On December 25th, Christmas, there was light snow in the sky.

If you look at it, it is not difficult to see that it always snows at Christmas every year.

Is it because of Christmas, or is it because of the snow that it is Christmas, or is it only when it snows that the old man in the sleigh can ride down the snow?

Xia Xin didn't know.

He couldn't fulfill the girl's wishes like other parents, he didn't know what Summer Night wanted.

He could only carefully treasure the small pieces of paper with the beautiful handwriting of the summer night as his Christmas gift.

Of course, a small gift was also prepared for the summer night.

on the bed.

Xia Xin carefully removed the little hand on his body, got up and opened the curtain to see that the outside was already covered in silver, which was beautiful.

Xia Xin secretly prayed that Shu Yuewu's mood could be so beautiful today, and prayed that the gift would satisfy her.

Even if it's Christmas, Xia Xin actually wants to stay at home and rank well.

However, a certain freckles senior sister was very responsible, and actually called in person.

Although he filled out the application form, Xia Xin didn't really want to go, but after the other party said the place he requested, Xia Xin thought about it and decided to go, after all, he often passed with night in the past.

The agreed time is three o'clock in the afternoon.

At the school gate, wait for the school bus.

After seeing the total number of people, Xia Xin knew why the senior sister had specially called herself, this person could not be less, counting the freckles senior sister, a total of 6 people.

Xia Xin was quite surprised that he could actually see Leng Xue Tong here.

Leng Xuetong obviously looked at Xia Xin with some surprise, her pearl-like and smooth eyes had a moment of doubt, and then she was relieved, her beautiful and arrogant little face still had a cold and arrogant expression like ice and snow, and she stood on the other side with her hands folded.

Leng Xuetong was wearing a blue and white cotton wool jacket, with a plush knitted sweater wrapped around her slender and delicate body, which looked quite warm, and she was wearing warm pants and snow-white snowshoes underneath.

Then there was a short-haired girl and a long-haired girl, the two seemed to be friends, and they kept whispering, and finally there was a face that Xia Xin felt a little familiar.

A burly figure with a square face.

Xia Xin recalled in his mind for 10 minutes, and finally remembered.

This square and upright, thick eyebrows and big eyes of the national character face, isn't it the vice president of the Taekwondo Club.

I remember Leng Xuetong to, "I like boys, you like girls, we can't get along" rejected him, I don't know if he was bent by Leng Xuetong, now if the interests are the same, anyway, I gathered around Leng Xuetong and asked for warmth.

"Snow Hitomi, what a coincidence, it turns out that you are here too."

"I can't imagine that we really have a heart, there are 25,000 people in the school, we can all get together, think about it, this is a 1 in 10,000 probability."

"It feels like there's a red line in the dark......"

Leng Xuetong's cold voice interrupted him, "When I applied, didn't you just pass by and see it", one sentence directly strangled the bunch of affectionate confession words prepared by the vice president behind him, and let the vice president say no, don't say it, no.

Xia Xin held back his laughter and almost choked back his internal injuries.

After a few people arrived on the school bus, they had to carry a few boxes and walk for ten minutes on a muddy road to reach their destination.

Along the way, the freckled senior sister was explaining to several people, the benefits of volunteering, giving love, what benefits the society, warms people's hearts, improves character, and sublimates the soul, and it is almost impossible to say that she has ascended to heaven.

Xia Xin felt that the reason why she was so positive should be that she was afraid that people would run away halfway, so she gave some encouragement in advance, and the heart of the stable army knew how unpleasant this activity was just by looking at the number of participants.

Along the way, the other two long-haired girls and short-haired girls got together and whispered, the burly vice president accompanied Leng Xuetong, and the freckled senior sister was talking in front, but Xia Xin was alone.

Finally came to the destination, it was an orphanage with red bricks and green tiles,

The name is the Children's Welfare Institute, located next to the Catholic Church, it looks a little old, the skin of the walls is a little peeling, and the welfare facilities in the yard, skateboards, swings, etc. are a little rusty, and it looks quite depressed.

Immediately, a woman in her forties and fifties who looked like the dean came out and chatted with the freckles senior.

Then several people carried the boxes they were carrying into the hall, which were filled with some toys, clothes, stationery and other things donated to the children.

It is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are not many orphans sent here, only more than 10, and there are naturally not many volunteers who come here.

Then the teacher from the welfare home came with more than a dozen children, ranging from 6 to 13 years old, lined up in a neat line, blinking their pitiful eyes and waiting for the gifts to be distributed.

Xia Xin noticed that in the middle of the team, there was a little girl in red clothes who was walking in front and about the same height as Xia Ye, but she was pushed down by a chubby boy and pushed to the ground, but the girl didn't say anything, got up, patted her buttocks, and silently lined up at the end of the line.

It's not the first time Xia Xin has come to the orphanage, he often brings summer nights to the orphanage to do volunteers, he knows the children here very well, and various situations.

Most of the children here are abandoned by their parents, or have birth defects, they are far more mature and scheming than ordinary children, like the children of the poor who are in charge of the house, they will pretend to be pitiful and ask for more gifts, and they will also fight and grab gifts when no one is around.

The weak seek solace from the weaker.

Unfortunate people make others more unhappy and feel happy.

More than warmth, this place is full of coldness, cruelty, disease, hypocrisy and darkness.

And being in the front row, there is a better chance of getting a good gift, so the girl was pushed away.

