in the name of painting
Chapter 1]
Crouching on the side of the boat, calling someone.
The chance of escape is in an instant.
She didn't hesitate, she opened her eyes, exerted force with her feet, and rushed out with a "swish".
The two men behind him also immediately chased after them, still yelling something loudly in their mouths. After hearing this, she even sped up her speed as desperately as possible.
The wind kept blowing on her face, and she couldn't remember which coconut tree she had run through. Finally, a street full of people appeared in front of her eyes.
Wu, she is already exhausted, so she has to find a place to hide quickly.
She ran into a mottled and dilapidated alley, turned left and right in it, and finally stopped in front of a pile of garbage.
A homeless man in ragged clothes built a simple nest next to him, and was sitting in front of the nest drinking alone.
The eyes of the two met, and the sound of chasing in the distance sounded again.
She didn't have time to think about it, so she dug through a few things from the garbage dump at an extremely fast speed. People with sharp eyes would notice that the colors of those things belonged to the same color family as the homeless man's clothes.
"Wow"
She covered herself with something, and then plunged into the homeless man's nest, unexpectedly blending in harmoniously with that environment.
At this time, she didn't ask this strange uncle for help, she just pretended she didn't see her.
The footsteps are getting closer,
"&(*&%..." Someone quickly asked the homeless man something. She curled up, buried her face in her knees, and prayed desperately that she would not be found.
What she didn't see was that the homeless uncle intentionally or unintentionally blocked Wu's position with his body, and then raised his hand to point in a random direction to the man who was asking the question.
The footsteps were far away again.
Wu waited for a while, and finally poked her head out from the garbage dump. She looked grateful, and got up to restore the homeless man's nest to its original state, "Thank you, uncle."
The other party didn't respond, but stared at Wu's face, wondering what she was thinking.
Wu is a little embarrassed, this is a completely foreign country, and the other party may not understand what she is saying at all.But this uncle was willing to help her just now, so he shouldn't be considered a bad person, so she decided to find a way to ask a few more questions.
She gestured and said, "I want to go to the Chinese embassy...that's..."
Wu picked up a small stone, drew a Chinese flag on the ground, and drew a house, "This is such a place, do you know how to get there?"
The tramp raised his eyebrows, feeling excited, he took Wu's stone and began to draw on the ground as well. He smelled very strong of alcohol, but the paintings under his hands were clear and beautiful.
"Yes, yes, it's here." Wu nodded vigorously, and looked at the more vivid and concrete sketch of the embassy drawn by the homeless man. She was excited, and the uncle seemed to be familiar with it.
"Can I ask you to take me there?" She pointed at the sketch and sincerely made a gesture of asking.
The homeless man squinted his drunken eyes, and his gaze stayed between her brows for a long time...
Those eyes with a hint of eagerness, a hint of pleading, and a look of expectation brought him into his mind, a dream in which an old friend lived.
------------【Reminiscences: Forget Autumn · Years of Violet】------------
30 years ago, a spring day that could smell the fragrance of grass after the rain.
A banner was pulled up in front of the Si family's private art gallery: [Warmly welcome Professor Spencer from Faguo Academy of Fine Arts to visit our museum for exchange]
15-year-old Si Wangqiu came to participate in formal attire, and his father told him that after the sharing session was over, he would introduce the professor who had written a book to him.
Before he reached the door, Si Wangqiu saw a delicate and beautiful girl stopped by the guard.
The girl was in her early teens at most, with a ponytail and was not tall, but she was discussing something with the guard with an adult face.
The guard looked resolute, "No, I can't let you in without an invitation letter."
Xia Jinnian looked sincere, "Uncle, I really like Professor Spencer, I just want to go in and listen to the exchange meeting, so I won't make trouble."
The security guard still had a sullen face, obviously refusing.
At this time, he noticed Si Wangqiu walking over, his expression immediately changed into a smile, and greeted him: "Mr. Si, you are here, please come in."
Si Wangqiu nodded, and walked in under Xia Jinnian's envious eyes.After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked back in Xia Jinnian's direction.
The girl seemed to have given up at this moment, her head drooped, and her eyes were filled with unresolved frustration. Si Wangqiu saw it, and suddenly felt pity for no reason.
For some reason, he didn't want to see her sad.
"Do you want..." Si Wangqiu hesitated to speak, a little confused why he cared about a stranger.
Xia Jinnian raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at Si Wangqiu with some doubts, with eagerness, pleading, and anticipation in his eyes, and asked:
"Can you please take me in?"
Si Wangqiu froze in place, he couldn't resist those eyes.
After a while, he nodded and signaled Xia Jinnian to follow him in.
It's just that he didn't expect that the name Xia Jinnian would be in his heart because of his tacit approval of the meeting, and the time he lived there would be vicissitudes.
------------【End of Memories: Forget Autumn · Years of Violet】------------
Si Wangqiu laughed, why he couldn't escape that name no matter how drunk he was.
Obviously, after learning that her heart is at home, he has frankly wished her happiness; obviously he has traveled to so many places and met so many people, but he still thinks of her.
"Can I ask you to take me there?" She repeated it carefully, her eyes the same as Jinnian's back then.
That's all...
Si Wangqiu stood up crookedly, threw away the empty wine bottle, casually folded his simple nest, turned his back on his body, and signaled Wu to follow him with his eyes.
Also the same as back then.
The author has something to say: Good evening, the author’s friendly reminder: If you don’t remember who Si Wangqiu is, welcome to the beginning of Chapter 3~
☆, return journey
Gorgeous and cool Si family villa.
Si Huanian hesitated outside the study, not daring to go in. Ling Luo had already stayed there for a long time.
Si Huanian frowned, the anxiety in her heart soon exceeded the possible punishment for disturbing her mother's work, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The study room was very dark, with only one desk lamp turned on. Ling Luo was sunk in a leather armchair, and she could only vaguely see the cold arc of her lips that were drawn into a line under the light.
"Mom, I would like to ask you to help me find out about my friend. She is missing..." Si Huanian said cautiously and firmly.
Ling Luo slowly straightened his upper body, thin lips, sharp nose, and sharp eyes gradually appeared in the light.
She tapped the table with her fingers, and the wedding diamond ring on her ring finger followed, shining coldly, just like her eyes now.
"Hmm." I couldn't tell if he would care about this matter.
The chair shook slightly, Ling Luo changed the subject, "Did you pass the exam today?"
coming.
Si Huanian's cherry lips trembled slightly. When she decided to give up the culture test, she was ready to face her mother, but when the matter came near, she was afraid that she would want to run away.
"What are you hiding from me?"
Ling Luo quickly realized that something was wrong, perhaps the air-conditioning in the study room was too strong, and even her voice was covered with ice.
"Mom, I... I forgot to fill in the answer sheet."
Si Huanian closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and retracted his neck unconsciously. Ling Luo's aura was too strong, and she didn't dare to tell the truth when she came to her mouth.
Quiet, eerily quiet in the air.The second hand seems to be frozen, every movement is suffering.
"Is that how you reassure me?"
Ling Luo's face maintained the restraint before the anger, and it was more frightening than ever. She stared at her daughter's face carefully, trying to see from it how much truth Si Huanian said.
"sorry."
Si Huanian lowered his head and stood stubbornly again, obviously terrified in his heart, but he didn't take a step back.The figure of the man in the tears in her eyes may be all the strength to keep her from falling at this moment.
I'm sorry, but I don't regret it.
···
Si Huanian was confined at home.
