Chapter 33

Although Lin Xian is a native of Anjiang City, but before university, he rarely set foot in the southern district. In her limited memory, she seems to only remember that she once went to a certain beach barbecue here with her classmates during the spring outing in junior high school. At that time, the section of the road around the island that she is riding now has not yet been built.

Fortunately, although it was the first time for her to set foot on this road around the island, she found that the road seemed to go straight along the sea, and there were few turns.

There are very few vehicles on the Huandao Road under the night, and it is obviously a bit lonely. All the way can only hear the whistling cold wind and the crashing sound of waves crashing against the coast. Fortunately, the moonlight is soft tonight, and tall street lamps stand on both sides of the non-motorized vehicle lane, casting dim and warm light, adding some warmth to the cold night.

After walking for a certain distance, passing through the Music Square, it finally seemed to be a little popular, and there were more cyclists riding two or three-person bicycles on the road. While looking at the road, Lin Xian couldn't help but watch their embarrassing appearance as soon as they got into the car and couldn't control their balance. Hearing the exclamation and laughter of those people intertwined with joy, and feeling the gentle strength around her waist, she couldn't help yearning for it, thinking: If there is a chance, let's try it with Aunt Xiao, no? I know, can Aunt Xiao know how to ride a bicycle...

Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Wanqing's hand around her waist moved away for a moment, and then, her warm and pleasant voice accompanied by a warm breath rang in her ears: "Xianxian, your script is very well written. Definitely fine. The formatting might need a little tweaking, though."

Xiao Wanqing probably lifted the windshield lens up a little. Lin Xian thought.

Her ears, which had been blown cold by the wind, gradually began to feel hot and itchy with the blowing of Xiao Wanqing's warm breath. Lin Xian clenched the handle of the car subconsciously, and subconsciously accelerated the car a little.

She saw it, so she... made her sad? Did she see the note she wrote? Does she know what he wants to convey to her

Lin Xian hesitated, wondering if he should take the initiative to bring up this topic. She hadn't considered a result yet, Xiao Wanqing's next actions disrupted the rhythm of her thinking and the rhythm of her heartbeat.

Xiao Wanqing, from behind, got closer to her. Lin Xian felt in a daze that Xiao Wanqing was tightly enclosing him in his arms.

She gently rested her chin on Lin Xian's shoulder, and poked it playfully twice, her voice was soft and sincere, with a slight smile: "Thank you, Lin Xian."

It was like a firework exploded in my heart.

This is Xiao Wanqing's first time showing her affection so intimately.

Does this mean that she has really shortened the distance from Xiao Wanqing's heart, shed Xiao Wanqing's defensiveness, and melted a little bit of ice in her heart...

Lin Xian was ecstatic in his heart, his heart was ups and downs, and the waves were turbulent, but he didn't dare to show it too much. She clenched the handlebars of the car for a long time before she suppressed her emotions, pretended to be calm, tilted her head slightly as if nothing had happened, tapped the helmet on Xiao Wanqing's head behind her with her head, and teased her: "Thank you, I I just want to thank you, Aunt Xiao, and I will trouble you to guide me in the format." There was still a bit of unconcealable joy in the voice.

Xiao Wanqing frowned, answered her words, and teased her: "Then will you pay my tuition?"

Lin Xian's voice tensed immediately, and he feigned anger and said, "Wow, Aunt Xiao, you actually use money to measure our friendship, and you want to charge me tuition. No, you annoy me, I'm angry, I want to run away It's gone!" After that, taking advantage of the fact that there were no pedestrians on this section of the road, she increased the speed of the car again, and deliberately swayed slightly from side to side.

Xiao Wanqing always pays attention to driving, and has always been a person who abides by the rules of the road. Seeing the situation, she immediately hugged Lin Xian tightly and begged for mercy: "Lin Xian, don't make trouble, it's dangerous."

"Xianxian, I was wrong..."

Lin Xian laughed loudly, slowed down a bit, and deliberately teased her: "No, it's too late, the rampage has already started, and it can't be stopped..."

