Chapter 21: Waiting for Someone
After sending the children away, Lin Xi came out of the house, he didn't know what he was holding, and he looked colorful.
"Let's go, let's dig sweet potatoes. ”
"What is this in your hand?" Wei Chenwan couldn't see what was so colorful.
"Let's go to the sweet potato field first, and then I'll tell you what it is. ”
Lin Xi went to get a hoe again, and took Wei Chenwan to dig sweet potatoes.
Walking to a large sweet potato field, Lin Xi solemnly unfolded the thing in his hand to Wei Chenwan, and Wei Chenwan saw that it was a pair of big pants.
"Put it on, don't get your pants dirty, this is what Senior Xiao gave me. ”
Wei Chenwan didn't twist and pinch, she took one casually and put it on, and as soon as she put it on, she heard Lin Xi laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"These pants are so funny, your legs are like turnips. ”
Wei Chenwan was angry when she heard this, and she picked up her fist and smashed it on Lin Xi's arm, who knew that Lin Xi's arm muscles were so hard, and she felt that her hand hurt after smashing.
"You're not wearing this, aren't you?"
Lin Xi put it directly on his legs, but it turned out that his height and such baggy big pants were not inconsistent at all.
"Well, I'm not the most handsome guy in the village. ”
Wei Chenwan didn't bother to pay attention to him, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to start digging sweet potatoes, but the hoe was very heavy, and she couldn't hold it very well, so she could only hold the hoe with both hands and dig hard.
Suddenly, she felt a body come up to her, and two hands reached out from behind her to grasp the hoe.
Lin Xi didn't directly take the hoe and do it herself, but just helped her work together, so that the sweet potato field was immediately planed up, revealing purple-red sweet potatoes inside.
Wei Chenwan's heartbeat accelerated a little, and the person behind her was directly behind her, which made her a little nervous, Lin Xi was no better, she was so close that she could directly smell the fragrance on her body, not the strong perfume smell, but the natural smell of a girl, it smelled very good.
After a while, a piece was gouged, and two men with gloves began to dig with their bare hands.
Shoot off the soil on the exposed sweet potatoes, and then dig the sweet potatoes out of the soil with force, and after a while, there are different sweet potatoes at the feet of the two people, some are slender and long, and some are round and chubby.
Wei Chenwan took a relatively thin sweet potato and said, "Lin Xi, this is really like you." ”
Lin Xi looked at this sweet potato with wide eyes, and just wanted to refute, he listened to her continue.
"You're tall and skinny, too. ”
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was talking about his brother, so anxious that he almost spat out fragrant fragrance.
"You think I'm as thin as before, I'm different now, you haven't seen it, why don't you say I'm as thin as you, I don't have any flesh on my body. ”
"You don't have meat, you don't have meat. Wei Chenwan threw the slender sweet potato at him.
Lin Xi's eyes were quick and he caught it.
Looking at the sweet potatoes full of harvest, Wei Chenwan took out her mobile phone to take pictures again to record the fruits of her labor.
"Wei Chenwan, I see you shoot strawberries, rabbits, and now sweet potatoes, why don't you shoot with me." ”
"Huh, you, do you want to take a picture with me?"
"Isn't that weird? Why don't you shoot with me? ”
"Isn't it true that most boys don't like to take pictures? ”
"Am I an ordinary boy? what's wrong with taking a picture with me, don't you want to?"
"No, no, no. ”
As she spoke, Wei Chenwan called up a beautiful camera APP, she smiled brightly, he had no expression, and after the shooting, Wei Chenwan showed it to Lin Xi.
"The two of us are too far apart, take another picture, I'll come." ”
Lin Xi took Wei Chenwan's mobile phone, stretched out her left hand to hold Wei Chenwan's shoulder and pulled the person over, and clicked on the screen, this time she smiled brightly, and he laughed too.
returned the phone to Wei Chenwan, and said again: "Upload it to me on WeChat." ”
Wei Chenwan pursed her lips, her cheeks bulging, and nodded.
The two of them returned with a full load, and Wei Chenwan washed the big pants covered with dirt and hung them on the outdoor shelf.
Xiao Yunhui taught them how to pickle pickles again.
Wei Chenwan felt that this day was extremely fulfilling, a hundred times more interesting than her usual life, and she probably figured out why a retired old policeman moved here to live, and she could find a lot of meaningful things to do away from the hustle and bustle.
