Inhabit you as a forest

The dream about Wen Lian is not unfamiliar in these eight years, and has been with her longer than Wen Lian.

Before dawn, Sheng Qi turned on the bedside lamp, not wanting to sleep anymore.I got up and washed my face, and drew on the bed with my tablet in my arms.

On the fabric sofa, a woman in a long skirt with black hair draped over her shoulders lowered her head and eyebrows, her facial features could not be seen clearly, but her charm was extremely beautiful.

Various small elements are added to the painting, such as chocolate, grapes, and dumplings.

The colors are vibrant and full and blend together harmoniously.

Upload the painting to various platforms, rub your eyes, and continue to sleep.

Today Saturday, most people sleep in.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already 10:30. After reading the comments on various platforms, most of them praised her.She replied politely, and it made her feel good to be able to appreciate the paintings.

Woke up and ordered eight dumplings sent by Wen Lian last night.

Sheng Qi is a carnivore, and the fresh meat dumplings made by Han Ruohua are the best for her.She has eaten good dumplings in other places, but they are not as good as this one.

This was sent by Wen Lian.

Although, Wen Lian looked reluctant.

She thought about last night again.

Reunited after a long absence, no familiar greetings, no inquiries about each other's current situation, and no addition of each other's contact information.

Just like ordinary neighbors, sit down, drink water and chat, and then leave.

If anything is unusual, it is the grapes she peeled, which Wen Lian ate.

Compared with the indifference of the previous encounters in the elevator, Wen Lian saved face last night, which was a gesture of goodwill.

court?

Sheng Qi was worried that she was too optimistic and had delusions. She had made such mistakes.

I didn't sleep well last night, so I would have a headache, so I squeezed the space between my brows, picked up my sketchbook and started drawing.

The painting is still Wen Lian, she is not doing business, but thinking about that person endlessly.

Writing carefully, Wen Lian, who was wearing a black and white school uniform jacket, quickly appeared on the paper. Wen Lian was the most likable in her sophomore year of high school.

She sometimes doubts whether what she likes is just Wen Lian who was willing to treat her well at that time.

Later, unwillingness turned into obsession.

It's like wanting to eat something, thinking about it for a long time, and finally getting it in your mouth, you will feel that it is nothing more than that.

Dumped her, didn't care about her for eight years, fell in love with someone else in college, and I don't know if there is Wen Lian who broke up, will she really like it?

do not know.

Most of the troublesome things, relying on thinking, can't figure out why.

Sheng Qi drew all afternoon, legs crossed on the chair, sitting or not.

The doorbell rang again, and this time she didn't hesitate for half a second, and quickly walked to the door without even bothering to put on her shoes.

The person who came was Han Ruohua, Sheng Qi heaved a sigh of relief, but felt disappointed for no reason.

"Aunt Han, come in and sit down, but the house is a bit messy." She looked at the house in embarrassment.

Han Ruohua smiled: "No chaos, it's best for you to live alone comfortably."

There are not many things, but Sheng Qi is used to putting them with his hands, wherever people lie down, things will be placed there.

Books, fruit bowls, sketches, and remote controls are all on the carpet.

"Hey, why don't you wear shoes, it's so cold on the ground."

Sheng Qi chuckled, ran to put on his slippers, and boasted sweetly: "I cooked the dumplings made by Aunt Han at noon, and they are even more delicious than before."

"As long as you like it."

Lemon is worrying too much, people love to eat it.

Han Ruohua was happy when he heard this, and then felt distressed: "Why do you eat dumplings at noon? Do you have anything to do tonight? If you have nothing to do, go to my house for dinner. This Saturday, Ningning is at home, let's have breakfast."

Sheng Qi originally wanted to find another reason to refuse, but after a moment of silence, Han Ruohua sighed softly, "It's been a long time since I saw you, you and your auntie have a relationship. Your grandma used to call me for dinner, if she knew I If I only give you dumplings, I will definitely be blamed."

When she mentioned grandma, Sheng Qi's eyes softened.

Grandma is kind, and used to say that their orphans and widows are distressing, and she treats Han Ruohua and Wen Lian sincerely.

In fact, it is not good for the elderly to care too much about others. Sometimes they have come out of the shadows, but they pretend to be affectionate to sympathize with them, which is embarrassing.

For example, Sheng lives in the countryside, obviously living a carefree life, eating and drinking without worries.But there are always a bunch of inexplicable people, holding her hand, saying that this child has no mother, no father, it's so pitiful.

Sheng Qi: "..."

Every time she has black lines all over her head, she didn't realize that she was so pitiful at first, and she was completely understood by those kind people.

There is no need to expose people's scars like this.

But they are not satisfied with saying it once, so they say it once they see each other.

Last month, she went back to see her two aunts. She has grown up so much, and her aunt's mother-in-law is still talking about those words.

It was very hard for Sheng Qi to keep smiling. Seeing the old lady wipe her tears while talking, she didn't know whether to continue smiling.

But grandma is not that annoying, she only said in front of her that she should take care of the opposite door, and she would never talk too much in front of Aunt Han and Wen Lian.

