Deer in the forest in early autumn

When the piano lesson ended, Lin Nanwu was still a little reluctant to leave.
He scratched his head, coolly pulled out a page from the music score, and pestered Shen Yanqiu to play a song called "Wedding in the Dream".

After the performance of "Wedding in the Dream", Shen Yanqiu and Lin Nanwu said goodbye and hurried downstairs.
Suddenly, an orange shadow rushed towards Shen Yanqiu from right in front of her.

What caught my eye was a fat orange cat that looked very similar to Mr. Tuanzi.
Before Shen Yanqiu could react, the cat knocked her down.

It's black in front of you.
Her feet went weak and she fell down the stairs.
"Sister Xiaoqiu!" The last thing Shen Yanqiu heard was Lin Nanwu's anxious voice.

In a dream.
Shen Yanqiu felt like he had transparent wings and was flying lightly.
Finally she landed in front of a piano.

There is a girl with long hair in front of me.
"Brother Sen, guess what the piano piece I'm playing is called?"
"Qiuqiu, I... don't know. But it sounds very nice."

"Brother Sen, its name is "Dream Wedding"."
The girl turned her head with a smile on her face.

The face is so familiar to me.
That was myself three years ago.

Piano room at Chenchuan University in S City.
Sophomore Shen Yanqiu played "Wedding in the Dream" for Lin Sen'an for the first time.

That day, it suddenly rained.
Shen Yanqiu was trapped alone in the piano classroom.

The Pikachu on the phone charm seemed to be laughing at her for not even checking the weather forecast before going out.

This is the second year that she and Lin Sen'an have been officially together.
Lin Sen'an should be playing basketball in the indoor gymnasium today. It seems that there is a basketball game in the third year today? Shen Yanqiu was hesitating whether to send a message to Lin Sen'an.

The door of the piano room was opened.
"Qiuqiu, I'm here to pick you up." Lin Sen'an walked in wearing a loose white sweatshirt. The long-handled black umbrella in his hand was still dripping with rain.

As if realizing something, Lin Sen'an took another step back and gently placed the umbrella against the door with his bony hands.

"Brother Sen, did you just finish the game?"
"Yes, our department won." Lin Sen'an had a faint smile on his face.

I don’t know if I was bewitched by the gentle smile on the rainy day.
Shen Yanqiu couldn't help but ask Lin Sen'an to sit down.
"Brother Sen, let me play a song for you!" Shen Yanqiu's fingers moved between the black and white keys. The familiar melody made her couldn't help but smile.

The rain was drizzling outside the piano room.
Dream wedding.
Lin Sen'an, do you like it?

I don’t know how long I spent looking at the scene in my memory.
Shen Yanqiu found that his wings were slowly melting.

The sunlight slowly came into my eyes and a faint voice came to my ears.
Shen Yanqiu opened his eyes.

The first person I saw was Lin Sen'an. Those were a pair of eyes that contained so many emotions including fatigue, surprise, relief, etc.
"Qiuqiu, are you okay?"
"It's okay." A feeling of fatigue instantly swept over Shen Yanqiu's body.

His right foot was in a cast and hung high up.
"Lin Sen'an, I have a broken bone?"
Was you knocked down the stairs and broke your bones by a parkour cat that looked like a dumpling?
"What's the name of your orange cat?" Shen Yanqiu asked angrily.
"Mochi."

"Not as obedient as Master Tuanzi." Shen Yanqiu muttered in a low voice.
Mochi, Dumpling. This... isn't this Mochi Dumpling, a cat name for lovers?

Thinking of this, Shen Yanqiu blushed and fell silent.
Could it be that Lin Sen'an and I have such a high level of understanding?
He adopted a cat named Tuanzi, and named the cat at home who was far away abroad Mochi.
……

"Qiuqiu, I brought you some vegetable and lean meat porridge."
The fragrant lean meat porridge and the soft and glutinous meat aroma wafted in the ward.
"Thank you, Lin Sen'an." Shen Yanqiu couldn't help swallowing when he saw the tempting vegetable and lean meat porridge.

"Qiuqiu, there's no need for us to ever say thank you to each other." Lin Sen'an spoke every word, deliberately making his low voice gentle.

Shen Yanqiu raised her head and looked at Lin Sen'an. Lin Sen'an was sitting next to her, looking at her tenderly as if she was listening to him playing "Wedding in the Dream" in her memory.

This time, she suddenly didn't want to escape.
"I..." She bit her lip.

"Hello, ward rounds." The ward door creaked open.
The doctor who walked in had a pair of bright eyes, and the white mask on his angular face could not hide his gentle aura.

"Your name is Shen Yanqiu?"
"Hello. I'm Si Yuan, your attending physician."
"Hello, Doctor Si." A gentle smile appeared on Shen Yanqiu's face.

"You're not in serious trouble. You just got knocked down by a cat and broke your bones." A gentle voice came. Hearing this, the nurse behind Doctor Si couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"..."
I was so embarrassed that I was sent to the hospital!
Shen Yanqiu just wanted to hide under the quilt. Lin Sen'an couldn't help but smile.

Wait until the doctors and nurses on rounds have left.
Lin Sen'an received the message from the team and left the ward. Before leaving, he told Shen Yanqiu to finish the green vegetable and lean meat porridge.
Shen Yanqiu nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice.

The ward was unusually quiet.
Shen Yanqiu just scooped a spoonful of green vegetable and lean meat porridge, blew on the hot air, slowly brought it to his mouth, and drank a small sip with satisfaction.

