Inhabit you as a forest

Wen Lian thought that he had already recovered.

But Sheng Qi's appearance was like yesterday's sudden rainstorm, drenching all around with mist.

She couldn't sleep until four o'clock in the morning to the sound of rain.

When I entered the elevator yesterday, I noticed a woman squatting in the corner.She didn't look much, until the standing girl called out "Sheng Qi" coquettishly.

As if a preset switch had been triggered, her whole body froze, her heartbeat slowed down, and only her eyes and ears boiled.She thought she heard it wrong, or maybe it was another word with a similar sound.

This kind of thing has happened before.

She often sees tall girls in school uniforms, and she will think that Sheng Qi is back.

Even if Sheng Qi didn't like to wear school uniforms, he didn't need to wear school uniforms long ago.

She couldn't help observing that woman, and the more she looked, the more she looked like her.

The man met her eyes, and even though he was wearing a mask, only a pair of eyes were exposed, she recognized him.

It was Sheng Qi.Prosperous Sheng, inhabited habitat.

Those eyes used to be scorchingly bright and lively, but now they are much gentler.With a thin mist, it is impossible to see through at a glance.

——"We must learn to be independent."

Sheng Qi said to the trendy-dressed girl in a short skirt with her waistline exposed.

Once upon a time, she also said this sentence, how did Sheng Qi respond back then.

——"It doesn't matter if you are not independent. My grandma said that when I get married, she will follow me to wash and cook for me."

—— "She coaxed you, are you willing to work hard for her? When do you plan to get married?"

—— "Why am I planning to do this? It's still early."

At that time, I was 17 years old, still early, is it still early now?

Even if you don't get married, there will always be people around you.

They met again the next morning, and this time Sheng Qi didn't wear a mask, so she could see clearly.

Sheng Qi was naughty and playful in middle school, he was a real elementary school scum.But she is handsome, she can pretend to be a good boy, and she has a sweet smile, even if she smiles, she is acting like a spoiled child.

Now that the facial features are wide open, she has hidden the sweetness and vigor of her teenage years, and she has become a calm adult.

The brows and eyes faded away, and the face was clear, with a bit of elegant charm.

Wen Lian withdrew his gaze and tried his best to keep himself from showing tiredness.

Hearing their intimate conversation, I just want to leave quickly.

Of course she hoped that Sheng Qi would live well, and she firmly believed that Sheng Qi would be better off, at least better than her.

But why come to her and let her see it.

She didn't really want to see it.

On the third day, while waiting for the elevator at work, he ran into Sheng Qi again and went out.Wearing a pair of simple flat sandals, carrying two bags of garbage.

He didn't even look at her, and stood beside him yawning.

During rush hours, both elevators run slowly, one has already descended to the basement, and the other has stopped on the twelfth floor for half a day.

Wen Lian doesn't like to be in a hurry, she sets off at a fixed time every day and leaves enough time.Regardless of traffic jams or emergencies, we can guarantee that we will not be late.

Usually, when encountering an elevator situation, she would wait quietly, but she couldn't do that today.

The more time passed, the more she could not ignore Sheng Qi's existence.It was as if they were sharing an oxygen tank, and with every extra breath the man took, it was harder for her.

Although Sheng Qi wore headphones in both ears, he was immersed in his own world.

That girl didn't accompany her, did she leave, or was she sleeping?

The tails of Wen Lian's eyes drooped, realizing that she was too bored, what other people's business had nothing to do with her.

She didn't want to greet her hypocritically, Sheng Qi didn't want to talk to her, the two of them tacitly chose to be strange neighbors.

This is the most comfortable relationship, keep your distance.

She should also make it clear to her mother, don't bother Sheng Qi anymore, she has her life.

One-sided enthusiasm can become a burden to others.

The elevator finally arrived.

Wen Lian pressed the first floor, and Sheng Qi stood aside and yawned.

So sleepy, do you still have to get up early to throw out the trash?

After getting out of the elevator and going down a few stairs, Wen Lian followed the office workers to the south gate.

At the corner, she stopped and looked back.Sheng Qi had already thrown the garbage into the unit building.

She doesn't have to go to work, and probably doesn't have a steady job.

At 06:30, Wen Lian got home from get off work, and the mother and daughter had dinner together at the dinner table.Communicate as usual, but not much.

When he was about to finish eating, Han Ruohua took a look at his daughter's expression and mentioned Sheng Qi again.Said that she lives alone, I don't know if she can cook.

Wen Lian was not as impatient as yesterday, and calmly discussed with her: "I haven't seen or contacted her for so many years, just treat her as an ordinary neighbor. Don't worry too much, okay?"

Han Ruohua put down his chopsticks, seemed to have something to say, and sighed softly, "Mom understands what you mean, but..."

"Mom, there is no but. You can say hello when you meet, but when she doesn't need it, don't call her home, and don't bring food and drinks. She may not like it."

Wen Lian whispered non-negotiable words.

Han Ruohua could only agree, "Listen to you, young people think differently, I'm old-fashioned."

After Wen Lian finished speaking, she fell silent, and Han Ruohua extended to other topics: "I just met after moving here for a few days, and I heard she said that I went on a trip with my sister. We didn't go out this summer. When the weather is cooler, call your aunt How many days do you want to play with my cousin?"

She said a lot, Wen Lian had no objection, and nodded in agreement.

He only cared about two words: "Sister?" His eyes dimmed, and he smiled inexplicably.

