Chapter 11: “Liang Qi-style” people…
The next day, Shen Xiyu slept until almost noon, a rare occasion, but was still woken up by a few unknown birds on the sycamore tree outside the window. The greening of this community is really good, almost like a tropical rainforest, and those birds must be flying here.
She had no habit of sleeping in clothes at home, so she got up and put on a very loose white short-sleeved shirt, which only partially exposed her thin and slender arms, and the hem just reached her knees. She had bought this shirt specially as home clothes. This kind of short-sleeved shirt was much more comfortable than pajamas. Although she had bought a lot of fancy pajamas, as long as she didn't go out overnight, she still loved this short-sleeved shirt that she had polished.
After washing, the girl simply tied her hair into a side braid.
It's time to cut my hair. It's too long to braid.
"Why are you crying?" Shen Xiyu sat by the window with a bottle of mineral water he had just taken out of the refrigerator, talking to himself and reviewing what happened last night.
…
No, it was too embarrassing. Not only did I hit cotton with my punch, but I was also made to cry by someone else's powerful words. What was I thinking at that time?
But she was also a little glad that the other person was Liang Qi, so she didn't have to worry about him telling others. Besides, what kind of person was he?
that is.
Anyway, he is the kind of "Liang Qi" person, and he won't embarrass her by mentioning this matter when they meet again.
Shen Xiyu shook his head and drove the boy out of his head.
She put on a pair of shorts, took out half of the watermelon she had stockpiled a few days ago from the refrigerator, poured some ice cubes into it, and carried it to the desk.
She opened her notebook and started typing. Her contracted editor had urged her to submit the manuscript three times this week.
Shen Xiyu signed a contract with this magazine when she was fourteen years old. At first, she just wrote for fun and published it on the official website of their platform. Two months later, her current editor "Sister Du" found her through the Internet and said she wanted to sign her. Shen Xiyu signed a twenty-year contract without thinking much at the time, but fortunately, their magazine is highly recognized in China and has also produced a group of award-winning writers. Shen Xiyu did not lose money signing with them, and she made almost ten thousand yuan in total.
She had stopped writing for almost a year because family matters and academic pressure left her with no time to write.
But she was really short of money during the summer vacation, so she went back to write again. Sister Du knew her age and repeatedly told her that if she wanted the official to promote her this time, she had to produce a medium-length novel before entering her senior year of high school, and put it here to retain readers.
Shen Xiyuneng didn't know this. She originally wrote essays, and no one would read this kind of serious literature on their mobile phones unless it was published in paper magazines.
Although she has written short and medium-length novels, she finds it difficult to write a novel, and as a procrastinator, it is difficult for her to update it every other day.
Despite this, Shen Xiyu still loves her career very much, so she does plan to write a medium-length novel as Sister Du said, and submit it for competition to test the waters.
The article she wrote this time was influenced by magical realism, which is her comfort zone and she is more confident in it.
Despite this, Shen Xiyu still struggled with writing every day until he collapsed. Sometimes he could write 20,000 words a day without eating or drinking, and sometimes he could just sit there and watch birds all day.
I feel good today and write very smoothly.
Shen Xiyu raised his head and saw that the sky outside the window was already getting dark.
She opened her phone to check the time. She had been writing without moving from twelve o'clock to after five o'clock. She was almost moved to tears by her own efforts.
Shen Xiyu was not very hungry, after all, she had not moved for a whole day, so she ate half a watermelon to fill her stomach.
She has a bad habit. As long as she is not in school and not moving, she will only eat the afternoon meal.
Chen Ningzhou often said that her operation was anti-human, but Shen Xiyu disagreed.
After rubbing his aching waist from sitting stiffly, Shen Xiyu fell headfirst onto the soft sofa in the living room, opened the food delivery app and was about to order some food to maintain his vital signs.
Suddenly I thought of Liang Qi opposite me.
I don't know if he has eaten.
—How about asking? Want to order together?
——Why ask him?
——At least they bought themselves breakfast and small cakes,
——After such an embarrassing incident yesterday, do you want to see him again today?
—I’ve been embarrassed so many times in front of him that I’ve become immune to it…
In Shen Xiyu's heart, two villains were competing fiercely.
How about sending him a message and asking?
However, she doesn't seem to have his WeChat.
Hmm... We've been sitting at the same table for over a month, but we don't have WeChat...
But she remembered that Qin Yiyan had added him to the group of five of them.
