When the two of them went back, it was already past four in the afternoon.
And there was a man standing at the door of the house.
Shi Tingyu looked at Wei Jian in surprise and asked, "Why does Brother Wei have time to come here?"
Wei Jian moved his somewhat stiff legs and said with a smile: "Nothing, I just came to see you. I brought some things along the way and asked you to help send them to Professor Shi and them. It's a little thought from me."
Shi Tingyu looked at Wei Jian's smiling face with a natural expression, alarm bells ringing in his heart.
She didn't know why, but she felt an indescribable sense of crisis from him.
Lu Weiguo looked at the things placed next to Wei Jian.
Milk powder, malted milk, and some canned goods.
They are all great items for visiting relatives and friends.
Shi Tingyu's mind was spinning, and she opened the door to let people in. "Brother Wei is too polite. My parents are going to be renovated. How can I send something there?"
Wei Jian smiled and said: "What's the matter? I don't lack these things. Professor Shi was very kind to me when I was still in the institute. I also want them to suffer less."
When Shi Tingyu heard this, he felt strangely calm.
If Wei Jian could not be said to have bad intentions just now, his words now revealed a lot.
If Wei Jian regarded her parents as close teachers and seniors, then hearing that their biological daughter would not even help send some things from friends would make her feel angry.
But he didn't, he even smiled and greeted her with perfect expression control.
After taking Wei Jian into the main room, Shi Tingyu went to pour water for him.
Wei Jian's eyes stared at the wall of the main room again and again.
When he saw Shi Tingyu bringing water over, he quickly stood up and took it.
"Xiaoyu, there's no need to be busy. I'm just here to deliver something. I'll sit down for a while and then leave."
Shi Tingyu was sure that the other party was definitely not here to send something as a simple gift.
Then he invited, "Brother Wei, if you have nothing to do tonight, let's have a meal here."
Wei Jian quickly declined, "No, no, I have something to do at the research institute later."
Just when Shi Tingyu thought the other party was leaving, Wei Jian seemed to be very interested and asked, "Hey, Xiaoyu, the house you have here looks pretty good. I think it's better than living in a building."
This time it was Lu Weiguo who spoke, "There is a lot of space here, making it easier to move around."
Wei Jian nodded, then turned to look at Shi Tingyu, "I remember that the paintings on the walls of the government primary school were painted by Xiao Yu. I think your house is quite nice, but the walls are a bit empty. So For your level, it would be great if you paint some pictures to decorate it."
Lu Weiguo's sharp eyes suddenly looked at Wei Jian.
Wei Jian's body stiffened for a moment, and then relaxed, as if he had not received Lu Weiguo's gaze just now.
Before Shi Tingyu spoke, Lu Weiguo suddenly felt jealous, "Comrade Wei knows my wife very well."
As he spoke, he reached out and shook Shi Tingyu's hand.
Shi Tingyu shook his hand.
Wei Jian took in all this and put down the vigilance he had just raised in his heart. He smiled heartily, "Commander Lu, don't be so stingy. I regard Xiaoyu as my younger sister. I usually listen to what Professor Shi and the others talk about." Let’s get through some light rain.”
Shi Tingyu held Lu Weiguo's hand tightly.
Lu Weiguo knew that the other party's words were not trustworthy.
Shi Tingyu knew how good Shi Qian was, and he would never say anything about his daughter in front of a young man.
He is a somewhat daughter-in-law father, and his son-in-law is no different from a class enemy in his eyes.
The reason why he was able to recognize Lu Weiguo so quickly in the first place was also forced by the situation.
In the face of his daughter's future, he was able to let go of the hostility in his heart towards his son-in-law.
How could such a father talk about her in front of other men?
Lu Weiguo seemed to be convinced by Wei Jian's words, and he loosened his hold on his wife's hand, and the expression on his face relaxed.
"So that's it."
Seeing that Lu Weiguo was no longer staring at him as closely as before, Wei Jian brought the topic to Shi Tingyu again.
"Xiaoyu, can I see your other paintings? Apart from wall paintings, I haven't seen any of your paintings. I heard that you had an art exhibition when you were in the United States. You must be very good at painting."
If she were an ordinary little girl who was arrogant and arrogant, she might really be manipulated by the opponent's high hat at this time.
Shi Tingyu lowered his eyes, with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"Brother Wei should know that in this current environment, I don't dare to paint anything. I only dare to paint wall paintings after the principal finds me and guarantees that there will be no problem."
As she said that, she sighed again, "You also know that my parents were sent down. I finally didn't have to be sent down, so how could I dare to draw my pen, so there are no paintings left at home."
Wei Jian's brows furrowed for a moment, and then relaxed again, "It doesn't need to be a formal work, just any practice manuscript. I'm just curious to see it."
Shi Tingyu said: "Brother Wei, I really don't have any. If you don't believe me, just ask Wei Guo. I have to be busy with exercise and school work on weekdays. Wei Guo can't help me in the camp on weekdays. You see, I have to take care of the vegetable garden and the dog, so I don’t have time to paint anything.”
Having said that, Wei Jian didn't feel like saying anything else. He looked at the time and said, "It's already getting late. I should go back. When I have time next time, Xiao Yu will have to paint a picture for me. Then I will follow your instructions." I bought it at the market price, I really like your paintings."
Shi Tingyu drew a picture for the other party, "That's no problem. When the environment gets better, I will definitely draw one for you. As for the money, it's too unreasonable to talk about it."
Wei Jian took a deep breath. Today's goal was not achieved, which made him a little annoyed, but there was little point in staying any longer.
After saying goodbye to the Lu family couple and leaving the yard, the expression on Wei Jian's face darkened.
The main purpose of his visit this time was to take a look at Shi Tingyu's paintings.
Some time ago, a small leader of their secret service was arrested.
According to the information he received, people from the military region arrested people based on their portraits. When he first learned the news, the first thing he thought of was Shi Tingyu.
He originally wanted to take a look at Shi Tingyu's paintings, and wanted to confirm whether the paintings were by her hand based on the painting style, but he didn't expect that Tingyu Hua, who had no mercy, actually tried to prevaricate him.
He didn't dare to show it too obviously, for fear that the other party would become suspicious.
After all, Lu Weiguo is not a vegetarian.
Suddenly he thought of the way Lu Weiguo looked at him, and he couldn't help but feel frightened. Thinking back to the conversation just now, he felt as if he had been exposed.
Did Shi Tingyu never trust him from beginning to end?
When he wanted to see the painting, she tried to avoid him in every possible way. This was not the reaction of someone who trusted each other.
Moreover, she seems to be very repulsive about sending packages to Professor Shi. This is not the attitude a daughter should have.
Thinking this, his face turned pale, and he walked back a lot more eagerly.
