The square iron window frame is covered with mottled rust.
Huo Yan closed the window gently, and took back a pot of succulents by the window.
This bottle of succulent is called "Xiong Tongzi", and it looks like the palm of a little bear. The light green palm is decorated with thin white fluff, and there are light red dots on the front edge, just like the nails of bear claws.
She carefully packed "Xiong Boy" and put it in a rose red suitcase.
Huo Yan is petite and can only carry a heavy suitcase, moving out of the room step by step with difficulty.
There was no one in the huge living room, so she yelled to the balcony: "Mom, I'm going to report to the school."
Mother was calling her sister Huo Sinuan, so she didn't have time to talk to her.
"Nuannuan, how are the preparations for the welcome party?"
"You have to behave well, you know."
"By the way, Fu Shihan will come to see it, right?"
"How could you not know that the two of you have always been very close from high school to college, and of course he has to come to see you dancing ballet at the welcome party."
"What is not a boyfriend, as long as you work hard, he will be your boyfriend sooner or later."
Huo Yan stood alone by the door, hesitated for a while, and decided to wait for his mother to finish calling.
"My daughter is so beautiful, versatile, good-natured, gentle and kind, Fu Shihan has no reason not to like you."
"Although our family's conditions are not as good as their Fu's family, this marriage was decided by your grandfather. The old man of the Fu family and your grandfather are comrades-in-arms. They have a lifelong friendship. Their family also fully agrees with this marriage. This is a once-in-a-lifetime relationship. Opportunity. So what you have to do now is to firmly grasp Fu Shihan's heart."
"Your sister starts school today, don't worry about it, and prepare for tonight's performance. Your parents have done so much, but it's all for you."
The mother finally finished the phone call, turned her head to catch a glimpse of her little daughter Huo Yan, lowered her tone, and said calmly, "Is everything packed?"
"It's ready." Huo Yan nodded obediently.
The mother walked up to Huo Yan and told her in a soft voice: "When you arrive at school, don't trouble your sister, and take care of her in everything. The two sisters should take care of each other, you know."
"knew."
Before leaving, her mother handed a new mobile phone to Huo Yan.
"When you go to college, you should have your own mobile phone. If you have anything to do in the future, you should contact your family more often."
"thanks Mom."
There was no particularly happy expression on Huo Yan's face, he picked up his luggage and prepared to go out.
The mother seemed to remember something again, and stopped her: "By the way, your sister has a performance tonight, and the dormitory is tidy, so go and cheer for your sister."
"Okay, Mom, I'm leaving then."
"Go."
Huo Yan was carrying heavy luggage. When he went out, he tripped over the door frame and staggered to stabilize his figure.
"Hey, be careful, clumsy."
The mother shook her head, thinking that this older sister and younger sister are really incomparable.
It is said that the daughter is the caring little padded jacket of the parents. She thought of sending Huo Sinuan to college last year, and the eldest daughter cried so much that she kept telling her to take care of her body, how reluctant she was to part with it.
The youngest daughter had no emotional reaction at all, and was not heart-warming at all.
Huo Sinuan, the elder sister, was smart since she was a child, has good academic performance, has a sweet mouth, can tell witty words to please adults, and is sensible and well-behaved.
But the younger sister, Huo Yan, who is only one year younger, spoke only when she was five years old. Her brain is not flexible enough, she is not clever enough, her grades are mediocre, and she is still a stuffy person.
With such an obvious contrast, sister Huo Sinuan is naturally doted on by her parents, while Huo Yan... probably can support her.
The parents never had any hope for Huo Yan, they put all their thoughts on their elder sister Huo Sinuan, especially the good marriage between the Huo family and the Fu family once promised, also belonged to the elder sister.
As for Huo Yan, he hopes to marry someone who is honest and responsible, so that he can live a good life.
Today is the day for the freshman report of S University.
Huo Yan came to the school with a small amount of luggage, under the scorching sun of midsummer, reported and registered, got the dormitory key, tidied up the dormitory...
Recalling when my sister was in college, her mother held an umbrella for her, her father helped her carry her bag, and a few cousins followed behind, helping her sister find a dormitory with a map. It was so lively.
But such excitement never belonged to me.
After tidying up the dormitory, Huo Yan remembered that she had a new mobile phone now. Although this mobile phone was only considered a medium-grade mobile phone, she still regarded it as a treasure. She took it to the campus mobile phone shop to have a film on it and put a plastic casing on it.
Huo Yan's family is not well-off, and his parents are both working class. Over the years, all the family's financial resources have been concentrated on Huo Sinuan.
She's going to learn ballet, piano, manners...and of course, beautiful clothes and jewelry.
The whole family tried their best to raise Huo Sinuan into a famous lady, just to be worthy of that rich son, Fu Shihan.
The second daughter, Huo Yan, was much more frugal in food and clothing, and had very little pocket money. She didn't own her first mobile phone until she went to college.
Huo Yan never complained about this.
When I was a child, my grandmother who was over seventy years old once held Huo Yan's hand, saying that such a good girl would definitely have the best boys to love her. The boy from the Fu family, whom grandma met in the early years, has a calm mind and a good appearance, and he must be worthy of our Yanyan.
Huo Yan said: "Grandma, you are confused. It is my sister who is engaged to Fu Shihan, not me."
Grandma lost all her teeth, she pouted her mouth, and looked at Huo Yan with pity from her small triangular eyes.
"Some children are too bright and have little blessings; but silly children also have the blessings of silly children. God will take care of you after suffering."
