Chapter 4 Chapter 1 The Blossom of the Prosperity

Every year, she doesn't know how to pass the long summer vacation. She goes to the most conservative girls' school in Hong Kong. She talks about boyfriends in a low voice, and even talks about movie stars in a low voice in code words in the classroom. Sixteen years old, after this summer vacation, she will enter the sixth form, and after the sixth form, she will go to university. She hopes to go to a foreign country, to a city with no relatives or friends, so that the sea and the sky will be open for her to fly. It was a hot afternoon that day, so she found a white shirt with a neckline that was too big to wear, and she wore a floral pleated skirt and a pair of small white socks underneath.She didn't have jeans, and the school thought perming her hair, wearing jeans, and listening to pop music was decadent.

Throughout the summer vacation, except for shutting herself in the room to watch, she was mentally asleep. When did she meet her affectionate Yang Guo?Yang Guo has been lonely since he was a child, but she will love him. Little Dragon Girl?she is not.She doesn't want to eat the fireworks in the world, she can't wait to taste the fireworks in the world. What has she been doing at school for the past two years?sleep. The book was too shallow, and the atmosphere was too boring. The students booed her if she asked any innovative questions. She realized that the teacher didn't want to answer, but because of the strict and conservative school ethos, the teacher always had a bit of embarrassment on his face when he was about to say something.

However, she knew that the teachers liked her, and she also knew that the teachers were only paid a meager salary. It is not so easy to find a job. Many teachers who come from the mainland and are qualified to teach in universities have no choice but to teach in private middle schools. She didn't want to embarrass the teacher, and didn't want to arouse the resentment of the classmates who saw a line of books and read a line of books, so she just dozed off every class. The classrooms other than dreamland and daydreams had nothing to do with her, anyway, she got good grades. Those textbooks can be remembered at a glance. Next year, I will spend an extra year in the sixth form, so I will sleep for an extra year.

She has been studying piano and ballet, and what the school hates the most is a close-fitting ballet dress. But she didn't care about it. At the graduation party next year, she planned to mobilize the whole class and put on a ballet. This summer vacation, she is planning how to make the class meeting pass this proposal, how to choreograph, edit music, build sets, costumes, and cast roles. Another very important point is how to ask dozens of classmates to support her and listen to her instructions. She seldom leaves the classroom during naps, and some students like to socialize in classrooms at all levels to consolidate their popularity on campus.

She has always ignored it, perhaps for this reason, the classmates pointed at her behind her back, saying that she is: "Proud Sheng Shihua." The father changed the name for her, because in ancient Chinese characters, Hua means flower, and the father hoped that his daughter would be a splendid flower in the prosperous age. Every time Sheng Shihua stepped out of the classroom, someone would watch her. She didn't realize it at all, she only felt that the female classmate's whispered lol during the nap time was incompatible with her, and she would rather sit in the classroom and continue to indulge in her little world.

Students in other classes often want to have a glimpse of her style, and it was her old friend Shui Wenjun who told her about it. This Shui Wenjun, two years older than her, is very tall, and he wanders around after a short rest. He is both coquettish and talkative, crying and laughing. On this annoyingly hot summer afternoon, Sheng Shihua was waiting for Shui Wenjun to bring someone. She can arrange the music all by herself, and the dance clothes are made by a classmate who can sew, but she needs a few oil paintings that are 20 feet high and 40 feet long as the background, who will paint them?

Fortunately, Shui Wenjun has acquaintances all over the world. She is a member of the "Youth Literature and Art Association", "Chinese Cultural Association", "Christian Association", and "Young Women's Association". She said that there was a painter who had just opened an art exhibition, which was quite good, let's see if he would like to paint. His name is Li Qi. Shui Wenjun arrived wearing a blue cloth cheongsam: "Shihua, I have to teach Sunday school today, so I have to wear my school uniform." Sheng Shihua's eyes were attracted by Li Qi: Shui Wenjun is already tall enough, he is a head taller than her, with raised eyebrows, high nose, and square chin, just like what she imagined in daydreams Yushu Linfeng is the same as Mr. Jia.

