Chapter VII
In late spring in May, the locust trees quietly bloom. Looking at the vast white expanse from afar, the emerald green branches seem to be covered with a layer of snow.
There is a poem "Huai Lin in May Qiong flowers, lush and fragrant drunk thousands of homes, spring water and blue waves falling, floating incense all the way to the end of the world." "The air after the rain is moist and fresh, filled with the fragrance of acacia flowers. Clusters of white locust flowers adorn the branches, and the tender green leaves set off the snow-white flowers, and the air is filled with an elegant fragrance, refreshing. The breeze is light, and the faint fragrance is blowing in the face.
After school that day, Shen Yuyin deliberately took all kinds of silk threads and ran to ask Shen Qingyun what color he liked.
"It's the Dragon Boat Festival soon, I want to knit a bracelet for my brother, what color do you like? ”
Shen Yuyin took a lot of colors, peach, green onion, goose yellow...... But they all belong to the color scheme of the girl's house. Since it is made for men, it can only choose orthodox colors, such as red, black, white, and gold. Dongxia advocates Xuanse, Shen Qingyun chose Xuanse, Shen Yuyin used silver thread with Xuanxun bead thread, and compared the length and size with his hand. Shen Yuyin asked him if he had any other requirements and preferences, Shen Qingyun thought about it, shook his head and said, "As long as you send it, I like it." ”
Shen Yuyin snorted, and the smile stained his cheeks. "I know, as long as my brother takes it out, he will like it, but since I've come to ask your opinion, you still want to express it!"
"Fittings don't have any special needs other than being comfortable to wear. ”
Although this answer was equivalent to saying nothing, Shen Yuyin still wrote it down, and she would definitely re-select the soft material when she went back.
In the past few months in the academy, she has been practicing female celebrity very carefully, originally she used to do a little simple sewing, so she can master it faster than other female students, and she wants to make a delicate object for Shen Qingyun with a little achievement.
Her first finished product is naturally to be taken very seriously, originally she wanted to make sachets, and it happened that the Dragon Boat Festival also had the custom of wearing sachets, but unfortunately her current embroidery was not enough to meet the standard, so she could only retreat to the second to weave a bracelet for him. When she is fine in embroidery in the future, the first sachet must be made for her brother first.
Shen Yuyin sat for a while and then went back, she said that since she wanted to do it, she would do it with her heart, not to rush this time, and let Shen Qingyun wait for the acceptance of her finished product. Shen Qingyun expressed his expectations, and Shen Yuyin, who was encouraged, hurried back to prepare.
As soon as Shen Yuyin left with her front foot, Shen Qingyun immediately poured water on her back foot to moisten her throat, "Finally left, my mouth is dry, the little girl is so coaxing." ”
"One set in front of you, one set behind your back, let the little girl know that she will be sad." A faint voice echoed in Shen Qingyun's mind. Shen Qingyun pursed the corners of her lips, "I'm not a particularly emotionally enthusiastic person, she is an exception, there are several "sisters and sisters" in the Shen family, when did you see me pay attention to them." ”
"It's your business, it's time to talk about mine. 』
The so-called "business", he didn't mention it, Shen Qingyun also knew it in his heart.
"Do you have a choice?"
"You either run to the academy or stay in the house all day long, and you can't go out of the door, so I can only narrow down the scope to these two places. ...... It's a student in the academy, named Lu Shuangsheng, you can lead him to a place where no one is. 』
After school the next day, Shen Qingyun excused himself to go with Fu Huaiyu, deliberately hugged a stack of books to find his target, pretended to be blocked by the book and couldn't see the road clearly, and collided with the other party. I heard an exclamation, and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time, and the books were all scattered on the ground.
When the other students heard the commotion, they gathered around to see the excitement, but none of them took the initiative to help. Shen Qingyun also heard many people whispering: "Look, it's that 'bamboo pole', it's really ruthless now, I can't get up." ”
"This man is going to be unlucky. Who doesn't know that he is his mother's sweetheart, holding it for fear of falling, and holding it for fear of melting, this hit his mother and can't be with him endlessly!"
