Chapter 41: Friends

When Lin Wenxuan returned home with Xi Xi and Xi Ze, it was already completely dark.

Regardless of whether the sister and brother had dinner or not, Lin Wenxuan, as the host, took it upon herself to order takeout from her mobile phone.

Anyway, she didn't eat much today, and she wanted to go to the bar to spend time, but she was troubled by this sudden event, and she didn't have time to eat the things she ordered, and her stomach was empty, and she always had to find something to eat to fill her appetite.

Lin Wenxuan knew that if she asked Xi Xi, she would definitely say that she had eaten it.

Regardless of whether she has eaten it or not, she ordered it anyway, and when the time comes, she will send it and eat it together if she doesn't eat it. Not only took into account the face of both parties, but Lin Wenxuan also achieved the warmth and hospitality that the host should have, killing two birds with one stone.

When Xi Ze arrived here, it was like letting go of the nature of a child, and the black pupils flashed with star-like light.

He ran around the living room, looking left and right, as if curious about everything here. His eyes fell on the simple handicrafts placed on the TV stand, and then on the bookshelf next to the TV stand, and he reached out to take off the puppy plush toy on it.

"Ozawa, how did my sister teach you? Don't mess with other people's things, you know?"

Xi Xi is not like Xi Ze, after all, she has grown up. Although when she first entered the door, her eyes were also bright, and she was full of curiosity and yearning for the decoration and furnishings of Lin Wenxuan's home, but she would never be as obvious as Xi Ze.

When Xi Xi scolded his younger brother, Lin Wenxuan happened to come out of the bedroom with a medicine kit.

Seeing Xi Ze, who was a little lost in his retracted hand, Lin Wenxuan smiled, put the medicine box on the coffee table, turned around and took down the toy puppy on the shelf, and handed it to Xi Ze with a smile.

"Children are like this, they want to see everything they like, it's okay, I don't mind. Do you like this toy? If you like it, my sister will give it to you as a gift for our acquaintance, okay?"

Xi Ze looked at Lin Wenxuan, nodded excitedly, and just wanted to stretch out his hand, but shook his head again.

He cautiously turned his inquiring gaze to Xi Xi, who was sitting on the side, as if he was very worried that his actions would annoy his sister, and wanted to accept this gift in his heart, but he didn't dare to accept it.

Xi Xi looked at Lin Wenxuan and nodded to Xi Ze with a smile.

Although she still felt a little unfamiliar with the girl in front of her, and she didn't even know her, but walking all the way back from the bar, she could clearly feel Lin Wenxuan's sincerity, and even more so her gentle and kind light.

People have already helped them so much, and now it is also a good intention to give toys to Xi Ze.

No matter how stubborn and strong Xi Xi is, he will not make Lin Wenxuan unable to come to the stage at such a time, not to mention that it will make Xi Ze sad.

Xi Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, he happily took the toy in Lin Wenxuan's hand, and his voice was crisp: "Thank you, big sister!"

Lin Wenxuan smiled, reached out and turned on the light in the bedroom, took Xi Ze's hand, took him to the bedroom door, and pointed to the floor on the other side of the bed. There were a handful of stuffed animals stacked there, small in number, but enough to keep the kid excited for a long time.

"Then why don't you go over there first?"

"Good!"

Xu is the first time to see so many fun toys, Xi Ze was very excited, ran in and carefully hugged this and touched that, the excited little face flushed, showing an innocent smile that belongs to his age.

Lin Wenxuan smiled, left the bedroom door open, and walked directly to Xi Xi's side.

Turning out the appropriate ointment from the medicine box, Lin Wenxuan looked at the injuries on Xi Xi's face and body, frowned, and began to help her wounds with medicine very attentively, with very light movements, as if immersed in it.

"Thank you so much today, what's your name?" asked Xi Xi, breaking the silence in the living room.

Xi Xi is the kind of girl with a lively and cheerful personality, and she is not used to being quiet. Since Lin Wenxuan didn't speak, she started first, trying to know more about the person in front of her who had given her a lot of help.

Lin Wenxuan smiled: "Don't be so polite to me, I'm also pulling out a knife to help when I see injustice! My name is Lin Wenxuan, I'm glad to meet you, what's your name? Is the little boy in the house your own brother?"

Xi Xi nodded, "My name is Xi Xi, and I'm glad to meet you." The one in the house is my own brother, his name is Xi Ze, and he is six years old this year. ”

"Six-year-old, it's time to go to elementary school, right? How old are you two siblings? I think you're about the same age as me, twenty-five?"

"I'm just 25 years old. ”

"Coincidentally, so do I! It seems that we are the same age! Where do you and your brother live? Have you always been singing in the bar? I rarely go to the Blue Charm Bar, do you often encounter dangerous things like today?"

Once the chatterbox is opened, it can't be contained, and a series of questions pop up directly.

Xi Xi paused and said softly: "My brother and I live not too far from your house, cross two roads, turn right, Bijiang Community." My brother and I live on each other, relying on my salary to rent a small house, which is not too bad. I didn't have a high degree of education, and I didn't continue to study after junior high school, because I like to sing, so I have been singing in bars, and I can earn more money to support my younger brother. ”

Listening to Xi Xi's words, Lin Wenxuan was distracted for a moment.

