Chapter 39: The Uninvited Guest
On the morning of the weekend, Qin Ziyan stayed in the study leisurely to paint, Qin's father and Qin's mother went out early in the morning, saying that they were going to see an old friend, and they would not come back for lunch to see the situation. &Fun&Text&Novel{}. {lw} {xs520}. {} (full text without ads)
I don't know when he started, he has gradually become accustomed to having someone around him, this feeling has not been felt in the past 20 years, he used to eat with his colleagues every day, but he never had only one person to accompany him like now, this habit is really addictive.
Qu Mohan is a very active person, squeezing into his life strongly, domineeringly pretending to ignore his refusal, Qin Ziyan suddenly laughed, a person like him who is used to being calm may need such a strong person to occupy his life and him as a person.
The doorbell interrupted Qin Ziyan's thoughts, put down the palette and brushes, got up to open the door, and the person he saw in the door mirror made him slightly stunned, thinking that Qu Mohan had come over so early, but unexpectedly, the person outside the door turned out to be Sheng Xuanling, speaking of which, he hadn't seen Sheng Xuanling for a while.
Qin Ziyan's hand on the doorknob was a little hesitant, his parents were not at home now, he was alone in the teacher's house as a "student", he couldn't say anything, although he didn't think that some things could be hidden from Sheng Xuanling, and he didn't know how much Sheng Xuanling had investigated.
The doorbell only rang a few times, and soon the room was quiet, and Qin Ziyan could see through the door mirror that Sheng Xuanling was still standing outside the door, making the faces of countless girls look back expressionlessly, standing like a statue, without anger or impatience.
Qin Ziyan sighed softly, opened the door and showed a light smile: "Teacher Sheng, why are you here?" ”
Sheng Xuanling seemed to have expected that it would be Qin Ziyan who would open the door, and nodded indifferently: "Hmm." ”
Qin Ziyan took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and explained, "The professor and aunt are out, and they will probably come back in the afternoon." ”
Sheng Xuanling put the gifts he brought on the cabinet, changed his shoes silently, and followed Qin Ziyan into the living room.
"Sit down, I'll make tea." Qin Ziyan pointed to the sofa and turned around and entered the kitchen.
Sheng Xuanling's silence made the atmosphere look very awkward, at this time, Qin Ziyan especially hoped that Qu Mohan could come early, Sheng Xuanling was a taciturn person like Qu Mohan, but after understanding Qu Mohan, he and Qu Mohan were very compatible, but he and Sheng Xuanling only nodded in the past.
"Teacher Sheng, please drink tea." Qin Ziyan put the teacup on the coffee table, and the politeness that should be there is still no less.
Sheng Xuanling glanced at Qin Ziyan, who was calm, and then turned his gaze to the study with the door open, and from this angle, he could just see the half-completed ink painting on the easel, and retracted his gaze to Qin Ziyan and asked, "Are you painting?" ”
Qin Ziyan said: "Well, I joined the painting club this semester, originally I was learning calligraphy with Professor Qin, and then Professor Qin knew that I was still learning ink painting, so he introduced an ink painting teacher to guide me. ”
Sheng Xuanling was silent for a long time and said, "Can I take a look?" ”
Qin Ziyan paused, got up and took Sheng Xuanling into the study: "I've been studying "Ink Jiangnan" for the past few days, and I've just started painting. ”
Sheng Xuanling walked to the easel and carefully admired this semi-finished "Ink Jiangnan", Qin Ziyan's ink painting skills are not mature enough, but he can see Qin Ziyan's seriousness and hard work, and the four words "Ink Jiangnan" on the painting are written in official script, which is particularly eye-catching.
Sheng Xuan stared at these four words steadily, exactly the same as the familiarity buried in his memory, and involuntarily stretched out his hand to lightly touch the canvas, and only retracted his hand for a long time to look around, there were still several paintings and calligraphy works hanging on the wall, and in the center was a "Orchid Pavilion Preface".
Qin Ziyan leaned lightly on the desk, not interrupting Sheng Xuanling's distraction, and not missing the guilt in Sheng Xuanling's eyes.
Sheng Xuanling turned his head to look at the calm Qin Ziyan: "Can you give it to me after this painting is completed?" ”
Qin Ziyan straightened up and walked to the easel, holding his chest with one hand, and holding his chin with the other, he didn't think that this painting was worth collecting and appreciating, he was studying lotus flowers for a while ago, and today he started painting ink Jiangnan for the first time, to be honest, everything he painted was still very rough.