"Shhh
The other party's wheezing voice was weak and hoarse, and the palm holding his forearm was also full of weakness, Shen Qingyun frowned, helped him up with his backhand, and then pretended to apologize to him in a panic while cleaning up the books on the ground, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the road while holding the book, and accidentally bumped into you, I should have asked you if you were okay, right?"
Although most of the targets are frail and sickly, it is rare to meet such a young child who will attract such a heavy resentment.
The man waved his hand again and again, "I'm fine, you didn't mean it, I'll help you pick up the book." ”
The others saw that there was no bustle to see, and gradually dispersed. Shen Qingyun picked up the last book, stacked it neatly, and smiled kindly at the man: "Thank you, my name is Shen Qingyun, what about you, classmate?"
"Oh, my name is Lu Shuangsheng, you don't have to pay too much attention to what they said just now, I won't talk nonsense with my mother. ”
Lu Shuangsheng looked very thin, tired and out of breath after walking a few steps, and his lips were abnormally white, but in order not to let Shen Qingyun see his struggle, he still insisted that he was fine.
Shen Qingyun's attitude towards others has always been indifferent, but there is a little pity. He walked with Lu Shuangsheng for a while, and when he saw that he was panting tiredly, he finally couldn't help but say, "You don't seem to be in good health, it doesn't matter, right?"
"It's okay, my mother is waiting for me outside the academy, and I can rest in a while...... Ahh
Shen Qingyun hurriedly put down the book in his hand and helped him up, "Forget it, don't be reckless, I'll help you out." ”
Lu Shuangsheng was so pained that tears rolled in his eyes, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile, "Thank you, you are so nice." As soon as my classmates saw me, they avoided me like a flood of beasts, and sometimes I felt uncomfortable and had to hold on, not daring to trouble others. ”
"If you feel uncomfortable, just say it, if you don't say it, others won't understand you. ”
"It's not that they don't want to help me, it's because of my mother. Lu Shuangsheng limped along, "Because my sister went early, and my mother only has one son, so the baby is very good, and I am always afraid that I will bump into it." I usually can't even leave the house except for coming to the college, and she won't let me go out. If it weren't for the reputation of Jixian Academy and my father's insistence, my mother would have wanted to find a private tutor to teach me at home and keep me in captivity for the rest of my life. ”
"Although I am in the academy all day long, my mother always has the heart to. For example, if the food is not clean, will I be bullied in the academy, or I will accidentally bump into it. My classmates all thought I was troublesome, and my physique was weak, and my body would be bruised for no reason, so my mother scolded the street indiscriminately regardless of the occasion, and my classmates were unwilling to associate with me. ”
"Classmate Shen, you are far away from listening to me, right?" Lu Shuangsheng looked at Shen Qingyun's face cautiously, Shen Qingyun was not impatient, and said calmly: "How come." It's a very happy thing to have a mother, and I'm very envious. ”
Lu Shuangsheng didn't understand why Shen Qingyun made such remarks, but when his mother was too strict with him, he patted him and comforted: "It's okay, it's good for you to be harsh." ”
Shen Qingyun didn't defend and helped him out of the hospital. As soon as he descended the steps, a scream that pierced his eardrum exploded. A lady dressed in purple walked over quickly, took Lu Shuangsheng in her arms and looked her up and down, then pinched Shen Qingyun's arm hard, glared at him viciously, and shouted loudly: "Did you bully my son!!"
These words directly regarded Shen Qingyun as a villain who bullied Lu Shuangsheng, with such a mother-in-law, no wonder Lu Shuangsheng had no popularity in the academy.
Shen Qingyun didn't bother to explain to her, but her pupils suddenly shrank when she saw Mrs. Lu, and this slight move fell in Mrs. Lu's eyes, only as if he was a thief, she stretched out her big hand, pinched Shen Qingyun and asked him to take her to see his elders to reason.
Lu Shuangsheng struggled to break away from his mother's embrace, and said eagerly: "Mother, it was my son who accidentally fell, if it weren't for Classmate Shen passing by, I would still be on the ground and couldn't get up." Fortunately, I don't know my classmates, otherwise who do you think would dare to help me in the academy?"
