Su Ping couldn't bear to discourage his confidence, so she smiled and nodded, looking at the painting.
This art style is indeed a bit hard to look at.
Su Ping suppressed her laughter, but when her gaze fell on Shen Jiayu's face in the painting, the smile on her lips suddenly froze.
Then, incredulously, he took the drawing paper and looked at the picture on it repeatedly.
Seeing this, Shen Silan said with pride, "How about it? My drawing of my uncle looks a lot like him, doesn't it? Do you want me to teach you...?"
As Shen Silan spoke, she took another piece of paper and began to draw on it with a pencil.
"An old man named Ding owes me two eggs. I said I'd pay him back in three days, but he said he'd pay me back in four. He also owes me a big sesame seed cake, three leeks for 33 cents, a piece of tofu for 66 cents, and a string of candied hawthorns for 77 cents!"
These familiar words seemed to come from the depths of her memory. Su Ping felt a splitting headache and quickly covered her head.
She felt as if she had heard these words somewhere long ago.
"How did you manage to draw this?!"
Su Ping stepped forward, grabbed Shen Silan's shoulders tightly, and questioned her loudly.
The pain in her head made her look like she was about to explode, her eyes bloodshot and somewhat terrifying.
Shen Silan was startled by her appearance and muttered to herself, "Didn't you teach me to draw...?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping felt a ringing in her ears, and her blood seemed to freeze instantly.
Then everything went black, and I slowly lost consciousness.
"Pingping, pingping..."
"Senior, you said you'd always be there for me..."
"Pingping!"
Su Ping felt as if she were in a state of chaos, surrounded by darkness, with no light in sight.
She tried desperately to run forward, but no matter how hard she ran, she couldn't reach the end; the road ahead seemed to have no end.
“Pingping…”
Many voices were calling her name in her mind, but she couldn't remember anything.
In the end, he could only cover his head in pain and squat down on the ground in despair.
Finally, she heard a woman's sigh, and all the voices in her mind suddenly vanished as if they had been dispelled.
"Remember now, you can't stay here."
The female voice sounded familiar. Su Ping looked up, but couldn't see anything. Who was speaking?
"Who are you!"
Su Ping suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed, startling Shen Silan and Xiao Mei who were beside her.
"Fairy sister, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
When Xiao Mei saw that she had regained consciousness, a happy and worried smile immediately appeared on her face, and she rushed over to grab her hand.
She suddenly fainted in front of them while she was drawing, which really startled them.
Su Ping clutched her chest, feeling her heart pounding wildly inside, and memories of the time before she fainted flooded back.
She looked up at the two children beside the bed in disbelief and found that their eyes held no emotion other than worry.
But she was certain that she heard those words from Shen Silan before she fainted.
Suddenly, her hands and feet felt cold. Forcing herself to calm down, she grasped Shen Silan's hand, stared into his eyes, and asked him word by word.
"Silan, do you remember what I asked you when we were drawing just now?"
Shen Silan was taken aback for a moment, then asked, somewhat puzzled, "What?"
"It was when you showed me the painting you had finished that I asked you something!"
She knew she might get a little emotional, but she couldn't control herself right now. The thought of that possibility made her feel a wave of fear.
Shen Silan was clearly frightened by her; her eyes reddened and she opened her mouth as if she was about to cry.
Finally, Xiaomei gently tugged at her arm and said, "Fairy sister, have you forgotten? You fainted before the drawing was even finished..."
These words were like a muffled thunderclap, exploding in her mind.
Su Ping's face immediately showed a look of horror, and she threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed.
She felt that either the world was in trouble or she herself was the problem.
As Shen Jiayu was leading Chen Qi upstairs, he saw Su Ping stumble off the bed and run out of the room without even putting on her shoes, and he immediately frowned.
"Pingping, you just fainted. Let the doctor take a look at you."
Looking at Shen Jiayu's face, Su Ping felt dizzy again, and finally managed to steady herself by holding onto the bed behind her.
The voice he just used to call his own name was exactly the same as one of the voices he heard in his dream.
Chen Qi watched as she stared nervously at Shen Jiayu, looking as if she were very scared.
She immediately nudged his arm and asked, "Did you do something to her that scared the little girl like this?"
Shen Jiayu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.
He saw her trembling when he was sitting down there drawing for Silan, and then she suddenly fainted on top of him.
Moreover, he slept for three or four hours without waking up. In the end, he had no choice but to call Chen Qi and ask him to come and take a look.
After all, he had invited these guests, and he couldn't just stand by and do nothing about what was happening in his own home.
Chen Qi clearly didn't believe him, looking at him as if he were a beast.
Shen Jiayu slapped him on the shoulder: "Go and see what's wrong with her."
Sensing Chen Qi's approach, Su Ping barely managed to calm herself and answered a few questions in cooperation with him.
Finally, Chen Qi came to a conclusion: "There's nothing seriously wrong, I've just been too tired lately, I just need to get more rest."
As soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, Su Ping put on her shoes and got out of bed.
Seeing this, Shen Jiayu stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "You just woke up, rest a while longer, I'll take you home later."
Upon feeling his touch, Su Ping instinctively shuddered, then stiffly pulled his hand away.
"I'm fine. I'm going to see a friend, so I'll head back now."
Su Ping felt her mind was in a mess. Apart from Shen Jiayu, everyone else in front of her gave her a somewhat unreal feeling.
She felt as if she had returned to the time she went to that alley with Song Qi to eat beef noodles, and the feeling was almost the same.
It's a feeling that everyone else, except yourself, is just doing what they're supposed to do, without having their own thoughts, simply because they have to do that thing.
Shen Jiayu watched Su Ping's departing figure but ultimately did not choose to chase after her.
He just felt it; when he touched her, her body involuntarily began to tremble.
It seems that it really is because of fear.
But haven't they only met two or three times? What is she afraid of?
After leaving the Shen family's gate, Su Ping got into the car, her hands trembling, and she had to try inserting the car key several times before she could get it in.
