Anjiang City is located on the southeast coast of China. It is a city surrounded by the sea, with beautiful scenery and developed economy. It is one of the economic centers in the south.
Lin Xian is a native of Anjiang City who is rooted in Anjiang. His maternal grandfather and grandfather were both university professors, and his parents inherited their ancestral business, and they are both teachers of key universities in Anjiang City. On weekdays, although her parents are busy with teaching and scientific research, they are also pampered and pampered by her, and they are not willing to let her suffer.
After graduating from high school, Lin Xian lived up to the expectations of his parents and was admitted to the best professional finance department of Jingnan University, which is located in the city's top 5 in the country. After the whole family celebrated with joy and encouragement, they fell into deep thought.
Anjiang City is divided into six districts. Lin Xian's family is located in the northern district of the city, while Jingnan University is located in the southern district of the city. One south and one north, the fastest journey between the two places takes an hour, and it is obvious that it is inconvenient to travel.
This means that Linxian University needs to live on campus.
It's nothing at all. When a child grows up, he will always learn to fly by himself. Besides, living on campus at a university should be nothing more than a normal thing. However, Lin Xian is different. She had a dark history, which made Lin's mother, Zhou Qin, not at all at ease.
When Lin Xian was in her second year of high school, her parents had to be busy with the school's evaluation of job titles, and they had to take care of her food and daily life, pick her up and drop her off for self-study at night. They were exhausted and exhausted. Lin Xian felt sorry for his parents, so he offered to live in school for a period of time, and wait until his parents had been busy for a while.
Lin's mother, Zhou Qin, was worried, but Lin's father, Lin Zhan, persuaded her that it was just a chance to exercise Lin Xian's independence. Lin Zhan's persuasion, coupled with Lin Xian's swearing guarantee, no matter what he said, Zhou Qin finally nodded.
In the past few weeks, Lin Xian was well-behaved and obedient, without wind or waves. One day in the sixth week, after ten o'clock in the night, a phone call from the head teacher broke the peace, scaring Zhou Qin out of his wits. The head teacher said that the dormitory teacher reported that Lin Xian and another female student in the same dormitory did not return home at night. They searched around the school but found nothing.
That night was the most thrilling and longest night that Zhou Qin had ever lived in his entire life. In the process of looking for Lin Xian, she kept blaming herself, "It's her mother who is irresponsible, and let her live alone when the child is still young." She thought, "If something happens to Lin Xian, she will go and accompany her." she".
The whole school teachers, the whole family, searched around the school all night. Fortunately, in a small black Internet cafe not far from the school, they finally found Lin Xian and the female classmate who were unharmed.
This incident caused Lin Xian to be demerited, lost his recommendation qualification, and the whole school issued a notice of criticism. Zhou Qin also asked her to check out immediately after the incident, and since then he has personally picked her up and sent her to and from get out of class every day.
Although, Lin Xian repeatedly explained afterwards that she was just going out to buy something with her roommate that day, because she accidentally passed the school access control time, she would be registered when she went back, and if she returned late, she could be fooled by the lack of strict bed check, so her roommate suggested that it would be better to wait for the next day. Only then did she agree to mix in with the day students in the morning. The reason why he was in the Internet cafe was just to find a place where he could spend the night safely.
However, the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and it is an indisputable fact that he does not return home at night and hangs around Internet cafes. No matter how she explained it, Zhou Qin no longer had confidence in her ability to take care of herself and control herself.
Besides, not long afterward, Zhou Qin went to a parent-teacher meeting, and the head teacher told her that Lin Xian suffered from stomach problems several times in class, and broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, and asked Zhou Qin to pay more attention, as the child was in an important period of growing up. After Zhou Qin went home and asked repeatedly, Lin Xian confessed that during the stay, she occasionally got up late and didn't have breakfast. Zhou Qin was so angry that he didn't speak to Lin Xianlin for a few days. She blamed Lin Zhan for telling her that the child must let go when he grows up.
Before this incident happened, Zhou Qin listened to Lin Zhan and was still considering that the university made Lin Xian apply directly to American schools like Xu Chengjuan who grew up with her. After this incident, Zhou Qin's thoughts completely changed. After all, the child is still young, he has never been away from his side since he was a child, and he is very well protected by the people around him, and his temper is much more innocent and childish than his peers, so let's wait a few more years to calm down.
A lesson learned from the past, this time Zhou Qin can't rest assured that Lin Xian will live in the school no matter what. The freshman still needs to make a transition and stay, and wait until she is a sophomore and a junior.
