After gym class, it's lunch break.
Jiang Jinjin still walked towards the restaurant with two protectors, one on the left and one on the right, which attracted the attention of many people.
This was also the first time Zhou Mingfeng came to the school restaurant to eat. Zhou Yan took the meal card and took the two of them to the restaurant with a la carte style. There were not many people here. A family of three occupied a table. Yan Zhengfei and Zhou Yan were not in the same class, but he was always well-informed. He received several important news as early as in class—
First, brother Yan and Xu Congjian played basketball at the same time.
This shocked Yan Zhengfei.
Zhou Yan liked to play basketball and football since he was a child, but he didn't touch basketball much after he was in high school.
This matter is related to Aunt Zhong. Zhou Yan's second stepfather had parents, but this stepfather was a firm DINK. The stepfather's parents misunderstood that the son wanted to please Zhong Fei so they didn't have their own children. This old couple was also very picky about Zhou Yan. At that time, Zhou Yan would occasionally go to Zhong Fei's place to eat and spend the night. One time, he also played basketball. When his stepfather's mother passed by the basketball court of the villa, he didn't pay attention, and was knocked down by the basketball and sent to the hospital.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with it, but the stepfather's mother took advantage of it and scolded Zhou Yan severely.
Zhou Yan is not a good-tempered person, but seeing his mother's face, he didn't quarrel on the spot, but just went home with a gloomy face.
This incident was also the trigger. Not long after, Zhong Fei filed for divorce from her husband.
But even so, since then, Zhou Yan has never been to Zhong Fei and others' new home.
Zhou Yan is a sensitive and delicate person.
He didn't want to blame his mother, so he had to bear it all by himself, but at the same time, he also inherited the pride of his parents in his bones, and he would never give any outsiders a chance to hurt him.
Second, Uncle Zhou came to school without incident! !
This surprised Yan Zhengfei even more.
In order to find out what was going on, Yan Zhengfei rushed to the restaurant after class, and after looking around, he saw the harmonious family of three by the window.
Not knowing what they were talking about, Zhou Yan was so angry that he clenched his fists and pounded the table.
Yan Zhengfei and Zhou Yan have been playing together for as long as they can remember. He knows Zhou Yan very well, and he can tell that although Zhou Yan seems to be angry, in fact his eyebrows and eyes are smiling.
In the end, Yan Zhengfei didn't bother the family of three.
Of course, he didn't have the guts to go forward.
Just sat down a little far away.
Both Zhou Mingfeng and Jiang Jinjin ordered Zhou Yan as a matter of course, while Zhou Yan let them order him like a hardworking bee.
For a while I helped them get purified water, for a while I helped Jiang Jinjin change the soup spoon, because she thought the spoon in her hand was ugly, and for a while I helped Jiang Jinjin get sugar cubes, and she suddenly wanted to drink pure water with a little sweet taste up.
Now in Zhou Yan's heart, Jiang Jinjin is not only a sue, but also a workman.
The most terrible thing is that his father still looks like he is enjoying it.
But in fact, what he doesn't know is that he also looks like this, the father and son are exactly the same.
Zhou Yan's mood was particularly high. When he returned to the classroom after eating, the expression on his face could be regarded as gentle. Before returning to his seat, he was bumped by someone, and he took a closer look. It was a new face. From Yan Zhengfei's conversation, he quickly guessed that this girl was a newly transferred student.
Qiao Su stared at Zhou Yan stiffly.
Before transferring to another school, she had heard from her friends about the school bully's "great achievements".
How arrogant and domineering he is, how arrogant he is.
After transferring to another school, she occasionally heard the girls in her class talk about Zhou Yan, all with a tone of wanting to get close but scared.
She subconsciously looked at Zhou Yan's fist.
If it was in the past, although Zhou Yan would not scold girls, the impatience on his face would be enough to scare people to death, but today is different, his mood is so good that he is so happy that such a trivial matter as being bumped into by someone obviously cannot affect him Mood. He just glanced at Qiao Su, then turned to make way for her in a gentlemanly manner.
Qiao Su's heart was beating wildly, and when she left, she raised her head and glanced at him quickly.
The corners of Zhou Yan's lips raised slightly, he was still wearing a jersey, and he was flamboyant.
Sunshine came in from the window and fell on Zhou Yan.
On the other hand, Zhou Mingfeng and Jiang Jinjin didn't have time to stay in school for too long. Zhou Mingfeng had to hurry to attend the meeting, and Jiang Jinjin had to go through the formalities and sign the contract for the opening of the new store. The two were about to part ways in the parking lot when Zhou Mingfeng suddenly called her back.