Next to Li Qi is a girl who is very fashionable, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a ponytail, a domineering look, transparent stockings and high heels, so that Sheng Shihua couldn't help but look at the pair of ancient short white socks on his feet And black thong little girl sneakers. Li Qi never dreamed that it was such a little girl who planned such a large-scale performance. He was tall, and from the angle he was standing, he could see a pair of pointed breasts the size of unripe peaches, a pink and snow-white neck and arms inside the big-collared shirt of this little girl.

Sheng Shihua's eyes flicked up from the fashionable girl to Li Qimei's face, and Li Qi seemed to see two black grapes in the crystal plate, black grapes full of jealousy. Li Qi smiled and sat down. It was a gum-chewing girl named Lucy, probably one of the Maryknoll girls, who were always the best dressed and had the best-looking boyfriends. Sheng Shihua didn't like to criticize Maryknoll's girls. Her younger sister also studied at Maryknoll, but she was only a primary school student. Shui Wenjun just ignored him, and cast winks at Li Qi one by one, Li Qi only looked at the calm and shy little girl.

"Li..." Sheng Shihua didn't know what to ask him to do. "Just call him Li Qi, Li Qi, you can call her Xiao Sheng." Shui Wenjun said, "Li Qi, listen to her." "What I want to arrange is that you know the story." Li Qi nodded. "Actually, I haven't learned the original ballet, I made it up myself." Sheng Shihua said. "Where's the music?" Li Qi asked. "It's not the original, I cut the music of Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Adam, Debussy and Chopin together." Sheng Shihua grinned her neat little white teeth, thinking it was quite interesting Smiling, "If these masters knew that I edited and spliced ​​their music like this, they would be so angry that they would turn over in the coffin!"

"Her ears are very good," Shui Wenjun said admiringly, "She cuts and cuts into any key very naturally, and it doesn't sound like a piece of it." "What set do you want?" "Oil painting." Sheng Shihua said, "twenty feet high and forty feet long." "How many hall views?" Li Qi asked. "A court painting, a forest scene, a dream, whatever you want to paint." "Where did such a big piece of cloth come from?" Shui Wenjun shouted. "I asked my classmates to buy white canvas, can I cut it into a big piece?" Sheng Shihua asked. "It's okay, I can't think of any other way." Li Qi was very surprised that this sixteen-year-old girl had planned so one and two, and her organizational skills were more mature than her age. "The forest scene should be painted in a scary way. I will appear on the stage, and I will be a witch!" Shui Wenjun said. "To be honest, I've never painted such a big oil painting." Li Qi couldn't help being amazed at his own bravery, but from the sixteen-year-old girl, he saw incomparable determination and fighting spirit, which seemed to give him a feeling that he had never seen before. Have self-confidence. And the jealousy she showed when she saw Lucy just now made him want to do something for her even more. "Okay, let's go, we have an appointment with Leimen." Lucy dragged Li Qi away impatiently. Li Qi turned his head to look at Sheng Shihua, his watery eyes were clear to the bottom, as if he was saying when will you come again?When are you coming again? In Li Qi's twenty-two years of life, there seemed to be no one who was so strange and so close. Li Qi and Lucy left, Shui Wenjun and Sheng Shihua ran back to the room. There was no one around, Shui Wenjun was lying on the carpet laughing wantonly, his big breasts trembling with laughter, and a pair of big feet kicking back and forth in the air. "I can be a witch! I can be a witch!" Sheng Shihua glanced out of the corner of his eye, the door was half-opened, and his mother came back. Seeing Shui Wenjun's legs that were kicking wildly, he hurriedly called her: "Sit up quickly, you can see your panties!" "Wow!" Shui Wenjun yelled, "You are so bad, look at people's underwear!" "Who saw yours? You kicked it out yourself!" As soon as Mrs. Sheng entered the door, she heard Shui Wenjun screaming, and hurried into her daughter's room to see what happened. "Auntie!" Mr. Shui Wen was already sitting on the chair solemnly. "What was it called just now?" "It's nothing, Auntie, I accidentally bumped my head on Xiao Sheng's bookshelf." "Stay with me for dinner?" asked Mrs. Sheng. "I want to, but Mom won't let me come home at night." "Then listen to your mother." Mrs. Sheng said, "Talk first. I don't allow