Chapter 19 It turns out that we are also part of the answer (1)
The eleven or seven-day long holiday has finally come.

Xu Heyin received the fifth letter on the fourth day of the long vacation.The letter said: The sea tells you that there is a singing voice.That's right, Xu Heyin now has a rough sea in his heart.

Although she was looking at the textbooks and papers in front of her eyes, what was always ringing in her ears was the conversation between her father and that woman that she heard downstairs that day.

Although Chi Xiu once said: "Some things are different from what we think, but they may not be what we seem to be." But Xu Heyin still couldn't help but think wildly.Dad's phone still couldn't get through, and my mother was uncharacteristically busy like a spinning top.She cleans the stove and washes the toilet. She spends almost no time in cleaning the rented house inside and out.

Looking at the busy mother, the father's matter was choked in his throat and he couldn't speak.She pushed the door open several times and wanted to ask her mother, but she was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions and tell her everything she had seen.

Just when she was so distracted that she couldn't read the book, Mo Feifei sent a text message: "Happiness and I are nothing more than a mirror image, and if it disappears, it disappears. But I don't want to let go, even if my body is covered with bruises.

Bu Zidu has made an appointment to draw a sketch this afternoon, do you want to come and see? "

Xu Heyin raised his head and looked out the window. The weather was clear and sunny, and it was indeed a good weather for going out.The day before yesterday, she sent Ying Yuan the photos she took with Mo Feifei, Zhou Jingyou and other classmates during the outreach exercise, but Ying Yuan said that he didn't have time to look at them and would talk about it in a few days.Xu Heyin knew that Ying Yuan and his friends were preparing to go camping in the prairie, so he had no choice but to put away his disappointment and told him to be careful on the road.

After my mother washed the sheets, her mood seemed to be as refreshing as the sheets that had been dried in the sun.She said: "Heyin, I have been reading for several days in a row, and today I have a little rest for half a day. Let's go out to eat. What do you want to eat?"

"There aren't many restaurants around here!" Xu Heyin said listlessly.

"Oh, then let's go for a walk in the city. By the way, you can also go to play with your classmates."

Mom shook the car keys in her hand.

Xu Heyin suddenly felt sad sitting in the co-pilot seat, and she remembered that the woman was also sitting in this seat.In the past, when the family of three went out, she sat in this position, and her mother sat in the back.She was always making trouble for her father, deliberately arguing with him about which way to go.But Dad won't be annoyed, instead, he will joke with her cooperatively.Now that I think about it, since I went to high school, my father's car has become less and less.

Mom turned on the radio casually, and the faint music played, which calmed Xu Heyin's mood a little.

Mom drove the car to the commercial street.She turned her head and saw a high-end French restaurant and said happily, "Why don't I take you to a big meal today!"

Xu Heyin glanced at the restaurant. It was a beautiful and delicate building that looked like it had been moved out of a fairy tale world, full of exotic flavors.She has been here before, so she occasionally wonders "whether it feels different to eat inside".Of course, it's just a matter of thinking about it.Unexpectedly, today she can follow her mother to realize this simple little wish.

"Come down, why are you in a daze!"

Xu Heyin came back to his senses and followed her out of the car, and was led to sit down in a quiet corner of the main hall by the waiter of the restaurant, and then took the menu.

"Look at what's delicious!" Mom flipped through the menu, then pointed to the picture on it and said, "Two servings of this steak, medium rare. Hey, I have worked so hard for so long, and I should comfort myself. "

Then my mother decided to order bread, creamy mushroom soup, fruit and vegetable salad, etc. There seemed to be no hesitation in her generous and natural demeanor, and it was not at all like arguing with my father over renting money.

While eating the steak, Xu Heyin looked at her mother's satisfied expression, and thought to herself that she was right in not telling her about her father, otherwise her mother would be so sad that she might not even be in the mood to eat.

"Come on, Heyin, try it. I heard that the tiramisu here is the best. Hey, I'd like to have an extra vanilla ice cream." !

"Since we are here, of course we have to eat enough!" Mom explained.

Xu Heyin sighed helplessly, took a mouthful of ice cream with a spoon, um, the sweetness is moderate, smooth and not greasy, no wonder mom likes it so much!

