Chapter 353
His voice was calm, the expression on his face was nearly sharp, and his naturally smiling eyes were dark and deep, like she had never seen before.
Meghan looked at Leon for several seconds through the water in his eyes. In such a suffocating space, it seemed that a drowning person could not find a driftwood.
At this time, her mobile phone promptly rang a WeChat reminder, breaking the stagnant atmosphere in the room.
She straightened up abruptly, hurriedly touched the phone, and then grinned reluctantly at him: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
After speaking, the phone was touched, and the album in his hand had already slipped to the floor.
She picked it up in a hurry, didn’t even look at it, held the album on his bedside table, then opened the door and ran out quickly.
The girl’s anxious voice came from outside the open door, drifting away until it disappeared, the door closed, and everything returned to silence.
Leon turned his eyes and saw water in the album on the bedside table.
He stared for a few seconds, then turned to open the quilt and lay down, as if he hadn’t seen anything.
At this time, there was another noise outside, and not long after, there were steps from far to near.
“Leon.” It was the voice of mother Qiao Youyou: “I just saw a girl running out of our house crying. I asked her that she didn’t raise her eyes. Did you know?”
“Yeah.” Leon rubbed his eyebrows: “I’m not familiar, don’t ask, she won’t come again.”
Qiao Youyou could almost guess what happened, but even if she wanted to intervene in her son’s relationship, she couldn’t find the direction at all.
So, she nodded: “You can handle it yourself, don’t make the girl sad.”
“I see.” Leon said: “Mom, I’m a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while, you help me close the door.”
Qiao Youyou left the room and brought the door. In the room, the light dimmed again, and Leon closed his eyes.
After that, he did not see Meghan again for a long time. Gradually, with his busy work, he almost forgot her in the corner of memory.
Suddenly it was early summer, and Meghan brothers and sisters received Kristine’s wedding invitation because of their parents’ relationship.
On the same day, Hubert returned from the company and rushed to his sister with an invitation: “Sister Kristine’s wedding is on the 14th of this month, shall we go together?”
Meghan was drawing at the moment. Hearing Hubert’s words, the pen nib was slightly harder, and the strength was not consistent with the previous brushwork.
She raised her eyes: “Brother, we happen to have a club competition on the 14th. I guess I won’t be able to go.”
Hubert was naturally a little confused. He sat down, took a sip from the water glass, and looked at Meghan probingly: “What happened between you and Leon brother?”
“Ah?” Meghan blinked, with a playful look in her eyes: “Nothing! Brother, why do you say that?”
“Before, as long as I mentioned him and his house, your eyes were bright. But in these two months, you never took the initiative to mention him. Now his sister’s wedding, you also said that there is no time.” Hubert locked Meghan’s eyes: “Meghan, what are you hiding?”
“Brother, you are going to be a criminal police officer!” Meghan shrugged, “It’s okay, it’s really the club activities are very important! Besides, we are not very familiar with other people, we only met a few times. It’s not necessary to go to weddings or anything, it’s good to have you as a representative in our house!”
She seemed to speak quite naturally. Although Hubert did not clear up her doubts, she could not find any other breakthrough.
So he walked over and rubbed Meghan’s hair: “Okay, I will be my plenipotentiary representative that day. Meghan, Leon brother is much older than you. You have different experiences and are not suitable. But the family doesn’t object to you talking about it. In love, if your schoolmates have good character, you can also observe and weigh them.”
“Okay, I see, Dad is not here, is he really the eldest brother like a father?” Meghan pushed Hubert: “I still want to paint, this draft is very important.”
“Okay, you know how to measure it.” Hubert said, taking the invitation and returning to his room.
When the sound of his footsteps disappeared, Meghan raised her head.
She bit her pen, her eyes looked far away, slightly in a daze.
Yes, she is hiding from him. In other words, she wanted to see how long it would take her to give up the feeling in her heart.
Unfortunately, after two months, this feeling did not disappear at all, but intensified.
She was a little depressed, but more joyous. It turns out that she really has someone she likes. It turns out that she really likes someone like this.
She gave herself three months, if three months can’t be forgotten, then she will try again.
However, in less than three months, she met him in an unexpected situation.
Before, she joined the school’s news club. The vice president of the club is a senior sister from the journalism department, named Junlan Xia.
Because Meghan has liked to paint since she was a child, she has a solid foundation for all these years. Therefore, she is responsible for almost all the layout illustrations of news bulletins published in the club.
And this weekend, Junlan Xia organized a welfare agency and invited Meghan as a painter early.
