After that phone call in April, Wen Tong seemed to have lost the news, which has never happened before. Xiao Wanqing discovered it belatedly after more than half a month. She browsed Wen Tong's circle of friends, and found that the timing of Wen Tong's postings was very strange, and she was often active in the middle of the night. Based on the photos and a few words, she guessed that Wen Tong might be too busy with work to contact her recently.
Sure enough, she took the initiative to call Wen Tong, and Wen Tong explained to her in the same way.
For many years, Xiao Wanqing has always believed that Wen Tong is a frank person who they can trust each other, so, for Wen Tong's explanation, she believed it to be true without any doubt.
She knew that Wen Tong was a career-minded person, no matter how much she tried to persuade her to take care of her health, she was afraid that it would just go in one ear and out the other. So, she thought about it again and again, went to the store and pharmacy, bought a bunch of health care products and heat-clearing scented tea, plus Wen Tong's favorite snacks unique to Anjiang City, and sent them to Wen Tong, as a side-by-side reminder She takes care of herself.
The courier showed that two days after the receipt, Wen Tong called her, hesitant to speak. After a moment of silence, Wen Tong asked her in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Wanqing, me, how about going back to Anjiang City?" It had been a long time since she called her name in such a serious manner, and Xiao Wanqing was a little stunned for a while.
She could hear Wen Tong's low and cautious tone when he asked her, as if he had struggled repeatedly for a long time before making a difficult decision, but he was still wavering. For someone as strong as Wen Tong, what could make her so embarrassed? She speculated that her friend had suffered setbacks and grievances in Nagasawa City, and she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. Naturally, she was looking forward to her return in her heart, but she still didn't make a decision for her, she replied softly: "Wen Tong, listen to your own inner voice, just don't regret it."
On the other end of the phone, Wen Tong was silent for a moment, and then told her seriously: "I'll go back when I finish handling the matter here, you wait for me."
She tried to stay away, but as long as she had hope, she couldn't really leave. As long as Xiao Wanqing smiles lightly and cares a little, the ice wall she has built so hard can melt again.
She resigned to her fate.
At the beginning of June, Lin Xian quickly passed all the tests and got his driver's license smoothly.
On the day when she got the certificate, Lin Xian couldn't wait to take photos of Xiao Wanqing, and shared her joy and excitement with Xiao Wanqing immediately. Xiao Wanqing seemed to be happier than Lin Xian, and her tone was obviously joyful, and she responded: "Xianxian is awesome! I'll pick you up in the evening, and we'll celebrate outside."
Lin Xian looked at the text message, smiled openly, and promised her, "Okay."
They had dinner on the second floor of the shopping mall outside Jingnan University, and then watched a movie upstairs. It was close to ten o'clock before the movie ended.
They took the elevator to the parking lot to pick up the car. When they got to the car, Xiao Wanqing abnormally handed the car keys to Lin Xian, tilted her head, smiled slightly, and motioned for Lin Xian to drive.
Lin Xian blinked, joy and excitement suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, but he was more moved. When she was learning to drive, she heard many complaints from other students about the difficulty of borrowing a car, and she knew what kind of trust and willingness to give her car to a novice who just got a driver's license.
She took a look at Xiao Wanqing's car logo that announced the high value of the car, and asked Xiao Wanqing in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that I will scratch the car?"
Xiao Wanqing put the key in Lin Xian's hand, her voice was warm and sweet, and she encouraged with a smile: "Scrape it, just scratch it. It's always inevitable at the beginning, so don't have a psychological burden."
"Painting is expensive."
Xiao Wanqing gave a low laugh when she heard the words, and couldn't help but raised her hand to gently scratch Lin Xian's nose, doting on her and saying, "Are you precious? Idiot."
She stretched out her hand to take Lin Xian's hand actively, took Lin Xian's fingertips to unlock the lock, and then helped her open the driver's door, her eyes were like water, like a soft and expectant little woman, begging her to say : "Lin Xiaoxian, will you take me for a ride?"
This smart and considerate woman was always able to convince herself with the most suitable and least damaging method to her self-esteem, Lin Xian's heart softened even more. She stretched her brows and eyes, and couldn't help pecking Xiao Wanqing's lips quickly, then bent down to pay her respects, and joked with a smile: "Okay, follow my Highness Princess."
Driving can actually tell a lot about a person's inner character.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Wanqing looked calm and steady on the surface, but actually she was paying attention to Lin Xian's operation and road conditions. To her surprise, Lin Xian behaved aggressively and decisively. Apart from being a little nervous and unskilled in driving, Lin Xian was the opposite of that, calm and steady, neither fighting nor grabbing. Extraordinarily calm and composed.
