Later, until the two played checkers from chess, they did not wait for the light. During the break between playing chess and chess, Lin Xian fumbled around in the TV cabinet, and unexpectedly found a few famous thriller discs. Immediately, he was very excited and invited Xiao Wanqing to watch it together.
Xiao Wanqing didn't even remember the source of these discs. Looking at the cover of the discs glowing red light under the faint candlelight, she felt terrified.
Lin Xian didn't know that Xiao Wanqing had always been very afraid of bloody and supernatural stories. In the early years when I was young, I stayed in the house, and I couldn’t bear the curiosity to read a little bit under the instigation of my roommate, but every time, without exception, I couldn’t sleep at night, and I had to wake everyone up to go to the bathroom with her. ending. Later, when her roommates found out about her problem, when they watched this kind of film or even told this kind of story, they explicitly ordered her not to participate in it—I can’t afford it! Every time she watched this kind of film, it was probably the most embarrassing time for her... Later, she lived alone all year round, knowing that she was timid, so naturally she kept her at a respectful distance.
Fortunately, there was a power outage today, and Xiao Wanqing had a legitimate reason. She reached out and put the disc back into the distance, and said to Lin Xian regretfully, "You forgot, the power is out now, where can I watch it."
Lin Xian said "Oh", and his voice was full of regret: "It's a pity, look, the night is dark and windy, and the wind and rain are blowing. Such a night is clearly an excellent time to watch a thriller." While speaking, The violent wind and rain outside the window suddenly and violently hit the glass of the window, making a loud "bang bang bang" sound.
Xiao Wanqing was falling into a terrifying memory, when she heard a voice suddenly, her whole body trembled involuntarily.
When she raised her head, she saw Lin Xian staring at her fiercely. There was a very obvious smirk on the corner of her lips, and her tone was somewhat clear: "Aunt Xiao, are you afraid?"
Xiao Wanqing tried to stay calm, pulled out a smile, and said bravely: "I didn't..."
Hearing this, Lin Xian got closer to Xiao Wanqing, put his chin on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Then wait for the call, Aunt Xiao, let's watch together, okay..."
Xiao Wanqing was stiffly thinking about how to get rid of her terrible thought, when she heard the girl add pitifully: "I really want to see it, but I'm scared to watch it alone... Aunt Xiao, please stay with me Well… "
The sweet and soft voice lingered in her ears, she turned her head and saw Lin Xian's sincere bright eyes, finally, she still couldn't bear to say no, and promised her: "Okay, wait for the electricity …”
So, for the next time, Lin Xian was full of anticipation and brooding, why didn't he call! In the end, until the hands of the wall clock pointed to eleven, the electricity that Lin Xian was thinking about did not arrive. Lin Xian had no choice but to compromise, and the two washed up in the dark, said good night, and went back to their rooms to rest.
When I woke up the next day, the sky outside the window was already clear and sunny. This time, Lin Xian's first reaction was, is there a call? ! Although it was said that there was going to be class tomorrow, a film would only last two or three hours. She acted like a baby to Xiao Wanqing, and Xiao Wanqing would definitely obey her. If the call comes, they can watch a movie together tonight!
She reached out her hand on the switch next to the bedside table not far away, and pressed it nervously, with a "click", the desk lamp turned on. Immediately, Lin Xian lost all sleepiness, sat up excitedly, and got out of bed without putting on his slippers, so he was going to share the good news with Xiao Wanqing.
"Aunt Xiao! There's electricity..." Xiao Wanqing's bedroom door was open, and before seeing Xiao Wanqing's figure, she couldn't help cheering.
Before people arrive, the sound arrives first. Xiao Wanqing was serving porridge for Lin Xian, when she heard Lin Xian's energetic voice, her eyes were stained with a smile. When she heard the sound of people approaching, she turned around and looked out the door, and saw Lin Xian's black hair was fluffy and frizzy on her head, and there were two red marks on her face that were pressed by the pillow. , obviously, just woke up, but the big eyes looking at her were not sleepy at all, and were shining brightly. "Aunt Xiao, there's a call! Let's watch a movie together tonight!" The girl repeated.
