Before Xiao Wanqing left, she asked Aunt Liu to meet Lin Xian at home, and the three of them had a meal together. Lin Xian and Aunt Liu felt that each other was pleasing to the eye, and there was nothing uncomfortable about it. Xiao Wanqing tidied up the study to make room, and turned down the bed that had been folded on the wall on weekdays. The place where the month rests.
Aunt Xiao left, and Aunt Liu came. Two people still live in a house, and three meals a day are the same as before. When Lin Xian comes home from school, she can still see busy women in the kitchen.
But in the end, it's different.
In the house without Aunt Xiao, no matter how warm the lights are, the temperature will not be the original temperature. What Lin Xian feels is the coldness and loneliness of the whole body.
Both the home and the kitchen had lost their appeal to her.
Every night at 10:30 is the time when Lin Xian is most looking forward to and the happiest.
According to Xiao Wanqing's living habits she observed on weekdays, she knew that it was probably time for her to wash up and rest after her busy work. So, she always took advantage of this time to call Xiao Wanqing.
She is not greedy, and she doesn't need to talk a lot for a long time. As long as she can hear Xiao Wanqing's warm and pleasant voice flowing into her cochlea through the speaker of the mobile phone before going to bed, Lin Xian will be satisfied and fall asleep with a happy smile.
In the first week, Xiao Wanqing was always able to answer her phone in time at this time, chatted with her more or less, listened to her talk about her daily life, and expressed her thoughts frankly and enthusiastically. , the two sides said good night and sweet dreams to each other.
Until one night in the second week, everything seemed to change quietly.
The debate team led by Lin Xian unexpectedly defeated a strong enemy and won the championship of the preliminary round. Lin Xian excitedly called Xiao Wanqing at the usual time and couldn't wait to share the good news with her, but Xiao Wanqing abnormally hung up the phone shortly after the phone rang.
A few seconds later, Xiao Wanqing sent her a text message explaining: "Xianxian, I'm still working overtime for a temporary meeting, and I'll get back to you when I finish my work later."
Lin Xian froze for a moment, his brows and eyes, which were originally full of tenderness and a smile, suddenly drooped. She was lost for only two or three seconds, and then, only a deep heartache remained.
It's so late, Aunt Xiao is still working overtime, has she eaten yet? Will the work be particularly hard
She replied a brief text message to Xiao Wanqing: "Okay, wait for you, don't be too tired."
She began the long wait with great anticipation.
She thought that Aunt Xiao had always been a person who kept her word and kept her word. If she said she would get back to her later when she was done with work, she would definitely get back to her.
She hugged the little Teddy who could barely smell the smell left on Xiao Wanqing's body, from half past ten to half past eleven, half past twelve, half past one...
No phone calls, text messages, nor.
Lin Xian was so sleepy that he yawned and shed tears, but he kept his energy up and stared straight at the phone, for fear of missing any reply from Xiao Wanqing.
Lin Xian began to struggle with sleepiness and exhaustion. She didn't dare to call or send text messages to Xiao Wanqing. She was afraid that Xiao Wanqing had already fallen asleep and would be woken up by her, but she didn't dare to fall asleep. She was afraid of missing the first call from Xiao Wanqing. reply.
Aunt Xiao is still working overtime, this thought makes Lin Xian feel distressed and reluctant to give up.
Aunt Xiao forgot that she was waiting for her reply and had already fallen asleep. This guess inevitably made her a little sad and disappointed.
Time passed minute by minute amidst the entanglement and guesswork. At half past four, the full moon was covered by dark clouds, and it was pitch black. Lin Xian found a reason to comfort himself: Aunt Xiao must have thought she was asleep, so she didn't reply to her.
On the first night when Aunt Xiao's voice was not heard, Lin Xian grasped the phone with five fingers, and finally at five o'clock when the moon and stars began to disappear, she couldn't resist the drowsiness and let go unconsciously. The mobile phone lightly landed on Lin Xian's thin quilt.
