Chapter 100

Tao Zi was still happy, but when she saw the Dragon embroidered on the pillow, her face immediately changed.

"What do you mean?" she said to the little dragon.

Of course, Liang Yi also saw the change of Tao Zi's face. He held his breath and asked in a low voice, "don't you like this symbol?"

"Who said I liked it?"

"Then on your back..."

"It's not what you think!"

Tao Zi suddenly interrupted him and said stiffly, "that's not what I want, it's not what I want! You're wrong!"

"Well, can you tell me its origin?"

In fact, Liang Yi has always been curious about this problem. He has investigated it in many ways. First, he is vague. He only knows that Aiken "gave" her the dragon, but how did he give it? Under what circumstances? Liang Yi doesn't know.

In Liang Yi's view, it is like a mystery or a strange totem, which has puzzled him until now.

Tao Zi looked out of the window. At this time, the car had left the Jinhu bay villa area and merged into the Che river of the main road of the city.

Under the sky outside the window, there are countless tall buildings, like a vast forest.

It's just that the forest is a little cold and less angry. If you are in it, you will inevitably feel suffocated.

After a long silence, Tao Zi finally asked, "have you ever tasted poverty?"

Liang Yi was stunned by this sentence. He frowned and looked at Tao Zi, feeling a little strange.

"The taste of poverty"?

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the dragon, does it?

He shook his head and told the truth: "when I was a child, my father worked hard in the business world, which was also a small achievement. Later, my mother made some money in stocks, and my family was not short of money. From small to large... It seems that I haven't tasted this taste."

"I've tasted it." Tao Zi saw that the car stopped at the intersection. Her eyes gradually became confused. She sighed and said, "when I was the poorest, I should be a freshman in college. At that time, I foolishly fell in love with a senior student - the Aiken you once met - who taught me how to play rock and roll, how to write music and how to write lyrics.

"At that time, my father was always controlled by that woman and rarely sent me money. My living expenses were earned by singing with others.

"I can still remember how much each accompaniment cost: it's only 50 when it's more, and it's normal in 30 or 20.

"And this kind of work doesn't often happen. It only happens four or five times a week at most.

"At that time, I had to save on instant noodles. At the worst, I ate only one steamed bread with a cup of boiled water at every meal.

"People like you can't think of that kind of taste at all - just count the money in your pocket and save even a dollar for fear that you can't afford a steamed bread for the next meal.

"At that time, some people said that I was a beggar with a golden rice bowl. With my appearance, I could have a better life.

"In those days... There were always rows of luxury cars parked at the gate of our school. Drinks were placed on the roof. Each kind of drink represented different values: Iced Black tea should be 500 and coke 700. It seemed that the most expensive was pulsation and 1000.

"As long as the girl in the university takes the drink on the roof, it means that she agrees to the price, so she will sit directly in the car and let the obscene men take it to the hotel and do that.

"Fortunately, I had Aiken at that time. I believe that the value of love is much more valuable than those drinks, so I didn't seriously look at the drinks on the roof at the most difficult time."

As she said this, Tao Zi smiled at herself: "I'm not telling you how pure and noble I am - in fact, I want to say that I really thank Aiken for making me so persistent in love.

"If I hadn't had him at that time, I might not have been able to survive. I would really go to get the drink on the roof. I would really degenerate and be doomed."

Liang Yi listened to him, nodded expressionless, and asked, "what happened later?"

"Later..." Tao Zi sighed and continued: "later, Aiken wanted to form a band, but it also needed money to form a band.

"Just an electronic guitar costs tens of thousands. He's just a poor student and can't raise so much money. Aiken is so crazy that he won't listen to anyone - he almost sold his kidney for this.

"At that time, I did everything for him except taking drinks on the roof. I distributed leaflets in the street, posted small advertisements door to door, and even worked as a model in an art academy."

Speaking of this, Tao Zi deliberately declared: "don't get me wrong. I'm not a model. I wear clothes."