In the evening, Xiao Yun still went back to cook, and the two of them worked together.
Wei Chenwan doesn't eat much at night, she usually doesn't exercise much, she doesn't get hungry easily, even if she does so much today, she only eats half a bowl of rice.
Xiao Yunhui wiped the stove clean and discussed things with them.
"There's one thing I'm not too embarrassed about, I only have three rooms here, one of which I changed to teach children to draw classrooms, and only the last room is left, but I collect it very clean, and there is floor heating, which is suitable for bunking, can you two squeeze it this night? If not, I'll talk to Sister Zhang next door and let Xiaowei live there." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just one night, and it's still on the floor, it's fine. Wei Chenwan shook his hand.
Lin Xi was afraid that she would mind: "It's really okay?"
"It's okay, otherwise it's too troublesome, and it will disturb other people's homes. ”
Since Wei Chenwan thinks it's okay, then it's no problem.
Lin Xi also wanted to go to the town for a walk.
Xiao Yunhui told them: "I'm old, I have to rest early, don't come back too late, remember to lock the door at the end." ”
Their place is surprisingly quiet at night, and you can still see the stars in the night sky when it gets dark, and when you come to a junction, you don't know who made a swing under a tree, probably for children.
Wei Chenwan sat up with a childlike heart, and Lin Xi stood aside.
She sat on the swing and shook it: "Originally, I still had a stomach of questions I wanted to ask Senior Xiao, but as soon as I came here, I almost lost my joy." ”
"I didn't expect it to be like this, Xing Ju originally asked me to take you to visit the seniors, and I thought it was to guide professional issues. ”
"Lin Xi, do you feel bitter as a policeman?"
"Bitter, especially when there is a case, we can't go home many times, saying that everyone takes turns off for a month, but in fact, most of the time we don't rest, and the more everyone can rest, the more we can't relax our vigilance,"
"Then do you think it's hard for you to be a police officer or a soldier before. ”
Lin Xi thought for a moment.
"These are two different kinds of suffering, when I was a soldier, it was physical suffering, when I was a recruit, they were very good to us, the squad leader was very concerned about our daily life, until I even changed everything, the squad leader who was kind to us suddenly changed a person, I felt that we recruits were deceived to live a good life for the army, and after the company, they began to clean us up, and I didn't sleep a good sleep when I first got out of the company. It was the most torturous in terms of physical strength, at that time, I went out to exercise every day, and I was able to do it step by step at any time, but there were many people who couldn't stand it, and I gritted my teeth and persevered at that time. Later, after getting used to it, it got a lot better, but it was easy to get injured, and I had a scar on my leg, which was cut by shrapnel during the exercise. So compared to then, it's nothing at all. ”
Wei Chenwan looked up at him.
"Thank you for so many years. ”
"At that time, I was able to persevere by a belief, and I felt that as long as I persevered, I could protect you. ”
When Lin Xi spoke, it didn't look like he was talking about an old thing at all, but he was confessing to her.
Wei Chenwan didn't know what to say, and there was a moment of silence between the two of them.
The leaves on the head were rattling.
"It's windy, go back. Lin Xi's voice was faint.
"Good. ”
The two returned to Xiao Yunhui together, went up to the second floor and opened a room, and saw that Xiao Yunhui had already made beds for them, at the left and right ends of the room.
"You go wash first, I happen to be smoking a cigarette outside. ”
Wei Chenwan took her things and walked to the bathroom outside the house, and after a while, there was a continuous sound of water, which made Lin Xi a little upset, so he simply went outside to smoke.
He thought of what he said just now, but why was Wei Chenwan a little unmoved, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his mind became, and when he came back to his senses, he had already smoked three cigarettes, he stepped on the last cigarette butt, and was ready to go upstairs.
There was no sound of water in the bathroom, there was the sound of a hair dryer in the room, he pushed open the door, and saw Wei Chenwan kneeling there and blowing his hair on his back, he took his clothes and went to take a bath.
By the time he wiped his hair and entered the room, Wei Chenwan was already sitting on the bed looking at his phone.
"Lin Xi, I'll put the hair dryer over there. ”
"Thank you. ”
Lin Xi was blowing his hair, plucking his wet hair with one hand and blowing a hair dryer with the other.
Wei Chenwan glanced over, his trouser waist was very low, and his shirt shrank up with his arms, and his flanks and mermaid line could be seen, buried in the waistband of his trousers.