Shen Xiyu doesn't really like replying to group chat messages, and usually sets them to "Do Not Disturb".
I swiped my phone and found the group called "Company".
At that time, that idiot Zhang Zhi insisted on calling it this, saying that it would make them look more business-like...
Despite all the complaints, none of them changed their name.
We haven't chatted in the group for a long time. All we have are messages from everyone reporting home and invitations to team games. After all, we see each other every day at school, and we never stop chatting offline.
Chen Xiyu clicked on the group chat and saw the account with no notes. The name was "L" and the avatar was...
A cat?
A cat that Shen Xiyu doesn't know what breed it is but is pretty
I didn't expect Liang Qi to have a cat.
But such a beautiful cat might be a picture from the Internet.
Just as he was thinking, Shen Xiyu was brought back to his senses by the sound of "dong dong" knocking on the door.
Who's here at this hour?
Only Dai Meng, Chen Ningzhou and Zhang Weifang know that she lives here.
Oh, and the one across from her...
Shen Xiyu stood up and went to the door.
Through the peephole, she saw Liang Qi's distorted face, like a big-headed doll.
Shen Xiyu saw that it was him and opened the door, "What's wrong?"
Liang Qi saw that Shen Xiyu was obviously stunned for a moment.
The collar of the girl's clothes was a little loose, revealing one shoulder. A string of red beads was wrapped around her wrist, making her skin look even whiter. Her legs were straight and slender.
Liang Qi's face flushed instantly, and he tilted his head to the side and coughed uncomfortably, "Do you want to... go change your clothes first?"
Shen Xiyu lowered his head to look at himself, and now he realized that it was a bit inappropriate for him to open the door in his clothes.
She quickly slammed the door, "Wait a minute."
After closing the door, Shen Xiyu leaned against it, breathing heavily, his heart beating rapidly.
She didn't even want to go out and face Liang Qi.
Five minutes later,
The door of Shen Xiyu's house was opened again.
Liang Qi was still waiting for her in the corridor.
This time, Shen Xiyu wore a set of bunny pajamas with long pants.
The whole person has a feeling of relaxation and gentleness.
She seemed... completely different from when Liang Qi saw her at school, but he couldn't tell what was different.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Shen Xiyu asked him, "What's wrong with you? Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Liang Qi then remembered the main purpose of his trip.
"Oh, that... My uncle is here. He's the one playing the piano in the park. He's a good cook. Do you want to come and have some food?"
As if afraid that she would disagree, he quickly added, "There are only two of us, so we have too much food to cook."
Shen Xiyu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she didn't want to reject his kindness, and...she was indeed quite interested in Liang Qi's weird uncle who played the piano in the middle of the night.
When Shen Xiyu and Liang Qi entered the room, Fu Shengrui was making the last dish.
Liang Qi, this brat, originally thought that since there were only two of them, they could just cook two dishes to get by.
Who knew this guy would insist on asking him to order more dishes, saying that someone else was coming.
He was almost done but no one came. He thought Liang Qi just wanted to eat more.
Just as he was about to turn around and attack Liang Qi, he saw his eldest nephew through the transparent sliding door of the kitchen.
Bring...
Brought a girl back?
This guy is really good, I thought he was cheating on me,
He looked at the girl in her pajamas.
no?
Kidnapped in pajamas? What's going on? He wouldn't do anything illegal, would he?!
Fu Shengrui rushed out holding a spatula, and pointed the spatula at Liang Qi in panic.
"You...you little brat! Where did you come back from?! Why did a girl come back with you in her pajamas!" If you listened carefully, you could hear that his voice was trembling.
Realizing that Liang Qi's uncle must have misunderstood something, Shen Xiyu hurriedly explained, "Well, I live across the street... I haven't been out for a day, so I came here in my pajamas. Please don't misunderstand me, uncle."
Fu Shengrui realized that he had made a big mistake and said guiltily that he was going back to the kitchen to check on the pot. Before leaving, he gave Liang Qi a glare, blaming him for not making it clear in advance.
Instead, Liang Qi listened to Shen Xiyu's explanation and leaned against the wall, looking at her playfully, "Uncle?"
"That's because you call me uncle. We're about the same age, so if not uncle, what should I call you? Brother? That would make me older than you, so you have to address me respectfully. Why do you want to call me sister?"
"Sister." Liang Qi spoke decisively as soon as she finished speaking.
"......" Shen Xiyu's face flushed red, shocked by this man's shamelessness.
"You...did a donkey kick your head?"