Lu Shuangsheng was unhappy, it was a big deal for Mrs. Lu. She hurriedly let go of Shen Qingyun, calmed her obedient son's emotions, and said, "Why are you so careless, it hurts, right? Lie down well when you get home, and my mother will find a doctor for you to take a look." ”
Shen Qingyun had already done his duty to send people to Mrs. Lu, and he said goodbye and turned around and walked towards his own carriage, Lu Shuangsheng thought he was unhappy, and called eagerly in the back: "Classmate Shen, thank you for your help today, don't take it to heart!"
Shen Qingyun had a good gentleman's smiling face, indicating that he didn't care. "It's just a gesture, and you should be careful next time. ”
When Shen Qingyun was alone, he whispered to himself, "I saw it." ”
"I saw it too. 』
The reason why he found Lu Shuangsheng was precisely because he exuded an inexplicable black mist on his body. Although he didn't know how such a young child could provoke such a heavy anger, Shen Qingyun was not a curious person. Who's family hasn't seen anything shady yet, and it's normal to solicit resentment, but I don't know if this thing has the grudge of the owner or the orphan soul without the owner, and why is it entangled in Lu Shuangsheng's eyes.
When Mrs. Lu pounced on her, Shen Qingyun not only saw a black mist from her that was even worse than Lu Shuangsheng's. Even behind her, Shen Qingyun saw a little girl.
She looked only about seven or eight years old, her face was pale and thin, and her body was so light that she seemed to be able to blow it away in one breath. Her expression was resentful and hateful, and her eyes chased after Mrs. Lu stubbornly. Especially after seeing Lu Shuangsheng, the black mist seemed to become even more intense.
"That's the last breath of resentment before death, but with such a small girl, it seems that this woman is not a good person. 』
"It doesn't matter where she comes from, you can solve it in the end anyway, as long as you make sure she doesn't endanger me. ”
The next day, Baili Weixian couldn't take a break because he was too busy, so he asked Shen Qingyun to go on a trip to help deliver the handouts to Zhao Fuzi, which was exactly what Shen Qingyun wanted.
Zhao Fuzi is Lu Shuangsheng's teacher.
Shen Qingyun entered the school hall and first glanced around, Zhao Fuzi was not there, and then his eyes fell on Lu Shuangsheng, who was sitting alone in the corner.
As Lu Shuangsheng said, no one wanted to approach him at all, and he was accidentally relied on by his mother. Their group of children, in terms of momentum and eloquence, can no match the pungent energy on her.
Lu Shuangsheng seemed very happy to see him, his eyes were shining at him, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to greet him. Shen Qingyun took the initiative to walk up to him and said with a smile: "Classmate Lu, are you feeling better?"
Lu Shuangsheng didn't expect him to really come over, and hurriedly said: "It's much better, I'm not a porcelain doll, I will break if I fall." ”
"Then I'll be relieved, after all, I did hit you first yesterday, otherwise you wouldn't have fallen later. Shen Qingyun handed him the handout, "This is the handout given by Baili Master to Master Zhao, if the other person is not here, please hand it over to him." Since you're okay, then I won't bother you. ”
Shen Qingyun turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Shuangsheng said eagerly behind him: "Classmate Shen, don't take it to heart, I'm used to being weak, and it's none of your business no matter what." ”
Shen Qingyun raised his eyes and glanced around, no one looked over curiously because he was talking to Lu Shuangsheng, a sick man was not worthy of their attention.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qingyun slowly turned to face him, and the black and white inky pupils were flowing with a treacherous gilt golden wave, directly facing Lu Shuangsheng's eyes. There was still a kind smile on his face, but his eyes were full of coldness.
Lu Shuangsheng suddenly couldn't take his eyes off inexplicably, and Shen Qingyun's eyes penetrated his soul straight like a hypnotic speech. There was an instant chaos in his mind, and he stared straight ahead in a daze, as if he was confused, and his eyes were dazed.
"What's wrong with Mr. Lu?"
Lu Shuangsheng shook his head indifferently, and Shen Qingyun said, "I'll go with you after school today, is it okay?"
“...... Good ......" Lu Shuangsheng muttered as if he had been captured.
"Then please wait for me for a moment. ”
Lu Shuangsheng nodded dumbfounded, "Okay......"
"Then we'll see you later. After receiving a satisfactory answer, the corners of Shen Qingyun's mouth hooked up a satisfactory arc.
