Under the dim and warm light, Xiao Wanqing's high-slung side face, mandibular angle line, and tight and slender swan neck seem to be frozen into a beautiful picture scroll. For a few seconds, Lin Xian stared blankly at Xiao Wanqing, his mind was at a loss, as if there was only a burning flame left, and a sentence that echoed repeatedly "Aunt Xiao, she also likes women! She I like women!"
Then, her sanity began to gradually return, and her thoughts began to diverge...
Yes, in this way, many things, it seems, can be explained...
She suddenly recalled the quarrel between Xiao Wanqing and the young woman who was obviously pregnant when she was eleven years old when she followed her mother to mourn.
After many years, Lin Xian could no longer remember the specific face of the woman, but she always remembered the painful and sad look on the woman's face very clearly. Because, when she was young at that time, she had never seen such a complicated and sad expression before.
The woman held Xiao Wanqing's slender wrist tightly with both hands, her eyes were as red as a rabbit, her nose was red, and she choked with tears and said to Xiao Wanqing: "I am sorry for you."
Xiao Wanqing, who should be the saddest person, seems to be much calmer than her. She was wearing a filial piety dress, her body was so thin that it could be blown away by a gust of wind, but her waist was straight. She stared quietly at the woman opposite, her pale face was filled with indifference. When the woman was sobbing and unable to speak, she stretched out her hand and slowly pulled the woman's hand off her wrist, and asked her calmly, "Have you finished?"
"You go, I don't want to see you." When she spoke, her face was calm and her voice was so calm and indifferent. As a result, Lin Xian thought that Xiao Wanqing should not care or even hate the other party.
But in the end, shortly after the woman had no choice but to turn around and leave, Xiao Wanqing seemed to lose her strength, and slowly squatted down weakly. She wrapped her arms around herself, buried her head in her knees, and cried depressingly and miserably.
Crying so hard, Lin Xian, who was hiding in the dark, also had a sore nose and tears streaming down his face...
For many years, Lin Xian occasionally recalled this incident, thinking that it was probably a story of two women and a heartless man. But at this moment, she suddenly realized...
It turns out that the story, from the beginning to the end, is only those two women...
She should have been ecstatic. If Aunt Xiao liked girls, then she, maybe she could have some expectations, right
However, she couldn't laugh anymore.
She just wanted to break through the fog of time, and return to the Xiao Wanqing who became an orphan overnight, to the Xiao Wanqing who needed the most support but had nowhere to rely, to the person who buried her head in mourning but could only wipe herself dry in the end. In front of Xiao Wanqing who pretended nothing happened with tears, hugged her.
She wants to hug her.
Why didn't she go out and reach out to hug her back then.
Heartache overwhelmed the initial ecstasy, Lin Xian stared at Xiao Wanqing's gentle smiling face as usual, his throat was choked up for a while, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his heart to say, but in the end, he could only whisper: "Aunt Xiao..."
Xiao Wanqing drank the wine in the glass, glanced at the stunned crowd, with soft eyebrows, smiled gently, stood up and said: "You guys continue to play, I will cook the last sweet soup for you to sober you up."
As the chair was pulled away, the legs of the chair were moved and the ground made a "knocking" sound, Tang Mo and Chen Zhicai suddenly woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream. The two of them shook their heads in unison and rubbed their cheeks.
Tang Mo exclaimed: "Did I learn something extraordinary!"
Lin Xian looked at Xiao Wanqing's leaving direction silently, bit her lip and said nothing.
Shi Man smiled like a successful little fox, resting his hands on his cheeks and staring at Lin Xian. Instead of answering Tang Mo's surprise, he asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to drink in this game?"
Chen Zhi and Tang Mo looked at each other, and immediately became excited: "What's the matter? Is there anything else to drink? Who is it? Who is it?" For a moment, they even began to doubt their orientation.
Except for the surprised expression that Xia Zhijin showed at the beginning when Shiman said the proposition and drank the glass of wine, Xia Zhijin's expression was always gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking. At this moment, she watched Chen Zhi and Tang Mo cast suspicious eyes on her, but she just looked back at them indifferently, staying out of the way: "Have you forgotten? I didn't participate in this game."
right!
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Lin Xian.
Lin Xian raised his eyes to look at Shiman, Shiman blinked innocently at her with an ambiguous expression on his face. Lin Xian sneered softly, filled a glass of wine casually, and said in a low voice, "It's me." Then, amidst everyone's exclamations, she drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Zhi and Tang Mo were already so adrenaline-fueled by the three consecutive openings of the closet doors, they were one on the left and the other on the right, one pulling Lin Xian while the other pulled Lin Xian, and asked repeatedly: "How well can you hide?" So deep! Then do you have someone dating now? Is there someone you like? Is it good-looking? Is it like the big-breasted lady in Lily's novel? Or a cute loli?"
Shi Man glanced at Xia Zhijin when Chen Zhi asked if there was anyone he liked. Xia Zhijin exchanged glances with her, then moved away as if nothing had happened. Shi Man's eyes darkened slightly, and he also turned away. She turned her head and smiled slyly in response to Chen Zhi, "Isn't this playing the truth?"
Chen Zhi and Tang Mo moaned and complained for a while, and finally let go of questioning them.
After the initial excitement period, Chen Zhi became a little more serious, hesitant to speak, and finally said politely: "Next time, next time, you should stop being so honest with others. Momo and I are more accepting, but , I'm afraid that others will... "
Lin Xian nodded, flicked the back of Chen Zhi's hand, and said with a smile, "Of course we know. It's because of you that we dare to rest assured and dare to be so frank."
