Chapter 646: In short, stay away from her
"Do you go to art galleries often?" Gu Chaoxi looked up at Du Yuzhao with a little confusion in his eyes.
Perhaps because he felt that Gu Chaoxi was easy to talk to and was good at wood carving, Du Yuzhao had a relaxed look on his face and nodded when he looked at her.
“Well, sometimes when I get tired of wood carving, I go to the art gallery to relax.”
"Wow, your way of relaxing is so unique." She lowered her head in surprise, scratching the wood with the file again: "Unlike me, I have to come here specially to see it. I envy locals like you."
"Not really. I'm not really a local." Du Yuzhao shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking of.
Gu Chaoxi tilted his head but didn't ask.
Pei Yan leaned forward and looked at Du Yuzhao: "Since you have a wood carving shop, we thought you were a local."
"No." Du Yuzhao smiled bitterly.
He came here when he was very young for school reasons, and later he lived here permanently.
But in fact, I didn't study for very long because of changes in my family.
This wood carving shop has been open for a long time, since his parents' time. Later, his parents passed away, leaving Du Yuzhao alone, but he still insisted on running the shop.
Du Yuzhao often went to that art gallery when he was young, and the paintings inside were always changing.
So, he likes to go there very much. Every time he goes there again after a long period of absence, he will gain new insights.
"Did you encounter anything unhappy in the art museum today?" Gu Chaoxi asked this question suddenly without any sign.
Du Yuzhao blurted out without paying attention: "No, I just saw someone I don't like very much."
"Who?"
"Uh?" He suddenly reacted and looked at Gu Chaoxi in surprise, not knowing whether he should answer for a moment.
However, Gu Chaoxi was not in a hurry to force for the result. After all, if Du Yuzhao really didn't want to say it, there was no point in forcing him.
So she just kept her head down and continued carving with the file, as if the question she just asked was just a casual one.
Even Pei Yan, who was helping out on the side, was just carving quietly at this time.
No one else looked up at him.
After a moment of silence, Du Yuzhao finally calmed down. Perhaps this stranger was just casually expressing his concern for him without any intention of achieving any result.
So he thought about it and told the story slowly.
"A girl who I think is a little crazy, although she has done nothing wrong."
He went to the art museum quite early this morning, because sometimes if you go earlier, you can stay in front of your favorite paintings.
In addition, the art museum had received a batch of new paintings two days ago and was about to start a three-day event, so he wanted to go and see if he could try his luck and see the new paintings.
However, the paintings have not yet been exhibited and will have to wait until tomorrow.
So, he went to the paintings he liked and admired them quietly.
Sometimes he is not in a very good mood, but looking at paintings can help him calm down. When he is calm, it is also suitable for thinking about the answers to some questions.
But that woman also came today. To be honest, Du Yuzhao was not sure whether this person was so hostile to everyone, or just to him.
He ignored the woman, but she walked towards him.
"Hehe, you're pretending again." Every time, almost every time.
The woman's name is Shen Liao, a nurse in the hospital.
It’s not really accurate to call her a caregiver, probably because her mental state is not very good. Sometimes she is not working in the hospital, but wandering around.
When she said that, Du Yuzhao had already started to keep his distance from her.
But Shen Liao didn't want to let him go. When he saw him about to leave, he immediately went over to block his way.
"Du Yuzhao, why are you pretending? Aren't you tired of pretending like this every day?"
"If I were you, I would just die. Why would I hide my guilt in my heart and look at the paintings and feel sad every day?"
"Tell me, am I right?"
Sometimes Du Yuzhao really didn’t know what to say, he just felt it was a bit outrageous.
He frowned and tried to avoid Shen Liao, but she pulled him back by his sleeve: "Why are you running?"
"If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Why are you hiding when you see me?"
"Could I eat you?"
Shen Liao said this and burst into laughter.
Sometimes, Du Yuzhao is indeed not a good speaker.
Faced with the slightly crazy Shen Liao, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
What's more, many of the people in the art museum these two days are outsiders, and they don't know any of the local residents at all.
He was afraid that others would misunderstand him, but this matter could not be explained clearly in just a few words.
He was so scared that he could only quickly push Shen Liao away and ran downstairs. Because of this, he accidentally bumped into Gu Chaoxi.
But at that time he was worried that Shen Liao would catch up with him, so he left immediately.
After saying this, Du Yuzhao's guilt for bumping into someone finally subsided.
"Shen Liao." Gu Chaoxi whispered the name and turned his head.
"Do many of you here know that she is mentally ill?"
Because Zhou Jie's expression at that time seemed that he was a little afraid to talk about Du Yuzhao, but it seemed that there was nothing about Du Yuzhao himself that was not suitable for people to mention.
Otherwise, the girl in the art museum would not have directly said Du Yuzhao's name.
Sure enough, Du Yuzhao nodded: "Almost everyone here knows her, but people don't like to mention her on weekdays."
Shen Liao likes to go crazy sometimes, the kind of madness that makes people not know how to deal with it.
Therefore, many people don't want to have any relationship with Shen Liao.
Gu Zhaoxi pursed her lips and smiled at Du Yuzhao: "What does she look like? I'd better avoid her. I want to go to the art museum in the next two days."
After hearing this, Du Yuzhao did not doubt it. After all, there were indeed activities in the art museum in the next two days.
"I always like to braid my hair into a pigtail in front of me if I have short hair, but the hair in the front is very messy and it kind of blocks my eyes."
"When she looks at people, she likes to half-squint her eyes, as if she is testing your heart."
"Anyway, stay away from her."
Du Yuzhao pulled himself out of his memories and couldn't help shivering.
Even thinking of this person would make him shiver uncontrollably, which shows that the psychological shadow he has cast on him is quite large.
Gu Chaoxi didn't ask any more questions and looked at the semi-finished product in his hand.
Her speed was quite fast. The wood here was very suitable for wood carving and it was easy to use the file.
"I'm having trouble fixing it, can you help me?" She handed the thing in her hand to Du Yuzhao.
"You have to hold back a little."
