The woman opposite the door

In a famous university in City A, the graduation ceremony has just ended.On the huge lawn in front of the teaching building, students dressed in bachelor uniforms were still posing in groups to take pictures.

Su Meng looked out through the lens in front of him. Every young face was filled with youthful and flamboyant smiles. They looked full of vitality and a little bit of inexperienced purity.

Yes, pure, although these students have spent more than [-] years like me, they have never left the campus to set foot in the society, but I have already seen the filth and darkness in the world.

"Su Meng, come here quickly, or I won't be able to take pictures of you later."

"okay."

Su Meng came back to his senses, smiled and pressed the shutter, and then walked towards the crowd in front of the camera with long legs.

A light "click" sound occurred more than ten seconds later, and it also successfully recorded the silly expressions of several men and women who were confused by the smile and hadn't had time to remove it from their faces.

What a shame!The photos have not yet taken shape, and some people have scratched their heads and started to regret: the only opportunity to take photos with Xiaohua, who finally came from Yang, was wasted so easily!

After the group photo was finished, Su Meng went forward to collect his photography equipment, and the roommates who had been waiting beside him hurriedly rushed forward and asked, "I'm going to have lunch later, Su Meng, are you free?"

Su Meng thought for a while before agreeing. Anyway, he is not free today, and he will be alone when he goes back.

The young girls walked out laughing and making noise, cherishing the last few moments together.Walking around the auditorium, a slender figure suddenly appeared in his sight.The well-fitting high-end suit wraps the perfectly proportioned and firm torso, the corners of the clothes are flat, and the ironed and straight trouser line can be vaguely seen on the trousers, showing the rigorous and meticulous character of the person in front of him.

He turned around, and when he saw the person coming, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Meng."

Su Meng was stunned for a moment, isn't there an important meeting to be held?Before she could open her mouth to ask, the students beside her were already chattering: "Wow! What a handsome uncle!"

"Su Meng, is this your father, or your brother?!"

Dad's words seem to be too young, as for brother... Maybe his appearance is too high, making everyone's answer uncertain.

Su Meng felt bitter in his heart, Dad...has lost sight of himself forever...

"This is my uncle."

While Su Meng was talking, he naturally stepped forward to hold Shen Tingwen's left arm, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"How can I be absent on such an important day as the graduation ceremony?" Shen Tingwen lowered his head and smiled dotingly: "The restaurant has been booked, we have to celebrate."

After speaking, he turned to look at the students around Su Meng, and asked politely and distantly, "Come together, everyone?"

Since it was booked in advance, how can they have a share?The students were tactful and waved their hands in refusal: "No need, uncle, we have a few days before leaving school, so we can make an appointment with Su Meng another day."

The restaurant is in the downtown area, a bit far from the school. On the way to drive there, Su Meng couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you don't have time today?"

"What? I just wanted to surprise you..."

Shen Tingwen drove the car without looking sideways, and asked for a while, "After graduation, what are your plans for the future?"

Su Meng smiled wryly: "What else can I do, of course I want to find her as soon as possible."

Shen Tingwen's eyes flashed with unknown emotions, and he responded in a low voice.There was a brief silence in the carriage, until the next intersection was "intercepted" by a red light, Shen Tingwen turned to look at Su Meng: "How is the work arrangement? Or," he deliberately paused, before continuing: "First Come to my company?"

"No, I've already found it." Su Meng answered quickly, almost without thinking.

Shen Tingwen felt a little disappointed on his face, and smiled to himself: "Then it's up to you."

After eating, he drove back. Su Meng looked down at his phone and didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scenes. When he arrived at his destination, he opened the door and got off the car, only to find that it was not the school dormitory or the house that Shen Tingwen helped her rent outside the school. He was not even familiar with it. .

"Where is this?" Su Meng raised his head in doubt, and asked Shen Tingwen who followed him.

"You'll find out after a while."

He pretended to be mysterious, but it really aroused Su Meng's curiosity.While walking and looking carefully, I found that although the neighborhood is a little run-down, but the greenery is excellent, and it is a small high-rise that is especially rare in recent years. I think the price should not be low whether it is renting or buying.

Shen Tingwen led Su Meng into one of the buildings, took the elevator and stopped on the sixth floor.There are two households on the first floor, Shen Tingwen took out the key from his suit pocket, handed it to Su Meng, and pointed to the brand new metal door in front of him: "Open it and have a look."

Su Meng did as he said, and when he saw the opened door and the newly renovated house, his eyes widened again in confusion.Before she could ask this time, Shen Tingwen said first: "The rented house outside the school is too simple, let's live here from now on."

Su Meng subconsciously refused: "No need..."

"Why are you being polite to me? Treat it as a graduation gift."

"Well done, how can I accept such an expensive gift from you?" Su Meng frowned.Even if it's just an old community, with such an area plus decoration, it won't cost less than a million.

Shen Tingwen didn't take it seriously: "Everyone takes what they need. If you live here, it's convenient for me to come over."

With a simple and neat sentence, it successfully blocked Su Meng's unspoken refusal.

"Okay. I'll keep that in mind."

Every time after accepting his gift -- whether it was money or anything else, Su Meng would always say this with a little helplessness.Will remember what, his good?Or how much do you owe him?For so many years, Shen Ting couldn't understand it, or maybe he was just too lazy to investigate.

