Chapter 8 Su Nian
Chapter 8 Su Nian
The first ray of sunlight in the morning entered the room and shone on the faces of the two sleeping.
Feeling the gentle touch of the sun, Shen Chai gently opened her eyes.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the girl in front of her.The girl's breathing was soft, and her chest rose and fell shallowly.Silky soft long hair wrapped around a thin body.There was still a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth, it must have been a good dream.
Shen Chai couldn't bear to wake her who was sound asleep, so she got up gently, sat on the edge of the bed and put on her slippers.
Xia Yu felt a lightness around her, and stretched out her hand, "Don't go. 'Her tone had an indescribable sadness and helplessness.Was she dumped again?
Shen Chai felt Xia Yu's strong uneasiness, and she stretched out her hand to hold Xia Yu's hand tightly to reassure her.
'You sleep again, I'll cook breakfast. '
Xia Yu suddenly woke up from her sleep, and looked around with her sleepy eyes.Only then did I realize that it was just a dream.
Fortunately, it was a dream.Luckily she hasn't been abandoned yet.
She hesitated and nodded, she looked at Shen Chai, her eyes moved, starting from the left hand holding her hand, to the slender but powerful arm, to the thin chin, and to the warm eyes.
Shen Chai was also reluctant to leave, but she had to cook, otherwise Xia Yu would have to go to school without eating.
She held Xia Yu's hand tightly, feeling the touch of her bones.Finally, he opened his hand lightly.Forced himself not to look at Xia Yu's wet eyes, he walked out of the room.
After Shen Chai left, Xia Yu lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, with a lot of thoughts, but couldn't tell what she was thinking.
She turned sideways slightly, wanting to see Shen Chai outside the door.But the angle was a bit off, she couldn't see anything, and when she calmed down, she could clearly hear the crisp sound of dishes colliding.She couldn't hide her disappointment and sighed.
She inadvertently saw her painting on the bedside.
She cherishes her random pen practice like this, and her heart is filled with an indescribable emotion, which seems to be gushing out soon.
' got up. ' Shen Chai's clear and cheerful voice came from outside the door.
Xia Yu changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
A strong rice fragrance hits the face, it is a happy and fulfilling taste.
After washing up, she sat at the table and looked at the morning on the table.
The sticky rice porridge that has been boiled all night is served with four dishes of delicately colored side dishes.
She raised her head and took a deep look at Shen Chai who was still busy in the kitchen.
Shen Chai didn't need to look back, she also knew that Xia Yu was looking at her.
She changed the chopsticks that she had supported with her right hand to her left hand and sped up the speed.
Soon, a stack of oily, bright and yellow egg-fried steamed buns appeared in front of Xia Yu.
Xia Yu picked up the bowl, raised her head and drank.The porridge is neither cold nor hot, the rice is neither soft nor hard, and a simple bowl of porridge is cooked just right.
The soft steamed buns are soaked in egg liquid and have a delicate taste.
Speaking of which, this was Xia Yu's first decent breakfast in his life.
She looked up and saw Shen Chai smiling at her.
Shen Chai has already put on light makeup and tied up her loose long hair.
She suddenly felt that happiness was nothing more than that.I really hope it will be like this every day in the future, Xia Yu thought.
Time will not stand still because of prayers, and the moment when the two look at each other and smile flies away.
For a breakfast, the two ate for half an hour.
"I'll collect..." Xia Yu murmured after finishing her meal.
She feels that every moment with her is so beautiful, and she cherishes it all the more.
'Don't accept it, I'm going to be late, let's talk when I come back. Shen Chai came out of the room with their bags.
Xia Yu picked up the paint box and hurried out with Shen Chai.
The company where Shen Chai works is in the city center, and it takes more than an hour to take the subway, and the lunch break is not enough to go back and forth, so she doesn't go home at noon.It is very close to Xiayu's school, only a 10-minute walk.Because Shen Chai didn't return, Xia Yu also decided to have dinner at school, she was alone, which was not interesting.
At the gate of the community, the two parted ways and rushed to each other's destinations. When they said goodbye, they took a deep look at each other, as if to confirm each other's reluctance.
Xia Yu was sitting in the classroom, the clock ticking round and round, she stared blankly at the podium, the teacher was still chattering.
Since the morning, she has been looking forward to school.It's more like looking forward to seeing Shen Chai than looking forward to school.She had never had such strong expectations for one thing.
When it came to math class, the old-fashioned middle-aged female math teacher who had just become more energetic not long ago looked at her coldly, but she didn't care at all.Xia Yu knew that she did not dare to say anything, nor would she say anything.
