The closer he got to parting, the more reluctant Yi Shuihan felt.

In his eyes, these children are no longer collectively called students or mountain children, but children with their own personalities, or cute, or stubborn, or introverted, or cheerful, or rebellious.

This group of simple and innocent children easily walked into Yi Shuihan's heart with the most sincere and simple kindness and gratitude, making him worried, reluctant, and unable to let go.

It was like at noon that day, when the children saw that he had no talent in his bowl, they gave him the potatoes in their bowls.

Just like the other night, a shy student waited for more than two hours in the cold wind before he mustered up the courage to walk into Yi Shuihan's dormitory, just to hand him the fresh fruit at home.

Just like every day for these two months, when I teach them, these children look at them with pure, serious, adoring eyes.

There are countless such inadvertent touches, Yi Shuihan thinks that he is not an emotional person, but he is often moved to the point of speech.

The memory on his phone is not small, but he doesn't think it's enough.

There were so many things he wanted to record, the way they studied seriously, their curious and innocent eyes, the frolic of a group of students chasing a worn-out leather ball on the yellow mud floor......

Looking at the photos of this group of children taken on his mobile phone, he sometimes thinks that maybe one day he will lose everything, but in this mountainous area, this place called Wangjiatun, he still has such a group of lovely children.

He gradually discovered that in addition to acting, he seemed to have found another meaning in life.

"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, the sunset outside the mountain, the end of the sky, the corner of the earth, and the acquaintance is half scattered......"

In class, Yi Shuihan sang softly, and the child listened and learned carefully as always.

Wang Xian, who was outside the door, found that Teacher Yi's singing voice was as good as she expected, clean, warm and soft.

After school, the sharp-eyed child saw Wang Xian and said to Yi Shuihan with a smile: "Teacher, Sister Xiaoxian is coming to you again~"

Maybe there will be naughty children on the side, Yi Shuihan smiled and gave them a burst of chestnuts, and they made faces and fled.

Every time at this time, Wang Xian would look at Yi Shuihan and smile, quietly.

"Brother Akan, I made you something delicious, can you taste it?" Wang Xian asked with a smile.

Looking at her expectant expression, Yi Shuihan was reluctant to say half a word.

A small lunch box is filled with delicately presented food.

"This is the little crab I caught in the creek this morning, this egg is the ...... of the old hen of the family" Wang Xian tilted her head and whispered, watching Yi Shuihan stuff her carefully prepared food into her mouth, she felt extremely satisfied.

"I also cooked this green vegetable, but it's a little salty...... Wang Xian stuck out his tongue playfully, and then looked at Yi Shuihan expectantly, like a child who wants to be praised by his parents.

"Delicious. Yi Shuihan tasted it, her lips and teeth were fragrant, this eighteen-year-old girl already had very good cooking skills.

"That's great!" Wang Xian smiled so much that her eyes turned into an inverted crescent, and she gradually broke away from the immaturity of a girl, and she had already shown a beautiful posture that captivated the country and the city.

"If you like it, I'll make it for you next time!" she said happily, as if it were a very happy thing.

In fact, making such a serving of food is not so simple.

It is now early spring, the stream is cold, and small crabs and shrimps are also scarce, for the sake of a few small crabs in this box, she went down to the river early in the morning to touch for a long time, until her hands and feet were frozen and she refused to come up.

But she just wanted to, and she felt sincerely happy and satisfied to see Brother Akan eat the food he had carefully prepared one bite at a time, and to be able to get a word of praise from him.

In fact, at this time, Yi Shuihan can no longer see Wang Xian's friendship, then he is really a fool.

He has a good impression of Wang Xian. Sincere, spontaneous, generous, strong, beautiful...... It seems that many beautiful words can be related to this girl in the mountains.

It's just that...... Yi Shuihan was not completely prepared to face a relationship, and he was a little at a loss in the face of this sudden hot passion.

"Next time...... No need, right?" Yi Shuihan said with some hesitation, thinking that it was too hard to do this, and there was no need to toss it so much.

He had no intention of it, of course, but it was clear that the sentence hurt the heart of a hot, unhesitating girl.

"Yes...... Is that so?" Wang Xian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.

Also right...... Brother Akan, who has lived in the big city since he was a child, has nothing to eat.

It may have taken him all day to prepare the food, but it didn't seem so hard to swallow.

Wang Xian wanted to use a smile to tell him that she didn't care, but the sour emotions that kept hitting her made her eyes red unconsciously.

When Yi Shuihan turned his eyes to look at Wang Xian, he realized that his unintentional words had hurt the other party.

Seeing her sad but pretending to be indifferent, Yi Shuihan's heart trembled slightly.

At this time, he realized that the most beautiful thing about this woman was not the delicate and perfect cheeks, nor the figure of the thin waist of the willow, but her stubborn eyes when she trembled her eyelashes lightly and cried......

"If you don't find it troublesome, though...... I'd love to eat what you made......" Yi Shuihan couldn't help but speak.

He didn't know what kind of state of mind he was saying this, he just felt that he shouldn't make such a sincere girl sad.

Wang Xian looked at Yi Shuihan with his big watery and misty eyes and asked pitifully, "What you said is true?"

"Really. Yi Shuihan said with a smile, but after saying that sentence, he felt extremely relaxed.

"Okay, then it's decided!" Wang Xian cried with joy, and his expression with tears and a smile was quite beautiful.

"Crying and laughing, you're really childish!" Yi Shuihan said helplessly.

It's not so much childishness as recklessness without pretense.

Wang Xian was a little embarrassed, and a thin rosy pink halo spread from the roots of her ears, rendering a shy woman's face.

"I just like this!" Wang Xian hummed in response, although embarrassed.

After experiencing such a small thing, the relationship between the two seems to be one step closer.

Looking at her somewhat arrogant appearance, Yi Shuihan couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Yi Shuihan smiling gently, Wang Xian suddenly felt a little flustered, she snatched the lunch box that Yi Shuihan had already eaten, dropped the sentence 'I'm leaving' and fled in a hurry.

Looking at her back, Yi Shuihan stopped for a long time, and then sighed faintly.

Thank you for the company of your brothers and sisters in 2017, and I hope that we can still walk together in 2018~ Thank you!
