Deer in the forest in early autumn

Early winter, early morning.
Shen Yanqiu lay on the windowsill and looked at the snow still falling from the sky.

I frowned. It has been snowing for the past few days?
The outside of the window was covered with white snow, and she tried to pull her hand out of the pocket of her warm and fluffy Tyrannosaurus Rex pajamas.

I slowly opened the window a crack, and the moment I opened it, a chill hit me in the face.
She was so chilled by the biting cold that she couldn't help but take a step back.

Then she slowly stretched out her hand tremblingly.
Although I have been afraid of cold since childhood, pure white snowflakes fall into my palms from time to time.
When you touch it gently, the snowflakes melt in your palm instantly, and you feel a slight coolness. This feeling is really wonderful!

Close the window.
Shen Yanqiu rubbed his red, frozen hands.
Turning back to stare at the white desk, he saw the sunflower that Lin Sen'an gave him yesterday.
Its flower buds have not yet opened in this snowy winter. It turns out that it is a very small plant.

Sunflower, sunflower.
You need to grow up and open up quickly.

There was a faint smile on Shen Yanqiu's cheek.
She took out her cell phone, took a photo of the sunflower, added a few cute emojis, and sent it to Weibo.
Q【A little surprise in winter.】

Suddenly, a piece of latest news popped up in the hot search.
#Yushen's night meeting with mysterious girlfriend#
#Yushen’s girlfriend outside the entertainment circle is exposed#
?
This time Shen Yanqiu didn't swipe away, but stared at the screen. A strange thought came to her mind.

Lin Sen'an, has a new girlfriend?
Shen Yanqiu's eyes were heavy and her heart was a little bitter. She opened the trending search.

Hey. The girl's back in the photo looks more and more familiar.
Wasn’t this the day when I went to the team to meet Lin Sen’an?
!!!

The evil gossip paparazzi.
What kind of bloody plot is this.
This is a serious false alarm!!!
Shen Yanqiu suddenly thought, I wonder how Lin Sen'an would respond when he sees this hot search?
As she thought about it, she searched the Sen team’s Weibo.
The latest post from Team Mori’s Weibo.

It’s still the same winning streak the team had last time.
I’m afraid Lin Sen’an wouldn’t care about such a small matter?
Shen Yanqiu thought about it and shook his head, then put down his phone. He ran to the sunflower and observed it anxiously.

Don’t think about it, Shen Yanqiu.
As if hypnotizing himself, Shen Yanqiu could only look at it carefully, carefully, and again carefully.

This sunflower... She was just thinking about it when a new message came to her phone.
Fang Cheng screenshot [Team Mori reposted the latest message from Yushen: Chasing. ]
[Qiuqiu, Yushen said he is pursuing you. He updated his account that he hadn’t updated in a thousand years just for you! ]
【Reply to Orange, calm emoji. 】

Is this considered an indirect confession by Lin Sen’an?
It seems that Yu Shen did not deny it in his Weibo post. He said that he was pursuing me?
Meow~ Mochi jumped into Shen Yanqiu's arms.

Shen Yanqiu continued to reply to Fang Cheng's various calm expressions.
In fact, her heart was already surging with waves, a tsunami of magnitude nine.

Lin Sen'an appeared in the living room dragging a black suitcase.
I saw Shen Yanqiu holding the cat next to the cat bowl, seemingly thinking.

"Qiuqiu." His voice was cold and a little bit gentle with weariness.

Shen Yanqiu was startled and frightened. The mochi in his arms meowed at Lin Sen'an.
She looked at Lin Sen'an, her face gradually getting hot. "Lin...Lin Sen'an, good morning."

Looking at the black suitcase next to Lin Sen'an, Shen Yanqiu suddenly felt aggrieved. She asked softly and carefully, "Lin Sen'an, are you going out? Are you coming back?"

