Man in this life

Neither as bad as thought

It's not as good as it seems

Maupassant – "A Life"

When Wang Jing, who was holding Si Qi and was confused, heard this, he immediately let go of his hand, waved at them with a serious face, and then entered the kindergarten without looking back, leaving only a back full of rejection.

Mo Wenlan: "......" is about to break through the sky.

He leaned on the steering wheel, stared at Wang Jing's back, was silent, but still couldn't hold back: "Teacher Si, why does Teacher Wang hate me so much?"

Si Qi was actually confused, Wang Jing was actually a very warm and kind little girl, it was rare to see her hate a person so much, and she behaved so calmly and truthfully, it was indeed a bit strange, but at this time, she had to help her friend stand, so she just pinched her nose and coaxed her eyes, and insincerely denied it: "She won't hate others at will, let alone someone she doesn't know, Mr. Mo may have some illusion." ”

"Illusion?" Mo Wenlan recalled these two words, smiled, turned his head to look at her, and asked with a smile: "The relationship between Teacher Si and Teacher Wang must be very good." ”

Si Qi replied quietly: "We have worked together for three years and have the same class, so the relationship is naturally very good." ”

It's a defensive answer, one has nothing to say, and it's even more invulnerable.

After Mo Wenlan was silent for a moment, he laughed to himself again, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Maybe it's really my delusion!"

Si Qi smiled, but stopped talking.

When they arrived at the villa, Shi Jing happened to come down from the second floor, and he saw that Mo Wenlan was carrying a gift box in his hand, and he couldn't help but be stunned, this didn't look like a move, but like a business trip.

Mo Wenlan said: "Teacher Si's daily necessities, you go back and help her prepare a copy, which is probably the clothes she usually needs to wear." ”

Si Qi led Si Xiaojun and followed behind, and hurriedly said, "I'll just go back and buy it myself, don't bother." ”

"What's the trouble with this. Mo Wenlan said while going upstairs: "You usually have to go to class, where do you have the effort to buy it and send it over, President Shi is almost inseparable from the unemployed vagrant anyway, and this little thing will be handed over to him, which can be regarded as his sincerity." ”

Shi Jing stood straight at the top of the stairs, leaning against the wall, twisting his pants with both hands, his eyes quickly crossed Si Qi's face, and then fell on Si Xiaojun, and whispered: "I, I... I'll do it..."

Mo Wenlan stood at the corner of the stairs and looked at Shi Jing condescendingly: "Where is the gift box?"

Shi Jing hurriedly followed and led him upstairs in a hurry.

Si Qi stood at the door and looked at Si Xiaojun.

"Mommy, are we really going to move to Dad's big house in the future?" Si Xiaojun shook her hand and asked with a small face.

Si Qi shook his head with a smile: "It's too far from the kindergarten here, it's not very convenient, we only need to come and live on Saturdays and weekends, and we usually live at home." ”

Si Xiaojun sighed like a little adult, and asked again: "Will this also be my home in the future?"

Si Qi: "......"

It's not easy for children to fool around now.

She was speechless for a moment before nodding very slowly: "Well, yes, this will also be your home in the future." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Si Xiaojun suddenly let go of her hand and ran up the stairs on his feet, and the little short legs ran quite fast.

"Hey, Xiaojun, what are you doing up there?" Si Qi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wanted to follow.

Si Xiaojun turned his head as he ran: "I'll go up to see Dad." ”

Si Qi seemed to have been immobilized and immediately stopped, but it turned out that in such an instant, Si Xiaojun had already gone upstairs and ran away.

Si Qi: "......"

Upstairs, sometimes Jing and the peacock should be enough to deal with Si Xiaojun, and Si Xiaojun is very well-behaved, basically he won't ask some strange questions, even if they stay together, there won't be any big mess, self-comforting for a while, Si Qi suddenly felt that his bladder seemed to be brushing a little bit of existence, thinking about it, he still went to the bathroom.

"I didn't expect you to be willing to take out this room to make a show. Mo Wenlan put his hands on the stool, leaned on the door frame, his eyes fell on the big wardrobe next to the top, and the side still retained the back of the person who Shi Jing carved out with a knife at some point, the original back was just a few lines simply outlined, which looked very weird, and then he added a few strokes to it, and it became like this.

The back in front gradually melted into the darkness, and a little girl in a short skirt in the back ran to catch up, stepping on the blooming flowers under her feet, which instantly changed the artistic conception of the whole painting, for some reason, Shi Jing didn't cut him off.

He had been to this room seven years ago, and it was empty, with only a black bed, a black wardrobe, a black sofa, a black desk, and airtight black windows and curtains that blocked out the sun and light... There are also paintings full of thick and colorful walls, and when you open the door, you will be depressed, suffocated, cold and gloomy, and even people with excellent psychological quality will feel uncomfortable in it.

He once tried to persuade Shi Jing, but in vain, and then probably didn't want him to worry about it anymore, Shi Jing simply locked the doors of all the rooms on the second floor, leaving only the bedroom and bathroom where he lived.