Seeing her slow down a little, Xiao Wanqing knew that she had a sense of proportion in her heart, so she relaxed, and thought of joking with her again. Her hands that tightly hugged her slender waist loosened, and instead rested on both sides of Lin Xian's waist. With a half-smile, she said softly, "Well, then, how about I find the switch on you to turn off the runaway mode?" After finishing speaking, she demonstrated two fingers and gently touched Lin Xian's waist. He poked and poked, as if he was about to grope for something.

Lin Xian suddenly understood the implication of Xiao Wanqing's words, and the alarm sounded in his heart, twisted his waist, and refused in panic: "No, there is no button..."

Xiao Wanqing was pleased by her panic, couldn't help laughing, and the brisk laughter overflowed from her vermilion lips, soft and sweet...

Facing the cold wind, Lin Xian couldn't help but frowned softly.

On both sides of the road, tall king palm trees cast slender and long shadows, quietly listening to the joy of passers-by. The ups and downs of laughter...

After walking for another tens of minutes, Lin Xian noticed that the number of people on the road really increased, so much so that she had to stop the car a few times and wait for the passing pedestrians to pass by before moving on.

When forced to stop again, Lin Xian glanced across the road inadvertently, and found that the scene on the opposite side seemed to be different from the road ahead. There, the lights were brilliant, there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, and the faint sound of music came over.

Lin Xian asked Xiao Wanqing curiously: "Aunt Xiao, why does the other side seem to be so lively?"

Xiao Wanqing also looked towards the opposite side when she heard the words. In the dark, she saw the somewhat familiar plaque hanging in the air at the entrance of the street, and her beautiful brows sank slightly. She answered Lin Xian softly: "This is a well-known street in the Southern District, called Xiangnan Road. It can be regarded as a scenic spot. There are many snacks and delicacies, as well as many cafes, boutiques and bars. It is the most lively at night. It is one of the must-see places for tourists who come here.”

Lin Xian was a little moved. She didn't know if she had a psychological hint after listening to Xiao Wanqing's words. She even felt that she could vaguely smell the tempting fragrance of the snacks opposite, and suddenly felt hungry and articulate. She suggested, "Let's go and have a look, shall we?"

Xiao Wanqing's hanging hands were slightly clenched into fists, and after a while, she agreed in a warm voice: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Lin Xian parked the car on the side of the square road not far away, locked it, and then walked back with Xiao Wanqing, crossed an overpass, and arrived at the opposite Xiangnan Road.

Novelty and excitement occupied Lin Xian's mind, so much so that she didn't realize that there was only a faint expression on Xiao Wanqing's face, and her usual gentle smile was hard to find.

As expected, there are many people in Xiangnan Road. Just standing at the intersection, you can see that the narrow street is full of heat and pedestrians are jostling shoulder-to-shoulder. In some places, the line waiting to buy even lined up one meter away. The yelling and hawking of small vendors and the chattering and frolicking of tourists merged into a hustle and bustle of voices, arousing Lin Xian to become more and more excited.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Xian stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Wanqing's hand, held it tightly, tilted his head and explained to Xiao Wanqing cunningly: "There are a lot of people inside, let's not get separated."

Xiao Wanqing's brows were gentle, she didn't break free, she even gently shook her back, and nodded in response: "Okay."

Lin Xian clenched Xiao Wanqing's soft hands contentedly, and walked in side by side with Xiao Wanqing. While walking, he looked at the vendors on both sides, and asked Xiao Wanqing casually: "Aunt Xiao, have you been here before?"

Xiao Wanqing's footsteps froze slightly upon hearing this. She looked towards the deepest part of the street, seeing the lights and prosperity there as before, her eyes dimmed. After a while, Lin Xian heard Xiao Wanqing's voice say to her lightly: "I've been here two or three times."

It was only then that Lin Xian noticed Xiao Wanqing's abnormality. She stopped, turned around and looked at Xiao Wanqing, and saw her staring blankly at the bustling bustle in front of her. There was depression and sadness in her eyes that she couldn't understand.