Zhou Qin has been smooth sailing all his life. He has always been proud of his personality. He walks straighter than others. He never likes to trouble others. He is most afraid of being in debt to others. But this time, for the sake of her precious daughter Lin Xian, she is willing to make an exception and bow her head once.
After much thought and discussion with Lin Zhan, she decided to call Xiao Wanqing.
Xiao Wanqing's father and Zhou Qin's father have been colleagues, friends, and old neighbors for decades. Therefore, although Xiao Wanqing is eleven years younger than Zhou Qin, the two have known each other since childhood; Zhou Qin's father was also a classmate for many years; moreover, Xiao Wanqing went to graduate school later and became Zhou Qin's father's disciple. The relationship between the two families became closer, and the two of them became even more like sisters.
Later, due to changes in the Xiao family, Xiao Wanqing left the North District, and almost never set foot in this sad place again. The two of them didn't see each other several times a year. During the holidays, both sides always remembered each other, and exchanged phone calls and gifts. greeting. Entrusting Lin Xian to Xiao Wanqing, Zhou Qin felt that the psychological pressure was less, and it was easier to speak up, and Xiao Wanqing was a person Zhou Qin knew very well, so she could rest assured that Lin Xian was entrusted to her.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Qin did what he said and called Xiao Wanqing. Lin Xian, who was sitting by the side, secretly pricked up her ears to listen to their conversation, but the sound insulation effect of the phone was so good that she could only vaguely hear a gentle and pleasant female voice coming out of the microphone, but she couldn't hear the conversation clearly.
After a phone call, in just ten minutes, they decided on Lin Xian's destination for the next year - Lin Xian stayed at Xiao Wanqing's house, and Lin Xian took care of lunch in the school cafeteria. Let Lin Xian solve it by himself. Zhou Qin offered to pay Xiao Wanqing for accommodation and living expenses, but Xiao Wanqing sternly refused. Zhou Qin thought about repaying Xiao Wanqing in other ways in the future, so he didn't mention it. She regards Xiao Wanqing as her own sister, so she will not treat her badly. In the next 30 minutes, Zhou Qin and Xiao Wanqing started gossiping on the phone, laughing at Yan Yan, leaving Lin Xian, the person involved in the incident, with a dazed look on his face.
Ah, hello, Mom, what kind of deal did you make with them
Since Xiao Wanqing's accident happened in Xiao's house and Xiao Wanqing left the North District, Lin Xian hadn't seen her for many years. Her impression of Xiao Wanqing gradually faded with the passage of time and the growth of age. In the vague impression, it is all the amazement and pity for her when she was young. She remembered that Xiao Wanqing was an extremely beautiful and gentle woman, when she smiled, her eyes were as bright as the sun, and as gentle as the rippling autumn water.
If, if there hadn't been that stupid sentence at the birthday party that year, borrowing at Xiao Wanqing's house would probably be a better choice. The Tong Yan that she proposed to marry Xiao Wanqing back then has already become the talk when everyone made fun of her for many years. In the early years, when Lin Xian just really understood the meaning of marriage, she would be shy and embarrassed when being teased. Later, her face grew day by day with her age. Thick-skinned, thinking about it, she would occasionally chime in and joke when others teased her: "If Auntie Xiao is still so beautiful, I would like to marry now."
However, it's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to actually face the rumored person himself. Lin Xian covered her face, she suddenly felt a little inexplicably nervous.
Years are like a butcher's knife, Xiao Wanqing is 14 years older than her, counting her age, she is 31 this year. 31 years old is the age when a woman's temperament is just right, but it is also the age when a woman's appearance gradually fades. She was suddenly a little scared, what would the fairy sister in her mind look like when she met again after many years
However, no matter what feelings Lin Xian had in his heart, how many times his thoughts turned, the day of meeting and living together with Xiao Wanqing, with the passing of the summer vacation, was getting closer day by day.
On August 24, the sky is fine and cloudless, suitable for marriage, appointment, school and moving.
After lunch, Zhou Qin helped Lin Xian pack the big and small bags, took Lin Xian with him, drove the car, and rushed to Xiao Wanqing's house in the southern district.
Along the way, Zhou Qin babbled and told Lin Xian tirelessly: "Although we have a close relationship with Aunt Xiao, other people's homes are no better than our own. Stay at your Aunt Xiao's house, work hard, and you can no longer stay with me at home." It's the same as if the four bodies are not working hard and the five grains are not distinguished."
Lin Xian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had black and beautiful long straight hair tied into a high ponytail, was wearing a clean white T-shirt, sky blue denim shorts, and a somewhat helpless smile on his white and bright face: "Mom, I see. You've said it eight hundred times."
