10. Wish Stone
"Silly boy, what are you talking about? We also know that you are worried about Xiaowei," Mother Lin reached out and touched Lin Lin's head, "In the past few days, your father and I have searched all the places we can find, and we can see through people's hearts." I don't want to say anything more, my mother understands one thing, after all, it's the four closest to our family! ”
"Am I the dearest?" Lin Lin's voice was a little choked, she always felt that she was someone else in this family, her parents, and her younger brother were the real family, and she was the one who was the most redundant.
"Of course, Xiao Lin, what are you thinking?" Father Lin sighed, "Actually, the day before Xiaowei disappeared, I discussed with your mother all night, and I was going to let you learn painting after high school. In the past few days, Xiaowei's affairs have also made us reflect on whether we are usually too strict with you and make you feel unbalanced. ”
Lin Lin was stunned and speechless, but her father actually changed his preconceived notions and agreed to let her learn to paint?
"Xiao Lin, we admit that we have a patriarchal mentality, and we usually unconsciously favor your brother, but it doesn't mean that we don't care about you," Lin Mu said, tears falling down, "We love your brother a little more not just because he is a boy, but because he fell ill due to our negligence when he was a child, and he is still often sick, and his parents feel ashamed of him and want to try their best to compensate him." ”
It turned out that Lin Wei was usually sick all the time, because he fell ill when he was a child. Lin Lin felt ashamed again, as his sister, she didn't know at all.
In fact, Father Lin's mother was strict with her only in her studies, and they also did this with their own future in mind, unlike the aunt who was asked to work by her grandparents before graduating from elementary school, that is the real sadness!
Lin Lin found that her previous self was too sensitive, as long as the balance in her parents' hearts was slightly tilted towards Lin Wei, she would be infinitely magnified. Even if it is a close relative, it is impossible for people's hearts to be completely balanced, but how to look at this balance is another matter.
"Okay, the police station is about to get off work, your mother and I have to go to see it again, you just stay at home and study hard, let's do what you want to do with Xiaowei." Father Lin got up, picked up Mother Lin and walked out the door.
Lin Lin looked at the haggard back of her parents, her nose was sore, and a crystal teardrop suddenly fell from her eyes, which damply swept across her cheeks and fell into the small flower pot in her hand.
The jade-like red leaves seemed to be full of something, a halo sparkled, stretched out and grew vigorously, the red leaves gradually showed clear veins, a slight tremble, it was like a burning flame, gently falling to her palm.
Lin Lin was stunned for a second, and then she was ecstatic, the wish stone was ripe, and she could make a wish for Lin Wei to come back!
Lin Lin didn't care about the small flower pot, ran to the room with the leaves, picked up a brush and wrote, "I hope my brother comes back." After thinking about it, he added, "You have to come back safely, and you have a lot of hair." ”
When Lin Lin held the leaves in her palm, even her heart trembled, on the one hand, she was excited, and on the other hand, she was worried that her wish would not come true.
After five or six minutes, when Lin Lin was sitting in the room, he suddenly heard an "oops" sound from Lin Wei's room. It's Lin Wei's voice!
Lin Lin immediately rushed over to open the door of his room, and sure enough, he saw Lin Wei sitting on the bed with blank eyes.
"Great, Lin Wei, you're finally back!" Lin Lin was so excited that she forgot to turn on the light, and ran directly over to hug him warmly.
"By the way, how did you get back? That trafficker didn't do anything to you, did he? ”
Jingxiang hid in the dark of the room, and was about to leave through the wall, when she heard Lin Lin say this, she almost knocked her head in her footsteps, Hey girl, have you ever seen someone trafficker look so beautiful?
"Ah, it's you, why are you at my house?" Lin Lin heard the movement and was surprised to find Jingxiang, "Sister, did you kidnap my brother?" ”
Jing Xiang rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache, simply reached out to turn on the light, sat down and talked to her, "First, I'm not a human trafficker, and second, it's not a kidnapping if I take your brother away for a while." ”
"But sister, why did you do that?" Lin Lin looked at her strangely, feeling a little sulky, she and her parents were worried about this for the past few days.
Jing Xiang avoided her gaze, circled a strand of hair with her slender fingers, and said casually, "Do you remember the second wish?" ”
"Remember ・・・・・・"
"Symbolizing the clarity, purity, serenity and freedom of the ocean and the blue sky, blue tourmaline has a calm and sane quality that corresponds precisely to the rubellite, which is believed to symbolize balance. At that time, because of the great imbalance in your heart, you made an 'evil' wish, and the blue tourmaline naturally will not help you realize it. But if the wish cannot be fulfilled, it will cause you great harm, and the black vein is the precursor. So I'll be nosy, take your brother back, let him disappear for a while, and test your heart. ”
Jingxiang glanced at Lin Lin intentionally or unintentionally, thinking in her heart, she is really a good and conscientious shopkeeper, and this after-sales service can't be too good!