Lin Xian didn't know that this place, this street, had witnessed the splendid beginning and lonely ending of Xiao Wanqing's first love.

She didn't lie to Lin Xian, she really only came here two or three times. The first time was during the first year of research, she, Wen Tong, and... Yan Jia, the three of them came together.

At that time, the three of them were both graduate students in the Chinese Department. Wen Tong was her advisor, but Yan Jia was not. But Yan Jia graduated from a top 1 prestigious university with a bachelor's degree, and has a background of studying abroad and exchange. As soon as she entered the Graduate Student Union, she was highly valued. She and Wen Tong participated in several activities under the leadership of Yan Jia, and gradually became acquainted with each other. I don't know when Yan Jia started chasing her blatantly. Xiao Wanqing was unbelievable at the beginning, and gradually became at a loss later on. Maybe it was Yan Jia's enthusiasm that moved her actively, or maybe it was Yan Jia's excellence that attracted her, she didn't know when she fell into a trap. But she followed the rules since she was a child, and she dared not and could not accept that she liked things of the same sex. Therefore, she has been suppressing herself, repeatedly rejecting Yan Jia cruelly, not daring to overstep the threshold.

That time, it was Yan Jia who begged her to give her one last chance, to give her the last good memories, and she hoped that she could go out with her for Christmas. She couldn't bear to refuse, but she was also afraid of doing something out of the ordinary. So, she asked Wen Tong to go with her, and the three of them went together.

Yan Jia was in the open-air bar deep in this alley, in front of the microphone, in full view of everyone, staring at her intently, and sang "Like Love" for her. She looked at Xiao Wanqing with tearful eyes, choked up and said, "You are afraid, I will not force you. I wish you happiness..." Then, she got up and ran outside. Xiao Wanqing's heart seemed to be crushed by something in an instant, and suddenly, the pain was unbearable. Finally, she couldn't care about Wen Tong and the shocked gazes of others, and chased after her, and hugged tightly the thin and soft woman's body who was sobbing with her back under the street lamp, and with her actions, Wordlessly, accepting her...

At that time, she also thought that it was rare luck to meet a person who was sympathetic to each other in her life. As long as there is love in her heart, everything can be overcome. She should be brave for love, for herself, and for Yan Jia...

And reality, in the end, told her.

Innocence is not a luxury an adult can have.

The last time, she came with Wen Tong. She sat in that bar from five o'clock in the evening to two o'clock in the evening, looking at the karaoke stage where Yan Jia was familiar with, and drank one can after another... She was very dizzy and wanted to vomit , There was a burning pain in her throat and stomach, but it was not one ten thousandth of the pain in her heart. Wen Tong finally got annoyed, and yelled at her, "Have you had enough trouble, who would care about you even if you are here to die", and dragged her away.

Yes, what's the use. That day was Yan Jia's wedding day.

On the way back to the hotel, she became more and more sober as she walked, and the bitter taste entered her heart bit by bit. She stiffened her neck and bit her lip, trying not to let herself shed a tear. She told herself in her heart that it was over, so be it.

Since then, she has never stepped into this street again.

Xiao Wanqing didn't know why, but today she had the courage to come here again. It seems that since Lin Xian came to her home, she has gradually regained something...

She thought to herself, perhaps, it was the youthful vigor of young people that infected her.

She restrained her mind, turned her head to look at the girl beside her, just happened to bump into Lin Xian and turned her head to look at herself. Then, the girl turned her lips slightly to her, and asked her excitedly: "Aunt Xiao, can I eat that kebab?"

On weekdays, Zhou Qin also strictly controls Lin Xian's diet, strictly prohibiting her from eating roadside stalls and all kinds of junk food. Earlier, Zhou Qin also asked Xiao Wanqing to help take care of her. But today, looking at the girl's clear and expectant eyes, Xiao Wanqing softened her heart, and made an exception: "It's okay to eat once in a while, but you can't let your mother know."