She was really sleepy... One second before she lost consciousness, Lin Xian thought, go to sleep, Aunt Xiao, don't work overtime...
What she didn't know was what kind of mood Xiao Wanqing used to press the dazzling red hang up button in the Hezhou Hotel, and what kind of restraint she used to suppress the unbearable and reluctance in her heart. Will she look forward to it or wait, or let Lin Xian wait cruelly for her impossible reply.
At half past four, under rational persuasion, Xiao Wanqing set the alarm clock at half past seven, took sleeping pills, and forced herself to fall asleep.
She laughed wryly at herself. Lin Xian, look, my lord, I don't even have the qualifications to stay up late and indulge.
Only children have the right to be willful.
She's an adult, she's not qualified, she's not qualified for anything...
Thousands of miles apart, they looked up at the same full moon and endured the same sleepless night. Then, before the same approaching dawn, they passed out in the last icy night.
The photo album tightly held in his hands gradually loosened.
At the corner of Xiao Wanqing's sleeping eyes, there was a crystal tear.
She whispered in her sleep, don't wait for me.
Not today, not tomorrow, not in the future.
You gotta get used to being disappointed in me.
The next day, since the morning, Lin Xian has been looking at his phone restlessly. The fourth class before school is probability theory, and Shi Man's speed of taking notes cannot compare with the speed of turning pages of the teacher's slides. She habitually looked at Lin Xian's notebook, which had always been quick to take notes, but was surprised to find that Lin Xian's notebook was abnormally blank.
Shi Man raised his head and glanced at Lin Xian in surprise, only then did he see Lin Xian lowering his head, frowning, looking at his dark mobile phone screen for a moment.
Shi Man poked Lin Xian's thigh with his index finger, and after attracting Lin Xian's attention, he silently asked her with his mouth: "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Xian stared at Shiman thoughtfully, after a while, she suddenly unlocked the phone, opened the text message input page, typed a few words and handed it to Shiman: "Manman, send me a text message, Let's see if I can get it."
Shi Man was a little baffled, but he still took out his phone from the drawer, followed his advice, and sent Lin Xian a full stop.
In a few seconds, Lin Xian's phone screen lit up, indicating that there was an unread text message.
Lin Xian's brows were furrowed even tighter. She looked at Shi Man's phone, then at her own phone, and suddenly her mouth was flattened, and her eyes turned red. Her big black eyes were foggy.
Shi Man thought that he was doing a good deed, but he never thought that instead of getting rid of Lin Xian's frown, he made Lin Xian's eyes red. Her eyes widened in astonishment, and Tao Hua's eyes were full of panic. What's the situation? ! did she do something !
Lin Xian also noticed his gaffe, took a deep breath, and forcefully forced back the tears. She typed a few words and explained to Shiman: "I haven't waited for Auntie Xiao's text message, I thought my phone was broken."
Shi Man completely gave up on attending classes, took Lin Xian's cell phone, and gossiped under Lin Xian's words: "Is it a very important text message?"
Lin Xian was taken aback by Shi Man's question.
Is it important
Actually, it doesn't matter much.
Perhaps, what is important is not Aunt Xiao's text message, but her anticipation and waiting mood. It's her, hoping that Aunt Xiao will be like her, remembering her expectations after being busy.
Lin Xian reflected on herself, she must have made trouble for no reason. Aunt Xiao is already so busy, why can't she be considerate, why there are so many selfish expectations and demands, why put extra pressure on Xiao Wanqing after she finally finishes her work
She even began to reflect on whether her regular and fixed phone calls every day were a burden to Xiao Wanqing who wanted to rest
At noon, she finally waited for a text message from her sweetheart.
Xiao Wanqing told her that she was too busy to forget yesterday and only remembered today. She asked Lin Xian if there was anything important
Holding the mobile phone in both hands, Lin Xian read the short text messages of the past few days over and over again, savoring that "important matter", and his heart suddenly ached.
