give you joy

Chapter 11 Because you are a good girl.

On the way to buy a toothbrush, Shen Ziqiao was very prescient and opened two rooms in the hotel next to the hospital. Yueyan dared not live outside alone, but she was thinking about her father. She could hardly control herself and forced herself to sleep. As a result, I didn't sleep well at all one night. I woke up at five o'clock, lay on the bed in a daze for a while, turned over and sat up, and quickly cleaned myself up.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the corridor was quiet, and it was not very bright yet.As soon as she left, the voice-activated light above her head rang.

The end of the corridor is close to the main road, and the sky is still gloomy from the window. There are a few people standing under the nearest traffic light next to the zebra crossing. They are all elderly people, and they may go to the park for morning exercises.Before six o'clock, breakfast had already been served, and steam was rising from the open boiler.

Originally, she wanted to call Shen Ziqiao, but Yueyan thought about it and let it go, he is so lazy.

Going down the elevator, when the door opened, the people inside and the people outside happened to meet each other, and they were all stunned.Shen Ziqiao's hair was disheveled, and his face looked sleepy.In his right hand he held a reusable bag, and he couldn't tell what was in it. In the other hand, he carried some food, such as porridge and steamed stuffed buns.

"Are you awake?" Shen Ziqiao looked at her and smiled, "I bought you breakfast, should I eat in your room or mine?"

Yue Yan looked at his face carefully, it was slightly blue in the early morning of June, as if it was because of tiredness: "Go to my room."

Shen Ziqiao followed her back to 3014. After swiping the key card, there was a beep, and the room lit up.

"Did you turn off the lights?" He went in, put the breakfast on the empty table next to the TV, and looked back at her, "Are you scared?"

She looked elsewhere, touched her nose guiltily: "Too lazy to close it."

Shen Ziqiao glanced at her, without saying anything, he pulled a chair for her to sit on.

"Come and eat, do you want meat buns or vegetable buns?"

"It's all right."

She didn't expect that the dough of the meat bun was not cooked well, and it smelled like plasticine when she bit into it. She didn't say anything, but she felt that once she said it, Shen Ziqiao would definitely ask her: Have you ever eaten plasticine? Do you know what it tastes like?

After taking a bite and putting it aside, Yue Yan drank the bowl of meat porridge.

Just as she put down the spoon, Shen Ziqiao had already taken the meat bun and handed over a vegetable bun, which was still in her original place.

She quickly stopped: "I have eaten this."

"It's okay." Shen Ziqiao swallowed it in two mouthfuls, his cheeks were bulging, and he said vaguely, "You eat the rest."

After a pause, Yueyan still lowered her head and put the vegetable bag into her bowl.

After eating, Yue Yan took out the trash and came back, Shen Ziqiao handed her another environmental protection bag.

"what?"

"Look at it."

Yueyan opened it, and inside was a shirt.

"The clothes were brought to you at home. If you still wear this one back home, your dad must know that you didn't go home and you are lying to him."

The shirt was still her old clothes from junior high school. It was made of organza, with puffy half sleeves and lace patterns on the chest. She always thought it was too fancy, so she put it away after wearing it once.

She looked at him speechlessly.

What taste?

He also said stubbornly: "I think this one is very beautiful."

When he arrived at the hospital, Gao Zhiming also praised the dress when he first saw her: "Yanyan looks good, just like a little princess."

Ke Yueyan felt like a big fancy cake.

Gao Zhiming is recovering well, his complexion looks much better than yesterday, the physical work has been done by nurses, Shen Ziqiao looks around, and there is nothing that needs help, so he and Yue Yan accompany Gao Zhiming to talk for a while, nine o'clock Most of the time, the nurse came to debride the wound and change the dressing. After changing the dressing, he rested for a while, Yueyan gently removed the notebook at his hand, took off the reading glasses on his face, and quietly left the ward.In the afternoon, Shen Ziqiao was called to attend a class reunion, so he said hello and left first.At about two o'clock Gao Zhiming's subordinate He Renjie came over with a stack of documents for him to sign, just as the father and daughter were talking happily in the ward, Yue Yan saw him coming in, stood up and called for someone first: "Little Uncle He."

