Sleeping in the middle of the night, Shi Shilei suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the bed curtain, but the carvings on the top of the bed could not be seen clearly.

He touched Fu Qinruo's hand by his hand, hooked his fingers without thinking, and didn't care whether he was tired or sleepy, turned around and locked his waist and buried his face.

Fu Qinruo woke up quickly, raised his arms to hug him in a blur, and turned his body sideways.

"What's the matter?" He slowly stroked Shi Shilei's back for a while, his voice was soft and waxy, obviously sleepy.

Shi Shilei had a sore nose, and said in a low voice, "I dreamed that you left me."

Fu Qinruo's arm stiffened slightly.For a moment, he lowered his head, softly stroked Shi Shilei's ear with his dry lips, and said, "Don't worry."

After all, after a dream, Shi Shilei didn't feel sleepy any more, and Shi Shilei blinked, sticking too close, and his eyelashes brushed off the button of Fu Qinruo's clothes.Rubbing his shoulder sideways, Shi Shilei raised his head and asked, "What did you tell your grandparents today? Did they ask anything?"

"Huh?" Because Shi Shilei asked this question during the day, Fu Qinruo seemed to be confused when he brought it up again.

He pursed his lips and said, "It's an ordinary family. If the only grandson falls in love with a man, there will be chaos. But your family is too simple, right? I don't need to do anything."

In the darkness, Fu Qinruo was silent for a long time.Shi Shilei was nervous, as he was thinking about what to say, so he had to wait patiently.

"They asked about you and the situation at home. I told them what I knew..." He paused, then added, "But they didn't say anything about your previous job."

Hearing this, Shi Shilei's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't know how to answer the words.

Fu Qinruo also calmed down, but his breathing was stronger than in his sleep.He clasped Shi Shilei's wrist with his fingers, and said in a soft voice: "I know that you usually spend more money than ordinary people, but if you want to make money in the future, you should find a serious job, okay?"

Shi Shilei clasped his fingers lightly, and frowned.

"If there is no money to spend, I will give it to you." Fu Qinruo said.

Hearing this, Shi Shilei finally calmed down, broke away from his hand, and asked: "Do you think that I am not ashamed but proud when I go out to sell? I am very disorderly and immoral, right? ?”

Seeing him sitting up angrily, Fu Qinruo had no choice but to stand up too, and said, "I don't think so."

Shi Shilei sneered twice, turned his head and said: "That's what you think, but you don't know it. You talk to me in such an equal way, isn't it because you are afraid of hurting my self-esteem? So, in your consciousness Li, you just think that I like to sell, so you have to respect me."

Hearing this, Fu Qinruo's complex expression was not so obvious in the darkness, but his lips were tightly pursed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shi Shilei immediately lifted the quilt, kicked his legs a few times, and shouted: "Get out of the way, I want to go down!" Seeing that Fu Qin didn't move at all, he simply stood up, who knows The child hit the top of the bed with a loud "bang", and it was hit by the carved rosewood top, making the eyes stare.

"Ah!" He staggered and fell back on the bed, "Hello!"

Before he recovered, Fu Qinruo hugged him back into his arms.Where is Shi Shilei willing to let him touch her?No matter how painful the bump on the top of his head was, he grabbed his hand and wanted to tear it away, shouting: "Let go of me! Crazy!"

"Stop making trouble, it's midnight." Fu Qinruo frowned and urged in a low voice.

"Okay, I won't make trouble. You give me money first before you can touch me." Shi Shilei was still pulling his hand away while talking, but he didn't expect that Fu Qinruo, who was so frail, didn't know Where did so much strength come from, let alone trying to break free from him, the hands that locked his waist almost made him breathless.

Fu Qinruo's wrist was gripped hotly by him, and his tone was helpless, but his tone was not raised at all: "Why are you so awkward? Can't you speak well?"

Shi Shilei was so strangled by him that he couldn't move. Hearing what he said, he slumped down like a deflated ball. He turned his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I can't." Said: "Are your nerve endings dead? Doesn't it hurt? Why didn't you respond at all?"

"I let go, didn't you run away?" Fu Qinruo answered the wrong question.

