Hearing that the two planned to go out to play and not come back at noon, Han Ruohua was very supportive and smiled comfortably.

"Okay, young people are going out to play on weekends. Shall I see you off?"

Sheng Qi and Wen Lian shook their heads at the same time.

Even Xiao Qi let out a small "bark", and Sheng Qi silently translated from the bottom of his heart: "Go away!"

Han Ruohua understood, and said, "Take a taxi and pay attention to safety outside."

When talking about the arrangement with Han Ruohua, Sheng Qi was beating a small drum in his heart.She always felt that it was difficult to take Wen Lian away from her mother's eyes.

She lived across the street from the high school, and she usually went there, and occasionally called Wen Lian to play at her home, so Han Ruohua hesitated.

And each time there will be a time limit, mostly 10 minutes, and a longer time will only be given when the study tasks are completed on weekends or when the exam is good.

Finally, they have grown into big children, can live a normal life, relax, and don't need to be overwhelmed by the word "achievement".

In the taxi, Han Ruohua sent a transfer of 1000 yuan.

She asked Wen Lian in surprise: "How old are you, take you out to play, and your mother will give you a subsidy."

Sheng Qi's tone was relaxed, but Wen Lian suddenly became annoyed, and pressed her heart: "Leave her alone."

Her mother likes to do things that she thinks she loves and takes care of her, so that she can't get down.

The same is true when she is with Wen Xu or Wan Yuduo. Every time the two of them complain, Wen Lian happily listens to her and speaks for them.

But Sheng Qi hasn't been with her mother for decades, nor has she experienced the feeling of being nagged and interfered by her mother, so she can't empathize with her like Wen Xu and Wan Yuduo.

She didn't show her anger, so as not to worry and displease Sheng Qi.

Sheng Xike politely refused.

Han Ruohua explained that Wen Lian usually stays at home and doesn't like to go out, so going out for a trip is too rare.So she is happy, count her as a treat.

Although the amount was small, Sheng Qi definitely couldn't accept it.

She stepped back, "Aunt Han, it's really unnecessary, we can't spend so much. And you treat me to dinner every day, so it's my turn to treat today."

She didn't pay attention to Wen Lian's resistance, and she was secretly envious, that's how children are missed by their mothers.I have been working for several years, and I have extra subsidies when I go out on weekends.

When grandma was around, she sometimes scolded her father, saying "this dead child".

At that time, she thought it was fun, as if no matter how old she was, she was still a child in front of her parents.

What's more, Wen Lian is only 25 now, and has been taken care of and protected by her mother since she was a child, she is a delicate baby.

Although she is envious, it is not completely inexperienced.

Although Sheng Guangming didn't like her and wasn't as careful as a mother, he still had her as his daughter in his heart.It is very generous to transfer money to her regularly.

He always felt that Sheng Qi was wasting his life by not going to work every day, and he couldn't make much money by painting those broken paintings, so it would be good if he didn't starve to death.

From now on, Xu Tongtong's house and shop will definitely be owned by Xu Tongtong, and it will not be Shengqi's turn, so within the scope of Xu Tongtong's mother's acquiescence and acceptance, he wants to give the eldest daughter some money.

After drinking, he often speaks the truth, and the truth is ugly. Once, in front of the whole family, he drunkenly said to Sheng Qi:

"You, don't worry about it now, you still have to find a rich man in the future. Otherwise, when I die, who is willing to give you money? You are a surname Sheng, who can you count on here? A good place to sleep."

"Yujiang is also unreliable. Your aunts have sons and grandchildren. They really love you. Are you willing to support you? I didn't give you most of the money your grandma saved. After the funeral, I said it will be divided equally. One said no? It’s not easy.”

At that time, Xu Tongtong's mother and her uncle's family had ugly faces, and none of them could laugh.

Sheng Qi could only smile and say, "Dad is drunk again."

But she knew it was true.

The trouble is, she has no interest in a rich man who can marry.The rich woman didn't fall in love with her, and the good things were taken away by the big beauties.

Fortunately, she can support herself, and she is not as useless as Sheng Guangming thinks.

She has been back for so long and has never set foot in this area.

Because this was the first time she and Wen Lian watched a movie, she couldn't hear the name before, and her heart ached when she heard it.

Sheng Qi took the coffee he had ordered in advance, but he didn't bring Wen Lian into the mall, which was boring.

This area was not considered prosperous when they were in middle school, and now it looks older than the urban area, with minimal changes.

On the seven turns and eight turns of the nearby streets, I found a second-hand bookstore.The name is simple and unpretentious, it is called "Bookstore". The store is small and faces north, so it is not very eye-catching from the outside.