Yes, naturally it is the relationship between sister and sister, that girl is still in college.

Sheng Qi has also learned to take care of others. He will bend down to tie other people's shoelaces, tolerate other people's petty temper, and teach others a lesson.

Han Ruohua didn't understand what she was laughing at, but seeing her caring, he added a few words by the way: "When her grandmother was alive, she said that her father was afraid that the new daughter-in-law would be unhappy, so she couldn't take Sheng Qi with her. I just went back to Yujiang. I also said that I have a little granddaughter, but I have never seen her before, and I didn’t expect that she will be of college age.”

Grandma Shengqi accompanied her in her sophomore year of high school, and the house happened to be rented opposite.Although the old lady is 70 years old, she is energetic and has a bright and enthusiastic personality. She got acquainted with Han Ruohua within a few days.

The old lady has only one son, but unfortunately, apart from sending generous money, she can't even touch anyone during the holidays.

She loves her house as much as she loves, and loves her only granddaughter by her side like a baby. During her time with her, she cooked food in different ways, and Han Ruohua learned a lot from her.

Wen Lian was stunned when he heard the words, the abnormal smile on his mouth gradually faded away, and he was suddenly at a loss.

Immediately afterwards, thoughts fell into endless ups and downs.

"Ningning?" Han Ruohua called her back, thinking she was tired, "Go back to your room to rest after eating, I'll clean up."

Han Ruohua is a good mother, and she doesn't want Wen Lian to do housework.Even Wen Lian was a little busy at work occasionally, and she was very nervous.

After washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, Han Ruohua took the puppy to watch TV in the living room, and there were only two days of leisure left.

The summer calligraphy class is over, and the school is about to start.

She also misses the children in the class. She knows without asking, that she must have been madly making up for summer homework these two days.

After Wen Lian graduated, she chose Yujiang to work. For the convenience of her going to work, Han Ruohua sold the old house and bought a three-bedroom apartment with her savings.

She usually corrects homework, prepares lessons, and practices calligraphy. She spends more time in the study, or messing around in the kitchen or on the balcony.

And Wen Lian spent a lot of time in the room reading, so she gave up the spacious master bedroom to her daughter.

The window view of the master bedroom is good, and the mood of living is also good.

Ten minutes later, Wen Lian took a shower and left the room.

Instead of pajamas, she put on a light yellow dress, and her long hair, which had just been blown dry, was draped over her shoulders like a waterfall.

Han Ruohua thought she had a temporary social occasion, "Ning Ning, do you want to go out?"

After asking, I didn't feel like it, no makeup, not even lipstick, looked too dull.

Glancing at her mother, Wen Lian was silent for two seconds, then asked uncomfortably, "Are the dumplings still in the refrigerator?"

Han Ruohua didn't react: "Huh?"

Wen Lian stopped talking.

"Yes, yes, I'll get it."

……

Xu Tongtong made a video call with Sheng Qi in the dormitory, chatting about the scandals in the department and the handsome boy he saw today.

Maybe she was talking, Sheng Qi listened, distracted from time to time to conceive the drawing.

Hearing the doorbell rang, Sheng Qi took a few seconds to react unaccustomed to it, as no one had ever been to her house.

Explain to Xu Tongtong, hang up the video and walk to the door.

She straightened her hair, paying special attention to the bangs on her forehead, and looked at her clothes, which were considered decent.

Opening the door, Wen Lian appeared in front of her again.

Although they only met each other in the morning, it was just a chance encounter for Wen Lian, and they didn't need to pay attention to each other.

Not now, it is no longer possible to treat the other party as air.

The memory of standing face to face last time was cruel and embarrassing.

Eight full years were cut off in the middle.

Sheng Qi wasn't in the mood to see what she was carrying, so he calmed himself down, smiled gently at the person, and said politely, "What's the matter?"

This smile is as fake as gold and jade jewelry in a two-dollar store. Before that, they had met three times by chance, and Sheng Qi didn't look happy.

Compared with her false politeness, Wen Lian was much more normal, and looked back at her calmly: "My mother asked me to bring you some dumplings."

Sheng Qi understood what Han Ruohua meant.

Wen Lian is actually a bit of a mother, very obedient and obedient.I used to talk about "my mother", but now that I'm such a grown-up, I still start talking with "my mother".

But there is nothing wrong with it, if she had a mother as good as Han Ruohua, she would be sensible and well-behaved.

Sheng Qi took the things in her hand, and invited according to the rules: "Come in and have a meeting."

It would be impolite to close the door after accepting something, and Han Ruohua would probably not be happy.

Wen Lian shook her head, "It's too late, I won't go in and disturb you."

Sheng Qi still smiled at her when he heard the words, but the smile faded.

She obeys the law and doesn't know how to eat people. Even if she is alone with her new neighbors, she won't do bad things.

Being summoned to deliver something, he reluctantly left in a hurry.

This refusal reminded Sheng Qi of too many things in the past.

He was in a bad mood, but it didn't show on his face.

"Don't bother, there is no one else at home, and it's not time for me to sleep. Won't you come in?"

After Sheng Qi finished speaking patiently, seeing that she was indifferent, he called out clearly, "Wen Lian."

I have been close before and slept in the same bed, so why pretend to be a strange neighbor now.

She intentionally tore the layer of paper that was meant to be concealed.

After being called by her, Wen Lian's expression finally relaxed.

No longer letting her look at her, lowering his eyes to avoid her sight, "Okay."
