Over the mountain is the sea

Chapter 26 A Thorn in the Heart ([-])

The simple two dishes and one soup took nearly an hour.

When Yinan brought the food to the table, he saw Meng Shaoyu sitting on the table by the window, sketching on white paper with a focused expression.

"It's ready to eat." Yi Nan called out to him.

Meng Shaoyu agreed with his mouth, but he couldn't stop writing like flying.Yi Nan walked to him and looked down at the content on the paper.It turned out that what he was painting was himself, already taking shape, adding the light and shade.

The outline of "her" in the painting is clear and distinct, and her pair of eyes are particularly vivid, obviously not scribbled by hand.Maybe it's because he's used to being lazy, so it's unavoidable to be surprised to see his strengths suddenly.

When the work was finally finished, Meng Shaoyu raised his hand to her and said with a smile, "How about it, does it look like it?"

Yi Nan raised it in his hand and looked around for a few times, but he said something wrong, "Is this purely your hobby or your side job?"

Meng Shaoyu got up, clapped his hands, and said with a look of color on his face: "It's both. A friend opened a gallery and asked me to make a few appointments. It is said that the response is not bad."

"Really!" Yi Nan glanced at him and asked directly, "How much can you sell for a painting?"

"Ordinary people! Art is sold regardless of the catty." He strode to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Yi Nan laughed, "I didn't say that your paintings can only be bought by scrap yards!"

He poked his head out of the bathroom, and said with a straight voice: "Don't worry, you don't charge for this picture, and I can frame it for you for free!"

The two sat down to eat, and Yinan teased him unknowingly, "You must have painted portraits of many beauties, right? Then you managed to capture them one by one?"

For some reason, she remembered the scene she saw in the corner of the wall that night, and looked at Meng Shaoyu in front of her again. His complexion was pure, his temperament was elegant and outstanding, and he didn't look like a casual person at all. It can be seen that people can't judge the inside just by their appearance. .

Hearing her teasing him, Meng Shaoyu began to show helplessness on his face. After a pause, he said: "I was not born to be a playboy, but I just didn't meet the right one, so I have to try one by one."

Yi Nan pursed her lips in joy, and then asked with feigned concern: "You are not young, are you 28 or [-]? It's time to try it out. By the way, I saw a girl sending you back two days ago. Girlfriend?"

Meng Shaoyu stared at her naked, and replied firmly: "I don't have a girlfriend!"

Yi Nan saw this posture, fearing that he would take advantage of the situation to be a rascal, so he quickly served him a bowl of soup, and warmly greeted him, "Come, eat, eat more!"

But Meng Shaoyu refused to let go of this opportunity, and while taking the soup she handed over, he said dissatisfiedly: "You said that there is something wrong with me. Although I am not rich and powerful, I am still a white-collar worker. Why do you look down on me like that? fuck me?"

Yi Nan slumped his shoulders, knowing that he would not give up unless he explained clearly, so he simply said: "Don't bother, I only like dedicated men."

Meng Shaoyu raised his face from the soup bowl, blinked his eyes a few times, and said, "Then you may be disappointed, how can you find such a man now."

Yi Nan was in a daze, as if he was a little disheartened, and after a while, he asked sadly: "Does it mean that all men want to be Duan Zhengchun?"

"Who is Duan Zhengchun?"

Yi Nan closed her eyes, sighed, and muttered, "We have a generation gap, so I didn't mention it."

Meng Shaoyu laughed loudly, "I'm fooling you, who doesn't know Jin Daxia! But it is true that men eat from the bowl and look at the pot. If Duan Yu hadn't been because those girls were all his sisters, he would probably have They are all married, Jin Daxia is still traditional after all.” He picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks and put them on his bowl, but he didn’t eat them right away, after thinking for a while, he said: “But Duan Zhengchun is not bad either, he is handsome and suave, At least when he is facing every woman, he is single-minded."

Seeing that he actually admired Duan Zhengchun, Yinan sneered secretly, "So, are you his reincarnation?"

Meng Shaoyu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again and said: "I'm worse than him, no matter what you say, I'm still a prince."

Yi Nan snorted, "It's pretty self-aware."

"Who do you like?" He asked Yinan back.

"Me?" Yi Nan was stunned for a moment and then replied, "Qiao Feng!"

Hearing this, he immediately smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "You are a typical little girl complex, so you like tragic heroes. These days, maybe you can find a lot of lovers like Duan Zhengchun, but Qiao Feng? Haha, I haven’t seen it anyway.”

Yi Nan was a little unconvinced, "In this world, there will always be such a person, but..." She suddenly stopped talking, and her eyes became empty for no reason.