The Welfare Agency is a child care center with autistic children, as well as some children who have been assaulted, and unadopted orphans.
Meghan’s job is to sketch from life. Because some children are very afraid of the camera, it is best to use the way of drawing to record some moments and display them at a later art exhibition to appeal to the society to care for these insecure children.
Junlan Xia, Meghan and others came to this orphanage early in the morning.
Dean Lin, who was in charge of the reception, and Junlan Xia were very familiar with each other. When they saw them coming, they greeted them warmly, saying: “Junlan, Xiaohu yesterday heard that you are coming today. The excitement of the night is that I can’t sleep. They said they won’t let you come if they don’t sleep anymore.
Junlan Xia couldn’t help laughing: “Then are they getting up now?”
Dean Lin nodded: “Just getting up, I am eating, I will take you over.”
She walked in front and Junlan Xia was behind. By the way, she told Meghan and other classmates that Xiaohu was a child who had suffered psychological trauma. When she first saw her, she was very defensive and came over much more. The children gradually Be friendly. When everyone starts, don’t get too close to the children, wait for them to accept them, and then communicate.
A group of people walked into the cafeteria and saw the children sitting in their seats eating from a distance.
Some of them can be eaten by themselves, and some are hugged and fed by the orphanage aunt.
It was the first time for Meghan to come to such an institution. Suddenly, she felt sadness and depression in her heart.
She grew up in a healthy family, her parents loved her, and her brother loved her very much. It can be said that she has hardly encountered any setbacks since she was a child.
If I had to say, the only time I liked Leon but was rejected in person.
But now, when I see some children’s vigilant eyes, some children have been eating silently by themselves since they appeared, and without even lifting their heads, I suddenly felt that she should do more for them. .
She found a place to sit down, took out the drawing board, and started drawing.
The first thing I paint is a whole picture, that kind of silent and depressed atmosphere, and the children’s defenses that are naturally exuded because of their lack of security.
Meghan raised her eyes to look around while painting. But while her eyes turned, she saw a somewhat familiar face.
The appearance of a six or seven-year-old little girl is different from some children. Her eyes are much clearer and she can communicate with the children around her.
Her face was beautiful, and she was so well-behaved that she was the one Leon met in the restaurant that day.
It turned out that the little girl was sent to this orphanage? It’s a coincidence.
Meghan took a deep breath and continued to paint, but at this moment, Dean Lin’s cell phone rang.
Because the hall was quite quiet, Meghan vaguely heard that Dean Lin smiled and said, “Okay, come here, Xiao Lu is also having breakfast.”
She didn’t care either, just thinking that there might be another volunteer coming, so she painted more intently.
Until, there were footsteps outside, followed by the warm voice of Dean Lin, and the lowered inhalation sound of fellow students.
Meghan raised her eyes and saw Leon and Du Manman walking side by side in the early morning sunlight.
Today, he is wearing a light-colored T-shirt with slim jeans and sneakers underneath. He looks clean and sunny, just like a college student.
Especially, the jeans are dark, looking at the two big long legs slender and straight, very eye-catching.
Next to him, Domanman is also wearing very casual, T-shirt and cropped trousers, revealing white and delicate ankles, wearing flat canvas shoes on the soles of her feet, walking beside Leon, he has the most adorable feeling of height difference.
Dumanman is a frequent visitor of the entertainment version, especially after Tiffany faded out of the entertainment circle, many good resources fell on her, so none of Meghan’s fellow students did not know her.
“Oh my God, it turned out to be Domanman!”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect to meet her! Is that her boyfriend next to her? So handsome!”
“It seems to be it, it should be the one in the previous photo, He is more handsome than the photo!”
In the whispered discussion, Leon and Dumanman had already arrived in front of the dean. The two had just asked about Xiao Lu’s situation, and the little girl had put down her chopsticks and ran to them happily.
“Aunt Manman! Uncle Fu!” The little girl’s voice was very crisp, and it reached the ears of everyone present.
Meghan hurriedly retracted her eyes and continued to paint.
Leon had already bent over to hug Xiao Lu, looked at the college students in the other corner of the hall, and asked casually, “Dean Lin, are they college student volunteers?”
“Yeah.” Dean Lin nodded, “They are all students from the Ning University News Club. Come here today to report.”
At this moment, Junlan Xia saw Leon, so she got up and said at him: “Mr. Fu, I didn’t expect to see you here!”
Leon also smiled. Searching for Junlan Xia’s name in his memory, he found that a group of college students were looking at him, but the one sitting in the corner was immersed in painting and seemed to be painting seriously.
