Deer in the forest in early autumn

Hello, dark circles!
Shen Yanqiu looked at himself in the mirror.

The messy pink hair looked like it had exploded, and it looked like a giant pink mushroom.
What time did I go to bed yesterday to earn the national treasure-level dark circles? My face is bright white, matched with loose cartoon giraffe pajamas.

Shen·Alien Visitor·Mushroom Yanqiu?
At this time, bubbles were still coming out of the blue and white toothbrush in her hand.

"A-choo" Shen Yanqiu couldn't help but sneeze. Who is thinking about me, a mushroom, so early in the morning?
Shaking his head, Shen Yanqiu finished washing up carefully. "I'd better drink a cup of warm water to calm my nerves." Shen Yanqiu suppressed his wild thoughts and went to the kitchen and turned on the kettle.

Watching the warm water slowly pour into the glass, she slowly opened her sleepy eyes and couldn't help yawning.

At this time, it was on the beige coffee table in the living room.
The pink piggy bank online is purring in the phone.
Suddenly, a voice of "Congratulations to the master for his new achievement" was heard, causing it to move on the spot.

Shen Yanqiu was shocked when she heard this. After she recovered, she hurried back to the living room.

"Could it be... myself... as expected hahahaha" Shen Yanqiu smiled with narrowed eyes. She picked up her phone and saw the piggy bank shaking inside, and she knew that she had saved up enough for her first pot of gold.

This is the hard-earned money I saved from drawing day and night.

"To celebrate earning my first small sum of 10 yuan in my life, why don't I go to the zoo to see the giraffes today!" Shen Yanqiu was very happy looking at the piggy bank on his mobile phone.

Afternoon, F City Zoo.
At the ticket office, Shen Yanqiu received an apology text message from Fang Cheng saying that he had something urgent to do.

Fang Cheng is a 36th-tier female artist and it is rare for her to receive an audition notice.
Leaving yourself alone is understandable.

Drink the last sip of yogurt.
Shen Yanqiu bought a ticket and entered the zoo alone.

This is Shen Yanqiu's first visit to this newly opened zoo.
I have to say that the builders were quite thoughtful. They designed two rows of tall poplar trees and many animal-shaped bushes at the entrance.

In the center is a small fountain with several white elephants playing around, looking vivid and the water is crystal clear.

When she walked over to the zoo's guide map, she found that several interesting areas were directly marked there.
Wonderful Ocean Park, Fantasy Bird House, Animal Baby Park, Giraffe House, Monkey Mountain, Alpaca World, Kangaroo Kingdom, etc.

Shen Yanqiu took a look at the guide map, selected a route, and started walking around the zoo.

The world is really amazing.
When Shen Yanqiu saw the chimpanzee on the other side of the glass scratching its head and closing its eyes in an adorable manner, he laughed happily.

Passing by the baby animal park, there was a cute little lion with a round head and a round brain drinking from a bottle. Shen Yanqiu thought it was extremely cute.

When Shen Yanqiu arrived at the giraffe's house, there were a few curling clouds in the clear sky.

Everything seems like a fairy tale world.
Several giraffes were strolling leisurely in the fence. They were of different heights, with beautiful patterns on their bodies. They had a pair of small horns on their heads and a pair of smart round eyes. They must have been elves transformed in the ancient forest a long time ago.

Shen Yanqiu couldn't help but think of the first time his father took him to the zoo when he was a child. He told him that this very tall animal was called a giraffe.

At that time, the little girl could never forget the sight of such a tall animal.
Now, time flies, and Dad has become a star in the sky.
She sometimes felt extremely lonely, but whenever she saw a giraffe, she felt as if her father had returned to her.

"Hey, giraffes!" The radio at the Giraffe House was playing.
Most of the visitors to the giraffe house in the park flocked to the place where food for the giraffes was sold after hearing the announcement.

Get an orange carrot.
Shen Yanqiu just remembered that he had gone to great lengths to buy this carrot.

Is it so difficult to grab a carrot these days?
Looking at the carrots that he had finally grabbed, Shen Yanqiu felt that it was worth it.

She picked up the carrot and walked to the giraffe enclosure. The giraffes inside opened their eyes wide when they saw the carrot.
At this time, a giraffe lowered its neck, and its blue tongue had already taken a bite of the carrot in Shen Yanqiu's hand. The crisp chewing sound echoed in her ears.

Before the giraffe knew it, the carrot had been eaten by the giraffe.
Shen Yanqiu was a little depressed.

At this time, a carrot was handed to her.
Shen Yanqiu was surprised, turned around and was stunned.

"Sister Xiaoqiu, what a coincidence!" A little boy wearing a cool pullover said every word in a cool and affectionate manner.

"Are you, Nan Wu?" Shen Yanqiu was a little uncertain.
This person looks like he has some outline of a child, but I'm still not sure.

He looks tall and straight, with a hint of cunning between his eyebrows.
With curly brown hair and a small mole on the tip of his nose, the little boy in front of me looks about thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Sister Xiaoqiu, it's me, Lin Nanwu. When we were little, you told me that I played the wrong notes in the black key exercises." Lin Nanwu was a little shy. Hearing this, Shen Yanqiu confirmed that the child in front of her was Lin Nanwu whom she had seen when she was little.
"Sister Xiaoqiu, please feed the giraffe with my carrots!"
"No need, Brother Nanwu." Shen Yanqiu was about to refuse.