Shihua to go around at night, unless it's a classmate's house." As soon as Mrs. Sheng walked away, Sheng Shihua immediately closed the door. "Ah Shui, your mother often forbids you to go out, how can you make so many friends?" "So I want to join so many groups, you can join too." "I'm not as enthusiastic as you, and I can chat with anyone for a long time." "Li Qi likes you very much!" Shui Wenjun said. Sheng Shihua's face was slightly hot: "We met for a while, and he has a girlfriend again." "There are many girls around him, I just don't know if he counts Lucy as his girlfriend." "What is he doing now?" "Nothing to do, just paint and help out with his teacher, he has no money to go to college." "University fees are not expensive in Hong Kong. Does he have to work to support his family?" "Family? As long as he has a family, his mother has gone somewhere for a long time, and his father doesn't know what he does. He rented a small apartment and left his four siblings there." "Is he the boss?" "yes." "Want to raise younger siblings?" "He can't support himself. The brothers and sisters each take care of themselves. They live day by day, and they don't see each other very often." "Why does he look like a son-in-law?" "It's really painful for people to look good and live through life experience!" Soon, Sheng Shihua's other three good friends came. One is Chubby, the best in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but he is dull. One is Fang Yi, who grew up with Sheng Shihua, who was most afraid of her harshness. One is Gao Yingying, a little taller than Shui Wenjun, five feet eighty-nine inches, tall and beautiful, with short hair, sharp and tough like a boy. She is Sheng Shihua's ideal candidate for the leading role. Since it is an all-girls school, it had no choice but to find tall and strong female students to be the male roles. "We found someone to paint the scenery! That boy is so handsome! I met him at the Chinese Cultural Association." Shui Wenjun danced, "Our school's unprecedented great dance drama was born!" "Now... it's still summer vacation," Fatty said, "School has started, and there is still a class meeting... um... the class meeting is passed, and the teacher passes." "I pass! I pass!" Shui Wenjun raised his hand and said. "I don't care. If you pass it, you can jump. If you don't pass it, you don't jump." Although Gao Yingying is tall and healthy, she has no idea. "Xiao Sheng, can't you do a solo dance by yourself?" Fatty said. "Yeah, no one can dance better than you anyway, even if the teacher chooses you, he will definitely choose you, every year is yours!" Gao Yingying said. "I want everyone to do something that everyone has a share in before graduation. It's boring to dance alone." Sheng Shihua said. "It's true that you want to be the commander-in-chief!" Fang Yi said coldly, "You like to let the whole team give you command." Sheng Shihua put up with her words, they have been in the same class since the third grade, and Shihua has always loved her for her intelligence. "No, Xiao Sheng has good intentions, otherwise I wouldn't have a witch!" Shui Wenjun immediately stood by Sheng Shihua's side. Fang Yi ignored her. "Xiao Sheng, I will definitely support you, but..." Fatty looked at his round and short figure, "Of course I can't dance." "I will definitely be your hero, if the class will pass." Gao Yingying said. "You're all a little worried, aren't you?" Sheng Shihua said to Pangpang and Gao Yingying. "Hmm..." Fatty would do anything for Sheng Shihua, but she couldn't help her much when it came to talking. "Just because of your popularity? Do you think you can get the whole class to agree with your plan?" Sheng Shihua hates Fang Yi so much, but loves Fang Yi so much, because she often hits the nail on the head.This time she also put up with Fang Yi's words. "I will continue to make preparations. I have already done everything when the school starts. People who hate me probably have no reason to oppose me." Sheng Shihua turned his eyes and said to Fang Yi, "I want to create, I want to try, Should I be smothered?" "We won't be suffocated!" Shui Wenjun shouted. After the girls left, Sheng Shihua became more determined to give it a try. What's more, there is also Li Qi, he looked back, for him, for this person who agreed to draw her dreams for her as soon as they met. Perhaps, she drew him into a dream. After Li Qi left, Sheng Shihua kept recalling that face. She remembered his two flying and elegant eyebrows, and the high nose bridge had an inconspicuous knot, but it did not detract from his handsome aura. She