Warm and respectful people

Xia Wen left before Shen Xueyu went out.

Before she left, she looked at the pajamas she had worn, and asked Shen Xueyu: "Do you want me to take it back and wash it for you?"

Write the word "unfamiliar" on your face.

Shen Xueyu was a little helpless: "I'll just wash it myself."

Xia Wen nodded: "I have caused you trouble."

Shen Xueyu sent her to the elevator at the door, watched the elevator door slowly go up and then closed, Xia Wen kept her head down to avoid meeting her eyes.

The red number beside the elevator kept flashing, and Shen Xueyu stood at the elevator entrance and did not go back.

Returning to the country and meeting Xia Wen again, Shen Xueyu felt powerless all over her body. Xia Wen completely wrapped herself up and did not allow herself to get any closer.

Like a small animal full of defenses.

After Xia Wen came out of Shen Xueyu's house, she first went back to her own house, took a shower, and changed into new clothes.A black polka-dot shirt with a pair of smoky gray jeans, and a pair of white canvas shoes to go out, with a proud figure and outstanding temperament.

Then he drove to the coffee shop that he had agreed with Xu Fengmian.

On weekends, the coffee shop on the first floor of the shopping mall is full of bustling crowds, and this is the place with the largest flow of people in the entire business district.

As soon as Xia Wen came in, Xu Fengmian leaned on the low sofa beside him and waved to her.

"Why did you choose such a place? I remember that there are several houses around that are cleaner than this place." Xia Wen put down her bag and sat opposite Xu Fengmian.

Xu Fengmian smiled: "Miss, I just came back from the big countryside in England, and I am very eager to hug the lively crowd. I have had enough of the tranquility of the vast land and the sparse population."

Xia Wen took a sip of the lemonade in front of him, and sighed: "The arrogant student who used to sit at the table behind me is still the same after all these years."

Hearing this sentence, Xu Fengmian's eyes darkened for a moment: "Even you despise my eternal youth?"

After the college entrance examination, Shen An'an stayed in Nancheng to live a university life where she could go home on weekends, but she and Xu Fengmian traveled thousands of miles to the northern city full of smog. She was for Shen Xueyu and Xu Fengmian was for Lin Yunshen.

The two people's schools are in the same university town, and occasionally when they are free, they will meet together to express their sorrows in a foreign land, and gradually become the kind of friends who can talk to each other.

Of course, the two people have one thing in common, that is, the person they like is always out of reach.

Lin Yunshen went to a British school during his master's degree. Xu Fengmian had no idea about going abroad, but he still applied for a one-year exchange to the UK during his third year of graduate school.

"Did you meet Sister Yunshen during your trip to England?" Xia Wen asked.

Xu Fengmian leaned limply on the sofa: "I have seen it, but I have not seen it."

Xia Wen didn't ask further: "Last week, I received an email from Sister Yun Shen, she will return to Nancheng in a while to participate in an art exhibition."

Xu Fengmian snorted coldly: "She has far more contact with you than me now."

Lin Yunshen originally studied chemistry at university, but later changed her major to major in art appreciation, which has a lot of overlap with Xia Wen's work. Xia Wen went to England for a while when she was studying for graduate school, and Lin Yunshen received her.

"Sister Yunshen, it's pretty good." Xia Wen said, although she and the two were friends for many years, she didn't ask much about the years of involvement between Xu Fengmian and Lin Yunshen.

Because she can't handle her own problems.

Xu Fengmian ordered her a cup of hot latte, and then the conversation got to the point: "You still haven't found a suitable publishing house for the album you wanted to publish last time, and you also know that the current environment is not good.

Xia Wen has drawn a lot of paintings one after another over the years of studying, and some of them have won awards. In the end, she was not able to directly work in the art industry. She still felt a little regretful, so she hoped that her collection of paintings could be published.

Xu Fengmian studied finance, which was the hottest topic at the time, and now he is preparing to enter related industries, and he knows a lot of people.

"It's not impossible if you really want to do it," Xu Fengmian said.

Xia Wen asked: "What should I do?"

"It's at your own expense. Although the book number is troublesome, you have won an award after all, so it's easier to get it."

Xia Wen thought for a while. She just started working, and her work intensity is not small, but it is obvious to all that her salary is low. Moreover, she is still in the internship period, and her salary is only enough to make ends meet.People who can't even guarantee their own food and clothing can talk about artistic ideals.

She smiled and shook her head: "Forget it then."

Xu Fengmian: "I will try my best to find it. Be happy, and I will take you to a good place to play?"

-

When Jiang Nian came out, he saw Shen Xueyu from a distance.

The other party stood behind the person who came to pick him up, wearing a long gray knitted skirt and a brown windbreaker. She was the most conspicuous among the blurred faces of the passing crowd.

He was bowing his head to reply to the message on the phone.

Jiang Nian dragged the suitcase and walked over to stop in front of Shen Xue: "I am so honored to have Professor Shen, a busy man, pick me up."

Shen Xueyu put away her phone after hearing the voice: "Welcome back to China."