"So you know it all." Lin Lin lowered her head, not daring to look at them.
"There's nothing I don't know," Kagami pursed her lips triumphantly, suddenly thinking of something, and the words paused, "Except for one thing, of course." ”
"Sister, what would happen if I didn't make a wish for my brother to come back?"
"There is no if in the world, since you are destined to walk into my shop, and I dare to hand over the wish stone to you, it is doomed that there will be no if." Jingxiang raised her chin, and her brown eyes were like glass, beautiful and conceited.
"Sister, this big sister is good to me, she has a lot of fun at home, and there are a lot of interesting things!" Lin Wei hugged Lin Lin's neck and said excitedly, "I'll take you with me next time." ”
Lin Lin patted him on the shoulder, and there was a sour feeling in his heart.
When Jingxiang heard Lin Wei say this, the black line couldn't help but slide down her forehead, don't, don't! These two sisters and brothers have a temper, and the bear is terrible, so they come to her store together, and they have to tear down the store!
Jingxiang got up, stretched out her slender and white hand and spread it out in front of Lin Lin, and there was a blood-red fluorescent tourmaline lying in her palm, "Rubellite energy is enthusiastic and unrestrained, cheerful and refreshing, eliminating indifferent quirks and exuding personal charm." However, this one is ordinary and does not have a wishing function. Do you want it for you? ”
"Of course, thank you, sister!" Lin Lin happily took the tourmaline and admired it with Lin Wei, and the two bear children didn't notice that Jingxiang's figure was hidden and disappeared into the wall.
As soon as Kagami returned to the store, she received an international call before she could take a step.
"Hey, Parker?"
"Miss Kagami, I'm in some trouble here, can you come here?" Parker's affection has never been reflected in words, but at this time he has a sense of anxiety.
Jingxiang didn't ask much, and then agreed, "Okay, I'll probably be there the night after tomorrow." ”
Hanging up the phone, Jingxiang immediately booked a ticket to Hungary the day after tomorrow, although she can teleport by her own strength, but it is not a critical moment of life and death, she still prefers to rely on modern technology.
Why waste her energy when money can do it?
Parker is her agent in Hungary, helping her collect exotic goods and contacting customers, and in addition to that, he has a special identity - a werewolf who has lived for more than a hundred years!
So, there's only one race left that can make Parker so flustered, right?
Here, Lin's father and mother came back from the police station disappointed, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw their daughter and son watching TV in the living room.
"Xiaowei?" Father Lin and Mother Lin were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, touched their son's arm in disbelief, and after finding that it was intact, they couldn't help but shed tears, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, our family will be good in the future, better than anything else!" ”
In the living room, a family of four embraced each other, and despite the tears, their hearts were sweetly touched, and there was nothing more worthy of joy than being lost and regained.
After this incident, Lin Lin got rid of the imbalance in her heart, cherished the relationship with her family even more, she no longer complained about her parents and younger brother, but devoted herself to studying. Her grades have improved by leaps and bounds, shocking a group of classmates, and even the math teacher's attitude towards her has improved a lot, after all, people have pulled up the class grades, and she has received more bonuses, why don't you like others?
After Lin Lin was admitted to a good high school, she enrolled in the art student class as she wished, with her talent and love for painting, she stood out among a bunch of art students, and was admitted to the most famous art university in China in advance in her third year of high school. In the four years of college, she did not relax like others, but studied more seriously and improved her skills, although there were some ups and downs, but she still started her career as a painter step by step.
Many years later, in the brightly lit studio, the host with a bow tie spoke authentic French and asked, "Miss Lin Lin, as the youngest winner of the Neo-Impressionist Award, can you tell us about the inspiration for your award-winning work?" ”
On the large LCD screen, Lin Lin's latest award-winning works are projected. It is a painting with black and gold as the background, obviously belonging to different series of tones, but generating a new harmony in a strong visual impact. It inherits the usual crude technique of the Neo-Impressionists, but it can be vaguely seen that in the dark is a tall and good-looking woman, and the bright golden light is a strangely shaped plant.
Lin Lin glanced at her work, rubbed the blood-red tourmaline on the ring, smiled slightly, and replied in fluent French: "Actually, this is a story about a girl who walks out of the whirlpool in her heart. ”