always liked boys with high noses, although she had never had a boyfriend. She also remembered his square jaw, slightly sunken in the middle, like a foreigner. As for his eyes, Sheng Shihua didn't dare to stare at him to see clearly. It took courage to look at each other. But how much she regretted not seeing Li Qi's eyes clearly. What shape are his lips?She didn't have the guts to look closely, she was afraid that Li Qi would see that she wanted to see him. She was so annoyed that she couldn't build a face she was beginning to miss. She even doubted whether Li Qi remembered her appearance. In her daydreams in the classroom, on the bed at night, she fantasized that she fell in love a hundred times, and fell in love a hundred times in a world-shattering way. In real life, however, she never went on a single date. She knew that some of the older female students had boyfriends, but in the conservative campus, no one talked about it, and since she was young, no one talked to her about these things. She only felt that her body was about to explode, just like her increasingly swollen chest, last year's clothes made it hard for her to breathe. Which prince will rescue the little princess trapped in the castle, and carry her on a white horse to gallop away? The summer vacation passed in a dull way. I went on a river cruise with my family and went to the aristocratic Hong Kong country club. There is a well-connected young boy that the parents of the Sheng family like, good family, good education, but they are all played with since childhood, like their brothers, interesting, but not exciting, not romantic. Sometimes the children of the Sheng family would board the cruise ship of another family, and sometimes the children of the other family would board the cruise ship of the Sheng family. On the surface, they seemed to be a group of heaven's favored children, in a wealthy and elegant greenhouse, looking down on everything, but Shihua was so lonely. "I wouldn't send my daughter out on an appointment without a Rolls-Royce to pick her up." Once on a cruise ship, Aunt Wu said this to Mrs. Sheng. "It doesn't have to be a Rolls-Royce, but the boy must be a good family." Mrs. Sheng said, "I don't need my daughter to marry a rich man, but I can't have promiscuity." "Girls don't pay close attention, they are easy to fall!" Aunt Wu said. "Of course, Shihua won't hand over those dubious boys with unknown origins." Mrs. Sheng said. Sheng Shihua didn't think so, Yang Guo also had an unknown origin! "It's not that we look down on people. During the Anti-Japanese War, we all endured it." Aunt Wu said, "We have endured hardships, and we don't know if we can keep today or tomorrow, so we don't want our daughter to suffer." Aunt Wu's family was born in a family of KMT officials. In 1940, she was already an international student at the aristocratic women's university in the United States, where Soong Meiling's sisters studied. "If it wasn't for Zhan Luan, I wouldn't have married Mr. Wu either." Aunt Wu's family is from a noble family in Guangzhou, and her father is an official. Naturally, she doesn't think highly of the Wu family who built their family from scratch in Hong Kong. Mr. Ng was born in his father's generation, and his family wealth has accumulated more and more. He is a wealthy family in Hong Kong. The Kuomintang has lost power, and the lady of the official's family has to find a lot of money to marry, so there is nothing to do. In fact, Mr. Wu is the second generation of the upstarts in Hong Kong. His family are all overseas students from Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, and Princeton. Mrs. Sheng is from Shanghai St. John's University, and Mr. Sheng is from Stanford. Beyond their world, they are not unkind, but feel that it is a little unfortunate. Of course, as mothers who love their children, their children cannot be unfortunate. "Girls should be pure and pure, and don't let boys touch them randomly, otherwise, how dare you send your daughter to a good family." Aunt Wu said. "It's not just because of this. My daughter's family needs to respect themselves, and it's not expensive enough to be petted casually." Mrs. Sheng said. Sheng Shihua was used to listening to the gossip of her mother and her family aunts since she was a child. She didn't care who she married, as long as it was her beloved. She doesn't want to be touched by others, but in daydreams, she often longs for a pair of gentle hands to gently touch every inch of her skin. She is so willing to let a warm body lean against her, but she is so afraid of physical