Miss Yu, come to my bowl

Chapter 18

Qin Hongyan didn't make a sound.

In the mode of getting along with Shen Shengnian, both of them have reached a consensus that he is responsible for speaking and she is responsible for listening.

"I seem to be smarter than other children since I was a child. Whether it is ancient poetry or a foreign language, as long as an adult teaches it once, I can remember it firmly. When I was in elementary school, I got 1 points every time I took the exam, so I jumped a lot. Two grades. Maybe in an ordinary family, I am already the pride of my parents and relatives. Unfortunately, my mistake is that I was born in the Shen family. The Shen family is a scholarly family. All of them were university professors in the past. My brothers and sisters in my generation all skipped grades, and all of them were No.[-] in school. My parents may be good at everything, but they have a strong vanity. Their vanity is not placed on material things, but on me. They are not as good as their brothers and sisters of the same generation, so they want their children to be better than theirs. So my excellence has never been praised by my parents. I always think that I am not working hard enough, and I always feel that I am not doing well enough to make them look good in front of their relatives. So, when I was in elementary school, I had no rest days, and my life every day was going to school, going to cram schools, and going to grade exams , lonely and poor."

"Maybe it's subconsciously trying to forget, so I can't remember things clearly when I was a child. The only thing I remember is that I sit at the desk every night and complete the seemingly endless Mathematical Olympiad questions asked by my parents. Since Looking down from the window in front of my desk, I can see the compound of the family building. Every night there are children of my age playing happily. I am very envious of those childish laughter. At that time, my only happiness was When I was tired of doing Mathematical Olympiads, I stretched out my head to look at those children who were playing crazy, and then imagined that I was one of them. But the good times didn’t last long. Later, my parents found out about my behavior and sealed the window. Yes, the only window in the room was sealed piece by piece with wooden boards. When they nailed the window, I felt those sharp nails being driven into my heart at the same time."

Shen Shengnian's voice became lower and lower, and finally stopped.

Qin Hongyan knew that he hadn't finished his sentence, so she didn't ask any further questions, and continued to hold the steering wheel and drive the car forward.They were driving on Binjiang Road, a newly opened road with few vehicles and pedestrians, and the empty two-way six-lane road was like a mirage in the crowded city.

Shen Shengnian spoke again: "Sister Qin, have you ever raised a dog?"

"No." Qin Hongyan gave the answer succinctly.

Her childhood couldn't even guarantee her own survival, so how could she afford another life?
"I raised it, and it was my uncle's birthday present to me. In fact, my uncle was an outlier in the Shen family. He dared to confront the whole family and went to the United States to study economics alone. He was the only family member I liked and respected. At that time, he Ask me what I want for my [-]th birthday, and I say I want a puppy. Sure enough, on my [-]th birthday, my uncle gave me a white and round puppy. In fact, having a dog is my wish since I was a child. It's a pity that my parents were afraid that raising pets would delay my studies, so they never let me do what I wanted. And that time, because it was a gift from my uncle, they couldn't say anything, so they could only reluctantly agree. In fact, I had no friends throughout my childhood , because I had to stay at home to complete the exercises assigned by my parents, and I couldn’t go out at all. Over time, I was no longer invited to activities among classmates. They thought I was a learning machine and a freak. People need friends Creature, I am very lonely. I named that puppy Xiaotuan. The arrival of Xiaotuan dispelled my loneliness, and I regarded it as my friend. Every day when I do exercises, it will stay in my bed obediently. No noise at all. Xiaotuan is really a good dog, but my parents look at Xiaotuan more and more disgusted day by day. Because they think it’s a waste for me to feed Xiaotuan and tease him. Time to study."

Having said that, he stopped again, panting quietly.

Qin Hongyan thought, the next memories must be unbearable for him.

"One time, I had a bad cold and was dizzy and went to take an exam. As a result, I only scored [-] points in the exam, which broke the previous record of [-]%. The teacher comforted me and said that I did this because of illness, and it didn't matter. But I My parents didn't think so, they blamed the problem on Xiaotuan. The next day, they gave Xiaotuan away. My chest was so sad that it seemed to explode, and I cried and clamored to chase Xiaotuan back. But my parents still refused to reveal the whereabouts of Xiaotuan. I could only turn to my uncle for help, and my uncle hurried to find Xiaotuan without saying a word, and as soon as he found out the whereabouts of Xiaotuan, he immediately took him to the family where I adopted Xiaotuan. In the countryside two hours away from my home, Xiaotuan was adopted by a farmer. When I went to their yard, I saw Xiaotuan at a glance. It was lying next to a pile of garbage, foaming at the mouth, and twitching constantly. The farmer who adopted it said that Xiaotuan was greedy for food, and he accidentally ate the rat poison in the corner, and he was about to die. He also said that usually a dog would die soon after eating rat poison. But Xiaotuan But he seemed to know that I was going, so he kept suffering. In fact, I knew very well that Xiaotuan was very good, and he never ate randomly. He was hungry. Xiaotuan had only been away for only a month, and he was skinny and skinny. The people who adopted it did not take good care of it. It was so hungry that it had no choice but to go around to pick up food."

