no Guanyin

You Yingxi didn't understand why Jiang Wanzi brought her to the mall.

The other party didn't say anything, but she didn't ask.

The two of them stepped side by side into this ten-story spire building, and the oncoming heating made them feel more comfortable.Although it is both a working day and a snowy day, the festive atmosphere of shopping is still very strong because the Chinese New Year is approaching.

Jiang Wanzi walked to the electronic shopping guide on the first floor, and You Yingxi followed her. On the way, Yu Shurong called.

She glanced at Jiang Wanzi's back searching for something on the electronic screen, hesitated for a moment, went straight to the chair next to her and sat down.

This location was a little far away from Jiang Wanzi, but it was still within her sight.

"Hello, Mom?" You Yingxi habitually pinched the sleeves of her school uniform tightly.

On the other end of the phone, Yu Shurong sounded like she was in a meeting, and the middle-aged man's dull speech was faintly heard.She lowered her voice and said, "Are you home?"

"not yet."

"Not here yet?" Yu Shurong was a little surprised, she made the call after calculating the exact time, and even considered that Jiang Wanzi was new to the road and was unfamiliar with the road conditions, so she added 10 minutes to the calculation.

Before You Yingxi could explain, Yu Shurong guessed arbitrarily: "Be honest, did that sister take you somewhere to play?"

Yu Shurong's tone became serious, and Jiang Wanzi was not a good character in her context.

Jiang Wanzi checked the store, looked around, caught You Yingxi's thin figure on a chair beside her, and was about to walk over, but the other party pointed at her on the phone she was talking on.

Jiang Wanzi understood, and gave way to the people who came to the shopping guide desk later, and leaned on the marble pillar to reply to Gu Xuxi's message.

You Yingxi said the name of the commercial building.

Yu Shurong: "What are you doing there?"

You Yingxi nonsense: "I'm hungry."

She felt that such conversations were boring, and she could even predict what Yu Shurong would say next, but boring conversations happened almost every day, and she fell into them, and her helplessness was gradually tempered into numbness.

"Won't you go home to eat when you're hungry? It's not like the aunt at home didn't cook, so she eats some junk food outside all day long."

Yu Shurong wanted to chatter for a while, but was interrupted by the person at the other end: "Professor Yu, it's your turn to speak next."

"Okay, thank you." Yu Shurong turned around and told You Yingxi sharply, "Let me tell you again, this Jiang Wanzi, you don't want to be close friends, do you understand?"

not understand.

This is not the first time Yu Shurong has interfered in You Yingxi's circle of friends.

When she was in junior high school, the girl at the same table was a crane tail.It's not that I don't like studying, it's because my brain is stupid and slow to learn everything. The teacher can explain it once and others can understand it, but she can't. She has to ask You Yingxi to explain it to her three or four times after class before she can understand.

Later, there was a monthly exam, You Yingxi did not perform well because of physical discomfort, and fell out of the top three in the grade.Yu Shurong communicated with the class teacher during the parent-teacher meeting. The class teacher praised You Yingxi for being smart and kind.

The next day, You Yingxi's deskmate became a boy.

The homeroom teacher didn't take Yu Shurong's suggestion into account. At that time, the seat selection was prioritized according to the ranking of grades. You Yingxi had the right to decide her own seat, but she couldn't decide her deskmate.

He sat in the last row at the end of the crane, and kept company with the broom and mop in the corner every day.Girls at this age are very thoughtful, and they probably guessed something, and never disturbed You Yingxi's study.But her grades got worse and worse, and she dropped out of school after a while.

"Hello?" Yu Shurong thought the signal was not good.

You Yingxi bypassed the question and smiled sweetly: "Mom, I won the gold medal in the oil painting competition last time."

Yu Shurong paused, surprised by her daughter who didn't like to take the initiative to ask for credit, but her tone was still very light: "Well, I already know."

She is a professor at the School of Design at Sogang University of the Arts, so she naturally has contacts who can know the results of such competitions in advance.

"Very good." Yu Shurong didn't know what was on her mind, her speaking speed slowed down, and she lost her previous aggressive aura, "Let's do this first, you go home early to rest after shopping, and the studio will start class again in two days .”