contact between men and women.The prince and princess in the fairy tale world are at most touching hands, and after that there is a mystery, which is beyond her imagination. How much she wished that Li Qi would appear on the cruise ship one day, he would be more handsome and handsome than all the young men. She tried to dial his number, and she was frightened while dialing. The bell rang three times, and she was so frightened that she dropped the receiver. One day, Pangpang and Pangpang went to watch a movie at 2:30, and they met Li Qi. There was still Lucy by his side, and a few very fashionable and beautiful girls. Although Chubby was short and fat, and had long since given up the extravagant hope of being a tall and handsome boy, he still greeted Li Qi shyly, embarrassedly, with a half-smile. Li Qi said "Hi" in high spirits. Sheng Shihua's heart was pounding, but he just greeted him reservedly. After passing by, Sheng Shihua really wanted to look back at Li Qi, but he was a little bit unwilling, so he continued walking with Pangpang as if nothing happened. "Why...how...I mean, why don't you say a word to anyone?" Fatty stammered, "after all, he agreed to paint the scenery for us." Sheng Shihua was so angry that he had nowhere to vent it, so he had to vent it on Pangpang: "If you want to say it, why didn't you say it? You laughed like a mummy just now!" "You ask Shui Wenjun to invite him... um... let's play together." Chubby also likes good-looking boys. "Who wants to ask him out? Who wants to see him?" While Sheng Shihua was losing his temper, he felt a little guilty. After all, she secretly called. She felt betrayed by telling lies to Pang Pang's loyal old friend. "Fatty, come to my house for dinner." Sheng Shihua said with apology. "OK!" Pang Pang is straightforward, how could he have thought that Sheng Shihua had already turned so many corners in his heart. The Sheng family's car arrived, and Sheng Da just happened to be in the car after visiting Central. One of the ways she keeps her daughter in check is to have her daughter come in and out by the driver. She welcomes her daughter's classmates very much, they are all little girls whom she watched grow up anyway. "School starts tomorrow, go to bed early tonight." "Yes, Auntie, I'll be home early." Fatty said. Back home, Sheng Shihua and Pangpang were relatively silent. Fat Pang is not very talkative at all, and sometimes Sheng Shihua called her home, and she was so bored to death. Just as he was regretting inviting Pangpang home, the servant ran into Sheng Shihua's room and said: "Miss, a Mr. Li is looking for you." "Find me? Listen to the phone?" "No, Mr. Li is in the living room, the one who came here a while ago." Pang Pang looked happy, and Sheng Shihua regretted inviting Pang Pang back when he was full of surprises. Pangpang is an honest person who doesn't know what is good or bad, anyway, she will follow Sheng Shihua wherever he goes. At last he is here!At last he is here! Give me some time, give me some time to be alone with Li Qi! "Fatty, can you stay in my room?" "Why do you want me to stay in your room?" "Think about how to pass the plan in the class meeting for me. If you raise your hand to negotiate, it will be easier for the classmates. They trust you, think about it, think about it." Pangpang was a little disappointed, but felt that he really needed to use his brains for his old friend, so he stayed in the room a little bit aggrieved. Sheng Shihua hurriedly ran down the stairs leading to the main hall from the second floor. When he turned a corner, he couldn't help slowing down, because his mother was already sitting opposite Li Qi. Li Qi was still wearing the clothes he met at the entrance of the theater just now, a crisp white shirt and white trousers. Mrs. Sheng was smiling, and Sheng Shihua was relieved, at least Li Qi did not give her a bad impression during the first inspection by his mother. "Shihua, talk to me, I'm going upstairs." Shanda probably approved it. "Xiao Sheng, why didn't you seem to recognize me just now?" "It was too hasty just now, and you have so many girlfriends around." "It's just a close friend, who said I have a girlfriend?" "Doesn't that count?" "They asked me to go to the movies with them. If I have time, I will go with them. It's better than going alone." "Actually, I should call to thank you for agreeing to paint the scenery for us, but I..." Sheng Shihua's snow-white and tender skin turned red from his face to his neck. "You haven't told me when work will start." "I don't know until I pass the class meeting, so I don't know what