Shen Shengnian lowered his head, and the arc of his mouth was so sad that it was weird: "In such a painful situation, Xiao Tuan was so excited to stand up when he saw me. But it has no strength, so it can only wag its tail weakly. It keeps looking at me. Looking at me, there seemed to be a lot of things to say in its eyes. There was no blame in its eyes, only nostalgia. I hugged it and stroked its fur all the time. I wanted to cry but couldn’t cry. Finally, its pupils dilated and no longer I lost consciousness. After my uncle sent me home that day, I didn’t say a word. For a whole year, I saw Xiao Tuan dying every day. Its hair was messy and sparse, its body was full of bones, and even Welt marks. My parents panicked and even took me to a psychiatrist everywhere. But I still didn’t speak, because this was my punishment for myself. I punished myself for being weak and incompetent, and let Xiaotuan suffer those tortures. Since then I just told myself that I must be self-reliant, strong, and protect what I want to protect. Maybe it’s because I’m naturally cold. Since then, I really can’t treat my parents like ordinary father and son. Intimacy."

Shen Shengnian's story ended here.

Qin Hongyan listened quietly, and suddenly felt an uncomfortable suffocation in the car.She opened the car window and let the tidal river wind blow their hair away.

At this moment, she finally understood him.

The loneliness and helplessness in her childhood made her connect with him.

She understands his pain and his grief.

They are of the same kind, and they can understand each other's kind without extra words.

Qin Hongyan didn't know how to comfort others, facing Shen Shengnian's confession, she only said one sentence: "I'm hungry, didn't you say you wanted to eat Korean barbecue last time, let's go."

After that time, Qin Hongyan never persuaded Shen Shengnian to move out of her downstairs.Both of them, she thought, were lonely people who needed each other's company.

In fact, being neighbors with Shen Shengnian is not a bad thing.

As a creature with a high IQ, Shen Shengnian is rare and has strong hands-on skills. He can cook dishes comparable to chefs just by looking at the recipes.

Every day when she came home from get off work, Qin Hongyan would go to his house for dinner.

She likes sweet dishes: Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, honey sauce chicken wings, double-cooked fish fillets.And what Shen Shengnian made each time was to his own taste.

To say it was a coincidence would be too far-fetched.

Qin Hongyan was really curious once, so she asked this question.

Shen Shengnian said: "Every time I make a big table of dishes, I pay special attention to which one you like the most, and then write it down. Slowly, you will know your taste."

Qin Hongyan thought that his behavior was not just careful, but deliberate.

Being neighbors with Shen Shengnian, Qin Hongyan felt that not only was she full of food, but she could also get help at all times.

Except for the elevator, Shen Shengnian rescued Qin Hongyan again.

That night when she went into the bathroom, she accidentally fell down, sprained her ankle, and lay on the ground for half a day unable to stand up.Not long after, Shen Shengnian knocked on the door vigorously.She told him the password of her door lock through the mobile phone. After entering, Shen Shengnian immediately helped her up, carried her to the sofa, and went home to get the safflower oil to apply on her injured ankle to help reduce the swelling.If it weren't for him, Qin Hongyan probably would have stayed in the cold and damp bathroom all night.

Afterwards, she asked him how he knew he was in danger. Shen Shengnian said that he didn't know why, but suddenly he felt something happened in her house, so he came up to check.

Qin Hongyan thought, maybe this is the induction between the same kind.

No matter what, she and Shen Shengnian got along peacefully.

Fate is really a wonderful thing, back then she avoided him as a snake and scorpion.But now, he gradually entered her life and became an important person to her.

Shen Shengnian is important to Qin Hongyan, but Xi Huan is indispensable to Qin Hongyan.

It was precisely this indispensable person who hadn't come to see her for several months.

Qin Hongyan missed Xi Huan, and understood the meaning of unforgettable in this longing. He was indeed engraved in her bones and engraved in her heart.Even if he has a girlfriend, even if he has a dissociated attitude towards him, she still misses him deeply and loves him.

Ever since she found out that Xi Huan's girlfriend is the son of the HG company's prince, whenever HG company has a party, Qin Hongyan will find an excuse to refuse to attend.

However, on the day of Fu Changbo's 70th birthday party, Shen Ang asked Qin Hongyan to accompany him to participate.After all, it is the birthday of the chairman of the company, and all the top management will be there.Qin Hongyan understood that she could not be an exception, so she agreed.

She was already mentally prepared, and quietly hid aside after she went, not watching or listening too much.

When Qin Hongyan dressed up and went downstairs to Shen Ang to pick her up, she found that there was another person in the car, Shen Shengnian.