After her daughter left, Ling Luo sat back on the armchair wearily, making the desire to set things right all the more intense, and to some extent relieved the guilt she felt in her heart after doing those things.
"Damn Xia Jinnian, and her daughter too." Ling Luo closed his eyes and said bitterly to the abyss in his heart.
"bell"
A mobile phone in the drawer, which is only used on special occasions, rang.
"Hey, Boss Ling, bad news, the girl has not been watched, she hasn't been sent to the place yet, she ran away..."
***
Southeast Asia Philippines, Bohol Island.
Si Wangqiu took Wu and her from day to night, and finally stopped in front of the port on the other side of the island.
He found a coconut tree with a thick trunk on the beach, spread out his rag nest under the tree, and then bent down and lay down in it.
Wu she staggered and fell to the ground, she was so tired.
She has been worrying all day and hasn't eaten for a long time. Now she just feels that the world is spinning and her eyes are black. After a while, she fell asleep leaning against the coconut tree...
The sea breeze in the middle of the night brought bursts of damp and cold water vapor, and the girl under the coconut tree tightened her single clothes, whispering lightly in her uneasy sleep, whispering softly:
"Every year..."
Hearing this, Si Wangqiu sat up, put his hand on Wu's forehead, found some antipyretics from somewhere, and fed them to Wu with water.
He watched for a while, seeing that she was fine, then lay back in the nest, still thinking about who Nian Nian was...
When Wu woke up leisurely, it was not yet dawn, and the night sky was guarding the last bit of starlight.
Taking advantage of the remaining moonlight, Wu once again looked at the messy uncle in front of her.
His facial features are actually quite handsome, but his unkempt hair hides his appearance greatly.
What impresses her deeply is that this uncle is very good at drawing. It is just simple lines drawn by stones on the ground, but it takes into account perspective and three-dimensional beauty. It seems easy, but without solid painting skills, it is impossible to draw .This is also the reason why she was willing to believe in him at the beginning. She always felt that people who like to paint are not too bad.
The sound of seabirds came from a distance, which was not pleasant and disturbing.
Who is targeting him like this?
Will it arrive at the embassy smoothly tomorrow?
Are your domestic friends in a hurry?
She is also in a hurry...
The sea breeze is blowing, and the coconut trees are swaying. On this unknown beach in a foreign country, facing a stranger who can't understand Chinese, Wu suddenly had the idea to say:
"You know what? I missed a very important exam..."
The homeless uncle turned over and turned his head towards her, with his eyes still closed.
She Wu continued, "I made an agreement with the person I like to pass the exam and then go to American University to study together, but I missed the appointment..."
"She must be very disappointed..." She raised her head and looked at the distant place that could not see the end.
"She is a very good person, she loves to laugh, her smile is super sweet, super healing..." Wu has a gentle look in her eyes, "She is very cute, she will act like a baby to me, and she will often put it in my pocket. candy···"
As Wu spoke, she touched her pocket subconsciously, and then her eyes lit up. In the depth of the pocket lay a piece of chocolate biscuit that Si Huanian had put into it at some unknown time.
Wu's eyes became more gentle, she unwrapped the wrapping paper, split the biscuit in two, put a piece in front of Si Wangqiu, and then bit her own piece.
Sweet and fragrant entrance, where is the Yiren, who is sighing softly:
"I like her very much, but we are not together."
She was a little reluctant to finish eating, and swallowed the biscuits in small bites, with scruples, regrets, and deep miss in her eyes.
Si Wangqiu sat up suddenly, startling her Wu. He picked up the biscuit she placed in front of him, stuffed it in one gulp, then leaned back against the coconut tree, and just stayed with her without saying a word.
She inevitably thought, this uncle has never spoken since we met, so he must be dumb...
The stars fade and the sun rises.
The two successfully boarded a fishing boat and came to Sudao Island in the Philippines. It seemed more developed here, and the locals occasionally communicated in English, which she could understand, and she quickly found out the location of the embassy.
***
Chinese embassy in Guosu City, Philippines.
In the duty office, two middle-aged staff members were still on their lunch break. One was playing poker games on his mobile phone, and the other was facing the computer, checking domestic current affairs news.
"Is there anything new in China recently?"
"It's just the usual ones... eh? Let me read this to you: The No. [-] student in the professional examination of the Beijing University of the Arts disappeared in front of his house two days ago, and he hasn't been found yet."
"It's been so long since I haven't heard from you, maybe it's more ominous..."
"Yeah, there are too many things going on in Beijing City, unlike a small place like ours, which has been calm for several months..."
"Do you have a picture? Let me see what the champion of art looks like?"
"Yes, here, it's quite a delicate and delicate child."
"The angle of this photo is not good. It was taken with a slap in the face. The real person should look better than the photo..."
···
While the two staff members were still in high spirits, discussing how good-looking the No. [-] scholar in the photo would be in real life, a face that was exactly the same as the photo appeared on the top of their computer screens.
"Well, sorry, I want to ask for help."
staff member:"······"
It's really exactly the same, it's still three-dimensional, with flesh and blood, it really can't be real anymore!
"Hello?" Wu asked again politely.
The two staff members exchanged glances silently. What kind of devil's superpower is this? !What do you want? !
No one can understand how unreal they feel in the Philippine embassy thousands of kilometers away from Beijing.
An hour later, the situation was finally clarified. After several sighs, Wu was soon arranged to return to China.
The Sushi embassy is busy now, the transnational missing persons case is a big case.
When she asked the staff to help her to report the safety of her domestic friends first, the wandering uncle who had been following her behind her suddenly spoke:
"That... buy a ticket for me to go back too." Si Wangqiu took out a frayed Chinese passport from his pocket, and put it in front of the two staff members, "I am also a lost overseas Chinese."
Wu she: "!!!!!!"
Now it's her turn to be surprised...
Excuse me, are you tm Chinese? !
Then what are you playing with me these two days? I guess what you draw!What are you playing and you can't understand Chinese! ! !
***
On the return flight, Si Wangqiu and Wu she looked at each other silently.
"Don't look at me like that, you didn't ask me if I'm Chinese..." Si Wangqiu said with an innocent expression.
He didn't talk much at first, so it was normal for her to be misunderstood by Wu. As for the fact that he didn't speak up until then, it was because he wanted to make fun of this junior. He heard the young man's secret and didn't blush.
Wu rushed to her throat with a mouthful of old blood, "You are ruthless."
She can't get too fussy with this uncle, he is her savior no matter what, it's just a matter of being heard... I hope he will forget it after hearing it.
When the plane landed, Si Wangqiu didn't leave his name, and waved goodbye to her before the exit like a hero with a story, "Little friend, see you by fate."
After walking a few steps, he turned around again, and added half-jokingly and half-experiencedly, "If you like it, go after it boldly. When that person is chased away, it will be too late for you to regret it."
She froze in place, she was a little angry just thinking about the possibility of Si Huanian being chased away.
"Wu her, Wu her!"
Lu Yi was waving from afar in the waiting area for the airport pick-up. Standing beside her was Mr. Feng, the judge who had met in the scholarship competition before.
She Wu looked behind them again, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, Si Huanian was not there.
"Aren't you hurt?"
"No. I met a kind person to help."
"Oh, it's good that it's okay. The police are already looking for clues and will give you an explanation."
She Wu nodded, and finally asked, "Did Si Huanian...didn't say anything?"