A tall figure walked into the ward holding a bunch of sunflowers.
A standard model figure and a pair of sunglasses that make her look like a goddess.
A small shoulder jacket paired with a pair of high heels.

"Chengzi, I'm sorry for not welcoming you." Shen Yanqiu looked at his friend. Chengzi's hair must have been freshly done today.
I also sprayed Sofia's perfume.

"Qiuqiu, you are so miserable~" Fang Cheng said as he placed the sunflower on the table beside the bed. He fell in front of Shen Yanqiu with a crying face.

The smell of Sophia's perfume choked Shen Yanqiu and made him step back repeatedly.
"Chengzi, I just have a small fracture." Shen Yanqiu knew that Fang Cheng's acting addiction had come back again.

"Ha...Qiuqiu, it turns out you have a broken bone." Every word was pronounced clearly.
Shen Yanqiu pointed to his right foot which was hung up and cast.

"hehe."
"Qiuqiu, it's okay. I heard that you should mend the area where you fell. Next time, I will bring you three pounds of pig's trotters. I guarantee that you will be full of life again in a hundred days!"
"..." Shen Yanqiu looked at Fang Cheng and just wanted to kick her out immediately.

"By the way, where is the Island God?" Fang Cheng looked left and right.
After all, the person who answered her call told her that the person who was injured was Yu Shen.

"Something happened to the team, Lin Sen'an must go back."
"Oh." A slightly disappointed voice.

"Orange, are you here to see me or to meet the island god?"
Fang Cheng smiled. "Of course, it's to see you and take a look at Yu Shen. After all, he has never revealed his true face to his fans in all these years."

Shen Yanqiu had heard from Chengzi before that the Island God of the Sen Team was quite mysterious, but he didn't expect that Lin Sen'an had never revealed his true appearance.

"By the way, Chengzi, the landlord of the house I rented has taken it back. Can you help me store my luggage at your house first?" Shen Yanqiu was a little embarrassed. She knew that the house Fang Cheng rented was not big.

"Orange, I'll find a new place right away. It won't stay there for too long." Shen Yanqiu looked at the bunch of brilliant sunflowers, with a hint of moisture in the corners of his eyes.

"Qiuqiu, we are the best friends in the world. Don't worry, I will pick up your luggage for you today. Leave it at my house for now. You can keep it for as long as you want." Fang Cheng knew that Shen Yanqiu liked sunflowers very much, and it turned out that buying sunflowers today was a good idea. Hearing her good friend trust her so much, her heart suddenly warmed up.

Thinking of this, she hugged Shen Yanqiu tightly.
"Qiuqiu, it's okay, it's just a fracture."

In the doctor's office.
"Doctor Si, did you think the girl we just checked on was so cute, like a mascot, hahahaha."
"Have."
"These days, there are still people who get knocked down by cats and have their bones broken!"

"The world is full of wonders." Si Yuan straightened his white coat hanging on the wall and smoothed out the wrinkles.
Shen Yanqiu? It's a cute name.

For several days.
Shen Yanqiu stayed in the hospital and didn't even bring her drawings with her, and she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Doctor Si, when can I be discharged from the hospital?"
"Miss Shen has checked you over the past few days and you are fine. But your boyfriend said you will stay until this Sunday and you can be discharged tomorrow." Si Yuan looked at the girl's surprised expression and thought that she might be shy. After that, he put away the medical records and left the ward.

Boyfriend? Could it be that Lin Sen'an told Doctor Si?
He is obviously her ex-boyfriend. Shen Yanqiu was thinking.

"Qiuqiu, today we have your favorite soup dumplings for breakfast." Lin Sen'an walked in with a bag of packed dumplings. He looked like a kind and caring boyfriend.

"Lin Sen'an, we have broken up." Shen Yanqiu muttered softly.
She saw a trace of pain flash in Lin Sen'an's eyes.

He did not answer Shen Yanqiu's words. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, Qiuqiu. Do you have no place to live? Come live at my house."

Seeing Shen Yanqiu hesitated, Lin Sen'an hurriedly added, "The rent will be deducted from your salary."

Shen Yanqiu blinked and recalled the painful look that flashed across Lin Sen'an's face just now.
She said, "Okay," for some unknown reason. After she said that, she realized belatedly that little Lin Nanwu must have told her off.

Hearing Shen Yanqiu's agreement, Lin Sen'an breathed a sigh of relief, his brows were no longer furrowed, and the corners of his eyes slightly raised.
He opened the steamed dumpling and placed it in front of Shen Yanqiu while it was still hot.

The day of discharge from hospital.
Shen Yanqiu looked at the shiny silver wheelchair in front of him.
I felt very nervous and confused.

"Lin Sen'an, can you..."
"No." Lin Sen'an's righteous refusal came.

Shen Yanqiu's face suddenly showed a look of despair, and she looked eagerly at Lin Sen'an who was still packing his things.

Maybe it was because her gaze was too focused.
Lin Sen'an turned around, sighed softly, and walked towards her step by step in the morning light.

He gently used his hands to slowly and tenderly pick up Shen Yanqiu and put her on the wheelchair. He then took off his baseball cap and slowly put it on Shen Yanqiu while it was still warm.

It seemed that it was worn a little crookedly, so he reached out and put it on again carefully.
Shen Yanqiu smelled the familiar mint scent coming from where he was close to the tip of his nose.

She sat in her wheelchair, stunned.