Hearing that something stepped on Shi Shilei's heart, he still pursed his lips and raised his eyes, "Aren't you in pain? I can't even breathe well."

Fu Qinruo fell silent, let go of one hand and turned on the night light next to him.

The orange light cast a halo, and Shi Shilei couldn't help being startled when he saw the hand on the other side that turned on the light.

"Drink water? I'll pour you a glass of water." After Fu Qinruo finished speaking, he lifted the quilt to get out of bed.

I don't know if he just saw the light, but he also seemed to see the arc drawn by Fu Qinruo's snow-white hand when he retracted from the lamp, and the red marks on the wrist and back of the hand were left on the retina.Hearing his words, Shi Shilei was shocked, and quickly hugged him from behind, put her face behind his ear, and kissed him behind his ear.

Fu Qinruo smiled lightly and said, "Itches."

Shi Shilei refused, bit his ear lightly, and said angrily, "If you say that again in the future, I will ignore you." But he knew in his heart that even if Fu Qin ignored him, he would still Will post it upside down.

Hearing this, Fu Qinruo sighed silently, lowered his head and patted his hand, and said patiently: "You are still in school, so I should take care of it. Didn't I say it? I will take good care of you."

Thinking of his bad things, Shi Shilei puffed his cheeks, and said: "I don't want you to worry about it, and you can't worry about it."

"Although I'm not as rich as those CEOs, I can still pay for your college education. If you want to go to graduate school, I can continue to support you." Fu Qinruo said seriously.

Shi Shilei chuckled, causing him to turn around strangely.

"You're jealous, Mr. Fu." Shi Shilei put his hands on his shoulders and tapped the tip of his nose lightly.

Fu Qinruo lowered his eyes and didn't deny anything.

Probably because his appearance looks too innocent, even if Shi Shilei has many trivial matters to worry about, he is not willing to share any of them with him.He could only see Fu Qinruo in front of his eyes, the dim light in his eyes was shining through his long eyelashes, he was as quiet as a painting, and he couldn't think of anything else.

"Ah!" Shi Shilei suddenly couldn't take it anymore and yelled loudly.

Fu Qinruo was startled, raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

With a bitter face, Shi Shilei said aggrievedly: "What should I do? I won't be able to see you when I go back to school after school starts. Although the fare is not expensive, it is not an option to go back and forth. Moreover! Calling across cities is still long-distance What to do, what to do! Brother Qinruo!"

Before Fu Qinruo really thought about it, Shi Shilei had already pressed his shoulders and kissed him.

Fu Qinruo was taken aback and was overturned on the pillow before coughing lightly. Shi Shilei had already taken the opportunity to stick the tip of his tongue into his mouth.

His tongue has always been clever, sliding and flying between his lips and teeth dexterously, Fu Qinruo felt his separated legs pressing on his hip bones, and vaguely heard him say indistinctly: "Qin Ruo Brother, stick out your tongue."

There was no gap in this kiss, Fu Qinruo supported the back of his neck, raised his head and let the tip of his tongue slide along Shi Shilei's gums, the wet and slippery touch seemed to be addicted to each other.

Not even air.

"Ah." Shi Shilei's eyes darkened, but he still had to give up and fell to the side.

Fu Qinruo gasped for breath, eyes were also gray, turned to look at his frowning face, and patted his face: "Idiot, breathe."

"I know!" Shi Shilei was baffled by his own jerky, and replied angrily.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, turned sideways, and looked at Shi Shilei who was still panting without saying a word.

Seeing his half-smile from the corner of the eye, Shi Shilei narrowed his eyes, and suddenly went up to bite the tip of his nose: "I want to absorb all your aura and swallow you into my stomach."

Fu Qinruo was stunned and blinked twice.

"In this way, I can take you with me. When I miss you, I can take it out for a hug, kiss, write, draw, and chat with me~" Shi Shilei said happily.

He smiled and said, "Then you are not a fairy anymore?"

Shi Shilei didn't take it seriously, but raised his chin with a somewhat proud look: "I was originally!"

Fu Qinruo suppressed a smile and nodded.