"Of course, as long as Teacher Sheng doesn't dislike it, it may take a little time." Qin Ziyan is not easy to shirk.
Sheng Xuanling rarely showed a faint smile, and walked to the desk by the window, there was still a calligraphy work on the desk, which could be seen to have just been completed, and a bunch of paintings rolled together, after getting Qin Ziyan's consent, he opened a few paintings, all of which were lotus flowers in different forms.
"Can you send me a few?" Sheng Xuanling turned his head and asked Qin Ziyan.
"It's still the same sentence, as long as Mr. Sheng doesn't dislike it." Although Qin Ziyan was puzzled, he didn't ask much.
Sheng Xuanling's face was overjoyed, and he picked a few lotus flowers and bamboos: "Then these are a few pieces?" ”
Qin Ziyan nodded, these are his practice works, all the works that are better painted have been framed and given away by Qin's father, the only one left "Yongzhu" is now hanging in the living room, in addition, most of his calligraphy works have been taken and given away.
"You learned calligraphy very well." Sheng Xuanling stretched out his hand and stroked the rice paper spread out on the desk.
Qin Ziyan stepped forward and said ambiguously: "It's the teacher who teaches well." ”
Sheng Xuanling tilted his head and looked at Qin Ziyan quietly, Qin Ziyan just maintained an indifferent smile, without a trace of panic when lying, his vision gradually began to blur, and Qin Ziyan's face full of confidence slowly turned into the dazzling and heart-catching face in his memory.
Qin Ziyan!
This name has long become an untouchable pain in his heart, he has woken up from nightmares countless times, and his eyes are full of pictures of Qin Ziyan covered in blood, when Qin Ziyan just died, he could only rely on sleeping pills to sleep, and even his friend Cheng Zhe, who is a doctor, pronounced that he was a heart disease.
Sheng Xuanling couldn't get out of his inner demons, if he hadn't suddenly asked Qin Ziyan to go out, Qin Ziyan would not have died, what else in the world could be more cruel than killing his beloved? The original beautiful confession covenant turned into sending the beloved to Huangquan Road.
Hearing the news of Qin Ziyan's death in a car accident, Sheng Xuanling only felt that his heart was cracked, and he could no longer hear any sound around him, and finally Cheng Zhe found him on the side of the road, at that time it was already dark, and he stayed in the car for more than ten hours unknowingly.
In the following days, Sheng Xuanling had a messy life, he didn't go to school for a few days, and even felt that it was okay to die like this, go down to accompany Qin Ziyan, Qin Ziyan would not be so lonely alone, until his cousin Sheng Xuyu couldn't stand it anymore and threw him to Cheng Zhe.
When Sheng Xuyu threw a copy of Qin Ziyan's death information in front of him, Sheng Xuanling did not feel relieved, nor did he hate Qin Ziyan, the "culprit" was still him, at first he didn't take Qin Ziyan to heart at all, until after the military training, Qin Ziyan's name suddenly spread throughout the school.
When he saw Qin Ziyan for the first time, his stunning appearance and calm personality were undoubtedly unforgettable, but what shocked Sheng Xuanling the most was Qin Ziyan's temperament, the confidence and brilliance that he inadvertently showed in his gestures were exactly the same as the sense of familiarity that was deep in his heart.
Sheng Xuanling began to pay attention to Qin Ziyan uncontrollably, Qin Ziyan gradually showed a convincing talent, not only wrote good calligraphy, but also gradually emerged in the painting club, and more and more people surrounded Qin Ziyan, from Li Xin to Ye Zhichen, to Qu Mohan and Tang Zhiheng.
When he saw Qin Ziyan's calligraphy works, Sheng Xuanling instantly held his breath, his heart beat violently, and the handwriting was almost exactly the same as Qin Ziyan's, until Qin Ziyan's personal information was placed in front of him, he could hardly believe his eyes, and a ridiculous thought took shape in his mind.
Qin Ziyan's parents died early, living alone, cowardly, inferior, taciturn, mediocre grades, and without any calligraphy and painting talent, Qin Ziyan's car accident day, it happened to be Qin Ziyan's father's death day, Qin Ziyan died in order to avoid Qin Ziyan crossing the road.
Later, Qin Ziyan suddenly appeared at Qin Ziyan's house, and from that day on, Qin Ziyan never left here.
Sheng Xuan looked at Qin Ziyan steadily, slowly raised his hand, and his palm slowly approached Qin Ziyan's face......