Liang Yi looked at each other's clear and pure eyes and couldn't help smiling and nodding: "well, yes, I didn't misunderstand."

"The dragon on my back was tattooed by a teacher from the Academy of fine arts." Tao Zi said, "at that time, the teacher didn't mix well in the Academy of fine arts. She taught traditional art. Few people took this subject. Later, someone dug her to the tattoo shop. She agreed without thinking about it.

"But at that time, people wanted a tattoo she had done, and she had never tattooed anyone before. She wanted to experiment with our models and offered us a high price of 10000 yuan.

"None of our models would accept this task. Whether she tattooed well or not, once it was tattooed on her body, she could not wash it all her life. Even if there were tattoos, it could not be cleaned in such a large area. We are not mixed society. Who would like to have such a thing on her body?

"Later, I finally agreed. For Aiken and the band he wanted to form, the Dragon appeared on my back and stayed there forever..."

Liang Yi turned his head and looked at the back of her neck. There was a small flame - it was spitting out of the dragon's mouth.

"Do you think... It's your shame?"

"Almost," Tao Zi said after thinking for a while, "I think it's a sign of my stupidity. I sold my body for that scum - only ten thousand yuan!"

She turned her head again, smiled at Liang Yi and asked, "do you think I'm stupid?"

Liang Yi looked at the front of the window like a freeze frame, as if he was seriously thinking about something. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "no, I don't think you're stupid.

"There is nothing wrong with you to love someone wholeheartedly. If it were me, I would do the same!"

"Would you do the same?" Tao Zi was surprised.

"Yes, I will." Liang Yi looked at Tao Zi affectionately: "even if you let me give up my life, I am willing. Besides, it's just a tattoo. For me, it's nothing at all."

"Don't be glib, will you?" Tao Zi's face turned red again. "That's what your men love to say. I've heard enough of it!"

"What I said is true!"

"But I don't believe it!"

……

When she arrived at the Ruihe shopping center on Huaxi Road, Liang Yi took Tao Zi to the women's international famous brand store on the seventh floor and chose several sets of happy clothes with brighter colors for her.

Tao Zi changed into a girl's light pink long sleeved jumpsuit and tied her hair into a horsetail. She suddenly looked several years younger.

Walking in the mall, she and Liang Yi are equally bright and radiant. They are just a pair of golden girls and virgins, which has attracted many admiring eyes.

Before ten o'clock, Tao Zi was too hungry to walk. The two got on the elevator and came to the western restaurant on the top floor of the commercial building. Liang Yi chose a position near the window. A gentleman opened Tao Zi's chair first and asked her to sit down first.

Tao Zi looked at the menu handed over by Liang Yi and saw that the cheapest Luzon soup above cost two or three hundred, and a black pepper steak cost seven or eight hundred, which made her dizzy.

Isn't it obvious to rob money?

No matter how delicious it is, it's not worth such a high price, is it?

Although Tao Zi's bag is full now, she doesn't have the habit of getting rich at first. She doesn't eat and drink and sprinkle money everywhere. She hasn't changed much from before.

So now she looked at the menu and was a little uneasy: "the things here are too expensive. Why don't we change them?"

"Then the clothes you just bought are not expensive. Only a few pieces, more than 100000?" Liang Yi whispered, "I can't bear to have a meal?"

"Can eating be the same as wearing? I can just fill my stomach with food, but I can show others what to wear." Tao Zi still can't really be reborn. She is always a little woman with vanity.

"For people to see? It's not for me?" Liang Yichong asked with a smile, and then called the waiter to order.

Tao Zi saw that Liang Yi ordered all the signature dishes here, which were also the most expensive. Looking at the meals brought up by the waiter, she suddenly felt a little emotion: "this meal is about to catch up with my expenses for half a year when I was in college."

Liang Yi cut the steak into small pieces, politely put it in front of her, smiled faintly and said, "don't worry, from now on, I will never let you taste the taste of poverty."