Zhou Qin gave Lin Xian a sideways look, and said angrily, "You think I'm long-winded, don't you? You'll remember if I don't say it a few times? When I was at home, how many times have I told you that I can wash your coat for you?" , you have to wash your underwear after taking a shower, have you done it? Every time you say you, you say "okay, I know". Corrected."
Lin Xian was caught in the pigtails. Seeing that Zhou Qin was about to turn over the old score, she smiled awkwardly, began to be gentle, leaned towards Zhou Qin in a fawning manner, rubbed her face on Zhou Qin's shoulder, and acted like a baby. Said: "Because you are my mother, you won't be really angry and dislike me no matter what I do."
Zhou Qin snorted, his face turned cloudy, and his tone softened a lot: "So you are confident? Sit upright, I'm driving."
Lin Xian laughed "hehehe", sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, I know what you said. At home, because my mother is too reliable, I can't help being lazy. Yes, I'm still very serious and reliable when I go out, and I have super self-care ability! You have to trust your daughter."
Zhou Qin couldn't help being amused by her self-promotion, chuckled lightly and said, "It's best to be like this."
It took more than an hour's drive, and the two of you talked and laughed, but it passed quickly.
Xiao Wanqing had already greeted the security guards in the community, so when the car arrived downstairs in Xiao Wanqing's community, Zhou Qin probed and said Xiao Wanqing's name to the security guards, and the security guards let them go.
Zhou Qin found a public temporary parking space and parked the car, then directed Lin Xian to drag the suitcase, and walked to Building No. 3 where Xiao Wanqing lived with two bags of luggage.
As soon as he entered the elevator, Xiao Wanqing's call came.
On the phone, Xiao Wanqing asked Zhou Qin: "Sister, are you here yet? I'll go downstairs to pick you up."
The elevator ding-dong sounded, and the door opened. Zhou Qin walked out and said with a smile: "We are here, you don't need to come down, just come out and open the door."
After a few steps, they were standing in front of Xiao Wanqing's house. Almost at the same time, the door opened with a "click", and in the next second, a tall, graceful and beautiful woman appeared in front of Lin Xian.
She stood in front of the door, wearing a simple and clean cotton white T-shirt, gray home slacks, long chestnut hair with a shawl, slightly curled at the ends, and a pair of smiling eyes, just as gentle as before. The water is rippling.
Lin Xian didn't hear clearly what Zhou Qin had exchanged with her, so Zhou Qin patted her on the shoulder lightly and reminded: "Why are you in a daze, say hello to your Auntie Xiao."
Lin Xian then turned around, raised her eyes to meet Xiao Wanqing's eyes, touched Xiao Wanqing's smiling eyes, she suddenly felt a little hot on her face. She calmed down for a while, raised the corner of her mouth and shouted: "Hello, Aunt Xiao..." The voice was clear and bright that is unique to girls.
After finishing speaking, she couldn't help explaining it jokingly: "Aunt Xiao is more beautiful than before, and I couldn't help being dumbfounded. Mom, you are so bad, let me call you Aunt Xiao, and you will call her old , I think the most I can do is call me sister."
Although she said this as a joke, it came from the heart. The passage of time, not only did not erode Xiao Wanqing's face, but accumulated a moving charm for her. If Xiao Wanqing used to be a beautiful Qingshui lily, then she is now a secluded orchid in the valley.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Qin couldn't help but chuckled softly beside her, teasingly said: "Then you also call me sister to come and see? I'm from your Aunt Xiao's generation, why don't you feel like calling me?" Mom called me old."
Xiao Wanqing looked at Lin Xian tenderly and smiled. She stretched out her hand and gesticulated twice on her forehead according to Lin Xian's height, and said with a gentle smile: "Xianxian has grown up, her mouth is still so sweet, when I saw you last time, you only reached my waist. "After that, she bent down, lifted Zhou Qin's luggage on the ground from Lin Xian's side with one hand, and pulled Lin Xian's suitcase with the other hand, and greeted: "Stop talking at the door, let's go in."
Her hair slid down from her cheeks as she bent over, like the slow motion of a movie, and came into Lin Xian's eyes little by little. A wisp of hair fragrance quietly lingers on the tip of Lin Xian's nose...
Zhou Qin pushed Lin Xian lightly, and said in a low voice, "Why are you so dazed, help Aunt Xiao to mention it together."
Lin Xian suddenly woke up like a dream, and stepped forward to grab the bag from Xiao Wanqing's hand: "Aunt Xiao, I'll just carry it."
