Chapter 13: Snow
By the time we finished eating, it was already nine o'clock.
Lin Qing patted his obviously big little belly, satisfied, and was ready to get up and go home.
"Xiaoqing, hasn't my mother come back yet?" In the kitchen, Xu's mother poked her head out and asked.
"If mom hasn't come back yet, stay and wait for your mom to come back and then come home, right?" Father Xu also poked his head out of the kitchen.
"Huh?" Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was to refuse: "This... No, I can do it at home. ”
Mother Xu wiped her hands, took a plate of fruit and walked to the sofa and sat down, handed Lin Qing an apple, and looked worried: "No, how can you let a little girl stay at home by herself, how dangerous." ”
After that, without waiting for Lin Qing's reaction, Xu's mother leaned back and asked the soul of Xu's father in the kitchen: "Right, his father?" ”
"Of course." Dad Xu is categorical.
Xu's mother turned to Xu Ping'an, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa reading a book: "Ping'an, what do you say?" ”
Xu Ping'an raised his head, glanced at Lin Qing, and replied succinctly: "Hmm." ”
Mother Xu, who received an affirmative answer, blinked her eyes, and her expression seemed to be saying that the minority obeys the majority, surrender, little girl.
The corners of Lin Qing's mouth twitched, and she didn't need to look at it to know that Xu Ping'an would not save her, so she had to respond in embarrassment.
"Otherwise, you two will do your homework together later." Xu's mother added another note.
"Uh..."Today is Friday, there is no need to go to class on the weekend, according to Lin Qing's temperament, it will definitely be delayed until the last night of Sunday.
I didn't expect it, are you going to write it out tonight? But now it's going to happen... I can't say anything about refusal.
-------------------------------------
"Xu Ping'an, which one are you going to write first?"
Lin Qing resigned himself to opening the door and taking out his schoolbag and sitting on Xu Ping'an's desk.
"I'm done." Xu Ping'an sat on the bed, the book in his hand was turned another page, and his tone was as calm as discussing what to eat today.
"Huh?! Are you done writing? Lin Qing was shocked, "When did you write it?" ”
"I wrote it during class." Xu Ping'an turned another page.
Okay, you scholars are willful. Lin Qing complained in her heart, pulled out the math paper, and decided to start with the difficult ones first.
Three minutes later..."Mr. Xu, can you lend me your math papers?" ”
Lin Qing looked at Xu Ping'an on the side of the bed, as long as the big guy said a word, the leg pendant would be arranged at any time.
Xu Ping'an closed the book with a "snap", looked down at Lin Qing, the pug, squinted and smiled, and teased: "No, but I can teach you." ”
Lin Qing's eyes were rolling around, and he instantly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and agreed. Whatever it is, as long as you don't use your brain.
Xu Ping'an moved a stool and sat on Lin Qing's left, supporting his head with his left hand, and picking up the pen with his right hand: "Which question won't be?" ”
Lin Qing pointed, "This, this, and this." ”
Peeking to the side while pointing, Xu Ping'an did not show impatience in so many questions, and still looked faint. I saw him sit up straight, pull the scroll slightly to his side, and pull out a book from the shelf.
Opening the notebook, which was neatly and densely covered with formulas, Lin Qing asked in a low voice, "Is this your notebook?" ”
"No, it's a draft book." Xu Ping'an turned a new page, picked up the pen and looked sideways at Lin Qing, "Then let's start with the first question." ”
"Uh-huh." Lin Qing also sat down solemnly and listened carefully.
"So that's it... And then substitute it into the formula..."Xu Ping'an spoke very carefully, and stopped from time to time to ask Lin Qing if he understood.
"Do you understand?" Xu Ping'an turned his head to look at Lin Qing, and after waiting for a minute, Lin Qing didn't react, Xu Ping'an squinted: "Are you in a daze, classmate Lin?" ”
That's right, Lin Qing is in a daze, Xu Ping'an's room has a warm floral fragrance, warm and warm after eating, coupled with Xu Ping'an's beautiful voice next to him, these are undoubtedly the best hypnotics.
