Chapter 6: Calm

Shen Duyan sat at the back of the bus to Xiuyu City, there was no one sitting next to her, she was very happy, she turned her head to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, the bus drove forward, the scenery on the side of the road was reversing rapidly, she was fascinated. The red marks on her wrists were extremely obvious, and she had no intention of caring about them, so it was good to escape, and not to meet him again.

Yueming City is more than three hours' drive from Xiuyu City, and if you drive yourself, you can be faster, and the bus will be slower when it bumps all the way.

Shen Duyan sat on the bus and felt that time passed unusually slowly, as if she was secretly tripped by someone. Her heart was very anxious, and she was in a hurry if she didn't return to Xiuyu City for a moment.

From time to time, she looked at her watch, looked out the window, and the bus stopped occasionally, and then someone came up, bustling, and the bus drove forward again.

She simply closed her eyes and closed her eyes to recuperate. She still felt her heart beating wildly in her chest, her hands trembling slightly, she pressed her hands under her thighs, and the soles of her feet seemed to be stepping on cotton.

Shen Duyan hoped that Su Yuanxiu would forget her, but this seemed to have become a luxury, he didn't forget her, although he said that he missed her, but she saw indifference and resentment in his eyes.

Shen Duyan didn't dare to think about it anymore, the road was bumpy, she finally returned to Xiuyu City, her feet stepped on the land of Xiuyu City, her heart finally returned to her chest, as if she had a nightmare, the person in the dream was too frightened, she didn't want to think about it again.

Shen Duyan bought a bottle of water at the convenience store and went back to the rental house. During the summer vacation, the school was already closed, so she didn't go back to Mingyue City, found a part-time job in a coffee shop, and rented a small single room in Xiuyu City to live.

She was waiting, waiting for Su Yuanxiu to forget her, it might take a long, long time, and she was willing to wait until that day.

Shen Duyan returned to the rental house, she was tired and lying on the bed, staring at the snow-white ceiling, a snow-white, she opened her eyes and saw it fascinatingly. Originally, she was going to work at the coffee shop today, but she took three days off because of Mary's wedding. She exhaled deeply, turned over, and her body was facing inward, she still didn't fall asleep, she couldn't help but think about Su Yuanxiu, and he became even crazier.

She simply got up, sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyes saw the half bottle of water, she took it, drank it "Gu Dong Gu Dong", and the empty water bottle, she screwed the lid on, and threw it into the trash.

Unable to sleep, she decided to go out for a walk and maybe calm down.

Before going out, she looked in the mirror at the wound on her forehead, it was already scabbed, she reached out and touched it, it was slightly raised, hoping that there would be no scar, she sighed, put down her hand, and turned around and went out the door.

The corridor was quiet, leaving only the sound of her walking alone, and she tried to walk quietly, but she still left a sound.

The road is full of people, this is a familiar city, and this is also an unfamiliar city.

She stopped by a part-time coffee shop. Little Pepper, a girl who works part-time, was pleasantly surprised to see her.

Pepper is a straight and gossipy girl, babbling, and a warm-hearted person. She saw that Shen Duyan was back, and there were no customers in the store at this time, so she pulled Shen Duyan aside to talk.

"Twilight, why did you come back all of a sudden?"

"You don't even know that I'm so bored by myself, and I don't have anyone to talk to. ”

"How's the wedding?

She asked a series of questions, Shen Duyan didn't know which one to answer, she shook Shen Duyan's hand all the way, and inadvertently saw the red marks on her hand.

"Oh my God, Twilight. What's wrong with your hand?"

She was taken aback, and the dine-in guests looked back at them from time to time.

"It's okay, I accidentally bumped into it. Shen Duyan withdrew his hand and hid behind him.

"You have to be careful. Pepper's eyes were full of concern for her.

"It's okay. Shen Duyan's heart is warm, the little pepper people are very good, they are from the same school, different majors.

"Is the wedding fun?" Pepper still couldn't forget the wedding, pushing her with her elbow, her eyes full of excitement.