Even though she already knew that the life of the sister and brother was unsatisfactory, she never thought that they were living in this big city depending on each other. Xi Ze is so young, seeing that he is facing the problem of going to school and studying again, the two of them have to eat and live, and they all rely on the few wages that Xi Xi earns by singing in the station, which is really difficult.

"Have you ever thought about changing jobs? I'm not saying that your current job is bad, it's just that it's too dangerous. You see, just like today, those people are so fierce, you can't run away, and your brother will worry about you. ”

"Today's events are not accidental, but inevitable. They weren't here for the bar, and they didn't really hurt the waiters and the guests at the bar, they came for me. ”

"Looking for you, why?" Lin Wenxuan's eyes widened in surprise.

Xi Xi's first impression of her was different from other girls, although they all sang in bars, but the feeling that Xi Xi brought to her was always very pure and kind, how could those who looked like hooligans and ruffians come to her?

Xi Xi smiled: "You must not believe it, right? In order to rent this house for a long time, and for me and my brother to make ends meet, I borrowed a lot of money from them outside. They collect usury, and I can't afford to pay it back, and I've been in arrears, so they come to make trouble. ”

"Debts, but no matter what, it's their fault that they beat people!"

Lin Wenxuan was very shocked in her heart, she really couldn't imagine that Xi Xi, who was as big as her, would owe so many debts.

For a while, she didn't know what to say to comfort Xi Xi, and after thinking about it, she could only come up with such a sentence, which made Xi Xi and her laugh together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Unconsciously immersed in such an atmosphere, Xi Xi realized that she had already talked a lot to Lin Wenxuan.

I don't know why, she felt that Lin Wenxuan was like a familiar old friend, so she unconsciously said what was in her heart, and she didn't even shy away from revealing her scars in front of Lin Wenxuan.

How nice it would be if she had such a friend!

Xi Xi laughed enough, and asked softly, "What about you? Why did you go to the bar to drink today? I told you so many stories about me, shouldn't you also tell yourself?"

"Don't mention it, it's all sad! I am an advertising designer, and I found a job as soon as I graduated from university, and I love this job from the bottom of my heart. It's been good all along, but I don't know why, but it's suddenly become bad lately. Maybe someone in the company looked at me unpleasantly, and they made trouble for me again and again, and the leader was furious, and from today, he suspended me for a month. ”

"Suspension, is it so serious?"

Listening to Lin Wenxuan's brief account of her experience, Xi Xi felt more touched in her heart.

The two became familiar with each other as they spoke, and even let go of themselves a little bit, and many things that were hidden in their hearts and didn't want to say to others were said in front of each other very naturally.

It's a strange feeling, they seem to have known each other for a long time, but they haven't seen each other for many years.

Lin Wenxuan had just given Xi Xi good medicine, put the medicine box away, and just wanted to chat with Xi Xi a few more words, the doorbell at home rang.

Xi Xi frowned, "You have guests tonight?" Then Xiao Ze and I won't bother you." ”

Saying that, Xi Xi got up and was about to go to the bedroom to catch Xi Ze, who was lingering, and didn't want to disturb Lin Wenxuan's entertaining friends or guests.

"No, no, I ordered takeout here! You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I ordered two big pizzas and some snacks, so you can stay and eat together!"

Lin Wenxuan opened the door, took the pizza from the delivery man's hand, turned her head and smiled at Xi Xi.

was reminded by Lin Wenxuan like this, Xi Xi remembered that he really hadn't eaten. It's this time, and her stomach does feel a little hungry.

But it's not okay to stay like this......

Xu saw Xi Xi's concerns, Lin Wenxuan stepped forward, pulled Xi Xi to sit down, and said with a smile: "Don't hesitate, just stay and accompany me, okay? You see that I am alone at home, and I eat by myself, how lonely it is!"

Xi Xi knew that Lin Wenxuan was looking for her to go down the stairs, so she naturally nodded and smiled gratefully at Lin Wenxuan.

Lin Wenxuan put the pizza on the coffee table, planning to go to the bedroom to call Xi Ze out. As a result, before she could walk over, Xi Ze was holding the toy puppy tightly in his arms and had already run out of the bedroom quickly.

"It's delicious!

Xi Ze was so excited, he ran out smelling the aroma, and when he saw the pizza on the coffee table, his eyes lit up instantly.

How many times, Xi Xi took his hand and passed in front of the pizza shop, and the aroma was fragrant. But Xi Ze knew that they had no money and no such good conditions for him to go in and buy a pizza, so he never asked for it, and he was always very well-behaved.

But don't, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to eat.

Children are like this, full of curiosity about everything around them. Xi Ze has always wanted to taste the taste of pizza, but he has always suppressed this idea in his heart, and today he can't see it, and the excitement is indescribable.

Lin Wenxuan smiled and took the toy in his hand, "Little gluttonous cat!

Seeing Xi Ze so excited, Xi Xi smiled.

The three of them sat around the small coffee table, watching TV and eating pizza at the same time, not to mention how happy it was.

What Lin Wenxuan didn't know was that today's dinner was so ordinary for her, such an ordinary hospitality, so that Xi Xi and Xi Ze felt the warmth of the family for the first time.