But these were just jokes after all, and couldn't solve the actual problem. Shi Shilei took his hand and said coquettishly, "What should I do? When I think about breaking up, I won't be able to see you until the weekend. I really miss you."

Fu Qinruo was taken aback: "Huh?"

Shi Shilei pursed her mouth, bent down and threw herself into his arms, and said in a childlike voice, "Brother Qinruo, what should I do~ I miss you so much~"

"This is not..." Fu Qinruo laughed, but still didn't finish the sentence.He raised his hand to comfort him slowly, and after a while, he said, "It's okay. I'll find you when I have time. It doesn't make sense if you always come to me."

"En." He nodded, rubbing his forehead on Fu Qinruo's chest twice.

"Like a child." Fu Qinruo said softly, but not long after, he heard Shi Shilei breathing evenly in his arms.

There was such a commotion in the middle of the night, Shi Shilei slept until dawn.If he hadn't heard the sound of sweeping rain from downstairs, he would not know where he was.

The blanket was so warm that he wished he could stay in it all the time.

Shi Shilei rolled on the bed several times, trying to open his eyes, but he still couldn't.After sleeping intermittently for a while, Shi Shilei suddenly remembered that he lived at the house of Fu Qinruo's grandparents.He opened his eyes suddenly and saw that the sun was already rising outside, so he jumped out of bed immediately in fright.

Fu Qinruo didn't know where he went.

He was about to look for shoes, but remembered that he didn't wear slippers yesterday, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, so he had to go outside with bare feet.

Who would have thought that when he opened the door, he saw Fu Qinruo standing outside the corridor talking to his grandma, Shi Shilei was shocked, and before he could flash back into the room, his grandma had already caught him.

"Shi Shi, are you awake?" Grandma Fu asked with a gentle smile.

Shi Shilei's forehead froze, and he tried his best to smile: "Good morning, grandma."

"Well, did you wash up?" She looked at Fu Qinruo, and still smiled at Shi Shilei, "Get up and drink a cup of hot water, and get ready for lunch."

Hearing this, Shi Shilei's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at Fu Qinruo with difficulty. He caught a glimpse of grandma looking down at his feet, and quickly jumped back behind Fu Qinruo.He supported Fu Qinruo's arm, poked his head out from behind him, and smiled shyly at grandma: "I got up late..."

"It's okay, it's time to grow your body, sleep more." Grandma Fu didn't care, and said to Fu Qinruo, "Find him a pair of shoes to wear, so he doesn't get cold. I'll go prepare meals first."

Upon hearing this, Shi Shilei hurriedly said, "Grandma, I'll go downstairs and help you later!"

"No, just eat the leftovers from last night for lunch, there is nothing to help." Grandma Fu waved her hand and said, "I can only eat leftovers. I'm not a guest, so let's eat together."

He was startled, and nodded numbly.

After grandma left, Shi Shilei breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Fu Qinruo frowning at him, he had to say aggrievedly, "I didn't mean to sleep in."

"Why did you come out without shoes on?" Fu Qinruo lowered his head and blamed him for this.

"I don't have any shoes to wear." Shi Shilei pouted.

He sighed, "It's such a cold day."

"Then you carry me?" Shi Shilei blinked and said with a smile.

Fu Qinruo was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a broken smile.

Shi Shilei smiled and gestured for him to turn around. Seeing that he turned around, he jumped on his back.

It rained all night, and a lot of water accumulated in the courtyard. The lanterns hanging under the eaves were also wet, and the tassels were knotted together, making them look a bit worn out.

Shi Shilei went downstairs and saw that it was Grandpa Fu sweeping the rainwater, so he quickly took over the work, swept the accumulated water into the drain between the cracks in the ground, and swept the fallen leaves into the dustpan.Although the yard was clean, there were trees planted after all, and the rainwater mixed with the soil inevitably stained Shi Shilei's slippers-wearing feet.

He looked up at the snow boots placed outside the window sill upstairs, feeling a little regretful that he didn't bring an extra pair of shoes, and now he didn't know what to wear to go out.Both feet were dirty, he took the fallen leaves in the dustpan to the trash can outside the door to dispose of them, and happened to see a middle-aged woman walking into the store, holding an umbrella in her hand The oil-paper umbrella in the cover looks familiar on the surface.

