Negative pet

Chapter 6 Staying in the Mansion
In the quiet study room, only the sound of Yu Wan biting a cookie could be heard.

Duan Yan'an kept his eyes on those golden eyes.

"So, you actually don't know what we look like?" His tone seemed a little helpless.

Yu Wan nodded in response, then immediately shook her head.

"Shaking your head and nodding can't express yourself, you have to say it." He turned to face her, put his hand on her head as usual, and patted it gently, "Can you say it?"

Yu Wan stayed in that secret courtyard for 13 years. Qiu Ma, who took care of her, was a taciturn person. Only when she was listening to her reading, Yu Wan could hear her speak a lot.As time passed, Yu Wan talked less and less, and she just nodded and shook her head to complete the relationship between the two of them.

She knows what to say, but when it comes to speaking in full sentences, she loses coherence.

"I..." She tried her best to organize the words, "I can see...you."

Duan Yan'an's patted hands froze suddenly, and that low, hoarse and quiet voice filled his heart with inexplicable joy.

"That's right. If you want to say it in the future, you can't shake your head and nod your head, okay?" He bent down into her field of vision and warned softly.

Yu Wan looked at the person clearly in front of her eyes, her amber-like golden eyes were filled with a smile, and she subconsciously nodded in response.

"You just forgot after you finished speaking?" He also smiled along with it, reached out and flicked her forehead, "Say 'yes'."

"Okay." Yu Wan imitated him and answered.

The smile in his eyes was especially deep, and when he saw someone bringing steaming wontons, he put away the cookies in her hand.

"Put this here, eat it tomorrow, go eat something hot now."

Yu Wan went away in response, and sat obediently at the table, looking at the rising heat with eager little eyes.

Duan Yan'an sat back at the desk again, lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes, and opened the documents on the case.

The cold study room in the past seems to have filled the empty space.

The days of following Duan Yan'an gave her a feeling of returning to that small courtyard again, without rushing, as if one day was endless.

In the past, she could sit in the shade of a tree and watch Qiuma grow vegetables and flowers for a whole day.Sometimes, Qiu's mother would read books and tell stories to her when she was free.

Now, she also likes to see the busy people in the courtyard, the figures coming and going, as if performing a scene hidden behind the gauze, she never tires of looking at these vague figures, listening to their chats, talks and stories. complain.

Suddenly, two servants moved in a long framed scroll.

"Put it here first, and hang it up when the young commander comes back." The housekeeper ordered from outside the door.

Yu Wan's attention was instantly attracted by the painting.

It was an ink and wash landscape painting, with mountains covered in clouds and mists. Between the mountains, a long, calm river meanders forward. Boats in the river break through the surface of the river like a bronze mirror, causing circles of ripples. Some of the wild geese flying in the mountains had already flown into the clouds.

The wide and vast perspective impacted her limited vision.For the first time, she knew that beyond the blur she couldn't see, there was such a grandeur.

Yu Wan squatted in front of the painting, put her finger on the poem, and read it word by word.

"Floating clouds... don't share the same mountains... The mist is so dark that you can't see it." The tranquil voice read the above poem unconsciously, but when she read the next sentence, she got stuck.

"Yes... Xiaoyue temporarily flies into the tall trees, and the autumn river is separated by several peaks to the west."

Duan Yan'an's voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"It turns out that Wanwan can read." Lin Shishen also stood beside her, his tone full of surprise, and then he looked at Duan Yan'an, "Is this painting Xu Tiancheng gave you?"

Yu Wan stood up and grabbed his hand.

Duan Yan'an led him, walked back to the sofa, and sat down peacefully, his eyes still scanning the painting.

"It should be him."

Lin Shishen was even more puzzled: "What does he mean by giving such a valuable painting? His relationship with Fang Shilin has reached such a point that he is openly provoking it?"

"Then quietly be a spectator. It doesn't matter if you don't get any profit. It's not bad to watch the snipe and the clam fight." He turned to look at Gu Zhi, "Have someone move the painting to Wan Wan's room, don't hang it, Just put it where she can reach it."

Yu Wan looked at the painting, then turned to look at him again.

"If you can read, can you write?"

His tone suddenly turned gentle.Since he knew that she only had a one-foot vision, he would always appear in her sight when talking to her.

If the smile in the golden amber has a shape, it must be beams of light penetrating the deep forest.

"No..." Yu Wan shook her head while answering him.

Duan Yan'an smiled helplessly: "It's 'no'."

"Wanwan is willing to talk!" Lin Shishen suddenly sat upright, "You can talk more, I'll ask a question later... Who taught you how to read?"

She pursed her lips tightly, as if preparing.

"Mom Qiu can read..." She paused for a moment, then added, "Can read...a lot of books."

Lin Shishen suddenly smiled with the relief of his old father.

"I think it's better to let her follow you!" The excitement in his tone seemed to be uncontrollable, "Sister-in-law is too busy, and she will definitely only dress her up like a doll to make posters, so how can I spend time with her?" , teach her something useful?"

Duan Yan'an did not refuse, but only looked at Lin Shishen thoughtfully.

"Look, Wanwan is quiet and well-behaved, and she seems to like to follow you. Besides, your official residence is so big, and it's not bad for her to eat and live like a little girl!" Lin Shishen persuaded, and then began to complain, "You said you recognized her as a girl before, but now you don't agree? Picking up such a beautiful girl for nothing..."

Sensing Duan Yan'an's eyes gradually turning cold, Lin Shishen immediately suppressed the "outrage filled with righteous indignation".

"You are responsible for convincing Aunt Qiao." He reminded him coldly.

"That's no problem. If she needs Wanwan to make a poster, at worst, I'll pick her up. Anyway, I don't have much to do."

Lin Shishen promised it firmly.

"it is good."

When he looked back, Yu Wan was still looking at him.

"Unhappy?" Duan Yan'an's tone changed extremely quickly.

Those stunned golden eyes were slowly filled with joy.Like Qiu's mother before, she stepped forward and hugged him, folded her hands on the back of his neck, and leaned her hairy head on his shoulder.

Duan Yan'an was slightly stunned, the hand that had been placed on her head froze in mid-air, not knowing how to react for a moment.

"Look, she really likes to follow you." Lin Shishen looked as if it didn't happen.

He looked sideways, his cool blue hair rubbed against his forehead, and he slowly put his hand in mid-air on his back, patting it lightly.

In the past, when she was the happiest, she would hug Qiuma like this, and Qiuma would hold this little man in her arms and tell her stories.
