Chapter 72
Chapter 72
"I haven't met your girlfriend yet, let's have dinner together another day. I'll give her a gift in advance."
Sheng Qi chose a framed painting from the work shelf, which is suitable for the size of the table. The painting is about a fairy tale, with bright colors, and girls will like it.
She put it in a paper bag for Wan Yuduo.
Wen Lian opened the door and came in. Wan Yuduo had just finished thanking her, and turned around, "Yo, I know the password, I'm half the owner."
Wen Lian ignored his booing and glanced at Sheng Qi.
Sheng Qi forced a smile and returned Xiao Qi to her.
She didn't even have the energy to ask about the time at this moment. Since Wen Lian didn't say it, there must be a reason for not saying it.They need to have a good talk, instead of questioning hastily, and then come back with a few lies.
I'm going back to the countryside tomorrow afternoon, and I don't have the strength to do anything else at this juncture.
She thought of Wen Lian's determination when he explained to her, and how natural it was when he showed her the graduation certificate.
What happened in the middle, she wanted to keep it a secret for a year.
At first she thought she was very close to Wen Lian, but now she felt far away. Wen Lian was there, carrying her lies.
But that lie may not be malicious, so Sheng Qi's mood swings are not great, and she can even force a smile.
Sheng Qi didn't go to dinner, and stayed alone on the grounds of not being hungry and working.
As soon as she talked about work, Wen Lian would not come to her house casually to disturb her.Wen Lian has a strong sense of proportion, being by her side and being close to her will not make her feel bored or tired.
Wen Lian is a very good girlfriend.
But Sheng Qi doesn't like being cheated, even though they have to lie constantly after they grow up, in exchange for what they need.But Wen Lian lied to her about the things she asked a few times, and the nature was different.
Once a relationship begins with a lie, there is no trust in it.
Wen Lian made a voice call to her before going to bed, Sheng Qi hesitated for two seconds, and chose to answer.
"what happened?"
"Are you uncomfortable today?" Wen Lian was as calm as ever, with a soft voice, and the original coldness in the tone was baked into tenderness.
Sheng Qi pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't have one."
"I feel like you are listless, like Xiaoqi."
"Call me?" Sheng Qi joked.
"It's about the mental state, nothing else." Wen Lian explained seriously, without saying that Sheng Qi was a dog.
It was just a joke, she understood it, but she still took it seriously and gave feedback.
What was fascinated by Wen Lian back then was the contrast. Her restrained personality made her look cold and aloof.But if you know her well, you will know that she treats people sincerely, and she will hardly tell lies.
So Sheng Qi was very afraid that she would confess their relationship to her mother.
"I didn't take a nap, maybe I'm a little sleepy." Sheng Qi was also lying.
"Oh."
"I'll go back tomorrow afternoon and be back on Wednesday."
"Okay. Shall we have lunch together?"
"No, I'll eat breakfast, pack up and leave."
"Okay." Wen Lian hung up after saying goodnight.
Sheng Qi continued to be listless, and simply turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Reminiscing about the midsummer of that year.
During the only summer vacation they were together, apart from that outing, Sheng Qi went to see Wen Lian once a week.But she can't delay her study. She usually carries a schoolbag and writes homework together for half a day.
At that time, my mind was very simple, as long as I could see Wen Lian, I would be happy to do my homework.
Three days before school started, Sheng Qi made a special trip back to the rented house.The reason is to make up homework and study with Wen Lian, so grandma will naturally let her.
It caught up with the heavy rain on the Yujiang River, and one night there was a power outage, so Han Ruohua asked her to eat and sleep with Wen Lian at home.
At that time, her words were also: "There is no difference between raising one child and raising two."
It's the last few days of summer vacation, and she is willing to let Wen Lian take a few breaths appropriately.
At night they lay together and chatted.
Wen Lian chatted about novels, her mother, and how much weight Wan Yuduo had lost recently.Sheng Qi told her about comics, about games, and that her father sent grandma a picture of her younger sister, who is a cute little girl.
Sheng Qi also said: "I like you".