"I was born very late, so I'm definitely younger than you. It's okay for me to call you sister. What month were you born and when is your birthday?" The boy's eyes were full of sparkling smiles.
“…I don’t celebrate my birthday.”
Liang Qi could sense that Shen Xiyu's expression was unnatural when he mentioned this matter.
I tactfully didn't mention the matter again.
Shen Xiyu realized that his answer was too stiff, which froze the atmosphere a little, so he took the initiative to start a conversation.
"At first I thought you didn't know the guy who played the piano that day. By the way, why was he playing there so late at night?"
"His brain..."
Before he could finish, Fu Shengrui came out with a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs. "What did you say, you little brat? I heard everything!"
"Little boy, don't listen to his nonsense. Hey, I've seen you before. You were the one who was always reading books late at night a while ago."
"Yes, it's me." Shen Xiyu quickly took the dish and put it on the table where several dishes were already placed.
"Give it to me. You are a guest, go and sit down." Liang Qi took the lead.
Fu Shengrui watched the interaction between the two people with interest.
Last time I asked his nephew, didn’t he say he didn’t like her? Does this mean he doesn’t like her now?
interesting.
Three people sat around the wooden dining table.
Shen Xiyu felt a little uncomfortable. She was not very familiar with her uncle Liang Qi. With him around, she felt embarrassed to talk to Liang Qi all the time.
It was Fu Shengrui who spoke first.
"Little girl, are you and Liang Qi classmates?"
"Yes, we are desk mates."
"Oh, why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Fu Shengrui nudged Liang Qi with his elbow in a teasing manner.
"Why should I tell you?" Liang Qi ignored his joke.
"Look at my nephew's bad temper. It must be so difficult to sit at the same table with him." Fu Shengrui looked at the girl who was eating opposite him.
Liang Qi has a bad temper?
Shen Xiyu felt that he had never met anyone with a better temper than Liang Qi.
"No, he has a good temper. He will take the initiative to discuss questions with classmates, care about others, and is polite to everyone." She seriously defended Liang Qi.
Fu Shengrui's mouth opened wide unconsciously.
He could understand politeness, as his sister always attached great importance to politeness when educating her children.
But, caring about others? Good temper?
Was this girl under his spell? How could she say such a thing?
"See?" Liang Qi raised his chin towards Fu Shengrui proudly, "Listen to what my deskmate said about me."
?
Just give him some color and he'll start a dyeing factory?
Shen Xiyu rolled his eyes in his heart.
After dinner, Liang Qi saw that Shen Xiyu was not feeling well, so he offered to send her back.
Fu Shengrui was puzzled. "Don't they live just across the street?"
Liang Qi threw the TV remote at him and said, "Go watch your TV."
“…”
In fact, Chen Xiyu didn't want Liang Qi to send her out. It was only a few steps away and it would seem like she was being pretentious, but she couldn't resist the boy's insistence on following her out.
When she left the house, Liang Qi stopped her and asked, "Is this the only meal you're going to have today?"
?
Why are you in charge again? Scout?
Shen Xiyu said whatever he was thinking, "Are you a scout?"
Shen Xiyi thought that he had eaten too much just now, and wondered in his heart, didn't you ask me to go over and eat, and now you are complaining that I ate too much.
"No, I ordered takeout for lunch and ate it early, so I'm very hungry now."
Shen Xiyu himself didn't know why he had to explain to him.
"This house is not very soundproof. I was at home all day and didn't hear any knocking on the door." Liang Qi looked at her and lied.
?
abnormal?
As soon as Liang Qi saw the girl's expression, he knew that she was cursing him in her heart.
But it seems that I have indeed crossed the line, and she will be scared away again.
"Go back. You can come over next time when you're hungry. There's always food at my house, and I cook plenty." Liang Qi put aside his patience and spoke to her carefully.
You always do more, why don’t you do less next time?
Shen Xiyu thought to herself, but she could guess Liang Qi's intention, so she didn't say anything more.
"Yeah... I understand. Bye then?"
"good evening."
…
When Liang Qi returned home, Fu Shengrui was bored and playing cartoons and his mobile phone.
When I saw it was him, I immediately put down my phone.
"Oh, isn't this Liang Qi from our family, who cares about others and is polite?" Fu Shengrui couldn't help but laugh and teased him, "When did our family produce such a kind-hearted person?"
Liang Qi knew he was doing this on purpose, so he just passed him and went upstairs to wash up. "Get lost."