"Yanyan is here too."

When Gao Zhiming turned his head, the smile on his face was still there: "Why are you here? If you don't tell me, you're short of a signature?"

Although He Renjie was called Uncle, he was born with a baby face, and he smiled when he opened his mouth. He was very small: "I didn't expect that there would be such an urgent rush, and it doesn't work. Don't we all know that your word is valuable?" Well."

Listening to their conversation, Yueyan helped her father to sit up, and at the same time patted the pillow soft with her hand, standing behind his waist, He Renjie hurried up to help her, and rolled the bed up.

While he was reading the document and signing it, He Renjie casually chatted with Yue Yan, and asked her if the college entrance examination was difficult, and Yue Yan said it was okay, He Renjie looked at her and smiled: "Yan Yan is a primary school bully, Tsinghua University and Peking University can pick whatever they want, if only my Qiuqiu can be as smart as you."

Qiuqiu is the nickname of He Renjie's son. He is eight years old and only in the second grade.Yue Yan was used to being praised since she was a child, and she smiled politely: "Uncle is a big compliment. As for Qiuqiu, it seems that I haven't seen him for a long time."

"I went to his grandma's house for summer vacation, this kid is going crazy." Looking at her, He Renjie's tone became emotional, "Oh, Yanyan, why did your grandma leave in such a hurry? If the old lady is still here, look When you become a big girl, I don't know how happy you will be."

When mentioning the deceased grandma, Yueyan's eyes darkened, and her enthusiasm for speaking gradually weakened.

He Renjie glanced at Gao Zhiming from the corner of his eye. As expected, his handwriting became faster and faster, and he simply finished the last few pages with a few strokes. He closed the folder and handed it back to him. He gave him a gloomy look, telling him to shut up.

He Renjie just left, and Li Huifen also came to the hospital with Shen Xiner.

It happened that Yue Yan was not there, so I went downstairs to see He Renjie off.Li Huifen told Gao Zhiming to let him take good care of his illness, don't worry about the family, when Yueyan came back, the mother and daughter had already left, Gao Zhiming leaned on the pillow, put his hands on his forehead, and closed his eyes slightly. The young man showed a rare fatigue, which made people look very sad.

As soon as she approached, Gao Zhiming had already heard the voice, opened his eyes, and saw Yueyan.

How can a father not love this daughter, regardless of blood relationship, it is this daughter who cries for him, and it is this daughter who is afraid of him, his wife, step-son, and step-daughter have all left for their own reasons, leaving only Yueyan. , like a frightened little animal clinging to his master's bedside, lest he have another accident.

The human heart is fleshy.

Besides, blood relationship is the most inseparable thing.

Seeing his daughter's eyes becoming more gentle, Gao Zhiming smiled: "Yanyan is back."

She gently opened the stool and sat down, turning her eyes to the fruits and flowers on the bedside table.

Li Huifen brought flowers both times, just like the guests.

"Has mom been here? Why did you leave so soon?"

Yueyan has never expressed dissatisfaction with this stepmother before and after, but now that her father is recovering from a serious illness and is still in the hospital, she can't get through the phone, and always comes and goes in a hurry, and doesn't take Gao Zhiming seriously at all. , which made Yueyan feel somewhat concerned.

"She's busy," Gao Zhiming simply passed the twists and turns, and then asked Yueyan, "Yanyan, Dad asked you a few questions."

Sit obediently, Yueyan raised her head: "You can ask."

Patting the back of his daughter's hand resting on the edge of the bed, Gao Zhiming asked, "Yan Yan, do you like this mother?"

After a pause, Yue Yan nodded.

"Where's my sister?"

Yue Yan nodded, her speed was faster than before.

"Where's Ziqiao?"

Still the same answer.

Gao Zhiming looked at her carefully, her eyes were clear and open, and her attitude was still generous.

Children are good children, but the world of adults is too utilitarian and complicated.

Gao Zhiming sighed in his heart, let's do this first, the timing is not right now, let's talk to her later.

