Sweetheart, darling, I picked it up

Chapter 453 Just Running Away
Seeing the little girl's dejected look, he patted her on the head.

"You're right, why depend on others? We can figure out how to support ourselves."

The girl looked up.

"Feed yourself?"

"Youyou, if you don't mind, you can be my assistant in the future? How about it? Just treat it as rent for living here."

He knew that with Youyou's character, if she kept eating and living for free, he would definitely feel very uneasy, so he found an errand for her.

The little girl's eyes really lit up, "Assistant?"

"Yeah, would you like to see my workshop?"

"Yeah," Xia Youyou nodded hastily, "I want to see it!"

They walked into the next room one after the other, and the moonlight drifted into the spacious room through the gauze curtains, casting light and shadow on the room.

The lights were turned on by Xu Cheng, and the beautiful oil paintings on the wall made the whole suite look particularly artistic.

Xia Youyou couldn't help walking towards those paintings.

Some paintings are clear and bright, while others are exaggerated. There are girls staring into the distance, there are children playing the piano with Daishan Mingshui frowning, and noble ladies with heavy makeup...

The people and objects in the paintings seem to be endowed with independent souls, whether warm or indifferent, they appear vividly on the paper.

"It's so good!" She couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Although I have seen Xiao Chengzi draw pictures in the classroom, the oil paintings displayed in this room are completely different from the black and white sketches he draws casually on the whiteboard for 5 minutes with a pen.

Xia Youyou stopped in front of one of the paintings, slightly lost in thought.

On the canvas, the landscape is beautiful and the flowers are clustered together. The little girl sitting by the waterfall is swinging her feet and looking up at the sky slightly with her arms outstretched.

A head of beautiful long hair fluttering in the wind, a natural and lovely smile, exuding a smart and innocent charm.

that girl...

Xia Youyou vaguely felt that she was herself, but she didn't look like her. Her facial features were similar, but she was much cuter and smarter than the real her.

"This is the Xia Youyou in my memory."

He said behind her: "I always wanted to draw what you looked like when you grew up, but I couldn't draw it. The you in my memory have always stayed when you were seven years old."

"Have I ever smiled so beautifully before? The little girl above is smiling so happily."

"When a person grows up, he is not as carefree as when he was a child, but when he grows up, he will always have the joy of growing up."

"Really?" Xia Youyou lowered her head slowly.

Xu Cheng knew that she was thinking about her brother again, "But in just one year, do you think that with your brother's personality, you will really find a girlfriend?"

Xia Youyou turned around, "What?"

"You heard what I said. Youyou, are you sure that the girl who lives in your house is really your brother's girlfriend?"

She frowned, and her expression of forbearance became a little painful, "There's nothing wrong with it, I heard my brother say that she was his girlfriend, and I saw them with my own eyes..."

"See what? Saw them kissing?"

"No," Xia Youyou shook her head, recalling, "but I saw that girl holding my brother's hand all the way, and I saw my brother take her to meet her parents, have dinner together, and go home."

"That doesn't prove anything either."

Xia Youyou pursed her lips, thinking about what Shen Jiayin said.

"No girl would say that casually, right?"

"In the end, you are just giving yourself an excuse not to face the reality. If you run away, what the girl said may be false, but if you face it, you are afraid that everything is true, and there is no room to escape."

Xu Cheng's words pierced Xia Youyou deep in her heart. That's right, she was escaping, she was afraid of facing the truth...

"Do you think I'm useless?"

The boy standing in front of her shook his head, "Escape is the way to protect yourself. Youyou choose to escape, then I am here as a refuge for you to hide temporarily, you just need to hide in peace of mind."
