Inhabit you as a forest

Sheng Qi went out after taking a nap. The location of the community is good, the traffic is convenient, and there is a bus stop at the door.During off-peak hours, she prefers to take the bus rather than take a taxi.

When she arrived at the coffee shop 15 minutes after getting on the bus, Liu Chengjuan was already waiting for her inside.

Liu Chengjuan and Sheng Qi are in the same village and the same age. They are in the same school for elementary school, junior high school and even high school.

But Liu Chengjuan has excellent grades, studies hard, and doesn't have as much free time as Shengqi to make friends and hang out.So the two of them are not considered good friends, and they are a little more familiar than ordinary classmates.

Returning to Yujiang, Sheng Qi did not contact any old friends, and Liu Chengjuan was the only person she met.

Liu Chengjuan graduated a year earlier than Sheng Qi, who was repeating his studies, and has been struggling in the society for three years, with great changes.He looks easier to get along with than before, talkative and smooth, relatively more mature.

After sitting down, she talked and laughed a few words, then she asked Sheng Qi: "How are you doing recently, are you getting along well with her?"

"Not as bad as I thought, but not much better."

Wen Lian's attitude was much more relaxed than the last time they met, and she was more patient than they were on the phone two years ago.

But it didn't explain anything, and she wasn't optimistic because of it.

It's easy for adults to learn to pretend to be polite, but acting like nothing happened is often trickier than reacting.

She didn't know what Wen Lian was thinking.

Sheng Qi is very curious, and always gives priority to new products when ordering.But the new products are often unsatisfactory, the more the coffee is poured into the mouth, the more ferocious the expression becomes, which makes Liu Chengjuan laugh.

"Is she single now?"

Speaking of this, Sheng Qi's eyes brightened, "Single. It's a pity that the man didn't go with her."

Liu Chengjuan took a sip of his coffee and asked Sheng Qi to come out today. The man wanted to inquire about Sheng Qi's situation domineeringly.She recalled the things related to Sheng Qi from childhood to adulthood, and commented that she was "a child who knew nothing about the world".

She could see that Sheng Qi had grown up, and things began to hang in his previously carefree eyes. The word "ignorant of the world" may no longer suit her, but her personality has not completely changed.

For example, at this moment, when I learned that the person I liked before was single again, in addition to pure joy, I actually felt like a joke that my ex had lost money.It doesn't matter that Wen Lian once liked others but died without a problem.

Liu Chengjuan asked again: "Are you sure she has a boyfriend?"

She would rather Sheng Qi misunderstood.

It was about Wen Lian, of course Sheng Qi was sure.

"I went to the university to participate in the competition and met her high school monitor. I talked to her about Wen Lian obliquely, and she told me."

"How did she know? Did Wen Lian tell her personally?"

Sheng Qi shook his head, realizing that it might be a misunderstanding that Cheng Juan wanted to comfort her.

"Wen Lian has a low desire to share and rarely posts updates, but he posted diligently during that time. There were few texts, mostly pictures, and occasionally videos. I had a great time taking pictures of eating, drinking, and scenery."

"She traveled with that boy for half a month during the summer vacation. Wen Lian took a picture of his tall and thin back, and he took a picture of Wen Lian's quiet and beautiful side face. They leaned together and took selfies wearing sunglasses. The copywriting was 'Leave you again Come closer'."

"She also posted a video, standing on the balcony of the hotel to take pictures of the night view of the ancient town. It was very popular. At the end, the man shouted 'Ningling' behind her, her nickname."

It is rare for Sheng Qi to not be able to laugh, and she tells people the evidence one by one almost indifferently, and Cheng Juan is her first listener.

And for hundreds of days and nights before, she spent alone chewing on the fact that Wen Lian had someone else by her side.

To be honest, she didn't have much mood swings.

It's all in the past, and it's not worth taking seriously.

Liu Chengjuan's mood sank into the sea, "Have you seen those pictures and videos with your own eyes?"

"Yes, I had the cheek to watch it with their squad leader."

"You are so cruel to yourself." Just thinking about it made her chest tight.

"It's okay." Sheng Qi reluctantly bent his lower lip, but his eyes were dark.

While watching, she couldn't restrain her trembling, but she still suppressed it.Continue to smile and gossip with Wen Lian's classmate, who was once the first in grade, and after reading it, he didn't believe it until he completely gave up.