Lin Qing's head had become groggy at this time, and he was suddenly frightened by Xu Ping'an's question, so he quickly picked up the pen and said in a panicked tone.
"Ah, I understand, so choose B for this question, choose B, right..."Lin Qing picked up the pen and was about to write on the volume, but the table was too small, Lin Qing leaned forward like this, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell straight to the left.
Xu Ping'an obviously didn't expect Lin Qing to come back with such a move, and reacted very quickly and stretched out his hand to catch the large silkworm chrysalis that fell to this side.
"Uh..." Realizing that he had fallen into Xu Ping'an's arms, Lin Qing's face turned red with a "boom", hot air rushed out of his ears, and the whole person was like a small steam train speeding by.
"That's not right." Xu Ping'an still maintained the posture of surrounding Lin Qing, very calm.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qing was stunned.
"It's not B." Xu Ping'an squinted.
"Okay, okay, let me get up first." Lin Qing struggled to sit up from Xu Ping'an's arms, and in a panic, he accidentally put his right hand on Xu Ping'an's thigh. "Ah, I didn't mean to." Lin Qing hurriedly raised his hands to show his innocence.
"Hey, you!" In the next second, Lin Qing saw Xu Ping'an's eyes wide open, and his body leaned forward to grab a handful of Lin Qing.
It's a pity that Lin Qing was not so lucky this time, lying straight at Xu Ping'an's feet with a straight face.
"I... I'm okay hahaha" Lin Qing raised his head and covered his red nose that was hit, and smiled dryly to relieve the embarrassment.
Xu Ping'an sat on the stool and looked down at her, looking surprised, at this time Xu Ping'an was carrying the light, and the light shone from behind him, which made him seem to be plated with a layer of aperture.
Laboriously getting up, Lin Qing did a good job, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay, you didn't see anything, how to do this question." ”
Fortunately, Xu Ping'an is not a person who can be sarcastic and grasp like Zhang Yi, Lin Qing wiped a sweat in his heart, Xu Ping'an should not laugh at her if he is a gentle person.
Well, it should.
"What, why do you keep laughing??" When Xu Ping'an couldn't hold back his laughter for the third time, Lin Qing finally couldn't help but run away.
Hearing this, Xu Ping'an simply denied it, and apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, your red nose is so cute." ”
Lin Qing knew that in this context, "cute" was basically equivalent to "mentally retarded", and of course she would not take it as a compliment to her.
Glancing sideways at the young man who couldn't hide his smile, Lin Qing scolded in his heart: "I really don't have a face today." ”
It was already past ten o'clock after all the writing, Lin Qing stretched his waist, because he didn't want to look up and see Xu Ping'an's smiling face, but instead settled down and finished his homework. Putting away the last scroll and looking up at the window, Lin Qing felt like a world away.
Hey, is it snowing? Lin Qing rubbed his eyes, it was very dark outside the window, only the lamp on the rooftop was swaying and emitting a soft yellow light, and some white snowflakes were slowly falling under the lamp.
"Xu Ping'an, it seems to be snowing." Lin Qing pushed Xu Ping'an, who was soaring in the sea of books next to him, and his tone was excited: "Wow, it's snowing." ”
Xu Ping'an raised his head and looked out the window, the snowflakes slowly swirled in the air, "Well, it's indeed snowing." ”
Lin Qing planned to open the door and rush to the rooftop, Xu Ping'an's room was similar to her room, next to the window was a door, and you could enter the rooftop when you opened it.
"Well, wait a minute, it's cold outside." Xu Ping'an stretched out his hand, but the girl ran too fast, and she had already opened the door and rushed out, and he didn't even catch the corner of his clothes.
Lin Qing stepped on the floor heating on the rooftop, his feet were warm, and there were gaps in the floor, and the falling snow would flow into the drainage outlet when it touched the floor heating and melted.
"Sit down, you'll catch a cold when you stand there." Xu Ping'an walked out with a thin blanket and beckoned Lin Qing to sit on the rocking chair in the middle.
There is an umbrella top on the rocking chair, which is made of yellow checkered cloth, and two people can sit on the rocking chair just to keep out the snow.