In the elevator going downstairs, Li Huifen stood in front of the station, and Shen Xiner stood behind.It was the same after getting out of the elevator, Li Huifen was still walking like flying in high heels, Shen Xiner managed to catch up with her at the parking lot: "Mom!"

Li Huifen turned her head, her face was neither red nor out of breath, and she stared at her with a half-smile: "Why, hurry up to teach me a lesson?"

Shen Xiner calmed down for a few seconds, then raised her head and asked, "Did you divorce my dad?"

"Your father?" Li Huifen grabbed the two words and couldn't help sneering, "May I ask Miss, is your surname Gao? Which one is your father?"

Shen Xin'er choked for a moment, and took a while to answer: "I heard you and Uncle Tian on the phone. Pledge? What are you going to pledge?"

"Does it have something to do with you?" No matter when and where, Li Huifen's aura is very strong, especially when she looks so slow that no one can hold her.

What's more, Shen Xin'er, who is a half-old child, stomped her foot and said angrily, "I'm going to tell Dad right now."

She turned around and didn't take a few steps, Li Huifen's voice came from behind her, every word sounded very important: "Go, you go, it's better to piss him off now, it will save me a lot of trouble."

The footsteps slowed down, Shen Xiner felt timid, and finally stopped.

Li Huifen put her hands on the roof of the car and stood leisurely by the side of the car, her posture still beautiful.The clothes on her hands and around her neck are all glittering in gold, and none of them cost more than ten thousand yuan, let alone the dress on her body, which is a new spring and summer model of a certain big brand. The figure is quite graceful, and with proper maintenance, the skin is delicate, and a person in his forties looks at most in his early thirties.Shen Xin'er remembered very clearly that she accompanied Li Huifen to the store to pick out this dress. She was the VIP in the store, and those cabinet sisters who used to look at people with their nostrils saw them as if they were relatives, don't mention it attentive.

Why is this?

All of this is not because she married a good husband who is tolerant and kind, and never cares about money gains and losses.

Li Huifen's tone was a little slow, and her expression was almost amiable: "Your father is good to me, and he is good to you, I know that."

Shen Xiner looked at her silently.

"Mom and your Uncle Tian opened a beauty salon outside. Your Uncle Tian paid for it. I can't afford to take other people's shares for nothing. Don't worry, the house is pledged to the bank. The guarantor It's your Uncle Tian. Even if you don't pay the money in the future, your Uncle Tian will be the first to be unlucky, do you think he is such a stupid person?"

Shen Xin'er felt relieved, and looked up at her again: "Then do you really want to divorce Dad?"

She meant a lot, and gave an ambiguous answer: "This matter depends mainly on your father's attitude."

The results of the college entrance examination did not come down until after Gao Zhiming was discharged from the hospital, and Yueyan's score was quite accurate.Combined with her previous mock test scores, it can't be considered an ideal score.If it wasn't for grandma leaving so suddenly, according to her previous level, it shouldn't be a problem to be ten or twenty points taller, but I can't say that, if you ask Yueyan to choose again, she will still choose to fly back without hesitation. Jilin.

Finishing the score is a matter of voluntary choice.

Gao Zhiming once gave Yueyan a map of China when she was a sophomore in high school. A straight line was drawn on the map, and she was only allowed to apply for universities below the line. He thought it best to stay in Hangzhou, and go to get her driver's license in the summer vacation. , so that she can live at home and drive to and from school every day.However, since his brush with death in a car accident, Gao Zhiming looks at the problem much more openly than before.

After careful selection, two colleges and universities in Hangzhou and Nanjing were preliminarily determined.Gao Zhiming asked some friends in the business field, including some university teachers. The two universities have their own advantages, one has a high professional ranking, and the other has a strong comprehensive strength.

Finally decided to stay in Hangzhou, close to home, easy to take care of, these are Gao Zhiming's original words.

As for Shen Ziqiao, Li Huifen originally planned to send him abroad, but now many foreign universities recognize domestic college entrance examination scores.When he refused, Li Huifen thought it was a matter of money, so she said that she would pay for him without Gao Zhiming's money.Shen Ziqiao still didn't agree, and when Li Huifen became anxious, he opened his mouth with a firm attitude: "I want to stay in Hangzhou." His mother couldn't hold him back, so she gave up, but the condition was that IELTS must be passed before the sophomore year.

