Purple Grapes and Soft Beauty

In July, the unique heat in the south will not be merciful just because City X is a water town.

High school students do not need to stay in school to make up classes during the summer vacation, but they have to log in to the air class to check in.

Gathering in the library It is impossible to get together in the library, not to mention that online classes on mobile phones hurt your eyes, summer vacation is the peak period, and if you go late, you may not even have a seat.

Yu Zhi was invited to visit Shen Xinyue's house for the second time.

When discussing with her family, she would have just said "go to a friend's house", but she insisted on euphemistically calling it "discussing work related to the next semester's school celebration", and she was not hindered by anything.

In other words, since her sister Yu Ai passed away due to an accident, the elders of the Yu family have changed their attitudes towards the younger generation. They hope that the children will grow up happy and healthy.

As parents, Mr. Yu Zhuo and Ms. Ye Jing lacked time to spend with their children due to hard work in their careers. Grandparents also have their own life plans for the elderly.In the past, except for her sister's company, Yu Zhi's vacation was not a time for relaxation, but more like a long and difficult upgraded remedial class.

It is different now.

She has friends.

This time, the furnishings in Shen Xinyue's house have changed slightly, the kitten is as cute as ever, and her younger sister Shen Xinyi's leg has already healed, but she still doesn't seem to move very much.

Yu Zhi once wondered how Jiajia's leg was hurt, and asked Shen Xinyue.

"She doesn't want to say it. I guess it might be a fight." Shen Xinyue replied solemnly.

Yu Zhi: You really can't judge people by their appearances!

Yu Zhi met the two mothers of the Shen family for the first time.

Shen Jiecui's demeanor is elegant and graceful, and even her hair is full of beauty. Looking at the soft smile in her eyes, it's like falling into a pool of spring water.

Shen Jiewei looked at the airs of no "adult" in the slightest. The whole person's appearance and mental state were very young. If it weren't for the age that was really unforgiving and left marks on her face, it would not be wrong to say that she is only in her 20s. Not exaggerating.

The attitude of the two parents towards Yu Zhi was gentle and appropriate, very measured, as if Yu Zhi was really just a good friend of Shen Xinyue.

But Yu Zhi keenly sensed from the details of the eyes, smiles and other facial expressions that the two ladies should know their real relationship.Even if Shen Xinyue didn't tell them, they probably noticed it.

This realization made Yu Zhi inevitably a little nervous, and her faint smile was a little unnatural.

Fortunately, the two ladies were better at dealing with people than she was. They just picked a few topics at random and let Yu Zhi relax slowly in their gentle conversation.

Fortunately, the Shen family also has a cat, which is an English short that Yu Zhi is familiar with.

The way the four of the Shen family get along is not so much a parent-child relationship, but more like an old friend who has known each other for a long time. Most of the communication with each other is straightforward and casual, without the traditional sense of the Yu family floating in the air.Thinking about Shen Xinyi's not-so-extroverted but direct temperament, Yu Zhi felt that only such a family could tolerate the child's characteristics growing freely like weeds without the sharp and effective scissors of a senior gardener.

This thought made Yu Zhi even more curious about how Shen Xinyue developed her good temper.

After all, Yu Zhi once resisted her approach so much, but she has always faced it with a gentle attitude.

After dinner, walking by the river in the ancient street area of ​​X city, Yu Zhi asked the question in her heart.

Shen Xinyue's smile was the same as usual: "My mothers didn't force me to change anything. My 'good temper' is actually a kind of growth of self-awareness and realization."

Yu Zhi's hand holding her arm slowly moved down, took her hand, and gestured for her to continue talking.

"I was adopted and I was in an orphanage. At that time, no child could beat me, which shows that I was quite fierce! But the mothers were not frightened by my irascibility. They said that I had a light in my eyes that no one else had. ..."

Yu Zhi felt her fingers being gently separated, and the little girl's warm fingers passed through the gap between her fingers, and they clasped gently until their palms touched.

Strictly fit.

Yu Zhi's shallow smile showed a little shyness and embarrassment, but unexpectedly she didn't feel out of control: "Then you're pretty good... I really can't see it."

After really getting acquainted with her, Shen Xinyue no longer felt that the address "you" was polite and alienated. In other words, as long as any joking words came from Yu Zhi's mouth, Shen Xinyue would find it very interesting and cute.

The two girls just held hands and strolled in the neighborhood full of Jiangnan charm. The hazy lights and shadows around them turned into a blurred background, and the slightly noisy voices seemed to have been diluted, leaving only warmth and tranquility beside them. Surging, like a static flow, it looks calm, but in fact it is trickling.

It is like the time in the ordinary world, giving you the warmest memories.

Reminds me of a passage:

"Someone stands with you at dusk, and someone asks you how warm the porridge is."

It is a peaceful life like a pure land in the minds of those who have experienced ups and downs.

Yu Zhi didn't expect that the verification of "how good Shen Xinyue fights" would come so quickly.