For some reason, when the woman saw Shi Shilei, she was astonished and disgusted in a blink of an eye.Shi Shilei didn't understand, blinked his eyes, and nodded politely to say hello.

The woman pursed her lips tightly, nodded lightly, and retreated to the side holding the umbrella.

Shi Shilei was baffled, but he had to take out the dustpan quickly so that the dirty water wouldn't get wet in the shop.He went out in a hurry, and after throwing away all the fallen leaves, he saw that there were still a few leaves caught between the gaps in the bamboo dustpan.Reluctantly, he didn't have a broom, so he had to twist the leaves with his fingers and throw them away.

"Tsk." Shi Shilei looked at his dirty fingertips, and suddenly remembered where he had seen that woman—she looked a bit like Liu Tiannan.

Realizing this, Shi Shilei hurriedly turned around and walked into the store, and happened to meet Fu Qinruo talking to the woman, with lowered eyebrows and a very indifferent expression.

The woman handed the umbrella to Fu Qinruo and said, "Nannan is on a business trip, I'll bring it to her."

Fu Qinruo took the umbrella, looked up and saw Shi Shilei standing by the door, and still smiled at the woman: "Thank you, auntie. I'm really sorry about this matter."

"Hehe, it's all in the past." The woman laughed twice, "I'll go back first."

He hurriedly said, "Auntie, stay for lunch?"

"No, you can eat." She turned around as she said.

Shi Shilei didn't dodge, just in time to see her walking towards her, and his eyes met her.Before Shi Shilei could speak, she had already bowed her head and left in a hurry.He didn't care, pouted, walked over and asked, "What is this?"

"The umbrella I took when we first met." Before Fu Qinruo could finish speaking, the umbrella had already been taken away by Shi Shilei.

He took off the umbrella cover and threw it aside, and quickly noticed the red string on the umbrella handle.Shi Shilei remembered that when he first met Fu Qinruo, he was wearing a white shirt and holding this oiled paper umbrella, and this red rope was wrapped around his white jade-like wrist like a long-lasting thread.

"What did she send this for?" Shi Shilei said unhappily, "Curse me?"

Fu Qinruo was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "It's nothing else, it's just sent back."

"You just gave her this?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Shi Shilei opened the umbrella on his own, and muttered, "What's the point of returning this umbrella without returning anything else? ——Good guy, look , and it's broken."

Sure enough, the umbrella didn't just look a little bit damaged, but it couldn't hold up at all. There were a few big holes in the surface of the umbrella, and it was obvious at a glance that it was man-made damage.Shi Shilei sighed, and said dryly, "Still speaking for her?"

Fu Qinruo pursed his lips, and said, "It's our fault."

He was stunned, sat on the pear wood chair next to him, turned the broken umbrella in his hand, and muttered, "That's not necessary." He was startled, then raised his head and asked, "Did she do any other strange things? "

"Huh?" Fu Qinruo frowned and shook his head slowly.

Seeing it, Shi Shilei immediately guessed that this was not the case. "Did she really do other strange things?!" He glanced outside in a strange way, and whispered, "When I just went out to take out the trash, I saw the strange eyes of the people next door. It shouldn't be like this Do you know the whole area?"

Fu Qinruo lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and asked, "You don't want others to know?"

Shi Shilei was asked a lot, put the umbrella away slowly, and said: "You didn't see the eyes of the outsiders, so maybe they are pointing and talking about your house behind your back. I don't care! You are so nice, Everyone should like you, what's wrong with me liking you? But people say that grandparents are always bad!"

"What's the matter? Wash your hands and come in for dinner." At this moment, Grandma Fu came out of the kitchen with dishes, saw the two of them stuck in the shop, and urged her.

Shi Shilei nodded quickly: "Hey!"

"What are you holding in your hand?" She asked, but took the dish away without waiting for an answer.

Seeing that Shi Shilei was still worried, Fu Qinruo said, "It's okay, you are very popular in this area."

