There was no need for Lin to say it day and night, and she didn't even turn on the car navigation, so Ji Shanhai drove her back to the dormitory familiarly.

Along the way, Lin kept his head low day and night, and he didn't dare to look at him.

"It's here. ”

Lin Tianye let out a soft "um" and lowered his head to unbuckle his seat belt.

The seat belt had not yet been unfastened, but her hand was held down by Ji Shanhai first.

"Day and night. ”

He saw the red nose and eyes of Lin Day and Night.

"Brother, thank you. She whispered.

Ji Shanhai's Adam's apple slid slightly and took a deep breath.

He looked her straight in the eye: "I was serious just now. ”

Lin Tianye's eyelashes fluttered rapidly.

"Lin day and night, I don't want to be a brother anymore, I want to be your boyfriend. ”

Her heart skipped a beat.

......

When Lin Tianye was twenty-two years old, Ji Shanhai was twenty-six years old.

This year, Lin graduated from university.

The work of her graduation project is Ji Shanhai, a chaotic background, he is a beam of light that tears through the darkness.

For the graduation exhibition of the Academy of Fine Arts, Lin Xiaonian also came, and he made a special trip from thousands of miles to come.

The years have polished away all her edges and graces, and the fine crow's feet have disturbed the contours of the peach blossom eyes, and she has changed from a girl who cares about life to an ordinary middle-aged woman from a small town, an ordinary mother who has been weathered.

Lin wore a black bachelor's gown day and night, and the drape was pink representing the liberal arts class, and art belonged to the literature class, so it was also pink.

The tassel on the hat swayed left and right with her movements, and she grabbed Lin Xiaonian's arm and pulled her to the painting that belonged to her.

Lin Xiaonian raised his head and looked up at this work of considerable size, and recognized at a glance who she was painting.

Since she participated in the art examination training, the old lady in the training class once praised her, this child is very accurate, and a few simple strokes can include all the expressions and characteristics of the characters.

Lin Xiaonian can't understand any art, she can only understand her daughter.

That sweet and proud look can't deceive people.

Lin Xiaonian listened quietly to Lin day and night telling her about the strange things that happened in school, on the surface he was silent, but in his heart he had turned over the river.

The scale of the graduation exhibition was not large, and it only took more than ten minutes to finish, and there was a person standing at the exit, standing tall and straight in the light, waving to them against the light.

Lin rushed over as if he was happy day and night, and because of Lin Xiaonian's presence, he suddenly slowed down his pace.

"Mr. Ji. She called him with a smile.

Lin Xiaonian patted her on the back: "Why is it not big or small, aren't you called 'brother'?"

Ji Shanhai smiled gently: "It's all called getting used to it." ”

He pulled two drinks out of the paper bag in his hand.

Lin Xiaonian is coffee, and Lin Tianye is excited to lift the lid and sniff it, brown sugar ginger tea.

She flattened her mouth, there was a little more complaint in her words, and her attitude was too intimate: "Why is it brown sugar ginger tea again, I want to drink cold on a hot day, I want to drink iced coffee, and fruit tea!"

Ji Shanhai raised his eyebrows slightly: "I dare to drink cold during the menstrual period, and I forgot the pain when the scar is healed, isn't it?"

Lin stuck out his tongue day and night, and resigned himself to holding the cup of brown sugar ginger tea and drinking it in small sips.

......

There are some things that can't be asked in person, but it's much easier over the phone.

Lin Xiaonian's family's economic conditions have improved a lot, but she still lives in the crowded low-rent apartment area.

There are not many photos in the room, some are framed, some are Polaroid clipped on a rope, and the photos are all the same person, Lin Tianye of different ages from childhood to adulthood, most of them were taken by Ji Shanhai.

Lin Xiaonian realized how many moments he had missed in his daughter's growth, and now that her conditions are better, she no longer needs to work several jobs a day, but Lin Tianye is also like a young bird from the nest, flying higher and farther towards a place far away from home.

When Lin Xiaonian is free, she will arrange the messy things she threw away in middle school for Lin day and night.

Mathematics papers in their sixties abounded, and compositions that were thrown away in a ball halfway through, and the corners and corners of the textbook were all masterpieces she had left behind, and a thick sketchbook was pressed into the bottom of the cardboard box.

Lin Xiaonian opened it and saw that hundreds of pages of drawing paper depicted the shadow of the same person.

It's Ji Shanhai.

Has it started since then?

No, maybe sooner.

Lin Xiaonian grabbed his mobile phone in a panic and broadcast it three times before dialing Lin Tianye's number.

The prompt of "doodoo" sounded three times, and the other side picked it up, and Lin Tianye's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, Mom?"

Lin Xiaonian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said word by word: "You and Ji Shanhai, you ......"

The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds, and Lin Tianye didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly confided with Pan: "Yes, we are together." ”

Lin Xiaonian's expression became a little complicated.

Although for some reason, Ji Shanhai doesn't seem to be aging at all, but it is still strange to see a man who was once a lot older than him suddenly become his daughter's boyfriend.

“...... Since when?"

Lin Tianye's excited voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone: "It's been four years." ”

It's been four years, which means that they started when Lin Tianye was eighteen years old, and it's okay.

Lin Xiaonian felt a little relieved, and then asked tentatively, "Then is he good for you?"

Almost as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that the question was nonsense.

How many years has Ji Shanhai been good to Lin Tian and Night, he washed her hands and soup, cut her bangs and bought clothes, and even when she had menarche, Ji Shanhai taught her how to use sanitary napkins through the door.

Not surprisingly, she heard Lin Tianye say to her on the phone: "It's very good." ”

"Mom, I like him a lot. ”

Lin Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, she couldn't tell whether it was because of loss or relaxation, she said again and again: "That's good, that's good......"

The small apartment is empty without Lin running around the house day and night.

The baby in the swaddling clothes cried and tossed so much that she couldn't close her eyes all night, as if it was just yesterday.

Lin Xiaonian wandered around the empty room, and finally stopped in front of the dressing mirror on the wardrobe door.

She dyed her hair black to see her daughter's graduation exhibition, and she couldn't see a single gray hair, she was only in her early forties, but she felt as if she was old.