She turned her head to continue looking at her phone, her face feeling a little hot.
With a "click", Lin Xi turned off the hair dryer, and the room was quiet.
Lin Xi lay down and took out his mobile phone to see what work arrangements were in the work group.
It was only nine o'clock, and it was the first time he had rested so early.
"Wei Chenwan, are you bored now?"
Wei Chen turned his head to look at him.
"A little bit. ”
"Watching a movie, I just filled up as a Penguin member two days ago. ”
"Okay. ”
After saying "Okay", the two of them were stunned again, now that the bed is so open, how do you see it, is he coming over, or she is coming.
Then he stood up very tacitly, and at the same time moved the bed to the middle, and after approaching side by side, Lin Xi found something to stand up and put the phone in the middle.
"What do you want to see?"
"I can do it all, you can choose. ”
Wei Chenwan said so, and the task of selecting films fell on Lin Xi's head, and he couldn't choose horror movies very straightforwardly, so he chose the latest Jurassic World.
The voice was moderate, and the two of them were lying on their own bed, Wei Chenwan hugged a pillow and put it under him, and looked at the phone screen with him.
Because he was close, Wei Chenwan asked him that there was no smell of smoke on his body, but a very fresh smell of shower gel.
Wei Chenwan rarely goes to the movies by herself, but since her brother and Su Qing were together, Su Qing pulled her back to the movies, and Su Qing pulled her to watch the last Jurassic World, and made up every part of the Jurassic series with her.
In order to save the dinosaurs, the male and female protagonists really turned the tide, and after a while she was fascinated, but she was still frightened by the sudden appearance of the dinosaurs.
Seeing her reaction to being startled sometimes, Lin Xi smiled, really wanting to touch her head.
"Are you scared?" Lin Xi asked.
"It's okay, as long as it doesn't appear out of nowhere, or my little heart will ......!"
Before he finished speaking, he was startled by the huge velociraptor dragon.
At the end of the two-hour movie, Wei Chenwan had already shrunk into the quilt and only showed one head, turned over and lay down directly.
Lin Xi turned off his mobile phone and put it aside to charge.
"The male protagonist is really powerful, he can beat people and fight dinosaurs. Wei Chenwan couldn't help but sigh.
"The setting of this male protagonist is a retired soldier. ”
"Don't you feel a little proud in your heart? ”
"Actually, I originally wanted to be a little more restrained, but then I thought about it, the combat ability of being a soldier is very strong, especially able to adapt to the environment, and the survivability is also first-class, I think there is nothing to be proud of. ”
Wei Chenwan seemed to see him shaking his little head proudly.
Lin Xi saw that Wei Chenwan had already covered the quilt and lay down, so he said, "I turned off the lights?"
"Good. ”
Lin Xi got up, turned off the lights in the room, and then lay down as well.
In the darkness, it occurred to him that their beds were still next to each other and not separated, and that if he reached out, he could touch her.
Lin Xi looked at the ceiling with two eyes and swallowed his saliva.
"Wei Chenwan, can I ask you a question?"
"You say. ”
"Why didn't you find a boyfriend, didn't you find the right one?"
Wei Chenwan didn't expect him to change the topic so quickly.
"Then why don't you get a girlfriend?"
This topic was thrown back to Lin Xi.
"Because you didn't find the right one, you'd rather lack than abuse, what about you?"
"I'm waiting for someone. ”
As soon as he said this, Lin Xi suddenly lost confidence.
It turned out that she already had someone in her heart, and he didn't know when she had someone in her heart, maybe it was when he went to be a soldier and wasn't by her side in those years.
"You...... Who is the man you are waiting for?"
After speaking, he was like slapping himself, usually slapping himself, usually slapping a lot, why can't he even say a nice word now.
Besides, even if Wei Chenwan told him, he might not know him, and it wasn't that he was bored.
The people around him were silent, Lin Xi turned his head, and only saw Wei Chenwan's back.
After being silent for a long time, he thought that Wei Chenwan was asleep.
At the end, Lin Xi also turned over gently, and reached out to pull the quilt behind Wei Chenwan.
"Wei Chenwan, if the person you are waiting for is me, how good it would be. ”
Lin Xi said this slowly, but he didn't see that Wei Chenwan was not asleep, she just chose to be silent because she couldn't answer Lin Xi's question, but she didn't expect to wait for his words.