Xiao Wanqing didn't let go, and smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's not heavy, just a few steps away, I'll go directly to your bedroom." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Zhou Qin: "Sister, you also come in to see See how the bedroom I arranged for Lin Xian is, and see if there is anything missing."
Lin Xian was embarrassed to let go, so she could only walk side by side with Xiao Wanqing, carrying the bag together.
Zhou Qin closed the door, and replied with a loud smile: "I don't worry about your arrangement, don't look at it." After finishing speaking, she seemed to remember something, and smiled and told Xiao Wanqing: "Lin Xian doesn't understand Proper, Xiao Wan, don't spoil her from now on, just do what you want, otherwise she will push her forward."
Lin Xian pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Mom, why am I not knowing how to measure and push an inch? You are blatantly slandering me. Is this how I look in your heart?"
Zhou Qin said unhappily: "You have this image, I am your mother, do I still not understand you? I am afraid that your Auntie Xiao will be fooled by you in the future."
Xiao Wanqing entered Lin Xian's bedroom and gently placed her luggage on the ground. Listening to Lin Xian's mother and daughter bickering, she gently smoothed the drooping forehead hair behind her ears, pursed her lips and smiled softly, her eyes filled with a smile, shining like stars. Lin Xian turned his head and saw Xiao Wanqing's appearance, suddenly, he felt a little embarrassed.
Startled, she looked at her watch and reminded Zhou Qin: "Mom, it's four o'clock. Didn't you say that you have a school meeting at six o'clock? Will you have time if you don't leave?"
Zhou Qin wanted to help her pack her luggage, but when she looked at her watch, it was too late. She was embarrassed and said to Xiao Wanqing: "I wanted to tidy up my things and have dinner together at night. The restaurants are all booked, but the school announced that there will be a meeting, so I had to rush back."
Xiao Wanqing was considerate and said: "It's okay, sister, do we need to be so polite? We can eat at any time, so you can go back and do your work first."
Zhou Qin nodded, and said with a comfortable smile: "Then we will meet again when we are free some other day."
Xiao Wanqing also smiled: "Well, Wen Tong hasn't seen you for a long time, and I've been thinking about when to get together." Wen Tong was Xiao Wanqing's classmate when she was in graduate school, and also Zhou Qin's father's disciple and Zhou Qin's younger sister .
Zhou Qin said bluntly: "That's just right, when we make an appointment, I'll be the host."
Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian bid farewell to Zhou Qin and went out together. When they walked to the door again, Xiao Wanqing suddenly remembered the previous preparations, took a spare key from the door frame and handed it to Zhou Qin, so that she could come to see Lin Xian at any time.
Before leaving, Zhou Qin couldn't help but told Lin Xian again: "Listen to your Aunt Xiao, and don't cause trouble for Aunt Xiao."
Before Lin Xian could answer, Xiao Wanqing smiled slightly and said, "Sister, Xian Xian is so sensible, she won't."
How happy Zhou Qin was to hear Xiao Wanqing praise her child. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, and finally said solemnly: "Xiao Wan, Lin Xian will trouble you, thank you for your hard work. Don't spoil her, and take care of her as you please. I trust you, and I entrust you with carte blanche. Here You have caused trouble, and my sister is here to thank you."
Xiao Wanqing bent her eyebrows, stretched out her hand to touch Zhou Qin's arm and shook it gently, and said warmly and sincerely: "Sister, don't be so polite, we are a family, Lin Xian will leave it to me, don't worry."
Lin Xian couldn't stand their politeness, looked at his watch, cleared his throat, and said straight to the point: "Mom, it's 4:15, if you don't leave, you won't be able to have dinner and start the meeting again."
Zhou Qin said "Oh", and finally left in a hurry.
At the age of 17, I just feel that the sky is high and the sea is wide outside, which is the most suitable place to venture. It is rare to leave home, leave parents, and be as happy as a bird that has left its cage. Lin Xian looked at the hurried figure of his mother, without the slightest parting sorrow, and smiled heartlessly like a successful little fox.
However, when Zhou Qin really left and closed the door, only Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing were left, Lin Xian suddenly felt a little embarrassed and at a loss.
She stood by the door, not knowing where she was going, neither standing nor sitting.
Xiao Wanqing seemed to see her uneasiness, and suddenly laughed with a "puchi".
Lin Xian raised his head to look at her, and saw Xiao Wanqing's eyes seemed to be full of autumn water, and he stretched out his hand to shave her nose with a smile like a flower, and said in a warm and pleasant voice, "Lin Xian, have a nice cohabitation."