Shen Chai was different. Yesterday she almost took a day off. When she arrived at the magazine, there was a mountain of documents in front of her, waiting for her to review.As soon as I turned on the computer, the phone for work kept beeping, as if I couldn't wait, and it was about to jump out.
No way, who told her to talk about the chief art editor of this magazine?
She can't help but devote herself wholeheartedly to her work, which is what she loves.
Near noon, she had a quick lunch and went back to work.
She tirelessly handles daily affairs, and all tasks are in order.Fingers dance across the keyboard.The right hand is not so flexible due to injury, and the work efficiency is not impressive at all.She works like an efficient machine.
She really wanted to think about how Xia Yu was doing now, but she couldn't get distracted at all.
When she was about to leave work, she finished her work and just closed the computer.Stretched and ready to rest.
The colleague sitting in front of her suddenly yelled, "Sister Shen, Editor-in-Chief Liu is calling you." '
Mr. Liu is the husband of her best friend Su Nian, the gloomy man who drove her to a certain level in the rain the day before yesterday.
His name is Liu Yan, he is the current editor-in-chief of Shi Nianhui, and he is also the eldest son of the boss of Liu's Publishing Group.
Liu's is one of the best publishing companies in China. "Shinianhua" is a magazine under the Liu family. It was founded by her and Su Nian at the time. At the beginning of the publication, it was a fanzine in the nature of picture books, and it was issued in small batches.After being merged into the Liu family, it began to run youth literature concurrently.
Shen Chai couldn't bear to recall the mental journey during this period.She also didn't want to remember that this journey recorded her love and parting with Su Nian.They had been close lovers.But from the day Su Nian married Liu Yan, the former vows of eternal love have disappeared, and their relationship has changed from lovers to ordinary friends who are a little closer.Occasionally think of each other, but also just a trace of helplessness and reminiscence.That is their youth.
'Please come in. 'As soon as she walked to the door of the office, the emotionless voice passed through the crack of the door.
She gently opened the door and stood in front of his desk.
On his desk was a mountain of documents.It seems that the usual situation is no better than Shen Chai.
The arrival of Shen Chai saved Liu Yan who was about to be buried by the document.Some things can't be done as long as you work hard.
Liu Yan usually does not wear eyes, at this moment, he raised his head from the pile of documents, glanced at Shen Chai through a layer of glass, and stopped his work.
The ok but hypocritical smile on his face didn't reach his eyes 'Sister Shen, Nian Nian said I'll call you to our house for dinner tonight.You haven't come for a long time, and Nian Nian said that she missed you. '
His inadvertent words could no longer hurt Shen Chai who had long been numb.Over the past few years, Shen Chai has unknowingly gotten used to separation, loneliness, and pain.
How has their relationship been going?Shen Chai thought about it, and immediately laughed at herself from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Chai, Shen Chai, how long will it take you to see through that Su Nian looks gentle and mature on the surface, but is indifferent and alienated in his heart.With such a wife, how can there be peace in Liu Yan?
She hesitated for a while, but nodded in agreement.
She hadn't seen Su Nian for more than a year, she just wanted to see what she was doing now, after all, she was once a lover.
'I'm sure I'll have to work overtime later, I'll send you the address later, I can't send you off after get off work, sorry. Upon receiving Shen Chai's answer, Liu Yan grinned strangely.Continue to work hard.
She walked through the verdant garden, and her figure was drawn very long by the setting sun.
After she rang the doorbell, she stood quietly at the door of Su Nian's house.
Soon, there was a series of brisk footsteps, and the door opened.
The setting sun followed her footsteps into Su Nian's house.
The two looked at each other silently.Shen Chai stared at Su Nian, she was thinner than last year, very thin, even though her heart was already cold, she couldn't help feeling distressed.Su Nian also looked at Shen Chai, in the past she didn't like to cover up with makeup or tie up her hair, she has changed.
In Su Nian's eyes, there is an unconcealable tenderness and untraceable sadness.
The two of them didn't speak, they knew each other's thoughts tacitly, and didn't want to break this rare tenderness.
The sound of 'nya~' came from behind, and Nana poked her head out of the cat's nest, rushed out and rushed towards Shen Chai, rubbing against her.
Shen Chai bent down to pick it up, held it in her arms, and leaned against it intimately with her chin.
Nana was the cat they raised when they were together. After they parted, she was taken away by Su Nian.