"She knows about your safety." As if guessing what she was thinking, Lu Yi added, "She couldn't come, she had some trouble with her family, and she was locked up. Let me tell you to rest well."
"Oh."
She suppressed her miss, and the uncle's sentence "If you like it, go after it boldly..." echoed in her heart over and over again.
The author has something to say: Si Wangqiu: Who would have thought that I advise my son-in-law to be bold...
She Wu: Who would have thought that I confessed to my father-in-law first...
☆, she is in love
The disappearance case has received enough attention from the Beijing police, but the other party committed the crime very carefully. She did not see the original kidnapper at all. Except that the license plate in the surveillance was a stolen van, almost no clues were left behind. The progress of the whole case very slowly.
Ling Luo was dealing with a lot of mess in the company alone. This time, because of the close attention of the police, she was almost exposed, so she had no choice but to completely cut off contact with her there. Next time, she will not be able to touch Wu like this again...
The phone rang, and the butler He Bo finally had good news. Ling Luo quickly asked the driver to come over and hurried home.
Just entering the door, "Where is Si Wangqiu?"
Uncle He looked embarrassed, "Sir, he... came back to freshen up briefly, brought a few clothes, and left again..."
"Where did you go?"
"This... I asked, but he didn't say..."
Ling Luo couldn't afford to sit on the sofa, and the little eagerness and thoughts along the way turned into shame, anger and desolation at this moment.
The oil portrait was still hanging on the wall of the living room, and the neat family of three in the picture also looked ironic at this time.
Ling Luo's gaze stayed on the man's face in the picture for a long time, and suddenly he wanted to cry.
Could it be that when Si Wangqiu left home, his expression was just like his in the painting, indifferent and unfeeling, after such a long time apart, he didn't even want to see her.
Is the marriage that I tried my best to fight for back then so unworthy of happiness?
She has done so many good and bad things for him, are they all just a waste of effort?
Ling Luo covered his eyes and sobbed silently.
Si Huanian has been alone in the room for several days, and she doesn't even know that her father has come back. Her mobile phone was confiscated, and she can only get news of Wu's well-being from the housekeeper, Bo Na.
After a brief reassurance, there was a huge, Wu panic that she almost couldn't come back.Stunned, taken away, sent to another country... Every scene is too thrilling for her to imagine.
Si Huanian squatted in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, wrapping her arms tightly around herself. At this moment, she really wanted Wu to give her a firm and specific hug, to confirm the lost and regained truth in her heart.
I really want to hug her...
***
Three months later.
Lu Yi dragged the suitcase and stopped at the entrance. Today is the day for the first American freshmen to report.
Wu had to face a year of re-examination because she missed the cultural class, and Lu Yi chose to live on campus at American University, so today is also the day they officially bid farewell to their roommate life.
Lu Yi looked back at Wu who was still eating breakfast, feeling a little sad, and finally said goodbye, "Then I'm leaving..."
Wu raised her head, saw Lu Yi's sad expression, supported the calmness on her face, and teased, "Let's go, do you want me to take you to school?"
"No need..." Lu Yi waved his hand, wanted to say something more, but didn't know how to express it, and finally asked, "You are fine."
"Of course I will be fine." Wu smiled slightly, "You go to Meida and continue to work hard. I will look for you next year."
"Well, I'll wait for you."
The door closed, the sound of the luggage wheel became farther and farther away, and the smile on Wu's face gradually faded.
Just trying to be brave, in fact, she is not good at all.
Almost no one can deal with it easily, such a helpless and lonely start again.
The family lost Lu Yi's things and became much empty. This kind of sadness after parting must always be borne by those who stay behind.
Wu continued to eat her breakfast tastelessly, thinking of another person in her heart:
At this time, Si Huanian should be on his way to Meida, right?
No, maybe she hasn't set out yet at home, she likes to go out at the last minute, and then rush over on the verge of being late, no matter what you say, she can't persuade her to give up the ten minutes of lazy sleep...
like a child...
American University has started school, so her mother shouldn't put her in confinement, right?Now that she got the phone, would she want to contact her?
···
The phone was silent all the time, Wu she sighed, packed up the dishes and prepared to go out, today is also the day she returns to Shuren Studio to report.
Even if it is a repetition, the daily practice cannot be let go.
Passing by the convenience store at the exit of the subway station, Wu still habitually bought a can of Wangzai milk.
The aluminum cans taken out of the freezer were covered with water vapor, condensed into beads, and slipped down from Wangzai's eyes. She lowered her eyes, are you crying, no one wants you today?
She Wu arrived not early, and the studio was already full of seven or eight students, except for a few fellow sufferers who were also repeating the study, and they were all unfamiliar faces.
Wu is considered a celebrity in the studio. When she passed by, some novelty or regretful eyes glanced at her, which felt like a thorn on her back.
She tried her best to maintain a normal pace, and walked to the corner by the window where she often sat.
There were two easels side by side, one belonged to me and the other once belonged to Si Huanian. They were very close to each other, and they seemed to be like this all the time.
She sat in her seat, knowing that it was meaningless, she still put the can of milk on the easel next to her, and helped Si Huanian to occupy a seat as usual, stubbornly not wanting a newcomer to sit there.
There are newcomers coming into the studio constantly, and when the class is about to start, the seats are getting more and more full, and there is a faint tendency to not enough seats.
Wu she sighed inaudibly, and helplessly slowly raised her hand, and shook it to the little person who was still "crying" on the easel beside her...
An unusually familiar hand appeared in the line of sight, with pink and slender fingers nimbly squeezed, taking the milk one step ahead of her.
"Are you going to grab my milk?"
That voice was as sweet as strawberries, as soft as marshmallows, as she had been thinking about Wu for three months.
Si Huanian wore a pink dress today, which was scorchingly beautiful under the sun, her eyes were full of joy, and there was also a trace of grievance after waiting for a long time.
Wu was so shocked that she was a little stupid, her lips trembled, she stared blankly at the sweetheart she hadn't seen for 93 days, 2232 hours, and once suspected that she was still dreaming.
I saw that hand put down the milk, then reached out to Wu's cheek, caressingly caressing the contours of her profile that had become more and more obvious in the past three months, bringing a real and warm touch.
"I lost weight..."
Wu was finally able to be sure of what had happened. She stood up, and without hesitation, under the eyes of everyone, embraced the person in front of her with powerful affection, just like she had imagined countless times at night.
Si Huanian closed her eyes and hugged back, she finally got this tight and tender hug.
The worries and grievances of the past few months became worthwhile at the moment when the pillow touched Wu's shoulders, and the blankness in my heart was finally filled, and there was a faint overflow of happiness.
It's good that you're still here.
It's great that the people you care about also care about you.
"It's almost done." Lao Hu's voice sounded piercingly in the studio, and there was a trace of excitement that he deliberately hid, "Two bastards, one missed the exam, and the other forgot to fill in the answer sheet, shame on you, next time If you make these moths for me again, I will ignore you."
She Wu and Si Huanian hurriedly separated, lowered their heads and sat back in their seats a little shyly, not seeing the faintly raised corners of Lao Hu's mouth.
"Did you forget to fill in the answer sheet?"
"Careless, I thought I was in a stable group."
Si Huanian left a white lie and happily enjoyed the happiness he had gained.
After the tutoring class was over, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not participate in the evening self-study at the same time. They walked along a street in Beijing that did not know where to go, forgetting the time.
The evening wind is blowing, and the ambiguity in the air can be turned into intoxicating wine.The two walked from the street scene to the lake, from one end of the park to the other end of the park, and she finally spoke:
Wu she: "You..."