Chen Zhi's heart warmed all of a sudden, and she was a little moved by Lin Xian's trust.
Tang Mo was still carefully recalling everything that happened just now, and couldn't help but recall Xiao Wanqing's calm demeanor and dusty side face when he picked up the cup leisurely without saying a word, and drank it down in one gulp, and suddenly said with emotion: "Aunt Xiao is crooked. I think if it's a woman like Aunt Xiao, I'd be willing to be crooked for her."
Shiman burst out laughing with a "puchi". Lin Xian immediately raised his eyebrows, and said bluntly, "Go away, what's the matter with you."
Tang Mo dissatisfied and retorted: "It's nothing to do with me. Speaking of which, I haven't liked boys before, maybe I really like girls too."
Lin Xian hit her: "Then Aunt Xiao has nothing to do with you, you can find someone to bend over for her."
Shiman casually opened a can of beer, stopped pouring it into the cup, took a sip from the can, and said meaningfully: "Yeah, Momo, don't even think about it, even if there is something, it's the one who gets it first. Moon."
Tang Mo said angrily, "What do you mean!"
Chen Zhi made up the knife: "I think they probably mean that they can't see you..." She rolled her eyes and changed the subject: "Let's continue playing the game." She still wants, no matter how much Dig a little aniseed! Today is really exciting. She didn't believe it, she didn't have a chance to ask Shi Man and Lin Xian if they liked someone now.
I don't know how long they played, until Lin Xian realized that Xiao Wanqing seemed to have been in the kitchen for a long time, and when he wanted to finish this round of games, he went to the kitchen to find Xiao Wanqing, the light in the dining room suddenly went out.
"Ah..." Tang Mo was timid, unprepared, and exclaimed in reflex.
"Don't be afraid, it may have tripped." Lin Xian hurriedly comforted her. She quickly pushed away the chair, stood up, and was about to go out to ask Xiao Wanqing about the situation.
However, just as she stood up and turned around, she saw, at the entrance of the dining room, densely packed small candle lights flickering. Under the firelight, Xiao Wanqing's soft and beautiful face was gradually revealed, gentle and charming...
"Happy birthday you, happy birthday you..." The voice that Lin Xian once heard through the speaker of her mobile phone in a foreign country, the voice that made her fascinated, now rang in her ears truly.
It was Xiao Wanqing, holding a big chocolate cake full of candles in both hands, singing softly, walking towards her step by step with a smile...
Shi Man, Xia Zhijin, Chen Zhi and Tang Mo reacted quickly, clapped their hands lightly, echoed Xiao Wanqing's singing, and sang together: "happy birthday you, happy birthday you..."
"Xianxian, happy birthday." Xiao Wanqing finally walked up to Lin Xian and stood still in front of her.
Lin Xian raised his head to look for Xiao Wanqing's eyes, looked at her gentle and watery eyes, looked at the faint little self in her eyes...
She thought, if possible, she would like to stay here for a long time...
"Aunt Xiao..." She was already so happy that she didn't know how to express her turbulent affection other than calling Xiao Wanqing loudly.
"Make a wish and blow out the candles." Xiao Wanqing said softly.
Lin Xian stared fixedly at the charming woman in front of her. After a long while, she lowered her long eyelashes, closed her eyes, folded her hands together, and sincerely made her eighteen-year-old adult wish word by word in her heart.
"I hope to be with you."
She opened her eyes and blew out the flickering candle. The dining room was suddenly plunged into darkness again. But this time, no one panicked, no one was afraid.
The darkness blurred everything, and also concealed the burning passion in Lin Xian's eyes. With a low and soft voice, she asked Xiao Wanqing: "Aunt Xiao, tell me, will my wish come true?"
Xiao Wanqing's clear and pleasant voice answered her with a hidden smile: "The answer is in the gift I gave you."
Chen Zhi, a clever person with good deeds, heard the words and ran out in the dark to help Lin Xian bring in the gift that Xiao Wanqing gave after the lecture that was placed on the coffee table in the living room.
During a pause, Xiao Wanqing stepped forward to put the cake on the dining table, then she walked aside, fumbled a little, and lightly pressed a certain switch with her fingers. In an instant, it was like the dark night suddenly pushed aside the dark clouds and ushered in the stars, and the room and walls were full of brilliance, shining like fire, shining like a river of stars...
It's a star projection lamp...
Under the starry sky, under the surprise voices of Chen Zhi and Tang Mo, Xiao Wanqing looked at her with gentle eyebrows and said with a smile, "Open it and have a look."
Lin Xian's heart trembled involuntarily.
She tore off the exquisite outer packaging of the gift, and read the six characters "Life, as you wish" bit by bit. She likes Yu Yao, the writer who complained about not grabbing lecture tickets, the most classic. A brand new commemorative book that is no longer available for purchase.
She opened the cover, only to see that on the title page was written by Yu Yao, who claimed to never sign and sell signatures:
Lin Xian, happy birthday.
Everything will be as you wish.
Yu Yao.
She raised her eyes and saw that Xiao Wanqing's smiling eyes were brighter than starlight...
The author has something to say: Lin Xian: Hey, you promised me! Can't deny it.
Hahaha, the game can be played like this, but not everyone is full of courage sometimes, kicking the cabinet door first, and then kicking the cabinet door of others.
Shiman's strategy is that nothing can be broken and nothing can be built.
