When I woke up my girlfriend was gone

The wind quieted down at this moment, the rustling sound of the leaves disappeared, and the surroundings were so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard very clearly.

Shen Qingzi slightly protected Zuo Yin behind her, stopped and took the initiative to break the eerie silence, "Mom and Dad."

Mrs. Shen didn't know if she was concerned that this was a public place, her tone didn't sound harsh at all, "Xiaozi, your father said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so he brought you something, let's go up first."

Shen Qingzi nodded, and was about to turn around and tell Zuo Yin to let her go first.

Shen Lai stopped in front of the two of them.

A huge shadow shrouded Zuo Yin's head, and said, "Xiao Yin, let's go together."

Zuo Yin couldn't resist, nodded and followed behind the elders, keeping a regular distance from Shen Qingzi.

It was very quiet all the way up the stairs. The two young lovers who were witnessed by the elders on the spot stood upright behind, not daring to breathe.

Zuo Yin feels that if her heartbeat can be monitored now, she can definitely break the Guinness World Record.

Shen Lai entered Shen Qingzi's house, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and said, "Xiaozi, go help your mother."

Shen Qingzi looked at the expressions of the two elders, one of them was calmer than the other, and she didn't dare to speculate.

She nodded obediently, and said to Zuo Yin beside her, "Then Xiaoyin, let's go together."

It was obviously a life-saving talisman, but Shen Lai didn't give Shen Qingzi a chance, "There's no reason to let a girlfriend come to work at home."

Shen Qingzi froze when she heard Shen Lei's words.

Just now she was too nervous, and now she realized that Shen Lei's expression was not like the calmness he pretended, but more like the calmness he had expected.

With this guess, Shen Qingzi nodded and walked to the kitchen on the side.

Zuo Yin felt that the temperature in the living room became much colder at once.

If the person opposite was just the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts, Zuo Yin might not be as anxious as he is now.

But Shen Lai is not only the dean, but also her teacher's father, the father who just broke through his close relationship with her girl.

Shen Lai: "It was your aunt and I who wanted to surprise Xiaozi tonight, but I didn't expect you to surprise us first."

Zuo Yin pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.

She knew that even if she said extravagantly, she couldn't hide the fact that she was with her teacher.

"I heard from Xiaozi that your paintings have entered the art exhibition?" Shen Lai asked.His focus on Zuo Yin didn't seem to be on the matter just now.

Zuo Yin nodded respectfully, "En."

"Not bad." Shen Lai commented simply, "With your level, you can win an award if you enter the art exhibition."

Zuoyin smiled restrainedly, she still wanted to make a good impression in front of Shen Qingzi's father, "I still remember what the dean said to me at the reception."

Shen Lai nodded approvingly, "Then you've done it now, it's pretty good for a 20-year-old."

Seeing Shen Lai's words, Zuo Yin felt a little relieved, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you teacher for your compliment."

Suddenly, I don't know if Zuo Yin's words just reminded him, or what.

Shen Lai changed the subject and asked, "When did you and Xiaozi start? Was it after the reception that day?"

"No, the teacher and I just got together this month."

Zuo Yin hurriedly shook her head in denial, as if the length of time she had been in contact with could make the man on the opposite side deduct a little less of her impression points.

"Teacher... You children are getting more and more unruly." Shen Lai caught the key words in Zuo Yin's words, raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had suddenly figured something out, "However, this title sounds It also has some taste."

Zuo Yin couldn't hear the emotions contained in Shen Lei's words, he was better at hiding emotions than Shen Qingzi.

Those eyes that were as calm as a pool of water were bottomless, making it impossible to guess.

"Since we are together, we should cherish it, huh?" Shen Lai leaned over slightly, picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured himself a glass of water. I don't know if it was soaked in water, and his voice became dull. That's harsh.

Zuo Yin was startled for a moment, unable to digest Shen Lai's suddenly improved attitude.

Did he agree to be with the teacher by default?

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not a man-eating monster." Shen Lai smiled as she spoke, and returned to her usual approachable appearance in the Academy of Fine Arts.

Hearing what Shen Lei said, Zuo Yin was even more sure that he agreed.

Zuo Yin's heart jumped for joy, and the celebratory gongs and drums were beating on his chest just now.

The guarantees to Shen Qingzi were accumulated one by one in her heart, but she felt that she was too swearing when she said it, and it seemed insincere instead.

For a moment, Zuo Yin didn't know what to say to Shen Lai.

After thinking about it, she still raised her head and said the mediocre but heartfelt promise, "I will definitely cherish the teacher, please rest assured."

The light-white hand rested on the knee nervously, and the fabric above the knee was wrinkled.

In Shen Lai's impression, Zuo Yin has always been a girl who is so calm that she doesn't match her age.

I didn't expect that when encountering this kind of thing, I would still be at a loss like a child.

Shen Lai smiled, nodded and said, "Well, uncle believes in you."