Si Huanian: "Huh?"
do you like me?
Would you like to be with me?
can you be my girlfriend
How much can she say, Wu she was on the verge of speaking, but couldn't hold back a word.Her personality is too restrained, and it is not so difficult for her to take the initiative to say these things.
"You..." Wu's face was flushed, and after a long time you finally said, "What type of person do you like...?"
Well, this is Wu's limit.
Si Huanian stopped in his tracks, turned to face her Wu, pursed his lips and smiled sweetly, his eyes curved into a heart-warming arc with small lying silkworms.
"I like people who are gentle and careful..." Si Huanian's eyes reflected Wu's shadow, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised, "People who like to teach me how to draw Chinese paintings, people who bring me milk every day, people who can secretly Look at me, people who care about me silently, people who like to pamper me and smile at me..."
Si Huanian slowly approached her body, there was a scorching wave slowly surging in the air, and finally when Si Huanian put his hands around her neck, it was boiling hot.
Since she is so timid, let me take the initiative.
"Do you want to be more specific?" Si Huanian's voice seemed to be hooked, drawing Wu's body closer and closer, and finally stopped at a point where she could kiss Wu with her head down. Distance, "I like... people like you."
How could she bear such a big tease? After finally stopping her uncontrollably trembling body, she closed her eyes, lowered her head, and completed the last brave step almost devoutly.
Kiss her lips.
Wu's kiss was jerky and immature, but gentle and considerate. She carefully sucked Si Huanian's lips, which was the first ignorant and sweet temptation in her life.
The world was turned upside down, and the stars moved, only the two people who kissed each other were tightly entwined and became a bond of love.
Si Huanian wrapped her happiness tightly around her, whispering her name every time he needed to breathe lightly, "Wu She... Wu She..."
------------【Reminiscence---Parents' Love Chapter: Qinghan · Jinnian】------------
20 years ago, Gaoqiao, Sucheng.
In the moonlight, when the eighth lantern floated in the river under the bridge, Wu Qinghan finally waited until her beloved girl nodded and said yes.
Xia Jin looked at Wu Qinghan with a young smile, jumping up and down, as happy as a child, and couldn't help shaking her head, "Stupid not stupid."
"Hahaha, Jinnian, you will be mine from now on~" Wu Qinghan didn't look like an adult, and walked around in a circle, "Do you know? I even thought of the name of our future child .”
Xia Jinnian laughed and said, "Are you so thick-skinned?"
"Our child is called her Wu."
Wu Qinghan held Xia Jinnian's hand and put it on his chest, his eyes were sincere and determined, "Wu she represents, my world is only you without her, love with one heart and one mind."
Xia Jinnian stared blankly at Wu Qinghan. At that moment, she felt that maybe in this lifetime, she would be addicted to the tenderness of these eyes...
"Hahaha, if you give birth to a boy in the future, if you call him a boy, will you be suspected of being a broken sleeve?"
"It's a boy, I'll think of another name!!!"
"Hahahaha~"
------------【End of Memories---Parents' Love Chapter: Qinghan · Jinnian】------------
"My dad said, if you meet someone you like, you can tell her the meaning of my name."
"Oh? What is it?"
She stood up straight to make Si Huanian lean more comfortably. At the same time, she tightened her arms and gently stroked Si Huanian's long hair with her fingertips.
"My name comes from a promise. My father said, we Wu family members, if we love someone, we will be wholehearted, only you without her."
Si Huanian's heart was so soft that she felt that it was the most beautiful love story she had ever heard in her life.
The evening breeze at the end of summer was soft and just right. On the bench under the weeping willows by the lake, two figures sat snuggled together. The kitten that ate the fish.
"She Wu, you will always be with me, right?"
"Correct."
"My father is very cold, and my mother is very fierce. I might embarrass you in the future. Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid."
"My family is very rich, very rich, will it scare you away?"
"will not."
Wu's voice was steady and firm, and there was continuous warmth coming from the intertwined palms.
Since the last bursary incident, when Ling's employees called Si Huanian "Miss", she had already vaguely guessed Si Huanian's family background.
At present, she has not regressed in love, just like her father did in the past, she will not give up fighting for her own happiness because of the disparity in status and status, what's more, she is confident that in the future, she can give Si Huanian the life she wants only by herself.
"I haven't told you about my parents, have I?"
By the side of the person she likes, she relaxes physically and mentally, opens her heart, and tells a beautiful but sad love story...
The mandarin ducks in the lake swam a few laps, and Si Huanian switched back and forth between joy, anger and sadness following what Wu told her about her parents.
···
"So you are Aunt Jinnian's child. No wonder the Xia family targeted you so much at that time. Humph, I hate you!" Si Huanian clenched his fists angrily, "Don't worry, you will be the son-in-law of the Si family from now on, and the Xia family dare not bully you." your!"
Wu's expression froze for a moment. She was originally in a sad mood, but she almost couldn't laugh out loud when she heard the word "son-in-law" suddenly.
"What are you laughing at?" Si Huanian was puzzled.
She gently touched Si Huanian's forehead with her brows and eyes, and said with a smile, "I like Madam's positioning of me very much."
Si Huanian: "..."
What's the matter with feeling a big loss?
The author has something to say: Wu Qinghan: Huh~ Fortunately, the baby is a daughter...
Sahua~Volume [-] is over~The next volume will quickly skip the repetition and enter the university~
I'm also looking forward to the day of comments~
☆, the beginning of the university
one year later.
Wu She and Si Huanian successfully passed the two exams and received the admission notice from the University of the United States.Wu's ranking this year is still strong, and she has become an existence that many students of the same level are far away from each other.
The background of Shuren Studio’s admissions website has been changed to a normal photo of her this year, but the copywriting is still "touching": the unlucky repeater champion who struggled in adversity...
It is worth mentioning that in the past year, under the introduction of Mr. Feng, Wu has established a cooperative relationship with an authoritative gallery in Beijing that specializes in the collection and auction of traditional Chinese paintings. Wu will regularly entrust her original works to the other party for auction. As a result, she has a stable and decent source of income, so she also declined Ling's continuing to provide her with educational assistance.
After signing a contract with the gallery, Wu began to sign her works under the pseudonym "She Nian". Over time, this newcomer to traditional Chinese painting named "Her Nian" began to gain a firm foothold in the art circle of Beijing, and there was a faint feeling that she was getting more and more popular. trend.
***
Daiichi University of Fine Arts, Freshman Enrollment Day.
Early in the morning, a row of registration tables were set up at the school gate according to the disciplines: Department of Oil Painting, Department of Traditional Chinese Painting, Department of Printmaking, Department of Mural Painting, Department of Design...
In order to support the scene, several pieces of works of their own category were placed beside the registration table of each discipline, and the mural painting department was the most eye-catching. It should be no time to prepare, so I directly deducted a wall from the mural painting studio...
"Lu Yi, our Chinese painting department only puts on these things... won't it be too shabby?"
At the reporting point of the Department of Chinese Painting, a second-year senior pointed to the few brushes hanging on the pen holder on the table, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"It's okay, our Chinese painting department puts more emphasis on teaching than tools, so don't pay attention to these details..." Lu Yi stretched her neck, her eyes wandered among the crowd of freshmen who kept coming in the distance, as if there was someone she was looking forward to seeing.
"Hey? Have you heard? This year's entrance examination is the first place, and it seems to apply for our Chinese painting department."
