Chapter 682
It's already winter now.
It rarely rains heavily in this season, but today's rain felt like summer.
The strong wind whipped the rain onto the glass windows.
This made Gu Ruojiao's mood even worse.
The movements she drew were very urgent and irritable, and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
Shen Shi and Gu Ruojiao have been together for three months.
Her mood is calm most of the time.
The colors commonly used in painting tend to be bright and vivid, showing her mood.
But today she was very unusual. She used black paint as soon as she came on.
As she started writing faster, the content on the canvas became clearer.
Shen Shi narrowed his eyes: "Does Jiaojiao often paint paintings with dark tones like this?"
Mother Gu shook her head: "No."
There was a pause.
Mother Gu: "But it would be more frequent a few months ago."
Shen Shi: “Can I take a look?”
Mother Gu: "Okay."
Mother Gu led Shen Shi through the specially opened small door to the next room.
This place is larger than the studio, and all Gu Ruojiao's paintings are stored, and they are stored according to time.
But Mother Gu couldn't remember the specific time at once.
Just when I was about to look for it, I heard the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground suddenly from the studio next door.
Shen Shi immediately ran to the studio.
The easel fell to the ground, and Gu Ruojiao was huddled in the corner shaking with a paintbrush.
"Jiaojiao!" He immediately ran to her side.
Just as he was about to reach out to touch her, she shrank even further in fear, leaning against the wall and trembling.
Shen Shi's heart suddenly clenched.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's me, Jiaojiao."
He tried to keep his voice as calm and gentle as possible.
Mother Gu also spoke softly next to her.
But the little poor boy seemed to be caught in some terrible scene. He pinched the brush so hard that his fingertips turned white.
No matter how Shen Shi and Gu's mother called, she had no response.
Mother Gu cried anxiously: "What on earth is going on? Why is this happening again?!"
Shen Shi: "Has this happened to her before?"
Mother Gu: "That was when she was twelve or thirteen years old."
She had such a stress reaction when she was bullied while studying.
In other words, she was stimulated by something again!
After hearing this, Shen Shi immediately pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, regardless of her desperate struggles.
"It's me, Jiaojiao, it's okay, don't be afraid."
But she couldn't listen, so she beat and kicked him with her hands and feet.
Shen Shi didn't seem to feel any pain, he just held her to prevent her from hurting herself.
While comforting her in a gentle voice: "It's okay, it's okay, be good, don't be afraid."
"It's okay, I'm here, just look at me." He comforted her with his voice while attracting her attention.
It took several minutes for her to calm down.
But her body was still trembling slightly, and she squeezed Shen Shi's clothes tightly.
"Afraid."
She opened her mouth.
"Afraid."
But he kept repeating the word 'fear'.
Mother Gu stood by and covered her mouth tightly, not daring to cry.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here, do you know who I am, Jiaojiao?"
Shen Shi patted her back and kept emphasizing his identity to divert her attention.
Perhaps it was because his shoulders were very broad, or perhaps because his embrace was too warm, Gu Ruojiao's mood finally calmed down.
Her eyelashes were wet, and a small teardrop hung in the corner of her eye.
Shen Shi gently wiped away the tears and tentatively took the brush away from her hand.
She didn't struggle, just buried her face in his chest.