"This area?" He rolled his eyes, "Which area?"

Fu Qinruo smiled and stretched out his finger, pointing from the door of the shop to the back door of the courtyard: "This area."

Shi Shilei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, wrinkled his nose at him, leaned over to him and said in a strange way: "Young Master Fu, you are so glib."

"It's time to eat." Grandpa Fu's voice suddenly came from behind.

Shi Shilei was taken aback, turned around and saw the old man with his hands behind his back, looking at them helplessly shaking his head, then turned around and walked into the dining room first.He stuck out his tongue, put the umbrella aside, and went to wash his hands without waiting for Fu Qinruo.

During the meal, grandma asked about the umbrella again.

After the two old people heard that Liu Tiannan's mother personally sent it over, they couldn't help scolding Fu Qinruo.Shi Shilei felt in his heart that the two families had become like this, and it was meaningless to be polite, but he couldn't say anything, so he just kept his head down and ate.

I don't know if Grandma Fu saw something, and suddenly asked: "That umbrella just now looks like it can't be used?"

After a long time, no one answered, Shi Shilei raised his head, only to realize that it was himself that grandma was asking.He bit his chopsticks, nodded and said, "Well, the umbrella surface is broken, but the ribs are still good."

"In that case, let's get it repaired and change the umbrella surface." Grandpa said.

"Well, that's right. It's been used for more than [-] years. The umbrella bone is very good. It's a pity to lose it." Grandma told Fu Qinruo, "After dinner, take it to Master Li to repair it. .Anyway, you should be fine today, right?"

Fu Qinruo shook his head to express that nothing happened.

Grandma thought for a while, then said with a smile, "It's only the first month, so I've only repaired two things."

"Alright." Grandpa said calmly.

Shi Shilei didn't quite understand what the two words Grandpa said meant.After eating, he stayed in the kitchen to wash the dishes. Fu Qinruo was called out by his grandma. When he came back, there was a braided red rope with a small Miao silver lock on his left wrist, which was particularly conspicuous on the white wrist.

Shi Shilei poured the water in the bowl: "Grandma gave it?"

"Yeah." Fu Qinruo came over to help him clean the dishes.

He blinked twice: "To ward off evil spirits? To recruit peach blossoms?"

Fu Qinruo laughed when he heard that: "It's nothing else, it's only worn in the year of birth. I didn't come back during the Chinese New Year, so I can only give it to me now."

"Ben..." Shi Shilei put down the bowl in his hand, and touched Fu Qinruo's pocket with his wet hands.

He hurriedly avoided: "What are you looking for?"

"ID card!" Shi Shilei had never looked at his ID card carefully before. Seeing his empty pockets, he said in surprise, "You are only in your birth year this year? Haven't you graduated for several years?"

Fu Qinruo was startled, nodded vaguely, and only said, "I studied early and graduated early."

"A child prodigy? Did you hurt Zhongyong?" Shi Shilei continued to wash the dishes, and then suddenly stopped after washing all the dishes, saying, "You..."

"What's wrong?" Fu Qinruo looked at him hesitant to speak.

Shi Shilei stared at him for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Maybe Fu Qinruo also knew what he was thinking of, so he stopped asking him what he wanted to say.

The Fu family has lived in Shaoxing for generations, and their grandparents have also lived here for a long time, and they know many local craftsmen.The several oil-paper umbrellas at home are all custom-made from the home of Master Li, whom grandma said.

On the bus to Master Li's house, Shi Shilei found out that Master Li's family used to be long-term workers of the Fu family, and several generations had worked as servants in the Fu family.

Shi Shilei opened his eyes wide and listened to Fu Qinruo talking about things that were far away from them, looked at the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and asked, "Then their family doesn't like you?"

"Huh?" Fu Qinruo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No way. Although they are master and servant, their family has a very good relationship with our family."

He tilted his head to listen, but still shook his head slowly, feeling confused.

Seeing him like this, Fu Qin couldn't help smiling.

"What are you laughing at?" Shi Shilei was puzzled.

He still shook his head and just said, "Laugh at you, you're cute."