"Of course, I know her very well."
"I heard that
The chance of escape is in an instant.
She didn't hesitate, she opened her eyes, exerted force with her feet, and rushed out with a "swish".
The two men behind him also immediately chased after them, still yelling something loudly in their mouths. After hearing this, she even sped up her speed as desperately as possible.
The wind kept blowing on her face, and she couldn't remember which coconut tree she had run through. Finally, a street full of people appeared in front of her eyes.
Wu, she is already exhausted, so she has to find a place to hide quickly.
She ran into a mottled and dilapidated alley, turned left and right in it, and finally stopped in front of a pile of garbage.
A homeless man in ragged clothes built a simple nest next to him, and was sitting in front of the nest drinking alone.
The eyes of the two met, and the sound of chasing in the distance sounded again.
She didn't have time to think about it, so she dug through a few things from the garbage dump at an extremely fast speed. People with sharp eyes would notice that the colors of those things belonged to the same color family as the homeless man's clothes.
"Wow"
She covered herself with something, and then plunged into the homeless man's nest, unexpectedly blending in harmoniously with that environment.
At this time, she didn't ask this strange uncle for help, she just pretended she didn't see her.
The footsteps are getting closer,
"&(*&%..." Someone quickly asked the homeless man something. She curled up, buried her face in her knees, and prayed desperately that she would not be found.
What she didn't see was that the homeless uncle intentionally or unintentionally blocked Wu's position with his body, and then raised his hand to point in a random direction to the man who was asking the question.
The footsteps were far away again.
Wu waited for a while, and finally poked her head out from the garbage dump. She looked grateful, and got up to restore the homeless man's nest to its original state, "Thank you, uncle."
The other party didn't respond, but stared at Wu's face, wondering what she was thinking.
Wu is a little embarrassed, this is a completely foreign country, and the other party may not understand what she is saying at all.But this uncle was willing to help her just now, so he shouldn't be considered a bad person, so she decided to find a way to ask a few more questions.
She gestured and said, "I want to go to the Chinese embassy...that's..."
Wu picked up a small stone, drew a Chinese flag on the ground, and drew a house, "This is such a place, do you know how to get there?"
The tramp raised his eyebrows, feeling excited, he took Wu's stone and began to draw on the ground as well. He smelled very strong of alcohol, but the paintings under his hands were clear and beautiful.
"Yes, yes, it's here." Wu nodded vigorously, and looked at the more vivid and concrete sketch of the embassy drawn by the homeless man. She was excited, and the uncle seemed to be familiar with it.
"Can I ask you to take me there?" She pointed at the sketch and sincerely made a gesture of asking.
The homeless man squinted his drunken eyes, and his gaze stayed between her brows for a long time...
Those eyes with a hint of eagerness, a hint of pleading, and a look of expectation brought him into his mind, a dream in which an old friend lived.
------------【Reminiscences: Forget Autumn · Years of Violet】------------
30 years ago, a spring day that could smell the fragrance of grass after the rain.
A banner was pulled up in front of the Si family's private art gallery: [Warmly welcome Professor Spencer from Faguo Academy of Fine Arts to visit our museum for exchange]
15-year-old Si Wangqiu came to participate in formal attire, and his father told him that after the sharing session was over, he would introduce the professor who had written a book to him.
Before he reached the door, Si Wangqiu saw a delicate and beautiful girl stopped by the guard.
The girl was in her early teens at most, with a ponytail and was not tall, but she was discussing something with the guard with an adult face.
The guard looked resolute, "No, I can't let you in without an invitation letter."
Xia Jinnian looked sincere, "Uncle, I really like Professor Spencer, I just want to go in and listen to the exchange meeting, so I won't make trouble."
The security guard still had a sullen face, obviously refusing.
At this time, he noticed Si Wangqiu walking over, his expression immediately changed into a smile, and greeted him: "Mr. Si, you are here, please come in."
Si Wangqiu nodded, and walked in under Xia Jinnian's envious eyes.After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked back in Xia Jinnian's direction.
The girl seemed to have given up at this moment, her head drooped, and her eyes were filled with unresolved frustration. Si Wangqiu saw it, and suddenly felt pity for no reason.
For some reason, he didn't want to see her sad.
"Do you want..." Si Wangqiu hesitated to speak, a little confused why he cared about a stranger.
Xia Jinnian raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at Si Wangqiu with some doubts, with eagerness, pleading, and anticipation in his eyes, and asked:
"Can you please take me in?"
Si Wangqiu froze in place, he couldn't resist those eyes.
After a while, he nodded and signaled Xia Jinnian to follow him in.
It's just that he didn't expect that the name Xia Jinnian would be in his heart because of his tacit approval of the meeting, and the time he lived there would be vicissitudes.
------------【End of Memories: Forget Autumn · Years of Violet】------------
Si Wangqiu laughed, why he couldn't escape that name no matter how drunk he was.
Obviously, after learning that her heart is at home, he has frankly wished her happiness; obviously he has traveled to so many places and met so many people, but he still thinks of her.
"Can I ask you to take me there?" She repeated it carefully, her eyes the same as Jinnian's back then.
That's all...
Si Wangqiu stood up crookedly, threw away the empty wine bottle, casually folded his simple nest, turned his back on his body, and signaled Wu to follow him with his eyes.
Also the same as back then.
The author has something to say: Good evening, the author’s friendly reminder: If you don’t remember who Si Wangqiu is, welcome to the beginning of Chapter 3~
☆, return journey
Gorgeous and cool Si family villa.
Si Huanian hesitated outside the study, not daring to go in. Ling Luo had already stayed there for a long time.
Si Huanian frowned, the anxiety in her heart soon exceeded the possible punishment for disturbing her mother's work, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The study room was very dark, with only one desk lamp turned on. Ling Luo was sunk in a leather armchair, and she could only vaguely see the cold arc of her lips that were drawn into a line under the light.
"Mom, I would like to ask you to help me find out about my friend. She is missing..." Si Huanian said cautiously and firmly.
Ling Luo slowly straightened his upper body, thin lips, sharp nose, and sharp eyes gradually appeared in the light.
She tapped the table with her fingers, and the wedding diamond ring on her ring finger followed, shining coldly, just like her eyes now.
"Hmm." I couldn't tell if he would care about this matter.
The chair shook slightly, Ling Luo changed the subject, "Did you pass the exam today?"
coming.
Si Huanian's cherry lips trembled slightly. When she decided to give up the culture test, she was ready to face her mother, but when the matter came near, she was afraid that she would want to run away.
"What are you hiding from me?"
Ling Luo quickly realized that something was wrong, perhaps the air-conditioning in the study room was too strong, and even her voice was covered with ice.
"Mom, I... I forgot to fill in the answer sheet."
Si Huanian closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and retracted his neck unconsciously. Ling Luo's aura was too strong, and she didn't dare to tell the truth when she came to her mouth.
Quiet, eerily quiet in the air.The second hand seems to be frozen, every movement is suffering.
"Is that how you reassure me?"
Ling Luo's face maintained the restraint before the anger, and it was more frightening than ever. She stared at her daughter's face carefully, trying to see from it how much truth Si Huanian said.
"sorry."
Si Huanian lowered his head and stood stubbornly again, obviously terrified in his heart, but he didn't take a step back.The figure of the man in the tears in her eyes may be all the strength to keep her from falling at this moment.
I'm sorry, but I don't regret it.
···
Si Huanian was confined at home.