At the end of August, the rainy night of the power outage was still sweltering, but Sheng Qi hugged Wen Lian tightly and kissed her sweaty neck.Wen Lian didn't yell hot, but quietly entangled with her, unwilling to push her away.
They hoped that the thunderstorms would never stop, that the night would never end, that the lights would never come on.
Let them cuddle up in the dark, gossip about nothing to do with study, kiss unscrupulously, and caress each other's young and fragrant body tenderly.
After Wen Lian fell asleep, Sheng Qi put his ear close to her heart and listened to her heartbeat.
At that time, I felt that being with Wen Lian was the happiest thing.
Let her give up anything.
A few days after school started, grandma still didn't come over, saying she was not feeling well.
Sheng Qi was very worried, but when grandma came, she became very obedient and didn't want grandma to be tired.Sometimes when grandma is not feeling well, she is not allowed to cook and go out to pack some food.
Wen Lian is busier than before, and she is in her third year of high school.
The original plan was to go to university as much as possible, to be closer to Wen Lian's school in the future, and then let grandma enjoy her old age at home.When she graduates, she will make good money to honor her grandma, and she will also make money for Wen Lianhua.
Although she thought very self-aware, it is estimated that Wen Lian earns more than her, so it is good not to dislike her.
But when she doesn't plan and squanders her time wantonly, everything runs harmoniously along the original track, and her life is smooth sailing.
Instead, she wanted to change and become a better person, but external forces came to destroy her life and confidence like a devil's joke.
Grandma collapsed, and Sheng Qi didn't see her when she came back from school, so the uncle who came to pick her up said, "It's in the hospital, your aunt asked me to take you to see it."
She couldn't figure out why grandma usually looked tough, so she had to be hospitalized.
Just like later, she couldn't figure out how the relatives who loved her the most would leave as soon as they said they would leave.
Grandma's illness disrupted all her plans, and she was at a loss. She just wanted to stay with her in the hospital and take care of her so that she could get better soon.After a few days, I was kicked back to school, but my mind was always distracted, and I couldn't concentrate on the questions.
She thought over and over again that all her stability and happiness now are based on the fact that grandma loves and protects her.If something happens to grandma, what will her life be like in the future?
She is not afraid that no one will take care of her. As long as her grandma recovers, she will be raised at home and she can be independent.
But she was afraid of becoming a person.
so horrible.
She was in a bad mood, and she didn't want to pass on her bad mood to Wen Lian, and make Wen Lian as distracted as she was, so she didn't see Wen Lian as much as she could.
When did Sheng Qi decide that grandma really couldn't grow up with her?
That was the moment when I saw Sheng Guangming in the hospital.
She was suddenly very angry that Sheng Guangming had not fulfilled his filial piety except for giving money.He is not a good son, nor is he a good father, what is he doing?
At that moment, Sheng Qi hated him from the bottom of his heart, as if he was the one who made grandma want to leave.
But after grandma passed away, she was left with only him, and wanted to be taken to live in Y province by him.
She didn't want to stay at home, and was pointed at by everyone, saying that her parents didn't want her, and her grandma left.
When grandma was there, the aunts were her aunts, and it was not difficult for them to take care of her when they took care of grandma.But grandma is gone, her existence is abrupt.
After many years, Sheng Qi could still remember her bewilderment and panic that day.
Going to the grave again, this time she didn't cry, maybe because she has been sad recently, and her emotions have been exhausted.
When everyone left, she was behind and stayed for 5 minutes longer. She looked at the photo on the tombstone and showed a cute and playful smile.In the past, she always laughed like this. After laughing like this, grandma will be happy, and she can have whatever she wants.
It's a strange thing to be separated from each other. The old lady who is happy to see her granddaughter smile once was criticized by neighbors, saying that she is too used to children.How can a girl not know how to wash and cook, and is out in the field every day.
Grandma said that as long as her Qiqi is happy.
"I went back to the house where I lived in high school yesterday. The shoe cabinets of the two families were all in a mess at the door. You and Aunt Han didn't pay attention to it. It would be great if you were here. Watch me go to college, watch me make money to honor you, and watch me With someone I like."
"It's so boring that you're not here."
