He became normal, she was the one who needed to adapt.
Gong Ou has no problem.
Yes, there's nothing wrong with him.
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to pick flowers." Shi Xiaonian sat up from the bed and regained some energy.
At noon, Shi Xiaonian went to make an appointment.
It was Mona who asked her out.
When Shi Xiaonian rushed to the cafe, Mona was already waiting in the small box on the second floor. She was wearing a Milanese haute couture with delicate makeup and a women's menthol cigarette between her fingertips. She was puffing out the smell of smoke from her red lips. Her movements are so charming.
After four years of not seeing each other, every old person appears with changes.
Looking at her, Shi Xiaonian suddenly remembered the first time he saw the photo of Mona, which was very different from the woman in front of him.
"sit."
Mona put out the cigarette in her hand and motioned for Shi Xiaonian to take a seat.
"Is there anything wrong with you coming out to me?" Shi Xiaonian asked calmly, sitting down opposite Mona.
"Aren't you curious why I appeared in S City?"
Mona sat there, with a proud curve on her lips.
"Curious, I thought you were busy with the wedding ceremony now and wouldn't have time to come to S City." Shi Xiaonian said calmly, reaching out to pick up the cup on the table, "By the way, congratulations, happy wedding, that man looks at It looks good.”
After four years of not seeing each other, I still have some high-sounding words to say.
"It's far worse than Gong Ou, isn't it?" Mona sneered.
"I didn't say that."
Shi Xiaonian said.
"When I went on a blind date with that man for the first time, I thought he looked very wretched, not one ten thousandth as good as Gong Ou, especially when I came home and saw Gong Ou with impeccable appearance. "Mona picked up the cup in her hand, rubbing the edge of the cup with her red nails, and her voice was mature and charming.
"Can I see Gong Ou when I get home?"
Shi Xiaonian asked calmly.
Mona looked at her, her eyelashes slightly raised, "Xi Xiaonian, you are becoming more and more calm now. Tsk, it's really difficult to do. I still want to see your heartbroken expression."
After hearing such big news, she acted so calmly.
"In the past four years, Gong Ou has been with you?" Shi Xiaonian was not surprised. She vaguely connected these things together, "Did you cure his disease?"
"Yeah, am I strong?"
Mona asked, her eyes seductive, a bit like she was begging for compliments.
Shi Xiaonian smiled slightly, "So, your relationship with that American man is also fake. It is to paralyze me and stop me from looking for Gong Ou's whereabouts on you."
It was extremely quiet in the cafe's private room.
There was no sound.
There is still a trace of smoke from the extinguished cigarette floating out, slowly rising upwards.
"You are thinking too much. Falling in love is real. Why do you think I still want to be with Gong Ou?" Mona's eyes were cold and disdainful, "I am the eldest lady of Lancaster. As proud as I am, no matter how good Gong Ou is, he once humiliated me so much, and I don’t want it anymore.”
She had her dignity, and Lancaster had Lancaster's dignity.
“…”
Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed across Shi Xiaonian's eyes.
She thought Mona was here to challenge her and demonstrate.
"Did Gong Ou tell you that he came to me for treatment?" Mona said.
Shi Xiaonian's eyes stagnated. Did Gong Ou leave on his own
Did he take the initiative to seek medical treatment from Mona
Why didn't you tell her why you left quietly
"It seems you don't know yet." Mona took a sip of coffee from the cup and continued, "He came to me. I hesitated for a day and then agreed."
"accepted?"
Shi Xiaonian repeated her words.
"Because I think I have no reason not to agree." Mona laughed, "I once persuaded him to seek medical treatment, but he refused, saying that no one could make him lose his love for you. But he came to ask for help himself. , I really want to see what Gong Ou will look like after returning to normal, and whether he will still love you as much as before and hold you in the palm of his hand."
Shi Xiaonian touched the cup in his hand, with a calm expression on his face, "Thank you for curing Gong Ou. This is what I have always wished for."
"Don't thank me, I just want to watch your show."
Mona said mockingly, with a hint of revenge in her eyes.
"Then I'm sorry because you can't see it."
Shi Xiaonian smiled softly and looked at Mona with clear black and white eyes.
After all these years, she is no longer the easily intimidated person.
Mona couldn't see the expression she wanted on her face, and couldn't help frowning, feeling a little bored, "Don't be so absolute, I have been with Gong Ou for the past four years, what kind of person is he now?" I know better than you. Just slowly discover his changes."
After saying that, Mona stood up, picked up her bag and left.
Shi Xiaonian was sitting there. As soon as Mona left, the smile on her face slowly stiffened.
Gong Ou spent four years to treat his illness. Why not give her some news? She can stay with him, right? Why should she wait alone for four years
Shi Xiaonian picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.
This coffee smelled so good, but it was so bitter that it was hard to swallow.
…
Gong Ou said that he would come to have dinner with her in the evening.
But this wait lasted until late at night.
The twins couldn't hold back their sleepiness and fell asleep again. Shi Xiaonian sat alone at the table in the gallery. Looking up, the NE Building was brightly lit.
