Two days before Xiao Wanqing's birthday, Wen Tong's birthday gift specially sent from Nagasawa City arrived. After all, it was a gift from a rival in love. Lin Xian was more nervous than Xiao Wanqing when she watched Xiao Wanqing unwrap the gift.
She... spent most of her part-time salary to buy the gift, and as soon as she revealed it to Xia Zhijin, Xia Zhijin laughed. Although she really thought that Aunt Xiao would like it, after all, even the cold and dignified Sister Zhijin laughed at her for this gift, which inevitably made her lose some confidence.
When Xiao Wanqing completely opened the package, revealing the thick stack of books inside, Lin Xian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that it is very satisfactory, not outstanding.
But before she was completely relieved, she saw Xiao Wanqing took out a very old-looking book from a stack of books, rubbed it lightly, and then, her eyes had an unusually bright look.
Lin Xian looked at the book carefully, and his heart skipped a beat. She gritted her back molars secretly, pretending to be casual and asked Xiao Wanqing: "Aunt Xiao, do you like this book very much?"
The corners of Xiao Wanqing's lips showed obvious joy, and she nodded and answered her: "This book is out of print now, I wanted to buy it last year, but seeing that the price was raised to an unbelievable level, I hesitated and decided not to buy it. But I still can’t help remembering it in my heart, I mentioned it when I was chatting with Wen Tong some time ago, but she remembered it unexpectedly.”
Xiao Wanqing will choose to bring e-books with her to read unless she has to go on a business trip, otherwise she still loves paper books the rest of the time. Moreover, Xu has a family background and a background in majors. She has an almost harsh pursuit of the edition of books.
Coincidentally, Wen Tong is the same as her. Therefore, they often communicate with each other about Taoshu.
Lin Xian's little head drooped unconsciously, Wen Tong knew it, but he didn't.
In fact, due to the relationship between her father and grandfather, her family has a rich collection of books, and there are also many old editions of books that have been scoured. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she also knew a thing or two about this aspect.
She fell on Xiao Wanqing's shoulder dejectedly, and complained sullenly: "We talk so much every day, and you haven't discussed with me that you want this book."
Xiao Wanqing put the book back on the tea table, laughed dumbfoundedly, touched the girl's cheek, and coaxed her: "I'm afraid you're not interested."
Although Lin Xian maintains a certain amount of reading every week like her on weekdays, she observed that most of what Lin Xian reads are bestsellers on the market. She naturally guessed that Lin Xian, a child of his age who is not a major in literature and history, should not be interested in things like hunting for books and buying old books at high prices because of demanding editions, so she didn't talk to her about this.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xian refuted her seriously: "You know I'm not interested even if you don't even ask me?" During this period of dating, she actually gradually felt that the topics Xiao Wanqing chatted with herself were interesting. optional. She didn't know which topics Xiao Wanqing had quietly excluded her from.
She raised her head and communicated with Xiao Wanqing sincerely: "You didn't ask me, so I can't tell you. Actually, I'm also very interested." She carefully picked up the book, handed it to Xiao Wanqing, and said with a smile: "No. The first word on the first line on the one hundred and fifty-sixth page is the word 'ruler', can you see it?"
Xiao Wanqing was stunned for a moment, took the book from her hand, turned the letter to the page she said suspiciously, and checked it, it was really as she said. She raised her head to look at Lin Xian, she had eyes that Lin Xian had never seen before, tenderness and amazingness, which made Lin Xian's heart sweet and soft.
Lin Xian suppressed his joy, stared at Xiao Wanqing calmly, and explained: "My parents are both book lovers, so I also have this book at home. I copied it when I was free to practice calligraphy a few years ago during the summer vacation. I didn’t pay attention to this book at the time, and when I changed the water for the pen, most of the pages of the book were blurred with the pen water. My mother was provoked by the students in class that day, and I was in a bad mood. I hit the gun again, and she He talked about the old accounts together and taught me a lesson, so I was very impressed."
She took Xiao Wanqing's hand and said with a smile: "Later, when I grew up, I would occasionally hear them chatting at the dinner table about buying books, and gradually realized the preciousness of some hard-to-reprint books and their The demandingness of certain book editions, reading habits and book-buying habits have also begun to approach them."
"Look, in fact, does Lin Xiaoxian know more than you think, and is more interested in things than you think?"
Xiao Wanqing stared deeply at Lin Xian, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and sincerely admitted her mistake: "It's because I didn't think too much." It was her, who took it for granted.
Lin Xian was still not satisfied, she grinned open her mouth to reveal her lovely white teeth, and said strictly like a teacher: "You asked less, so, student Xiao Xiaowan, what do you want?"
Xiao Wanqing gently closed her eyes and smiled, and obediently agreed to her: "I want to change."
Lin Xian was instantly satisfied, swept away the previous depression, and happily smacked Xiao Wanqing's lips.
Some things, some habits, are dictated by personality. Lin Xian does not force Xiao Wanqing to fully open herself to her all at once, but she hopes that she can slowly and subtly let Xiao Wanqing trust her more, so that in this relationship, she can enjoy more, let go and relax more a little.
And she, she will continue to work hard towards Xiao Wanqing, and strive to grow into the person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Wanqing.
On June 14th, Friday, the day before Xiao Wanqing's birthday, the front desk of the magazine began to sign for Xiao Wanqing's bouquets one after another. She has kept a distance from everyone, but there will always be some people who feel good about themselves, who are full of confidence, and Xiao Wanqing is helpless.