to say to you when I call." "You can say anything, for example, let's go hiking, let's go swimming, let's go watch a movie...you are so reserved." "I didn't know being human could be so free." "How old are you? Shui Wenjun told me that you are only sixteen years old, why do you have the appearance of penance like a general from heaven?" "I'm serious about ballet, that's my dream." "Why fight against those nuns in your school?" "Those are not nuns, we are a Christian school." "I will draw for you wherever you dance, not necessarily at school." "Aren't you worried about anything?" "What are you worried about? Anyway, since I was a child, I have been precarious. If I have food today, I don't know if I will have food tomorrow. If I have money to pay the tuition this month, I don't know if I will have the money to pay the tuition next month." "Is your father ignoring you?" "He can't take care of himself, forget it." Li Qi is free and at ease, without complaint or hatred, he is a type of person Sheng Shihua has never seen before. The people around her have everything, but they are so nervous about everything. "The mountain behind your house is very beautiful, let's climb it." Li Qi stretched out his long arms and big palms, and Sheng Shihua couldn't help putting her little lily-like hands into his big hands. Oh, it's so warm and powerful. Li Qi pulled Sheng Shihua, ran across the garden of her house, and then circled to the hillside behind, like a crazy horse. Sheng Shihua felt like a bird out of the cage, flying with a roc. When he ran to a boulder with nowhere to run and no branches to climb, Li Qi stopped, sweat beaded all over his face, he unbuttoned his chest indifferently, and rolled up his muddy white clothes. Sleeves, a mess of hair flying in the setting sun. "Xiao Sheng, are you happy?" "happy." "Then what else do we need?" "us?" "I, you, aren't we?" Sheng Shihua threw herself into his sweaty chest, wanting to cry. This was the first time she hugged the body of the opposite sex and sniffed the male sweat. She didn't know why she felt sad, only a feeling of sadness came from it. It was a feeling of love, but she was afraid of falling in love with someone. After all, her youthful life had just begun, and she still had many adventures in her mind. It seemed that she and Li Qi were destined to separate when their bodies were stuck together. This brought tears to her eyes, but she still held back. Sheng Shihua lowered his head and let go of Li Qi's arms, but Li Qi didn't let her leave his body for an inch. He hugged her tightly in his arms and kissed her long straight hair lightly. The upturned eyelashes like a doll, and the cute little mouth with the corners of the mouth turned up slightly. Sheng Shihua raised his head shyly, his clear and beautiful eyes, like those found in the Crystal Palace, contained pure affection. Li Qi knew that she was inexperienced. Yet he has uncontrollable urges. "Xiao Sheng, touch me!" Li Qi begged involuntarily: "touch me!" Sheng Shihua had never touched a man's erect penis in his life, so he backed away in embarrassment. The stone they were standing on was only the size of a round table for six people, and Sheng Shihua couldn't retreat any further. "Xiao Sheng, turn your back, turn your back!" Li Qi cried out in pain, he really couldn't bear it anymore. Sheng Shihua turned his back obediently. She didn't know why Li Qi asked her to turn her back, why she just had to turn her back to solve everything. Li Qi was at the end of the boulder towards the mountain, only three or four steps away from her. After a while, Sheng Shihua heard Li Qi let out a sigh of relief. "come over." Li Qi said with a sigh. Sheng Shihua turned around with a dazed expression on his face. Li Qi picked a small white five-petal flower on the side of the mountain, and gently placed it in Sheng Shihua's hands. "Here you are, that's you." Li Qi is a wild child with natural temperament, he has never seen such a delicate flower like Sheng Shihua that he is not willing to touch. Looking at the blood-red clouds in the distance and the setting sun covering the ends of the earth, Li Qi's big hand held Sheng Shihua's small hand tightly. His hands are hot. Her hands were cold. The two stared blankly at the cloud changing from red to purple, from purple to gray, and the surroundings began to darken. "I'm going home." Sheng Shihua woke up suddenly, it was already dinner time, she had never tried to disappear during dinner time without telling her mother. Li Qi first jumped off the boulder where he could barely reach his feet, grabbed onto a