There was silence in the room.

Lin Qingping stood in the house, looking at him standing at the door.

The two people's eyes passed through the crowd in the living room and met in the sea breeze with the fragrance of gardenia.

He was standing in the backlight, so I couldn't see what was in his eyes, or even whether his appearance had changed. I could only see him standing there in his training suit. The tropical sun and clouds painted the sky behind him into a magnificent painting.

After a brief eye contact and a brief silence, the military wives in the room suddenly woke up with Zhiyuan's clear and surprised "Dad Gu".

"I...I'm going to pick up the kids. Where are they going to play?"

"I...it's time for our old Li to come back. I'm leaving too."

"Then...I'll go home and make dinner too!"

The military wives found all kinds of excuses and quickly left the house.

Zhiyuan stood between his father Gu and his mother, looking left and right, and saw that the two were still staring at each other, as if there was glue in each other's eyes, and they couldn't be separated.

Zhiyuan inexplicably felt that he should go to his room at this time.

Finally, Gu Juncheng and Lin Qingping were the only ones left in the small living room.

The sounds of the military wives returning could be heard outside the house.

Lin Qingping saw Lei Sufang's figure flash past behind Gu Juncheng.

The still picture finally moved.

Lin Qingping leaned forward and asked outside, "Sister Lei, come in and sit down!"

Lei Sufang poked her head in and smiled, "We won't sit here anymore. It was Yuqiu who left something behind... I'll go back with her to get it..."

Lei Sufang quickly pulled someone out from behind him, pushed him into the door, frowned and whispered, "Hurry up!"

Yuqiu was the family member of the deputy division commander on the island, a new friend of Lin Qingping. She blushed and smiled, "I'll take my things and leave..."

He said he would take the thing and leave, and he really did take the thing and leave. Before he could finish a sentence, he just grabbed the thing and left. The word "leave" was only said outside.

After this disturbance, Gu Juncheng also resumed his activity from the static picture.

As he moved his eyes away from her face, he glanced around the house.

Sofa and long table.

There were paintings on the walls, small wild island flowers on the table, and several plates full of snacks.

A familiar scene and feeling.

Just with these few things added, somehow the room seemed to suddenly become full.

"I...I'll go take a shower first." Gu Juncheng lowered his head and went into the inner room.

When he passed by Lin Qingping, he smelled a faint fragrance, the same scent as the small white wild flowers on the island. The scene he saw when he just walked to the door emerged in his mind.

There were a lot of people in the room, and as the host, she gave all the good seats to the guests, and she moved a small stool and sat in the most inconspicuous corner.

But, by chance, the first person I saw when I stood at the door was her.

And, only she was seen.

She dressed simply.

She was wearing a pure white, plain short-sleeved pullover, similar to the old men's shirts worn when taking a walk in the capital. It was wide, long and baggy on her.

It was really too simple, but even with that attire, she was still the only one to be seen in the crowd.

At that time, she was holding a small teacup, taking a sip of tea, smiling slightly, and listening to the military wives around her talking. The sunlight shone on her face, her skin was as clear and smooth as jade, with a faint soft glow.

There was no dedicated shower room at home, so he usually used a bucket of water and a bar of soap to shower in the backyard, with only a curtain drawn around three sides.

Today, he could only do the same, except that he fetched three buckets of water and applied soap three times.

When he was about to fetch the fourth bucket of water, Lin Qingping opened the back door and came out with a sullen face, and lifted the curtain.

Because he was taking a shower outdoors, although there was a curtain blocking his view, he was still wearing shorts and did not dare to take off all his clothes. But even so, when Lin Qingping lifted the curtain, he subconsciously used the bucket to block in front of himself.

Lin Qingping lifted the curtain, looked at him with her chin up, and said in a light tone, "Are you going to steam yourself in a steamer?"

Gu Juncheng was speechless for a moment.

"If you don't know, you might be Tang Monk. Wash it clean so you can steam it and eat it." Lin Qingping said something that Gu Juncheng didn't understand. At this moment, the 87 version of Journey to the West hasn't been released yet!

Lin Qingping made a "tsk" sound, let go of the curtain, and went back into the house.

Gu Juncheng had no reason to continue wasting time, so he wiped himself clean, changed his clothes, and returned to the house. He put on a vest and long pants, and his hair was still dripping with water.

Lin Qingping was sitting on the sofa, holding a notebook and writing something.

The tea drunk by the military wives and the peeled fruit shells on the table had been cleaned up.

He sat down opposite her and reached for the cup on the table, wanting to drink a glass of water.

Lin Qingping glanced at him and said, "This is my cup!"

His hands stiffened and he put the cup down again.

Lin Qingping didn't seem to be in a hurry at all and kept drawing on the paper.

Gu Juncheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "What are you drawing?"

Lin Qingping showed him the notebook, "Here, this is the front yard. We need to build a fence around it. From the fence to the gate, we need to pave a cement path and divide it into plots. I wonder what kind of flowers are suitable for growing on this island. We need to plant some flowers."

She pointed at the fence again and said, "We need to plant climbing flowers here, either roses or bougainvillea will do. I saw that you have red bougainvillea on your island, and it blooms very beautifully, but I don't know if it can be used as a climbing vine, or if it can cover the entire fence."

Gu Juncheng frowned and looked at her.

She didn't know whether she really didn't see it or was pretending not to see it. She pointed at another place with the tip of her pen and said, "This is the backyard. I didn't know that the curtain was where you took a bath. Since you take a bath there, then make a bathroom there. It happens to be behind the kitchen, so it should be convenient to connect the water pipes."

"As for the backyard, let's grow some vegetables. We can't eat seafood every day." Lin Qingping drew a circle in the corner again, "This place...it would be great if we could build a barbecue..."

She tapped her head lightly with her pen and began to frown in thought.

"No, Lin Qingping..." Gu Juncheng took her notebook away, frowned slightly, and asked her, "Why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Also, you who write and draw, what are you planning?

Lin Qingping snatched the notebook back and pointed at the picture on it, "What's going on? Don't you understand? I drew it clearly and explained it clearly."

Gu Juncheng's face was gloomy, "I don't understand."

Lin Qingping threw the notebook down and said, "I said that life needs different experiences."

"So, how was your experience?" Gu Juncheng grabbed her hands and saw that her originally fair and delicate hands were covered with fine bloodstains and there were faint ink marks on her fingertips that could not be washed off. "Is this your experience?"