Lin Sen'an heard the deliberateness and trembling in Shen Yanqiu's voice.
Seems afraid of something?
Are you afraid that I will leave without saying goodbye again? Thinking of this, he felt a little soft-hearted.
I didn't expect that my sudden departure three years ago would have such a huge impact on Qiuqiu.

In fact, he should have thought of it earlier that although Qiuqiu appears to be cute, silly, simple-minded and carefree.
But she is a delicate and soft girl at heart.

"Qiuqiu, Team Sen has entered the quarterfinals, and the match will be held in S City in three days. I must go to S City with the team." Lin Sen'an spoke slowly. Without pausing for too long, he continued gently, "Don't worry, I will be back next Monday at the latest."

"Okay." It seemed like it had been a long time since I heard Lin Sen'an speak so long.
There was an explanation in his words, and Shen Yanqiu suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

Lin Sen'an, I won't lose you this time, right?

After Lin Sen'an left, Shen Yanqiu opened the notebook he had had since his student days.
Last time, I dreamed of Lin Sen'an. The tears I shed at that time had covered up many of the words I had written before.

She used a pen to gently write on the wrinkled last page: The first day I started to like you again, Lin Sen'an. Next to it was a cartoon pink-haired little man holding a heart.

Boom, boom, boom, my heart awakens in love.
I beat for you.

Waiting for you to catch up with me, Lin Sen'an.

the next day.
Shen Yanqiu sat alone in front of the easel painting.
She suddenly felt that the house was cold and deserted, especially empty.

She accidentally made a mistake in drawing, and she frowned and used the eraser for a long time before she was finally able to start again.

Ding Dong! The master is calling!
Shen Yanqiu looked at the strange phone number and was stunned.
Should I answer it or not?

"Hello." The voice was a little hesitant.
"Excuse me, are you Q Illustrator? I'm the editor-in-chief of the July Weekly. We have a campus story in the next issue and need to add a few illustrations of a green campus. Are you interested in cooperation? I have sent the details to your work email."

"Okay, I have the intention to cooperate. But I need to take a look at the relevant content of the email. I will reply to you later." Shen Yanqiu said and hung up the phone gently. She opened the email and checked it carefully.

Would you like to draw some illustrations about the green campus?
Shen Yanqiu thought of his own high school in City S. Perhaps, he could go back to City S in the next few days?
When she thought of this, her heart moved.
I immediately replied to the email confirming the cooperation with July Weekly. But now there is a problem. My fracture has not healed yet. How can I go back to S City?
She took out her phone and started looking through her contacts.

Lin Senan?
Isn’t this person in S City now?
orange?

After looking a few more times, Shen Yanqiu confirmed that in the two years since he graduated from university, he was almost becoming a lonely person.

Quack quack.
It was as if a lonely frog singing was popping out of my head.

She shook her head and thought, forget it, it can only be the cute, charming and beautiful Orange.
[Orange, help me! Are you free to go to S City this week? ]
[Orange, if you have something to do and can't go, just pretend I didn't ask.]
【Cute and cute expression. 】

Shen Yanqiu sent several messages in a row, still a little worried whether this would make things difficult for Chengzi, as it had been not long since he asked Chengzi to take him to Xishui Town.

Ding ding, I opened the new message and it was Fang Cheng’s reply.
[Cute Qiuqiu, I'm going to S City to watch the live match of Team Mori this Sunday. Bingguo! Let's go together~]
When Shen Yanqiu saw this, his worries instantly disappeared.
【Okay~】

Sunday.
Fang Cheng was wearing a black and white plaid jacket and a black octagonal hat on his head.
She was sitting in the car sent by her agent, looking at her custom-made cowhide sachet that had just arrived last week.

When Shen Yanqiu saw Miss Orange sitting in the back seat of the car, her face curved with eyebrows and a smile like the bright warm sunshine in April, she guessed that her audition for the new play two days ago went well.

"Qiuqiu, come up quickly. Uncle Chen, please open the back door." She blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Then Fang Cheng immediately put down her bag and got out of the car. She took Shen Yanqiu's hand and helped her into the back seat.