"It's delicious. If you know it's so delicious, you should come here before." Mom put down the tableware in her hand and sighed with satisfaction.

"Unfortunately, Dad didn't get it." Xu Heyin said tentatively, "Does Dad work during the long vacation?"

"Say it's a business trip, then you can call Dad and treat him." Mom said half-jokingly.

Xu Heyin took out his mobile phone to call his father, but unexpectedly he still didn't get through.

"It didn't work." Xu Heyin shook the phone at his mother, but her mother didn't speak.

While waiting for her mother to check out, Xu Heyin used the excuse of going to the bathroom to stabilize her thoughts.She guessed that mom really didn't know about dad!In order to prevent her mother from being hurt, Xu Heyin decided to investigate the matter in person.

But how to find out about the woman?Suddenly Xu Heyin thought of that fitness club.Since that woman is a regular visitor there, maybe there will be some message left, maybe someone knows her!
Thinking of this, Xu Heyin felt excited.

In fact, she had a small private thought hidden in her heart, that is, she really thought too much, and her father was still the same as before, loving her and mother, and this family wholeheartedly.

The health club was as loud and boisterous as ever.Just in time for the festival, there are a lot of people coming to exercise.She knew that the woman couldn't be here now, so she decided to go to Mo Feifei first.Mo Feifei said that he wanted to draw a sketch for Bu Zidu, and the location was set in their free-moving rock climbing room.Although Bu Zidu agreed to be a model, he also posed a problem for Mo Feifei, that is, he had to paint while he was exercising.

"Don't you like to look at the lines of my muscles? I'll give you a chance!" Bu Zidu said to Mo Feifei after getting dressed, "But I'll be thankful if you don't paint me like a plaster cast!"

His words drew a burst of laughter from everyone.Mo Feifei pouted, and set up the easel in the corner with a serious face.

Xu Heyin looked at Bu Zidu and Mo Feifei silently, both of them were very involved.

Buzidu began to climb up.The next few of his close friends began to applaud and cheer, and even the consultant sister also came.

Xu Heyin thought for a while, and took the initiative to go to the consultant sister to chat with her.

"Aren't you busy today?"

"It's very busy, I sneaked here to join in the fun while I was in the bathroom.

I heard that a talented woman is going to draw a sketch for Xiao Du, so I'm curious!Well, Xiaodu is to attract the attention of girls. "

Seeing her kind expression, Xu Heyin finally plucked up the courage to ask her about the situation of the woman named Ah Zhen, although she knew that she might find nothing.After all, she had asked Bu Zidu two days ago, but he refused.

"Hey, do you also want to come to the gym?" the consultant sister asked back.

Xu Heyin didn't know whether to nod or shake her head. She didn't know the connection between the two, so she smiled awkwardly.

"Ah Zhen has a VIP card, which cannot be transferred even if it is returned. If you want to come, you can get a season card, just in time for the winter holiday and Spring Festival, and there are discounts, which are very suitable for you students."

It turned out to be the case.

Although the news was not what she expected, fortunately, the consultant sister is no stranger to Ah Zhen.But why would she return the card?Xu Heyin was a little confused. "VIP card is very expensive, right? Why do you just get it back?" Xu Heyin took the opportunity to ask his own question.

"Well, she said it was due to personal reasons. She still has half of the money in her card, and I think it's a pity! But I don't want to inquire about the privacy of customers. I guess something good happened to her, or what else? Laughing all the way through the card refund process, and doesn't seem to care about the money left on the card."

Xu Heyin wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by a burst of warm applause.It turned out that Buzidu had already completed a climb and was drinking water in the rest area.The consultant sister slipped out for a while, so she greeted them with a smile and went back to the office area.

In just a few minutes, Mo Feifei's portrait had a rough outline.Taking advantage of his pace to rest, someone next to him changed his clothes and was eager to try.Seeing this, Mo Feifei hurriedly changed the drawing paper and continued to draw.

"Ah, you are so greedy, do you want to draw all the beautiful men here?" Bu Zidu teased Mo Feifei loudly, walked towards Xu Heyin, and then touched her arm, "Why are you so dazed?" what?"

