color as bait

Chapter 15 Chapter 15

The taxi did not turn to a nearby hotel street as Zhan Jiarui expected.Instead, he turned left and right, entered a dimly lit alley, and finally stopped in front of a residential building.

"Here we are." Shen Zhao opened the car door and jumped out of the car first.

Zhan Jiarui also got out of the car and looked around the place.This building looks old, about 5 or 6 stories high, with mottled walls and messy small advertisements posted on it.At the entrance of the corridor is a rusty iron door, with a faint yellow light shining through it.Can there be food here?Is it some kind of private dish?

Shen Zhao walked to the iron gate familiarly, took out the key from his pocket and opened it, then pulled the door and shouted to Zhan Jiarui who was looking around, "Come in."

"Oh!" Zhan Jiarui responded, and walked over suspiciously.The lights in front of the building were too dim, he accidentally stepped into a pond, the water covered his ankles in an instant, and poured into his shoes!

"Fuck, my Armani!" Zhan Jiarui hurriedly jumped away, took out a tissue from his pocket to save his leather shoes!

"I forgot to remind you, the old community is like this, let's go upstairs first." Shen Zhao stood on the other side of the corridor and laughed.

Zhan Jiarui had no choice but to endure the feeling of water soaking inside the shoes and follow Shen Zhao inside.

"Do you live here?" Zhan Jiarui asked in disbelief when the two climbed up the stairs to the second floor and Shen Zhao took the key to open the door.With Shen Zhao's appearance, even if he was not favored by the previous modeling agency, he wouldn't be so downcast to come to such a place to rent a house, right?

"Well, this is my house." Shen Zhao opened the door and let Zhan Jiarui in sideways, "I'm not used to renting other people's houses, so I bought this one. The houses here are cheaper."

"Oh." Zhan Jiarui nodded and followed Shen Zhao into the room.

The house is small, the living room is only as big as the bathroom of Zhan Jiarui's house, and it would be very crowded with a dining table and a fabric sofa.But fortunately, Shen Zhao has redecorated the house after buying it, and tidy it up, and it feels quite warm.

"Change your shoes first, I'll help you get a bowl of noodles." Shen Zhao handed Zhan Jiarui a pair of slippers, then put on a plaid apron, and ran to the kitchen.

"Pfft." Zhan Jiarui couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment, because the style of Shen Zhao's apron was really old-fashioned!It felt a little out of place on him.Shen Zhao, a handsome young man with long hands and feet and a handsome temperament, suddenly transformed into an aunt who can be seen everywhere in supermarkets.

But Shen Zhao didn't hear it, he was already busy in the kitchen proficiently, obviously he usually started fire by himself.Zhan Jiarui had nothing to do, so he just wandered around the room.This is a one-bedroom, small but well-equipped.In the corner of the living room, a small open study room was built with a partition. There was a book closed on the black walnut desk. Zhan Jiarui glanced at it and found that it was about photography.Looking at the bookshelf, there are also several expensive cameras.

"Do you like photography?" Zhan Jiarui asked curiously.

"En." Shen Zhao's voice came from the kitchen, "When I save enough money, I will go abroad to study photography."

"Oh..." Zhan Jiarui nodded, looking at Shen Zhao with admiration in his heart.

Ever since he met Shen Zhao at the bar, Zhan Jiarui always thought that this was just another person who used his beautiful skin to make a deal with him.

Zhan Jiarui has met too many people like this, and he always has a flattering and flattering face to himself, maybe it's just for a piece of clothing or a bag.They wantonly squander their beauty, talk about Hermes, shut up about PRADA, and don't know what will happen tomorrow.

Shen Zhao can be regarded as a clean stream among these people.

"The noodles are ready, come and eat!" Just as he was thinking wildly, Shen Zhao had already brought out a bowl of noodles.

Although it's just a bowl of noodles, it can still be seen that Shen Zhao's craftsmanship is very good.The slender noodles lie neatly in the bowl, the noodle soup is clear, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and put a few slices of beef and ham on it, it looks very appetizing.

