Tattoo

htly by love, and he found life particularly interesting.

–On the other hand, Zhou Zui looked down at his phone with a smile in his eyes.
Lu Xiaobei was used to this state of his as his Brother Xiao’s strength was undeniable, and his charm value was at the max level.

“I’m talking about something, can you fiddle with your phone later?” The man sitting across the couch frowned at Zhou Zui and said impatiently, “Can you do this tattoo for me?”

Zhou Zui looked at him and withdrew the smile in his eyes before putting down his phone.
He looked at the man’s image again and smiled lightly, “I never do other people’s drawings.”

“So you can’t?” The man flicked his own drawings.
“You can charge your normal fees and I won’t even ask for a reduced design fee.
Is it still a no?”

Zhou Zui shook his head without even bothering to say anything.

Lu Xiaobei was not as calm as Zhou Zui, and he pointed to the drawing and asked, “Where did you get this drawing?”

“I found someone to design it.” The man looked at his own drawing and felt quite satisfied.
“I spent a small amount of 10,000 on this drawing.”

Lu Xiaobei asked him again, “Then why didn’t you just let us design your tattoo here?”

“I thought he was too expensive,” The man answered directly.
“He works too slow, long hours, and high hourly rates and still charges tens of thousands of dollars.
I see that your style here and theirs are close, and you are copying them quite well.
So bringing in a picture is the same.”

All kinds of people came to get tattoos with the most being younger twenty year olds.
Zhou Zui was very calm about everything so he smiled slightly and shook his head.

However, while he could listen to this, Lu Xiaobei could not.
He almost immediately stood up and blew up while saying, “No problem, the style is similar, but you’re the opposite.”

“It’s okay, I’m just a straight talker, I don’t mind.” The man sat there and asked Lu Xiaobei with a smile, “Why don’t you do it for me? I see that you are also quite good at your craft.”

“I wouldn’t do it even if you gave me ten thousand an hour,” Lu Xiaobei scoffed.
He pointed at the piece of paper.
“Just this design, my big brother got sick of this style 800 years ago.
Back then, my big brother was among the first to work on this style.
Who’s copying who? Get it right.
Don’t make a fool of yourself.”

“You mean they copied you guys?” The man also laughed,and  his face was also quite sympathetic as he looked at Lu Xiaobei.
“You know who I am talking about ah buddy? This is the design of Mr.
Feng Lei.
You are all in this business, you can’t not know Feng Lei, right? You say he copied you?”

“Feng Lei?” Lu Xiaobei snorted, and was about to say something else when Zhou Zui called him out.
“Xiaobei.”

Lu Xiaobei then withdrew his voice, took another look at the man, then turned his head before walking away.

Zhou Zui said, “Sorry, I don’t do other people’s drawings.
Also, since my price is not cheap, there are many others who are cheaper than me so try looking again.”

When Zhou Zui said this, he didn’t raise his head again, and clicked into Xiao Ke’s circle of friends to see his daily life.
He liked to post this stuff, and Zhou Zui could see Fang Xi and Old Cao commenting below with Xiao Ke replying, and it was fun to see them chatting back and forth.

“Dude you’re pretty crazy.” The guy on the other side said.

“Mn,” Zhou Zui said without looking up.
“Not that much.”

When this person left, no one noticed.
Lu Xiaobei was angry and went upstairs to draw while Zhou Zui was concentrating on Professor Xiao’s circle of friends and did not want to look up.

In the tattoo community, Feng Lei had a very important position, and was ranked first in Beijing.
Tattooers ran to Beijing to learn his art, and if he didn’t have a hundred apprentices, he had at least eighty, which was very exemplary.
His tattoo parlor was four floors and the walls were covered with photos and awards.
Last year, he won a tattoo contest in Europe and the United States.

For Lu Xiaobei, no one was allowed to say anything bad about his big brother.
If they cursed Zhou Zui, it was the same as cursing him.
As a result of this matter, Lu Xiaobei gambled for a while until Xiao Ke came but still lost face.

When Xiao Ke came in, he touched the top of his bare head.
“What’s wrong?”

Lu Xiaobei looked at him and said, “I’ll just calm myself down for a while.
Don’t worry about me, Brother Xiao.”

“Okay,” Xiao Ke smiled.
“Where’s your big brother?”

Lu Xiaobei pointed upstairs.

When Xiao Ke went upstairs, Zhou Zui was drawing something in his studio which he couldn’t see from the doorway so Xiao Ke leaned over and knocked gently on the door before calling out, “Teacher Zhou.”

Zhou Zui looked back and saw Xiao Ke, so he raised his arm as a greeting.

“What are you drawing?” Xiao Ke tilted his body to take a look, and remembered the two messages Zhou Zui had just sent back to him so he smiled and called out, “…New love.”

Zhou Zui laughed at these two words before he took a piece of drawing paper from the side to cover his drawing before he stood up and walked over.
When he walked in front of Xiao Ke, he asked, “Am I?”

Xiao Ke looked at his back and answered without hesitation, “You are, absolutely are.
I love you so much.”

His tone was actually less serious and was half-joking and half-serious as he often was.
He enjoyed teasing Zhou Zui and seeing his calm appearance falter.

Zhou Zui stood still and looked back at him, and Xiao Ke winked at him.