branch with one hand, and grabbed Sheng Shihua who was still on the rock with his other hand and hugged him down. "How to get down?" Sheng Shihua saw that there was no road below. "How did we get here just now?" Li Qi asked her playfully. "I didn't pay attention, I just ran and crawled after you." "Run, climb, and slip down the mountain with me now, okay?" Sheng Shihua smiled with big eyes, and Li Qi also smiled, but he was full of confidence, and he was used to running around since he was a child. Li Qi protected Sheng Shihua and slipped down the mountain, climbing, rolling and stumbling, Li Qi was covered in mud, Sheng Shihua's skirt had already been scratched in several places by branches and stones, his hands, feet and feet were covered with sand and mud . At the foot of the mountain, when he saw the brightly lit mansion, Sheng Shihua didn't know how to explain it to his mother, so he had to say to Li Qi: "I'll go home by myself, you don't have to see me off." Ji Qi bent down his tall body and kissed Sheng Shihua's pale pink lips. "When will you see me again?" Sheng Shihua asked. Li Qi's face showed vicissitudes that shouldn't be there at his age: "Anytime, or never." "why?" "Because I will always think of you. Because... goodbye!" Li Qi turned around and ran, his slender figure, his white clothes that were still white after being stained with mud, looked like a fine horse in the gloomy sky. Sheng Shihua watched him run down the avenue, feeling desolate in his heart. How much does she know about him?However, he seemed to be so kind to her. Does he belong to her? He tried his best to clean off the sand and mud on his body, turned up the clean corner of his skirt, wiped the sweat off his face, and combed his messy hair with ten fingers.She tried her best to become a normal young lady of the Sheng family and walked home. Rubbing up her skirt to wipe her face was something my mother had never allowed to do, but there was nothing else to do. When they entered the dining room, the whole family was already eating. That's Mrs. Sheng's rule, dinner is at eight o'clock, and no child is allowed to be late. Mrs. Sheng was surprised to see her daughter's disheveled appearance. "Shihua, where did you go?" "I... I went back to climb the mountain." Pangpang is also at the dining table, holding his rice bowl at a loss, neither eating nor putting down his rice bowl. fat!Shihua simply forgot to leave Pangpang at home. Mrs. Sheng sized Shihua up, and couldn't help feeling angry: "Who did you go climbing with? Made your skirt dirty and messy?" "Auntie, I think she went alone. Normally, we, we...I mean, I, Shui Wenjun, Gao Yingying and Xiaosheng also...to climb...the mountain together." Fatty, who never lied, made up some words for her old friend that even she herself did not believe. "What mountain to climb? There's no way!" Mrs. Sheng interrogates her daughter. "Because there is no road, we only climb a section on the hillside on weekdays." Shihua said, "Today I want to climb higher, but Fatty dare not go, so I go alone." "Yes, auntie, I'm not brave enough, Shihua insisted on going, I...I dare not go with her." Fatty said bravely, "So, she went alone." "What are you doing up the mountain with Li Qi?" Mrs. Sheng simply ignored her daughter and Pang Pang's singing. Shihua knew that there was no escape, and her mother was always shrewd. But Fatty was stunned, looking at Shihua with round eyes like longan, as if asking, what should I do? "I asked Li Qi to enjoy the forest scenery. He said the forest behind my house was beautiful, so I took him up the mountain to see it." Shihua didn't want to evade any more, "Mom, you said there is no road, so you have to go up and down I can't come, so I made it like this." "Li Qi is not young, is he?" Mrs. Sheng asked. "He is twenty-two." Fatty said. Shihua glared at her. "Where did he go to college?" Mrs. Sheng asked. "He didn't go to college." Fatty said. Shi Hua stared at her anxiously. "Let's finish this meal first." Father Sheng became impatient, he had never seen Li Qi before, so he didn't know what Li Qi was. "Go and wash your hands and face before sitting down to eat." Mrs. Sheng ordered her daughter. Shihua hurriedly washed his hands and face, thinking about it. She sat down obediently, took a few mouthfuls of food and said to Mrs. Sheng. "Fatty wants to stay in my room tonight." With Pangpang as a talisman, the mother's interrogation can be saved a bit. She was afraid that Fatty would not understand, so she kicked her lightly at the bottom of the cabinet. "What are you kicking me for?" Fatty muttered