[Tutor] The Heart of Dwelling Myself

"Why is there an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks?"

Looking at the empty bowl and neatly arranged chopsticks on the dining table, Ling sighed helplessly again.He tilted his head and saw the apologetic smile on his sister's face again, and hurriedly put the extra bowls and chopsticks back into the cupboard.

"Why did I forget again..." Qianqiu pretended to be confused and knocked on the head, then turned around and brought the soup to the table.

This is the first time... Ling muttered in his mouth and smashed the rice in the bowl with chopsticks. The aroma of rice and the rising water smoke eased the embarrassment at the moment.

Obviously that guy has been away for several days, but sometimes my sister will habitually put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and the meal will be cooked for one more person.Every time the next day, he could only eat the rice balls made from the leftover rice... Ling bit the chopsticks in his mouth dissatisfied, but stared blankly at the empty seat.

Although the atmosphere is very good now, with Mi Xiu, Xiaoxue from Grandma Sophia's house, and a sister who can cook-everything is warm like a dream.The surrounding environment was also completely cleaned up by that guy, Skylark, and there was no potential safety hazard.However, I still feel something is missing.

It seems that there is something missing from the guy who is so righteous and sarcastic.My sister is also often absent-minded, and even stares at Mi Xiu in a daze, forgetting to cook the soup on the stove, and sometimes shuts herself in the room without saying a word.But he couldn't complain about something—where was it empty? ... Do I have to get used to such a peaceful life?

"What's wrong? Is today's dish not to your liking?"

"No." Ling looked at Qianqiu who had doubts in his eyes, lowered his head and put the rice into his mouth.

"By the way, Ling, can I ask you to take care of Grandma Sophia today? ... The pet shop is about to reopen. I don't think we can continue to live on the assistance of others. If we want to start living independently again, we still need to have some savings. It's okay...Ling is too, and I have to finish college." Qianqiu sighed, holding the hot soup bowl and looking a little worried.

Before this, the savings saved by opening a store were not much, and since then, he has been living in Mr. Skylark's mansion without worrying about life problems, but now he can no longer rely on them to make a living.The money in Cary is not enough to support Ling's college expenses. One person's life has become two people, and the unfamiliar place can't let Ling work and study. You can't leave Italy until you feel better.

Even if it's just a temporary business, it's better than just sitting around and wasting money.Fortunately, this store has been kept under Mr. Skylark's order, and there is no problem of being bought by other merchants.But just for this point, Qianqiu's guilt towards Mr. Skylark deepened.Just seeing this familiar store, she could think of Mr. Skylark, and she couldn't get it out of her mind.

"Eh—Actually, I can go to work directly..."

"no!"

Qian Qiu slammed his chopsticks on the table with a sullen face, looking a little sullen.

"In short...Grandma Sophia just finished her operation in the past two days. I'm afraid that something might happen. You go and watch it first. I'll come right after I finish handling the matter." After explaining some important things, Qianqiu came out After entering the door, only Ling, who was eating slowly, was left behind.

It doesn't take too long to walk from this apartment to the shopping street. After all, it was opened here precisely because of the needs of the residents. On the way, Qianqiu passed the square in the middle of the street again.The melodious bells still echoed in the church, and the choir's chants were faintly heard.She subconsciously bowed respectfully to the church, and suddenly became dazed.

It seems that she has not prayed to God for a long time, and this church is her psychological support.Solace was found in these even-sounding prayers and the prayers of a loving priest.But such days seem to have become very far away.

——It seems that such a belief is no longer needed.

Qianqiu frowned slightly, but Yunque's face slid across her mind.

It seemed that that person had become her psychological support.Compared with the imaginary god, the person who is high but close at hand is more like an existence that can be relied on.Whether you are happy, angry, sad or happy, you are quietly by your side—mysterious enough, powerful enough...and gentle enough.

Qian Qiu held the key in his hand, shook his head, hoping to drive these messy thoughts out of his mind.She wiped the door of the store, and it was as clean as if she had never left, and the sunflowers that had been placed in front of the store were now growing vigorously, thinking that they would bloom brilliantly in summer.

Not long after Qianqiu entered the store to tidy up, people from the neighboring store gathered in twos and threes to express their welcome to her.

"Qianqiu is finally back...? That's great, my Miu Miu almost misses you~ The new pet shop care can't compare to Qianqiu's craftsmanship at all."

"Where did Xiao Qianqiu go before? She just left without saying a word."

"Did Qianqiu receive our letter? It's strange, there was no news before... I thought something happened, everyone should be worried."

Even after half a year away, the enthusiasm here still touched Qianqiu's heart.The tip of her nose suddenly became sour, and her heart was filled with a sense of happiness.The smiling faces of the neighbors made Qianqiu forget those chaotic thoughts for a while.

This is the life she wants...

Qian Qiu wiped his eyes indiscriminately, walked into the warehouse and began to sort out the pet food and medicines he had hoarded before.But she found that these things were already packaged with the latest production date, and they were neatly arranged one by one.When I wanted to clean it, I found that the ground was completely clean, as if someone had already cleaned it.

Her face flushed, and even her piercing eyes became moist.

"That...Thank you for helping to clean up..."

Qianqiu bowed deeply, but Aunt Laura next door laughed heartily.

