In the bathroom, the water vapor was dense, and the figure of a graceful woman with a slender waist and long legs was looming in the mist. Xiao Wanqing stood naked under the shower, letting the warm water spray down from her head. After a while, she reached out to turn off the water, brushed back the wet hair on her forehead, revealing a rosy and gentle face. She took the facial cleanser from the table beside her, pressed it in the palm of her hand, and gently rubbed it to create foam, and then applied it to her face bit by bit.

The slender five fingers slowly followed the contours of the face, rubbing upwards from the corners of the lips to the ears, the path was so familiar that Xiao Wanqing suddenly froze as if thinking of something, the index finger stayed there for a long time Above the small earlobe, there was no more movement.

second time...

Lin Xian did this for the second time, brushing her cheek lightly.

Compared to the first time when she flinched, this time, it was more like an inertial error caused by Lin Xian's overly eager and hasty footsteps.

However, I don't know if it was her illusion. For a moment, she felt in a trance that when the girl was running towards her, her eyes were burning brighter than the incandescent lamp that suddenly turned on. When she was close at hand, her eyes seemed to be glued to the bottom of her nose for a second, as if After finding the right position, the thin lips fell precisely.

Everything seemed slower, softer, and more... palpitating than the first time.

Xiao Wanqing unconsciously gathered her five fingers placed next to her ears.

Yes, accidentally, right

It must be.

When she raised her eyes, the expression she spoke to herself was so frank and sincere. The next second she let go of herself, when Zhou Qin appeared, she was also so composed and calm.

That's it. Her mother could show up at any moment. How could she, how could it be, and how dare she have other thoughts.

Xiao Wanqing felt that she must be dazed.

Obviously Lin Xian was just careless and inadvertent, obviously Lin Xian was so pure and enthusiastic, why would he speculate about her with scary and strange thoughts for no reason.

Obviously, nothing happened.

Obviously, everything is normal.

Why should she care so much.

Compared to a girl who has a pure mind and doesn't feel anything, she is even more strange and inexplicable, right

Xiao Wanqing asked herself in her heart: why, the moment Lin Xian let go of her, she felt palpitations and flustered, and why, the moment Zhou Qin appeared, she felt so guilty and flustered. Why when the girl's thin lips touched the corners of her lips, why when the girl's breath spilled into her ears, she suddenly froze, her mind was at a loss for a moment, and then her heart beat rapidly, her legs became weak, and even, Some are unsteady.

She bit her red lips lightly, her wet eyes were full of bewilderment. Her heart was in a mess, not without clues, not without answers, but a terrible thought was about to burst out. But subconsciously, she didn't dare to think deeply, didn't dare to delve into it, and even didn't dare to take one more step in her thoughts.

She deluded herself and closed her eyes in a panic, turned the faucet to the right, and turned on the cold water suddenly, trying to interrupt her scorching hot thoughts with the cold water flow. The coolness poured down from the top of her head in an instant, making her shiver from the cold.

Thoughts, but never cooled down as she wished.

Her lips are so hot...

Xiao Wanqing thought in despair while trembling.

At noon on New Year's Eve, Lin Xian's home in the North District of Anjiang City was extremely lively in a year.

On the TV, festive music is playing. Lin Zhan was squatting at the door preparing to paste Spring Festival couplets. Lin Xian's grandfather and maternal grandfather were playing chess leisurely in the living room. In the kitchen, Zhou Qin was frying fish, shrimp and oyster cakes in front of the gas stove. Lin Xian was assigned by Zhou Qin to his grandmother and mother. Grandma, accompanied them to make dumplings at the side table.

The two old men moved skillfully and were full of interest. While chatting about the daily routine, one dumpling came out of the oven after another. Lin Xian, who was on the side, stared at the dumplings, silent, with a dazed expression, and his hands were motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Qin turned her head inadvertently, and saw Lin Xian was letting go, and couldn't help reminding her: "Xianxian..."

Lin Xian heard the sound, afraid of being nagged by Zhou Qin, subconsciously stretched out his hand to scoop up a spoonful of stuffing and poured it on the dumpling wrapper.

Zhou Qin couldn't help laughing, and said in a bad mood: "You have so much stuffing in your hand, if you still put it, can the dumpling skin be closed?"

When the grandmother saw the dazed look of her granddaughter, her heart softened all of a sudden. She had seen Lin Xian's distraction early on, and thought that Lin Xian was not interested in making dumplings and was unhappy being forced to be detained here by Zhou Qin, so she kindly said to Zhou Qin: "Why are you so fierce. Tell Xianxian to go out and see Old men, let's play chess, her grandma and I can make dumplings, and it will be ready soon."

