Lin Xian took Xiao Wanqing's hand out of the auditorium, and followed Xiao Wanqing's footsteps to the parking lot. Occasionally, she secretly glanced at the elegant and charming woman beside her, and every time she looked at it, she felt that her heart seemed to become a small drum, beating a sonata called "I like you so much" in a hurry.

Xiao Wanqing's posture was relaxed and unaware. She stared ahead, unconsciously recalling Lin Xian's reaction in her mind, the girl's reaction to the surprise she sent—far beyond her expectations. She feels that she has passed the age when she has a girlish heart and romantic feelings. As a social person, in these years, gifts are more social, practical, and appropriate to her than anything else.

It turns out that at the very beginning, when a person receives a gift, is this the true joy

It turns out that what she has long forgotten in these years, and now her revived mood is like this - yes, seeing the joy expressed by the other party's surprise, she will also feel weak and overjoyed Mood.

Xiao Wanqing slowed down a little, and couldn't help looking sideways at the girl who touched her heart. Lin Xian noticed her gaze, and smiled sweetly at her, Xiao Wanqing's heart softened a bit. Her eyes moved to the gift that Lin Xian was holding on her chest, and the corners of her lips curved. She joked, "Aren't you really going to open it and have a look?"

In fact, she spent a lot of time thinking about this gift and entrusted several people to get it. If Lin Xian didn't care, she...probably, would be a little hypocritically sad and disappointed.

Lin Xian looked down at the gift in his arms, touched it like a baby, grinned, with white teeth, and said happily: "This is my greatest expectation and joy in the future. I want to be the finale, and I will put it on Watch it before going to bed tonight, in this way, you will always be smiling in your dreams."

Xiao Wanqing was immediately pleased by her, squeezed her tiger's mouth, and said angrily, "Nonsense."

Approaching the parking lot, Xiao Wanqing took out the car keys, suddenly remembered what she missed, stopped, and asked Lin Xian: "Do your friends know the way? Did you tell them how to get home?"

Only now did Lin Xian think of Shi Man and Chen Zhi who had been forgotten by her in the sky, her face froze, her heart skipped a beat, and her complexion suddenly became complicated. She had discussed it with Shiman before, and they would go to the supermarket together in Xia Zhijin's car and go home directly after shopping. But because of Xiao Wanqing's surprise, when the show just ended, she was full of Xiao Wanqing, and she didn't remember it at all. She didn't even say hello to them, and just followed Xiao Wanqing away. I don't know... where they are now, I couldn't find her and went home directly, did I scold her a hundred and eighty times in my heart...

She hastily took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and explained to Xiao Wanqing: "Aunt Xiao, I forgot to tell them, please wait for me." At the same time, she dialed Shiman's number.

Fortunately, within two or three seconds after the call was connected, the other party quickly picked up the call. Before Lin Xian could say anything, Shiman's teasing voice rang in Lin Xian's ears: "Well, Lin Xian, you said you were going to invite us to your home to celebrate your birthday, and you followed the beautiful woman without even saying hello. Gone? Prefer sex over friends!"

Lin Xian felt inexplicably guilty when he heard the words "prefer sex over friends". She quietly looked at Xiao Wanqing from the corner of her eye, making sure that Xiao Wanqing hadn't heard it, and then retorted weakly: "What are you talking about, I... I just forgot it for a while." After finishing speaking, she lowered her posture and said softly : "Sorry, I was wrong, Manman. Where are you now? Are Chen Zhi and Tang Mo with you?"

Seeing that she knew the current affairs, Shiman smiled briskly, and let her go: "You and Aunt Xiao come to the parking lot directly, I just stopped them. Now we are all in Zhijin's car, Just wait for you and Aunt Xiao to lead the way."

Lin Xian felt relieved immediately, and said joyfully, "Wow! Man Man, you are awesome! Man Man, you are such a kind-hearted little angel."

Xiao Wanqing stood aside, seeing Lin Xian's obsequious face, she couldn't help but curl her lips. Lin Xian's mouth is full of sweet and sweet words at his fingertips, coaxing people, I'm afraid no one will resist him...

I don't know who will be lucky enough to fall into this sweet trap in the future...

Shi Man didn't accept her tricks, scoffed at her disdainfully, and said bluntly: "Come on, come here quickly." After speaking, he hung up the phone mercilessly.

Lin Xian didn't care about Shiman's cold reception to her at all, and happily stepped forward to hold Xiao Wanqing's hand again, took Xiao Wanqing forward, and told Xiao Wanqing: "Manman said she was already in the parking lot, and they sat down Jin's car, come back with us."