When I went in, I found that the space inside was larger than it looked from the outside. There were rows of wooden bookshelves, and the whole picture could not be seen at a glance.

Sheng Qi told Wen Lian that she saw this store on the Internet, and it became popular after being checked in by a writer.

The owner of the bookstore is a middle-aged man, lean and capable, not tall.The facial features are relatively upright, with a bookish air.

The attitude is not enthusiastic, but it is very natural, like friends who have known each other for many years, and said "Morning, here we are" to them.

Sheng Qi responded with a smile: "Here we come."

They arrived early and there were very few customers in the store.

Instead of sitting at the long table, they found a place for the two of them by the window, and put down the coffee and bags.

After shopping around, Wen Lian fell in love with this store, which is like a pure land opened up in a modern city for people to relax.

Sheng Qi took advantage of Wen Lian raising his arm to pick up the book, and secretly took a picture of her with his mobile phone.

This is the second time she has secretly photographed Wen Lian. The last time was a nap together.Later, when I made up my mind not to meet each other, but still missed Wen Lian, I watched that every day.

The cover design of these old books with a sense of age is more attentive than the bestsellers in bookstores. Sheng Qi is interested in the pictures, while Wen Lian pays more attention to the content.

She opened a book, and there was the author's signature on the title page, and there were neat and interesting annotations by predecessors on the content.

Her eyes lit up.

Sheng Qi knew he had come to the right place.

She doesn't read much and can't be quiet, but Wen Lian likes to be quiet and read.

Today's bookstores are noisier than Internet cafes on weekends, and they have a strong commercial atmosphere, where all the food and drink are served, without the atmosphere of a bookstore.Even Wen Lian would not like to go shopping.

So yesterday she searched deliberately and found this store.

The sun is warm, the street outside the window is old, the trees are tall and bleak, and young people on bicycles occasionally pass by.

Sheng Qi held a history book about the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and without reading a few lines, he looked at the atmosphere inside the store and the scenery outside the store, looking for painting materials.

Wen Lian was immersed in the book, and couldn't put it down and said, "I want to buy this book."

Sheng Qi responded, "Buy a few more copies."

The original purpose of opening such a bookstore must not be profit, but mostly for sentimentality, and it is good to support it.

While Wen Lian was reading, Sheng Qi selected a few restaurants on his mobile phone, planning to let Wen Lian decide what to eat.

After ten o'clock, the number of customers in the store increased, and the noise was loud and broken.

Someone dressed up exquisitely, brought a camera with a friend, and came here to pose for a photo.

There are also regular customers who have a good relationship with the boss, so we chatted.

There are also young couples who neither read books nor take pictures, but sit together tired and crooked, "envious of others".

The seats are full, and many people can only stand or sit cross-legged on the ground to watch, but they seem quite comfortable.

Wen Lian was not affected and continued to read her book.

She became more and more quiet amidst the commotion.

Sheng Qi thought of the book she had lent him, "The Lonely Game", could it be a hint?

Wen Lian is a lonely person. Before she came back, according to Han Ruohua, she didn't like to go out.

In other words, except for four years in college, Wen Lian has lived in this city for 21 years without a single friend.

I'm afraid it was the same for those four years in college. Has she always been in this kind of loneliness and loneliness?

If this is the case, at that time, it is actually a good thing that there is someone beside her who makes her willing to fall in love.

I don't know how long their relationship lasted and how much warmth and energy they gave Wen Lian.

But during that time, Wen Lian was happy and fulfilled, enjoying flowers, traveling, taking selfies, and sending them to Moments for others to see.Enjoy it as you are now.

Sheng Qi was suddenly relieved.

Once the problem is looked at from another angle, it will be much friendlier.

Immediately, a pair of shoes appeared in Sheng Qi's eyes, the toes of which were facing their table.

Are you here to find them?

Looking up, I found that the man was only looking at Wen Lian, and bent down to say hello softly: "Miss Wen."

Wen Lian seemed to know her, and was a little surprised, "Miss Wan, you are here too."

Ten thousand?Does it have anything to do with the same surname as cousin Wen Lian?

But shouting so strangely, it doesn't look like a relative.

"This store belongs to my uncle. I come to visit him every weekend. I didn't expect Miss Wen to be here today."

Wen Lian's affection for the store was high enough, and after hearing her words, her face became much gentler.

"It's my first time here, the store is very good, and the books are also good."