Maybe Shen Lai was afraid that what he acted just now was too realistic, and wanted to win back some of his goodwill in Zuo Yin's heart, so he said in a half-chitchat, "Believe it or not, I've already seen it?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Zuo Yin's eyes, thinking that she and Shen Qingzi had been spotted a long time ago, there was a little shyness in the surprise on her face.

"After so many years, Xiaozi has never taken anyone by her side, not even Xiaolin. She only took you with her and accepted you as a student. I thought it might be fate, but I didn't expect that you would meet at the time. It's the fate between marriage and career." Shen Lai looked at Shen Qingzi who was busy with Mrs. Shen in the kitchen, and felt that she was still the little girl who only grew to her thigh yesterday.

Shen Lai: "I think since you are already together, you must know Xiaozi's life experience."

Zuo Yin nodded.

"This child is very sensible. She has been sensible since she was a child. Xiaoyue always bullied her when she was a child. She didn't say a word. She dragged her to get a tattoo and didn't say it hurt. In order to save her, her body resistance is so weak that she is still there. Guilty." Shen Lai let out a long sigh as he spoke.

"Although it's a bit harsh, I still hope that you can become Xiaozi's home of peace. There is no other requirement, as long as she can sleep well with you, is that okay?"

These words seemed to come out of Shen Lai's sudden feeling, and they seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

Zuo Yin could not help but feel the deep love of a father for his daughter.

In fact, there are family relationships in this world that are not deeply connected by the umbilical cord.

"Treat her well, or I won't spare you." Shen Lei said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"Don't worry, if I treat the teacher badly, I won't spare myself." Zuoyin assured, her dark eyes were full of sincerity.

"Good boy." After saying that, Shen Lai put his hand on the back of Zuo Yin's hand and patted it in approval.

"Oh, you're still talking, aren't you tired? Let's eat some fruit."

As if seeing that the atmosphere here had calmed down, Mrs. Shen came over with a beautifully crafted fruit plate.

"Come on, Xiaoyin, try this, it's very sweet. There's also this one, freshly picked." Mrs. Shen said, and handed three or four square-cut fruits to Zuoyin with a lottery.

Zuo Yin was quite flattered, said "thank you" and took the fruit that Mrs. Shen handed over, and secretly looked at Shen Qingzi.

Shen Qingzi quickly received Zuo Yin's signal, and hurriedly pressed Mrs. Shen on the sofa, "Mom, no, don't be so enthusiastic. Do you know what Xiao Yin likes to eat?"

"I don't know, it's all right if you know it?" Mrs. Shen's voice is different from Shen Lai and Shen Qingzi's, her voice is particularly ups and downs, crisp and clear.His curly hair was tied behind his head, giving him an extraordinarily dignified yet amiable look.

"Yeah, you should stop worrying about it. I know Xiaoyin, and Xiaoyin also knows me, so you can rest assured." Shen Qingzi said.

Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter and smiled, took a piece of cantaloupe and put it in her mouth, "But ah, you still have to feed it."

"Oh, mom, it's not too late, shouldn't you go back too?" Shen Qingzi reminded, looking at her watch.

Mrs. Shen is not the case, "Your father and I planned to stay here today."

Shen Lai glanced at the hesitant Shen Qingzi, and asked, "Why is it inconvenient?"

"No, the guest room you usually live in is given to Xiaoyin, and the guest room on the second floor needs to be tidied up." Shen Qingzi dared not say that it was inconvenient, so she could only remind the two elders, hoping that they could retreat despite the difficulties.

Mrs. Shen, who always loves cleanliness, didn't care this time. She took her bag and walked up to the second floor, "It's okay, just tidy up, it's still early before going to bed."

"Alright then." Shen Qingzi agreed, with an imperceptible sense of disappointment in her tone.

She thought that tonight she could warm up the tent during the Spring Festival and sing with affection.

The result is that the two places are separated, and there is nothing to eat.

The last quarter moon hangs upside down in the sky, throwing a bright light into the room where Zuo Yin is.

She had already washed and lay down on her bed, and there were still drops of water on her fair face.

This room is still the same as it was when Zuo Yin lived in it. The clothes in the cloakroom have been washed and covered with dust bags. The printed carpet was repaired.

The familiar smell of Shen Qingzi was still on the quilt, and irises bloomed in Zuo Yin's mind.

She knew that these were made by Shen Qingzi, and she kept them for herself.

Zuo Yin's mind became even more excited when he thought that the person who had done all this for himself was in the upstairs room.

She couldn't help thinking about Shen Qingzi's every frown and smile, tossing and turning on the soft bed, unable to fall asleep.

"Dangdang."

Zuo Yin seemed to hear two faint knocks on the door in her restless mind, she opened her eyes suddenly, and looked towards the door in the dark room.

Except for the rustling of quilts when Zuo Yin sat up just now, the room could be said to be audible as needles dropping.

A silence.

Have you been hallucinating yourself?

Zuo Yinzheng was suspicious, but the phone screen turned on.

Shen Qingzi: [Open the door, I'm at the door. 】
