When Shen Zhishu saw the person in front of him, he walked towards her with a happy face.
The corner of Wen Jiaojiao's mouth twitched slightly. He was really lucky. Why did he meet Shen Zhishu here?
"Didi! Your host Wen Ruyue's favorite person is right in front of you. Be happy! Talk to him quickly!"
Hearing Lao Liu start to make noise there again, Wen Jiaojiao lowered his head and took a breath. When he raised his head again, a standard fake smile was already on his face.
"To my brother! Why are you here?"
Shen Zhishu looked at the pretty little girl in red clothes in front of him, and couldn't help but smile in his eyes, "You have suffered a lot these days, and your health has not been good. I thought I would buy you something you like. I’ll bring the plaything to your house for you.”
With that said, Shen Zhishu returned to the counter and brought a box of items that the boy was about to pack in front of Wen Jiaojiao, "Take a look, do you like it?"
The boxes contain a variety of wooden carved toys.
Wen Jiaojiao took out a small bird made of wood carvings, and pressed a wooden bar at the back to spread the wings. It was exquisite and unique.
In addition to birds, there are also movable wooden sculpture toys made of various animals.
"like!"
Shen Zhishu looked down at the girl's round, bright eyes, which were slightly curved when she smiled. Her eyes were very big, but the ends of her eyes were slightly longer and slightly pointed, with a hint of indescribable allure.
It suddenly occurred to him that the little girl he had watched grow up was almost at the age of hairpins.
Shen Zhishu saw the clearness in the girl's eyes, and his heart softened. He reached out and rubbed her head, "I have always said that I would take you out for a walk, but your health has not been good. Now I see you You look good, would you like to write to my brother to take you to other places?"
Wen Jiaojiao: No thank you, I really don’t.
Lao Liu: "Host!"
Wen Jiaojiao: "...Okay."
"Fourth sister, look at this, the new building block style from the store, let's go back and build this together!"
Wen Zhao pulled out a large box from the shelf inside and held it in front of Wen Jiaojiao like a treasure.
Wen Jiaojiao herself is a fan of building blocks. These ancient building blocks are very different from modern building blocks. Various Luban locks are also a type of building blocks. For a salty fish like her, she specially uses this to pass the time.
Wen Zhao looked at Shen Zhishu beside Wen Jiaojiao and rolled his eyes, "Fourth sister, I will take these back first. You and the second brother of the Shen family can go shopping!"
After Wen Zhao finished speaking, he still praised himself in his heart for his sensibleness.
Wen Ruyue's fondness for Shen Zhishu and the special treatment she received from other men were something everyone in the house knew about.
Looking at Wen Zhao's innocent look, Wen Jiaojiao sighed inwardly and could only smile and said: "Then you go back first, I want to have a nice stroll with brother Zhi Shu."
.......
Half an hour later, Wen Jiaojiao was sitting in a small teahouse, feeling that his face was frozen with laughter.
Shen Zhishu pushed a plate of pastries in front of Wen Jiaojiao, "Come and try this. I remember that you liked this pastry the most when you were a child, and you always pestered me to bring it back to your house."
Wen Jiaojiao recalled it carefully in her mind. Wen Ruyue was very picky about food. She actually didn't like eating cakes very much. When she was a child, she saw that her father always bought various cakes and snacks for Wen Miaoran and the others. It's like a family.
She was sitting alone on the rockery and sulking. Shen Zhishu saw her. He saw the pink and jade-carved little doll sitting there with a very unhappy look on her face, so he stepped forward to ask.
Wen Ruyue had tears in her eyes, but she was very arrogant and refused to talk to Shen Zhishu. Finally, he knew the reason and bought her a lot of pastries for her to eat.
In fact, Wen Ruyue never lacked those things. She had everything she wanted. It was just the first time someone came to coax her like this and bought her the same cakes that her father gave to Wen Miaoran and the others.
This was different from her own mother coaxing her. The young man in front of her was not familiar with her, but he wanted to make her happy.
Wen Ruyue took only one bite of each pastry. In fact, the taste was not very good, but she just felt happy.
Later, Shen Zhishu often brought her these cakes and snacks. Wen Ruyue didn't like to eat them, but she would eat some.
What she likes is not these pastries, but the people in front of her.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at the sweet pastries in front of her. She was not picky about food and liked these exquisite and delicious foods, but she liked food, not Shen Zhishu.
Wen Jiaojiao picked up a cake in front of him and put it down again in front of Shen Zhishu.
Shen Zhishu watched Wen Jiaojiao put down the pastry and paused while pouring her tea, "Do you have no appetite?"
He remembered that every time he brought cakes to Wen Ruyue, she would eat them happily.
Wen Jiaojiao smiled lightly and shook his head, "Brother Zhi Shu, I used to like you to bring me these pastries, because dad always buys them for the second sister and the others, but never for me. He thinks I have everything, so I won’t be short of these little things.”
"So I'm very happy that you can bring me these pastries, but now I no longer envy my second sister for having these things. I find that I do have a lot more than her, and she should be envious of me."
Shen Zhishu was so smart that he immediately understood what Wen Jiaojiao meant.
Looking at the smile on Wen Jiaojiao's face, he suddenly felt that the sister Ruyue in front of him was different from before.
He still saw a happy look on his face, but her eyes no longer always chased him. He would sometimes see her distracted. When he called her, she immediately smiled happily at him.
He felt that this little girl had grown up, so she no longer clung to him.
But this subtle distance is not because she has grown up and understands the differences between men and women, but because her focus on him has gradually disappeared.
She no longer relies on him, or in other words, no longer needs him.
He could vaguely feel it these days, but every time he saw the happy smile on the little girl's face, whatever was wrong in his heart immediately disappeared.
He couldn't explain what this feeling was. Wen Ruyue had been calling him "Zhi Shu Gege" since he was a child. She was very cute and disliked everyone, but she was always happy when she saw him. He could feel that he was in her heart. It's special and unique.
But now, he can no longer feel this specialness and uniqueness, just like Wen Jiaojiao picking up and putting down pastries. When she was a child, she needed someone who could buy her pastries because her sister had them but she didn't.
As long as she moves her mouth, people will buy pastries for her in shops all over the capital. But she only needs one person who can take the initiative to buy these pastries for her. What is important is not the pastries, but the heart.
Now she no longer needs it, she has begun to understand her own identity and recognize herself, so she feels that the father's love that once belonged to Wen Miaoran is no longer important, because she also has something unique to her.
This understanding comes from her growth and understanding. She knows how to distinguish what belongs to her and what does not belong to her.
