Since the last time Ruan Ying took Shen Xi to hang out with Murong Qiao and the others, it seems to have been a long time ago.

Later, Shen Xi returned to staying at home often, drinking Chinese medicine and exercising for examinations, which is comparable to the life of the elderly.

It's just that she has been absent for so long, which inevitably makes some people uncomfortable.

For example, Xiao Gu at the front desk of the inkstone repair studio.

She was not interested in going to work by herself every day, so after having fun chatting with Shen Xi every day, she always wanted to share her fun with Shen Xi.

“…… It's been almost a month. Xiao Gu pulled the calendar on his phone, pouting and complaining.

From time to time, she looked at the door again, and almost every time there was a sound of people entering, she had to look over with great anticipation, and then she couldn't help but be deflated when she saw a face that was not what she expected.

She has been holding back her problems for a month, and she has no one to talk to every day, so she can only face the cold boss......

Speaking of the boss, Xiao Gu glanced at Yan Xiu, who was looking at his design from behind, and with some hesitation, he noticed that the other party seemed to come out more frequently than before in the recent period.

There are only two people in the store, and it's hard to care about this kind of thing without paying attention.

"Look what I do." The inkstone that was stared at did not change color, and the action of turning the design work in his hand did not stop.

In terms of attitude towards Xiao Gu, Yan Xiu is relatively ordinary.

Xiao Gu hurriedly cheered up and shook his head, "No, no." ”

How dare she say that she is looking at the boss and thinking about Shen Xi in her heart.

Shen Xi's thoughts on Yan Xiu, Xiao Gu looked at it as a bystander, which was very clear.

"You go back and put these clothes in the warehouse, and the space is vacated for new products." Yan Xiu commanded.

After he finished speaking, he turned around, and saw that the direction seemed to be going back to his studio, but after a few steps, he paused, and then temporarily twisted in a new direction, and walked towards the location of the bathroom in the store.

Xiao Gu raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but he had a little calculation in his heart.

It's just that the thoughts in his heart are faintly exhaled, but from Yan Xiu's face that is always cold to expressionless, Xiao Gu doesn't seem to be able to find any information he wants.

In the past, Yan Xiu was in the studio, and he might stay for a day, and even when he got off work, he needed to take the initiative to remind him.

But Shen Xi hasn't been here for the past few days......

Xiao Gu's thoughts were fluttering, and he suddenly heard a soft sound at the door.

She instinctively looked up, but after seeing that it was not Shen Xi, even if she knew that it would be such a result, she still couldn't hide the loss in her heart.

It was the takeout she ordered that arrived.

She trotted to the door to take the food from the delivery man's hand into her own hands, and then sighed heavily.

Xiao Gu, who was just immersed in his own melancholy, didn't seem to notice that the door on the other side of the studio was slightly open.

In fact, it's not just Xiao Gu who is waiting for others, but when Yan Xiu is in the studio, he will occasionally be noticed.

The period of time when Shen Xi came to the design studio before was not without effect.

It is said that a person can form a habit in seven days and develop it in twenty-one days.

Shen Xi's existence is the same for Yan Xiu's studio, even if she can't see it for the past two days, but when Yan Xiu occasionally sits and designs, she suddenly feels the noise outside.

It's just that the noise is unfamiliar, it's just the customers who come to the store.

Watching Xiao Gu take the takeaway back, Yan Xiu closed the door very calmly, turned his head and went back to make his own design draft.

In the past, inspiration gushed out like a spring, and the moment when the pen was silky, but at this moment, there is no favor for Yan Xiu.

He sat back at his desk, staring at the design draft in his hand, and suddenly felt that it didn't seem right to put pen to paper, and frowned in annoyance for a while, not understanding what was wrong with him.

He tried to concentrate on the work in front of him, but the thoughts in his head were at the moment, and he just wouldn't listen to him.

Shen Xi hadn't been here for twenty-six days.

Unlike Xiao Gu's vague concept, once Yan Xiu thinks of it, he can list the specific time.

He didn't understand how he could remember such a thing, but when he remembered it, he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen to the movement outside.

Yan Xiu didn't know what Shen Xi was here to design, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and countless people had come here frequently before, so that Yan Xiu understood this truth.

Maybe the other party is no different from those daughters.

Thinking that Shen Xi's enthusiasm might only last for a few days longer than the others, Yan Xiu vaguely came to a conclusion in his heart, but along with the conclusion, there was a sense of loss that confused him.

Obviously, it was still warm weather, and the air conditioner was not very cold, but Yan Xiu felt as if there was a vacant place in his heart, and the wind was blowing, which made him feel uncomfortable.

— until the slight doorbell rings.

After a long time, Shen Xi finally got a chance to go out again from his mother Su Rong, so he couldn't wait to run to the design room.

It was rare for her to lose her usual calm appearance, and when she pushed open the door of the design room, her steps also carried a sense of urgency that she couldn't explain.

Wanted to see him.

Shen Xi thought, pushed open the door and glanced around, but unsurprisingly failed to see Yan Xiu's figure.

Xiao Gu was burying her head in the front desk, but this time she was numb, and she didn't look up when she heard the doorbell, but just said a word of welcome.

"The left is the exhibition area, and the right is the rest area, please feel free to guests." Xiao Gu's tone was flat.

Shen Xi walked over, "It's me." ”

This familiar voice sounded, and it reached Xiao Gu's ears for two seconds, and then he finally raised his head suddenly and looked at Shen Xi who was standing in front of the counter.

"Miss Shen—" Xiao Gu suddenly swept away the sleepy appearance just now.

After seeing Shen Xi coming, she cheered up directly, skillfully poured a cup of tea for Shen Xi, and then brought the other party to a place where the two often chatted.

Xiao Gu was very happy, "I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

"For physical reasons, I've been staying at home." Regarding this matter, Shen Xi has always been reluctant to mention more.

She only said a few words, and then her eyes moved to the inkstone studio.

But in the next moment, Shen Xi's gaze met a pair of eyes in the crack of the door, which made her unable to help but be stunned.

"Miss Shen Xi?" Xiao Gu called her.

Shen Xi instinctively responded, but when he came back to his senses, he found that the door of the studio was tightly closed, as if the scene just now was just his own illusion.

Could it be that she really missed it too much during this time, and caused the hallucination?

Shen Xi rarely had doubts about himself.

"I mean, I don't feel like my boss is in a good mood lately, and I don't talk much, and I haven't said much in the past two days-"

Xiao Gu knew what Shen Xi was for, so he also told her. "You're here today for eighty percent ......"

"Xiao Gu, go and get me a piece of cloth, No. 47."

She hadn't finished talking to Shen Xi yet, and she didn't know when Yan Xiu, who suddenly appeared, stood at the door of the studio and made a sound.

Xiao Gu hurriedly got up, "This is coming!" ”

When the boss spoke, she naturally had to do it as soon as possible.

"Inkstone...... Yan Xiu, long time no see. When Shen Xi saw him, he involuntarily stood up, his hands clasped together a little nervously.

Yan Xiu said "um", and it was rare to say a few more words this time.

"Long time no see."