After sending Shen Tingwen away, Su Meng sat on the sofa and looked at his new house quietly.

The simple and elegant gray and white tones, and the modern decoration style are not so much her own preference, but more like a way to let her see how much she has been influenced by him in recent years.

Taking a cursory look, there are all kinds of furniture and daily necessities, which is really in line with Shen Tingwen's usual style.Being able to check in without carrying a bag also made Su Meng a lot easier.Even the wine cabinet in the living room was not empty, there were several bottles of wine.Perhaps it was because he often drank heavily in front of Shen Tingwen that he thought he was addicted to alcohol?In fact, she doesn't like drinking, but just likes the sense of chaos after her nerves are paralyzed by alcohol-no happiness, but no pain.

The day of leaving school came as scheduled, and I still found time to eat the interrupted meal. After packing up the simple luggage in the dormitory, Su Meng bid farewell to the campus and all his classmates, and took a taxi back to his new home.

As soon as she put the suitcase away, she drank a glass of water and was about to sit on the sofa to take a rest, when there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a soft and crisp voice: "Mom, Mom!"

Su Meng shuddered and bounced off the sofa in an instant.When she came back to her senses, Zao Jie ran over with her slippers and opened the door.

Sure enough, there was a five or six-year-old girl knocking on the door, but it was not her room, but the opposite one.

When the little girl heard the door opening behind her, she turned her head and glanced at Su Meng.

In all fairness, the little girl in front of me was really pretty, with fair skin and red cheeks, like a freshly ripe red apple hanging on the branch, tempting Su Meng to take a bite every now and then.Her eyes are big and bright, rolling around like glass marbles, with a child's unique innocence and a little curiosity.

Su Meng's heart skipped a beat: If she is still...

While thoughts were wandering, the little girl's delicate voice came over first.

"Sister, I'm sorry." She said, her voice a little timid.

"Huh?" Su Meng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the words were addressed to her.

"Why do you say sorry?"

Su Meng bent over and leaned over without intention, but his tone was much softer than usual.

"Because I disturbed you, I want to apologize to you."

Su Meng looked blank: "But you didn't bother me."

"Why didn't you open the door and come out?"

The little girl tilted her head to look at her, blinking her eyes, two small twisted braids hanging from her ears and falling on her chest, serious and cute.

Su Meng was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it, just as he was about to explain, the door to the opposite room suddenly opened, and a young woman came out, lowering her head and asking softly, "Did you forget your key again?"

"Mom," the little girl smiled coquettishly and threw herself into her arms, a little embarrassed.

"I went downstairs to take out the garbage, and when I came back, I found the door was closed by the wind. I touched my neck and found that I didn't have the key."

The woman who just appeared reached out and pinched her small nose with a smile: "You little fool, you suffered a loss this time, let's see if you have a long memory next time."

Su Meng was listening on the side, showing dissatisfaction, and couldn't help but say something: "The parents are really big-hearted when such a young child is ordered to work!"

The person who was making out with his daughter as if no one was around was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that there was a third person in the corridor.

"Excuse me, may I ask who you are?"

"Mom," Little Routuan tugged on her cuff, "This sister lives across from us."

Yi Qingxuan understood what she said, and smiled and extended her hand to Su Meng: "The decoration was completed a few days ago, and I said, why haven't I seen anyone living in it. Hello, my name is Yi Qingxuan, this is My daughter Yi Ran lives across from you."

"Flammable?" How could someone choose such a strange name for their daughter? Would it be called Explosive if they had another one in the future?

"Hehe, it's not Ran, it's Ran Ran."

Yi Qingxuan is not surprised, she has explained it no less than a hundred times since she had Xiaoroutuan.

"Ah? Oh." Su Meng, who had a small oolong, was also a little embarrassed, shook hands with her awkwardly, and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Su Meng."

Yi Qingxuan was about to speak with a smile, but Su Meng changed her tone and said unceremoniously: "Miss Yi, your daughter is still so young, I don't think you should order her to do things and go out without an adult. This is too dangerous!"

"No, Miss Su, you misunderstood..."

Before Yi Qingxuan finished speaking, the little meatball beside him quit.

"Sister, don't talk about my mother. She is sick and uncomfortable. I went out to take out the trash by myself while she was sleeping."

Uh... Are you thinking too much again?

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Su Meng has always maintained this habit.

Yi Qingxuan smiled: "It's okay, Miss Su is right, I will take good care of Little Routuan in the future and not let her run around by herself."

The little girl pouted when she heard the words: "But what should I do if I want to help my mother? Mom is so tired every day."

"Well... you can help your mother when she is working, but you can't do it alone, you know? Otherwise, if you are injured or in danger, mother will feel distressed. You want to make mother feel distressed ?"

"I don't want to!" Little Routuan didn't think about it, Yi Qingxuan nodded in satisfaction, smiled and kissed her on the face: "Good boy."

Su Meng watched the warm interaction between the mother and daughter, feeling bitter and astringent in his heart, he forced himself to smile and say goodbye.

"I just moved here, well, there are still a lot of things that haven't been packed, let's talk about it another day."

Upon hearing this, Yi Qingxuan took Xiao Routuan's hand and took a step forward: "Do you need help?"

"Oh no, thank you."

Yi Qingxuan smiled, and shook her daughter's hand again, Xiao Routuan understood, raised her head and smiled sweetly at Su Meng: "Goodbye, sister!"