The grandmother also kindly said: "Xianxian, let's go out to play. There is a lot of oily smoke here. After a while, your mother fried shrimp and fish. Grandma will ask you to come in and eat."

Zhou Qin had no choice but to say, "Mom, don't spoil her."

The old man didn't know if they were intergenerational relatives. Obviously when she and Lin Zhan were young, the old people were very strict as parents. When it came time to become grandparents, they seemed to be different people all of a sudden. Four old people circled around a child, and there was no limit to pet Lin Xian Chong. Fortunately, she and Lin Zhan saw the clues early on, and dared not hand over Lin Xian completely to the old man. When I went abroad to study before, I would rather let Lin Xian take a year off from school to follow them, but I dare not leave Lin Xian with the old man at home, otherwise Lin Xian is afraid that he will be lawless now.

Lin Xian came back to his senses, a little embarrassed. She smiled obediently at her grandma and grandma, and explained: "I don't want it anymore, I will make dumplings with you here. Xianxian is busy with school, so I don't have much time to accompany you in a year." She glanced at Zhou Qin, rolled her eyes, paused, changed her tone to a lower tone, and said worriedly: "I just suddenly thought of Aunt Xiao Wanqing Xiao. I don't know, she is celebrating the New Year at home alone , Did you make dumplings, did you seriously prepare a sumptuous dinner?"

She narrowed her eyes, her tone became slower, and she said with guilt: "I have been under the care of Aunt Xiao for more than half a year. No matter how busy I am at work, she must have prepared dinner for me when I go back from school. But every The next festive night, I ran away by myself, leaving her alone. I felt a little sad when I thought that she might have dealt with it hastily by herself." Although she had a purpose in her words, Foreshadowing, but it is also true feelings, so the tone is low and guilty, which makes the listener feel sympathetic.

Xiao Wanqing can be regarded as the two old people who grew up watching them grow up. When Xiao Wanqing's parents were alive, the several families often came and went, and their friendship was extraordinary. After Xiao Wanqing's parents passed away, Xiao Wanqing never returned to the North District. They hadn't seen her for many years. Thinking back to the time when the Xiao and Zhou families lived close together, it was not uncommon for them to be lively and lively during the New Years and festivals. At that time, Xiao Wanqing surrounded them like Lin Xian, how well-behaved and sensible; think again, these years After her parents left, she was alone and lonely, how sad she must be. For a while, the old man was also full of pity.

Seeing that the two old people were touched, Lin Xian immediately struck while the iron was hot, and asked tentatively: "Grandma, grandma. I want to send some dumplings to Aunt Xiao, and cook dinner with her by the way. I'll be back in the evening, okay?" She knew that Zhou Qin and Xiao Wanqing were good friends, and she would not disagree in her heart, so she was worried that Zhou Qin would not agree because of the presence of a few old people, and was afraid that the old people would be unhappy.

Fortunately, the two old men heard this after sighing, and they understood very well. Grandma even touched her little head and praised her: "We Xianxian are people who know how to be grateful, so we have a heart."

Grandma turned her head to help her and asked Zhou Qin: "Qinqin, let Xianxian go for a while. Xiao Wan has not been easy these years, and Xianxian is even more grateful to her for taking care of her."

Zhou Qin glanced at Lin Xian and smiled helplessly, this little clever ghost. She politely agreed: "Mom, okay. Then I'll fry some more fish, shrimp and sea oyster cakes, and let Xianxian take them with me."

Lin Xian happily kissed the faces of the two old people, and ran out of the kitchen happily, "Then I'll go change my clothes."

Zhou Qin raised her voice and asked her, "Do you want to take you there with your father?"

Lin Xian answered her without turning her head: "No need, you and Dad can get busy, I'll just take the bus by myself."

After Lin Xian changed his clothes, he carried his back, not afraid of getting greasy, so he stuffed all his things into his schoolbag in a plastic bag. Then, he waved to them and couldn't wait to leave.

Zhou Qin chased him out and wanted to tell Lin Xian another word secretly, only to find that Lin Xian was stopped by Lin Zhan who had Spring Festival couplets pasted at the door.

Lin Zhan looked at the thing in his daughter's hand, his gentle face was full of inexplicable: "Where are you going with it?"

Lin Xian giggled, and said softly, "I went to deliver dumplings to Aunt Xiao, and I brought them along when I remembered. Before, I had other luggage every time, and it was difficult to take them down. Today, I happened to be relatively empty, so I took them with me. It's over."

Zhou Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked Lin Xian suspiciously: "Are you just holding onto the bus like this? If you want it, I'll drive you there when school starts next time and you can take it with you."

Lin Xian said stubbornly: "No need, I'll just take it by myself today. When school starts, we have big and small bags in our hands. It's not easy to carry them. It's okay, Mom, I'm leaving."