"What's so funny about being cute?" He glared at Fu Qinruo, holding his umbrella, and said, "Grandma said that, it's only the first month, and your family has repaired two things. It's a broken string, and a broken one." It’s unlucky to put an umbrella on your face, and it’s all because of me.”

Fu Qinruo grabbed the pole above his head, looked away from the window, but said, "Our family is still in the hands of grandpa. Grandpa said it."

Shi Shilei was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the red string on his wrist. On the small longevity lock was written the words "Entry and Exit Safe". His wish was simple and ordinary.He raised his hand, turned the little lock over to look at the other side, and couldn't help grinning: "Longevity and wealth? ——I didn't expect grandma to ask you for this?"

He glanced at it and said with a smile, "After all, it's just an ordinary family."

"Ordinary family..." Shi Shilei pursed his lips, but he couldn't think of any ordinary family like theirs that he knew.

They got off the bus at the penultimate stop.Master Li’s house is a rather large shop, and there are several oil-paper umbrellas hanging outside the door. Under the eaves of the antique facade, the patterns of flowers and birds on the umbrellas are exquisitely painted, and magpies seem to fly down from the branches.

Before entering the door, the parrot in the cage yelled "I'm back". Shi Shilei was secretly surprised when he heard it, and couldn't help laughing, and said to Fu Qinruo, "It still has a Wuyue accent?"

"Young master is here?" But an old man over sixty years old came over and greeted earnestly.

Shi Shilei was really surprised by this title, seeing that the old man's body was already bony, but his eyes were very bright.He saw that Fu Qinruo smiled and nodded at the old man, he really looked like the young master of a wealthy family in ancient times, and said softly and politely: "Hello, Uncle Ming."

Without waiting for Fu Qinruo's introduction, Shi Shilei took the initiative to speak first, "Hello, Uncle Ming, my name is Shi Shilei. You can just call me Shi Shi."

Uncle Ming probably knew something a long time ago. Although he didn't show it too clearly, he still lowered his head inadvertently when he laughed.

"There's an umbrella here that's broken, and I brought it here to fix it." After Shi Shilei finished speaking, he saw the signboard hanging by the door seriously, which was covered by several umbrellas.It's just the word "umbrella" in ancient style. Shi Shilei couldn't help being taken aback when he saw a couple walking together under the umbrella.

Uncle Ming took the umbrella from him, took a look at the umbrella cover, and said in surprise, "Isn't this the wife's umbrella? Why..." Halfway through his words, disgust appeared on his wrinkled face unconsciously. But when he met Fu Qinruo's gaze, he softened spontaneously.

Shi Shilei couldn't see clearly, so when he saw an umbrella on the table in the store that seemed to have just painted a picture of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, he walked over to look at it.

"After I borrowed it, I accidentally broke it. Grandpa said that it should be repaired, so I sent it over." Fu Qinruo explained, and seeing the umbrella, he said, "There is no rush, I will leave it at your house. Give me a call when it's repaired, and we'll come pick it up again."

Uncle Ming rubbed the umbrella in his hand, wondering: "But I have a job at hand here, and I haven't finished it yet. It's an important guest, and I don't feel relieved to hand it over to my apprentice."

Shi Shilei thought it was funny, and said: "If Fu Qin didn't say that he was not in a hurry? After you finish your work, it will be the same if you continue to repair."

"The matter of the young master's family cannot be put on hold." Uncle Ming said it seriously.

Shi Shilei was blocked for a while, and pouted, seeing that they were no longer master and servant, and Uncle Ming still looked like this, it would be boring to interrupt by himself, so he nodded, and continued to look at his painting with his hands behind his back.

"Is this one?" Fu Qinruo walked to Shi Shilei's side, gently twisted the corner of the umbrella with his fingertips, and turned a leaf.

Shi Shilei pointed to the corner and whispered, "This tile is well painted."

Fu Qinruo nodded, and heard Uncle Ming say: "I haven't written an inscription yet, I don't know what to write. There is also a folding fan over there. Hehe, this is a custom-made gift for a couple of young lovers. .”

"An umbrella too?" Shi Shilei listened and looked at Fu Qinruo meaningfully.