You Yingxi nodded: "Okay."

She stared at the sleeves of the school uniform that had been creased several times by herself, her eyes were a little sore, and her mind was full of the situation when she didn't sleep much for the oil painting competition for several days and was drawing in the studio every day.

In fact, it didn't matter, she was used to Yu Shurong's stingy compliments on her.

Besides, she didn't tell Yu Shurong this matter for praise.

There is a straight elevator behind the electronic shopping guide, but there are too many people waiting, and people have to go up and down on each floor, maybe it is not as fast as the escalator.You Yingxi stood up and walked towards Jiang Wanzi. Jiang Wanzi looked away from the screen and fixed on the girl's obviously unhappy face.

"Have you finished the call?"

You Yingxi: "Yes."

"Let's go, which floor do you want to go to?" The girl walked up the escalator on her own.

Because this commercial building is located between home and school, she often comes here, so she is familiar with it.

Jiang Wanzi stared at her back in shock.

Her steps were weak, her head drooped slightly, her shoulders drooped a little, her back was shaped like a triangle, and she closed herself up with thorns on three sides, refusing to be visited by the outside world.

You Yingxi walked with her head down, and before she got on the escalator, the tall and long-legged Jiang Wanzi caught up slowly.

She leaned over and stood shoulder to shoulder with the girl, politely separated by a fist or so: "Fifth floor."

There are really many people in the commercial building today.Those who brought their children to buy clothes for the New Year, young couples who went shopping sideways, and those who watched movies with popcorn... The noisy surroundings, the escalators going up and down were noisy.

It wasn't until reaching the fifth floor that You Yingxi suddenly remembered that there was another person beside her.

Jiang Wanzi saw that she turned her head to look at herself, she didn't know why, but in front of her there were two brats chasing each other and playing wildly, one of them was about to bump into her.Jiang Wanzi stretched out her hand and gently pulled You Yingxi into her arms: "Be careful."

After a few seconds, when the two children left and the danger was over, Jiang Wanzi let go of her strength.

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Wanzi frowned.

Her facial features are very strong, but her eyebrows and eyes are more neutral.Probably because I didn't wear much makeup today, my eyebrows were lowered at this moment, and my whole temperament became a little bit sloppy, which on the contrary highlighted the innate indifference and alienation.

Thinking... how do you look like a bad person?

After You Yingxi answered Yu Shurong's phone call, she was actually very afraid for a while that Jiang Wanzi would suddenly remember that she was barely an elder, and when she saw that she was in a bad mood, she would ask questions here and there.Or use the worst coaxing skills of all the elders, buy an ice cream or cake or something, and make her happy.

But she really just wants to be alone for a while, and she will get better after a while.

Over the years, she has learned to heal herself.

You Yingxi didn't know from which detail Jiang Wanzi saw that she didn't need to be comforted, and she also didn't know why Yu Shurong didn't allow her to have a deep friendship with Jiang Wanzi. In short, for now, getting along with her is really comfortable.

"how old are you?"

Jiang Wanzi froze for a moment, then said in a casual tone, "It's fine to be your sister."

"I have a sister."

"I know, You... what's warm?" On New Year's Eve that year, Yu Shurong kept praising her, and Jiang Wanzi was naturally impressed.But at that time, it seemed that I had participated in some competition, but no one came.Aside from her appearance, Jiang Wanzi will not keep any simple name in her heart.

You Yingxi explained sternly: "You Yinuan. It is taken from Zhang Jiuling's poem, 'While the air of Yiyi is warm, the heart is always chilling'."

oh.Jiang Wanzi nodded, she knew the poem, but she didn't care.

After walking two steps, the lipstick shop that Jiang Wanzi was looking for was right in front of her.She stopped, put her hands in her pockets, and asked the girl, "What about you? What's your name?"

You Yingxi opened her mouth to speak, but soon she put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoe with her heels, leaned her upper body slightly forward, and bent her body into a cute and naughty bow.Chongjiang Wanzi blinked: "This is only known to friends."

When did the vixen, who has been in love for a long time, suffer this kind of loss?She doesn't rarely ask such simple questions as the origin of the name when making friends.