Xiao Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief quietly, feeling a little more relieved about Lin Xian's driving in the future.
She lowered the car window and looked sideways at the rolling sea under the bridge. She really had a little leisure time for a drive. She let the refreshing night wind blow her long hair, and there was a sincere and comfortable smile on the corner of her lips.
Lin Xian glanced sideways at Xiao Wanqing, seeing his sweetheart's rare and completely relaxed expression, his heart also slowly flew up along with the cool wind blowing in from the window.
Lin Xian got off the bridge, pondered for a while, took the opportunity to ask Xiao Wanqing for a reward and said: "Student Xiao Xiaowan, I passed all the subjects I am so good at once, do you want to reward me?"
Xiao Wanqing couldn't help chuckling when she heard that she was not shy at all. She glanced at Lin Xian and teased her, "Didn't I treat you to dinner and a movie tonight?"
"That's a celebration, not a reward." Lin Xian retorted bluntly and confidently. "I don't care, you just reward me, he is super serious and hard working in learning to drive." Lin Xian began to play cute and coquettish in a soft voice.
Xiao Wanqing liked her the most. Every time she started to act like a baby, she felt soft-hearted and had no resistance. She was still resignedly serious in the last sentence: "Driving and paying attention to the road, don't move around." In the next sentence, she compromised and pampered her: "Then what reward do you want?"
Lin Xian immediately replied: "On the weekend of June 15th, shall we go outing and camping together? Well, there are Man Man, Zhi Jin, Chen Zhi, Tang Mo and the others. Of course, if you mind them, we will also You can go by yourself. If you are going all the way with Manman, she can help you bring more equipment for camping, and even provide a bodyguard to keep watch at night."
"June 15?" Xiao Wanqing murmured subconsciously. Lin Xian said the date instead of saying... "your birthday". Did she arrange it on purpose, or was it just a coincidence that she didn't know
Lin Xian pretended not to see Xiao Wanqing's doubts, and nodded affirmatively and generously: "Well, we had a preliminary discussion, and we all think that day is the best."
Xiao Wanqing suppressed the suspicion and slight disappointment in her heart, and said worriedly: "Will they feel uncomfortable if you go to play together and bring me, an old aunt?"
Lin Xian pouted, gave Xiao Wanqing a dissatisfied look, and corrected her seriously: "What old aunt! What's wrong with you? You are my girlfriend, and they are my friends. Isn't it nice to hang out with a friend's girlfriend? Is it normal?" She paused, observed Xiao Wanqing's expression carefully, and asked her: "Chen Zhi and Tang Mo don't know about our relationship, do you... mind if they know?"
She saw that Xiao Wanqing hesitated obviously.
Lin Xian turned his eyes away and stared ahead, with deep disappointment flashing in his heart.
Maybe she was naive.
She is obviously not the kind of person who cares about other people's eyes, but in the eyes of others, the knowledge of her and Xiao Wanqing's couple status makes her very concerned. It doesn't have to be recognition, it doesn't have to be a blessing, it's just to let others know that they already belong to each other. Xiao Wanqing didn't want others to know about their relationship, which inexplicably made her feel insecure.
She was subconsciously afraid that others would covet Xiao Wanqing unknowingly, just like Wen Tong. She was afraid that Xiao Wanqing's refusal to make it public was giving each other a way out, but she never wanted a way out.
Apart from Xiao Wanqing, she has no other way, and she doesn't need any other way.
Xiao Wanqing asked Lin Xian not to reveal their relationship easily. On the one hand, it was naturally to protect Lin Xian who didn't know the world, and on the other hand, it also meant to leave Lin Xian with a way out.
In this world, if more than two people know about one thing, it is actually not a secret.
It is a person who has a really close mouth and can be trusted, but after all, the more people know, the greater the possibility of being known by more people. She was afraid that Lin Xian would be labeled with various labels because of this. Even if she left her one day, this label would be difficult to wash off.
But when she saw the hard-to-disguise disappointment flashing in Lin Xian's eyes, she felt a pain in her heart, and finally her emotion overwhelmed her reason, she let go and told her: "I don't mind. Xianxian, what I'm afraid of is that you mind." Chen Zhi and Tang Mo were not important people to her, so she naturally didn't care. What she was afraid of was that Lin Xian would mind in the future.
