The mirror was slowly pushed over, reflecting a ray of light in the dim environment. Cheng Meiyan changed into the new coat that the store manager had just brought and shared her views on the clothes with her.
Lu Shizhen had not yet come out of the inner dressing room, and no one noticed what was happening on the sofa.
Lying on the edge of her skirt, Yuanzi separated the two people sitting on the sofa. Xu Shiyue just looked at Lu Shien with a calm gaze, still looking as cold and aloof as usual.
In fact, Xu Shiyue originally didn't want to pay attention to what Lu Shien said.
The girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, had simple ideas and thought she was smart, but her hints were so obvious that anyone could see through her at a glance.
This also included the time when she and Lu Shizhen came out together, and Lu Shien quickly came over to separate them.
In this way, she declared her sovereignty over Lu Shizhen in a simple and childish way, wanting to monopolize her.
This approach is often the least deterrent.
But just because of these two sentences, that indescribable feeling surged up and blocked Xu Shiyue's heart once again.
Waves surged up from the calm sea, as if a mermaid from the deep sea had sat on the rocks. The enchanting singing came into people's ears along with the sound of the waves, over and over again, instigating people to retaliate.
Same childish approach.
So Xu Shiyue spoke for the second time after Lu Shien finished showing off to her secretly.
When Lu Shien heard Xu Shiyue's words, he felt like he had been hit hard. He turned his head sharply to look at Xu Shiyue and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense here!"
She didn't want Cheng Meiyan, her parent, to know about this, so she lowered her voice and spoke incoherently, "Don't think that you just... My sister just sent you a skirt, so I have to believe everything you say. My sister won't tie the belt for you!"
Xu Shiyue was much calmer than Lu Shien, and her voice didn't change much: "Because she hasn't done it to you, you think she won't do it, right?"
Lu Shien was hit in the vital spot again, and he opened his mouth but was speechless.
If it was someone else, she would definitely not believe it, but this person happened to be Xu Shiyue. She could see that her sister was indeed particularly attentive to her. She refused to face it, but had to. The little girl's red eyes were filled with loneliness.
The waiter placed the newly served dessert on the table. The slightly cool cake was brought out to be sweet by the hot coffee steam.
Xu Shiyue looked at the little girl next to her who was biting to vent her anger, and took a sip of coffee. The warm, mellow and bitter taste spread on her tongue, accumulating into a kind of pleasure.
But in the next second, it suddenly disappeared.
It was as if the mermaid's charm had lost its effect, and Xu Shiyue felt that his pleasure came out of nowhere.
She shouldn't be like this.
Why did she have to argue with Lu Shien about this
Obviously this is just a trivial matter.
At this moment, the sound of high heels hitting the ground was faintly heard from the corridor.
The black skirt dragged on the ground, with a layer of flowing light, as if there were stars underneath.
Lu Shizhen had never worn such clothes before, and the shoes on her feet made her feel like she was a little mermaid.
It's not that the shoes hurt my feet, but after my feet arched, I suddenly had trouble walking.
Qiuqiu was encouraging Lu Shizhen in her mind, and Lu Shizhen walked extremely carefully and slowly along the way.
Finally, she walked to the lounge with trepidation, and came to Cheng Meiyan with some restraint: "Mom."
The dim light spreads across the lounge, hiding many unnoticed details.
Except for the smile on Cheng Meiyan's face.
She just looked at Lu Shizhen, as outgoing as ever, praising her generously: "Oh, my eyes are really right, she is beautiful, so beautiful."
Cheng Meiyan was wearing the seasonal suit that the store manager had just given her. The clothes were exquisite and made with great care, and they were gorgeous and full of distance.
But as she said this, she raised her hand, and her bony fingers passed over the loose hair hanging from Lu Shizhen's temples, gently and carefully helping her tidy up this unruly hair.
Then it stopped on Lu Shizhen's face.
"It's great that our Zhenzhen has grown up to be a great girl.
"She's a girl." Cheng Meiyan looked at her daughter carefully, with some relief in her eyes.
The soft fingertips were pressed against Lu Shizhen's cheek. This was the first time she felt the tenderness from her mother.
This was a completely unfamiliar world for her and was just a temporary stopover.
"Wow, sister, you are so beautiful. This skirt suits you so well."
In just a moment of distraction, Lu Shien ran over.
She just stood beside Lu Shizhen, tiptoed slightly, and asked curiously: "Are you wearing high heels inside? Why do you feel taller?"
"Yeah." Lu Shizhen came back to his senses immediately and raised his hand to gesture, "This high, it should be about five or six centimeters."
Lu Shien was a little indifferent: "That's okay, it's worth it for beauty."
Lu Shizhen smiled, looked at the family members standing beside her, and noticed that Xu Shiyue did not come over.
The girl sat upright on the sofa, calmly stroking the dog beside her.
Talking and chatting not far away seemed like another world to her.
In order to match the atmosphere, the lighting in the lounge was not as bright as that in the locker room, so Xu Shiyue's vision was obstructed.
She just looked at the flashing black color in her sight, with the light pink overlapping on top.
The sound of conversation and praises intertwined in Xu Shiyue's ears. Her brain combined the style of the dress in her memory and barely painted out what the dress would look like on Lu Shizhen.
Light? Gorgeous
Or should I be as simple and restrained as myself
No one described it to Xu Shiyue, and she didn't know what kind of skirt it was.
