Since learning that Yu Chengyi has a different side, Tong Ziru has more trust in him, but she has never been a person who likes to talk to others, and likes to bury all her thoughts in her heart.

In addition to her studies and friends, she also gained a pistachio that brought joy to her life - a little orange cat.

In the calligraphy class she teaches in her spare time, there is a little orange cat who comes to her every day, clinging to her body affectionately, whether she is hungry or not. If you see a cat, your heart will become very soft, and when you see its pitiful appearance, you will take it home and raise it as soon as your heart is soft, and give it a name, Fiona.

During this time, Tong Ziru also rose to a new level in painting, and in her second degree art class, she learned how to bring Chinese painting to life and learned to paint gongbi. Let her understand that line modeling is the characteristic of Chinese painting techniques, and it is also the core of painting well. The requirements of the line are neat, delicate and rigorous.

Based on the inherent color, the general color is gorgeous, calm, bright and elegant, with a unified tone, and has a strong aesthetic interest in Chinese national color. Pay attention to the combination of realism.

The power of the word "force through paper back" is different in painting and writing, and the same technique and force cannot be used in one go.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was May 19th.

This time, she was assigned to take the school exam, which was also about writing and creation and calligraphy theory, copying and creating for two hours in the morning and answering theory for one and a half hours in the afternoon.

This time, she didn't dare to make the low-level mistakes of the last time, and she was highly concentrated throughout the exam, for fear that something would happen again.

Although she still chose to write and create regular script for this exam, she can also answer the theoretical knowledge. But there is always a sense of foreboding in my heart. The results won't be released until early July, which means she will have to suffer two months of inner torment.

If you think of these words, you are a little distracted, and you can't concentrate on the class. She plans to take the calligraphy grade exam in the second half of the year, and if she doesn't pass the intermediate level this time, she doesn't have to be ambitious.

After class, Tong Ziru was walking alone on the campus, and saw some people on the playground taking graduation photos, so he remembered that he hadn't seen Chen Xi and Zhao Yang this semester, and they would graduate soon, and it should be difficult to see them in the future.

But why didn't they come to take their graduation photos?

"Di Di Di," the mobile phone rang again at this time, and the child character Ru picked up the mobile phone and saw a long list of unfamiliar numbers, without showing the place of belonging.

I guess it was Auckland's mother calling, right?

Tong Ziru picked up his mobile phone and asked hello, and a vicissitudes of life male voice came from the other end, "I'm Wayne."

It was Wayne who called, and he said on the phone that Tong Ling had serious menopause because of a house fight with relatives, and now he is sick and hospitalized. He asked her to come back and negotiate with her relatives, not to hide abroad alone.

Hearing that her mother was angry like this, Tong Ziru almost wanted to scold, no matter how bad her mother was, she was still a mother, after all, she had been raised for 20 years. Do you need them to judge, have they ever taken care of her?

Tong Ziru promised her stepfather that she would return to China in a few days, but the air ticket money was not enough, even if she took a low-cost airline, it would cost thousands of yuan, and her stepfather told her that the money given to her by her biological father had made Tong Ling want to come back, and it had been transferred to her bank card.

If you put down the phone, you will have to ask for leave from the school, which is estimated to take a few months, and you can't take the final exam, so you can only come back next semester to make up for the exam.

She went through the formalities on the same day and went back with her suitcase. Worried that her friends would look for her, she sent a text message to Chen Xi saying that her family had returned to China in advance.

Worried that Fiona would have no one to take care of after leaving like this, she had to entrust Yu Chengyi to help take care of it for a while. He also said that if he didn't know how to raise it, he would give it to the shelter, Yu Chengyi did not have a cat, but he said that he would take care of Fiona.

The children's characters were so disturbed that she was worried about her mother's safety, and even more afraid of those terrible relatives.

......

Two days later, after reversing the plane, Tong Ziru finally returned to Auckland, where it was late autumn and winter. When she got out of the airport, she got into a taxi and went straight to the hospital to visit her mother.

As soon as I entered the ward, I saw Tong Ling lying on the bed recuperating. Tong Ziru didn't have time to take care of the luggage, just put it aside and sat next to his mother without even taking off the bag on his back.

Looking at her mother carefully, I saw that the corners of her eyes did not know when there were shallow fishtail marks. The eyelids also have dark circles, and the corners of the eyes are slowly drooping. And the pursed lips under the high bridge of the nose also turned a faint purple. At this time, she suddenly noticed that her mother's previously smooth forehead also appeared wrinkles like water ripples.

In this way, the mother's face without makeup has many traces of time, and her skin is slightly saggy, but she still has charm.

Tong Ziru couldn't help but stretch out his index finger and gently touch his mother's cheek.

Tong Ling was awakened by her touch, she locked her eyebrows slightly, and opened her eyes, a little stunned.

"Tina, are you? ...... Are you back?" Tong Ling was still a little weak when he spoke.

Tong Ziru nodded and grabbed Tong Ling's hand, "Well, Mom, I'm back." I won't leave this time, I'm here with you. ”

"You go back to school, it's too ...... It's too messy. ”

"It's okay, it's going to be fine with me. You can recuperate with peace of mind. ”

Tong Ziru comforted Tong Ling, and Wayne told her that they had hired a caretaker and that they didn't have to accompany her at night.