But now Lin Xian, who is full of affection, naturally doesn't mind. She answered Xiao Wanqing decisively: "Of course I don't mind, I'm too happy, why should I mind?"
Xiao Wanqing looked at the girl's clear and firm eyes with pity and love. In the end, she didn't have the heart to explain the beating of the girl anymore, but while waiting for the red street light, she took the girl's delicate hand, and put a soft kiss on the back of her hand.
After returning to the community, Lin Xian got out of the car and went to the reception room to pick up the courier that she was notified to collect this morning. Xiao Wanqing changed into the driver's seat and drove the car back to the parking garage.
When Xiao Wanqing parked the car and went upstairs, the door of the house was half closed, showing that Lin Xian had already returned home before her. After she closed the door and entered the living room, she saw Lin Xian squatting in front of the coffee table excitedly unpacking the courier package.
Lin Xian looked at the card attached to the package, and explained to Xiao Wanqing naturally: "Aunt Xiao, the package was sent by Xu Chengjun, the brother of the neighbor who I mentioned to you who was studying in the United States. He said it was for me on June 1st." Gift."
When Xiao Wanqing hadn't thought about Lin Xian that she shouldn't have, she heard Lin Xian mention Xu Chengjun several times, but she didn't take it seriously at the time. However, at this moment, when she heard the name from Lin Xian again, she felt a strange sense of discomfort in her heart.
She sat down beside Lin Xian, carefully looked at the snacks and cosmetics in the package, which were all in English, and secretly remembered that these might be Lin Xian's favorite things. Until, when Lin Xian finally took out one from the package, which looked like a complete set of couple cups, the vague discomfort in her heart suddenly magnified to the extreme.
The faint smile on her gentle face didn't reach her eyes, she turned her eyes unnaturally, and landed on the pillow of the sofa beside her. She lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes concealed the expression in her eyes, as if she was careless, she said lightly: "This cup is quite unique."
Lin Xian was immersed in the novelty of looking at the gift, and didn't notice Xiao Wanqing's different expression and tone from usual. When she heard Xiao Wanqing's words, she looked at the cup a few more times, and then echoed: "Well, it's quite unique, it seems to have a sense of art."
Xiao Wanqing pursed her lips, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes dimmed further and further.
Lin Xian looked at the cup, and suddenly remembered something that had been stuck in her heart for a long time. A sly smile flashed in her eyes, and she pointedly reminded Xiao Wanqing: "Let's put this away first, the few cups we just bought two months ago are still useless."
After buying those couple toothcups and toothbrushes, she went to check the bathroom in Aunt Xiao's bedroom several times, and saw that Aunt Xiao kept them in the cabinet and never took them out for use. What's the point of using a couple's condom alone. She sadly put away all the couple suits that she had placed on the sink with great anticipation.
When Xiao Wanqing heard the girl's casual words, she brushed the broken hair in her ears, her eyes staring at the cup flickered, but she still didn't speak.
In the evening, Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing said good night, and went to their own bathroom to wash up alone.
She stood in front of the mirror, brushed half of her teeth, stared down at the cup in her hand that had been used since Xiao Wanqing's house, couldn't help biting the toothbrush, stopped, opened the cabinet next to it again, and took out the cup in the cupboard. They bought her couple toothcup and toothbrush together at that time, held them in their hands, and looked at them with nostalgia.
She begged Xiao Wanqing to buy a couple set, now, do you want to force her to use it? If only Aunt Xiao could take the initiative a little more.
While feeling melancholy, she heard a light knock on the open bathroom door, and then, the light footsteps of a woman rang in her ears.
Lin Xian subconsciously wanted to reach out and put the cup back into the cabinet, but Xiao Wanqing's footsteps were faster than her movements, and the woman's gentle and beautiful face appeared in the mirror in front of her in a second.
Lin Xian blinked, and put the cup on the sink without hesitation. She took off the toothbrush in her mouth, stared at the mirror, and asked Xiao Wanqing suspiciously: "Aunt Xiao, why are you here?"
She saw the beautiful woman in the mirror, holding a tooth cup in the same style as the one she had just put down, and gently swayed towards her.
Then, Xiao Wanqing stood beside her comfortably, and put the cup next to hers.
Two cups, one white and one red, form a flawless love heart.
The woman turned her face sideways, smiled to Lin Xian with watery eyes, and said, "I'll brush my teeth with my little girl."
In the next second, Xiao Wanqing's lips curved even deeper, and she softly sighed in her heart: Tomorrow, bring the towel too.
Because the girl covered her face with toothpaste foam.
