she doesn't love me

After meeting Xiao Qi, Qin Mian began to think about how to tactfully tell Yan He about that matter. Although the words were coaxing Xiao Qi at first, she still felt a little distressed when she saw Xiao Qi's dark circles.

"Thinking about what?"

"Ah...?" Qin Mian was taken aback, glanced at Yan He, buried her head in the food again, and said vaguely, "It's nothing."

Yan He put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth, crossed his hands on the table: "Just say what you want."

"It's nothing." Qin Mian touched the tip of her nose, a little embarrassed, "It's just that Qiqi is working under Yan Yu, and the work intensity is a bit overloaded..."

"Want to open the back door for her?"

"No way! I also know about Qiqi's job. I don't have much to do, and I don't need to work overtime every day. What's more, she works continuously from time to time, so I can't bear it."

Yan He tapped his fingers on the back of his hand, pondered for a while, and then said: "I remember Yan Yu told me that the department had been reformed, and even the staff in the department had been changed, and the ones left now are those who agreed to high-intensity work. "

"Then do they know that high intensity is such a high intensity?"

"I don't know, let me ask you."

"Okay." Qin Mian smiled and stood up and walked behind Yan He, helping her squeeze her shoulders, "Ah He is the best."

Yan He grabbed her wrist and dialed Yan Yu's number.

"doing what?"

"Mianmian asked, did your employees know what high-intensity work is?"

"I do not know what happened?"

"Xiaoqi is not used to work, Mianmian wants you to reduce her burden."

Yan Yu laughed: "I know that Xiaoqi can't adapt to the new work intensity. I wanted her to be my assistant, but she refused. Later, I wanted to transfer her to a more relaxed department, but she also refused."

"Mianmian, it's hard for me to handle what you said."

Qin Mian was silent. Xiao Qi's job was introduced by her. Originally, Xiao Qi's parents wanted her to work in their own factory, but Xiao Qi refused, so she asked her friend to get her an interview opportunity. .

As for the assistant, Xiao Qi doesn't like the two sisters of the Yan family, so she definitely won't be Yan Yu's assistant.

"Mianmian, I will help you take care of her more, don't worry, I still have work to do, I'm dead."

"Don't think about it, Xiaoqi has her own decision, she is not a child anymore, not to mention that Yanyu will take care of her, so she will do what she says."

"Ok."

Yan He pulled Qin Mian and put his arms around her: "Don't be sad, New Year's Day is a holiday, shall we go out and play?"

"Just the two of us?"

Qin Mian was a little tempted. She lived with Yan He after returning to China, and then went to A University to teach. Usually, because the place where she lived was too far from the city center, she seldom went out.

The 'date' with Xiao Qi on the weekend was her second time going out, and she didn't have a solo trip with Yan He. Yan He only slept and slept, and she was too embarrassed to let Yan He take her out to play.

"Yes, just the two of us, I'll take you to a very fun place."

·

It is said to be a fun place, but in fact there is nothing fun. I just went to a small town that is far away and remote.

The small town is separated from the city by a mountain, passing through winding mountain roads, and crossing dense forests, you can reach it just by pulling away the vines.

The eyes are endlessly light-colored, and the houses are all light-colored low-rise buildings, with green vegetation growing in them, and the balconies of every household are full of flowerpots.

Qin Mian was amazed at the sight in front of her. The discomfort caused by the steep mountain road and the fatigue after the long journey dissipated at this moment, just like the protagonist in the movie, wandering in the deep forest, and finally found a fairytale place.

"Like it?"

"I like it! It's so beautiful here, like a peach blossom garden, how do you know it's here?"

Qin Mian really liked it, and walked along the cobbled path, whether it was the layout of the house or the design of the environment, she stepped on her preferences one by one.

If Qin Mian hadn't seen Yan He sleeping under her nose every day, he would have wondered if Yan He designed it for her.

In fact, this place really belongs to Yan He. It is a place that Yan He has restored and maintained in more than ten years. The area of ​​[-] square kilometers covers all facilities. The school has a hospital.

It's like an independent small city, and the residents inside are all children.

After walking for a while, the two arrived at the gate, which was surrounded by a wooden fence. Qin Mian's first impression was that she must have strayed into the Qingqing Grassland, right?

