Since the company's dispatch notice has not been officially conveyed, Xiao Wanqing was worried that there would be changes, so she asked Zhou Qin not to tell Lin Xian first, and then tell Lin Xian after she was sure about herself.
On Saturday, they went out for a spring outing organized by Lin Xian's debate team, and they would not come back until evening. Xiao Wanqing notified Xiao Ke's aunt, Aunt Liu, to come to her house for a talk.
Aunt Liu is about fifty years old, dressed plainly, not tall, with short shoulder-length hair cut neatly, combed meticulously. Just looking at his face, he looks very kind and loyal.
After stepping into Xiao Wanqing's house, Aunt Liu sat down on the sofa in Xiao Wanqing's living room with some restraint under Xiao Wanqing's greeting.
Xiao Wanqing politely went to the water dispenser to receive water to entertain her, turned sideways and saw her sitting on the sofa, and took out a notebook, a ballpoint pen, and a copy of her ID card from a clean canvas bag. After that, she sat very quietly, her eyes were very regular, and she did not look around presumptuously.
Xiao Wanqing attaches great importance to people's eyesight, and she is a relative of her trusted assistant Xiao Ke. Almost immediately, she has already given this Aunt Liu a perfect score of 60 points.
During the conversation, Aunt Liu didn't talk much, but she was very kind. She memorized what Xiao Wanqing said very carefully, and occasionally wrote a few words in her notebook.
"Xianxian is a bit picky eater. She doesn't like onions, garlic, leeks, coriander, eggplant, wild rice stems, pumpkins, flower clams, and sea oysters. Auntie, you can cook them occasionally to make her eat a balanced diet, but you can't cook them often. Although Xianxian won't say that she doesn't like to eat, but she will not stick a chopstick in it, and even the appetite will be reduced by more than half." Lin Xian hardly takes the initiative to say what she doesn't like to eat, and occasionally goes shopping together, Ask her what she wants to eat, and she will lie to her obediently and lovably, "I like everything you cook, Aunt Xiao". But after getting along for more than half a year, Xiao Wanqing gradually figured out Lin Xian's real food preferences. Which dish did Lin Xian eat more today, and which dish did Lin Xian eat less tomorrow, Xiao Wanqing secretly remembered it in her heart.
Aunt Liu nodded, took a pen and took notes seriously.
Seeing that she had memorized it, Xiao Wanqing continued: "Xianxian's favorite dishes include fried pork slices with yam, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, curry potatoes, sweet and sour short ribs, fried tofu with green peppers, boiled pork slices..." She suddenly remembered a This is an important matter, and I seriously reminded: "By the way, Auntie, if you are stewing chicken soup and duck soup, remember not to put the head and feet in the bowl, Xianxian will be scared when she sees it." She thought of Lin Xian One time when I was helping to serve soup, when I scooped out a chicken head from the pressure cooker, I was trembling and panicked, and there was a smile on my lips.
In turn, her smile gradually turned into a touch of loneliness. It turned out that before she knew it, she and Lin Xian already had so many good memories...
It was the first time Aunt Liu heard that someone was afraid of this, and she couldn't help laughing out loud. Is a living person actually afraid of dead chickens and ducks? The meat can be eaten, but the head and feet cannot be seen? Ha ha ha ha.
But she took it down very patiently and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Wanqing frowned and rummaged through her memory earnestly. She chatted with Aunt Liu for half an hour, and even told Lin Xian about the brands of snacks and drinks that Lin Xian liked to eat. She also asked Aunt Liu to help supervise Lin Xian's work and rest, don't let Lin Xian go to bed too late, don't get up too late, of course, don't let her get up too early. Lin Xian is a light sleeper. In the morning, I hope that Aunt Liu will move more lightly so as not to wake Lin Xian up. As she said that, she was worried, and specially handed over the printed Lin Xian class schedule to Aunt Liu, hoping that Aunt Liu could estimate the time of cooking according to the above time, so that Lin Xian could eat in time as much as possible. It can also be hot rice just out of the pan.
At the end, Xiao Wanqing saw that Aunt Liu's notebook was full of dense words, so she apologized a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Auntie, did I talk too much?" She lowered her snow-white neck and said in a low voice "I... I'm just a little worried about her, afraid of her... afraid that she will be uncomfortable." She obviously forgot that when Lin Xian was at home, Zhou Qin never paid so much attention to Lin Xian's preferences, and even more so. Lin Xian has never been so pampered and accommodated.
She couldn't do her best and do it herself, but she couldn't help but want to give Lin Xian the best.
Although Aunt Liu remembered it was a bit difficult, she saw that Xiao Wanqing was beautiful, with a nice voice, gentle and gentle, and he didn't seem to be trying to make things difficult for her, so she said politely: "It's nothing. Miss Xiao, please advance Tell me this, and save me a lot of trouble."
She smiled, listening to Xiao Wanqing's love and love for Lin Xian between the lines, I am afraid that her own mother is nothing more than that, she couldn't help but sighed: "Miss Xiao, you and your niece must have a very good relationship. You are so lucky to take care of her aunt."
lucky? Xiao Wanqing was taken aback for a moment. She thought of Lin Xian's innocent and bright smile when Zhou Qin handed Lin Xian into her hands when they first met, and thought of Lin Xian's melancholy and depression that should not be at her age when she accidentally showed herself to her. The color gradually dimmed.
Perhaps, it is not a blessing, but a catastrophe.
If Lin Xian hadn't met her, without her as an aunt, he would have lived a more carefree and smoother life.
She didn't respond to Aunt Liu's words, sighed sadly, got up and said to Aunt Liu, "Auntie, let's have lunch here before leaving. It's time to prepare lunch now." She also wanted to see Aunt Liu's real skills.