After her daughter left, Ling Luo sat back on the armchair wearily, making the desire to set things right all the more intense, and to some extent relieved the guilt she felt in her heart after doing those things.
"Damn Xia Jinnian, and her daughter too." Ling Luo closed his eyes and said bitterly to the abyss in his heart.
"bell"
A mobile phone in the drawer, which is only used on special occasions, rang.
"Hey, Boss Ling, bad news, the girl has not been watched, she hasn't been sent to the place yet, she ran away..."
***
Southeast Asia Philippines, Bohol Island.
Si Wangqiu took Wu and her from day to night, and finally stopped in front of the port on the other side of the island.
He found a coconut tree with a thick trunk on the beach, spread out his rag nest under the tree, and then bent down and lay down in it.
Wu she staggered and fell to the ground, she was so tired.
She has been worrying all day and hasn't eaten for a long time. Now she just feels that the world is spinning and her eyes are black. After a while, she fell asleep leaning against the coconut tree...
The sea breeze in the middle of the night brought bursts of damp and cold water vapor, and the girl under the coconut tree tightened her single clothes, whispering lightly in her uneasy sleep, whispering softly:
"Every year..."
Hearing this, Si Wangqiu sat up, put his hand on Wu's forehead, found some antipyretics from somewhere, and fed them to Wu with water.
He watched for a while, seeing that she was fine, then lay back in the nest, still thinking about who Nian Nian was...
When Wu woke up leisurely, it was not yet dawn, and the night sky was guarding the last bit of starlight.
Taking advantage of the remaining moonlight, Wu once again looked at the messy uncle in front of her.
His facial features are actually quite handsome, but his unkempt hair hides his appearance greatly.
What impresses her deeply is that this uncle is very good at drawing. It is just simple lines drawn by stones on the ground, but it takes into account perspective and three-dimensional beauty. It seems easy, but without solid painting skills, it is impossible to draw .This is also the reason why she was willing to believe in him at the beginning. She always felt that people who like to paint are not too bad.
The sound of seabirds came from a distance, which was not pleasant and disturbing.
Who is targeting him like this?
Will it arrive at the embassy smoothly tomorrow?
Are your domestic friends in a hurry?
She is also in a hurry...
The sea breeze is blowing, and the coconut trees are swaying. On this unknown beach in a foreign country, facing a stranger who can't understand Chinese, Wu suddenly had the idea to say:
"You know what? I missed a very important exam..."
The homeless uncle turned over and turned his head towards her, with his eyes still closed.
She Wu continued, "I made an agreement with the person I like to pass the exam and then go to American University to study together, but I missed the appointment..."
"She must be very disappointed..." She raised her head and looked at the distant place that could not see the end.
"She is a very good person, she loves to laugh, her smile is super sweet, super healing..." Wu has a gentle look in her eyes, "She is very cute, she will act like a baby to me, and she will often put it in my pocket. candy···"
As Wu spoke, she touched her pocket subconsciously, and then her eyes lit up. In the depth of the pocket lay a piece of chocolate biscuit that Si Huanian had put into it at some unknown time.
Wu's eyes became more gentle, she unwrapped the wrapping paper, split the biscuit in two, put a piece in front of Si Wangqiu, and then bit her own piece.
Sweet and fragrant entrance, where is the Yiren, who is sighing softly:
"I like her very much, but we are not together."
She was a little reluctant to finish eating, and swallowed the biscuits in small bites, with scruples, regrets, and deep miss in her eyes.
Si Wangqiu sat up suddenly, startling her Wu. He picked up the biscuit she placed in front of him, stuffed it in one gulp, then leaned back against the coconut tree, and just stayed with her without saying a word.
She inevitably thought, this uncle has never spoken since we met, so he must be dumb...
The stars fade and the sun rises.
The two successfully boarded a fishing boat and came to Sudao Island in the Philippines. It seemed more developed here, and the locals occasionally communicated in English, which she could understand, and she quickly found out the location of the embassy.
***
Chinese embassy in Guosu City, Philippines.
In the duty office, two middle-aged staff members were still on their lunch break. One was playing poker games on his mobile phone, and the other was facing the computer, checking domestic current affairs news.
"Is there anything new in China recently?"
"It's just the usual ones... eh? Let me read this to you: The No. [-] student in the professional examination of the Beijing University of the Arts disappeared in front of his house two days ago, and he hasn't been found yet."
"It's been so long since I haven't heard from you, maybe it's more ominous..."
"Yeah, there are too many things going on in Beijing City, unlike a small place like ours, which has been calm for several months..."
"Do you have a picture? Let me see what the champion of art looks like?"
"Yes, here, it's quite a delicate and delicate child."
"The angle of this photo is not good. It was taken with a slap in the face. The real person should look better than the photo..."
···
While the two staff members were still in high spirits, discussing how good-looking the No. [-] scholar in the photo would be in real life, a face that was exactly the same as the photo appeared on the top of their computer screens.
"Well, sorry, I want to ask for help."
staff member:"······"
It's really exactly the same, it's still three-dimensional, with flesh and blood, it really can't be real anymore!
"Hello?" Wu asked again politely.
The two staff members exchanged glances silently. What kind of devil's superpower is this? !What do you want? !
No one can understand how unreal they feel in the Philippine embassy thousands of kilometers away from Beijing.
An hour later, the situation was finally clarified. After several sighs, Wu was soon arranged to return to China.
The Sushi embassy is busy now, the transnational missing persons case is a big case.
When she asked the staff to help her to report the safety of her domestic friends first, the wandering uncle who had been following her behind her suddenly spoke:
"That... buy a ticket for me to go back too." Si Wangqiu took out a frayed Chinese passport from his pocket, and put it in front of the two staff members, "I am also a lost overseas Chinese."
Wu she: "!!!!!!"
Now it's her turn to be surprised...
Excuse me, are you tm Chinese? !
Then what are you playing with me these two days? I guess what you draw!What are you playing and you can't understand Chinese! ! !
***
On the return flight, Si Wangqiu and Wu she looked at each other silently.
"Don't look at me like that, you didn't ask me if I'm Chinese..." Si Wangqiu said with an innocent expression.
He didn't talk much at first, so it was normal for her to be misunderstood by Wu. As for the fact that he didn't speak up until then, it was because he wanted to make fun of this junior. He heard the young man's secret and didn't blush.
Wu rushed to her throat with a mouthful of old blood, "You are ruthless."
She can't get too fussy with this uncle, he is her savior no matter what, it's just a matter of being heard... I hope he will forget it after hearing it.
When the plane landed, Si Wangqiu didn't leave his name, and waved goodbye to her before the exit like a hero with a story, "Little friend, see you by fate."
After walking a few steps, he turned around again, and added half-jokingly and half-experiencedly, "If you like it, go after it boldly. When that person is chased away, it will be too late for you to regret it."
She froze in place, she was a little angry just thinking about the possibility of Si Huanian being chased away.
"Wu her, Wu her!"
Lu Yi was waving from afar in the waiting area for the airport pick-up. Standing beside her was Mr. Feng, the judge who had met in the scholarship competition before.
She Wu looked behind them again, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, Si Huanian was not there.
"Aren't you hurt?"
"No. I met a kind person to help."
"Oh, it's good that it's okay. The police are already looking for clues and will give you an explanation."
She Wu nodded, and finally asked, "Did Si Huanian...didn't say anything?"
"She knows about your safety." As if guessing what she was thinking, Lu Yi added, "She couldn't come, she had some trouble with her family, and she was locked up. Let me tell you to rest well."
