks the stick! !
Si Yiming: ? ? No, what do you say? ?
