Chapter 201 Why do you want to dig out your heart?
Dugu Xuejiao and the others came to the door of Ruyan's room and knocked twice, it was Dong Xue who came to open the door.

"Ah, it's my son, my lady is painting."

Dugu Xuejiao nodded and walked in.

As in the past, Dong Xue stopped Yu Xiao and the two outside again, and the three stood there, wary of each other.

Dugu Xuejiao was familiar with Ruyan's house, she turned around the screen and walked towards her small desk.

"What are you painting?"

After several times of you coming and going, now the two are already very good friends.

Although they are all cautious, it is indeed different from before.

Hearing her voice, Liu Ruyan looked up at her, with a flash of light in his eyes, and he was still holding a brush in his hand.

"I'm painting begonias, but I don't think it's good enough."

Only then did Dugu Xuejiao see that there was a white flask on her desk, and a few brightly colored crabapple flowers were inserted in it.

"Let me see."

She walked over and stood behind her to comment.

"There are indeed some deficiencies."

Liu Ruyan turned her head to look at her, her red lips curled slightly, and her eyes shone brightly.

He raised his hand and handed her the brush, "Why don't you try it?"

Although the outside world rumored that the daughter of Dugu Mansion was ignorant, Dugu Xuejiao in her eyes was omnipotent.

Although she is only a little girl, she seems to be able to do everything, and there is a lot of energy hidden in her small body.

Just like that person.

Dugu Xuejiao walked over, but did not take the brush, but directly held her hand and started to paint.

Liu Ruyan's heart stopped suddenly, panic flashed in her eyes, her whole hand was shaking, and her mind went blank.

She looked at that white and tender hand, and was very fascinated. It was obviously different, why did she feel familiar.

Someone once taught her to paint like this.

At that time, she was just a little girl.

"If this is the case, the stamens of Begonia flowers are quite special. If they are painted, they will be too full and lose their characteristics.

Use dots, which is the same as dot plums, so that the drawn stamens are more natural. "

Dugu Xuejiao took her hand, dipped in the pen and ink, and drew on the rice paper, very focused.

Just like she used to teach Xiao Ruyan.

Every time she sees Ruyan's eyes, she always regards her as that little girl who hasn't grown up.

But did not find her weird.

When she finally finished painting the stamens of the crabapple, she did not stop.

"Look, isn't it better?"

After talking for a long time, but seeing no response, he turned his head to look at Ru Yan.

The two looked at each other for a moment, flustered and stunned.

Dugu Xuejiao seemed to be scalded, she let go of her hand, and took a step back in embarrassment.

"Haha, I just forgot for a while, I didn't mean to take advantage of you."

Liu Ruyan looked at her, saw her standing there with her left foot raised, her toes pointing to the ground, her eyes narrowed again, her heart trembled slightly.

That person is also like this. Whenever he tells a lie, he likes to tap the ground with his left foot.

She turned her head hastily, put away her pen in a panic, and suppressed the trembling in her heart.

"Well, don't apologize, I should thank you, the crabapple you painted...is very good."

Only then did Dugu Xuejiao walk forward, smiling like a child.

"Really? Someone taught me that too."

Liu Ruyan looked at her, "Who taught you? Is that your third brother?"

Dugu Xuejiao was stunned, who taught her?That person once taught her how to order plums.

She turned her head and nodded perfunctorily.

Seeing her like this, Liu Ruyan's thoughts moved slightly.

"Someone taught me this before, but she's been away for so long that I almost forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me of her again."

Dugu Xuejiao was stunned, but luckily her back was facing her, and she gave a wry smile.

"Ah, that's really nice."

Liu Ruyan looked at her stiff back, carefully put away the painting, folded it into a roll, and wrapped it with silk thread.

She turned around the table, walked up to Dugu Xuejiao, and handed her the painting.

Dugu Xuejiao looked at her puzzled, "For me?"

Liu Ruyan looked at her dumbfounded look, and finally showed a smile on her face, that kind of smile from the heart.

"Well, well, I want you to help me make a skirt, according to the pattern on it."

Dugu Xuejiao: ...

Why do I feel like she's teasing me?

She gave a dry laugh and shoved the painting into her clothes embarrassingly.

"No problem, let's make a summer skirt, it will be summer soon."

Liu Ruyan nodded, and dragged her to the side table.

Dugu Xuejiao saw the little smile on her lips, and couldn't help but speak.

"Actually, you look beautiful when you smile, you should smile more."

When Liu Ruyan sat down and looked at her, the corner of her mouth was slightly bitter.

"Do you know what is the most indispensable thing in a brothel?"

Dugu Xuejiao shook her head.

Liu Ruyan handed her a cup of tea, with her head slightly lowered.

"It's just a fake smile. Fengyuechang sells laughter, so I won't smile at anyone, even if it's a perfunctory smile."

Dugu Xuejiao felt a slight pain in her heart, and patted her hand.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Liu Ruyan looked at her, smiled and shook her head.

"But in front of the person I like, I still smile."

It's just that the person I like is gone a long time ago, maybe starting today, there will be one.

Dugu Xuejiao saw the complicated look in her eyes, she felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she quickly changed the subject.

"I came to you today because I actually wanted to ask you something."

Liu Ruyan looked calm, "Is it because of the three people who died in Baihualou?"

Dugu Xuejiao nodded, "That's right, do you know what's going on?"

Liu Ruyan raised her head and looked at her deeply, with a trace of stubbornness.

"You came here just to investigate the murder case? Are you afraid that I will be hurt?"

Dugu Xuejiao was slightly stunned, and after a long while, she sighed and nodded.

"You are my friend, and I am afraid that something will happen to you."

Liu Ruyan hooked her red lips, and flashed a very faint smile.

"Thank you, I am very glad to have found a friend like you. I have been in Qiyang City for three years, and you are my first friend."

Dugu Xuejiao looked at her, her heart ached so much, she had been alone for the past three years, it must have been very hard.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Liu Ruyan continued the previous topic.

"The murderer is skilled in his modus operandi, as if killing someone is easy for him, all of them are killed with a single knife, straight to the heart."

Her voice was indifferent, as if she wasn't talking about murder, but just asking what to eat for dinner.

Seeing her calm appearance, Dugu Xuejiao thought of the last time she was injured, how she had grown so fast in these years.

She looked away without a trace, and asked again.

"Is there anyone suspicious?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head, "The murderer always commits crimes in the dead of night, and when they are discovered, it will be the next day."

Dugu Xuejiao's face was full of puzzlement, "Why do you want to dig out your heart? Could it be that the three men are ungrateful and ungrateful?"