Both were successfully admitted.In mid-July, Shen Ziqiao signed for the acceptance letter when it was mailed to his home. He was stunned when he saw the printed name of the university on the cover, and subconsciously asked the courier a stupid question: "Are you sure you didn't send it wrong?"

The two admission letters are from different cities.

One is from Hangzhou.

One is from Nanjing.

Yueyan left for Nanjing a few days earlier than the scheduled school start time, she packed her things late, she let her hair go to wash her face.Just after wetting his face, the door handle of the bathroom behind him moved a few times, the door was pushed open, and a person appeared at the door, the corridor light was not turned on, and the light in the bathroom was only enough to illuminate half of his face. The half-obscured light became deeper and deeper, and his eyes were cold.

She caught a glimpse of it in the mirror and almost cried out in fright. She clapped her hands on her chest and turned her head to complain softly, "You scared me to death."

Eyebrows loosened slightly, Shen Ziqiao slightly moved his lower lip, as if smiling.

"With disheveled hair, I don't know who to scare whom?"

Since the notice came out, Shen Ziqiao hadn't come to talk to her very often. Every time he saw her, he was indifferent. He didn't say hello or say anything, as if he didn't know her.Yueyan almost thought that she had provoked him again, saying that girls' thoughts are like poetry, but Yueyan felt that Shen Ziqiao's thoughts were much more difficult to understand than poetry, it was simply stereotyped essay, difficult to write and understand.

Shen Ziqiao also came in, stood beside her, turned on another faucet and began to wash his hands.

Yue Yan only noticed that he was looking at her when she was wiping her face. In the mirror, she silently looked back and asked what he meant.He didn't evade, raised his eyebrows, and said in a calm voice, "Didn't you say that you are in Hangzhou?"

Yueyan froze for a few seconds before realizing that he was talking about volunteering.

How should I say it?It was my father's idea to stay in Hangzhou, and it was also my father's idea to go to Nanjing, but why does this boy care so much?

Why does he care so much about her, won't she understand?

Yue Yan turned away her eyes, looked at You Zai's dripping faucet and said gently: "I think the major in Nanjing is more suitable for me, just like..."

Shen Ziqiao pursed his lips, and asked in a deep voice, "What does it look like?"

"Schools like Hangzhou are more suitable for you."

His heart was so dry, like a dank soul on fire, it had started since the day he received the admission notice, the anger of being deceived and concealed was nothing more violent than a single emotion, that is, she was avoiding him.

Do everything possible to avoid him.

It feels so bad.

If love is a battle, then unrequited love is completely guerrilla warfare and psychological warfare, which not only tests physical strength, endurance, but also IQ.

He took a deep breath, with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone: "But why did you lie to me?"

The degree of cheating is too heavy for Yueyan to bear, so she quickly explained: "I originally planned to stay in Hangzhou, but my father changed his mind temporarily, and I didn't know until the notice was mailed."

It can be said that it is Gao Zhiming's "old and cunning", and it may as well be regarded as a father's good intentions.If Gao Zhiming had decided to stay in Nanjing from the beginning, would he have chosen Nanjing?
Will do.

He will.

Even if Li Huifen doesn't agree, he will go.

Shen Ziqiao was skeptical, and looked over. He couldn't say he was very satisfied with the answer, but at least it reassured him: "Didn't you hide from me on purpose?"

She shook her head like a rattle.

Those unexplainable awkwardnesses disappeared in an instant, he was in a good mood, and the smile on his face became more obvious, Shen Ziqiao insisted: "Then prove it to me."

Yueyan was stunned for a moment: How to prove this?

The party that holds the initiative will always be more powerful in communication. Shen Ziqiao said: "Tomorrow I have a class reunion, come with me."

Yue Yan was dumbfounded, but not stupid: "Why should I go to your party?"

"Then you are still avoiding me."

"I do not have."

"If you don't, prove it to me."

"Why do you have to go to your class reunion? Can't you go out to have a meal and watch a movie?"

"Okay, let's go to dinner and watch a movie tomorrow."