For this reason, he also regretted that the things here in a sense represent the real Shi Jing and the world he lives in, and he closed these doors, which is equivalent to closing the door to his own world, and from then on, it will be difficult for outsiders to peep into his heart and his world.

In the past seven years, it has been even more difficult for him to enter this room again.

So at the dinner table, he made a big gamble and proposed, asking Shi Jing to take out the master bedroom as the room where he and Si Qi would pretend to live together in the future, he was gambling, betting on the importance of cooperating with Si Qi in Shi Jing's heart, and betting on Si Qi's influence on Shi Jing, but he didn't expect him to win the bet, Shi Jing really agreed to open this room that he had sealed for seven years, what does this mean?

At the beginning, introducing Si Qi and Shi Jing to pretend to be a couple was his sister Mo Wenqing's proposal, he met Shi Jing when he was fifteen years old when he entered high school, the two met because of playing basketball, and in the second half of high school, he transferred to the provincial capital, and then heard about the sudden change, and since then he has lost contact with Shi Jing, until he opened his own psychological counseling room after graduating from college, and only contacted him through Shi Jing's parents.

He has always been conceited and arrogant, and Ziyi has no psychological problems that he can't handle, but Shi Jing is the only insurmountable peak in his life, he did not hesitate to transfer the consultation room to others for this reason, became Shi Jing's agent, gave up school and business, but after more than ten years of hard work, he failed to completely pull Shi Jing out of his own world, he was unwilling and refused to give up, so he took advantage of Shi Junhan's illness to give Shi Jing a dose of fierce medicine, so that he would look at his father's serious illness no matter what, and find someone to pretend to be a couple to reassure his parents.

After soaking for a long time, Shi Jing finally agreed.

In the progress of selecting actors, he made another big difficulty, Shi Jing is worth a lot of money, and he is not bad, even if he doesn't spend money, he doesn't worry about finding someone to work with, but Shi Jing is in a special situation after all, just acting, he is afraid that the other party's variables are too big, which will make Shi Jing fall into a more hopeless abyss, and Shi Jing is a person who is definitely not willing to cooperate with anyone, probably because he is like an ant on a hot pot, Mo Wenqing recommended Si Qi.

At first, he scoffed at this, a single kindergarten teacher with children was really far from the actor standard he set for Shi Jing, but Mo Wenqing had a high opinion of Si Qi, and repeatedly emphasized that she was definitely not a difficult person to dismiss, out of curiosity, he deliberately moved to Mo Wenqing's house to help pick up Yuan Yuan, so as to observe Si Qi and his people, just a few times to get along, he reluctantly admitted that Si Qi was indeed good, which was more in line with his requirements.

It just so happened that Si Qi also had similar needs, and the two of them cooperated, which could be regarded as taking what they needed, and would not cause unnecessary trouble, so he thought twice before hinting at letting the elder sister mention this matter, and later when discussing the terms of cooperation through the elder sister, he felt that Si Qi was clean and neat, and he really only wanted to cooperate, and it would not become a hidden danger in the future, so he arranged a blind date meeting in the middle of the night.

He watched the development of the situation with great anxiety, but he did not expect that things would be moving forward day by day, thriving, rushing towards a situation that he did not dare to imagine.

His thoughts couldn't help but sink, he inadvertently turned away from staring at the paintings on the wardrobe, and subconsciously patrolled this long-lost master bedroom, which should have just been cleaned, the windows were bright and clean, the heavy black curtains were opened, and under the sun, the slightest dust was gone, and the black bed was covered with orange sheets and bedding, and there were a few plush dolls next to the pillow printed with small flowers, which were extremely incongruous with the black wardrobe next to them, and they were nondescript and a little grotesque.

The black wardrobe is ajar, full of hangers, and some black clothes of different styles, which should be Shi Jing's, the black sofa is also covered with a warm-colored sofa cover, with brightly colored pillows on it, the black desk has been replaced by a white dressing table, an oval mirror is erected in the middle, and a bottle of cute white jade rabbit is placed on a ceramic plate on the left, holding a carrot.

He remembered that many years ago, he auctioned back the collection for Shi Jing at a charity auction, and now it was polished and put on display.

The black bookcase on the side of the bed was removed and replaced with a TV cabinet, on which was placed a large 52-inch TV, and there was even a bottle of hand-folded flowers next to it, which looked like it was enough to make it look real.

If it weren't for the fact that the big closet to the top was exactly the same as he remembered, he would almost have thought that he had gone to the wrong room.

After a long time, he turned his head to look at Shi Jing in a daze, and asked quietly, "You arranged it yourself?"

For the big weirdo who has lived alone for more than ten years, folding a wardrobe, installing a makeup cabinet, a TV cabinet or something, is completely a piece of cake, and the bottle of fake flowers that he can't accept is actually folded like the real thing, and the orange quilt cover and the warm-colored sofa cover shocked him.