Whether Wen Lian wants to see her or not, rejecting Aunt Han at this moment will definitely hurt her heart.

So Sheng Qi smiled: "Okay, I'll go."

"That's right. School hasn't started yet, and I'm free at home. Cooking a meal for two is no different from cooking for three. You will often come to eat in the future, so don't be polite."

"Okay." Sheng Qi absorbed the long-lost warmth from it, and he couldn't help but want it.

After Han Ruohua finished speaking, he paused, and said softly, "You and Ningning haven't seen each other for a few years, so we have nothing to talk about. You also know Ningning's character. I am very relieved outside, and I can go to school and work steadily. But I just don’t like to make friends, if she makes you unhappy, you can tolerate her and don’t get angry with her.”

Sheng Qi finally heard Han Ruohua's real intention of coming, and he was still worried that Wen Lian's friend would be lonely as before.So let her take the initiative to play with Wen Lian.

She didn't know what to say.

If Han Ruohua knew back then that what she was playing with Wen Lian was something inappropriate for children, she would probably never let her get close to Wen Lian again.

She and Wen Lian knew very well that they couldn't be like before, and they couldn't go back a long time ago.

But Han Ruohua didn't seem to know it, thinking that they didn't keep in touch because their relationship had faded, and they just got along now.

"Okay, Aunt Han."

Sheng Qi could only say this, and she couldn't bear to refuse.

Han Ruohua is meticulous in being a mother, and she is unwilling to lose Wen Lian spiritually and materially. Sheng Qi once envied Wen Lian for having such a mother.

Although grandma loves her very much, it is different after all. She has never seen her mother.

Han Ruohua sat down again, chatted for a few words before going back to prepare dinner, and asked Sheng Qi to clean up and go home.

Grandma said that you can't wait for someone to cook the meal before sitting down and eating it.

Sheng Qi quickly changed his clothes, went to the neighborhood supermarket to buy some fruit, took the tea from his friend, and knocked on the door next door.

It was Wen Lian who came to open the door, and calmly invited her in. At her feet was a small, fat Fadou.With a milky white face and a black right ear, he looks like a "violent dog", but he doesn't bark.

Wen Lian relayed: "Mom said, you are not allowed to bring things in."

"The tea was given to me by a friend. I don't drink tea, I just put it to waste. I bought all the fruit, let's put it here, and wash and eat it later." Sheng Qi handed the things to her directly, and bent over to put on the slippers.

She said one thing after another, Wen Lian didn't say anything more, but looked a little sad.

When Sheng Qi came to her house in the past, it wouldn't be like this.

The memory of being a guest at Wen Lian's house is always a happy one, even if it is accompanied by the sound of pages turning and pens writing on paper, but because of Wen Lian, Sheng Qi can accept it.

She once thought that there would never be a chance to come in again in this life, and Wen Lian would not want to see her.

But now, they act like nothing happened.

Wen Lian went to pour water and get a drink, Sheng Qi went to the kitchen to greet Han Ruohua, to see if he could help, but was kicked out.That's right, she can only do a disservice.

So he and Wen Lian looked at each other in the living room.

Wen Lian was wearing simple home clothes, her hair tied back, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, making her look extremely bookish.

She specially took a can of iced Sprite, she still remembered that Sheng Qi liked carbonated drinks.

Sheng Qi said "Thank you" politely, looked down at the dog, and asked Wen Lian while teasing the dog, "What's its name?"

The dog looked foolish, and the owner was beside him, yet he ran to rub against the legs of strangers.

I don't even know about being abducted.

"Xiaoqi."

Sheng Qi: "..."

Wen Lian added slowly: "The number seven."

Sheng Qi made a sound, patted Fa Dou's head, and squeezed out a tolerant smile.

I have never seen such a humiliating person, one day she will also have a dog, named Ling Ling.

Then seriously emphasize: "The number zero is not a lemon."

They were speechless to each other, Wen Lian sat upright to accompany the guests, and when her mother asked her to accompany her, she was really just a companion.

Sheng Qi drank Sprite to enjoy the dog by himself. To be honest, Fa Dou didn't match the temperament of Wen Lian's mother and daughter, nor did it match this family.

This suite has a large area and was designed by a professional interior designer. It reveals a scholarly family style everywhere, combined with modern elements.

But this dog looks silly.

Finally, Sheng Qi's cell phone vibrated and temporarily rescued her from the cold hole Wen Lian had dug.

She glanced at the caller, and immediately went to see if Wen Lian was paying attention to her.Did not answer immediately, went to the balcony.

The slight expression fell into Wen Lian's eyes, and she saw the word guilty.

Why did you look at her like that just now, did your girlfriend call you?Then there's no need to feel guilty, just accept it.

The puppy chased it to the balcony for a walk, but Sheng Qi didn't have time to pay attention to it, so it ran back to Wen Lian's lap.

Wen Lian looked at it seriously, it seemed to be in a good mood.

I don't care about you anymore, why are you so excited, what a fool, people can trick you away without waving.

Following Sheng Qi's technique just now, she patted Xiao Qi's head.