It was the first time Xiao Wanqing heard that Xia Zhijin could drive, she was a little surprised: "Zhijin?" She was a little worried, because she actually treated these classmates who were about the same age as Lin Xian as children from the bottom of her heart. She tactfully suggested: "It may be late when we go back at night. Wouldn't it be safer if Zhijin is not familiar with the road conditions? We can also call a car to go home together now, and I will take them back at the end of the night. More convenient."

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xian heard the meaning behind Xiao Wanqing's words. Xiao Wanqing is always so tactful and gentle, never putting on the airs of an elder or an adult to forcefully tell them what to do or make suggestions, she is always so considerate and gentle, taking into account their feelings. Why doesn't she like such a person

She shook their hands, and comforted Xiao Wanqing: "Don't worry, Aunt Xiao, I heard from Manman that Zhijin has had her driver's license for more than a year. She is driving every day. Moreover, she has tutoring four times a week at night, and she always drives at night when she comes back from tutoring, so she is already familiar with driving, so there is no problem."

Xiao Wanqing felt a little relieved upon hearing this. She recalled Xia Zhijin's calm and calm appearance, thinking about it, she was not the kind of person who dared to mess around without being sure. She nodded, as she agreed, and as she walked out of the parking garage, she casually asked, "Zhijin is a tutor?" Work-study programs are common for college students, but work-study programs in a car are rare. .

Lin Xian faltered suddenly, not knowing how to answer Xiao Wanqing. Naturally, she didn't want to deceive and conceal Xiao Wanqing, but she was even more unwilling to reveal other people's privacy casually. Fortunately, as soon as they entered the parking lot, a white BMW flashed its lights at them, interrupting their conversation.

Shiman's delicate and charming face poked out from the car window, teasing them: "Are you lost?" Then, she took a meaningful look at Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing's still clasped hands.

Lin Xian caught her eyes keenly, and immediately let go of Xiao Wanqing's hand guiltily, pretending to fold her hands, bent slightly, and replied to her with a nonchalant smile: "It's a small mistake, I kept you waiting for a long time. "

Xia Zhijin, Chen Zhi and Tang Mo in the back seat also lowered the car windows one after another, poked their heads out, looked at Xiao Wanqing who was standing a few steps behind Lin Xian with a smile on her lips, and suddenly greeted in unison in a clear and obedient voice: "Xiao Wanqing Hello Auntie…”

Xiao Wanqing was taken aback by their sudden confrontation, and unconsciously took a small step towards Lin Xian before she reacted, tilted her head, bent her eyebrows and eyes and answered them softly: "Hi, you don't have to do this conservative."

Lin Xian stretched out her index finger and swayed gently left and right in front of their eyes, and said dissatisfied: "You guys scare me, Aunt Xiao." She pulled Xiao Wanqing to Xia Zhijin, and comforted her: "Aunt Xiao, please ignore them, we are with you Sister Zhijin, a decent person, just communicate."

Xiao Wanqing didn't take offense, she gave Chen Zhi and Tang Mo a wink, and then leaned over to chat with Xia Zhijin. She briefly told Xia Zhijin about the route and the road conditions to pay attention to, and then told them to pay attention to safety on the road before taking Lin Xian to drive to lead the way.

Shiman looked at Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing walking side by side with his chin in his hands, he seemed to think of something, and burst out laughing, overwhelmed with joy. Xia Zhijin put on her seat belt when she came close to help Shiman, and she laughed so hard that she couldn't understand why. Shi Man seemed to see Xia Zhijin's doubts, and leaned close to Xia Zhijin, leaned into Xia Zhijin's ear, and whispered to Xia Zhijin's ear: "Look, do we look like the younger brother of Lin Xian, who came to patrol the venue with his horse, The younger brothers greeted the big brother Ma Zi, "Hi sister-in-law"... "

Xia Zhijin frowned, was stunned for a moment, and then lightly annoyed Shiman: "What are you thinking?". She backed away, started the car, and followed Xiao Wanqing's car out of the garage without looking sideways.

Shi Man stared at Xia Zhijin with his eyes closed, with a faint smile on his lips.

You are, don't you really understand

Back home, Xiao Wanqing let Shiman and the others feel free as if they were in their own home, and told Lin Xian to greet her classmates well, without help, and went into the kitchen alone to get busy.