These days, when she called Xiao Wanqing every day, she never had anything important. What can she do? The most important thing for her is everything around Xiao Wanqing.
So, it's really nothing important, you shouldn't be calling, right
But her Aunt Xiao has always been gentle and tactful, even if she really has any troubles, she probably won't tell her directly.
Sure enough, Xiao Wanqing told her: "Xianxian, I will be busy in the future, and I may not be able to receive your calls in time. If you have anything to do, you can send me a text message. I'll get back to you when I see it."
Lin Xian's heart felt as if it had been hit hard by something, and under the excessive force, it seemed that the texture was cracking and blood oozing out.
It turned out that she thought she shared an interesting life with Aunt Xiao, and the sweet conversation she thought she had before going to bed was really a burden for busy Aunt Xiao.
She was so, so self righteous. Sure enough, is she too young to understand others
Lin Xian bit his lip in bewilderment, and after a while, he sadly replied "Yes" to Xiao Wanqing. Two seconds later, with red eyes, she sent another one: "Aunt Xiao, no matter how busy you are at work, you have to take care of yourself." Behind it was a smiling expression.
She counted the days when Xiao Wanqing would come back with her fingers, but it was still five days away, and it was actually very fast. She warned herself, Lin Xian, you have to learn to be a sensible and considerate lover.
In the evening, Lin Xian and Tang Mo visited a special boutique together. It is said that the boutique was opened by a graduate from Keenan University when he started his business. Everything in it is handmade, and each one is unique. Of course, relatively speaking, the price will be more expensive.
When Lin Xian and Tang Mo came to shop for goods, they wanted to see if there was anything that could be bought as a birthday present for Chen Zhi. She took a casual glance and saw that there was only one unique snowflake crystal ball music box left on the top of the cabinet.
Unlike common crystal balls, in this crystal ball, the two villains in front of the cabin are not the traditional one male and one female, but two long-haired girls hugging each other.
Lin Xian turned to the boss and asked if he could take it off for her to see. The boss smiled, and while stepping on the ladder to get the crystal ball, he said, "To be honest, I couldn't bear to see the seller's disheartened look. I just agreed to buy it, but I didn’t expect it to be sold for a long time after I received it, so I threw it on top. If you like it, girl, I can add a little storage fee to the original price and treat it as a A gift to a loved one."
Lin Xian hugged the crystal ball, looked at the two women embracing in front of the snowy wooden house, couldn't put it down immediately, and decided to buy it without any hesitation.
After she finishes teaching in the evening, she can receive this week's class fee. This can be regarded as the first gift she bought for Aunt Xiao with her own money, right
It doesn't look expensive at all, so even if Aunt Xiao didn't know that she bought it with her own money, she should be willing to accept it, right
She wanted to buy a birthday present for Aunt Xiao, but she hadn't saved enough money to buy it, but when Aunt Xiao came back, she would give her the answer. Could this be their first small gift after dating? Aunt Xiao should like it, right
Lin Xian looked at the crystal ball put into the cardboard box, with a bright smile flickering in his eyes.
In the evening, when Lin Xian returned home after teaching, it began to rain lightly. Xia Zhijin proposed to drive Lin Xian home directly, but Lin Xian refused because there was no little sheep to take the bus to school the next day.
She was wearing a raincoat and riding a little sheep leisurely on the wet road with few pedestrians.
There is a crossroad ahead, and when you are about to cross it, two dazzling high beams suddenly light up behind you
. In an instant, Lin Xian's eyes turned white. When she saw clearly the pedestrians who jumped out of the road at some point, the distance between the car and the person was only a few meters away.
Lin Xian subconsciously turned the car sideways quickly, trying to avoid the passing pedestrians. However, she didn't see clearly that there was a triangular pedestrian platform on the side where she turned sideways.
After a loud bang, Lin Xian fell from the little sheep and fell heavily on the pedestrian platform.