Zhou Qin had nothing to do with her, so he tapped her forehead with his fingers, and said to her, "You." She moved closer to Lin Xian, lowered her voice and told Lin Xian, "Come back early, I'll wait for you for dinner , don't let grandpa, grandpa and the others wait for you alone, it's impolite, you know?"

Lin Xian was in a hurry to leave, acting as if I knew it, and said perfunctorily: "Enen, okay, Mom. Then I'm leaving."

Zhou Qin sighed, this child, who is she doing this for, doesn't know what is good or bad at all.

"Go, be careful on the road."

I thought it was thirty and everyone had gone home, the official car should be empty and deserted. Unexpectedly, beyond Lin Xian's expectation, there were more people on the bus than usual, and many people were dragging their luggage and bags. Lin Xian got into the car and found a relatively safe place to stay with great difficulty. From then on, she took root there. No matter how many people crowded her up and down, she remained motionless until she arrived at Xiao Wanqing's house. one stop.

In the car, every time someone got to her side at the station, they would unconsciously look at her. There was even a child who sat down on the seat next to her and couldn't help poking Lin Xian: "May I touch it?" ?”.

The parents around him immediately stopped the child, but because Lin Xian was in a good mood, he replied with a bright smile and said: "It's okay." After speaking, he took the initiative to hold the child's hand.

After finally arriving at the station and getting out of the car, Lin Xian was so squeezed that his back ached. But when she stepped into the community and looked up at the windows of the first floor of the house where Xiao Wanqing lived, she immediately felt exhausted, and felt that her whole heart was about to fly.

In the past few days, she sent text messages to Aunt Xiao, and Aunt Xiao's reply was very concise.

Aunt Xiao didn't know how much she looked forward to every time she waited for her text message, and she could turn over and read it several times in just a few words.

Aunt Xiao would not know, but she hadn't seen her for a few days, and thinking about her would break her heart.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian suddenly couldn't help but want to cover his face, and couldn't help but spit at himself.

Ah, Lin Xiaoxian, why are you so pretentious!

However, she couldn't help but a sweet smirk appeared on her face.

With this joyful mood of embarrassment and joy, she stepped into the door of the building, entered the elevator, and went straight up.

Entering the floor where Xiao Wanqing's house is located, Lin Xian looked around and saw that the Spring Festival couplets at the door of the other two houses had been completely renewed, and one house was half pasted up, and the couple stood at the door and gestured for height. Only at the gate of Xiao Wanqing's house, the Spring Festival couplets are still the same as she left, dark and gloomy.

Lin Xian bit her lip, feeling sore in her heart.

After thinking about it, she cheered up and comforted herself, it was just right, she could help Aunt Xiao.

At this time, based on what she observed about Xiao Wanqing's schedule on weekends, she guessed that Xiao Wanqing should still be on her lunch break.

As she expected, when she carefully opened the anti-theft door, closed it gently, changed her shoes, and entered the living room, she saw that the living room was empty and quiet.

Lin Xian thought for a while, and a sly smile flashed in his eyes. She took off the slippers she had just put on, and quickly moved towards her bedroom like a thief.

When passing by, she caught a glimpse that the door of the study was open, but there was no one inside; Aunt Xiao's door was half closed, and there was no sound.

Sure enough, he was still fast asleep.

Xiao Wanqing looked at the materials all morning, and unknowingly it was time for lunch, so she casually opened a pack of mustard, and ate lunch hastily with the leftover white porridge in the morning.

After lunch, she sorted out her work in the study as usual, and returned to the bedroom for a lunch break an hour later.

Perhaps it was because she suffered from frequent insomnia due to her disturbed emotions these past few days, and finally reached the limit of her body.

This afternoon nap, after she fell asleep, she was so peaceful that it was rare in the past few days.

I don't know how long it has passed, between half asleep and half awake, she seemed to vaguely hear the sound of opening and closing the door outside, but it was only for a moment. She wanted to listen carefully in a daze, but everything was silent again. She answered herself vaguely, maybe she was dreaming.

She closed her eyes, and when she was about to lose consciousness again and fell asleep, the sound of the door being pushed was heard again. This time, clearly audible...

Xiao Wanqing struggled to open her water eyes in a bewilderment, and saw a tall and tall figure appearing at the door of her room like a dream, accompanied by the narrow light passing through the crack of the door.

It was a picture, day and night, she thought about it but didn't dare to think about it, didn't dare to think about it but couldn't help thinking about it, the familiar face that tortured her so much that she couldn't sleep at night...

The girl stared at her with a smile brighter than a burning peach blossom on her face.

Her dark and clear eyes seemed to be brighter than the stars in the sky.

Xiao Wanqing was thinking in a trance.

Is she finally, domineeringly, about to take over her dreams