But now, facing this inexperienced high school student in school uniform, she could only sincerely sigh for her rare stumble, and said a little sadly, "Aren't we friends?"

You Yingxi was almost deceived by her eyes, but the question Jiang Wanzi asked really made her think about it.

She thought, she has no such friends.

Jiang Wanzi stood one step away.Jiang City, a second-tier city, can't give her clothes and temperament, and passers-by will always cast curious and amazed eyes on her.But whether it is at the gate of the school or in the commercial building, she seems to have long been used to being noticed.If she lives in the sky, she should be the only moon, not a star.

But this moon is so cold and beautiful that it draws you closer, and then the wind blows and you disappear into the floating clouds, smashed to pieces.

Her eyes are narrow and long, but not small, and when she stares at people with a little effort, she is very affectionate.

deep feeling.It was the first time for You Yingxi to see such eyes in the eyes of the same sex. She and Jiang Wanzi looked at each other for a while, and soon lost the battle, muffled: "Hey, where are we going?"

we.

When Jiang Wanzi heard her use this word to describe her and her, for some reason, she found it pleasant, so she let go of the question of whether she was friends or not.She pointed to the lipstick shop: "Here we are."

Bought lipstick for a 17-something high school student as a gift to celebrate her award.

While waiting for You Yingxi to choose the lipstick color, Jiang Wanzi walked a few steps away to answer Gu Xuxi's call, and was mercilessly ridiculed by the other party: "Are you sick, Jiang Wanzi? Which normal person would give a middle school student Give lipstick? Which school allows girls to put on makeup at school? Are you in the habit of giving lipstick to your girlfriends?"

Otherwise, what would you give?

Jiang Wanzi subconsciously wanted to push back.But what was embarrassing was that when she turned around, she saw a stationery store opposite the lipstick shop, and the customers there were mostly girls who were about the same age as You Yingxi.

Really, it's all because she doesn't have a younger sister at home.

"...Ahem, how do you know that people don't like it?" Jiang Wanzi still wanted to die.

Gu Xuxi continued to make up the knife: "Didn't you just say in WeChat that she is a three-good student? What is good painting and good grades? When we were in high school, there were no top students in the class? Would you like makeup?"

As if by divine assistance, Jiang Wanzi accidentally caught a glimpse of You Yingxi wearing lipstick.

The clerk stood aside, probably because he saw that You Yingxi was still a student and probably didn't know much about makeup, so he wanted to help.But You Yingxi thanked the shop assistant politely and politely.

She took the tube of limited-edition lipstick, unscrewed the cap, dabbed the sharp end of the lipstick on the center of the upper and lower lips, and then began to smooth it out with her white fingers in front of the mirror.Squeeze lightly between the upper and lower lips twice, very skillfully.

The girl's face is reflected in the mirror. This color number is very suitable for her, highlighting the tenderness of the complexion, adding two or three years to the girl's age.Jiang Wanzi imagined that if she had curly hair, she must be extremely beautiful.

But what made her even more curious was You Yingxi's temperament when she was wearing lipstick.It's like a different person, a little strange - she doesn't know if it's right to say that, after all, they haven't known each other for long.

After checking out, the two walked out of the store.

You Yingxi had already removed the lipstick with lotion, and she handed the gift bag containing the lipstick to Jiang Wanzi.

Jiang Wanzi: "For you. Congratulations on your award."

Just now, Jiang Wanzi let her go in to test the color with the excuse that she wanted to give a gift to a friend who was about her age, so she didn't know which one would be suitable.

"Ah?" You Yingxi raised her eyebrows, she was a little surprised, but felt happy the next second.

But she was a little embarrassed and didn't know whether to accept it or not.Accepting gifts as soon as they met, she had never received such an education since she was a child.

After removing the lipstick, the girl in front of her didn't seem to have changed much.Jiang Wanzi began to suspect that it was just the effect of choosing the right lipstick.

"If you don't want to be friends, how about being a neighbor first?" Jiang Wanzi stretched out her hand to her and smiled slightly, "Hello, my name is Jiang Wanzi. I just moved across from your house three days ago."