Xiao Wanqing couldn't help but laugh. How much I look forward to this child. Immediately, her eyes caught Lin Xian's bare feet, her brow raised a small peak, and she softly reminded her: "Why don't you wear shoes, the ground is so cold, you still have a cold."
Lin Xian lowered his head to look at his clean feet, and then he felt a chill, rushing up from the soles of his feet. She embarrassedly admitted her mistake: "I was in a hurry to tell you as soon as I was happy, and then I forgot." While talking, she turned and ran back to the room to put on her shoes.
She put on her shoes, and wanted to talk to Xiao Wanqing again, but just raised her legs and ran for two steps, as if she suddenly remembered something, she stopped. In the next second, she rushed into the bathroom like the wind.
…
Who is this chicken-nest-headed idiot in the mirror? If I read correctly, is there a mark of saliva on the corner of her mouth? !
Lin Xian collapsed a bit. Her usual image of a beautiful girl in front of Xiao Wanqing will no longer be able to keep it!
It was a long time before she appeared in front of Xiao Wanqing again. Lin Xian waited in a daze for the red marks on her face to disappear, then she reluctantly went out.
Xiao Wanqing greeted her to sit down and have breakfast, while teasing her with a smile: "Did you see a little worm who just woke up? His hair probably looks like this." As he spoke, Xiao Wanqing gestured to her.
Lin Xian pretended not to understand Xiao Wanqing's teasing, and groaned: "No, there is only one beautiful girl here." After speaking, she began to change the subject: "Aunt Xiao, do you know when the call came?"
Xiao Wanqing held the soup spoon in one hand and covered her lower abdomen with the other, and answered her without thinking: "It was about half past two, and the lights suddenly turned on."
Lin Xian lowered his head and said "Oh" casually, and took a sip of porridge. Two seconds later, she suddenly came to her senses and asked Xiao Wanqing, "Aunt Xiao, how do you know so clearly? Are you still up so late?" Looking at Xiao Wanqing calmly, his eyes were full of inquiries.
Xiao Wanqing stayed up all night taking care of her the day before yesterday, and only took a short rest at noon. She should have been very sleepy last night and slept very soundly. She looked at Xiao Wanqing carefully, only to find that Xiao Wanqing's complexion was indeed much paler than usual, and there was a bit of tiredness in her eyes. She looked down and noticed that Xiao Wanqing's hand was abnormally placed on her lower abdomen.
Xiao Wanqing was born in a scholarly family. Although her parents loved her a lot, they never relaxed their control over her. For these days, Lin Xian couldn't help being amazed whenever he saw Xiao Wanqing's natural and elegant demeanor inadvertently revealed. The so-called ladies from all walks of life, self-made romantic, probably should be like this.
Therefore, today Xiao Wanqing went uncharacteristically and only put one hand on the table. Obviously, it was very wrong. Thinking about it like this, she looked at Xiao Wanqing's expression again, and suddenly felt that even the gentle smile on Xiao Wanqing's lips seemed a little far-fetched and tired.
Lin Xian's heart tightened, and he was a little panicked. Before Xiao Wanqing could answer her, he added a concerned voice: "Aunt Xiao, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Wanqing moved the corner of her mouth, smiled, and comforted her with a gentle voice: "I'm fine, but my stomach feels a little uncomfortable at night, so I didn't sleep well."
Lin Xian asked nervously: "Is it an upset stomach? Is it something you ate yesterday that you can't digest? Did you take any medicine?"
The girl's brows became tighter and tighter following repeated questions. The concern and worry in his expression were evident.
Xiao Wanqing's heart warmed up, and her brows and eyes softened even more. She stretched out her hand, her fingertips were cool, and gently smoothed Lin Xian's frowning brows, and teased her: "Children, don't frown all the time, be careful that you will have forehead wrinkles early." After finishing speaking, she saw that Lin Xian was silent. With a sound, still looking worried, Wen Yan comforted her: "Don't worry, my stomach doesn't hurt. In the first two days, I occasionally hurt. It will be fine after a while."
Lin Xian didn't react at first, she was a little dazed, but when she did, her face became hot, and even the tips of her small ears turned red. The girl is thin-skinned, and always feels a little shy to talk about such intimate matters. But at this moment, there was a complex emotion of distress and anger that forcibly suppressed her shame.
