For the favor of Mr. Shen

Can I apply to be your girlfriend?

Shi Yiqing looked at him with eyes full of: No! !Baby don't say that!

Tan Xiaoli smiled, she seemed a little stiff, she patted Liu Huaizhi's head: "Does Huaizhi like brother?"

Liu Huaizhi: "I like——"

The adults were all amused by the cute voice of the child.

Fortunately, no one answered the children's words, so it was just children's words.

After dinner, the two old people didn't stay. They always rested early and rarely let their children stay overnight.

Before leaving, grandpa called Shi Yiqing into the study.

Shi Yiqing was a little uneasy, and looked at Tan Xiaoli.

At this time, Tan Xiaoli looked gentle and virtuous, and smiled at him and said, "Go, it's a good thing."

Shi Yiqing followed his grandfather into the study, and his grandfather greeted him: "Sit."

After speaking, he turned his hands behind his back to look at his works on the wall.

This study room is really elegant. At first glance, it looks a bit messy, but upon closer inspection, it feels wild and unrestrained. He is also looking at the ink paintings in this room.

He has never seen a pair before, but when he looked at it, he felt that this style was very familiar. He might have seen it in a certain class, but he couldn't remember it.

Until Grandpa pointed to a painting and said, "Take this down."

He didn't name them, but he and Shi Yiqing were the only ones in the room. Shi Yiqing quickly stood up and took down the painting on tiptoe.

In the painting, an old man and a young man are fishing in the snowy weather.

Shi Yiqing carefully spread the painting on the desk.He found that these hanging on the wall were not signed, not even a seal.

Suddenly realized, looked up at Grandpa: "Did you draw this?"

Grandpa smiled and didn't say anything, which was a tacit agreement.

"This is for you, as a gift from grandpa."

Shi Yiqing was flattered, and suddenly wondered if he might be some famous painter.

"We've heard a little bit about you. It's normal for you to have complaints about your mother. You are still young, so you don't need to understand the kindness and resentment of adults. Grandpa doesn't know you well, just think you have talent so don't waste it. Opportunities that should be seized must be seized.”

Shi Yiqing lowered his head silently. To be honest, he really didn't think about what would happen in the future, and he thought it was pretty good now.

It may also be that the art was too smooth, and I didn't think so much.

Seeing that Shi Yiqing didn't speak, grandpa smiled and said softly: "It's not that easy to get into a good school, Ah Cheng still has his reputation, you can communicate with him more."

The conversation ended quickly. He and Tan Xiaoli and his group left the house. On the way back, Shi Yiqing also began to think that he wanted to become stronger and protect the people he wanted to protect. Under Shen Mu's protection, he is still a little chick.

If possible, he really wanted to live under Shen Mu's wing all the time.

But, no.

But the weather is unpredictable, and there will always be times when Uncle Shen can't handle it. If he wants to become strong and protect Uncle Shen, it is far from enough now.

Tan Xiaoli took him to the train station. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and he bought a ticket for nine o'clock to go back.

"It's enough to sleep here for one night, it's so tiring to go back and forth all day." Tan Xiaoli said.

Shi Yiqing performed well at today's family banquet, or in other words, although Shi Yiqing didn't show much, his grandparents liked him quite a lot, so he was more kind to himself than usual.

The fact that she let her biological son live with an unrelated uncle has always made the two old people feel uncomfortable.

Facing such a tender Tan Xiaoli, Shi Yiqing felt very complicated.

He just smiled and said, "I bought the tickets together yesterday, and I got into the station, Mom, you can go back."

Tan Xiaoli also smiled, and wanted to say something, but had nothing to say, so she had to say goodbye.

Shi Yiqing got into the car, looking at the bustling city and the people in the car who were on their way late at night.

His feelings for Tan Xiaoli have gone through many stages, and now he finally begins to feel that he is at the top of the game between himself and Tan Xiaoli.

It was early in the morning when he arrived in Yongnan City, and the weather in Yongnan City was colder than that in Dingzhou City. He wrapped the scarf around his neck and followed the crowd to line up to get out of the station.

The phone in his pocket vibrated, Shi Yiqing answered: "Uncle Shen."

"Get off the bus, I'll wait for you at the exit." Shen Mu said.

Shi Yiqing said yes, and hung up the phone with a smile, forgetting about Tan Xiaoli's troubles.

