Deer in the forest in early autumn

The next day, the weather was still good.
Shen Yanqiu searched through his mailbox for a long time, which was filled with many emails from people who wanted to cooperate.

Hey, I want to draw a picture book about picture book stories! This picture book introduction looks very interesting.
Shen Yanqiu silently flipped through the contents of the picture book left by the other party, Animal Forest...an interesting children's picture book story.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, and at this moment, several cute and playful animal images appeared in her mind.
When she reached the end of the story, she smiled sweetly.

She likes this heartwarming picture book story about long-lasting friendship very much.
Then she continued to browse the relevant information: the other party's requirements for the album, the price and deadline, etc.

I can pick it up recently!
Three minutes later, she wrote a reply email.
It seems like a new job is coming soon! Doing a job you like is really a blessing even when you are busy.

Just as Shen Yanqiu stretched lazily in relaxation.
"Bang!" There was a loud sound of a branch breaking outside the window, which almost frightened her so much that she fell off her chair.

???
What's happening here!
Shen Yanqiu quickly ran to the window. It seemed that... a branch of the big tree in the yard had just broken and fell to the ground.

It seems that the window on the second floor facing south was also broken. Is that the window of Lin Sen'an's room?
This accident was really unexpected.

Aunt Zhang has something to do today, so she's on leave. I'm alone at home. Should I go upstairs to see Lin Sen'an's room?
Shen Yanqiu was muttering to himself when he saw the sky suddenly turned gloomy again, as if it was going to rain soon!

Shen Yanqiu was hesitant just now, but was forced to make a decision at this moment.
Let's go to Lin Sen'an's room and check. If the window is seriously damaged, at least we should find something to block the rain to block it first.

Step by step, Shen Yanqiu walked up the spiral staircase.
She had lived in No. 99 Beiyuan for so long. This was the first time she was going to enter Lin Sen'an's room.
There was already a slight sweat on Shen Yanqiu's palms, and the nervous expression on her face never left her face.

When she reached the door, she placed her pale hand on the door handle and stayed there for half a second.
It seems that opening the door at this time is something that requires a lot of courage.

"Swish, swish, swish." The sound of rain interrupted her thoughts. It was raining, and she had to go into Lin Sen'an's room.
The next moment, the door opened. Shen Yanqiu stood there in a daze, frowning slightly. After an unknown amount of time, she came to her senses and walked in.

Lin Sen'an's room was in a cool tone, with gray, black and white interweaving together. The black sofa was under the broken window, and many broken glass pieces from the window were scattered on the black leather sofa and the wooden floor.

Shen Yanqiu's eyes did not stay at the window for too long. She could not help but walk to Lin Sen'an's desk, because there were many paintings that she was very familiar with, such as the gentle "Sea", "Wind" from last year, and "Years" that Q painted when he was still a nobody.

Lin Sen’an is——Z.
This thought was a thousand times more violent than the rain outside the window, like a turbulent sea rolling over.

For the first time, Z took the initiative to buy his own paintings.
That time, Z’s gentle encouragement.
……
Some scattered fragments flashed through my mind, like a movie emerging.
It turns out that Lin Sen'an, you have always been by my side and never left.

Not sure if it was relief, touching, or perhaps shock, a tear rolled down from the corner of Shen Yanqiu's eye and fell silently on the thick black plush carpet.

Sen Sen...I'll settle accounts with you when you come back.
Shen Yanqiu bit her lips, her brows relaxed, and she nodded slightly to herself.

She walked out of Lin Sen'an's room, came back with a broom, and started to clean up the broken window glass.
In the afternoon, when the weather became slightly clear again, Shen Yanqiu called the community property management to help replace the new windows.

Not until the property people left did Shen Yanqiu feel a little relieved.
[Sister, your brother is a master at games. I must bring you a championship trophy this year.] Shen Yang replied to this message belatedly today.

[Shen Yang, whoever doesn't keep his word will be a puppy if he doesn't win the championship!]
[Sister, if Brother Yu doesn't win the championship, is he still a puppy? Hahaha] On the other side, Shen Yang seemed to have not made enough of the fuss and replied to the message shamelessly.

【…】
【piss off! 】
[Go train Shen Yang!] After replying to three messages in a row, Shen Yanqiu shook his head helplessly.
My younger brother is really naughty. I should find someone to take good care of him in the future.

"Qiuqiu, I'm back——" Lin Sen'an's clear voice came from the door. This time, Shen Yanqiu put down the phone in his hand and sat on the soft sofa. He didn't rush to him and hug him as usual when he heard Lin Sen'an's voice.

Lin Sen'an waited for a minute at the door, but still didn't get the hug that he was familiar with every day. There was a ripple in his eyes. Could it be that Qiuqiu fell asleep?
With a puzzled look, Lin Sen'an took off his black coat and hung it up, changed into cotton slippers, and walked into the living room.
The atmosphere in the living room seemed to be somewhat cold. Shen Yanqiu sat upright on the sofa with a serious expression.