"It's just a normal wedding. In fact, Shen Duyan didn't attend the wedding at all, she was at most present at the scene, "It's not fun, but the bride is pregnant." ”

"Pregnant?!" Xiao Pepper approached Shen Duyan as if she had discovered some big secret, "That's the one who gets on the bus first and pays the ticket later." ”

Shen Duyan smiled and patted her with his hand, Little Pepper's mouth. Indeed, she didn't expect that Ma Li was pregnant out of wedlock, but when she thought about it, this is normal for modern society. Maybe she can't talk about it on WeChat.

"Then why did you come back? Didn't you take three days off?" Pepper smiled so badly.

"Didn't I miss you? Shen Duyan winked at her.

"What's the matter?" Pepper will dig to the bottom of the matter.

"There was an accident. Shen Duyan's eyes dimmed.

"What accident?" Pepper leaned in close to her, expecting her to follow.

"Met people I didn't want to meet. Shen Duyan sighed, his face pale at that moment.

Pepper is a very measured person. "Oh, let's have a cup of water! I don't need money!" Pepper handed a cup of latte to Shen Duyan.

Employees of the coffee shop can drink the in-store drinks for free, which is also an employee benefit.

"It's not what you think!" Shen Duyan took the coffee, crying and laughing, it was obvious that the little pepper brain was crooked.

"I know, I know, the bride is not you. Pepper patted her, comforted her, and put on a sad face.

"I don't think so. Shen Duyan's eyes returned to their former brilliance, to be honest, she didn't know who the groom was.

Little Pepper still looked at Shen Duyan with a sad face. Shen Duyan was furious by that look, and slipped away with an excuse.

Shen Duyan took a sip of coffee and talked to Little Pepper, and his mood calmed down a little. She walked to the small park near the rental house, hoping to take a break and maybe get back to her old peace.

She took her coffee and walked slowly into the small park. The small park is free to develop, and nearby residents like to come here for a stroll and chat.

In the distance, a few elderly uncles gathered together to play chess, and scolded a few words in a low voice from time to time, while the aunts were dancing square dances, and the little fans danced so smoothly. Young people gather in twos and threes to chat and have fun.

Shen Duyan also slowly blended into it, she walked slowly, feeling the happiness and peace of others, and slowly calming her heart.

She walked for a while, and the small park was filled with laughter, as if the joy of the city had gathered here at all its moment.

She saw an uncle practicing calligraphy on a stone table, one person occupied a table, the writing was really good-looking, she came closer to take a closer look, and saw that the uncle wrote a small letter.

The uncle wrote very attentively, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these passing bystanders.

Shen Duyan also watched attentively, and a little couple passing by also stopped to watch, the little couples of this age are all noisy, and they don't care whether others are happy or not, so they are making a little noise on the side. Shen Duyan glanced at them, and they also glanced at Shen Duyan, and showed affection again.

Shen Duyan saw them hugging each other, his face was full of youthful joy, and he couldn't say anything, just pretended not to see it, and turned his head to continue to watch the uncle write Xiaokai.

Xu is little couple was bored, so the two played and walked away.

Without the two of them, it was finally a little cleaner, Shen Duyan was fascinated, and looked at those words carefully with her eyes, she looked at them carefully, as if she had also entered the uncle's state of mind, such as horizontal quiet.

After writing for a while, the uncle finished writing several pieces of rice paper, and estimated that he had practiced enough, he looked up and saw Shen Duyan on the side. At that time, Shen Duyan was fascinated, she looked at them one by one, and copied them over and over again in her heart.

Only Shen Duyan was left around, and the others had already finished reading it and left, and the rest of Shen Duyan, an idle person, was still sticking to the side.

"Little girl. The uncle called her.

"Huh?" Shen Duyan woke up like a dream.

"Little girl, drink less of those foreigners' stuff. The uncle glanced at the coffee cup in her hand, and when she opened her mouth, she showed a gold tooth, shining with gold.

"Uncle, I drink occasionally. Shen Duyan followed the uncle's eyes and glanced at the coffee in his hand.