That Miss Wan leaned over and turned her head to look at the cover of the book in her hand, "I flipped through half of this book before, and I really like it, but it's a pity that this is the only one, and my uncle is reluctant to give it to me. I can't even buy it. Let more people read it."

Wen Lian smiled when he heard the words: "I should thank the boss."

"It's because I have a relationship with Miss Wen, and I have similar preferences in book selection. If this book can be collected by Miss Wen, I won't regret it even if I don't get it. "

What is "destiny"?

Sheng Qi couldn't take it anymore.But I have to admit that this sister can chat, and her words make people want to listen.

Wen Lian looked up at her, "Thank you."

"Did Miss Wen come here alone?"

"With my friends."

Sheng Qi thought she wasn't wearing an invisibility cloak either.

It's normal for readers to join tables for a long time. In addition, Wen Lian kept his head buried in the book and didn't talk to Sheng Qi, so Wan Yunsi didn't pay attention.

She nodded and smiled at Sheng Qi, and said to Wen Lian: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. I wanted to invite Miss Wen to have lunch. Since my friend is here, I can't bother you. Tomorrow is Sunday. Is Miss Wen free?" "

"I have arrangements for tomorrow, sorry."

Wen Lian politely refused, "Miss Wan, sharing experience is easy."

Wan Yunsi has mentioned more than once that he wants to invite her to dinner.

Most of their chats so far have been about exams.She occasionally greets Wen Lian with a good sense of distance.

She is Wen Xu's good friend, her family background is not bad, and her social status in the circle of friends is not low.

Wen Lian thought she was not in the same world before, but when I met her today, she was wearing casual clothes and chatting about second-hand books.Stereotypes have changed.

Wan Yunsi said sincerely: "Even if it's Miss Wen's effort, I don't want to neglect it. Since Miss Wen has arrangements, we can discuss the time in another day. I won't bother Miss Wen and her friends to read."

Before leaving, he gave Sheng Qi a dignified and generous smile.

Sheng Qi smiled back politely.

Wen Lian continued to look down at the book.

Sheng Qi found out that maybe she didn't understand Wen Lian's life.

For example, she doesn't know Wen Lian, her friend, or her colleagues.

Although she knew that the days ahead would be long and she would have time to understand slowly, her little depression was like a mosquito going crazy, biting her several times one after another.

At eleven o'clock, Sheng Qi reminded Wen Lian to leave and go to the restaurant earlier, as there would be a lot of people waiting in line.

"If you like it, come back tomorrow."

Wen Lian had this in mind, and when she asked her to talk, she asked, "Is it okay?"

Sheng Qi nodded: "Why can't it, the store can't run away, so I'll come here after a taxi."

"Will you accompany me?" It was easy to come here, but she hoped that Sheng Qi would accompany her.

There are many readers and idlers in the bookstore, if she comes alone, she must be uncomfortable.But Sheng Qi sat across from her, even if she was playing with her mobile phone, she still felt safe and could devote herself to the book.

Even when Wan Yunsi came to chat with her with such a casual acquaintance, she was not cautious and responded indifferently.

"Of course." Ask silly words again, let's go together.

Wen Lian took four books to check out, and Wan Yunsi sat behind the counter with her uncle.He got up and said, "I will come here often in the future. You don't need to buy books, just read for nothing."

Her uncle is a lovely person, and he smiles at Sheng Qi.

"Yes." Wen Lian said goodbye to her.

After going out, Sheng Qi asked, "Who is that Miss Wan?"

"Sister Wen Xu's friend."

"A relative in her family was preparing for the exam. She didn't remember it until she met me. Sister Wen Xu once lied to someone, saying that I was a top student and would pass every exam. So she added my contact information and communicated several times."

Wen Lian told her in detail.

"Oh, that's it." Wen Xu's friend... Sheng Qi didn't have a good feeling when he heard these two words.

"Wen Xu is not a fool. You are a top student, and you can pass any exam."

Wen Lian didn't feel proud: "If you memorize it by rote, you get more exams."

Sheng Qi said a few words, then changed the subject, "I feel that Miss Wan is a nice person, and she pays close attention to you."

"Unfamiliar." Wen Lian made no comment.

Sheng Qi crushed a leaf: "If I wasn't here today, would you go to dinner with her?"

No matter how slow Wen Lian's reaction was, he could sense what she meant.

The corners of the mouth curled up, "No, my mother said, you can't get too close to strangers."

"My sister's friend is not a stranger."

Wen Lian held her arm, "I don't care about anyone's friends."

Sheng Qi was coaxed to satisfaction.

Wen Lian said again: "I only care about you."

"I only like you,"