"Ah, you're down." Xu Heyin was busy thinking about what the good thing the consultant sister said just now, and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation at all.

"What's wrong with you? You're out of your mind! Are you jealous when you see your classmate draw me?"

Xu Heyin was in no mood to joke with him.Now her mind is full of that woman named Ah Zhen.

He didn't ask anything from the consultant sister, and Bu Zidu refused to help, so Mo Feifei was the only one left.At least she has seen that woman, and she and her family are also working out here, so maybe she will know more news.

By the time Bu Zidu got off work, Mo Feifei already had three sketches.She dragged Xu Heyin and Bu Zidu to get ready for dinner.Although Buzidu's senior strongly agreed, Buzidu still seemed uninterested, and even ran away after answering a phone call.

"Disappointing, he changed his mind after making an agreement, and made it so mysterious, what the hell is he doing?" Mo Feifei asked Xu Heyin, and Xu Heyin shook his head.Although she didn't know what Bu Zidu was thinking about, she had an intuition that it must have something to do with the girls in those old photos.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't have all the people. I'm going home and I have to finish my work." Mo Feifei pointed to the easel with some displeasure.

"Hey, wait a minute." Xu Heyin hesitated and stopped her, but he didn't know how to ask her.

"You want to ask about that woman! If you are interested, I can ask other people for you during the yoga class next week!" Mo Feifei seemed to see through her mind and stared into her eyes meaningfully, " But tell me why you're so interested in her."

"..." Xu Heyin was silent.She didn't know how to explain all this, and she didn't have the courage to tell the truth.

"I guess... the man I saw that day was your father!"

"You know this too?" Xu Heyin was stunned.

"Please, I'm not blind or foolish. Your expression that day seemed like you swallowed a fly, and that man's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to yours. You can figure out what's going on! Actually, this This kind of thing has happened to me too! My dad went abroad to study, and my mother just threw me here to accompany me to study because she was afraid that he would change his mind!"

Mo Feifei wanted to say something more, but after seeing that Xu Heyin was a little uncomfortable, he waved his hands:
"Forget it, this is your family business, I don't bother to care about it. But if I really want to find out any negative news, I will not be responsible."

Seeing Mo Feifei's back going away, Xu Heyin's mind became a hornet's nest.What Mo Feifei said to herself was like a tumbler, turning back and forth in her heart and losing her balance.

On the way back, Xu Heyin suddenly received a call from Zhou Jingyou.

"Xu Heyin, what should I do? Come and save me!"

"what's going on?"

"Oh, I met Fang Jiwan. If my mother sees it, it will be broken."

"Where are you?" Xu Heyin was a little confused.Ordinarily, Fang Jiwan is not a scourge, so what if Aunt Zhou sees it?

Wait, how did Zhou Jingyou and Fang Jiwan meet?
It turned out that there were two days before the end of the long vacation, and Zhou Jingyou returned to school early, and he planned to use these two days to review his homework.But at noon that day, she found that the red gel pen for annotation was gone, so she asked for leave to go out to buy a pen.Although there was a stationery store near the school, she suddenly wanted to go to the old bookstore that Fang Jiwan mentioned.

The front of the second-hand bookstore is very small, only a dozen square meters.The tall bookshelves against the wall are full of books.Since the sunlight can only shine on a small part of the door, the inside is very dark, and there is a unique smell of old books in the air.

"The book on the left is half price, and the book on the right is [-]% off." Seeing a visitor, the boss rushed forward to say hello.

"Where are the books on fashion design?" Zhou Jingyou asked, she was suddenly curious about what was in the books Fang Jiwan bought.

"Look at the pile here." The boss pointed to a pile of books under a bookshelf and said.

Zhou Jingyou walked over and looked through the books.There are many kinds of books, including a guide to daily diet precautions, manuals on planting flowers and plants, and raising pets...Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pulled out the book about clothing tailoring from the pile of books.But when she took it out, she was a little disappointed.This book is a large format, and last time Fang Jiwan bought a small format book.Although the versions are different, they belong to the same category, so the content inside should be similar!
Zhou Jingyou flipped through it intently. There were many drawings and illustrations in it. Detailed annotations were marked on the neckline, sleeve length, and cuffs of the jacket, the waistline of the clothes, and the length of the trousers.She couldn't help but think of the scene of making clothes by herself when she was a child, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

In fact, the reason why Zhou Jingyou paid so much attention to Fang Jiwan was because he did what she wanted to do.