"Chengzi, hehe. Okay." When Shen Yanqiu was helped by Fang Cheng to the back seat of the car, he did not forget to say thank you to Uncle Chen.
"Qiuqiu, is your fracture almost healed?" Fang Cheng looked at Shen Yanqiu, who was wearing a white plush fisherman's hat, with concern.
"Is it almost done? The last time I went for a checkup, the doctor said I'm recovering well."

"Yeah, that's good. Ahhh, Qiuqiu. I'm so excited that we can go to watch Team Sen's live game!" Fang Cheng excitedly began to tell Shen Yanqiu about Team Sen's wonderful performances in the previous few times.

City S.
Mori Team Training Hotel.
Lin Sen'an, dressed in grey casual clothes, was sitting in the room looking at the team's practice data over the past few days. His slender fingers slid across the paper. Xiao Cang has performed well recently. Also, this time the opponent has added a very capable new player as a substitute. He stared blankly and thought quietly.

"Knock, knock." Team leader Yin walked in. "Yu Shen, the team has negotiated with many parties regarding the accounts of the gossip reporters you told us about. No one will disturb Miss Shen at will."

Lin Sen'an raised his head, his eyes filled with coldness.
He said casually, "Thank you." He was well aware of Team Leader Yin's ability to handle things.

Recently, Qiuqiu has been busy preparing for a pure white painting exhibition.
Don't let others disturb you because of these trivial matters.

Finally arrived in S City.
Fang Cheng asked Uncle Chen to follow the navigation and took a long detour before parking the car in front of a newly opened five-star hotel.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were filled with joy. "Qiuqiu, I finally managed to book the same hotel as Team Mori. You said that if we were in the same hotel, could we run into each other by chance?"

"Maybe?" Shen Yanqiu said, probably not wanting to dampen Orange's enthusiasm.

In fact, she also had a selfish motive.
If possible, I would love to meet Lin Sen'an by chance.

The match between Team Mori and Team Lightyear is scheduled for 8pm on Sunday.
On Sunday afternoon, Shen Yanqiu took some time to go to his former high school, S City No. 7 High School.
Fang Cheng had an online event in the morning, so she had to ask Uncle Chen to take Shen Yanqiu to the gate of No. 7 Middle School.

No. 7 High School is the most famous high school in S City, and the school has strict control over people entering and leaving.
"Little girl, your alumni information has been registered, and your student ID card is returned to you." The security guard looked at the well-behaved and polite girl in front of him. Alumni records are now illustrators, which is amazing!

Shen Yanqiu thanked him and took his No. 7 Middle School student ID.
It turned out that I had been promoted to an alumnus of many years.

It's a rare day with nice weather in S City today, with light clouds and a gentle breeze.
Shen Yanqiu approached the campus and saw the familiar basketball court and track and field. What appeared before his eyes were the youthful appearance of the young boys and girls of that time.

It’s great to be young.
Hello, eighteen-year-old Qiuqiu.

Passing by the Honor Alumni List, Lin Sen'an's name is clearly visible.
A child of destiny, he ranked first in the province that year. He was admitted to the Department of Finance at Hayakawa University in F City.

Shen Yanqiu looked at Lin Sen'an's glorious deeds and smiled softly.
Lin Sen'an, you are still as dazzling and brilliant as ever.

Suddenly Shen Yanqiu remembered that one day when he was in his second year of high school, he followed Lin Sen'an.
It seemed that the person in front of me had light on him.

I am so envious of the shining Lin Sen'an.
At that time, she hoped that she could also work hard to become a shining person like Lin Sen'an.

Perhaps there will always be someone who will chase the light.
This was my little secret when I was young.
Now, she finally has her own light, and she feels that she can shine in the world of painting.

[Lin Sen'an, I'm your little fan girl. Come on in the game tonight! ]
Sent, Success. Hello, I am 25 years old Lin Sen'an.
