After entering March, with the watering of spring rain one after another, all things began to bid farewell to the bleakness of winter and ushered in the vitality of colorful flowers. Xiao Wanqing's work, as if with the gentle blowing of the east wind, wiped away the short-term restlessness that had been there before, and gradually returned to the normal track. The life of going out early and returning late, and working overtime after dinner, finally slowly and completely withdrew from the lives of Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian.
Lin Xian is naturally happy to see the results. After she found that Xiao Wanqing started to slow down her dinner speed, and gradually resumed the habit of watching TV with her after dinner, she carefully and timely made a request that it was not convenient for her to share the study with her. This time, Xiao Wanqing did not hesitate much , readily nodded in agreement.
Lin Xian was so happy that he almost jumped up and ran around twice.
It's a pity that Xiao Wanqing slowed down the pace of life and had time to spend time with Lin Xian. Within a few days, Lin Xian became busy instead.
Learning to drive and having a part-time job were two things that Lin Xian did not have on a whim, so after the Lantern Festival, she immediately put them on her schedule.
As for the part-time job, she wanted to save some private money, so naturally she didn't tell Zhou Qin; because she thought of giving Xiao Wanqing a surprise, she also decided to keep it a secret from Xiao Wanqing for the time being.
As for learning how to drive, she needed help from her generous mother, so she obediently called Zhou Qin to discuss it.
Zhou Qin considered that Lin Xian would need to get his driver's license sooner or later. It may be quite troublesome to take the test when you go abroad, work, or get busy in the future. It is better to take the test now that you have time, and you did not hesitate to express your support.
She gave Lin Xian an opinion, suggesting that she should apply for a driving school near the school. One is that it is convenient to use her leisure time between classes; the other is that the driving school near the school has a lot of students who learn to drive, so the interpersonal relationship in the driving school will naturally be simpler.
If it was a driving school outside, she worried that Lin Xian would not be able to cope with some unspoken rules in society. She still has some literati loftiness in her bones, and she is not willing to instigate Lin Xian to accept the dark side of society for the time being, and she is not willing to let her learn to hand cigarettes and red envelopes to the coach and treat guests to dinner.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xian also decided that it would be better to apply to a driving school near the school. Her thinking is different from Zhou Qin's. What she thought of was that if she wanted to work part-time, if it was a part-time job on weekends, if she kept it a secret from Aunt Xiao for the time being, she might need an excuse to go out and learn how to drive. In this case, it is safer to stay far away.
So, she finally applied to a driving school not far from the school, and the training ground was only five minutes away from the school.
Before the festival, she mentioned to Shiman that she wanted to work part-time, and Shiman said he would help her pay attention, but he really took it to heart. Taking advantage of the weekend, she and Xia Zhijin helped her sort out a part-time job selection list with super high efficiency, and handed it to Lin Xian during the break on Monday.
The watch is Xia Zhijin's last integration, which perfectly reflects Xia Zhijin's consistent rigorous style of work. According to her personal comprehensive consideration of the recommendation level, they are arranged in order from high to low according to the score. Ranked first was Xia Zhijin's recommendation for a junior high school mathematics and English tutoring job. 50 per hour, twice a week, two hours at a time. The location is in the opposite direction from Xiao Wanqing's house.
When handing the watch to Lin Xian, Shiman helped Xia Zhijin bring a sentence to Lin Xian: "Zhijin said that she would recommend your first job because it takes less time and won't be too tiring. Besides, , the working environment is relatively simple, just downstairs where she works as a tutor, she has met her employer, and she seems to be very friendly." She paused, and continued euphemistically: "Zhijin said that sometimes, when encountering unsuitable People who are so nice are also quite... troublesome." Although the probability is relatively rare, Xia Zhijin has indeed seen some parents who are careless. Shi Man knew that Xia Zhijin was worried about Lin Xian, but he didn't dare to say it too clearly for fear of scaring Lin Xian.
"If you happen to be downstairs where she works part-time, she can adjust her time to a time slot with you, drop you off on the way, and wait for you to come back together at the end of the night. This is safer."
In fact, Lin Xian has never really entered the society or been in contact with the outside world at all, and he was not even prepared for it at all. It was the first time she wanted to work part-time, and she was somewhat apprehensive. Hearing that Xia Zhijin had considered so much for her so thoughtfully, she was immediately moved and said that she must invite Xia Zhijin to dinner at noon.