"Hello, Z." The next moment, Shen Yanqiu spoke slowly, word by word. It seemed that he was a little... gritting his teeth.
Uh... my vest fell off? Lin Sen'an's eyes wavered at this moment, but the next moment he changed into a pitiful look. "Wife, actually... I have long wanted to explain to you that I am Z." Lin Sen'an had an extremely aggrieved expression on his face and moved directly to Shen Yanqiu's side. He blinked and stretched out his slender hand to pull Shen Yanqiu's sleeve.

"How about... Honey, I buy you a few bags you like?" After saying this, Lin Sen'an carefully observed Shen Yanqiu's expression. The corners of her mouth fluctuated slightly, and she continued, "Honey, how about I buy you ten boxes of your favorite Sprite!"

When Shen Yanqiu heard this, he felt angry and wanted to laugh.
Lin Sen'an really knows how to control his boss. I can't defeat this man alone!

"No~ Sen Sen, you bad guy have deceived me for many years. I! Will! Punish! You!" Shen Yanqiu narrowed his black eyes, and spoke indifferently with a smile on his lips.

"Wife, how are you going to punish me~" Lin Sen'an asked in an ambiguous tone.
"...Ahem." Shen Yanqiu suddenly thought of something! His face flushed! He quickly pretended to cough a few times to cover up his embarrassment.

"Sesen, didn't you say last time that drawing is your weakness? I want to watch you draw today. Here, I have prepared all the drawing materials for you." After saying this, Shen Yanqiu gently pointed to the drawing paper and pen on the coffee table.

This time, Lin Sen'an frowned, then sighed, and then began to paint seriously.
Ten minutes later, when Shen Yanqiu picked up a perfect stickman drawing, she couldn't help laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

“Hahahahahaha, Sen Sen, your painting is better than that of a three-year-old kid, hahahaha.”
"Really, I didn't expect that the paintings of Lin Sen'an, the proud son of heaven, are so down-to-earth!" Shen Yanqiu felt that all his resentment had disappeared at this moment.

Two hours later, Shen Yanqiu was ready to go out with Lin Sen'an. Last time, the two agreed to go to the Forest Waterfall, a new internet celebrity check-in spot in F City, if they were free today.

It just so happened that Lin Sen'an came back early today.
"Senan, how about I drive? I've had my driver's license for a long time." When Shen Yanqiu came to the garage, he was a little excited when he saw Lin Sen'an's new off-road vehicle. I heard that girls who drive off-road vehicles are super cool!
Lin Sen'an's eyes were filled with doting. He lowered his head and touched Shen Yanqiu's head: "My Qiuqiu is such an amazing person. I'll ask you to drive today!"

"Hehe... But Lin Sen'an, I am also your one and only little friend forever!" Shen Yanqiu happily took the car keys from Lin Sen'an. She opened the car door and got into the main driver's seat. She stuck her head out of the car window and smiled playfully: "Sesen, your exclusive driver is waiting for you to get in the car, hahahaha."

The afternoon sun shines warmly on the tips of her pink hair, bringing a breath of spring to her bright eyes and brows.
At this moment, Lin Sen'an seemed to have returned to the day when he met Shen Yanqiu many years ago.

That day, a playful and cute little girl broke into his world with a bright smile.
The next moment, he looked at the brilliant smile with longing, nodded, and opened the passenger door.

At this time, in the southern part of F City, Thirteen Hidden Gardens, Feng Xi slowly got up from the soft goose down bed.
I worked all night yesterday on the drawings for my new book.

Different from his previous illustration series, this time he incorporated some ink painting techniques.
After working hard for seven days, I finally finished the first draft and was satisfied with it.

When I looked up, I saw a profile picture on my phone, quietly and obediently. I wondered... should I disturb her?
Feng Xi hesitated for a moment, then closed the phone interface. He slowly got up and sat lazily on the sofa.
The room was filled with a faint scent of violet incense.

Closing his eyes, Feng Xi seemed to have returned to many years ago.
That year, the younger me should be called: Xu Fengxi. That year, I was a student at S City No. 7 Middle School. When I first saw Shen Yanqiu, I felt that this little girl had big eyes and a curved smile, which was very spiritual.

"Hello, senior. Excuse me, where is the yew tree in No. 7 Middle School?" The little girl's voice was as sweet as the sound of a spring.
Later, when he saw a painting called "Sky" on display at school, he felt that he was no longer alone. It turned out that there were people who could meet him in the world of painting.

Xu Fengxi remembered that the painting was full of purple and pink sky, and there was a line of beautiful handwriting below: When I miss the sky, the world is lonely and embraces the warm tone, and I am alone with loneliness. - Shen Yanqiu.

From then on, he remembered the little girl's name.
He remembered that at that time he seemed to be the most lonely person in the world with only his favorite paintings and the sky, and he seemed out of tune with the world.

Shen Yanqiu was like a beam of light, descending from the sky.
It was a pity that the secret love in my youth did not have a good result, and it ended when I transferred to another school that year.

Now, how should I re-enter your world, Shen Yanqiu?
The dazzling sapphire earring on Xu Fengxi's right ear was shining at this moment, and the next second, he slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Xu Fengxi seemed to have made up his mind. He picked up the phone again: [Q, I want to ask you for a favor. Take a look at the first draft of my new painting and give me some suggestions. I wonder when you are free recently? ] Sent, success.
