Survival

sixteen

After he put on his clothes, he tidied up the sheets, and when he turned his head, he saw a painting, a moth, which was different from other paintings, which were all hung in the studio, but this one was in the master bedroom.

This moth has a story.

Perhaps not only moths have stories, but all people have stories, but they are not their own stories so they ignore them calmly. It is human instinct to value their own stories and ignore other people's stories.

They only feel that they are the most pitiful, and there are many stories, they just listen to it.

Yu Sheng came out, and she said to him like a normal person, "Go to work today?"

"Well, there is a meeting."

"Wear a scarf."

Xiao Chengyi realized that his ears turned red. He only had suits at home, so he had to buy a coat after going out.

He chose a coat that was exactly ten centimeters below the knee, the same length as Yusheng.

It won't be too strange to wear a scarf like this.

Yu Sheng was bored anyway, so she brought back all the paintings she drew at Xiao Chengyi's house, except for the one she promised to give to him.

The sum of these is not enough to open a painting exhibition, I have to sign a contract tomorrow, and I need more paintings for the rest of my life.

Today, Yu Sheng went to many places, and drew a picture when he went to a place. Even though it took a lot of time, he still drew a lot of pictures.

In the evening, Yu Sheng arrived at Xiao Chengyi's house with two takeaways.

"Xiao Chengyi, it's time to eat."

Xiao Chengyi probably slept for a while, didn't even eat dinner, and has been sleeping until now.

He sat up half awake, and then stood up for a while.

After eating, Yu Sheng pushed the bowl in front of Xiao Chengyi, he sighed, picked it up, and took it to the kitchen.

Yu Sheng followed behind him, "I have to sign a contract tomorrow, and I will find you after signing?"

Xiao Chengyi snorted, and he had no choice but to pray that he would not meet Mr. Shi for the rest of his life.

"Are you going home?"

Yu Sheng lay on the sofa, closed his eyes, "Sleep here."

In fact, she can't sleep at all, she can even continue painting, and it's not a problem for three days without a break, but she's tired.

"Come up and sleep."

"That's a single bed for you."

Xiao Chengyi cleared his throat, "I sleep on the sofa."

Yu Sheng turned sideways to face the back wall of the sofa, her breath breathing on the leather sofa.

"I don't need to sleep."

Xiao Chengyi squatted down, "Then you sleep on the sofa in my room, it's cold here."

In many cases, it's not that Yu Sheng is thin-skinned, it's that she doesn't want to refuse.

Yu Sheng did lie on the sofa in the master bedroom that night, and until midnight, she felt a warmth sticking to her back.

She was still conscious, but she didn't get up or turn around.

It was almost dawn, and Yu Sheng wanted to get up, but there was not enough space, and she didn't want to wake Xiao Chengyi up.

She got up slowly and put the quilt on Xiao Chengyi's body, only then did she know that he didn't even pick up her quilt to keep herself cold all night.

Yu Sheng went downstairs, and in the study she felt the warmth of the sun shining on the glass and then on the skin, which was both cold and warm.

Xiao Chengyi went downstairs, it was indeed time for him to get up.

"It's better to squeeze into a single bed in the future."

Xiao Chengyi stood beside Yu Sheng, "Okay."

"I have to go to the lawyer's office early today, I have something to do."

Yu Sheng turned to face him and said, "Will it bother you?"

"Will not."

Yu Sheng turned to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and picked up a box of biscuits.

It's the box that I haven't eaten for the rest of my life.

Xiao Chengyi saw Yu Sheng eating cold biscuits one by one, and he took the biscuits from her hand.

"I'll make you breakfast."

In fact, Yu Sheng has long been used to it. She didn't even bother to heat up the leftovers and ate them directly. She didn't care whether the food was hard or soft, hot or cold, it was all the same anyway.

But the man was clearly concerned about her health.

Yusheng is only slightly lactose intolerant, so she can eat biscuits, even if she eats a lot, the worst result is diarrhea.

But Yu Sheng likes to eat biscuits, she finds it convenient.

Xiao Chengyi brought two plates to the dining table, "I'm afraid you can't eat eggs, so I won't cook them."

"I can eat eggs, I'm not allergic to eggs."

The breakfast in front of her was light enough, just a sandwich with only vegetables, sauces and bread.

She couldn't drink milk, so he substituted orange juice.

Yu Sheng finished eating without being picky, "Even if I can't eat or drink, you can still eat what you want."

Xiao Chengyi smiled and said it's okay, this seems to be a sentence he said to her most often, and he also had the same smile.

"Okay, hurry up and get ready, don't make people wait too long."

Xiao Chengyi still washed the dishes before going upstairs to change clothes.

Yu Sheng left before Xiao Chengyi went downstairs.

"When is the exhibition going to be held?"

The person opposite closed the contract, "In about two months, I have to give you some time to paint, don't I?"

When Yu Sheng saw that the woman was smiling, she twitched the corners of her mouth.