"Oh."
She suppressed her miss, and the uncle's sentence "If you like it, go after it boldly..." echoed in her heart over and over again.
The author has something to say: Si Wangqiu: Who would have thought that I advise my son-in-law to be bold...
She Wu: Who would have thought that I confessed to my father-in-law first...
☆, she is in love
The disappearance case has received enough attention from the Beijing police, but the other party committed the crime very carefully. She did not see the original kidnapper at all. Except that the license plate in the surveillance was a stolen van, almost no clues were left behind. The progress of the whole case very slowly.
Ling Luo was dealing with a lot of mess in the company alone. This time, because of the close attention of the police, she was almost exposed, so she had no choice but to completely cut off contact with her there. Next time, she will not be able to touch Wu like this again...
The phone rang, and the butler He Bo finally had good news. Ling Luo quickly asked the driver to come over and hurried home.
Just entering the door, "Where is Si Wangqiu?"
Uncle He looked embarrassed, "Sir, he... came back to freshen up briefly, brought a few clothes, and left again..."
"Where did you go?"
"This... I asked, but he didn't say..."
Ling Luo couldn't afford to sit on the sofa, and the little eagerness and thoughts along the way turned into shame, anger and desolation at this moment.
The oil portrait was still hanging on the wall of the living room, and the neat family of three in the picture also looked ironic at this time.
Ling Luo's gaze stayed on the man's face in the picture for a long time, and suddenly he wanted to cry.
Could it be that when Si Wangqiu left home, his expression was just like his in the painting, indifferent and unfeeling, after such a long time apart, he didn't even want to see her.
Is the marriage that I tried my best to fight for back then so unworthy of happiness?
She has done so many good and bad things for him, are they all just a waste of effort?
Ling Luo covered his eyes and sobbed silently.
Si Huanian has been alone in the room for several days, and she doesn't even know that her father has come back. Her mobile phone was confiscated, and she can only get news of Wu's well-being from the housekeeper, Bo Na.
After a brief reassurance, there was a huge, Wu panic that she almost couldn't come back.Stunned, taken away, sent to another country... Every scene is too thrilling for her to imagine.
Si Huanian squatted in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, wrapping her arms tightly around herself. At this moment, she really wanted Wu to give her a firm and specific hug, to confirm the lost and regained truth in her heart.
I really want to hug her...
***
Three months later.
Lu Yi dragged the suitcase and stopped at the entrance. Today is the day for the first American freshmen to report.
Wu had to face a year of re-examination because she missed the cultural class, and Lu Yi chose to live on campus at American University, so today is also the day they officially bid farewell to their roommate life.
Lu Yi looked back at Wu who was still eating breakfast, feeling a little sad, and finally said goodbye, "Then I'm leaving..."
Wu raised her head, saw Lu Yi's sad expression, supported the calmness on her face, and teased, "Let's go, do you want me to take you to school?"
"No need..." Lu Yi waved his hand, wanted to say something more, but didn't know how to express it, and finally asked, "You are fine."
"Of course I will be fine." Wu smiled slightly, "You go to Meida and continue to work hard. I will look for you next year."
"Well, I'll wait for you."
The door closed, the sound of the luggage wheel became farther and farther away, and the smile on Wu's face gradually faded.
Just trying to be brave, in fact, she is not good at all.
Almost no one can deal with it easily, such a helpless and lonely start again.
The family lost Lu Yi's things and became much empty. This kind of sadness after parting must always be borne by those who stay behind.
Wu continued to eat her breakfast tastelessly, thinking of another person in her heart:
At this time, Si Huanian should be on his way to Meida, right?
No, maybe she hasn't set out yet at home, she likes to go out at the last minute, and then rush over on the verge of being late, no matter what you say, she can't persuade her to give up the ten minutes of lazy sleep...
like a child...
American University has started school, so her mother shouldn't put her in confinement, right?Now that she got the phone, would she want to contact her?
···
The phone was silent all the time, Wu she sighed, packed up the dishes and prepared to go out, today is also the day she returns to Shuren Studio to report.
Even if it is a repetition, the daily practice cannot be let go.
Passing by the convenience store at the exit of the subway station, Wu still habitually bought a can of Wangzai milk.
The aluminum cans taken out of the freezer were covered with water vapor, condensed into beads, and slipped down from Wangzai's eyes. She lowered her eyes, are you crying, no one wants you today?
She Wu arrived not early, and the studio was already full of seven or eight students, except for a few fellow sufferers who were also repeating the study, and they were all unfamiliar faces.
Wu is considered a celebrity in the studio. When she passed by, some novelty or regretful eyes glanced at her, which felt like a thorn on her back.
She tried her best to maintain a normal pace, and walked to the corner by the window where she often sat.
There were two easels side by side, one belonged to me and the other once belonged to Si Huanian. They were very close to each other, and they seemed to be like this all the time.
She sat in her seat, knowing that it was meaningless, she still put the can of milk on the easel next to her, and helped Si Huanian to occupy a seat as usual, stubbornly not wanting a newcomer to sit there.
There are newcomers coming into the studio constantly, and when the class is about to start, the seats are getting more and more full, and there is a faint tendency to not enough seats.
Wu she sighed inaudibly, and helplessly slowly raised her hand, and shook it to the little person who was still "crying" on the easel beside her...
An unusually familiar hand appeared in the line of sight, with pink and slender fingers nimbly squeezed, taking the milk one step ahead of her.
"Are you going to grab my milk?"
That voice was as sweet as strawberries, as soft as marshmallows, as she had been thinking about Wu for three months.
Si Huanian wore a pink dress today, which was scorchingly beautiful under the sun, her eyes were full of joy, and there was also a trace of grievance after waiting for a long time.
Wu was so shocked that she was a little stupid, her lips trembled, she stared blankly at the sweetheart she hadn't seen for 93 days, 2232 hours, and once suspected that she was still dreaming.
I saw that hand put down the milk, then reached out to Wu's cheek, caressingly caressing the contours of her profile that had become more and more obvious in the past three months, bringing a real and warm touch.
"I lost weight..."
Wu was finally able to be sure of what had happened. She stood up, and without hesitation, under the eyes of everyone, embraced the person in front of her with powerful affection, just like she had imagined countless times at night.
Si Huanian closed her eyes and hugged back, she finally got this tight and tender hug.
The worries and grievances of the past few months became worthwhile at the moment when the pillow touched Wu's shoulders, and the blankness in my heart was finally filled, and there was a faint overflow of happiness.
It's good that you're still here.
It's great that the people you care about also care about you.
"It's almost done." Lao Hu's voice sounded piercingly in the studio, and there was a trace of excitement that he deliberately hid, "Two bastards, one missed the exam, and the other forgot to fill in the answer sheet, shame on you, next time If you make these moths for me again, I will ignore you."
She Wu and Si Huanian hurriedly separated, lowered their heads and sat back in their seats a little shyly, not seeing the faintly raised corners of Lao Hu's mouth.
"Did you forget to fill in the answer sheet?"
"Careless, I thought I was in a stable group."
Si Huanian left a white lie and happily enjoyed the happiness he had gained.
After the tutoring class was over, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not participate in the evening self-study at the same time. They walked along a street in Beijing that did not know where to go, forgetting the time.
The evening wind is blowing, and the ambiguity in the air can be turned into intoxicating wine.The two walked from the street scene to the lake, from one end of the park to the other end of the park, and she finally spoke:
Wu she: "You..."