The atmosphere was terrifyingly silent, and Nana's presence showed the fact that the two of them were no longer possible.But Nana couldn't feel it, and wanted to please Shen Chai "nya~nya~".
Shen Chai put it down gently, followed Su Nian into the room.
Now that it has become a fact, it can only be bravely accepted.Besides, she felt that she had come out.
This was Su Nian's first visit to her house after she moved.
She looked around casually, the tall vertical pendulum clock, the western-style dining table and the floral tablecloth.She can already see that this house is completely decorated according to Su Nian's taste, every table, chair, plant and tree are all Su Nian's preferences, she is very familiar with it.
After so many years, she has not changed.It was still the same as when they left her back then, as if nothing had changed, but they were no longer the cuddling each other.
Also, in the most conspicuous place, she saw her painting, that Impressionist oil painting, which was her favorite work a few years ago, and she gave it to Su Nian as a wedding gift, after she could no longer paint .
Things have changed, and no one will live in the past forever.
Su Nian smiled wryly and glanced at Nai Nai who was following behind Shen Chai, and spoke to himself.
'After the move, he didn't eat for days.It has been living together for almost a year now, and it still doesn't let Ayan get close. '
Shen Chai listened silently, not speaking.
'I'm going to make coffee, please spend time with Nana, she misses you very much. 'Su Nian smiled softly, she noticed that the atmosphere was starting to change.
Shen Chai nodded, and sat on the sofa to tease Nana.
After a while, a refreshing fragrance came from the kitchen.
Shen Chai quietly sniffed the aroma of coffee.
When they are together, Su Nian often makes coffee.Her craftsmanship is top-notch, Shen Chai loves to drink the coffee she makes, she says she loves it, but in fact she loves the way she makes coffee, elegant and peaceful.
When Su Nian made coffee for her before, she would hold her chin and stare at her.Sometimes Su Nian raised his head suddenly and looked at her bewildered eyes, always laughing out loud.
She looked at Su Nian quietly from the corner of her eyes, does she still remember? I remember one afternoon after another, I remember the cup after cup of coffee she made for her, maybe I don’t remember it.
Su Nian focused on the movements of her hands and never raised her head.
But she knew what Shen Chai was thinking even without raising her head, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth inadvertently.She and she have such a tacit understanding, she knows they must think of the same thing.
She walked to the living room with two cups of fragrant coffee, gently put one cup on the table, and pushed it in front of Shen Chai who was teasing Nana.
Two cups of coffee.What Shen Chai had in front of her was black coffee without sugar and milk, while her own was a cup of latte.
In the year since she left Su Nian, Shen Chai drank coffee almost every time. She was used to the coffee made by Su Nian, and she was no longer willing to settle for instant coffee.No, she would rather not drink.
Shen Chai smiled at Su Nian, then picked up the coffee cup decorated with delicate patterns in front of her and sipped lightly.
They didn't speak any more, as if they had condensed their complaints for more than a year in this cup of coffee.
Shen Chai gently stroked Nana on her lap, and it made a sound of 'nya' in enjoyment.
It was Su Nian who first broke the silence, "How have you been this year?"
'So be it. Shen Chai was perfunctory, she didn't want to imagine Su Nian talking about her pain and hardship after losing a hand.
She didn't want to make her sad, and she didn't want to see her sympathetic eyes.I don't even want to see her feel guilty, because this is her own choice, even if she can no longer paint, she will not regret it.She is hating, but she only hates her leaving silently.
She looked at her watch, it was almost six o'clock, and Xia Yu was almost home. 'It's getting late, if it's okay, I'll go back. '
Su Nian smiled, softly and sadly, "Aren't you going to stay for dinner? I'll cook what you like." '
'No. Shen Chai felt that it was meaningless for her to stay, which only added to the sadness of the two of them.
Su Nianqiang smiled and joked, "You are so anxious, if you don't know you, you would think you have a boyfriend waiting for you to go home."You are not young anymore, it is time to find a home. Su Nian suddenly realized that this was inappropriate. She seemed to be the destination that this person had identified.
Shen Chai stopped talking, she suddenly felt that she didn't want to wrong herself anymore, and she didn't want to open the wound that was about to heal.She picked up her bag, took one last look at Su Nian, changed her shoes and walked out the door.
Su Nian just sat on the sofa, staring blankly at her leaving, and didn't send her off.
The back of her when she left was still in her mind, and the door was still open.
Who is she doing this for? Who is she giving up for? That person will never know.
She was alone on the sofa, crying uncontrollably.
