countdown to winter

Chapter 27

If Wen Xia didn't mention it, he would really have forgotten about it.

So this morning, Shi Xing was forced to sit at the table and do the math test papers. Wen Xia came over from time to time to see how he was doing, and occasionally bent down to give him lectures.

Wen Xia asked, "Do you understand?"

Shixing nodded.

So Wen Xia stopped talking, turned and left, and closed the door.He was about to go to the supermarket to buy some food for lunch, but after a few steps, his phone rang suddenly.

A door away, Wen Xia stood in front of the French window and answered the phone, it was Lin Shu's.

"I woke up—you drank a little too much last night, and my junior sister gave you a shock," Lin Shu said, "You still don't drink very well."

"What's wrong?" Wen Xia looked for shoes and put them on, "I'm still in my family?"

"That's not true," Lin Shu said, "Those few yesterday were a bit too much, don't worry about it, just find someone else to come out to play with."

Wen Xia didn't care too much: "I was supposed to leave first, it's not too good, they are all very nice."

The two chatted for a while, Wen Xia took her coat, closed the door softly, and walked to the supermarket, Lin Shu suddenly said, "Let me tell you something."

"You said."

"The child who lives in your house is that time star," Lin Shu thought about his words, and said euphemistically, "I think he has something to do."

"Just a kid," Wen Xia smiled, "Can he still be a spy?"

"No, Wen Xia, I'm serious," Lin Shu said in a deep voice, "I'm not talking about being in love, but I know a little bit about it. The way he looks at you is wrong."

Wen Xia was stunned, her footsteps stopped.

"...not so much."

"If you don't want to make trouble with other children, I think you should stay away from him," Lin Shu said, "I really think that the way he looks at you is very possessive, as if he wants to eat you. "

"He may be different from others... You may be wrong."

"How old is that child, he must be almost eighteen or already," Lin Shu said, "he can be called a man, and they are all men. When I took you home last night, the way he looked at me Like I snatched his things, and the way he looked at you, a man with that kind of look, that kind of... with desire and... kind of crazy feeling, I don't know how to describe it to you, I It’s not about the liberal arts—in short, you should be careful.”

After Wen Xia hung up the phone, he still didn't react. He didn't react until the cashier handed him a steel coin after he finished shopping.

Wen Xia didn't believe it.

But Lin Shu would not lie to him for no reason.

Wen Xia sighed, and drove all the messy thoughts out of her mind.

It has been about three months since Shi Xing and him met for the first time, and Shi Xing has always maintained the modesty that a friend should have towards him, occasionally acting like a baby and being innocent as a child should be. But it didn't show any... strong possessive desire.

But there also seems to be...

Wen Xia was a little irritable, and didn't think about it anymore—one step at a time.

Can't be the first... to wrong someone else's child.

Wen Xia went home, made lunch, asked Shi Xing to eat, Shi Xing walked out of the room, met his complicated eyes, he was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Wen Xia said with a smile, "Come over for dinner. After dinner, I'll take you to my study. Last time I said I would show you, but I forgot."

After dinner, Shi Xing followed Wen Xia to the study room, Wen Xia pushed open the door, "Choose a few books and read them, I will give them to you."

When Shi Xing opened his eyes, he saw a bookcase on one wall, which was full of books. When Shi Xing walked in, he held his breath involuntarily, "There are so many books."

"I've read some, and I haven't read some. Most of the ones I haven't read are above," Wen Xia walked in, "If you need me to recommend a few books to you, you should choose them yourself."

"You do it."

Shi Xing stepped back and stood there. He hadn't read much and was afraid of embarrassing himself in front of Wen Xia.

Wen Xia pulled out a book: "Then I'll pick out some books I probably read in high school—this is "Thunderstorm" by Cao Yu. Do you like Chinese literature or foreign literature?"

"It will be all right."

"Pride and Prejudice, well, when I read it, I read it purely as a romance. After reading it, I didn't leave much impression. I didn't understand it until I read it a second time," Wen Xia handed him the two books. , and continued to take the book, "There is also "Love in the Time of Cholera", which may be a bit thick, but it is very good-looking. If you think the name of the person is long, you can find a note and write it down to form a network of characters. This is what I did back then. "

Wen Xia chose "The Little Prince" for him as the last book.

Shi Xing couldn't help but ask, "Isn't "The Little Prince" a book for children?"

"Aren't you a kid?" Wen Xia asked in surprise, and then smiled, "Let's take a look, I've read this book several times, it's a very cute book."

"Let's find four for you first." Wen Xia sorted out the rest of the books, then turned to smile at him, "You won't be able to finish reading too much, so don't do your homework this afternoon, just read the books here—— I probably don't have much homework left."

"..."

Shi Xing thought to himself, isn't seven test papers too many?

In the afternoon, Wen Xia really didn't ask him to do his homework, but just let him sit in the study and read a book. Shi Xing reads very quickly, and he can memorize all the content without any effort. He only spent one afternoon reading "The Little Prince" .

During dinner, Wen Xia asked him which book he had read, Shi Xing said the title of the book, Wen Xia: "Do you think it looks good?"

"It's beautiful," Shi Xing bit the spoon, "I think those words are very simple... But when I read it, I feel very... just indescribable."

"Ok?"

Shi Xing stopped talking.

He remembered a sentence in it, to be precise, he remembered the entire content of the book, but he couldn't forget that sentence alone.

"If you tame me, my life will be filled with sunshine. I will be able to distinguish a footstep from another. Others' footsteps will make me hide in the bottom, but your footsteps are like music, will get me out of the cave.*”

Shi Xing felt that he was the tamed fox now, and he saw the sunshine.

The author says:

*Excerpt from "The Little Prince" (nonsense, if you have seen this but still think it is not good-looking, the suggestion is to retreat. You and I are both psychologically fragile. Writers who see bad comments will be thieves. QVQ Every other article in the article I wrote every word carefully. There is really no such thing as showing off your writing skills. If you think so, I suggest you retreat ww I have no class this afternoon. I will have a calligraphy class for the first time in the evening (I’m looking forward to it QVQ good afternoon Everyone