Grandma is the only one in the whole family who likes Huo Yan, and when grandma passed away, her elder sister Huo Sinuan cried so much that she was about to faint. Everyone said that Sinuan was a good and filial child. Crying.
But when everyone was sound asleep, Huo Yan knelt alone in the mourning hall, keeping vigil for grandma until dawn.
This kneeling lasted for three days, and she never closed her eyes for a moment.
In the evening, Huo Yan took out the bottle of Xiongtongzi succulents from the suitcase.
A glass bottle about the size of a fingernail was buried in the soil between Xiong Tongzi's palms, and there was a rolled-up homework paper in the glass bottle.
Huo Yan took out the curled homework paper, which was yellowed and wrinkled, with a string of phone numbers written on it.
The outline of a boy appeared in her memory, young and handsome, with thick eyebrows like swords.
It was August last year, during the scorching heat, the boy sneaked over the courtyard wall to find Huo Yan, and pulled her ponytail, extremely arrogant and domineering.
"Huo girl, I'm going to college, remember to call me, this is my number."
After the two talked for half an hour, the adults in the family came back, and the boy hurried away and climbed up the wall, but he still looked back at her reluctantly.
Huo Yan will never forget that boy on the wall, with a pair of peach blossom eyes protruding inwardly and outwardly, how burning and moving they are.
She put away the homework paper with the phone number on it, and now she entered the number into her new mobile phone, and noted three words—
Fu Shihan.
Huo Yan put down the phone, the bedroom door opened with a creak, and roommate Lin Chuyu walked in.
She was holding three thermos bottles in her hand, and she said in a high voice, "Huo Yan, I just saw your thermos bottle downstairs. You must have forgotten to mention it carelessly, so I brought it up for you." !"
Huo Yan looked down at the green thermos bottle in her hand.
"Thanks."
Lin Chuyu smiled and waved: "You're welcome, we will all be roommates in the future, and we should take care of each other."
Huo Yan pondered for a moment, then said: "I will trouble you to go downstairs and put the thermos back in place."
"Why!" Lin Chuyu was stunned.
Huo Yan couldn't bear it and said, "Because that's not my thermos."
Lin Chuyu: ...
The two are not very familiar with each other, only a few conversations before, Lin Chuyu impressed Huo Yan the most, is her huge breasts.
The radiance of motherhood really shines on the earth, Huo Yan immediately fell in love with this warm-hearted girl with big breasts and strength.
Lin Chuyu and Huo Yan went to the boiling water room together, and returned the other person's thermos to its original place.
While queuing up to fetch water, Huo Yan heard the girls behind him discussing about the welcome party.
"The welcome party is hosted by the Academy of Arts, and the program is absolutely beautiful."
"The most anticipated, of course, is the performance of Huo Sinuan, the flower of the Art Academy."
"What is she performing?"
"Swan Lake, it is said that she looks so beautiful dancing ballet!"
"Want to see."
"Don't think about it, the student union released the ticket, but I didn't grab it."
…
The girls moaned in disappointment.
Lin Chuyu said to Huo Yan: "When I entered the school to report, I saw Huo Sinuan's ballet poster on the wall. She is really beautiful!"
Huo Yan nodded: "Because she looks a lot like me."
Lin Chuyu pushed her, and said with a smile: "I found that you always like to talk nonsense in a serious manner, what's the matter?"
Huo Yan raised his dark eyes and said frankly: "I am a real person."
Lin Chuyu looked at Huo Yan's beautiful face. She had fair skin and delicate and handsome features.
"It's a bit like it. You are pretty, but a girl like Huo Sinuan who is as beautiful as a school girl and who is engaged to Fu Shihan is not from the same world as us."
Huo Yan said expressionlessly: "She is my sister."
Lin Chuyu laughed: "Oh, you are so humorous."
Huo Yan: ...
After fetching water, Lin Chuyu carried two water bottles and strode like flying all the way, leaving Huo Yan far behind.
What a weird loli!
Huo Yan picked up his water bottle and quickened his pace.
Lin Chuyu shouted loudly, and shouted at Huo Yan across half of the playground: "Huo Yan! Can you hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up with the welcome party!"
"Hey, you go first, don't wait for me."
Huo Yan still decided to walk slowly, she didn't want to fall down.
Her reflexes are indeed a bit slower than others, and she is not as agile as others, so be careful not to fall.
"Huo Yan, hurry up!"
…
On the basketball court, a hard-fought basketball game is coming to an end. The main striker of Jixin College suddenly stopped.
He raised his deep eyes like ink, walked through a line of obsessed cheerleading girls, and looked at the girl walking alone by the road.
The girl's cheeks were flushed with the unique blush of midsummer, and a few strands of broken hair fell down and hung gently on her neck. The skin on her neck was fair and clean.
She was wearing a white short sleeve, and her slender waist was particularly thin.
She carried the thermos bottle and walked slowly step by step. Although the pace is slow, but very focused.
It was getting late, and she looked soft in the twilight.
"Fu Shihan, who are you looking at!" The teammates stopped and asked in confusion.
Fu Shihan looked away, caught the ball again, took off, scored a three-pointer, and the crowd cheered.
He couldn't help but look up again, and the girl's figure had disappeared into the twilight crowd.
"I still have something to do." Fu Shihan dropped the basketball and left without looking back.
"Hey, where are you going? It's not over yet!"
The teammates around him were puzzled. Fu Shihan had always been aloof and reserved, and he could never put anyone in his eyes. Who did he see just now
It's like losing your soul.