"Ziyan!" Qu Mohan's cold voice with slightly angry anger suddenly came from the door, and his face was expressionless.
"Mo Han." Qin Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, walked quickly to Qu Mohan's side, and looked back at Sheng Xuanling lightly.
He knew that Sheng Xuanling had a knot in his heart, this was his study before his death, and it was understandable that Sheng Xuanling would be cranky, so he didn't bother Sheng Xuanling, but just now, he felt that Sheng Xuanling's eyes were full of too many complicated feelings, which were feelings that he didn't want to touch and understand at all.
"Huh? Xuan Ling is also there? Seeing Qu Mohan and Qin Ziyan standing at the door, Qin's mother stepped forward curiously, but when she saw that there was also Sheng Xuanling in the study, she intuitively felt that the atmosphere between the three of them was a little strange, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Why don't you go to the living room to sit?" Ziyan, go make tea. ”
"Good!" Qin Ziyan pulled Qu Mohan's wrist, turned back to Sheng Xuanling and said, "Teacher Sheng, let's go to the living room and sit and talk." ”
Mother Qin warmly greeted Qu Mohan and Sheng Xuanling to the living room, and Father Qin, who came back together, was also very happy to see the two.
Qin Ziyan went to the kitchen with Qin's mother to make tea and make a fruit plate, and asked, "Mom, why did you and Dad come back?" And Mo Han? ”
"We were just going to meet old friends, and we didn't plan to stay for dinner, but when we came back, we happened to meet Mo Han, what's the matter, you and Mo Han are going out to eat again?" After getting along frequently, Qin's mother liked Qu Mohan more and more, "Since everyone is here, let's stay and eat together." ”
Qin Ziyan nodded, thought of Sheng Xuanling, and asked, "Mom, has Sheng Xuanling been to our house before?" ”
Mother Qin sighed softly: "In the month you went to military training, he came a few times, and it can be seen that he is very depressed, your father and I have also persuaded him a few times, I don't know how much he listened, but I haven't seen him for a long time during this time, and today I see that his spirit is much better than before." ”
Qin Ziyan thought thoughtfully: "Sheng Xuanling is as thoughtful as Mo Han, I suspect that Mo Han already knows that I am Qin Ziyan, but Mo Han is very concerned about my feelings, and has not exposed me so far, Sheng Xuanling is not Mo Han, he may investigate me in private." ”
"Such an outrageous thing, even if they suspect it, they can't verify it." Mother Qin comforted Qin Ziyan's back.
Qin Ziyan smiled, picked up the tray and returned to the living room, with Qin's father there, the atmosphere between Qu Mohan and Sheng Xuanling eased, he could feel that Sheng Xuanling's sudden move just now, Qu Mohan saw it in his eyes, and was very angry, this guy shouldn't be jealous, right?
"It's rare to be so lively today, Xuan Ling, Mo Han, stay and have lunch together, right?" Mother Qin happily invited.
"Thank you, auntie." Qu Mohan took the lead in making the decision.
"Thank you." Sheng Xuanling also followed suit.
Qin Ziyan instantly felt Qu Mohan's breath a little colder, and couldn't help but secretly snicker, it was rare to see Qu Mohan's such a childish side, that feeling was like a beloved thing being coveted, keeping a state of alert at any time, the other party made a slight statement, and immediately reacted vigilantly.
"I'll help out in the kitchen." Qin Ziyan secretly patted Qu Mohan's back and got up to help in the kitchen.
Because it was the weekend, Qin Ziyan basically ate at home, and Qin's mother specially prepared rich ingredients, which just came in handy today, and the two were busy in the kitchen and made a table of hearty meals.
Qu Mohan and Sheng Xuanling knew how to be restrained in front of the two old men, and they ate quite happily at a meal, but when Sheng Xuanling left, Qu Mohan saw that Sheng Xuanling had taken away so many paintings and calligraphy works, and his face suddenly became very cold.
"If you like it, how many can I give you?" Qin Ziyan's smile was a little playful.
Qu Mohan looked at Qin Ziyan steadily, and suddenly hooked his lips, revealing a sly smile: "Okay, but I want to send it in my way." ”
"In what way?"
"You'll find out at night." Qu Mohan leaned his head towards Qin Ziyan, his lips stayed at the corners of Qin Ziyan's mouth, and in the end he didn't do anything, just left a sentence of "wait for me" and turned to leave.
Qin Ziyan stood in place and watched Qu Mohan drive away, exhaled heavily, and his stalled heartbeat slowly calmed down.