Lin Xian moved the coffee table in the living room to the side, spread out the blanket, and beckoned them to sit on it, and then took out the electric switch under the TV cabinet. Although Shi Man, Chen Zhi, and Tang Mo are girls and have little contact with this kind of toys, they all expressed their interest. A few people sat kneeling in front of the TV, connected to the TV with great interest, gearing up and eager to try.

Xia Zhijin was sitting on the sofa, looking calmly at the joyful children in front of her, with a bit of helpless pampering in her eyes. She squatted down, approached Shiman, and whispered to Shiman, "I'll go to the kitchen and help Auntie Xiao."

Hearing this, Shi Man looked away from the TV screen and volunteered, "Then I'll go with you."

A smile flashed across Xia Zhijin's cold eyes. She patted Shiman's shoulder, pressed Shiman's movement to stand up, and said as if coaxing a child: "It's fine if you don't help, obediently play with them."

Shi Man stared at Xia Zhijin's leaving figure, frowned, and was meditating, when Tang Mo suddenly stuffed a handle in his hand. Tang Mo told her: "Manman, it's your turn, kill Lin Xian's limelight, she is so proud..."

Lin Xian's displeased retort sounded immediately: "It's my birthday today, what's wrong with making me show off!"

Shiman retracted his gaze, tightened the grip on his hand, forget it...

She raised her lips, moved her body, and sat beside Lin Xian, responding to her partner's encouragement: "Then wait and see how I beat her down!"

In the kitchen, the range hood was rumbling, and Xiao Wanqing was wearing an apron, carefully slicing meat in front of the chopping board. In a pot not far away, there was boiling water that was constantly steaming upwards.

Xia Zhijin walked to the kitchen counter silently, turned on the faucet freely, helped Xiao Wanqing wash the vegetables, and said softly, "Aunt Xiao, let me help you."

Xiao Wanqing was so focused on cutting, it wasn't until Xia Zhijin uttered that she realized that there was another person beside her. She turned her head to see Xia Zhijin, and saw her hands that had been dipped in the vegetable bowl, she immediately declined embarrassedly and said: "No, you go out and play with them, I can do it by myself, and it will be fine soon. What There is a reason to ask customers to help."

Xia Zhijin ignored it, turned off the faucet, and skillfully washed the dishes with her hands, and leisurely reminded Xiao Wanqing: "I just saw that the soup in the pot is boiling, do you need to turn down the heat?"

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Xiao Wanqing was not out of politeness, but sincerely wanted to help her, so she sighed and did not refuse anymore. She troubled her: "Can you help me pour the noodles next to the pot into the pot?"

Xia Zhijin didn't doubt that he was there, she withdrew her hand from the dish pot, turned around and walked towards the pot, and then moved her hands neatly, stepped down, and then carefully moved the contents of the pot with the spatula After a while, she covered the pot and returned to the kitchen counter. Seeing the fried yams and pork ribs prepared on the stage, she asked Xiao Wanqing clearly: "Is Aunt Xiao going to make vinegar-braised pork ribs?"

Xiao Wanqing nodded, and wentssiping with her: "Does Zhijin often cook at home?" She saw Xia Zhijin's skillful posture, obviously like a kitchen expert.

A light and gentle smile appeared on Xia Zhijin's lips, and she responded softly: "Well, it's too picky to be full of mouths. She eats everything I make. In order to make her nutrition more balanced, I will take over her diet."

Xiao Wanqing was slightly surprised by such intentionality and dedication. She put the cut meat on a plate and praised Xia Zhijin: "Then you are such a good sister. Cooking is easy and troublesome. When I was your age Ah, I really have no interest in things in the kitchen, and I don't want to get involved in these meaty things at all. Thank you for your hard work... "

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhijin's subordinates kept washing the vegetables, and suddenly fell silent. Just when Xiao Wanqing thought that this topic should stop here, Xia Zhijin responded in a soft tone, as if without any emotion: "It's not hard. Her mother has helped my family a lot. I should repay them." of… "

The general indifference tone of staying out of the matter.

Her face was cold and quiet, her long eyelashes drooped, covering the brilliance in her eyes, Xiao Wanqing couldn't see her true emotions behind it. The light and shadow hit her tall and stern nose bridge, and the sculptural and delicate profile of her face, Xiao Wanqing was in a trance, as if she had caught something.

Isn't Xia Zhijin very similar to her...

But she remembered that day when she met Xia Zhijin for the first time in the supermarket, Shiman put her arms around Xia Zhijin's arm tightly, and when she looked up at Xia Zhijin, her tenderness seemed to be overflowing, and her heart sank slightly.

But he didn't know if it was for Xia Zhijin or Shiman.