Lin Xian immediately beamed with joy, and flatteringly praised Xiao Wanqing: "I knew that Aunt Xiao is the best." He jumped up and down to the booth and ordered a three-skewered barbecue.

Someone beside them was feeding ice cream to each other, exhaling after one gulp, smoke was coming out of their noses and mouths. Lin Xian looked at it in surprise, became interested, and asked aloud: "Hi, may I ask, where did you buy this ice cream?"

The other party was very kind, and patiently compared her to a stall a little further inside, and told her, "It's right there."

Lin Xian looked at Xiao Wanqing with bright eyes, and before she could speak, Xiao Wanqing said empathetically, "Go and buy it, I'll wait for you here."

Lin Xian showed her bright white teeth, beaming: "Okay, I'll be right back, Aunt Xiao, what flavor do you want?"

Xiao Wanqing originally wanted to say that she didn't need it, but seeing Lin Xian's earnest waiting expression, she changed her mind and said softly, "Maybe the original flavor or the matcha flavor."

"Okay... I'll go back as soon as I go." The girl ran away in a hurry.

Xiao Wanqing looked at her lively figure, which disappeared into the crowd, and silently softened her face.

The speed of grilling was much faster than Xiao Wanqing imagined. After she got the kebab she just ordered, Lin Xian hadn't returned yet. Xiao Wanqing thought for a while and took the initiative to find Lin Xian.

Lin Xian also happened to take the two cups of ice cream that the boss handed her. When she turned around, the only thing she saw was Xiao Wanqing standing behind her with a smile on her face while holding a kebab in one hand that was incompatible with her temperament.

Lin Xian frowned unconsciously. She handed a cup of ice cream to Xiao Wanqing, and then scooped up a small spoon with a spoon, but instead of facing herself, she handed it to Xiao Wanqing's mouth naturally, and said softly, "Aunt Xiao, try it."

The girl's face was innocent and bright. Xiao Wanqing was slightly taken aback, her eyes gradually softened, as if water could drip out. She lowered her head, her long and thick eyelashes flickered slightly, and she replied to Lin Xian, "Okay."

The red lips parted slightly, moved closer, and took the spoon that Lin Xian handed out in one bite.

The prelude to the song in the bar in the distance ended, and a deep magnetic male voice sang softly: "She is a thirty-year-old woman who has not yet married. There are a few wrinkles around her eyes in her smiling face..."

Lin Xian's outstretched hand gradually became stiff, and he stared at Xiao Wanqing with deep eyes. She watched Xiao Wanqing lower her head and droop her eyes, the tip of her bright red tongue was slightly exposed, she watched her long eyelashes flutter, the tip of her nose was as smooth as jade, she watched her soft hair slipping down in front of her eyes, her red lips parted slightly, She breathed a sigh of relief, and in an instant, the smoke obscured her soft and beautiful face.

Everything around seemed to be still. In Lin Xian's eyes, only Xiao Wanqing was left behind the mist, smiling at her lips, just like a person in a painting.

Lin Xian's heart trembled suddenly, his throat twitched, and he stared at Xiao Wanqing with scorching eyes as if he wanted to burn a mark on Xiao Wanqing's heart.

Maybe it was because the night was too beautiful, or the love she first met when she was young was too overwhelming, she finally couldn't hold back, closed her eyes slightly, and leaned close to Xiao Wanqing, and said in a soft voice: "Aunt Xiao, tonight's moon The colors are so beautiful…”

"I like the tenderness unique to thirty-year-old women..." the singing voice rang out along with her words...

Lin Xian saw Xiao Wanqing's beautiful eyes staring at her, and there was a slight shock for a moment, and then he opened his eyes wide...

Ah…

The author has something to say: Note: The moonlight tonight is so beautiful, it is a classic confession statement by Japanese writer Natsume Suishi. Lin Xian knew that Xiao Wanqing, who was born in the Chinese Department, must understand.

Lin Xiaoxian's first confession, the little milk dog type...

Later, emmm...

Lin Xian smiled: Aunt Xiao, do you want to look for other switches on my body? (cover face)
