It was ten o'clock when Qiao Nian returned to the Summer Palace. A car was parked in the yard. She knew that Xi Moting had returned.

There was no light on the first floor, presumably Li Yan had already returned to the room to sleep, and Qiao Nian stepped up to the second floor.

The entire hallway was lit, and she went straight to her room. As soon as she reached the door, the door to the bedroom opposite was suddenly opened. The man with slightly wet hair came out wearing a bathrobe, and it looked like he had just taken a shower.

"You're back!" Qiao Nian greeted him a few seconds later.

Xi Moting gave her a glance, originally intended to go downstairs to drink water, but stopped when she saw the bruise on her arm.

"The bar is not the place for you. You are still a student and you should focus on your studies!" This is his advice.

Qiao Nian hesitated. If she wasn't sure before, she can be sure now. The figure she saw in the bar was him, and Lu Shaoqing came out of his private room. It turned out that Lu Shaoqing didn't show up for no reason.

The thought of Qiao Nian feeling a little uncomfortable here, he saw the embarrassing picture of her being entangled.

"I'm just a waiter there!" She looked up at him.

I don't know why, she thought his eyes were a bit harsh, as if looking at a child, and she was also a disobedient bad girl.

"If you are short of money, you can go to Li Yan to take it!" Xi Moting looked at her and said, looking away from her pale face, and there was a five-fingerprint on her arm that was already very white, which seemed a little shocking.

Qiao Nian bowed her head, and his words made her face the inequality between them for the first time.

Thinking back to these days, she tried hard to be generous in front of him, but everything was easily lost to money.

Money is really a good thing, because no money makes him see her embarrassment.

"Will you look down on me!" She looked up at him without shame in her eyes, all frank.

Xi Moting looked at her overly straightforward and stubborn eyes. The girl in front of her was really too young, so young that it made people feel pity.

"My opinion is not important, what is important is that the girls should protect themselves!" This was his last advice to her.

Qiao Nian looked at the back of him downstairs, and he was slightly drowsy, did he care about her ...

The sun rises the next day, and life goes on.

In the small attic of the villa, there are some pictures brought by Qiao Nian.

Xi Moting said that she should focus on her studies. She did not forget that she was an art student. However, it is a luxury to expect to become an artist after graduation. First of all, she must support herself.

The two paintings stacked against the wall were her award-winning works at the school art exhibition. Qiao Nian gently tore off the cloth covered and put them into a cloth bag.

Out of the house, she took a taxi to the place where Xia Bing came.

It is a relatively quiet and elegant street surrounded by bookstores and coffee houses. The street is clean and tidy, and pink flowers are planted on both sides.

Qiao Nian stopped in front of a gallery called Yunhua. This is where Xia Bing's summer vacation internship took place. She said that in September there will be a thousand-person art exhibition. Anyone's work can participate. If you are lucky, you may also be caught. Someone bought it.

"My dear, you are finally here!" Xia Bing saw Qiao Nian standing at the door and ran out to greet him immediately.

In fact, it wasn't long before the summer vacation, but I still miss her.