Zhan Jiarui was really hungry, so he took the bowl without saying a word and started to eat it.A bowl of noodles was drained very quickly, and Zhan Jiarui was sweating profusely. Holding the noodle bowl, he finished the soup before he put down the bowl and sighed comfortably.

When wiping his mouth with a tissue, Zhan Jiarui realized that Shen Zhao was lying across the dining table, looking at him for a moment.He felt a little embarrassed, and asked with a dry smile, "Have you eaten?"

"I have a plane tomorrow, so I can't eat at night." Shen Zhao stood up and wanted to put away the bowl, but Zhan Jiarui grabbed him.

Shen Zhao's wrist is very slender, as if it would break if he tried hard.Shen Zhao turned around suspiciously, Zhan Jiarui let him go immediately, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Why don't you ask anything?"

"What is there to ask?" Shen Zhao smiled, turned and went into the kitchen, and then there was the sound of splashing water in the kitchen.

That's right, even the sweeping aunt of NM Magazine knew about his sudden dismissal!

"Is there a place to sleep tonight? If you don't dislike it, you can make do with me for the night." Shen Zhao cleaned up the dishes, wiped his hands and walked out, looked around his room, and said with some embarrassment, "My place is small, otherwise you will sleep in my room, and I will sleep on the sofa."

"No, no!" Zhan Jiarui wanted to say, just give me the money, and I'll just go to the hotel.But seeing that Shen Zhao had come out with a quilt in his arms, he could only change his words, "I'll just sleep on the sofa! Aren't you going to take a plane shot tomorrow? What if you don't sleep well and you get dark circles?"

Shen Zhao nodded without retorting, and bent over to help Zhan Jiarui make the "bed".Looking at his busy back, Zhan Jiarui was a little moved.Think about those people who usually call themselves brothers and sisters, but when it comes to critical moments, there is no one who can help.On the contrary, Shen Zhao, a person with little friendship, extended a helping hand to him.

"I won't stay here for too long." Zhan Jiarui said, "I'll go back when things at my family... calm down a bit."

"It's okay, you can stay as long as you want." Shen Zhao straightened up, turned his head and smiled at Zhan Jiarui.This smile was like the spring breeze blowing across the lake. Even if he was kicked out by his parents and became homeless, Zhan Jiarui felt that it would not be so uncomfortable.

After taking a bath, Zhan Jiarui, who was lying on the sofa, could not sleep with his eyes open.Shen Zhao's sofa bed is not too small, and the quilt is soft and clean, but it can't make up for Zhan Jiarui's full of thoughts, tossing and turning him, if a pancake, it should be cooked.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep anymore, so Zhan Jiarui put on his clothes and got up, went to the balcony, folded his hands and lit a cigarette.Zhan Jiarui took a sharp breath, and the sparks in the darkness lit up for a while and then dimmed again. He leaned back and slowly exhaled the white mist mixed with his chest tightness.

"Can't sleep?" In the silent night, a voice suddenly came from behind Zhan Jiarui who had just smoked half a cigarette.

Zhan Jiarui was startled, turned his head and saw that it was indeed Shen Zhao.He quickly extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand on the tiles of the balcony, and asked in surprise, "Why did you get up? Did I disturb you?"

"No." Shen Zhao shook his head, lowered his head and said pitifully, "I was afraid that you would be cold, so I wanted to send you another blanket, but I found that you were not on the sofa... I thought you were gone."

Seeing Shen Zhao's shy look, Zhan Jiarui's heart moved, and he thought to himself, this kid must have taken a fancy to me, right?That's right, I am such a graceful, suave and suave diamond king, I can't stop how many little models pounced on him back then!Thinking of this, Zhan Jiarui couldn't help feeling a little proud. He walked over and put his hands on Shen Zhao's shoulders, and asked half seriously and half jokingly, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

Zhan Jiarui was flirtatious in the early days, and teasing had become instinctive, so the question was not really serious, but Shen Zhao was unexpectedly silent.Zhan Jiarui's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, could he really let himself guess?Zhan's mother, who was angry with him just now, was admitted to the hospital, but now she can't afford to provoke such debts!