She wants to live in other people's handouts, live in white lies, work hard to be a happy person, and chase after a relationship that once hurt her.
She was disgusted.
Disgusted with her choices, her contentment, her greed.
The feeling that she was superfluous came out again.
Grandma seemed to be her bridge to the world, and for a long time afterwards, she felt like an outsider, being excluded by everyone.
A person's state of mind is really changeable, and it is harder to grasp than the direction of the wind. A few days ago, she thought that she had a destination in this life, but these days she feels lonely and pessimistic.
I don't know if it's because I really miss grandma, or if Wen Lian doesn't feel safe enough for her.
On the way back, she looked at the winter scene outside the car window. The unmelted snow on the rice fields was no longer connected in patches, piled up in piles, stained with dust, and looked dirty.
She doesn't like being deserted.
As if knowing that she would not be in a good mood today, Wen Lian didn't send her a message all day, so she didn't have to respond.
Lying on the bed against the wall at night, the window leaks air, and I can still feel a little cold when the air conditioner is turned on.
She didn't eat dinner, so my aunt came in to persuade her, and seeing that she really had no appetite, she went to bed.
After receiving a message from Xu Tongtong, saying that her grandfather seemed really not well this time, her mother even asked her if she could ask for leave to go home.
Xu Tongtong was close to her grandparents, and they brought her up. Sheng Qi didn't want her to regret it, and suggested that she take time off to go back and have a look.
She had a premonition that the situation should be serious, otherwise her mother would not rush her back.
As for her, since no one informed her there, she just ignored it for the time being.
Xu Tongtong's grandfather is leaving.
People who leave will never come back, and they even rarely appear in dreams, but this night Sheng Qi dreamed of grandma.
She slept on the bed, and when the adults got up in the morning, grandma walked into her bedroom and reached in from the quilt at the end of the bed to touch her feet.
Just make sure it's hot.
"Qiqi sleep a little longer, I'll bring the meal in when it's ready."
"Okay." Sheng Qi responded.
She woke up.
No one in the house spoke to her.
I was ill for many days before and lost a few kilograms, but I haven't had time to get it back.
My aunt felt sorry for her and wanted to cook two more meals for her, so she let her live one more day.In fact, it's meaningless here, no one chats with her, and she just sits on the bed and plays with her mobile phone every day.
But she said yes.
She told Wen Lian to postpone it for a day, and Wen Lian said yes, wait for her.
In fact, she should go back today and ask for clarification, it's not such a bad thing.
But she didn't want to, or rather, didn't dare.
But the landlord came to ask her if she couldn't live in the next year, because when she rented it, she only said to live for half a year, and Sheng Qi didn't mention it later, so she was worried.
Originally, he would definitely stay, but at this point in time, Sheng Qi just felt annoyed, and replied, "I'll think about it in a couple of days."
What are you thinking about? Will she leave Wen Lian?
She didn't know, she just didn't want to make any decisions, when she was uncomfortable.
When I got home the next day, it was spotless and well-groomed.
I also changed to a new set of bedding, the main color is warm white, it looks warm, and there is a fragrance of detergent on it.
Sheng Qi lay down, her eyelids became heavy, she fell asleep unconsciously, and fell asleep until Wen Lian came to her room.
Wen Lian knew she was back and sent a bunch of messages, but she didn't reply, nor did she answer the phone.She felt uneasy, and when she came back, she saw the man sleeping soundly.
He lost his temper in an instant, sat down by the bed helplessly, and patted her head.
I want to live.
Sheng Qi woke up afterward, dazedly rubbing against Wen Lian's palm.
"Is the phone on silent?"
"Yeah." Sheng Qi guessed that Wen Lian sent a message to find her.
"Get up and go to my house for dinner."
Sheng Qi didn't move, and when Wen Lian was about to lift her quilt, she opened the record of the conversation with the landlord to Wen Lian.
She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she hoped that Wen Lian would know her hesitation.She thought they were all honest.
Wen Lian was calm after reading it, and asked her, "Why?"
Sheng Qi put on his clothes and got out of bed, without a smile on his face, he said seriously: "Let's talk."
