Chapter 20: Happy Winter Solstice

Sure enough, Yan Sheng found Lin Xiaomu at the small newspaper kiosk next to the park.

She carried a large backpack and looked as anxious as the people who sheltered from the rain under the pavilion together.

He slowly drove to the front, and when he was about to reach Lin Xiaomu's place, he pressed the car horn three times, imagining that Lin Xiaomu would see him after hearing it and run into his car obediently.

However, this stupid woman is indifferent and just looks at her phone!

The car had stopped next to the crowd where Lin Xiaomu was, three or four meters away, and Lin Xiaomu was obviously still busy chatting with someone on his phone.

His mood was like being burned by a lit torch, he rolled down the window glass next to him, and pressed the horn three times in a row, this action frightened the people around him, and everyone's eyes, including Lin Xiaomuqi, looked at the car in the direction of Yan Sheng.

Finally, the stupid woman came to see her!

"Get in the car. ”

When he saw that familiar and unfamiliar face, Lin Xiaomu was stunned for a while, not knowing what trick this turtle king bastard wanted to play.

"Get in the car. The tone of the man in the car became more and more impatient, and the rain did not seem to stop, but became more and more energetic.

"Little girl, your lover told you to get in the car, didn't you see it?" an aunt carrying a big bag of fruit next to her kindly reminded.

"No, Auntie, no. Lin Xiaomu hurriedly waved his hand to clear up the inexplicable relationship with Yan Sheng.

"Eh, what's the matter with you little girl, now it's raining so hard that someone is driving you back, and you don't want it!" The old man next to him probably couldn't see it, so he also said.

Lin Xiaomu was speechless, and a pair of eyes waiting to watch the play were looking at her interestingly, in order to relieve the boredom of the rain process.

In order to avoid causing public outrage, she had no choice but to rush in the direction of Yan Sheng's car with complicated feelings.

The heavy rain suddenly raged violently, and the wind swept the torrential rain like countless whips, and whipped it fiercely on the glass window of the car.

"Back to school?"

"Hmmm......"

In a trance, Lin Xiaomu felt like he was back in the car during the Qixi Festival for a moment.

She really couldn't understand what was going on with this man, meeting and pestering again and again, mixed with too many inexplicable and indescribable feelings.

She stared blankly ahead, the rain whipped on the ground, the rain splashed, and she was confused. All the cars drove very slowly because of the heavy rain, and the words "Happy Winter Solstice" flashed on the LED screen of the shopping plaza on the side of the road, and the passing crowd walked in a hurry, as if they were rushing home to enjoy the company of their loved ones.

Unconsciously, the fog in front of me became cloudy, and the sourness in my heart arose.

There was silence and awkwardness in the car.

In fact, he had a lot of doubts in his heart, and he wanted to explore them one by one from her mouth. Regarding her past, her present, it seems that in the dark, he is involved, and fate secretly involves the two of them together, without telling them what direction to go.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and fell into silence again.

Suddenly, a hurried bell rang, and seeing that it was Yang Xiaochang calling, Yan Sheng's eyebrows furrowed, and he said impatiently: "I know, you just let Cui Zhijian come forward to deal with it, just say that I asked him to do this." ”

Lin Xiaomu could hear that the tone on the other end of the phone was still anxious and worried, and he knew that Yan Sheng must have something very anxious to deal with.

After Yan Sheng hung up the phone, she asked cautiously: "Otherwise, you let me down first at the subway entrance in front, and I can go back by myself." With that, he prepared to unbuckle his seat belt.

"You sit down for me. ”

Lin Xiaomu was frightened by Yan Sheng's high decibel level, and then his heart became angry, really, this person is really inexplicable, who is this angry with, and it's not me who wants to take your car!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she picked up her backpack and said in the same decibels: "I want to get out of the car!"

Yan Sheng turned his head and glanced at Lin Xiaomu, and there was a stubborn color in his sharp eyes.

"I'm going to get out of the car!" Lin Xiaomu repeated again.

"Stinky woman, it's raining so hard outside, you're not afraid of death. ”

"It's none of your business if you're dead!"

Yan Sheng was completely enraged this time, stepped on the accelerator suddenly, the car turned a corner, and quickly sped away in another direction.

Lin Xiaomu was so shocked that he subconsciously grabbed the handrail on his head, and watched in amazement as the car deviated from the direction.

"Where are you going?"

Lin Xiaomu looked at the person next to her who had nothing to do with her with some fear, she has been out of H City for two years, she knows the security problems in big cities today, especially the young girls now, if she is alone outside, she will fall into the hands of lewd people.

At this time, Yan Sheng did not respond to her. His brows tightened, and a wave of anger rushed up from his ribs. He didn't know if his anger was because she didn't understand his kindness, or because he was angry that every time he met her, he always broke his principles again and again until he lost himself.