Looking up at the sign on the top of the door, it says Shijin Town in cartoon characters, and there are cute cartoon patterns beside it, with small mushrooms and cotton balls. On both sides of the door, there is also the words 'Grow up happily, make progress every day'.

"Grow up happily and make progress every day. The children here must be smart and happy, but we have been walking for so long, why is there no one?"

"This is Shijin Town, formerly known as Shimian Villa. It is a very poor small town, and the families there have been relying on the support of the big family to survive."

"Later, due to various reasons, small counties merged with big cities. Many children from impoverished families became even poorer, and some children with disabilities lived more difficultly."

"Later, someone adopted them all into their homes, and built this township, which was renamed Shijin Town."

Yan He took Qin Mian to a park and sat down, and Qin Mian noticed something special: "Are there no adults here? How does it feel, it's all designed for children."

"There are adults, but as you said, this place is mainly designed for children. Most of the people who live here are underage children. When they grow up, they will be sent to big cities to go to college, work, and start a family."

"Of course, some people will choose to come back here as a worker and give back to their hometown."

"But we haven't seen anyone after walking for so long." Not to mention the children, even those shops are closed, and there is no other sound except for the chirping of birds and their voices.

"Kids are in class, no one is open during class, and it will be very lively after class ends at [-] o'clock."

Qin Mian didn't doubt anymore. After all, it was Friday, so it was normal to have class, and she also drove here with Yan He after class.

"I want to take a rest or take you around. This place has a fairy tale atmosphere, and you should like it very much."

"Let's go shopping. I don't think there are hotels here. The places to rest should be outside the gate."

Yan He rubbed Qin Mian's hair, took her for a walk in the park, and introduced the origins or stories of various scenic spots to her. Some stories were very warm, and some were very sad.

"This Shijin Town is really a story city."

Qin Mian stared blankly at a small mushroom field with red eyes. The story of this mushroom field was also very touching. She wondered if Yan He did it on purpose, why she kept telling her such sad stories.

"Why are you so familiar, do you come here often?"

"Well, I'll come and see it occasionally." Yan He pointed to a statue in the distance, "Do you want to go and see that statue?"

"Does it have a story?" Qin Mian was a little scared, sniffing and looking at Yan He, "It can't be another tragedy, I don't want to cry, can you tell me something warm."

Yan He couldn't help laughing, and helped Qin Mian wipe away tears: "Okay, the story of that statue is sweet."

"Really? Then I'm going to take a look." Qin Mian got up and poked Yan He's arm, "Don't lie to me, if it's another tragic story, I'll beat you up."

"I'm not lying to you. The prototype of this statue is a doll." Yan He took Qin Mian to the bench and sat down. He raised his eyes and stared at the statue. There was an emotion in his eyes that Qin Mian couldn't understand, a bit like nostalgia, "Yes A little girl made a lot of lovely dolls for her younger sister, some beautiful, funny and weird ones, and after her younger sister was born, she took those dolls to make her happy."

"She found that her younger sister liked beautiful dolls, so she made a lot of them, but my younger sister didn't like them, she only liked the first one." Yan He breathed a sigh of relief, and led Qin Mian to the statue, "Then the doll It’s gone, and the elder sister has to be separated from the younger sister, so I asked someone to make the doll into a statue, which looks like that doll, and their names are engraved on the base.”

Qin Mian squatted down, and there were indeed two words engraved on it. Looking at the two words, she felt a sense of familiarity in her heart. She involuntarily raised her hand to brush the engraving, and whispered: "Time ,cotton."

"Why are you crying again?" Yan He was a little helpless, telling the sad story that Qin Mian was going to cry, and now such a warm story is also going to cry, "Stop crying, okay?"

"I don't want to cry, I just..." Qin Mian took a deep breath, "I just feel that this statue and the name are so familiar, and the mushroom field, and many places and stories here, I It all feels so familiar.”

"Ahe, did I come here when I was a child?"

The author has something to say:

Do you find it difficult to understand wow orz

Maybe the first few chapters are a bit messy, but I'm not writing indiscriminately!

I didn't write it well, I admit, because the story is a bit convoluted, and there are still many things that have not been written.

In fact, there are a lot of foreshadowings that have already been laid out, and I feel that my paving is quite obvious (×)

Take your time, this story is actually a tragedy, it can no longer be regarded as be in the traditional sense, it is a very sad story.