Jiang Jinjin didn't know why, so he stopped and looked at him suspiciously.
There was no one around, Zhou Mingfeng raised his hand and slowly helped her untie the silk scarf.
Jiang Jinjin came to his senses, quickly covered his neck, and said angrily to him, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Mingfeng said in a calm tone, "Tie it up for you."
Jiang Jinjin: "..."
His fingertips brushed against the red mark, causing Jiang Jinjin to shudder, and calmly helped her tie the silk scarf.
In the passenger seat of the car not far away, Assistant Liu watched this scene through the car window, feeling deeply moved.
How sweet, how considerate Mr. Zhou is!
Helping my wife tie a silk scarf is so sweet.
Within two days, red flags were hung on the streets of Yanjing.
The day before the National Day, Zhou Yan had a holiday half a day early. After lunch, he followed Jiang Jinjin like a follower with his schoolbag on his back.
Jiang Jinjin wondered: "Didn't the driver come to pick you up?"
Zhou Yan said without changing his face: "It's uncomfortable to sit in that car."
This obviously looks like she was raped this afternoon.
It was only recently that Jiang Jinjin discovered that Zhou Yan was very clingy. He would take the initiative to come over to eat with her when he ate in the cafeteria at noon, pretending that he was afraid that she would be lonely. Then Yan Zhengfei would come over, and Xu Congjian would occasionally come and sit with them, but not many times.
"I'm going back to my alma mater today." Jiang Jinjin said, "I've made an appointment with my former counselor."
Zhou Yan hummed: "It's just right, I'll visit your alma mater for a while."
Originally, Zhou Yan had planned that if she had other matters, he would not be with her, but when he heard that she was going to school, he remembered what she had said about campus bullying.
When was she bullied
Middle school, high school or college
All schools are dangerous. Although Zhou Yan also knew that she would definitely not be bullied now, he was still a little worried when she heard that she would go to her previous school.
Jiang Jinjin had no choice but to change his plan and take Zhou Yan to the university where the original owner was before.
The original major was only a very ordinary undergraduate college in Yanjing.
Zhou Yan was born and raised in Yanjing, and he hasn't wandered around this school for so many years.
However, from the moment she got off the car, Zhou Yan, like the two bodyguards before, entered a state of alert, as if any criminal would rush towards her at any time, watching all directions and listening to all directions, which made passing college students They all looked around frequently, thinking that something had happened.
Jiang Jinjin had helplessness on his face, but was very moved in his heart.
She was also inspired by the original owner's high school experience. Before, she was wrong and put her life experience on the original owner. At that time, she felt that since the original owner had no contacts with the former classmates, it must be because she was not familiar with them or the relationship was not very close. In this case, she I didn't know any useful information, so I didn't think about starting with this one.
Some time ago, she came to this school and inquired about the teacher who specialized in bringing the original owner of that class.
The teachers no longer have any impression of the original owner.
An enthusiastic female teacher asked her to find the counselor at the time. Generally, the counselor would have more contact with the students in the class.
At that time, the counselor who led the original owner's class happened to be studying in a foreign school. She asked for the counselor's contact information. The counselor returned to Yanjing the night before.
The original owner's college counselor is a man, almost forty this year, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a T-shirt issued by the school.
"Thank you, teacher, long time no see."
Teacher Xie stared at Jiang Jinjin for a while, then smiled and said, "I was a little surprised when you first contacted me. Is there something wrong?"
Mr. Xie took a child with him. The child looked about four or five years old, with curly hair and drooping eyes.
Of course, Mr. Xie's son put all his attention on Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's scalp felt numb.
The child is also very familiar, and within a few moments, he pesters Zhou Yan and won't let him go. Children like to play with people older than themselves.
No way, Zhou Yan had to be dragged by the child to the other side to watch the ants move.
The child was still very noisy, Zhou Yan kept making noises, and Zhou Yan's eardrums were hurting, and the child had so many problems that Zhou Yan hated himself for not being deaf.
"Brother, why did the ants move?"
Zhou Yan: "It might be raining."
"Why is it raining?"
Zhou Yan: "..."
"Why do you have to move when it rains?"
"Brother, why don't you talk to me?"
"Brother, why is it an ant, but I am not an ant?"
"Why do you move when it rains, but not when the sun comes out? Do you move when it thunders? Do you move when it snows?"