Fu Qinruo blushed, and only asked Uncle Ming: "The fan is not ready yet?"

"I just put the noodles on, I haven't painted yet." Uncle Ming replied.

Shi Shilei thought for a while, tugged at Fu Qinruo's sleeve, and said, "Fu Qinruo, I want to take that umbrella back to school."

He was startled, and shook his head regretfully: "It will be too late to pick up this umbrella after Uncle Ming finishes his work. Or if he fixes it, I'll send it to you?"

Shi Shilei pouted, noncommittal.

After a while, seeing that Fu Qinruo and Uncle Ming were not talking, Shi Shilei clapped his hands suddenly and said, "Fu Qinruo, why don't we help Uncle Ming write and draw, it will be all right soon? - Uncle Ming, let you Can the young master help you draw a fan? His paintings are very beautiful."

Uncle Ming was flattered when he heard this, and waved his hands: "How can I let the young master do things?"

Fu Qinruo looked at Shi Shilei with a positive face, and said, "If you don't mind, let me draw the fan for you. There are also the words on the umbrella."

Even so, Uncle Ming evaded it several times, but finally agreed with embarrassment.Shi Shilei saw his back for Fu Qinruo holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone, held back his smile, and whispered to Fu Qinruo: "He is very happy. Fu Qinruo, isn't your calligraphy well-known in this area?"

"Which area?" Fu Qinruo asked with a smile.

Shi Shilei didn't say anything.Taking advantage of Uncle Ming's inattention, he secretly kissed Fu Qinruo.

There is a blank space for an inscription on the umbrella, between the misty rain and a few red leaves.Shi Shilei sat down, took a wolf brush in his hand and dipped it in ink, rolled his eyes and wanted to write something on it - it must not be written "the scenery was once familiar".

He frowned, pulled the umbrella over, and was about to start writing, when he caught a glimpse of Uncle Ming, who had torn the umbrella aside, turned his head and stared at him, and handed the wolf hair to Fu Qinruo: "You write."

Fu Qinruo was planning to take a good look at the scenery on the umbrella so that he could draw a corresponding picture on the fan. In a blink of an eye, he saw Shi Shilei waiting for him with a pen in his hand, so he put down the folding fan, which was still white, and moved a chair to sit beside him.

"Write a word written by yourself?" Shi Shilei asked, lying on the table and looking up.

"Okay, okay!" Uncle Ming heard this and said outside, "They just want to make it by hand. It would be even better if the poems on it are unique!"

Shi Shilei let out a snort, Xin Dao's old man's hearing is really good, but he heard Fu Qinruo say: "I have low attainments, and I can't write any good words."

"Where is it?" Uncle Ming said quite unhappy.

"However, this young couple is also very affectionate. I thought of giving these as tokens of love. Now it's more like giving rings and jewelry." Shi Shilei said with emotion.

Uncle Ming chuckled and said, "Maybe it's because people in ancient times were more affectionate. They will be separated from each other. The male one will go abroad to study. I don't know when he will come back."

This surprised them, and they looked at each other.

After a while, Fu Qinruo said to Shi Shilei: "Your mind is quick, you can think about it, and I will write the inscription."

"Really?" Shi Shilei looked at him with a smile, but when he saw his eyebrows lowered, he held back his smile, "Well, let me think about it."

Originally, it was just an umbrella to be repaired, but for a few lines of poems and a fan, I still spent a whole day in Uncle Ming's shop.Uncle Ming's wife passed away, and his son was also out of town. At noon, Fu Qinruo and the others had lunch with Uncle Ming. Later, when Shi Shilei was squatting next to the faucet in the backyard to wash the dishes, Uncle Ming's apprentice came back from vacation.

The apprentice looks very ordinary. You can see the strong texture from the neck. I am afraid that there is also a powerful body wrapped under the clothes. It is impossible to imagine that he is a craftsman who makes oil-paper umbrellas and fans.

He heard that Fu Qinruo wanted to help his master with the remaining work at hand, so he came over to see Fu Qinruo's painting of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River for a while.