As soon as he came out, he saw Uncle Shen, Shi Yiqing trotted over, gasped and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Shen Mu reached for the schoolbag on his shoulder, Shi Yiqing naturally turned his body to let him take the schoolbag, and the two walked side by side to the underground parking lot.

"I saw the time, and I arrived a little earlier than you. How about it, are you happy to eat?"

"Well, look at this, the painting that grandpa gave me."

"It looks good. Is he also a painter?"

"I don't know, I don't even know what grandpa's name is."

……

Shi Yiqing, who hadn't spoken much all day, returned to Shen Mu, and turned into a chatterbox again, even talking for a few minutes about seeing other people's Landlords playing bad cards on the train .

In the blink of an eye, the new year has passed, and Shen Mu's factory procedures are in a hurry, and the factory's site decoration is also nearing completion, and the next step is to start recruiting people.

He was very busy, and on the day Shi Yiqing started school, he had something urgent to do, so it was the first time that he asked Shi Yiqing to sign up by himself.

"The money has to be collected, do you understand? Just pay the money when you arrive at the school." Shen Mu instructed.

Shi Yiqing wore a long down jacket, the kind that reached to the knees, and Shen Mu knelt down to pull the chain for him.

Shi Yiqing looked at it, Uncle Shen was wearing a suit today, probably to meet important clients or leaders or something, his hair was simply scratched with pomade, he looked very handsome.

Just like the president in TV dramas.

And he was pulling the zipper of his down jacket, and he also noticed that his shoelaces were not tied properly and re-tied them.

An inexplicable sense of pride and satisfaction welled up in my heart.

After the zipper was finished, Shen Mu stood up and reached out to lift Shi Yiqing's collar to look at the wound: "Do you still feel itchy?"

Shi Yiqing moved his neck and felt it: "Fortunately, I don't feel anything anymore."

During the winter vacation, I went to Beijing to participate in the winter camp and was bitten on the neck by an unknown bug. He didn't care about it, so he just scratched it.

Unexpectedly, it started to break out on the day when he returned home. Scary dense pimples appeared, and then blistered and suppurated. Shen Mu took him to three hospitals before he was cured, leaving a small scar on the back of his neck.

"Call me if you have anything, you know?" Shen Mu said.

Shi Yiqing smiled: "Oh, that's my school, I already know the registration process, and besides, there's the monitor."

Shen Mu thought about it: "Well, you can sign up with Zhang Liang."

The two went out together, but in different directions, so Shi Yiqing went to the bus stop by himself to take the bus.

The registration went smoothly, half a year later, Zhang Liang's height has risen a lot, Shi Yiqing is already half a head shorter than him.

Shi Yiqing didn't have any perception of Shen Mu's absence for this school registration, and even thought it was quite fresh, he could do a lot of things by himself, and making Uncle Shen feel capable was one of the ways he won Uncle Shen's favor.

However, the actual situation is that Uncle Shen is getting more and more busy, opening a factory is not as easy as Shi Yiqing thought.

After Uncle Shen introduced the network resources and successfully got the factory that can be used with simple decoration, there are still many things that Shen Mu needs to do in person.

From not being able to sign up for Shi Yiqing, to being able to give Shi Yiqing money to buy breakfast, to not being able to attend the agreed time for the parents' meeting.

On the morning of the second year of high school, Shi Yiqing looked at the buns on the dining table covered with mosquito nets, stood by the coffee table in a daze for a while, and then walked over to open them.

The buns are already cold.

He just came back from Beijing a few days ago, when Shen Mu picked him up at the airport that day, the T-shirt on his body was stained with engine oil from the factory, it looked like he had rushed over from the workshop.

Shi Yiqing was a little unhappy at that time.

He was not happy because Shen Mu came to pick him up dirty, he knew that Uncle Shen didn't want to do that either, but he was too busy to go home and change his clothes, and he didn't want to make himself wait so he came over in such a hurry.

He still remembered the excited and apologetic look in Shen Mu's eyes at that time.

Shi Yiqing picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, it was the stuffed vegetable stuffing he mentioned yesterday.

The light in the midsummer morning was very bright, coming in from the balcony and hitting the cold steamed buns. Shi Yiqing sat at the dining table and silently ate two cold steamed stuffed buns.

"Ah Qing! Shi Yiqing, are you alright?" Lin Lian yelled downstairs.

Shi Yiqing came back to his senses and shouted: "Right now!"

He ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, directly took out tons of milk and filled half a liter of it, grabbed his schoolbag and ran downstairs.

