Inhabit you as a forest

Sheng Qi spends a whole day changing the draft. It is hard to say how hateful Party A is, but as a stubborn worker, she absolutely cannot say no.

Too busy to eat dinner, it was already seven o'clock when she was free, her stomach ached from hunger, so she went to the kitchen to cook the remaining dumplings.

Before leaving Yujiang, she didn't know how to cook dumplings, and the first time she put them in the pot they were not cooked.

But fools grow up too!

The fresh meat dumplings were so delicious that she gave herself a thumbs up, even though the one who really wanted to praise was Han Ruohua.

After cleaning up the kitchen, she idly squatted in front of the door for 5 minutes.

The doorbell never rang.

She slowed her breathing, creating a suffocating silence.

She felt like an hourglass, a certain silent emotion permeated downwards with the force of gravity, and re-gathered in another space to pile up new emotions.

The people I met this morning don't have much to say.

What broke the silence was a phone call from a family member. My aunt will come to town tomorrow and ask her to meet her cousin at her cousin's house tomorrow morning.

Sheng Qi happily agreed, thinking that he could have two more meals.

As if she was really afraid that she would drown in the silence, WeChat also rang.

Xu Tongtong sent a message saying that when he came to Yujiang during the November holiday, he wanted to visit the place where Sheng Qi lived and grew up.

After the holiday trip, she came to Yujiang with her, and Sheng Qi wanted to take her back to the countryside, to visit her grandma's grave, and see her relatives again.She doesn't want to, she finds it troublesome, Sheng Qi can understand, after all, they are all strangers to her.

But he changed his mind so quickly, Sheng Qi also admired it.

The doorbell still didn't ring, and there was no movement on WeChat.

When Sheng Qi was bored, he finally thought of practicing calligraphy. One stroke at a time, he wrote his own name and Wen Lian's name until it was time to sleep.

After a good night's sleep, after packing up and going out the next day, I happened to meet Wen Lian at work, and the two of them were waiting for the elevator side by side.

Sheng Qi was willing to be a polite person, so he took the initiative to say hello: "Morning."

Last time, at the same time and place, she didn't wait for the word "early", Sheng Qi pretended not to know her.

Sheng Qi was dressed casually that day, and it seemed that he only went out to throw garbage.

But today was different. Sheng Qi put on light makeup, carried a fashionable bag, and wore a dress with nude-colored stiletto high heels. He was half a head taller than Wen Lian.

Wen Lian took in her meticulous attire, "It's so early, are you going to have breakfast?"

Sheng Qi denied it with a smile: "No, my aunt came to the city to see her."

"Oh."

Although Sheng Qi's smile was standard gentle and indifferent, Wen Lian had no time to worry about it, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Walking into the elevator, Sheng Qi asked her, "It's so early for work?"

"From 08:30 to [-]:[-], take a lunch break for two and a half hours." Wen Lian finished in one step.

"That's pretty easy, the gods work."

"Ah."

Why do you do this job? Is it because you want to stay in Yujiang with Han Ruohua, or because you like the environment of the library?

Sheng Qi tried to continue asking, but forced himself to hold back.She is always curious about Wen Lian, but she doesn't want to offend Wen Lian.

Many years ago, she also thought that her curiosity was within Wen Lian's acceptable range, because Wen Lian cooperated every time.But in the end, Wen Lian said impatiently that he didn't want to know each other any more.

At that time, she was useless in front of Wen Lian.

Wen Lian misunderstood her character, and accused her of not thinking about making progress and only thinking about me and me, scolding her for being loved by her family but never being considerate... Sheng Qi thinks that the most important thing is that she caused Wen Lian to fall from the first place in the grade.

Although Sheng Qi tried his best to take many steps towards her, he finally retreated quickly under these accusations.

When she first went to Province Y, whenever she missed grandma and Wen Lian, she wished she could escape back to Yujiang.

But grandma passed away, and Wen Lian didn't want to see her anymore, and Yujiang became her hometown that she couldn't go back to.

At that time, there was only half a semester left in the third year of high school. She thought that Wen Lian needed to adjust to her original study status, and she had no time to talk to her.

The meeting before they parted was so unpleasant that she was dying of anger, and she didn't want to and couldn't call back.

Time is the medicine that heals everything, or in other words, time does not have the function of healing, it only makes people numb and get used to a new life.

Sheng Qi finally stopped thinking about contacting Wen Lian, and didn't plan to go back to Yujiang again.

Repeated studies, four years of university, busy supporting herself after graduation, trivial but necessary things enrich her every day.

And at night, in the dream, Yujiang City at the age of 17 still has the lingering sound of rain, the cold scent of osmanthus, and black and white school uniforms all over the campus.

It took her seven or eight years, but she still couldn't go out.

One day she woke up from a dream, and it was raining outside the window, and she made up her mind to go back to Yujiang in the dark.The thought was sudden and firm, as if temporarily planning to order a cup of milk tea.

Here are her memories of her grandma, her aunt and the cousins ​​who grew up with her. If you are lucky, you can say hello to Wen Lian calmly.

She didn't make any other plans, it's fine now.

Sheng Qi originally wanted to take a taxi, but when she accompanied Wen Lian to the gate of the community, she changed her mind and waited for the bus with Wen Lian.

Wen Lian asked her where she was going, learned the name of the community, and said that it would be more convenient to take a taxi.

She said she just wanted to take the bus.

Wen Lian seemed to be used to her waywardness, so she changed her mind and reminded Sanlu that she could arrive.

Sheng Qi checked the route, "Well, let's go the same way, the city library is only three stops away, very close."

"Yes, the advantage of moving here is that the commute time is shortened."

Although Han Ruohua has a car, she works as a homeroom teacher and goes to work early, so Wen Lian takes the bus by herself every day.

Sheng Qi said politely: "I haven't been to the city library yet, I'll go to read a book someday when I'm free."

"it is good."

"why are you laughing?"

"No."

During rush hour, bus No. 3 runs every 10 minutes. Sheng Qi and Wen Lian got on the bus, scanned the QR code and walked back.There were no seats at this time, and the two found a comfortable area to stand.

Sheng Qi helped Wen Lian separate from the noisy crowd, making sure that she stayed in a comfortable corner where no one could squeeze her.

"I know what you're laughing at. You must think that a scumbag like me can't read books, and going to the library is a waste of time."

Wen Lian definitely wouldn't say such harsh words, but thinking that the books in Sheng Qi's bookcase were almost untouched, she didn't open her mouth to argue.

"Any book recommendations?" Sheng Qi didn't want to be laughed at all the time, so he changed the subject.

Wen Lian: "Recently I'm reading a collection of short stories by Taiwanese writer Yuan Zhesheng."

"Okay, I'll watch."

During the rush hour, the cars stopped and stopped, because the taxi in front stopped suddenly, and there was a near rear-end collision.The people in the car didn't stand still, swayed, cursed everywhere, and Sheng Qi was hit a few times.

Fortunately, she grasped it firmly, it was not affected much, and Wen Lian was not squeezed.

Wen Lian's expression was suddenly serious, a look Sheng Qi had rarely seen.

She was wearing a black shirt and light-colored trousers today, and when her expression changed, her aura became fierce.

Reaching out to lightly touch Sheng Qi's shoulder that was hit by someone, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Sheng Qi kept silent to collect the tension in her eyes, feeling that she was pulling himself towards her.

The sudden close distance made her uncomfortable, and she vaguely knew where the source of her discomfort lay.

She felt her emotions quietly until Wen Lian got out of the car until the emotions passed.