After seeing that her mother was fine, Tong Ziru went home with her stepfather, and she knew that there would be a "big war" to fight in the days to come.

I encountered so many things in just one year, and I thought that going to college might get better, but I didn't expect bad things to follow. She has never shed tears, and she has not cried for so many years since the death of Anna, who accompanied her through the storm, because the tears have long been in her heart.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Tong Ziru returned home. clicked on WeChat, and saw Yu Chengyi leave a message for her asking if she had gone back.

"It's back. ”

Yu Chengyi replied in seconds, "You should be four hours faster than China, haven't you rested yet?"

"Just sleep. ”

It's always this kind of question-and-answer, "Mr. Three-Word" style of awkward conversation, Yu Chengyi is not good at talking, and this answer makes him even more unsure of what to say.

He was a little nervous, and instead of going to dinner, he kept walking around the dormitory. Cen Jing saw him like this and asked him if it was related to Tong Ziru.

"She's back in New Zealand, and when you look at her conversations with me, I always feel that things aren't good. ”

Cen Jing took the phone and looked at the chat history of the two, then looked up and said, "It's nothing, are you too sensitive." ”

"No, her family environment is complicated, and the more she is fine, the more she feels. ”

"Then why don't you call her and ask?"

Yu Chengyi shook her head, "With her personality, I definitely don't say it." ”

Cen Jing was speechless at him, and rolled his eyes at him, "So worried about her, you can go to Auckland to find her!"

Yu Chengyi scratched his head, he was a little worried, because the family was going to have dinner tonight, and it would be okay just in time for Saturday, so Yu Chengyi planned to go home.

When he returned home, no other relatives came, and his grandparents went out for a walk, so he took out his guitar to play in order to relieve his distraction. It's just a hobby, and I can only play it simply.

A song of Qi Qin's "The Outside World" relieved his fearful and restless heart. I don't know if it will end up, and if I will only burst into tears when I see it again.

Yu Chengyi closed his eyes, his long upper and lower eyelashes crossed together, and from a distance, he looked like a boy in a painting with a lot of thoughts.

"Cheng Yi didn't say to call home, did this kid come back, old man, you go into the back room and have a look!"

Grandma's voice reached his ears, and hearing them return, he put down his guitar and immediately walked out of the bedroom to the living room.

"Grandma, grandpa, I'm back. Yu Chengyi pulled out a faint smile and helped his grandfather take down the fruits and vegetables in his hand.

"Well, good boy, it's good to come back," Grandpa put his arm around him, he put down the dish and put his backhand around Grandpa's back, he was a head taller than Grandpa, and the skinny Grandpa looked a little "birdy" next to him. ”

"Cheng Yi, let's go to Linxi Jixiang Pavilion for dinner in a while, your aunt and uncle are here today, let's get together after a long time." ”

"Good. Yu Chengyi supported his grandfather, and with his other hand holding his grandmother, the three of them were going downstairs to eat at the restaurant at the entrance of the community.

went to the hotel, other relatives also came, and Zhao Yang also went to the banquet on time. When Yu Chengyi saw that it was Zhao Yang, he just greeted politely, without any superfluous expressions on the surface.

"Finished with the internship?"

Zhao Yang's smiling eyes were a little meaningful, "No, it's just a break today." You, how are you doing?"

Before Yu Chengyi could answer, Zhao Yang's mother shouted, "What are the brothers muttering? Hurry up and sit down to eat!"

The two didn't speak again, so they had to take their seats.

Except for Yu Chengyi's parents who were busy working in other places and did not come back, almost all other relatives were there, and the adults at the dinner table chatted about work and family, and also started a topic around Yu Chengyi's grandparents, discussing whether to hire a nanny.

The adults chatted enthusiastically, but Yu Chengyi and Zhao Yang did not speak, one of them only cared about eating with his head covered, and the other occasionally said a few words from the elders.

Yu Chengyi's grandmother began to gossip while chatting, and seeing that her grandson and grandson were all talents, she smiled and asked directly, "Okay, don't talk about it anymore, I want to care about our children." Yangyang, have you dealt with your partner at school? You are in such good condition, there should be many girls chasing you, right?"

Zhao Yang was drinking orange juice, and when he heard this, he almost squirted, and he choked on the drink and coughed a few times.

Yu Chengyi on the side didn't speak, and directly handed him a tissue.

He slowed down, took the tissue to express his gratitude, and said to the anxious elders that it was okay before answering Grandma's question.

"I'm a 10,000-year-old single dog, I have no object, and no one is chasing me. I want to study hard and prepare for the graduate school entrance examination. ”

"Oh kid, you can't delay finding a partner while studying, your family is quite rich, and your father is also a small coal boss, you don't have to find a graduate student now, but you can find it well!"

"Okay, let's not talk about that now. I'm not as popular with girls at school as my brother," he said, his eyes looked at Yu Chengyi, and even the tears in the corners of his eyes became more and more prominent, looking like he didn't think it was a big deal.

"What do you mean Cheng Yi is still with that girl surnamed Lin now?"

Grandma's expectant little eyes looked at Yu Chengyi, no, to be precise, all relatives were looking at him.

I blame this big-mouthed cousin, what do you say that doesn't matter.