He is very busy now, and she can't help with NE matters, so she can only wait.
When Xiao Nian lowered his eyes, there were several blooming flowers floating in the small glass water tank on the table, which the twins had picked out today.
After picking flowers in the afternoon, Gong Kui lost interest in playing. She rushed back and waited, hugging the small water tank and not letting go. Her face went from sunny to discouraged. She waited until she fell asleep, but Gong Ou didn't show up.
After becoming a normal person, Gong Ou also became more ambitious in his career.
Shi Xiaonian sat at the table and waited. She was gradually getting tired, her eyes were heavy, and she almost fell asleep with a hand on her face.
There was a sound of opening the door.
"Miyao, are you here?"
Shi Xiaonian was overjoyed, opened his eyes and stood up. When he saw the person coming, there was disappointment in his eyes.
Not Gong Ou.
Just a regular visitor to the gallery.
"Teacher Xi, it seems that my arrival has disappointed you." The young boy stood at the door and touched his nose awkwardly.
"Qingfeng? Why did you come here so late?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in astonishment.
Xiang Qingfeng, a graduate student at the Academy of Fine Arts, is a few years younger than her. As his name suggests, he is young and cheerful, with short hair and eyes, as handsome as a ray of breeze.
Ever since I walked into her gallery one time, I admired her so much that I kept calling her teacher and asking her to teach her some painting skills.
As soon as Shi Xiaonian pointed out a few words, he wanted to pay the tuition. When Shi Xiaonian didn't ask for it, he kept buying her paintings. She saw that he was well-dressed and should be a rich second generation, so she let him buy it after refusing it several times.
"I've been bored to death by a subject recently." Xiang Qingfeng complained as he walked in, pulled up a chair and sat down in a familiar manner.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian smiled and said, "I haven't gone to graduate school, so I can't help you with your subjects."
"Can I draw here without your help?" Xiang Qingfeng looked at her and said, clasping his hands together, "Please, only when you are here can I feel calmer."
The biggest taboo for those who learn to paint is that they feel unbalanced and irritable.
Shi Xiaonian reluctantly agreed, "Okay, but I'll have something to do later. How about you draw until I go out?"
"Okay, okay."
Xiang Qingfeng nodded repeatedly, moved the easel in a familiar manner and started painting.
When Feng De accompanied Gong Ou across the street to the gallery, he saw a young boy sitting in front of an easel painting in a brightly lit store. His eyes secretly glanced at Shi Xiaonian who was reading a book aside. Mu's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Feng De's heart tightened and he subconsciously looked at Gong Ou.
Gong Ou stood there upright, with one hand in his trouser pocket, and a pair of black eyes looking inside coldly.
The light outside was dark, and there were two more people outside.
Seeing this, Feng De hurriedly said, "Master, that is a graduate student from the Academy of Fine Arts. His name is Xiang Qingfeng, and he is a regular customer of the gallery."
"Is it?"
Gong Ou responded indifferently.
Inside the glass door, the young boy suddenly said something. While he was reading, Xiaonian walked over and stood beside him, looking at the paintings on the easel and saying something. As he spoke, he pointed with his hands and moved closer to him. .
Xiang Qingfeng sat there with a blush on his face. He pretended to be casual and moved his head closer to her, almost hiding in her arms.
"Master, I will drive him out now."
Feng De said immediately.
Gong Ou turned to look at him coldly, "Go and open the door."
"Yes, Master."
Feng De looked at Gong Ou's eyes, shuddered, and stepped forward to open the door.
"Look here, you have left too much blank space, and it has no charm. You are a graduate student, how could you make such a small mistake?"
Shi Xiaonian stood beside Xiang Qingfeng and said. Suddenly she heard a sound. She raised her eyes and saw Feng De opening the door and standing respectfully. Gong Ou walked in from the outside and glanced at Shi Xiaonian with his black eyes.
Shi Xiaonian looked tired and yawned involuntarily.
Gong Ou glanced down at his watch and frowned, "It's so late again. I didn't pay attention to the time. Have you been waiting?"
"It's nothing, I usually have to look after the store anyway." Shi Xiaonian said while rubbing his eyes.
Gong Ou stood there, his eyes falling on Xiang Qingfeng.
Xiang Qingfeng naturally recognized Gong Ou. He stood up awkwardly and looked at Gong Ou nervously, not knowing how to say hello.
Gong Ou's eyes were a little gloomy.
When Shi Xiaonian thought about what happened in the past, she became a little scared, and hurriedly said to Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, my fiancé is here, you should go back first."
"Oh, okay, Teacher Xi."
Hearing her address her fiancé, Xiang Qingfeng's eyes flashed with sadness, she nodded towards Gong Ou and walked towards the door.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou's cold face, her eyelashes trembled, "That's a student from the Academy of Fine Arts. He comes here to paint occasionally."
She remembered how jealous Gong Ou was.
"Why are you panicking?" Gong Ou's thin lips curled up in a careless arc, and he glanced disdainfully at Xiang Qingfeng at the door, "I'm not going to be jealous of a young boy." (To be continued)