Si Huanian: "Huh?"
do you like me?
Would you like to be with me?
can you be my girlfriend
How much can she say, Wu she was on the verge of speaking, but couldn't hold back a word.Her personality is too restrained, and it is not so difficult for her to take the initiative to say these things.
"You..." Wu's face was flushed, and after a long time you finally said, "What type of person do you like...?"
Well, this is Wu's limit.
Si Huanian stopped in his tracks, turned to face her Wu, pursed his lips and smiled sweetly, his eyes curved into a heart-warming arc with small lying silkworms.
"I like people who are gentle and careful..." Si Huanian's eyes reflected Wu's shadow, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised, "People who like to teach me how to draw Chinese paintings, people who bring me milk every day, people who can secretly Look at me, people who care about me silently, people who like to pamper me and smile at me..."
Si Huanian slowly approached her body, there was a scorching wave slowly surging in the air, and finally when Si Huanian put his hands around her neck, it was boiling hot.
Since she is so timid, let me take the initiative.
"Do you want to be more specific?" Si Huanian's voice seemed to be hooked, drawing Wu's body closer and closer, and finally stopped at a point where she could kiss Wu with her head down. Distance, "I like... people like you."
How could she bear such a big tease? After finally stopping her uncontrollably trembling body, she closed her eyes, lowered her head, and completed the last brave step almost devoutly.
Kiss her lips.
Wu's kiss was jerky and immature, but gentle and considerate. She carefully sucked Si Huanian's lips, which was the first ignorant and sweet temptation in her life.
The world was turned upside down, and the stars moved, only the two people who kissed each other were tightly entwined and became a bond of love.
Si Huanian wrapped her happiness tightly around her, whispering her name every time he needed to breathe lightly, "Wu She... Wu She..."
------------【Reminiscence---Parents' Love Chapter: Qinghan · Jinnian】------------
20 years ago, Gaoqiao, Sucheng.
In the moonlight, when the eighth lantern floated in the river under the bridge, Wu Qinghan finally waited until her beloved girl nodded and said yes.
Xia Jin looked at Wu Qinghan with a young smile, jumping up and down, as happy as a child, and couldn't help shaking her head, "Stupid not stupid."
"Hahaha, Jinnian, you will be mine from now on~" Wu Qinghan didn't look like an adult, and walked around in a circle, "Do you know? I even thought of the name of our future child .”
Xia Jinnian laughed and said, "Are you so thick-skinned?"
"Our child is called her Wu."
Wu Qinghan held Xia Jinnian's hand and put it on his chest, his eyes were sincere and determined, "Wu she represents, my world is only you without her, love with one heart and one mind."
Xia Jinnian stared blankly at Wu Qinghan. At that moment, she felt that maybe in this lifetime, she would be addicted to the tenderness of these eyes...
"Hahaha, if you give birth to a boy in the future, if you call him a boy, will you be suspected of being a broken sleeve?"
"It's a boy, I'll think of another name!!!"
"Hahahaha~"
------------【End of Memories---Parents' Love Chapter: Qinghan · Jinnian】------------
"My dad said, if you meet someone you like, you can tell her the meaning of my name."
"Oh? What is it?"
She stood up straight to make Si Huanian lean more comfortably. At the same time, she tightened her arms and gently stroked Si Huanian's long hair with her fingertips.
"My name comes from a promise. My father said, we Wu family members, if we love someone, we will be wholehearted, only you without her."
Si Huanian's heart was so soft that she felt that it was the most beautiful love story she had ever heard in her life.
The evening breeze at the end of summer was soft and just right. On the bench under the weeping willows by the lake, two figures sat snuggled together. The kitten that ate the fish.
"She Wu, you will always be with me, right?"
"Correct."
"My father is very cold, and my mother is very fierce. I might embarrass you in the future. Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid."
"My family is very rich, very rich, will it scare you away?"
"will not."
Wu's voice was steady and firm, and there was continuous warmth coming from the intertwined palms.
Since the last bursary incident, when Ling's employees called Si Huanian "Miss", she had already vaguely guessed Si Huanian's family background.
At present, she has not regressed in love, just like her father did in the past, she will not give up fighting for her own happiness because of the disparity in status and status, what's more, she is confident that in the future, she can give Si Huanian the life she wants only by herself.
"I haven't told you about my parents, have I?"
By the side of the person she likes, she relaxes physically and mentally, opens her heart, and tells a beautiful but sad love story...
The mandarin ducks in the lake swam a few laps, and Si Huanian switched back and forth between joy, anger and sadness following what Wu told her about her parents.
···
"So you are Aunt Jinnian's child. No wonder the Xia family targeted you so much at that time. Humph, I hate you!" Si Huanian clenched his fists angrily, "Don't worry, you will be the son-in-law of the Si family from now on, and the Xia family dare not bully you." your!"
Wu's expression froze for a moment. She was originally in a sad mood, but she almost couldn't laugh out loud when she heard the word "son-in-law" suddenly.
"What are you laughing at?" Si Huanian was puzzled.
She gently touched Si Huanian's forehead with her brows and eyes, and said with a smile, "I like Madam's positioning of me very much."
Si Huanian: "..."
What's the matter with feeling a big loss?
The author has something to say: Wu Qinghan: Huh~ Fortunately, the baby is a daughter...
Sahua~Volume [-] is over~The next volume will quickly skip the repetition and enter the university~
I'm also looking forward to the day of comments~
☆, the beginning of the university
one year later.
Wu She and Si Huanian successfully passed the two exams and received the admission notice from the University of the United States.Wu's ranking this year is still strong, and she has become an existence that many students of the same level are far away from each other.
The background of Shuren Studio’s admissions website has been changed to a normal photo of her this year, but the copywriting is still "touching": the unlucky repeater champion who struggled in adversity...
It is worth mentioning that in the past year, under the introduction of Mr. Feng, Wu has established a cooperative relationship with an authoritative gallery in Beijing that specializes in the collection and auction of traditional Chinese paintings. Wu will regularly entrust her original works to the other party for auction. As a result, she has a stable and decent source of income, so she also declined Ling's continuing to provide her with educational assistance.
After signing a contract with the gallery, Wu began to sign her works under the pseudonym "She Nian". Over time, this newcomer to traditional Chinese painting named "Her Nian" began to gain a firm foothold in the art circle of Beijing, and there was a faint feeling that she was getting more and more popular. trend.

Daiichi University of Fine Arts, Freshman Enrollment Day.
Early in the morning, a row of registration tables were set up at the school gate according to the disciplines: Department of Oil Painting, Department of Traditional Chinese Painting, Department of Printmaking, Department of Mural Painting, Department of Design...
In order to support the scene, several pieces of works of their own category were placed beside the registration table of each discipline, and the mural painting department was the most eye-catching. It should be no time to prepare, so I directly deducted a wall from the mural painting studio...
"Lu Yi, our Chinese painting department only puts on these things... won't it be too shabby?"
At the reporting point of the Department of Chinese Painting, a second-year senior pointed to the few brushes hanging on the pen holder on the table, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"It's okay, our Chinese painting department puts more emphasis on teaching than tools, so don't pay attention to these details..." Lu Yi stretched her neck, her eyes wandered among the crowd of freshmen who kept coming in the distance, as if there was someone she was looking forward to seeing.
"Hey? Have you heard? This year's entrance examination is the first place, and it seems to apply for our Chinese painting department."
"Of course, I know her very well."
"I heard that