Yue Yan was completely dumbfounded: "I'm just giving an example..."

Shen Ziqiao was serious: "Then I passed your example."

Eating and watching movies is still too ambiguous for children of their age, Yueyan is making the last struggle: "I won't go to eat." After a pause, seeing that he has something to say, he immediately added One sentence, "I don't go to the movies either."

Shen Ziqiao lowered his eyes. He was much taller than her, and he always seemed to be overlooking people when he looked at them. His well-folded eyelids were sharp and cold, and there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Yue Yan is not so easy to be overwhelmed by others, she raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly, as if confronting each other.

The two looked at each other.

In the air, the emotions that were intentionally released are also floating in the air.

For a while, no one spoke at once.

Finally, Shen Ziqiao laughed first.

Laughing is a gesture of goodwill, and more often it means compromise.

His eyes fell, and he turned back and forth on her face calmly, his voice was slightly hoarse: "How long can we see each other, you are so stubborn with me, brother will not be able to control you in the future, right?"

Yes, school is about to start, how long can they see each other?
I bought an afternoon movie, perfectly avoiding the embarrassment of eating out at noon.

In order to cut off all ambiguous developments, Yue Yan deliberately chose a cartoon.

The memory at that time has been blurred, and Yueyan watched it again when she grew up.

It is about an old man who took his house and flew to South America to explore, looking for the promise he made to his wife when he was young.

It was a very warm and interesting movie. There were laughter from time to time in the cinema hall, but the unexpected tears at the end still made Yueyan cry.

Until the end of the movie, when the headlights of the movie theater were turned on, her tears still didn't stop, and when she came out of the screening hall, people watched her all the way.

To prevent being left behind, she gently tugged at the hem corner of the boy's T-shirt, lowered her head and followed him.

While walking, Shen Ziqiao had to turn around to take care of her.

Now she is learning better and better, and she won't let him touch her, and she won't even let him hold her hand.

Coming down from the sixth floor, passing by a boutique, Shen Ziqiao caught a glimpse and asked her to wait for him for a while.Yueyan thought he was going to the bathroom, so she turned to DQ next to her and waited for him. She ordered Mai Xuanfeng, knowing that he didn't like sweets, and ordered a cup of matcha almonds.

No one took him with him, Shen Ziqiao felt as if he was going to lose his mind as soon as he stepped into the door of the boutique.

Fortunately, there was a shopping guide, so I came over and asked him what he needed to help.

He took out his mobile phone, called up the photo album, enlarged the saved pictures for her to see, and tried hard to describe the image closer to his mind: "The ears are big and long, furry, and feel good, girls like it ..."

Just when the shopping guide was as confused as he was, a crisp female voice came from beside him: "He wants a Bonnie rabbit, the pink one."

Shen Ziqiao turned around, it was Xu Pan.

I haven't seen her in nearly two months. Her appearance has changed slightly. Maybe it's because her hair has grown longer. The blatant boyishness is gone. She is a little reserved and gentle inside and out, but her voice is still the same loud: " What a coincidence, Shen Ziqiao." She came with her parents to buy some daily necessities for the start of school.

Surrounded by a group of young girls of about the same age, Shen Ziqiao nodded at her and smiled: "What a coincidence."

Xu Pan looked behind him: "You came alone?"

"No." He didn't avoid her at all, and said very naturally, "Jian Yueyan, just watched a movie on it."

Xu Pan smiled at him with the kind of eyes that I knew, there was no abnormality in his expression, and he could tilt his head to tease him: "The things you asked me to buy before were actually given to her, right?"

Shen Ziqiao lowered his head and smiled softly. He was still the high-spirited boy on the basketball court in his memory. A simple movement touched the hearts of countless girls on the sidelines.

She was inexplicably hot from the laughter, and her eyes suddenly became hot.

"It's stupid, don't mention it."

Soon the shopping guide brought the doll, and after confirming that it was what he wanted, he led him to the bar to check out.

Xu Pan lined up behind him, and when it was time to scan the QR code to pay, he raised his hand and turned her shopping basket towards him, and handed over the card: "It counts together."

Xu Pan's voice was weak: "No, I'll pay for it myself."