The torrential rain slowly slowed down and turned into a drizzling rain. The night is getting thicker, and the cold wind is biting, like a knife cutting.

The car finally stopped, but stopped in front of a western restaurant called "Manluo Xiaozhu". Lin Xiaomu's heart was like putting down a stone, and he was much more relaxed, at least the car didn't stop in any hotel or barren mountains and mountains.

"Get out of the car. Yan Sheng coldly dropped two words, unbuckled his seat belt, and prepared to get out of the car.

"Where is this, I'm going back to school. ”

"I haven't eaten yet. ”

"Then you can eat, and I'll go back myself. After that, Lin Xiaomu's face softened, secretly happy, and finally seized the opportunity to slip away.

"We eat together. ”

Lin Xiaomu was a little surprised, this man in front of me, am I very familiar with you, why should I eat with you?

Just when Lin Xiaomu was still figuring out what excuse to avoid eating with this person, she suddenly saw that there were several small restaurants next to the restaurant, so she was in a hurry, pointed to one of the Guilin rice noodles and said, "I'll just eat that myself." ”

Yan Sheng looked in the direction she was pointing, frowned slightly, turned around and said indifferently, "I never eat these things." ”

As he spoke, he helped Lin Xiaomu open the car door.

Lin Xiaomu only felt a brutal force pull her out of the car, and the man took her hand and walked in the direction of the western restaurant without saying anything.

"You let go, I'll go by myself. Lin Xiaomu was a little sensitive and wanted to break free from his strong hand.

Yan Sheng hesitated for a moment, what happened to him just now, why did he hold her hand?

He immediately put down his hand, looking embarrassed, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Hurry up, don't delay my time." ”

My time is also precious! Hmph, turtle bastard! Lin Xiaomu glared at his tall back and scolded secretly.

The two entered the restaurant one after the other, and a waiter saw them and politely greeted them to a window seat.

The ornate crystal lamps cast a faint light, making the whole restaurant appear elegant and serene. The soft saxophone music filled the entire restaurant, like an invisible smoke spreading, slowly occupying everyone's hearts, and Lin Xiaomu's heart gradually relieved of tension and uneasiness. The flowers placed in the corners of the walls of the Italian decoration exude a faint fragrance, neither strong nor demonic. Courteous waiters, quiet guests, whispering and laughing from time to time, the environment is warm and nice.

"Okay, that's all. Yan Sheng closed the recipe book and gave it back to the waiter.

"Okay, what about this young lady?"

"She?" Yan Sheng glanced at Lin Xiaomu, who had a restrained face, and then said, "Set B."

Although Lin Xiaomu was unhappy about his self-assertion, he couldn't say anything when he thought that people were at home at the moment.

The dishes were served one after another, and both of them ate silently and absentmindedly.

"Why did you quit your job at the Grapefruit Restaurant?" Yan Sheng broke the cold first.

Lin Xiaomu looked up at him, at this time, Yan Sheng's handsome face became soft under the orange light, and he seemed to be eating carelessly, but in fact, he seemed to be hiding himself deeply.

"No reason, there was a time when I had to take a long leave, and the manager over there said that I couldn't go for a long time, so I simply resigned. ”

For a while, Yan Sheng secretly pondered the time that made him a little tormented, which should be just the time of the long vacation she said.

The two chatted with each other, and Lin Xiaomu quickly finished eating, so that the food looked a little embarrassed, which made the man in front of him extremely dissatisfied.

"You've been in a Western restaurant, you should know how to eat. ”

"I've been out for a day, and I'm going to go back early. Lin Xiaomu didn't want to hide any dissatisfaction in his heart in front of this man.

Also, she is a child of a poor family living at the bottom of society, who knows how those ladies and ladies maintain their image on such occasions. Yan Sheng silently found a good reason for her behavior.

When Yan Sheng sent Lin Xiaomu to the school gate, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, there was little drizzle, and the breeze was blowing, still mixed with a trace of cold.

When Lin Xiaomu was about to get out of the car, he heard a faint sentence from the man next to him: "Happy winter solstice." She was stunned for a moment, so much so that there was still one foot parked in the car halfway through the door.

Happy winter solstice?This day seems to have been with him, a stranger, is the winter solstice happy?

On early winter nights, the campus is unusually peaceful.

Lin Xiaomu walked alone on the tree-lined path, the camellia and the moon on the side of the road wafted with a faint fragrance, and the one-armed street lamps on both sides stretched her shadow long.

There is a faint melancholy constantly lingering in her heart, she is very homesick, she wants to be like everyone else to go home for the winter, unscrupulously enjoy the warmth of her relatives; she is also very worried about the days of studying and living in school in the future, all the expenses have to rely on herself, how long can she last; she is very puzzled, some of her indescribable feelings seem to secretly open a ripple in the bottom of her heart; as a child who came out of the mountains, she has always been very sensitive and inferior.