Legs, being pressed by the car, fell on the sharp corners of the table above the ground, elbows grazed the ground heavily, and the head, because of the helmet, hit the ground hard, but in the end Still the lightest.
But for a moment, Lin Xian's mind was blank. She stared blankly at the few pedestrians around who looked at her in panic.
In the next moment, she slowly came to her senses, her senses came back, and the pain began to hit her.
Before the pedestrian helped her up the car, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly pushed away the little sheep that was pressing on her leg, pulled out her leg, sat up tremblingly, and took off a strap of the backpack , Pulled the schoolbag.
Gritting her teeth and waving her painful right hand, she opened the zipper of her schoolbag and carefully took out the cardboard box containing the crystal ball. She opened the cardboard box anxiously, and looked at the crystal ball in the box as if she was watching a dream that was easy to wake up.
The arc-shaped glass is still round and smooth.
Lin Xian held the cardboard box in his arms with his intact left hand, and smiled softly.
The kind-hearted man helped her to lift the little sheep up. Looking at the strange girl who was sitting slumped in the muddy rainwater, her elbows were torn and her ankles were exposed, she was obviously bleeding but smiling, and asked her hesitantly: " Girl, can you still stand up? Do you want to call 120?"
Lin Xian gently put the crystal ball back into the schoolbag. Enduring the pain, she supported herself to stand up, pushed the little sheep, and thanked the kind-hearted person: "No, my house is right in front. Thank you."
Her hands hurt so much, and she was afraid that she would not be able to squeeze the brakes with all her strength, so she didn't dare to get in the car, so she limped and pushed the car back in the rain.
She never knew before that she was so superstitious.
But in the pain and panic, she saw the safe and sound crystal ball, and couldn't help but feel happy.
In this case, it's fine.
Is this a good sign? Does it mean that the relationship between her and Aunt Xiao is also like this, even if there are ups and downs, she will remain steadfast and unwavering.
Lin Xian bared his teeth in pain, but laughed at himself happily in his heart: I'm afraid I've gone mad.
Only Aunt Xiao became obsessed.
At the celebration banquet at the Laier Resort Villa in Nagasawa City, Wen Tong gritted her teeth and looked at Director Zuo who was working with her in front of her. She forced a smile and greeted the guests for a long time, and finally found a chance to leave the hall. With her back to the hustle and bustle of the room, she rested her hands on the balcony, silently looking at the bustling and lonely night scene of the city.
There was the crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor, which sounded rhythmically in Wen Tong's ears, once and for all, neither too fast nor too slow.
The knocking sound unexpectedly stopped beside Wen Tong.
The woman's soft voice seemed to be drunk and lazy: "No matter where Director Wen is, he can't help but make people's eyes shine."
Wen Tong turned his head sideways and looked at this woman who was wearing a dark embroidered cheongsam with pinched waist, high bun, dignified and gentle, with a variety of styles, but her expression was three parts smiling and seven parts cold and noble, like a queen.
The most distinguished guest of this banquet——Shi Jinglan.
She didn't know why, and waited silently for the next step.
"After hard work, the credit and limelight belong to others, are you willing?" Shi Jinglan shook the goblet in his hand, stabbing Wen Tong indifferently, hitting the nail on the head.
Wen Tong's hand placed on the balcony railing unconsciously clenched slightly.
Shi Jinglan stared at Wen Tong lightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips: "Shi Xing's invitation is still valid." She poured a goblet slightly towards Wen Tong, and under Wen Tong's gaze, Then, she pursed her red lips lightly, then turned around and left slowly.
It's time for the partners to give their speeches.
In the bright lights, Wen Tong saw Shi Jinglan's graceful back, step by step, as if stepping on the starlight. The moment she stepped onto the high platform and turned around, everything around her seemed to be eclipsed and reduced to a backplane in an instant.
Heh... Wen Tong inexplicably sneered.
Self righteous woman.