"Qiuqiu, there is another basket." A magnetic and deep voice sounded beside Shen Yanqiu. Lin Sen'an put the basket of carrots in front of Shen Yanqiu.
"……"Why does this person always appear around me recently!
Shen Yanqiu glanced at Lin Sen'an coldly.
"No thanks." He tried his best to keep a calm look on his face.

Just as Shen Yanqiu was about to leave, two people, one tall and one short, followed him, as if he had a little tail.

"Sister Xiaoqiu, please help me feed the giraffe! There are too many carrots in this basket, can you help me?" Lin Nanwu knew that Sister Xiaoqiu would always respond to soft words and not hard ones.

"Okay." Shen Yanqiu shook his head, ignoring Lin Sen'an's smiling face. After all, feeding a giraffe is so irresistible.

"Qiuqiu, Nanwu is coming to F City for the holiday, but she hasn't found a piano teacher yet. How about you come to our house and teach Nanwu piano?"
Lin Sen'an asked suddenly.
"One month is enough. Two hours a day. The salary is 2 yuan."
Seeing Shen Yanqiu still hesitating.

"The salary is 20,000."
"Deal!" Shen Yanqiu knew that it was not difficult to give Lin Nanwu piano tutoring for a month. He was just hesitant because he would have to see Lin Sen'an from time to time.

“Making money is king.”
Shen Yanqiu was thinking when he looked up and saw Lin Sen'an smiling. Under the bright sunshine, his eyes were hiding a gentle smile.

"Sister Xiaoqiu, I'm so happy. I can see you every day."
Lin Nanwu held Shen Yanqiu's hand and swayed back and forth like a naughty monkey.

"Qiuqiu, add me on WeChat." Lin Sen'an raised his hand and handed over his phone.

Shen Yanqiu knew that Lin Sen'an had cleared his WeChat account three years ago, so now she could only scan the QR code.
A new friend with the avatar of the deep blue sea and the nickname Yu was added to the list.

"Long time no see, my dear Qiuqiu."
New information popped up.
Shen Yanqiu blushed when she saw this, and felt like she was about to explode! She quickly replied...
I put away my phone guiltily.

Lin Sen'an is the Islet God, the Islet God of the Sen Team. He is the Islet God that Chengzi talks about every day. Shen Yanqiu coughed lightly a few times, trying to resolve the embarrassment in front of him.
"Lin Sen'an...can I have your autograph?"
"Okay." The smile in the corner of that person's eyes was like peach blossoms in March.

Shen Yanqiu didn't expect that he would receive the address sent by Lin Sen'an in just one day: No. 99 Beiyuan.
I had heard about the luxury of Beiyuan long before I came to City F. Sure enough, there were many rockeries and lush precious trees along the way.

The Lin family used to be a very famous company in S City.
But later, Lin Sen'an suddenly went abroad, and the Lin family withdrew their investment and left S City.
Unexpectedly, many years later, the Lin family is still such a wealthy and powerful family.

"Ding Dong" After searching for a long time, Shen Yanqiu finally arrived at No. 99 Beiyuan and rang the doorbell.
"Sister Xiaoqiu." Lin Nanwu opened the door and rushed out with a smile.

"Aunt Zhang, please bring the peeled snow pear over." After entering the room.
Lin Nanwu couldn't wait to pull Shen Yanqiu's hand and go up to the second floor via the spiral staircase.

In the corner room on the second floor, a black grand piano is placed next to an extra-large and transparent floor-to-ceiling window.

"Sister Xiaoqiu, please sit down first. I will play the Black Key Etude for you. I guarantee that there will be no wrong notes this time!" Lin Nanwu asked Shen Yanqiu to sit on the floor-standing sofa next to the piano and slowly placed her hands on the keys.

Shen Yanqiu sat on the floor-standing sofa and closed his eyes silently.
The fast-flowing notes beat powerfully in the air.

After the song was over, "Nanwu, you're amazing. There wasn't a single wrong note this time, and your sense of rhythm is much better than before." Shen Yanqiu couldn't help but praise.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoqiu." Lin Nanwu was just saying this when Aunt Zhang put the peeled snow pear on the coffee table.

"Please enjoy."
"This snow pear was bought by Aunt Zhang this morning. Sister Xiaoqiu, please try it." Lin Nanwu picked up a piece of crystal clear pear with a small fork and handed it over.

After taking a bite of snow pear, Shen Yanqiu felt the air was filled with its sweetness. "Nanwu, it's delicious." Shen Yanqiu smiled with pleasure.

Ding Dong! The master is calling!
Shen Yanqiu looked at the name jumping on the phone: Landlord Aunt Li.
I don’t owe any rent this month. I clearly paid it on the 1st?

"Hello, Aunt Li." Before she could continue, Aunt Li's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Shen, I'm sorry. My son is getting married, so I have to take back the house I rented to you as their wedding house. Can you move out this week? I will return your deposit in full and this month's rent."

Hearing this, Shen Yanqiu felt a chill in his heart.
All I could say was, "Okay, Aunt Li. Congratulations."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yanqiu felt that his face was full of worry.

Where can I find a place to rent now? I have a headache.
"Sister Xiaoqiu, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"It's okay. Nan Wu, you don't have to worry about Sister Xiao Qiu. Let's learn today's piano piece first."
Shen Yanqiu glanced at little Lin Nanwu and decided not to tell the child about adult matters.

Lin Nanwu touched his head and said he wanted to go to the bathroom first.
When he got to the bathroom, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to his brother: Brother, Xiaoqiu's rented house is no longer available. Seize the opportunity!