Wen Lian really fell in love with someone else, and Wen Lian didn't want her anymore.

At that time, she didn't add Wen Lian's new contact information. Wen Lian had a boyfriend, so she shouldn't show up again. Her existence was not good for Wen Lian.

"Then you..." Liu Chengjuan organized his words, "Do you really not care?"

Sheng Qi lowered his head to play with the metal spoon, and walked away on his own.

The air-conditioning in the store is not turned on enough, making it stuffy, and the table is decorated with flowers and old-style lamps.

She reached out to turn on the lamp.

The lamp is real. Although the light can't illuminate anything, at least it has a warm color.

She didn't know if she heard the question, but instead of answering, she asked Liu Chengjuan: "Tell me, can a straight woman bend again? Is the degree of difficulty high?"

The worst outcome she imagined is: Wen Lian will only find a boyfriend in the future.

After all, Wen Lian was not interested in girls at first, and she coaxed and lied to her to do a lot of cross-border things.

When they met for the last time, Sheng Qi asked her if she regretted knowing herself.

She didn't answer.

As before, Sheng Qi was infinitely curious about Wen Lian.

Thinking in another way, if she chooses to give up on someone for various reasons, and then falls in love with someone else.Then in the single state, the previous person suddenly appeared, what kind of attitude would she use to face it?

Liu Chengjuan was speechless to Sheng Qi's question, "I don't know."

Sheng Qi was keenly aware of her unhappiness, so she didn't say anything, of course she knew that she was not up to date.

"Before we left Yujiang, we had a quarrel. She was very disappointed in me, and I was also disappointed in her... But I won't talk about the past. Do you think she doesn't reject me now, doesn't resist but doesn't take the initiative? ,for what?"

It's good for Wen Lian to listen to Han Ruohua's words, but it didn't matter if she had many friends before, but now from her point of view, she doesn't need to listen at all.As long as she shows disgust towards herself, Han Ruohua will not force her.

It was her overly calm attitude that misunderstood Han Ruohua and made Sheng Qi unable to see through.

In the first few encounters, Sheng Qi ignored her, and she treated Sheng Qi as a stranger.

If you feed her grapes, she will eat them.

Give her a painting, and she wants it too.

Leave the earphones on purpose, she will come to deliver them.

Even when Sheng Qi dared to touch her hand, she accepted it.

These temptations, Wen Lian sent out good signals, but for Sheng Qi, they were not enough to reassure her.

Liu Chengjuan seemed to be in a worse mood because of her question, and his voice was a little stiff: "You have the answer in your heart."

"You mean, she doesn't mind playing with me again?"

Her expression was cautious, and she asked cautiously, as if this sentence was a great secret, and someone would suffer if she said it.

Liu Chengjuan wanted to nod, but said nice words: "Since she liked you before, it means that she is not so straight. If you still have fate, she is very likely to like you again. Now, maybe she didn't think about it?"

Sheng Qi didn't know whether she believed her when she heard her painting a cake for herself, and lowered her eyes and said, "I forgot, Cheng Juan, you are a straight daughter, so it's hard for you to analyze my affairs."

A trace of confusion flashed across Liu Chengjuan's face, and after a short silence, he denied it lightly: "No."

"I never said I was straight."

Sheng Qi smiled suddenly: "..." The spoon fell on the table.

In the winter of the third year of high school, grandma passed away in a hurry, and it was completely over with Wen Lian.After leaving Yujiang, she deliberately started over, changed her mobile phone number, and no longer logged in to the dating software.

It took several years to get in touch with Cheng Juan, and their relationship was not close, and they hadn't even met each other before this year.

She thought Cheng Juan was different from her.

There are so many bends, even in college, they are considered open-minded, and I haven't heard of many bends.

Liu Chengjuan recalled that year: "Speaking of it, you are my first teacher."

Sheng Qi called her decisively: "Wait, you're not going to say you had a crush on me, are you?"

During the questioning, he touched the bag beside him with his left hand.As long as Liu Chengjuan nodded, she would quickly flee the scene to avoid her death.

Even Cheng Juan is a beautiful beauty.

"Miss Sheng, take back your confidence." Liu Chengjuan persuaded her with a sincere expression.

Sheng Qi patted his heart: "Thank you, I was scared to death."

Liu Chengjuan explained: "I was at your house and I saw you kissing Wen Lian."

"What else?" Sheng Qi stared.