Uncle Shen has been really busy these two years, so busy that now Shi Yiqing spends most of his time with Squad Leader Lin Lian.

Today is the start of the second year of high school, Shi Yiqing is already 16 years old, and in one year, it will be the tenth year that he and Shen Mu have lived together.

He was riding the bicycle he bought in junior high school, and next to him was Lin Lian who was riding an electric bicycle.

Lin Lian kept his speed as close as possible to Shi Yiqing, and was able to talk, "Why don't you ride a bicycle in the future, you can take my car, it's fast and easy."

Shi Yiqing was so bored: "No more."

Lin Li imitated him: "No more——"

"Oh." Shi Yiqing sighed.

"What's the matter?"

Shi Yiqing adjusted his speed, stepped faster and approached Lin Lian: "Uncle Shen has been really busy recently, I was already asleep when he came back, and he went to the company before I got up."

Lin Lian: "Isn't that about making money? Look at Uncle Shen's new car. Auntie said it cost hundreds of thousands."

So what about a car worth hundreds of thousands, I have no chance to sit in it.

Shi Yiqing still knew that Uncle Shen had made money. His pocket money doubled and the changes in the ingredients at home could explain it.

After parking the car at school, Shi Yiqing and Lin Lian parted ways. They were still not in the same class, and they were getting farther and farther apart.

Shi Yiqing and Zhang Liang have been at the same table for so many years, and it is still effective. At least he can keep entering the key classes in the increasingly competitive middle school environment, while Lin Lian has never been able to get up and down. When he was in high school, his grades were not enough, so he went to ordinary classes. .

The high school and junior high school of No. [-] Middle School are next to each other. Although they use different gates, there is actually an iron net in the middle. On both sides of the iron net are the basketball courts of the junior high school and high school.

Just walk across the basketball court to the first teaching building. Shi Yiqing was lazily climbing the stairs with his schoolbag on one shoulder and no expression on his face.

He and Zhang Liang are still in the same class, but now the seats have been changed to single tables, and he and Zhang Liang are at the front and back tables.

The class was on the third floor, Shi Yiqing was stopped at the corner when he went up to the second floor.

Shi Yiqing's heart tightened, right?

It's a female classmate. She has the impression that this classmate is from the class next door. She seems to be attending the Children's Palace as well. She has met her a few times.

"What's the matter?" Shi Yiqing smiled slightly, but quickly recovered his expressionless face.

The girl wore a high ponytail, very bright and charming, she moved her hands behind her back to the front: "That... can I add you?"

Shi Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he didn't come to deliver the love letter, so he generously gave her the number.

Shi Yiqing didn't know how to appreciate the attractiveness he brought to girls as a boy before, or he was indeed as unattractive as an elementary school chick in junior high school, but from the first year of high school, he was tall and tall, with a clear face a lot.

In addition, he learned to paint, and represented the school many times in the province and even the whole country. He often carried a drawing board to and from school, and went to other provinces to participate in training camps during the winter and summer vacations.

He seemed to talk very little and was dressed nicely. Generally speaking, he seemed to have become a boy who was very close to the first love object in a girl's fantasy.

But before he breathed a sigh of relief, when he picked up his phone and was about to save a note through the girl's friend application, he saw her reason for applying: Can I apply to be your girlfriend?

Shi Yiqing:? ?

The next second, standing in front of the girl who was one step higher than him, Shi Yiqing was so frightened that he covered his face with his hands and took two steps back.

But this is a corridor, Shi Yiqing staggered on the steps and one of them lost his footing, took two big steps back and hit the wall of the stairwell with a bang.

"Shi Yiqing..." The girl looked down at him, with disappointment and shock in her eyes.

Shi Yiqing sat on the ground in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I..."

"Ah Qing? What are you doing?" Zhang Liang just walked up, saw Shi Yiqing fell to the ground and hurried over.

Shi Yiqing didn't know how to tell Zhang Liang why he was sitting on the ground, and looked at the girl on the steps wanting to cry without tears.

Zhang Liang followed Shi Yiqing's gaze, and the girl also reacted, turned around and ran away shyly.

He looked down at Shi Yiqing: "Huh?"

"Well, it's what you think it is."

Zhang Liang was greatly shocked under his thick glasses.

"You were beaten?!"

The author says:

Girl: Two dead straight men! !

Ah Qing: emmmmm...

Monitor: Uh... (scratches head