Shiman's peachy eyes widened, raised her eyebrows and ruthlessly refused: "No, don't disturb our time together." She gritted her teeth, groaning and complaining: "If I didn't know that you didn't like Zhijin, I wouldn't. Don't worry you get along with her like this day and night." She joked, "Speaking of which, Zhijin is also very concerned about you, um, shouldn't I be more concerned, Lin Xiaoxian, a potential rival in love?"
Lin Xian laughed out loud, and teased her nonchalantly: "Manman, you are really the jealous king of Southeast Asia."
Her thoughts turned quickly, and she refuted Shi Man in a clever way: "Sister Zhijin is not caring for me, but for you, okay, because I am your friend, she loves my house and black, so she is so enthusiastic to help me. "She chuckled, pretending to be contemptuous: "Why are you so low in EQ! You can't even understand this."
People like to listen well. Shi Man was laughed at by her, but he wasn't angry at all, instead he felt a little sweet in his heart. She teased Lin Xian with a chuckle: "Yes, yes, you know a lot, you have a high EQ, and you are a giant in theory." It meant a lot, obviously mocking Lin Xian's dwarf in action.
What Shi Man didn't know was that Lin Xian was very satisfied with the state of himself and Xiao Wanqing recently.
I don't know if Aunt Xiao is trying to make up for the neglect and neglect of her during the previous period. Recently, Aunt Xiao has been super nice and gentle to her, almost responsive to her requests. Before going to bed the day before yesterday, she joked to Aunt Xiao that the baby needs to listen to a bedtime story. Aunt Xiao actually sat down beside her bed seriously and patted her quilt, just like coaxing a child, telling her gently She told a fairy tale, which made her sweet and shy, and she was so excited that she fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Therefore, when Lin Xian heard the ridicule, he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he raised his eyebrows inscrutablely, but smiled without saying a word.
After thinking about it all night, Lin Xian thought it over and over again, and decided to follow Xia Zhijin's recommendation and choose that family's part-time tutor. It's just that she said that Xia Zhijin didn't need to pick her up on purpose. If it's convenient, you just need to go with her when you go, and drop her off at the school gate when you come back. At that time, she took the small electric battery home by herself, so she didn't need to trouble Xia Zhijin to take her home on purpose.
Seeing that Xia Zhijin couldn't hold her back, she didn't force her, and did as she wanted.
Thus, Lin Xian began his tutoring life every Wednesday and Thursday night from 7:00 to 9:00. In addition to her Monday and Tuesday night student union and debate team meetings, Lin Xian only had time to spend with Xiao Wanqing on Friday and weekend nights throughout the week.
Regarding the sudden need to stay in school for two extra days, Lin Xian explained to Xiao Wanqing that it was a public elective course for the next semester. Xiao Wanqing didn't think too much, she believed Lin Xian's words without thinking, and said that if Lin Xian was willing to come back for dinner, she could send Lin Xian to class after the meal. Lin Xian cried inwardly and reluctantly refused.
She didn't notice that when Xiao Wanqing was rejected, there was a flash of disappointment in her eyes.
In fact, Lin Xian is very reluctant to part with this rare and lost evening time. But thinking about Xiao Wanqing's birthday, and thinking that she was going to become an adult capable of making money on her own, she still bent her waist for money, gritted her teeth and gave up.
She comforted herself that she could come back as soon as possible. If Aunt Xiao hadn't slept when she came back, she could still get along with Aunt Xiao for a while longer.
She has to grow up quickly, to the point where Aunt Xiao can treat her as an equal.
Lin Xian asked the counselor for leave in the name of taking the driver's license test, but the counselor did not approve the leave. So, on Thursday morning, two weeks after signing up for the driving school, Lin Xian skipped class for the first time since he was a child, and went to the examination room to take the subject one test.
Before the exam, when Lin Xian was brushing the questions, he remembered all the traffic signs a little confused, and because he skipped class, he felt extremely uneasy. Seeing Xiao Wanqing's uneasy appearance made her feel worried and distressed. She helped her remember and said softly Soothe and encourage it. ,
Fortunately, after entering the examination room, everything went smoothly, and in the end, he handed in a full-score answer sheet.