Zhou Jingyou has been interested in manual activities since he was very young.When she was in middle school, she often sneaked to the neighbor's house to watch the old woman make clothes for her newborn granddaughter.Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she eagerly made a puppet with the leftover fabric given by the old woman.Although it was rough, she was still very excited.

"It's the first time I've done it. It's pretty good. Youyou is such a clever girl." The mother-in-law patted her head with a smile.

Praise and encouragement planted a seed in Zhou Jingyou's heart.Until that New Year's performance, the lace inlaid on the skirts of some of the costumes borrowed by classmates had jumpers, and it was she who repaired the lace bit by bit.Since then, an idea has taken root in her heart, that one day she can design and make beautiful clothes by herself.

She is very clear that she is not suitable to be the princess who attracts everyone's attention, but if the princess can wear the clothes she made herself, she will be happier than the princess.

So before the college entrance examination, she paid special attention to the admissions brochure of the Fashion Institute.However, when she volunteered, her mother's persistence was stronger than she imagined.

Many classmates are envious of her high scores, and even Xu Heyin thinks that with her scores, no matter which school she wants to enter, it is easy to do.Unexpectedly, the opposite happened. It was because of her high score that she had no other choice.

Zhou Jingyou knew that her mother hoped that she could become a strong business woman like her, especially after her father passed away.She worked hard to cultivate herself and take care of herself, so she didn't want to make her mother sad, so she hid her true desire in her heart.

She did not expect to meet Fang Jiwan, the person who had the same dream as herself.In fact, she really wanted to help Fang Jiwan.She knows that she can't realize that dream, but if she can see others realize the same dream, she can also feel happy!
While flipping through the book, Zhou Jingyou imagined Fang Jiwan holding a measuring ruler, stepping on the sewing machine, and doing tailoring. It should be very cute.

cute?How could she use this word to describe Fang Jiwan?She shook her head hard, feeling ridiculous.

"Zhou Jingyou, are you here too?" Fang Jiwan's sudden appearance startled Zhou Jingyou.

"Fang, Fang Jiwan, what are you doing here?" After asking, Zhou Jingyou thought the question was stupid, and of course he came to the bookstore to buy books.But, I didn't come here to buy books!So, what are you doing here?Is it just to see what book Fang Jiwan is reading?what to do?If you let him know what you think, will you laugh at yourself?
"I'm reading. What are you reading?" Fang Jiwan said and walked over.Zhou Jingyou put the book on the bookshelf in a panic, but he didn't insert it and the book fell to the ground.The two hurriedly bent over to pick it up, bumping their heads unexpectedly.

"Oops!" They all exclaimed in unison, and the two hands that touched lightly were separated as if they were electrocuted.

"Sorry, I scared you."

"It's okay, I was not careful!"

Finally, Fang Jiwan picked up the book.He glanced at the cover and was taken aback for a moment, then stared at Zhou Jingyou thoughtfully, as if she was also a book.

"I... flipped through it casually. I was planning to go back and tell you. I thought maybe you would need this book..." Zhou Jingyou stammered as he explained, lowering his head and not daring to look into Fang Jiwan's eyes.

"Okay, this book is [-]% off, it's worth it, I bought it." Fang Jiwan said calmly.

"Ah, you haven't watched it yet, I don't understand, I'm just talking casually." Zhou Jingyou was a little incoherent, "Do you really need it?"

"Need it, why would I come to the bookstore! Besides, when I cut the newspaper last time, didn't you tell me a lot about clothing? I think you know a lot!" Fang Jiwan smiled.

Hearing Fang Jiwan's compliment, Zhou Jingyou blushed.She didn't expect that he would still remember what he had discussed with Fang Jiwan last time.

Zhou Jingyou's shyness also made Fang Jiwan a little unnatural.He tentatively changed the subject and said, "Why did you go back to school today? Didn't you have class yet?"
