There is a good saying, called "courtesy is light and affectionate", so congratulatory gifts don't have to be precious, especially when the relationship between the two parties is close. Happy? Wen? It's just that He Zhi didn't want to bother with this kind of thing at first, so she decided to spend money to "buy something as a gift", which can be regarded as a lazy behavior.

It's a pity that this laziness still didn't steal it in the end. So at this moment, He Zhi can only stand in front of this table, draw a picture for Shibo, and talk about his feelings. She held the pen and thought for a moment, and seemed to have an idea in her heart, so she didn't hesitate, and began to draw with the pen.

Since following He Zhi into the study and guessing that she was going to paint, Wei Lai has not spoken much. At this time, He Zhi began to paint, and she stood silently and watched, but her attention was more attracted by He Zhi's focused appearance at the moment.

Wei Lai and He Zhi have not known each other for a long time, and it has only been two months since they first met at the end of July. Although the two get along a lot for various reasons, in the end, the time is too shallow, and the understanding between each other is even more shallow. is like Wei Lai's cognition of He Zhi, in fact, it has always stayed at the level of "gentle ladies and gentlemen". The He Zhi she saw was either gentle and graceful, or down-to-earth and generous, so focused and serious, and it could even be said that it was the first time she had seen it.

So unconsciously, Wei Lai's attention was attracted by He Zhi. When she came back to her senses, she found that He Zhi's paintings had basically taken shape - because of time, He Zhi's paintings were not complicated, but just a picture of pine trees, and the meaning of "pine and cypress evergreen" was also suitable for birthday celebrations. It's just that she took a lot of thought to paint this painting, and the pine is not an ordinary pine, at a glance, the layout of the branches and leaves and the rocks and plants next to the tree can be vaguely seen to be a scribbled "longevity" word.

Wei Lai looked at it in amazement, although she didn't know how to appreciate the painting, she also felt that the painting was excellent. She couldn't help but look up at He Zhi twice, and a little ashamed of herself rose in her heart. It's just that this time it was not because of the family's wealth, but because of Miss He's talent.

Even if it was just a simple painting, He Zhi's painting took nearly two hours, but by the time he finished writing, it was already afternoon, and lunch time was already early. She was attentive to her paintings, but she never felt hungry, and Wei Lai was by her side, and she never said anything from beginning to end, just watched intently.

Probably because a posture was maintained for too long, He Zhi stiffened when she put away the pen and got up, and then twisted her neck slightly. The feeling of soreness suddenly spread, and He Zhi couldn't help frowning slightly.

Wei Lai subconsciously took a step forward, but saw that Xi Qiu moved faster to meet him, and then skillfully pressed He Zhi up. After a while, the stiff muscles were finally relieved, and the vague discomfort on He Zhi's face finally disappeared.

Wei Lai, who came back to her senses, couldn't help but purse her lips slightly-just because He Zhi frowned, she actually subconsciously wanted to step forward to help He Zhi press her shoulder? Such a reaction was so abnormal for her!

Fortunately, He Zhi was unwell, but he didn't pay attention to this. She put down the paintbrush she was still holding in her hand, looked up at the sun outside the window again, and then smiled apologetically at Wei Lai with an embarrassed face: "I was able to paint, but I didn't know that so much time had passed, and I wouldn't have asked you to come and see it." ”

Wei Lai had already restrained her feelings at this time, although she was a little suspicious in her heart, she still had that gentle smile on her face: "It's okay." Although I don't know how to write and ink, it is also an honor to see Jin Rui painting. ”

This is a compliment, and it may not be false, but Wei Lai is not a person who likes to say such polite words. He Zhi glanced at Wei Lai thoughtfully, but the other party avoided her gaze for some reason, which made the worry in her eyes even worse.

Of course, now is not the time to pursue these. He Zhi smiled softly, and then took back her searching gaze, she turned her head calmly and instructed Xi Qiu to go to the kitchen of the Taishou Mansion to find something to eat, and then said to Wei Lai: "It's all because I am fascinated by painting, even you missed lunch, if you don't dislike it, let's use some together in a while." ”

He Zhi said this too politely, so that Wei Lai couldn't think of refusing at all. So although she wanted to go back and think about what her previous abnormality was for, she still nodded and agreed to He Zhi's invitation.

After a while, Xi Qiu came back with a food box. The noodle box contained two bowls of rice, a few light side dishes, and a meat dish that was obviously prepared for Wei Lai.

Wei Lai glanced at it, and because of Mrs. He's careful advice before leaving, he knew that these light side dishes were basically what He Zhi liked. I just don't know if this is something that Xi Qiu specially ordered people to prepare, or if the people of the Zeng family had the heart and prepared it deliberately.

******************************************************************

At lunch, Zeng Mohan heard the news that He Zhi had no food. He only missed lunch when He Zhi came from afar, he was really tired, and he was still resting in the house, so he carefully ordered the kitchen to prepare the dishes He Zhi liked at the beginning, just waiting for He Zhi to eat when he was going to eat, so that he could eat the meal he liked.

It's just that this wait, but the waiting time is a bit long. It wasn't until noon passed, and before half of the hour, that the kitchen staff came back and forth to say that He Zhi's maid finally went to the kitchen to get lunch and went back.

I've even missed lunch for so long, what kind of tiredness must I have become? Zeng Mohan was a little worried, and at the same time faintly regretted the abruptness of the morning - he didn't let people rest, and insisted on inviting people to travel with him, but fortunately he didn't go to a distant place to play, otherwise wouldn't Ah Zhi be even more tired at this time?

Because of this apology, Zeng Mohan went to the guest room to visit He Zhi after getting the news. He counted the time, and happened to arrive just in time after He Zhi finished eating, but unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the far door of the courtyard where the guest room was located, he saw the door of He Zhi's room open.

This situation is quite rare, Zeng Mohan couldn't help but squint and take a closer look. Through the wide open door, he saw He Zhi and Wei Lai sitting together talking in the room, and there was an unexpected harmony and intimacy in that appearance......

For a moment, Zeng Mohan thought a lot. It was only at this time, when there was no one around him to interfere, that he suddenly remembered some questions that he had been ignoring before-why did He Zhi leave the capital and appear here? In what capacity has that Wei Lai been by He Zhi's side? And the closeness between the two people, what does it represent?

Zeng Mohan is not stupid, but when he calms down and thinks about it, he doesn't feel good in his heart. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he was a little stubborn and didn't want to believe it, after all, the gap between the two was too big, and he didn't believe that He Zhi, who had such talent, would fall in love with a martial artist who didn't have a common language.

Closing his eyes and stabilizing his mind slightly, Zeng Mohan raised his legs again and walked towards He Zhi's house.