As usual, she didn't take any of the bundles, and asked the front desk to hand them over to whoever wanted them. The magazine office is obviously full of floral fragrance, but surprisingly, there is a dark sour smell.
Some broken-mouthed people spoke sour words behind their backs again.
Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. From Xiao Wanqing's inexplicable grievances at the beginning, in the end, she became so numb that she got used to it.
Therefore, Xiao Wanqing is not looking forward to or happy about birthdays or even special festivals every year. But this year is different. This year, she has vague expectations for her birthday.
Because, she has Lin Xian.
Although, Lin Xian has not made it clear until today that she knows that tomorrow is her birthday.
Early on Saturday morning, Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing got up early, washed and ate, and then went out with a bag on their backs. Lin Xian's belly was bulging, and he didn't know what was in it. Xiao Wanqing was afraid that she would be too heavy, so she asked her to put some in her bag, but Lin Xian refused.
They made an appointment with Shi Man, at half past nine, Xia Zhijin picked up Chen Zhi and the others, and we all met at the entrance of a supermarket that we would pass by on the way to the highway.
When Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing came out of the supermarket holding hands and shopping bags full of snacks, they saw Shi Man and Xia Zhijin from afar, standing with their backs on the square in front of the supermarket, waiting eagerly.
Xiao Wanqing subconsciously looked down at the hand she and Lin Xian were holding, and Lin Xian's hand holding her seemed to tighten a little under her gaze.
She heard Lin Xian asking herself softly: "Can I introduce you to them?"
What is introduced is self-evident.
Xiao Wanqing looked at the girl's sincerely expecting eyes, and lowered her eyelids. After a while, she smiled lightly in relief, then squeezed Lin Xian's hand tightly, and said softly, "Then let's go."
As soon as the words fell, she saw Lin Xian smiling in an instant. The girl led her and impatiently quickened her pace towards the four young girls.
"Manman, Momo, here..." Lin Xian came before he could speak.
Hearing the sound, Shi Man, Xia Zhijin, Chen Zhi and Tang Mo all turned around at the same time and looked towards the entrance of the supermarket. When they saw Xiao Wanqing next to Lin Xian, everyone politely said hello to the elders first with one voice: "Xiao..."
But as soon as they said the word "Xiao", Lin Xian interrupted them decisively: "Wait!"
Everyone couldn't help being stunned, and before they could close their mouths, they saw Lin Xian lift his interlocking hands with Xiao Wanqing's and shook them in front of them. In the next second, they heard Lin Xian say calmly, "Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Xiao Wanqing."
Lin Xian's clear voice, like an arrow piercing the sky, made a "swoosh" sound in their minds, making Chen Zhi and Tang Mo completely forget to close their open mouths.
My brain seems to be a little out of control.
In Xiao Wanqing's 30s, she has long been used to seeing various scenes, but when she heard Lin Xian introduce her to her friends in such a serious manner, she suddenly became nervous like a little girl who had never seen the scene before, and her heart beat faster, bringing out A little bit ashamed. She stared at the young girls in front of her. Their fair faces gradually turned crimson, making them more and more beautiful.
Shi Man and Xia Zhijin knew about it a long time ago, so they were not surprised at all. They smiled, and just about to say hello to Xiao Wanqing, Chen Zhi and Tang Mo beside them suddenly came back to their senses, patted each other's shoulders regardless of their image, and cursed: "F*ck, shit, shit! I didn't listen Wrong, not dreaming, right?"
"It hurts, it hurts, it's not a dream!" Tang Mo replied while avoiding Chen Zhi's slap.
Chen Zhi all of a sudden came to Lin Xian, grabbed Lin Xian's arm, and said excitedly: "Ah!" She would tell Lin Xian that ever since she knew that Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian both liked girls, she secretly prodded her. Have you ever been cute with CP? Especially after Lin Xian was caught that night, when she asked about Lin Xian's future, the rare shy and affectionate look on Lin Xian's face really opened her cp's mind and made her dream. At that time, she still felt that she had sinned deeply, but she never expected that her fantasy would come true!
She obviously wanted to say something more, but when she saw Xiao Wanqing beside Lin Xian, she stopped talking all of a sudden, regaining her ladylike image. She forced herself to be excited, and reservedly greeted Xiao Wanqing: "Xiao A..." Before she could finish speaking, Tang Mo came closer and said pleasantly, "Hello, sister Xiao!"
"Hahahaha." Shiman couldn't help laughing, she hadn't realized that Tang Mo was so capable and sweet-mouthed before.
Never expected that Tang Mo's next sentence would be: "Sister, as Lin Xian's good friend, I want to confess to you that Lin Xian is actually...not as cute as me. Sister, do you want to consider changing your girlfriend, for example, Me..." She blinked at Xiao Wanqing earnestly, poached the wall in front of Lin Xian, and said very sincerely.
"Tang Momo, do you owe me a beating? Spring is over. Why are you, a red apricot with a master, still out of the wall? Come on, use the scissors!" Lin Xian was so angry that he wanted to poke Tang Mo's itchy flesh. He went straight to hide behind Chen Zhi.
The atmosphere suddenly lightened up.
There was a smile on Xiao Wanqing's lips, and she was still a little embarrassed, but it disappeared without a trace after being teased by Tang Mo and Lin Xian.
One thing that she thought would be embarrassing for at least a while, Lin Xian's friends seemed to digest it in such a calm and stress-free manner.
Sometimes, Xiao Wanqing would feel that because she was with Lin Xian, everything seemed to be more difficult.
But sometimes, she also feels that because she is with Lin Xian, many things seem to be less difficult than she imagined.