Zhou Yan held his head in pain: who am I, who am I.
He remembered that he seemed to be so annoying when he was a child, often pestering his father.
Thinking about it now, his father didn't beat him to death, he was really kind to him!
…
Zhou Yan was entangled by the child here, his eyes were dull, and his expression was loveless.
However, Jiang Jinjin has already inquired about useful information from the counselor.
The original owner's college life was considered peaceful, he didn't have very close friends, but he didn't have any enemies with his classmates. He was an extremely ordinary student in the class. This made Jiang Jinjin heave a sigh of relief. If the original owner was still bullied in college, she would want to destroy the world.
The counselor also mentioned a gallery. According to the counselor, this gallery was a part-time job that he introduced to her.
Because the original owner had a basic talent for painting, he happened to have a high school classmate who was in charge of the gallery management, and he was short of people to do chores, so he introduced the original owner.
The counselor also asked curiously: "Didn't you work in that gallery later?"
Jiang Jinjin managed to calm down and smiled, "No. Now I'm opening a shop and doing some small business."
"That's good too."
After chatting for about half an hour, Jiang Jinjin took the prepared gift from the trunk of the car and gave it to the counselor.
The counselor was also very polite, and the two of them pushed back and forth for several rounds before the counselor reluctantly agreed to accept the gift.
Before leaving, the child was very reluctant to part with Zhou Yan, crying heartbreakingly, as if he was going to roll on the ground if he was not allowed to go with him.
Zhou Yan showed pain on his face: "..."
After leaving the campus, Jiang Jinjin looked at Zhou Yan still in a daze, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you want to exaggerate like this?"
Zhou Yan took a deep breath: "My ears hurt so much."
Amid Zhou Yan's grievances and complaints, Jiang Jinjin took him to the gallery mentioned by the counselor.
The address of the gallery remains unchanged, but from the outside, it should be newly renovated.
When the two entered the gallery, several staff members were busy, and only a young girl in her early twenties entertained them.
Jiang Jinjin thought that the employees of this gallery should have been changed, but no one recognized the original owner.
According to the counselor, the original owner had worked part-time in that gallery for two years.
Even if the original owner had a weak sense of existence, she wouldn't be able to work with her for two years. Colleagues still couldn't remember her, could they
Zhou Yan was also wandering around the gallery bored.
In the end, he stood still in front of a picture with a deep thought on his face.
Seeing him standing there motionless like a pillar, Jiang Jinjin came forward out of curiosity and stood beside him, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yan pointed to the painting on the wall, "I think this painting is a bit familiar."
Jiang Jinjin also took a look.
Frankly speaking, she didn't see any familiarity, isn't it all the same.
Zhou Yan is a very stubborn person. Whatever he wants to do, he must do it. Since he thinks this painting looks familiar, he must think about it. After thinking about it for a long time, when Jiang Jinjin gets a little impatient, Zhou Yan blurted out: "I thought of it!"
Zhou Yan pointed at the painting: "Do you still remember the auction that my dad took us to? Do you remember bidding for a painting at that time, and the technique and style of this painting are exactly the same as that painting! "
Zhou Yan learned everything when he was a child, but he was not very proficient in anything.
He has also studied painting for several years, so he is better than Jiang Jinjin, a complete layman.
Jiang Jinjin was stunned.
The painting at the auction...
It seems to be the work of Xi Chengguang of Yuansheng Group.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but when she looked up at the painting hanging on the wall, she also felt that it was too similar to the painting at the auction that day!
Xi Chengguang?
The cute girl with a round face came over and saw that they had been looking at the painting for a long time, thinking they were interested, she flipped through her brochure and said, "Hello, we don't sell this painting Yes, it is a painting by a former writer in our gallery, it is only for viewing, not for sale. Why don't you go and see if there are other paintings you like?"
Jiang Jinjin was completely dumbfounded.
What's the matter, there is such a painting that is not for sale in the gallery where the original owner worked part-time, and it is suspected to be the work of the deceased Xi Chengguang
"You mean, this painting is the painting of a writer in your gallery?" Jiang Jinjin's heart beat wildly, "Then, what is the name of this painter?"
The girl flipped through the brochure, "I don't know what it's called, I only know the surname Xi," she smiled apologetically, "I only came to work in May this year, so I don't know many things, sorry."
Even Zhou Yan noticed something was wrong, he lowered his voice and asked Jiang Jinjin: "It seems that it is really Xi Chengguang's painting, I read it right, you used to work in this gallery, so do you know him?"