After her menstrual period, she has always been regular and normal, and occasionally feels a little uncomfortable, but it is also within a tolerable range. But her good friend Yan Huan has always been deeply disturbed by it. Every time she feels the pain, it feels like she has gone through a life-and-death calamity. When the pain is severe, she can't even stand up. Lin Xian has been at the same table with her for three years, and he knows too well how terrible it will be if it hurts, so he has lingering fears about it.
She frowned and looked at Xiao Wanqing, her face became more and more gloomy. It was so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep at night, how painful it must be. If she hadn't found out, Xiao Wanqing would not have planned to tell herself, and continued as usual, enduring the pain, preparing three meals for her, and forced a smile on her face.
She didn't know why, she shouldn't, but she just felt a little angry.
Why not tell her? Why not let her help her
She raised her hand and gently took off Xiao Wanqing's fingers sweeping between her eyebrows, and slowly gathered her five fingers together, holding Xiao Wanqing's slender fingers in her palm and placing them on her knees. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Wanqing, the bright smile of the past faded from her face, and she communicated with Xiao Wanqing seriously: "Aunt Xiao, on the first day I moved in, we made an agreement that you promised to treat me as a mature woman. Is it right for someone with independent personality to look at it?"
Warmth slowly spread from the fingers held by Lin Xian, Xiao Wanqing stared at her hand surrounded by Lin Xian, and nodded gently.
Lin Xian's tone became somewhat aggrieved: "But you promised me so, but you didn't really do it."
Xiao Wanqing was slightly taken aback, and opened her mouth to argue, but Lin Xian didn't give her a chance, and continued: "As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. We live under the same roof. If you really treat me as a person, you can treat me as an equal." The object of communication is not an ignorant child, so should we help and take care of each other? I have a cold, you will take care of me, and you are not feeling well, and I can take care of you. "
Xiao Wanqing never expected that Lin Xian would think so much, she would always give her many surprises, yes, many surprises. When he is naive, he looks like a child who doesn't know the world. When he is serious, he is mature and precocious, different from people of the same age. With her thumb that was not wrapped in Lin Xian's palm, she gently stroked the back of Lin Xian's delicate hand, and said softly with a little apology: "Lin Xian, I didn't treat you as an ignorant child, you You should know." She didn't know how to explain to Lin Xian that this was not Lin Xian's problem, but her own.
Some people are used to sharing, while others are used to silence. She is just used to it, used to having no one to sue, and to bear it alone.
Lin Xian spread out his hands and turned his grip to interlock his fingers. She raised her eyebrows and curled her thin lips, her starry eyes were full of tenderness and sincerity: "Then you promise me that you will tell me if you feel uncomfortable in the future, okay? Although I am still young, I can still do many things. Aunt Xiao , we live together now, as you said, we are a family. In the future, you will not be alone, you can rely on me. "
Xiao Wanqing stared at Lin Xian blankly, with mixed feelings for a moment. How long has it been since she thought of the word "rely on", and she almost forgot the word for so long.
She was suddenly in a trance. Since she was a child, her parents said "We are your eternal harbor and support", and later, they drove her out; there was also a person who hugged her and whispered softly in her ear, "You still have me, I will be You will always rely on", and later, this person abandoned her. When she was young, the world charged her expensive tuition fees, and taught her that the backing of mountains will fall, and everyone will run away—people are valuable and self-reliant.
But this word is still too touching. Xiao Wanqing looked at Lin Xian's innocent face and her pair of clear eyes that had never been weathered. She was different from many people she met later, and there was only pure sincerity and warmth in her eyes. The tip of Xiao Wanqing's heart couldn't help trembling again and again. Young people, because they don't know how difficult the world is, promises can always be said so lightly, but they are always so sincere and beautiful.
She asked herself, can she be weak? It won't be long, until Lin Xian is unwilling, she borrows a little warmth from Lin Xian, borrows a little strength from her.
Be a little bit like a family, rely on her a little bit. That's not too greedy, is it? In this way, you won't hurt others, and you won't hurt yourself, right
She looked at Lin Xian burningly, and after a long while, she finally bent her eyebrows, looked bright, and agreed to her in a gentle voice: "Okay, I promise you. We are a family."
The tone is light and the smile is bright.