Shi Shilei saw with his own eyes that the languid emotion in his expression gradually disappeared, and he turned into a look of relish and endless meaning. He also looked at Fu Qinruo, who had been concentrating on painting the fan, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth while holding his cheek.

He took a piece of waste newspaper, picked up a paintbrush and wrote on it, and then he wrote the last column, when he heard Uncle Ming's apprentice ask: "What are you writing?"

"Huh? Draft." Shi Shilei scratched his cheek with the end of the pen, "Let Fu Qinruo write on the umbrella later."

He nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Whose word is this?"

Fu Qinruo also looked over when he heard the words.

Shi Shilei smiled and said, "My words."

"Counting the leaves of Hongfeng, looking again and again, getting drunk and burning pepper orchids. Moving without a shadow, gathering clouds and gathering waves, and hearing cicadas without sound." The boy read it with an obvious local accent, but the originally thick voice was soft and waxy Wu dialect, It sounded a bit awkward, but it was very gentle, "The gold bottle is bottoming out, it's sold out, and I'm worried. ——Then what?"

Shi Shilei twitched the corner of his mouth: "Then I didn't think about it."

When Fu Qinruo heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"You want to think about the last sentence?" Shi Shilei looked at him with his chin in his hands and said with a smile.

He nodded slowly and asked, "Written on this umbrella?"

"Well, since it's reserved for the girl's family, let's write this. Although it's not very good." Shi Shilei pushed his hand holding the fan, "Want one last sentence?"

"Drunkard." Fu Qinruo said.

Hearing this, Shi Shilei was taken aback for a moment, and immediately barked his teeth and claws to pinch him, seeing the boy next to him bewildered, he giggled.

Chatting and chatting, when it was dinner time, Uncle Ming's apprentice was sent out to buy vegetables, leaving Fu Qinruo and Shi Shilei in the studio.Shi Shilei still couldn't think of the last sentence, so he leaned on the high chair and swayed his legs, and then moved to Fu Qinruo's side to watch him draw a fan.

"If I go home from vacation next time, I should be able to write the last sentence." Unknowingly, Shi Shilei started talking to himself.

Fu Qinruo paused for a moment: "Leave Jiangnan?"

Shi Shilei nodded.

He was about to say something when his cell phone rang. It was the phone at home. It should be grandma calling to ask if he wanted to go home for dinner.Fu Qinruo handed over the phone to Shi Shilei, still thinking about what he said before.

"Grandma told me to go home for dinner, but Brother Xiaolan has already gone shopping." Shi Shilei returned the phone to him, and put his hands on the chair, "Should we not eat here?"

Fu Qinruo nodded: "I'll go back after writing the words. At least get the umbrella ready first. I'll come over and continue with the fan when I have free time. I'm halfway through the painting, and I'm sure I can't finish it today."

Shi Shilei nodded in agreement, then remembered something, blinked: "Did you figure out the last sentence?"

"Yeah." He held the umbrella over and began to write the sentence that Shi Shilei had written on the draft.

Shi Shilei leaned over to look, the breath was right by his hand, and the breath slowly spread on the back of Fu Qinruo's hand, stained with dampness that seemed to be absent.

The last sentence is: the most beloved person, not Fangwu, not Jiangnan.

"Not in the south of the Yangtze River..." Shi Shilei pursed his lips, and looked up at the moment when he was about to sign the payment.

Fu Qinruo still did not sign the signature in the end, saying: "No seal."

Shi Shilei was still reading the last line, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He nodded and said in a daze, "Come back to seal the seal the next day."

"En." Fu Qinruo calmly put down his pen, saw that there were two more ink marks on his wrist, and couldn't help laughing, and then looked at Shi Shilei's hands, which were also stained a lot with ink, even under the nails.

"Go wash your hands?" Shi Shilei got up and said.

There is only soap in the store, no hand sanitizer.

Shi Shilei waited for Fu Qinruo to smear soap on his hands with foam before taking the soap. The soap was so slippery that it fell to the ground.Fu Qinruo picked it up and rinsed it under the faucet. The soap was clean and the foam on his hands was gone.

When he put the soap back into the box, Shi Shilei