Shen Zhao lowered his head, his face hidden in the night, and he said after a long time: "Because you are the first person who knows my past and treated me so well..."

Zhan Jiarui's hand on Shen Zhao's shoulder froze, he almost forgot that Shen Zhao used to be Lan Ye's MB!

"That..." Zhan Jiarui withdrew his hand in embarrassment, touched his nose and said, "It's getting late, I'd better go to bed first."

But before he stepped out of the balcony door, he heard Shen Zhao asking softly behind him: "Will you look down on me?"

How can you tell the truth at a time like this?Zhan Jiarui groaned secretly in his heart, but said on his mouth: "How come, you go there to make money, it is also for your own ideals!" Wanting to study abroad in art schools is not a small amount of money.

Shen Zhao shook his head, with indescribable bitterness in his voice: "I didn't go voluntarily...I was sold in."

Zhan Jiarui was taken aback, without thinking about it, he blurted out and asked, "Could it be that you were kidnapped? What about your parents?"

Shen Zhao's eyes that were still too bright in the night lightly glanced at Zhan Jiarui, then lowered his head again: "I don't have parents, I'm an orphan..."

A great man once said that happy people in this world are all alike, but unfortunate people are unhappy in their own way. This sentence could not be more suitable for Shen Zhao!Zhan Jiarui has been going smoothly all his life, and it is rare for him to turn over a wave. This is already the biggest setback he has ever encountered in his life.Compared with Shen Zhao, his depression in those years can only be regarded as hypocritical.

"I heard from the dean that I was thrown at the gate of the orphanage not long after I was born. When he found me, I was so cold that I was purple and almost died. Although I was rescued later, I also The root cause of the disease was left behind. The children in the orphanage all hoped to have a home, and so did I, so every time I heard that someone was coming, I deliberately behaved well, but I was in poor health when I was a child, and they were afraid of I have a hidden disease and dare not take me. It was not until I was five years old that I was finally adopted."

Shen Zhao leaned against the corner of the balcony, and under the protection of the night, slowly told about his life experience, "A man adopted me. He is always busy. I don't see him a few times a year. But No matter how lonely and boring life is, I am also happy because I have a family. Until my adoptive father who smells of alcohol broke into my room..."

Zhan Jiarui's eyes widened in astonishment. Although Shen Zhao hesitated to speak, he also guessed seven or eight points, but he couldn't believe it: "You mean he put you..."

Shen Zhao nodded slightly, and continued: "I only remember that he was very strong at that time, but no matter how much I cried and begged him to let me go, he ignored me. After that, I posted three days in a row I had a high fever and almost died, my adoptive father sent me to the hospital."

"Didn't the doctor see anything? How can you tolerate a beast like him living in the world!"

"They called the police, and the police came. But he took care of me those days, making me believe that he just drank too much that night, so I chose to protect him. Now that I think about it, I ruined it myself. The chance to escape from him became a total toy..."

"..." For Shen Zhao at that time, that man was his only reliance for so many years.It is expected that such a choice will be made.

"Later he went bankrupt and became addicted to gambling. He was able to win at first, but then he lost more and more. In the end, he sold all his property and it was not enough to pay off his debts. He had to sell me into Blue Night to pay his debts." Shen After Zhao finished speaking, his voice was light and light, as if he was not talking about his own affairs.

Zhan Jiarui's throat tightened, and he asked indignantly: "He asked you to pay off the debt for him, so you go? Why are you so stupid!"

"Stupid?" Shen Zhao smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have no one to rely on since I was a child, so where can I go even if I run away! Besides, I was only 14 years old that year, and I didn't even have an ID card. I have to ask your parents first? In fact, I also want to ask, where are my parents? I have been thinking since I was a child, why my parents don’t want me, why haven’t they come to me for so many years? Since they don’t want me, And why did you give birth to me?"

If time can be turned back, Zhan Jiarui would like to go back and make a loud noise about himself 5 minutes ago.