"I will contact you if there is anything, you can send me a text message if you have anything."

"Okay, Miss Yu Sheng, have you thought about the theme of your art exhibition yet?"

Yu Sheng nodded, put a few hundred yuan on the table, got up and left.

She drove to Xiao Chengyi's law firm, and when the counter lady saw Yu Sheng, she began to wonder why she was still there.

"Miss Yu, our boss has customers."

Yu Sheng nodded and went to the bathroom. She had thought that everyone in this law firm would keep to themselves, but she didn't expect that there would still be some gossip characteristics.

But that might just be an occasional thing.

"You said the boss has been wearing a scarf these two days, is there something wrong?"

The other voice turned out to be a man, "Which woman, but although our boss is not bad, but his personality is old-fashioned, no way."

"And our boss wants to take three weeks off, thank goodness for that."

"Have Mr. Shi's documents been processed? Even if the boss asks for leave, it won't be our turn, okay?"

The sound became smaller and smaller, Yu Sheng walked out of the bathroom after washing his hands.

In Xiao Chengyi's office, Xiao Chengyi was congratulating Mr. Shi, "Congratulations on being the boss of the club."

"Hey, don't say that, there are too many enemies after who let him come out."

In fact, isn't that enemy himself? At first, Xiao Cheng was conflicted about why Mr. Shi wanted to help him with the lawsuit. Obviously, Mr. Shi would become the boss if he was imprisoned.

When Mr. Shi asked, he understood.Mr. Shi wanted to find a lawyer to help him deal with underworld affairs, and a lawyer like Xiao Chengyi best met his requirements, so he was just testing Xiao Chengyi's ability.

"Okay, come out for dinner when you have time."

"Fart high, open the door."

Not long after Yu Sheng stood in the hall, she saw a few people coming out of the corridor. She didn't recognize the one in the lead, but she had seen the one behind.

Yu Sheng didn't pay much attention to it, she walked straight into the corridor, inevitably passing each other, none of them cared who the other was, and didn't even glance at them.

"knocking"

This time she didn't hear the sound coming in, but the glass door was opened directly, "Come in."

He turned sideways to let Yu Sheng enter.

"Are you still busy?"

"It's okay, you just came?" In fact, no matter when she came, she must have met Mr. Shi.

Yu Sheng sat on her usual chair, "It's okay."

"I have to go back to England in two days."

Xiao Chengyi just remembered that a few days had passed, "Okay."

"It's okay if you're busy."

Xiao Chengyi laughed, "I'm busy, I'll be fine in a week."

It's not that he doesn't want to change the itinerary, and it's not that he doesn't want to put all his work on these two days, but that he can't change Mr. Shi's itinerary.

The past two days have been the same as usual for them, except that they are squeezed into a single bed at night.

She didn't want to go home, she wouldn't even know Monday and Friday that way.

Xiao Chengyi sent Yu Sheng to the airport, and he didn't leave until Yu Sheng was out of his sight.

They don't have too much language, let alone too many body movements, they just simply send each other away.

After Yu Sheng arrived in England, it was already dawn there, so she didn't go there, she went directly to the cemetery.

"Sister, sorry for missing this year."

"When I was 14, you told me that when I have a man who can accompany me, I must tell you the first time."

"If there is next year, I will come with him."

Yu Sheng still put a lot of food on the ground as before, which was her sister's favorite food.

She stayed there until the rest of her life at dusk sat and watched a sunset before leaving. She often watched the sunrise but basically never watched the sunset. The sunset is sad, but the hope of dawn.But she didn't know when it started, she slowly accepted the sunset.

As soon as I got home, I saw my parents and my mother sitting in the living room, and there was a boy who was less than ten years old.

Yu Sheng was not surprised that the boy would be here, after all, he was Mother Yu's nephew.Either way, it's better to be here than to follow yourself.

"Mom, I'm back."

Mother Yu looked up and continued to flip through her phone to read the news.

I didn't care about it for the rest of my life, I was used to it.

"I'll be leaving in two days."

Only then did Father Yu say, "I'll take you to a banquet tomorrow."

Yu Sheng usually doesn't go to this kind of banquet, and Yu's father and mother don't let her go, but when she becomes famous overnight, they will definitely bring Yu Sheng with them as long as there is a banquet.

She just followed their wishes, as long as they were happy anyway.That vanity is the greatest joy of Yu's father and Yu's mother, or every parent's greatest joy.

Yu Sheng will never forget that for her parents, the one who honors her is a filial daughter, and now she has achieved it or not.

There are always a few rude people at the banquet, especially the wives of the nouveau riche.

"Yu Sheng, when are you going to find a boyfriend and come back? You are too old, and now no one wants a second marriage, right? Why did you get a good divorce back then?"

Yu Sheng chuckled, and half a minute later she said: "Thank you for your concern, but I remember that your husband had two divorced wives before you. If this is the case, I'm afraid no one will want it?"