The rocking chair swayed, Lin Qing's feet swayed, Lin Qing looked up at the snowflakes falling one after another, at that time seemed to slow down, Lin Qing lifted the corner of the blanket, and the small white snowflakes slowly fell on the blanket, under the warm light, Lin Qing saw these snowflakes clearly for the first time.
"Xu Ping'an, look, every snowflake is really different." Carefully held the snowflakes in front of Xu Ping'an, and spoke softly, for fear of blowing the snowflakes away.
Xu Ping'an had a smile on his face, and he really came over to echo: "Really, each one is different." ”
So Lin Qing stared cautiously at the snowflakes in his hand, the first one had melted, and new snowflakes were constantly falling, Lin Qing grabbed a word, "Go and follow." ”
Neither of them spoke, and the snow fell more and more, so the blanket quickly became wet, until the snowflakes fell and could not hold on for a few seconds before melting, Lin Qing put down the blanket and leaned on the back of the chair, the dark clouds drifted away, and the moonlight passed through the clouds.
Lin Qing tilted his head to look at Xu Ping'an, the young man was bathed in the moonlight, and also turned his head to look at Lin Qing, so Lin Qing was unprepared and crashed into the young man's eyes full of moonlight, Lin Qing said in a ghostly manner: "Xu Ping'an, are you in pain?" ”
Xu Ping'an was stunned, he felt this matter, he had experienced too much since he was a child, and he had already gotten used to it.
Since he was a child, his mother would hold him in her arms, and tears flowed more than him, and he had long been accustomed to hiding his feelings in his heart, in order to let his mother shed fewer tears and let his father worry less. But this is the first time someone has asked him so seriously: "Do you hurt?" ”
Just like that, the young man spoke, his voice as faint as moonlight, fluttering: "It hurts." ”
Lin Qing, who got an affirmative answer, was not happy, in fact, she didn't know what kind of answer she wanted. The pain is certain, she doesn't want Xu Ping'an to think of these unhappy things.
"Lin Qing! Lin Qing, what about you? ”
Lin Qing tilted his ears, "Hey, it seems that my mother is back." ”
"Lin Qing!" Mother Lin's roar came from the other side of the wall.
"Don't shout, I'm here!" Lin Qing hurriedly stood up and jumped to his house in response.
Xu Ping'an couldn't stand it anymore, picked up the blanket and got up: "Stupid, hurry up and go home." ”
Lin Qing suddenly realized, and pulled Xu Ping'an to rush into the house. Xu's father and Xu's mother, who also heard Lin Qing's mother's shout, also came out of the room, hurriedly opened the door, and greeted Lin Qing's house.
"Mother Lin, Lin Qing is here with us." Mother Xu opened the door and pulled Lin Qing's mother in.
Lin Qing rushed to the door with his schoolbag and looked at the anxious Mother Lin with a smile.
"Lin Qing, what's the matter with you?" Lin Qing's mother raised her eyebrows and taught her daughter a cold lesson, then turned around and held Xu's mother's hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Oh, I'm really sorry, our family Lin Qing didn't cause trouble, right?" ”
Okay, this woman really has two faces, Lin Qing lowered his head and whispered.
The two mothers exchanged pleasantries for a while, until Lin Qing gave a big snort, and Lin's mother scolded her daughter, and a look shook over, which frightened Lin Qing and shrank in the corner and didn't dare to speak.
But fortunately, Mother Xu was reasonable, and looked at Lin Qing with a smile: "Xiaoqing is sleepy, then why don't you do this today, and come to the house for dinner another day." ”
Mother Lin was grateful again, and pulled Lin Qing to turn around and go home.
At the moment when the door was about to close, Lin Qing looked at Xu Ping'an in the crack of the door, and said silently: "Good night, Xu Ping'an." ”
Xu Ping'an, who was far away, also noticed Lin Qing's small movements, and smiled back: "Good night." ”
The door "snapped" shut, and at the last second, Lin Qing received a response, Lin Qing's heart warmed, it felt like a little secret between two people, hehe.