She suddenly felt irritable and didn't want to talk anymore, and Meng Shaoyu seemed to read something between her words and expressions, and consciously braked to talk about other topics, but she began to be careless.

During a meal, Meng Shaoyu had already praised her craftsmanship countless times, but Yi Nan's face was not full of complacency, and he didn't dare to take his words lightly. He started to put a high hat on himself, and then he said cautiously: "You don't mean... you want to praise me for coming over often in the future, right?"

Meng Shaoyu shook his head repeatedly, pointed at her and said, "You are too suspicious!"

Yi Nan felt a little embarrassed after being told the truth by him, and fell silent for a while, she remembered that she was not like this before.

After eating and drinking, Meng Shaoyu scrambled to clean up his job, which surprised Yi Nan, "You can also wash dishes?"

"Nonsense!" He waited on her with blank eyes, "I have lived on campus since high school, and I haven't done any rough work!"

Yi Nan was happy and at ease, seeing him busy happily, this was probably the reward for her hard work.

She poured two glasses of drinks, holding one for herself while drinking while reading the magazine she bought just now.

After waiting long enough, she still didn't see Meng Shaoyu coming out of the kitchen. She couldn't imagine what it would be like for him to do housework, so she walked over holding the cup.

The bowls had already been washed and piled up on the operating table. Meng Shaoyu rolled up his sleeves and was wiping them with a dry towel one by one. .

I have to admit that it feels good to be with Meng Shaoyu.She didn't need to bother to guess the other party's psychology, and she didn't need to care whether he was depressed because of a word of her own. She had never experienced this feeling of total relaxation.

However, is this happiness related to love, even if it is only a small connection?She is not very clear, she only knows that she absolutely does not hate him, to some extent, she even enjoys the time with him.When she was with him, there was none of the bone-wrenching pain and weariness that she longed for so badly.

Therefore, when facing Meng Shaoyu, she would occasionally feel regretful subconsciously. If he didn't have this problem, maybe she would really be willing to try with him.

However, some fundamental things will not change.For example, if she doesn't want to fall in love with a big carrot, she is definitely asking for trouble.

However, this does not prevent them from being pure friends.

After taking a sip of the drink in his hand, Yi Nan said behind him, "By the way, I have a question for you."

Meng Shaoyu glanced back at her, and jokes piled up again on his face, "Don't dare to take it, please say it."

Yi Nan slowly rubbed the cup in his hand, hesitating a bit, "Last time you said...you have read 42 chapters before, I just want to ask you, is there any way...you can...really forget the past? "

She spoke intermittently, but she was already regretting in her heart that she shouldn't have rashly discussed such a sensitive and profound issue with him. Maybe it was the warm back of him that gave her the illusion.

Meng Shaoyu wiped the last tray in his hand, put it away, then turned around, propped his hands on the countertop, and stared at her fixedly, but his eyes were strangely deep.

Yi Nan's heart tightened for no reason, and she almost didn't dare to look at him, fearing that he would see through her heart, so she quickly looked away.

But Meng Shaoyu didn't say anything, he suddenly strode out and was swept into the balcony like the wind, Yi Nan stared at his back in astonishment, and couldn't help following him.

The heavy curtain was torn apart by Meng Shaoyu's powerful arms. His strength was too strong, and some places were slightly torn. Yi Nan didn't know what he was going to do, so he forgot to stop him in a daze.

Soon, he was already opening the glass windows one by one. The windows that hadn't been moved for a long time made an unbearable creaking sound, and the cold wind rushed in. Yinan shivered all over, and instantly woke up. Come over, couldn't help shouting: "What do you want to do?!"

Meng Shaoyu opened all the windows before turning around. His eyes watching her were so bright that in the darkness, Yinan could see the light flickering in his eyes.

"Do you feel cold?"

Yi Nan angrily walked over to close the window, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think? Are you sick?"

"It will be very warm with the windows closed," he asked leisurely behind him, "but don't forget that any space needs ventilation." He paused, then calmly said: "It's the same with the heart."

Yi Nan was stunned, her hand holding the window was frozen there, after a while, she turned her face to look at him, her eyes gradually softened.

The ridicule and glib in his eyes were gone, and he didn't approach her. Through the cold wind, she heard his deep voice slowly say again: "If one day, you can really look at it with the mentality of a game. In this world... is there anything in the past that you can't forget?"

Under the gaze of his clear eyes, Yi Nan turned her head to look at the distant starry sky. She remembered that when she was a child, she especially liked to sleep with her grandfather under the night sky to identify the constellations.

Under the same starry sky, can she still find the clear and peaceful state of mind in her childhood?