Maybe it was God's will, and they were destined to have "grievance entanglements" with Xue Li. On the way back, when Shen Xinyue was going to the bathroom, Xue Li ran into Yu Zhi.

Adolescent girls are already beautiful, especially when sitting under the halo of street lamps.Yu Zhi is beautiful in color, with eyebrows and eyes similar to her sister's, but a little more bright and bright than Yu Ai's gentle and delicate.When the face is expressionless, it is cold and lonely, and when there is half a smile, it is like bright paint dripping into a pool of clear water. When the wind picks up, elegant and delicate flowers bloom.

It was different from the childish "follower" in his memory.After all, it's been almost two years since we saw each other properly, right?

This made it impossible for him to turn a blind eye to the girl sitting on the bench next to the street lamp.

Xue Li's heart moved slightly, and his steps were even a little chaotic. He took a deep breath, stood still, and wanted to greet her with his bright smile like before——

Even if it's just "Are you okay?"

The first person to greet him was not the girl's complicated gaze after raising her head, but Shen Xinyue who grabbed his collar and straddled his arm.

Xue Li's expression was still a little dazed, but she was shocked by the sternness in Shen Xinyue's eyes that shouldn't belong to her age, and she was shocked all of a sudden.

Both Shen Xinyue and Yu Zhi were very calm. Shen Xinyue grabbed Xue Li by the collar to immobilize him, but did not do any substantial harm to him.Yu Zhi pursed her lips, got up from the bench, looked at him expressionlessly, and said in a calm tone, "Senior Xue, what can I do for you?"

Xue Li smiled instead of anger: "Xiaozhi, do you still hate me?"

Yu Zhi's eyelashes trembled.

The eyes that were as clear and warm as spring water in the past are surprisingly cold at the moment: "If possible, it's better for you and me not to communicate with each other."

Before Xue Li could answer, she went on to say, "After all, what happened in the past can no longer be undone. It's better for everyone, isn't it?"

Xue Li was stunned, this was completely beyond his expectation.

He thought that even if it was hatred, Yu Zhi shouldn't let it go so quickly.

It's not a fake time to make friends with each other when we were young. How can a person like Yu Zhi who is so emotional, let it go as soon as he says it?

Shen Xinyue didn't open her mouth all the time, but at this moment, she seemed to have insight into his heart: "Senior Xue Li, we may need to refer to your experience and suggestions for club management, but which way to go, how to go, and when to go are all matters. It’s something everyone needs to worry about, and you don’t need to be your life guide. No matter how strong your ability to empathize is, we are not the ones to ask for help from you. Please come back.”

After saying that, she slowly let go of his collar, and then held Yu Zhi's wrist, and walked back and walked away.

Xue Li stayed alone under the dim light, and the shadow reflected on the ground was thin, as if he was still a teenager.

It was as if he was still the only one who had been wallowing in that memory.

Unable to maintain his composure, he squatted down a little bit, covering his face with his hands, his shadow was only a small ball.

The shoulders twitched uncontrollably, and some liquid droplets dyed the ground into spray-like flowers.

There are some precious, priceless things that can never come back.

The author has something to say: This section is too hurtful.

The hands seemed to be faster than the brain, and the previously vague arrangement about Xue Li suddenly became clear.

There are spoilers in the following story, which is my personal interpretation of the last paragraph. I don’t want to vomit, so I just want to release it. If you mind, please skip to the next chapter.Some things that have not been written so far will be explained in detail outside the episode.

(Here are a few words of my own point of view: Xue Li is not some heinous villain, but it is indeed his fault that directly led to Yu Ai's death. It is human nature for Yu Zhi to blame everything on him. It's not that the Yu family sisters have no feelings, but after making a mistake, they are very afraid to face it. While exonerating themselves and wanting to feel better, they can't face up to their mistakes. Because they care, they don't want to be hated, but they don't want to be ignored , so even if you are hated, you don’t really want to break with Yu Zhi. The mentality is weak, the typical of the strong outside, the growth process is too smooth, and it is difficult to get out after being hit by setbacks, so I always care about it, and I can’t get rid of it. I feel a bit like "Sister Lin". , a very sensitive personality. And Yu Zhi knew him better than he imagined. Although Yu Zhi had resented him for a long time before being childish, she still hoped that he could regain his spirit in the future. After all, they were friends at the beginning... But her lofty Ah, pride, or being arrogant and not frank, she couldn't really let go, so she had to pretend to be calm. After all, Yu Zhi now has a new hope (Shen Xinyue), but Xue Li is really miserable. It is impossible for her to watch Xue Li slump and sink into the mire. But Yu Zhi really cannot act as if nothing happened. Her heart is so sensitive, the wounds left may scab, but they will never It will heal, the scars are always there, and the pain may continue. She is not a chic character who can abandon everything. She will bear everything and grow silently and stubbornly. Even if it grows in the cracks, it will bloom. But She won't forget the pain and suffering, never.)