The sound of a cell phone taking a photo rang out in the lounge. Xu Shiyue looked at the blurred square being held up and knew that Lu Shien was pulling Lu Shizhen to take a photo.
She has a pair of very healthy eyes and can stand next to Lu Shizhen at will.
The naughty laughter of a little girl came from not far away, and Xu Shiyue narrowed his eyes slightly.
Those dark eyes dimmed in the darkness. Without the siren's song, the waves on the sea were only surging.
Just as the next wave was about to hit, the dog's tail suddenly started wagging, suddenly disrupting this feeling.
Xu Shiyue felt the sofa beside her suddenly sink, and then the scent of roses fell on the sofa.
Lu Shizhen put his hand on Yuanzi and said to Lu Shien who was holding the phone, "I want to take a picture with Yuanzi too."
Xu Shiyue was suddenly enlightened when she heard this, and she tactfully pulled up her skirt so as not to disturb or spoil the scene that Lu Shizhen wanted.
But she didn't expect that her skirt would be spread out more beautifully the next second, and she heard that person's rude and bright voice again.
She said, "Smile, Xu Shiyue."
Lu Shizhen noticed Xu Shiyue from the beginning, and noticed that she was forced to stay away from this joy because she was blind.
She knew that Xu Shiyue might not like this kind of noisy joy, but she didn't want to take the initiative to expel her before she could participate in this joy, just like she had done in the past.
She just can't see it, not that she can't feel it.
A light from one side fell in the direction of the girl's line of sight, and her eyes were dark and shining.
Xu Shiyue heard the sound of the shutter being clicked and the sound of her heart skipping a beat.
Boom.
Boom.
.
After trying on clothes for a day, Cheng Meiyan bought several bags of casual clothes and shoes for her three children, then waved goodbye and went home.
When Lu Shizhen first tried on clothes, she would secretly look at the price tags and weigh the money. But after she found that she couldn't count all the zeros for the third time, she gave up.
It was almost evening when I got home, and the setting sun covered the windshield of the car.
Cheng Meiyan got out of the car and as soon as she entered the villa, she saw several servants hanging paintings on the background wall of the living room, and Aunt Sun was giving them instructions.
She was a little curious, admiring this realistic oil painting which was more beautiful than the dusk outside the window, and asked, "Who painted this? It's quite beautiful."
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "Madam, this is a painting by our young lady. She brought it back from school a few days ago.
Come, the picture framer just delivered it today."
"Zhenzhen." Cheng Meiyan was a little surprised, but also a little proud. "I think our Zhenzhen has artistic talent. Her paintings can even be included in art exhibitions."
Lu Shizhen always read other people's messages to her on the Internet, but this was the first time she actually heard a voice message of praise.
She was changing her shoes in the back like this, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment: "Mom, you are exaggerating."
Aunt Sun disagreed: "No, I think what Madam said is very true."
When Lu Shien heard the conversation, he quickly changed his shoes and ran to Lu Shizhen's painting.
She seemed to be full of admiration for her sister forever. She just looked at her sister and turned to ask, "What a beautiful sunset. Sister, please draw a picture for me too."
"Ah?" This request came suddenly, and Lu Shizhen couldn't help but be stunned.
"Draw a picture for me, sister. I also want a beautiful painting like this." No one doesn't like beautiful things, and Lu Shien is even more so. Especially since the person who created this beautiful picture is her sister, she wants it very much.
The wind blew in from the open door, ruffling Xu Shiyue's long hair which was still at the entrance.
The girl's movements of changing shoes slowed down inexplicably until she heard Lu Shizhen reply, "It's not impossible."
It’s not like Lu Shizhen had never drawn pictures for others in the original world, and he would even take on drawings to earn some money.
She looked at Lu Shien who was looking at her with longing eyes, and couldn't help but think about the ideological education of this little girl. She took this opportunity to say, "As long as you promise me to study hard and don't think about those things, I can draw for you."
"I promise, sister!" Lu Shien agreed readily, and then asked, "But sister, you have to promise that the painting you draw for me will be as exquisite as yours, and I also want the little pigeon perched on the tree over there!"
The little girl's voice was as capricious as ever, and her eyes were bright with joy and excitement.
Xu Shiyue listened silently at the side, and the sound of the wind brought her Lu Shizhen's chuckle.
Somewhat helpless, yet somewhat proud.
She had never heard the sound at all.
"You have sharp eyes, little guy." Lu Shizhen looked at the pigeons hiding in the treetops, feeling proud that her hidden highlights were discovered by others, "My painting is not bad, right?"
"Of course!" Lu Shien nodded and praised her unconditionally. "Sister's painting is super beautiful, the colors are beautiful, and the composition is perfect! I have never seen anyone who can use complementary colors as beautifully as sister!"
The wind suddenly died down, leaving only a hint of autumn coolness beside the girl's ears.
The small light from the entrance hall fell on her eyes, which were slightly gray and looked a little empty.
Xu Shiyue listened to the conversation between Lu Shien and Lu Shizhen. The hanging oil painting in her sight was like the black skirt in the shopping mall, blurry and unclear in her vision.
The surging sea water splashed on the dry soil, and after days and months, it finally seeped into the seeds buried deep in the soil.
The solid soil barrier broke open a crack, making a subtle but deafening sound, and the tender green buds broke through the soil barrier and stretched out their leaves in the barren land.
Xu Shiyue suddenly felt an emotion called "jealousy".
Whether they are members of the school club or the Lu family.
She was so jealous of these people, jealous that they could see Lu Shizhen painting on canvas.