Shen Ziqiao didn't talk nonsense, and insisted on paying.

When he came out of the store, Xu Pan kept his head down, his face burning hot.

After waiting for some time, Yueyan bit the ice cream scoop boredly, looking out of the glass unconsciously.

Where the line of sight swept, a man and a woman were talking and came out from the door of a boutique.

She turned her eyes away, and couldn't help looking again after a few seconds.

There is only one boy left.

look around.

Yueyan originally wanted to call him, but a terrible awkwardness unexpectedly occurred in her heart, which made her unwilling to make a sound.

Sitting silently by the window, and a little disgusted with himself.

It didn't take long for the messy emotions to flood, and soon, the phone rang.The flickering screen is like a sedative, miraculously smoothing those chaotic thoughts.

She picked it up, and the boy's voice sounded a little dissatisfied: "What are you running around, where are people?"

"You look to the left."

Shen Ziqiao looked over, and at the seat by the window, the girl quietly held an ice cream cup, looking at him with slender eyes.

His heart softened, he waved his hand, put away his phone and walked over.

The gift bag was thrown on the table, Yue Yan raised her head and asked, "What?"

Pulling out the chair and sitting down, Shen Ziqiao said, "See if you like it?"

When I opened it, I realized that it was a pink bunny with long and soft ears, which made people want to try the feeling of sticking it on their face.

Yueyan said with confusion: "It's so ugly..."

"Give me back the ugliness, what you don't want is what people want."

"Who wants it?" Looking at Bonnie Rabbit, the girl seemed to ask casually.

Shen Ziqiao stopped smiling, and stared at her motionlessly, the corners of his lips slowly raised, and his mood suddenly became unbelievably good: "Why, are you jealous?"

"Who's jealous?"

"You're not jealous, what was that tone just now?"

"What kind of tone, I just ask casually."

"Ask casually?" His attitude suddenly became wicked, and he looked closely at her face, "Are you really not jealous?"

Yueyan gently rubbed the doll's fluff with her fingers, feeling indescribable, a little chaotic, her heart was beating fast, her face seemed to be burning, she rolled his eyes at him, and whispered: "Nervous."

Shen Ziqiao lowered his eyes, looking inexplicably serious: "Why are you swearing again?"

The two of them didn't know if the magnetic field was wrong, and they started arguing without saying a few words, and Yue Yan stopped back: "Did you say too little yourself?"

Shen Ziqiao said, "We are different."

"What's the difference?"

"Genders are different," Shen Ziqiao looked down from her face, and his eyes fell on her slender fingers holding the ice cream cup. The expression of liking someone is that he will use a filter to look at everything about her. What do you think of her? Everything is born well, even the fingertips are thinner than ordinary girls, with light lines and thin nails.After watching, his tone became gentle, "Because you are a good girl."

Yueyan's heart trembled a little when she heard the love words that were not considered love words. After thinking about it, the Shen Ziqiao in her memory didn't seem to be like this.

The boy in my memory was rude, reckless, and often said stupid things that made it hard for her to resist. When did he become so good at watching his words and make girls happy?

Love is a science, and chasing girls is probably a compulsory course for all boys.In this class, some people are self-taught, some are gifted, and some have stumbled to pass the exam, while some, like Shen Ziqiao, have never passed it once, and they persevere in their groping.

Yueyan was silent suddenly, and couldn't help wondering whether he also regarded chasing himself as a compulsory course, because he couldn't catch up, so he couldn't forget it.

"Okay, okay." Seeing that her expression was wrong, Shen Ziqiao was afraid that she would be wrong, and the relationship between the two had finally improved. He didn't want to waste all his efforts, so he quickly explained, "That's Xu Pan, you know him, he's in your class, just right If you just chat a few words, don't think about it."

Yueyan doesn't like this kind of herself very much, she is sensitive and hypocritical, looking for troubles.Picking the glass eyeballs of Bonnie Rabbit with her fingers, she said in a low voice, "What am I thinking about..."

The top of the hair was covered by a big hand, and after a few pats, the hot touch spread across the top of the head.

He said casually, "It's fine if you don't think about it."