As soon as she came out of the examination room, she couldn't help but happily took out her schoolbag, and took out her mobile phone to announce the good news to Xiao Wanqing: "Aunt Xiao! I've finished the exam! 100 points!"
At that time, Xiao Wanqing had just closed the document, and was staring blankly at the time at the bottom right of the computer screen, thinking, Lin Xian's exam should be over, right? do not know how.
As if she had a tacit understanding, as soon as her thought flashed, the phone on the desk vibrated. A text message from Lin Xian announcing the good news came in, accompanied by Lin Xian's bright face that appeared in her mind.
When Xiao Wanqing saw the content of the text message, her slightly frowning eyebrows immediately relaxed.
A touching smile bloomed on her lips, and she responded softly to Lin Xian in her heart. The movements of her fingertips, accompanied by the gentle silent voice in her heart, couldn't help but soften and slow down: "Xianxian is awesome! Auntie has always I believe that you must be fine. Did you go to eat after the exam? Are you going to go back to school now?"
Lin Xian quickly replied to her: "I'm going back to school for dinner. It's a pity that I can't hug Aunt Xiao. Now I want to hug Aunt Xiao for a few laps when I'm happy. Can I hug you at night?"
Xiao Wanqing looked at the text message and laughed dumbfounded. What a strange way to express happiness, she, she is her elder! Hugs are fine, how many more laps? But her eyes were so gentle that it seemed like water was about to gush out.
She imagined Lin Xian's charming tone and cute expression when she said this, and even couldn't help imagining the scene of Lin Xian really happily hugging her for a few times. In my heart, I couldn't help but feel soft and sour.
Just imagining it is too moving, and also, too tortured.
She suppressed the sourness in her heart, and was seriously thinking about how to refuse to get rid of Lin Xian's thoughts expressed in the last text message, and Lin Xian's next text message came in again. This time, it was just a few concise words: "The bus is here, so I won't call you back."
Lin Xian didn't care what she said in the last text message at all.
The movements of Xiao Wanqing's hands stopped immediately, and the next second, her eyes slowly dimmed. She stared blankly at the screen as it darkened a little, and after a long time, it was completely dark.
There is no intention to draft the wind, but to attract mountain torrents.
Xiao Wanqing bit her lower lip lightly, the smile on her gentle face gradually turned bitter. She scolded herself from the bottom of her heart, yes, the girl was just an ordinary joke, how could she be so easy to take it seriously
It's a pity that she didn't realize it for the first time until she was 30 years old.
It turns out that secret love is like this, a one-man show where the mood fluctuates greatly with the other's unintentional every move, it is easy to be sentimental, and it is embarrassing and bitter when it is close.
She rubbed the center of her brows, took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, unlocked the screen, and replied to Lin Xian gently as usual: "Okay, then be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, and remember to eat."
But she looked at the screen that hadn't responded for a long time, and her mood was inexplicably depressed after all.
During the lunch break, Xiao Wanqing refused the invitation of her colleagues to eat together because of her lack of appetite, and continued to work in the office with a sullen head.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.
"Hi, your takeaway has arrived." A muffled young female voice sounded outside the door.
Xiao Wanqing raised her head from the document and was taken aback for a moment. Is it... Which colleague, or did the assistant order it for her when she saw that she didn't go out to eat
She stood up suspiciously, walked to the door, and opened the door with a frown.
In the next second, she was taken aback, and her picturesque eyebrows were stretched out involuntarily. His eyes were full of surprise and joy.
Outside the door, there is no delivery girl, but there is only a youthful and bright smiling face.
Lin Xian, carrying a schoolbag and holding a bag of hot food in one hand, was looking at the gentle and beautiful woman inside the door with crooked eyes.
Xiao Wanqing was a little dazed because she was too surprised and surprised. She bent her lips subconsciously, and asked her in a trembling voice with tenderness in her brows: "Xianxian, you... why are you here?"
The girl stared at her without blinking, gently opened the door with one free hand, walked into Xiao Wanqing's office calmly, closed the door and leaned against her.
She tilted her head, looked at Xiao Wanqing tenderly with watery eyes, showing a mouthful of cute white teeth, and slowly approached Xiao Wanqing, in Xiao Wanqing's doubts, stretched out her slender and powerful arms, tightly encircling Xiao Wanqing's slender waist , pressed against her ear, and answered her as a matter of course.
"Let me hug my Aunt Xiao for a few laps."