Aunt Liu understood the meaning of Xiao Wanqing's euphemistic words, so she followed Xiao Wanqing into the kitchen and prepared lunch with her.
During the Monday morning meeting, the list of people on business trips was finally officially announced. The time is very tight, we will leave on Wednesday, and the initial business trip is two weeks.
In fact, it doesn't matter how long.
For her and Lin Xian, the only option for separation is indefinitely.
She won't go back until Lin Xian goes home for vacation.
Xiao Wanqing looked at the invitation letter for the exchange meeting that was on the desk for business trips, biting her lip and thinking in a daze.
Before she left, she seemed to have started to feel heartache, heartache Lin Xian's heartache when he slowly realized the truth.
But after all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, right? For the young Lin Xian, after this short night, life will have a long and infinite light.
She just regrets it. Before regretting it, why not treat Lin Xian better.
But after a brief heartache, she laughed at herself again, and let it go. It would be best for Lin Xian not to remember her kindness at all.
Forget about her, forget about her as a bad person. Forget about her, a dispensable person.
Since then, the sky is high and the sea is broad, and the future is bright.
During dinner in the evening, Lin Xian happily told Xiao Wanqing that the college was preparing for a professional debate competition, and recently their debate team was organizing and coaching the participating teams. Because of this, Shiman was entangled by a boy, Xia Zhijin seemed to be jealous, and Shiman was so happy that he could fly into the air.
The world of Lin Xian and her peers is always so simple, pure, relaxed and bright. Xiao Wanqing likes to hear Lin Xian tell her interesting things in school, and likes Lin Xian's brisk voice to bring her back to the energetic youth she once had.
But she also occasionally feels embarrassed.
It is difficult for her to dare not spoil Lin Xian's happiness when she is tired and sleepy occasionally, and cannot tell Lin Xian about the troubles and pressures she has encountered in a day. That is not what Lin Xian should bear at this age, nor is it understandable at Lin Xian's age. It's like, seeing Lin Xian beaming with joy when sharing with her, she can't say anything, she's going on a business trip, she's leaving.
A girl's smile is the treasure she wants to protect. How could she be willing to destroy her treasures with her own hands.
Until the end, the girl was wearing cute pajamas, sitting on the bed, took the hot milk he handed her, and said to her with a smile: "Thank you, Auntie Xiao."
Xiao Wanqing has no choice but to retreat, so I have to say.
She clenched her five fingers hidden in her nightgown, tried her best to look ordinary, and told Lin Xian casually: "Xianxian, I'm going to Hezhou for a business trip the day after tomorrow."
Lin Xianzheng lowered her head and took a sip of milk. Hearing this, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Wanqing in astonishment. She touched the cup with her lips. She was stunned for a moment before swallowing the milk. She wondered, "Is it so sudden? How many days will it take?"
"Didn't I mention it to you at the beginning of the year, does the company have a new strategic plan for this year? Now it's the implementation stage, and the company also temporarily decided to let me go, so it was a bit sudden." Xiao Wanqing's reasons were well-founded and made Lin Xian couldn't find a flaw.
"The preliminary plan is two weeks, and I'm not sure about the specifics. I hired a short-term nanny for you, and I will prepare three meals for you for me. You have to be obedient." This scene was simulated in Xiao Wanqing's mind She has practiced countless times, so the breathing she said was steady, as if it was real. She worked hard to control her facial muscles and tone, forcing herself to look directly at Lin Xian's suspicious eyes, and made a frank look, hoping to prevent her smart girl from seeing her evasion.
At work, business trips are a common occurrence. But inexplicably, Lin Xian's intuition told her that at this moment, at this juncture, something was wrong and dangerous. She was already a little inexplicably terrified, but when she heard that Xiao Wanqing hired a nanny for her, she became even more terrified, and her heart thumped. She frowned, the palm of her hand holding the glass gradually tightened, and her fingertips gradually turned blue and white.
She felt very uneasy. But she couldn't find any reason to be uneasy.
It's just a business trip, and it's not like Aunt Xiao won't be back.
She stared closely at Xiao Wanqing's eyes, trying to find traces of Xiao Wanqing's strange emotions. But Xiao Wanqing just let her look at her generously, and even hooked her lips, revealing a warm smile.
"It's only two weeks, why do you need to hire a nanny?" Lin Xian frowned, staring at Xiao Wanqing for a moment, trying to ask calmly.
Xiao Wanqing forced herself to squeeze out a soft smile, stretched out her five fingers, raised her hand to rub the girl's black hair, and joked lightly: "To supervise you. I'm not at home, and you didn't wake up early." Lesson, what if you sleep in late every day and don’t eat breakfast?”
Her eyes softened, she scratched the girl's nose again, and joked: "Besides, Ching Ming Festival is coming, I'm afraid you will be scared alone."
Her behavior couldn't be more normal, and Lin Xian couldn't find any clues to support the uneasiness in her heart. She comforted herself, maybe it was because she was like a snake, thinking wildly.
Xiao Wanqing is not a person who is good at lying, let alone telling a flawless lie to the person she likes. She couldn't hold on any longer, spent the last of her strength, and said goodbye to Lin Xian softly: "Then I'll go to rest, and you go to bed early, good night." After that, she didn't dare to look at Lin Xian again, turned around Lie down, the sadness and bitterness in his eyes can no longer be hidden.
But as soon as she took two steps, she heard the sound of a clear glass colliding with a solid object. In the next second, her body was imprisoned in place by a pair of slender and powerful arms.
Lin Xian hugged Xiao Wanqing, as if all of a sudden, hugging Xiao Wanqing's trembling heart drifting on the glacier.
She heard the girl buried her head beside her neck, and asked her sullenly, "Can I not go?"
The warmth of her embrace almost melted all of Xiao Wanqing's persistence.