Then the freckles are assigned tasks, and several girls are responsible for distributing gifts to the orphans, and then chatting, singing, and playing games with the children, while the boys are responsible for going out to sweep the yard or carry some heavy objects and other manual work.

Xia Xin didn't say anything, and went out to sweep the yard with the vice president, and the ground was full of snow and fallen leaves.

The vice president obviously knew Xia Xin, and his eyes were very unfriendly when he saw Xia Xin, and he couldn't wait to have a real PK, but he couldn't bear to say anything.

But after sweeping the yard for more than ten minutes, he couldn't stand it, he didn't come to sweep the floor, he came to get close to Leng Xue Pupil, he couldn't waste time here, this was a rare opportunity to get close to Leng Xue Pupil.

The vice president stiffened with a smile on his face, came over and patted Xia Xin on the shoulder and said, "This classmate, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go in and see, what strength may there be, I need it, they girls can't move, as for you, forget about this thin arm and thin legs, I think this sweeping is very suitable for you, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Xia Xin to agree, so he put the broom in his hand on Xia Xin's hand and hurried back to the back room.

Moreover, although it is not snowing, as the sun sets in the evening and the cold snap invades, it is relatively remote and cold, and there is no warm effect of car exhaust, so the outside is much colder than the inner room, and you can see the heat from people's mouths, and the hands without gloves feel like they are about to freeze.

Xia Xin's eyes swept down the huge yard, feeling that it was a huge project, not something that could be completed in a while, but he didn't care too much, he was originally here to volunteer.

Xia Xincai swept the ground, and found a lonely red figure walking out of the room, step by step to the swing, sitting on the swing, holding the rope with his little hand, swaying gently, looking at the ground with a distracted expression.

I could vaguely hear the neat singing coming from the back room.

Xia Xin swept step by step, came to the back of the girl, and recognized that this was the girl in red who had just been pushed down, wearing a shabby cotton dress.

Xia Xin swept the ground and asked casually, "Do you want to eat sugar?" ”

The girl was stunned at first, then glanced at Xia Xin vigilantly and did not speak.

Xia Xin took out a chocolate-flavored lollipop from his pocket and handed it over, but the girl looked at the candy and didn't take it.

Xia Xin smiled, "If you don't like to eat, just throw it for me, I don't like to eat candy either." ”

The girl hesitated, took it, and it would be a pity to throw it away, and her immature little hands clumsily peeled off the sugar.

Xia Xin noticed that the girl's little hands, which were supposed to be delicate and cute, were a little red and swollen, which should have been chilblains.

The girl timidly asked, "Why are you the only one sweeping the floor here?" ”

Xia Xin smiled, "It's the same as you." ”

This short sentence shortened the distance between the two and made the girl feel a lot closer to Xia Xin.

No matter where it is, there is always someone who plays the role of unsociable, plays the object of bullying, and is even ostracized by everyone, because a team needs such an "alternative" enemy, a common enemy of everyone, to unite everyone, and by the way, let everyone vent, find happiness, and even find happiness from her who is more unfortunate than herself.

This girl is obviously an "alternative" who was ostracized and bullied by the team.

The girl in red took a sip of candy, and after a long time, she took out a lollipop, stared at Xia Xin with bright eyes and asked, "Will it be like this when you grow up?" ”

The eyes of the girl in red appear quiet, longing and lonely, with a mature and intelligent light far beyond her peers.

Xia Xin felt that he couldn't coax such a pair of eyes.

replied calmly and cruelly, "It's the same everywhere, if you hold the idea that as long as you endure it for a while, wait a few years, and it will be fine when you grow up, forget it." ”

“……”

The girl seemed to have this expectation, accepted it calmly with her eyes, and said, "That's right, you're so old", and continued to sip the lollipop after speaking.

Xia Xin also swept the floor and didn't speak.

After a while, the girl seemed to say to herself, "The priest next door said that people should be happy, but I am so miserable, do you say that life is always so painful,...... Or is it only when I was a child? ”

Xia Xin paused and said, "...... It's always like this. ”

He never imagined that he would talk about life with a girl younger than Summer Night.

The girl stopped talking, and looked at the ground with a lonely face, and a light called hope in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Xia Xin sighed lightly and asked, "Did the priest tell you about the Bible?" ”

"Well, I did."

"That's right, do you know why people are suffering? The Bible says that when God created man, He gave happiness to all people equally, but at that time boys and girls were united, but when we came into the world, we were separated, so we felt miserable because we lost the other half of our happiness. ”

"Then we will look and search, and one day, the boy will find the girl who was originally connected to you, and the girl will find the boy who was originally connected to you, and when you are reunited, your pain will disappear and you will feel happy again."

The girl was stunned, her eyes sparkled and she looked at Xia Xin, her eyes were full of hope and asked, "You mean, someone is looking for me?" ”

Xia Xin smiled, "Yes, he's looking for you, of course, you can also go to him." ”

"But I don't know who he is?"

"It's okay, you'll know the first time you see him, because you're connected."

"Really?"

"Really."

Suddenly, the girl's eyes narrowed, and a happy smile of satisfaction appeared on her little face, as if as long as she thought about her happiness in the future, thinking that someone was looking for her, the pain in front of her now was nothing at all.

Xia Xin smiled on his face, but sighed in his heart, I lied again, and I guess I can only go to hell after I die.

Suddenly, a light cough sounded next to him.

As soon as Xia Xin turned around, he found that Leng Xuetong was already standing behind him at some point, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

"You know how to cook, right?" Leng Xue asked.