"Where is there, someone came to sort it out two days ago. The tossing inside and outside has made a lot of noise. I thought it was your friend, Xiao Qianqiu, but I didn't say anything when I asked..."

"Has anyone been here?"

"Yes. There were two young men in suits." Aunt Laura frowned and tried to recall what happened two days ago, but the smile on her mouth was still cheerful, "Because she is from the East just like Xiao Qianqiu. The human face is quite impressive.”

Qianqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed Aunt Laura's sleeve, and even the voice he spoke became hurried.

"What kind of person is it?"

Aunt Laura glanced at Qianqiu meaningfully, and then laughed, "It was a young man with a strange haircut who came to carry things, and a very handsome young man with black hair was watching from the side. Speaking of which, I haven't seen such a beautiful oriental man, but it's really hard to get close..."

"Because of this, everyone thinks that you, Little Qianqiu, seem to be coming back. No, it really is." Aunt Laura took Qianqiu's hand enthusiastically, and winked at her cutely, "Is that so?" Is it Xiao Qianqiu's boyfriend?"

Qianqiu quickly pulled her hand out of Aunt Laura's hand, and her cheeks flushed immediately. She waved her hands in a daze, and retorted falteringly, "No, it's not. Probably the one who has been taking care of me before. friend……"

Are you friends...

Hearing the good-natured jokes from the neighbors, Qianqiu's heart sank again.Even if she didn't ask their names, she knew who those two people were.She owed too much to Mr. Skylark, and even such a detailed matter was preempted... But I'm afraid that she didn't even have the chance to thank her.

Looking at this clean and warm pet shop, Qianqiu suddenly didn't know what to do.All the things that were supposed to be done were taken care of, but now she just needs to sit here and wait for customers to come to her door like every day before, and there is no need to worry about the rest.

Such, belongs to Mr. Skylark's unknown tenderness.

I like Mr. Skylark... I like it... I can't like it... I can't like it anymore.

Such emotions are hovering like a cotton candy machine, slowly changing from small sugar cubes to swollen sugar balls, sweet and dizzying.At the same time, the sense of loss also grew bigger and bigger, as if something was missing in my heart, but I didn't know what to make up for it.Even so, I still want to see... I want to know about Mr. Hibari, even if it's the last time.

Qian Qiu numbly sent off the neighbors who came to greet him, and leaned unsteadily in front of the door.

From past memories, she understood one thing, the reason why she was involved in the dispute was because of her innate ability.But now this ability to divide into two has been fully engraved in his body.

Qian Qiu stretched out his hand almost tremblingly, his fingertips trembled slightly, and touched the glass door.

She saw the hustle and bustle of people passing by in front of the court, children laughing and playing, and old people faltering.The changes of the three seasons of summer, autumn and winter, the flying red maple leaves hovering down.The peaceful and beautiful life is described day by day by these recorders who cannot lie.

She saw the black-haired young man pass by the store, once, twice, three times, and she mustered up the courage to go up and talk to him.She saw that Mr. Yunque, who was looking at Yundou and Mixiu, was more kind than ever, with a gentleness in his eyes that could not be matched by the spring breeze.

She saw the sweat on Mr. Kusakabe's forehead, who was trying to carry the goods, but his eyes were filled with regret for his boss.The slender young man just stared at this small pet shop motionlessly, his jet-black eyes like glittering jewels were covered with frost.

It starts here, but ends here.

Qian Qiu blinked, but felt disgusted in his heart.She thought that the total of the tears she shed in the past 20 years was not even as good as this short six months.It is the most obscure day, but it is also the most joyful and warm.

Qian Qiu stumbled through the familiar streets and alleys, read all the memories here, but stopped in front of Grandma Sophia's shop.

"Clean here too."

"here it is……?"

"No need to ask."

She saw that here, at first, Mr. Skylark rescued Grandma Sophia and herself who were troubled by gangsters, but it was also here that she sent someone to clean the shop for Grandma Sophia who was bedridden.

Sunflowers swaying gently.

Spring has come with brisk steps.

There is no remnant of the Greet family, no betrayal... The most authentic memory tells Qianqiu that she was a clean person from the beginning to the end.Even though she was alone in the past, she has a present where people care about her so much.From the beginning, Mr. Skylark has been silently helping her and supporting her in an awkward way.

The amber eyes seemed to be slowly covered by water mist, and quickly oozed out bean-sized water droplets that rolled out.

It was as if something sharp was being pressed against my heart, and there were sharp pains one after another.

"Aha..." Qian Qiu squatted down slowly, her throat was squeezed hard, and a small but sharp whimper was slowly released.The heart was squeezed hard.The memory in the mansion is connected with the fragments I see now, becoming an insurmountable shackle for thousands of years, firmly bound in my heart.

like.

It turned out that liking Mr. Skylark started so early.

In front of this remote, Grandma Sophia's shop, a woman with long chestnut hair was crying like a lost child who had been left behind.Letting go of her reserve, calmness, and gentleness like a mask... sobbing without image.

The cell phone rang at this moment, sharply piercing through Qianqiu's crying, but it also stopped her from being uneasy at the moment.

"Hello? Is it my sister? Grandma Sophia suddenly went into shock...!"