Jiang Nian looked at Shen Xueyu in front of her. She hadn't seen her for three years, but she became more mature and her temperament was more pure. She half-jokingly said, "I don't know if I have the honor to receive a welcome hug from Professor Shen."

As he spoke, he opened his hands.

Shen Xueyu pulled Jiang Nian's box over: "The car is parked in the underground parking lot, let's go together."

It's not a clever way to avoid Jiang Nian's overly enthusiastic actions.

Jiang Nian dejectedly followed Shen Xueyu's pace in a few seconds. Although Shen Xueyu hadn't accepted her all these years, but all these years abroad, no one who pursued Shen Xueyu, male or female, could really get close to her.

Being able to maintain a friendly relationship with Shen Xueyu for so many years is much better than many people.

As the car drove out of the underground garage, Shen Xueyu's fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel.

"Have you found a job when you come back?"

Jiang Nian nodded: "In my company, my parents have already made arrangements."

Shen Xueyu nodded: "Very good."

The scenery outside the window keeps fading away.

Jiang Nian sat in the passenger seat and looked at the man who was driving without talking, but his mood was not so calm.When Shen Xueyu went abroad, she did not hesitate to apply to the same university as her to study psychology. Later, Shen Xueyu went all the way to post-doctorate, and she herself entered a top 500 job after graduating from graduate school.

Life abroad is easy and comfortable, and she returned home not because of her parents' urging, but because of Shen Xueyu.She devoted her entire youth to this person, like a gambler at a gambling table, and it became very difficult to give up.

Jiang Nian tilted his body and said, "You said you would welcome me, can I choose that location?"

Shen Xueyu looked ahead and nodded: "Of course."

Jiang Nian took Shen Xueyu to a restaurant with authentic Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. After the meal, Shen Xueyu sent her home, passing by a bar street near Nancheng University.

"Let's go and have a look." Jiang Nian suggested, "Your life is too boring, go out and see what young people are playing now."

Shen Xueyu didn't want to go, she didn't have any curiosity about these nightlife, and when she was about to refuse, two people were walking past holding hands in front of the car window in front of her.

One of them was in Xiawen, who had left his home in the morning.

Going to and from the bar for two consecutive days, Xia Wen was a bit overwhelmed. When she first knew that Xu Fengmian was going to take her to the bar, she was unwilling.

"It's like staying with me." Xu Fengmian persuaded her.

When he came out of the parking lot, Xu Fengmian saw that Xia Wen was not happy, so he directly dragged Xia Wen inside.

Shen Xueyu looked at the intimate movements of the two, her face was not very good, and she agreed to Jiang Nian.

"go in."

Jiang Nian was a little surprised, because generally Shen Xueyu's good decisions are difficult to overturn, and Shen Xueyu's response made her heart jump for joy.

The bar is squeezed in the middle of various storefronts, and a small neon sign on the ground reads the word "Fleeing Years".

But when you push the door and go in, there is nothing wrong with it.

The two of them found a good secluded seat. When they first sat down, Xu Fengmian looked at Xia Wen's attire. Although it was pretty, it was too conservative.

"You, a young girl, are actually dressed like women from the last century. It's unscientific. This is a bar, not an academic forum. Take off your coat quickly!"

Xia Wen looked at Xu Fengmian with strange eyes, and fell back: "Could it be that you... have taken a fancy to me?"

Xu Fengmian rolled her eyes at her: "Do you think my aesthetics might be downgraded from Lin Yunshen to yours?"

Xia Wen was immediately annoyed. The waiter had just brought two glasses of alcoholic beverages. She drank a little, looked at the flickering lights around her, and really took off her coat in obsession.

Inside the polka-dot shirt was a sleeveless black knit inner layer, with a snow-white arm exposed, and the slender collarbone glowing in the dark light.

Black curly hair with red lipstick, no matter how you look at it, she is a stunner.

Xu Fengmian leaned back and raised his legs: "Although you are still worse than Lin Yunshen, no matter how you say it, Shen Xueyu is able to remain unmoved by you. I really admire her."

Xia Wen raised his head and took another big mouthful.

In the past two days, she always felt stuffy in her heart, and when she was about to drink again, her arm was grabbed by someone.

Xia Wen frowned, and was about to pull back his hand, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Xueyu with a long face next to him.

And Jiang Nian next to him.

The tightness in his chest was almost out of breath.

"It's not that you are not allowed to drink, why are you disobedient, have you forgotten the lesson from yesterday?" Shen Xueyu put on a parental look again.

Xia Wen didn't speak, but pulled back his arm with a lot of strength, and there was a little red on his wrist.

The two faced each other silently.

Jiang Nian came over and pulled Shen Xueyu: "Wen Wen likes to play with friends the most at this age, you should let her go."

Xia Wen, who was originally silent with her head down, looked back at Shen Xueyu with a sneer after hearing these words. Her eyes were a little blurred, and a few strands of black hair were stained with lipstick because of the action just now. At this moment, she has a kind of sad beauty.

"Whoever you are to me, you can control me. My surname is not Shen."