"I didn't feel embarrassed to watch it at the time, but I didn't feel disgusted in my heart. When I went back and thought about it, I found it was beautiful, and I was a little envious. Since then, the love I imagined is always with girls."

Well, then she was already curvy, she just woke up late.

Sheng Qi didn't rush to gossip about her emotional experience, but looked at her expectantly: "Can you describe in detail the picture of me kissing Wen Lian?"

Liu Chengjuan had never heard of such a request, and tactically leaned back: "What are you doing?"

Sheng Qi pursed his lips, "Let me recollect it."

"..." Instead, Liu Chengjuan touched the bag, ready to escape at any time.

She looked at Sheng Qi with analysis in her eyes, this sister has probably been alone for too long, and her psychology has changed.

Sheng Qi could see what she was thinking, "A little bit."

After dinner, Sheng Qi was not in a hurry, and still planned to take the bus back.Asked how she answered, Liu Chengjuan said vaguely: "A friend came to pick me up."

Sheng Qi was curious: "Girlfriend?"

"No." The tone was sure.

Sheng Qi was dubious, but said goodbye in a measured manner: "Okay, goodbye."

"Say it at home."

Not long after Sheng Qi left, Liu Chengjuan waited to pick up her car, and the woman driving the car said playfully, "Did you have fun with your 'kid who doesn't know much about the world'?"

"happy."

In front of her, Liu Chengjuan was far from relaxing in front of Sheng Qi, he didn't talk much, and answered whatever he asked.

After she answered this sentence, the woman driving the car sneered, "Just be happy."

She laughed so much that people panicked, Liu Chengjuan had no choice but to explain: "It's just a friend."

"Well, having multiple friends isn't a bad thing."

The topic was deliberately covered, "Go to my house to sleep at night, it will be convenient for you to go to work tomorrow."

She was not in a discussing tone, Liu Chengjuan could only nod: "Yes."

Outside the car window, the lights and stars are rippling in front of my eyes, like a sharp knife cutting the night and clouds into pieces.

His face was indistinct in the light, and his body was hidden in the darkness.

Sheng Qi sat in the last row of the bus. There were not many passengers on this route at night, so she could enjoy the Yujiang River quietly.

The streets are strange, and the people are even stranger.

Strange to say, two months after she came back, except for Wen Lian who often ran into each other because she lived close by, she had never met an old person on the street.

The night wind blew over the window glass and hit her all over the face, her bangs were messy.

The wind does not live for people, does not breathe for people, and blindly lifts her well-covered forehead.A two-finger-wide scar was hidden inside. Although it wasn't hideous, it was incompatible with the surrounding skin.

Sheng Qi stretched out his hand to caress the scar, and then straightened his hair, his expression remained unchanged.

The scar has nothing to do with Yu Jiang. In the first year of going to Province Y, an accident left a memory for her.

She is grateful that the scar is on the forehead and not on the face, otherwise she would have to wear makeup every day.

After thinking about it, I feel that it is not certain, and if I really leave it on my face, I may have more courage after getting used to it, and I am not afraid to show it to others.

What was Wen Lian doing at that time?Without the entanglement of troublesome ghosts, no one will waste her time, and all the energy of the first grader can be devoted to study.

She was admitted to the university of her choice, and she was the pride of Han Ruohua step by step.

But the direction behind is not quite right.

Wen Lian went back to her hometown to work after graduation, but Han Ruohua didn't let her continue her studies.She has excellent grades and loves to read, so she will not have nothing to study.

But Wen Lian's university is beyond the reach of ordinary students like her, and it is more than enough to go back to Yujiang to work.If you ask why you don't continue to study in graduate school, it will not only be a disappointment, but also a bit sour.

But even if she goes back to work in Yujiang, with Wen Lian's ability and Han Ruohua's expectations for her daughter, she should have a job that is enviable enough.

However, Wen Lian was admitted to the city library and has a stable and leisurely job, which is a good job for many people.

But Sheng Qi felt that this was not the best choice for Wen Lian and Han Ruohua.

After thinking about it, she guessed that Han Ruohua might be getting older and not as demanding as before.I just want my daughter to stay by my side and have no worries about food and clothing.

Wen Lian is obedient, and Han Ruohua will come back if she is by his side.

As the carriage shook, Sheng Qi began to think about the questions that he avoided answering in the afternoon.

- "You really don't care?"

do not know.