"Little girl, uncle, I have been writing for so long, you have been drinking for so long, uncle, I am also thirsty, should you be filial to your uncle?"

"Huh?" Shen Duyan thought he had misheard, and didn't react for a while.

"Little girl, why are you so stingy, uncle, I don't buy water to drink when I'm thirsty, young people now!" Seeing that Shen Duyan didn't react, the uncle shook his head and sighed as he picked up the rice paper.

"Alas, uncle, I'll buy you some mineral water, you wait and I'll buy it now. Shen Duyan's face flushed, she was really embarrassed, she looked at the uncle's Xiaokai for so long.

"Little girl, uncle, I don't like to drink mineral water. Uncle smiled, the gold tooth shining more and more, "Uncle I want to drink lemon tea, oh, it's the one in the young man's hand." ”

Shen Duyan followed the uncle's eyes, and the person passing by was holding a cup of lemon tea in his hand, and the half yellow lemon was floating in the cup. She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at her uncle to confirm.

"Little girl, go quickly. The uncle urged her to hurry up and buy lemon tea.

"Then uncle, you wait a while, I'll come back when I go. Shen Duyan was ordered to buy lemon tea.

"Little girl, you want less ice and less sugar!" the uncle's voice came from afar, instructing Shen Duyan.

"Got it, uncle. Shen Duyan quickened his pace.

"Little girl, do you know that uncle?" an aunt suddenly approached Shen Duyan.

"Huh?" Shen Duyan looked at her aunt blankly.

"Little girl, listen to Auntie's advice, don't get too close to that uncle, he is so fierce that he will not move a table by himself. The aunt whispered to Shen Duyan, and glanced at the uncle again. Seeing that the uncle glanced over here, the aunt hurriedly walked away.

Shen Duyan couldn't cry or laugh a little, and she couldn't imagine that the small park also had hidden grievances.

Shen Duyan quickly bought lemon tea and came back. She carried lemon tea, thinking as she walked, Uncle is really catching up with the trend, not drinking mineral water, but drinking lemon tea, less ice and less sugar.

When Shen Duyan handed the lemon tea to the uncle, the uncle took the lemon tea, poked the straw, took a sip, and then sat aside.

"Little girl, you don't have anything to do, do you?" the uncle looked at Shen Duyan while sipping lemon tea.

"No, I want to visit the little park. Shen Duyan told truthfully.

"Little girl, you see that Uncle I am old, and my legs and feet are inconvenient, or you can help Uncle pour the water from the pen washing bucket. "Uncle sucked lemon tea while hammering his legs.

Shen Duyan is a good child who respects the old and loves the young. "I'm going to pour water for you right now. Shen Duyan took the bucket to the bathroom in the small park and poured water, and then rinsed the bucket with tap water before bringing it back.

"Little girl, this rice paper... "Uncle sucks lemon tea.

"Uncle, I'll clean it up. Shen Duyan immediately helped the uncle clean up the rice paper, cleaned up what he had written, cleaned up what he hadn't written, put him in a bag and sealed it, and the brush was also wiped dry and put into the cloth roll.

The uncle was satisfied with the view, "Little girl, I see that you like those little letters very much, so I'll give you these few photos." The uncle casually smoked a few small block letters for Shen Duyan.

"Thank you, uncle. Shen Duyan happily took Xiaokai, she saw a small seal on the rice paper, she couldn't see it clearly, and she didn't know what the words were.

"The little girl is a good boy. The uncle carried the bucket, and in the bucket put his bits and pieces, drank lemon tea, and walked away.

Shen Duyan looked at those small Kai and was fascinated, and his attention was all on the words, this Xiao Kai was really beautifully written, virtual and simple, beautiful and elegant, comparable to art. As for when the uncle left, she didn't know at all.

She happily held the rice paper, walked all the way out of the small park, and loved her like a baby.

Shen Duyan looked up and saw the lemon tea in the hands of passers-by, she was very surprised that the uncle also drank lemon tea, how do you say that sentence, your uncle will always be your uncle.

Whatever! Shen Duyan glanced at the rice paper in his hand, his eyes full of joy.