inexplicably. "Shihua, don't play tricks, Pangpang never said that he wanted to stay at our house tonight." Mrs. Sheng said, "Isn't school starting tomorrow?" Shihua reluctantly ate half a bowl of rice like sitting on pins and needles.Pang Pang picked up three big bowls, he was still a bit hungry at first, but seeing the situation was wrong, he was not in the mood to eat again. When Pang Pang said goodbye, she looked at Shi Hua with concern, Shi Hua held Pang Pang's hand tightly, where she gained a little bit of alliance strength, and a little bit of strength to face her mother later. "Shihua, go take a shower and come to my room." Mrs. Sheng said. Shihua could have taken a refreshing shower, but she chose the bathtub. A large tank of cold water was placed, and the dust and broken leaves left on the body floated a film on the water. She splashed water mixed with dust and broken leaves on her face.It was the dust and broken leaves from her and Li Qi's world. "us?" "I, you, aren't we?" She treasured the little white flower hidden in her clothes by the side of the bathtub. "When will you see me again?" "Anytime, or never." "why?" "Because I will always think of you." The conversation played over and over in her head like a tape. She couldn't turn her back on Li Qi. Making up her mind, she put on a long white nightgown trimmed with small flowers and went to her mother's room. Mrs. Sheng was sitting on the couch in front of the bedroom window, and Father Sheng went to his study to read. "What does Li Qi do?" "You talked to him this afternoon, didn't you know?" "I just chatted with him a few times. Seeing how gentle he is, I thought he was a college student who came back from a foreign country for summer vacation." "He's a painter." "What is a painter?" "He draws very well." "Have you seen?" "No." "Then you lose your soul when you see someone handsome?" "He's nice." "How can I practice the law? I don't study and I don't do anything." "His family environment is not good, and he is unable to go to college. He is helping his teacher in the painting garden." "There are so many scholarships and bursaries. If he wants to go to school, how can he not study?" "He likes to draw." "Of course, that's an optional thing to do, the best excuse for doing nothing." "Mom, he's not idle, he has to support himself." "Where are his parents?" "Mom is gone, and father doesn't support them." "Where does he live?" "Shau Kei Wan." At that time, Shau Kei Wan was poor. There were only some factories and dilapidated houses there. "How do you know him?" "It was Mr. Shui Wen who introduced him to paint the scenery for our dance drama. He didn't charge us any money, he just volunteered to help." "So you don't need to see him much, do you?" "There's nothing you don't need." "I don't see any need." Sheng Shihua remained silent. "Shihua, you're a strong girl. I'm not talking about Li Qi. He was never disciplined since he was a child, and you don't know him very well. How do you know if he has any mischievous girls outside? Ghost?" "He said he didn't have a girlfriend." "Of course he said that, if he has some girls who wait around, can you bear it?" "I don't believe he has." "Then you like him." Mrs. Sheng sighed, "Do you trust him just because you met him once or twice?" "Mom, he never said he would see me again." "People may not take you seriously. Shihua, you are still young, these rambunctious boys are not worthy of your seriousness." "I didn't take it seriously." Sheng Shihua thought of the little white flower she hid in the bathroom, and she didn't know whether she was serious or not. In her usual daydreams, she was very affectionate and chic. "You will meet a lot of boys, so choose slowly. Girls should be pure and pure, and they can fall in love, but they can't give their body to others. The virgin body is reserved for the husband. Boys will be impulsive, Clear your mind." "What if I don't love my future husband? And leave my body to him?" "Shihua, of course you will love your future husband." "Mom, if I never meet a husband I love, will I have to be a virgin all my life?" "Stop asking hypothetical questions, I won't answer you." "Mom, being a virgin is a bondage, why should a man require his wife to be a virgin? He doesn't have to be a virgin, it doesn't make sense!" "I'm not arguing with you about these issues. I'm telling you to respect yourself. Some men are not worth it. Shihua, Mom is just borrowing you." Mrs. Sheng held her daughter in her arms and kissed her. Shihua still looks very childish, but she knows that there are thousands of weird thoughts in her head.
