unique

After that, Zhu Shen never went to the rooftop again.

After sending the painting of peach blossoms to be framed, he hid in the studio in the attic every day and did not go out.

There is a small world in all directions, filled with a silent and burning heart, and in the colorful colors, something is being extinguished by him little by little.

Zhong Heng is also very busy, and the financial section of the newspaper is full of his news every day.

During the meal, Aunt Fang seemed to have no intention of asking Zhu Shen if he wanted to read the newspaper. Zhu Shen glanced at her and nodded. Aunt Fang immediately spread it to the financial section and handed it to Zhu Shen. Went to work in the kitchen.

——Perhaps this is one of the few intersections between the two in May.

The weather was getting hotter, Zhu Shen was reluctant to go out, and the old man couldn't help but call every day to remind him.

The old man is also very cute, he never says he misses him directly, and the reasons he finds make people laugh.

On the weekend, Zhu Shen is going to celebrate the birthday of the old man's beloved lion cub.

After all, it is also a ten-year-old birthday, and the old man sent out invitations in a serious manner.

I thought it was just a pet's birthday, not too grand, and I just planned to deal with it.But when Zhu Shen came to the door, he found out that the cub's birthday was grand and grand, and even his cousin, who was able to spare time from a far away country, came here.

The old man was grinning from ear to ear, only then did Zhu Shen realize that it was actually a birthday celebration for pets, it was just a lonely old man who wanted to see his grandchildren.

Zhu Shen brought the old man's favorite tea, and affectionately held the old man's hand and said, "Grandpa, I'm here." Then he lowered his head and said to the dancing lion, "Hello, miss me?"

The old man glared at him, "Where is Ah Heng?"

In fact, Zhu Shen did not call Zhong Heng.

After that night on the rooftop, Zhu Shen was always afraid of confronting Zhong Heng for some reason.

There are so many indistinguishable things in his mind that he doesn't know whether what he wants to dig is still meaningful.

He didn't know too much, and he couldn't even explain the reason for the feeling of loss that he had never experienced during the two weeks of being bored in the studio.

He didn't even know what was wrong with him, and even if he wanted to prescribe the right medicine, he didn't know where the crux was.

"He's busy." Zhu Shen said.

The old man frowned.

I thought the old man would worry about Zhong Heng's whereabouts for a while, but he was already ready to answer in a calm and calm manner so as not to make the old man suspicious.Unexpectedly, the old man just patted the back of his hand and said to him: "You have a good meal today, the kitchen made your favorite fish soup."

Zhu Shen smiled, took a seat with the cousins, looked back at the old man, and played chess with his eldest brother-in-law.

Zhu Shen sat awkwardly in the dining room.The sisters and brothers-in-law around him were in pairs, and he sat alone at the end of the table, accepting the searching gazes from his sisters from time to time, and he couldn't stay any longer.

Ninth Sister next to her is just pregnant, Ninth Sister-in-Law took good care of her, and made an appointment with her three chapters, telling her not to eat, Ninth Sister had a bitter face: "I knew I wouldn't bring you here."

Ninth brother-in-law asked her: "If you don't bring me, who will you bring? Who else do you want to bring?"

Ninth Sister beat him lightly: "You're so annoying!" When she turned her head, she saw Zhu Shen looking at them in a daze, so she asked Zhu Shen, "Where's your Ah Heng?"

In an instant, several sisters raised their teacups in unison, pricked up their ears to listen, and tried their best to restrain their eyes from glancing at Zhu Shen, looking less deliberate.

The brothers-in-law were all smiling.Look, no one will believe that they are not sisters. This posture of listening to gossip is really the same.

Zhu Shen smiled: "He is busy."

Ninth brother-in-law nodded, and followed the words smoothly: "You must be on a business trip. I ran into him and Cheng Zhanmei at the airport yesterday."

Zhu Shen gave a "hmm".

The sisters exchanged glances with each other, drank tea silently, with worries floating on their faces.

Zhu Shen has always been the focus of everyone's care. When he first fell in love, he fell so badly. After finally getting up, he got married with someone, but don't be disturbed by others.

So the sisters took great pains to teach Zhu Shen the way to control her husband.

Brothers-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, and go to the bathroom together.

Zhu Shen couldn't laugh or cry, and responded again and again.

Fifth Sister, who had always been skeptical about this marriage, opened her mouth, looked around, and found that the old man was not there, and finally asked him: "Shen Shen, do you like Zhong Heng?"

Take a deep breath.

Everyone looked at Zhu Shen.

Fifth Sister sat across from Zhu Shen, her eyes were as sharp as light, and when she stared straight at her, Zhu Shen didn't know how to respond.It was as if there were hands blocking his breath.

You should be calm, you should be calm, and you should at least smile.

But Zhu Shen couldn't say a word.

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pretend to be with us." Fifth Sister said, "If you don't even like you, I can help you and Grandpa—"

"like."

"what?"

"Of course..." Zhu Shen's Adam's apple rolled, and he heard himself say softly, "I like it."

Soon, he calmly picked up his usual smile, with the corners of his lips curled up, and slowly raised his eyes to look at the opposite side: "Fifth Sister, what are you talking about?"

Before Fifth Sister could speak, she heard Uncle Zhang say, "Master Ah Heng is here."

Zhu Shen's heart deflated instantly like a balloon pricked by a needle.Looking at the door in panic, I saw Zhong Heng coming in a hurry, and said to everyone: "Sorry, I'm late."

Fifth Sister smiled at him, and raised her voice and said, "It's not too late, it's just that there is someone here who has been waiting for you for a long time."

The sisters burst into laughter instantly.

Zhong Heng entered the table, sat next to Zhu Shen, and whispered to him, "I'm late."

"Aren't you on a business trip?"

"It's over early, I saw the invitation."

Zhu Shen stopped talking, and saw the fine sweat on Zhong Heng's forehead and the slightly heaving chest under his shirt: "Did you come here?"

"Luckily it's not too late."

"It's never too late." Fifth Sister raised her teacup with a smile, and said to Zhong Heng, "You've already missed one of our most exciting topics."

Zhong Heng looked at Fifth Sister with a confused expression.

Zhu Shen said loudly, "Fifth Sister!"

Fifth Sister took a sip of tea calmly, then put down the cup: "It's nothing."

Zhu Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that I just asked Shen Shen if he likes you—"

Zhong Heng glanced at Zhu Shen in surprise, and Zhu Shen hurriedly said, "Fifth Sister!"

Fifth Sister raised her fingers and covered her lips.

The sixth sister next to her exaggeratedly said "Ah": "Then how did Shen Shen answer?"

Fifth Sister put her hands on the table and looked at Zhu Shen who was frowning: "Shen Shen, how did you answer just now?"

"I like it!" Zhu Shen got up suddenly, "I said I like it!"

After he finished speaking, he went out.

Just as Zhong Heng was about to chase, he was stopped by brother-in-law Nine.

Ninth Sister next to him said calmly: "Don't chase him yet, let him think about it."

Fifth Sister took another sip of tea, "Hey, look at your expression just now, it seems like it's the first time I've heard it."

Zhong Heng was suddenly a little embarrassed by being seen through the secret, but when he raised his head again, the sisters resumed their usual laughing and chatting, and forgot about the episode just now.

Zhong Heng looked at the door, wondering what he was thinking.

Indeed, it was the first time he heard it.
