Chapter 18: The Cake

Lin Qing found that everyone was discussing the sports meeting in the past few days, and Lin Qingcai was surprised to find that at Bai Yiqing's house that day, what his grandmother said was not wrong, their school was indeed about to have a sports meeting!

After eating at noon, Xu's mother knocked on the door.

"Huh? Auntie, are you going out? Lin Qing opened the door and couldn't help but wonder when he saw Mother Xu's neatly dressed appearance.

Xu Ping'an's mother is also very good-looking, but she is still very lively in her thirties, and her shoulder-length short hair is neatly combed with a comb, which can be seen to be well maintained. The whole person exudes the same gentle temperament as Xu Ping'an.

I don't know if it's because she loves to use aromatherapy or sprays perfume, she always has a nice smell on her body, I have to say that Mother Xu's dedication to fragrance even affected the little Lin Qing, who was still young and had a vague concept of delicacy at the time.

Today she wore a pale pink down jacket with a white scarf, and at first glance she thought it was a yellow flower girl.

"Huanghua Girl" was seen by Lin Qing on TV, and she felt that it was the most appropriate to describe Xu's mother who was now in front of her.

"Yes, my students are going to participate in the competition, and they have been working overtime recently." Mother Xu smiled slightly, pointed back to her home, and invited with a smile: "Yesterday my children had birthdays, I came back with some cakes, Xiaoqing will also go and eat." ”

Xu's mother was originally a music teacher at school, and after giving birth to Xu Ping'an, she resigned to become a housewife at home because she had to take care of Xu Ping'an, until Xu Ping'an gradually grew up healthy in recent years, and then went out to be a tutor who taught children piano.

Hearing this, Lin Qing's eyes lit up, but he still subconsciously refused: "Ah, no need, no need." ”

Mother Xu pursed her lips and smiled, silently Lin Qing's head, and said reasonably: "Oh, don't be polite, I'm going to cut the cake at home safely, then Auntie will go first." ”

"Okay, then I'm welcome." Seeing this, Lin Qing was not polite, and waved his hand at Xu's mother: "Then Auntie be careful on the road." ”

When Lin Qing was a child, cakes were still a luxury that could only be eaten on birthdays, children liked cakes, and Lin Qing was not surprised, humming a song and grabbing the key to close the door in one go.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Qing saw Xu Ping'an coming out of the kitchen with a cake, wearing an apron, looking like a housewife.

"Coming? Come and have your cake over. ”

Xu Ping'an put the cake on the coffee table and waved at Lin Qing to beckon her to sit down and eat the cake.

"Okay," Lin Qing agreed with a smile, and rushed to the coffee table with his slippers down.

"Huh! No way! Seeing that Xu Ping'an picked up the fork and was about to insert it like a cake, Lin Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ping'an sat next to Lin Qing and turned his head to look at her suspiciously.

When Lin Qing didn't know the word "sense of ceremony", she was already a full "girl with a sense of ceremony". For an ordinary junior high school girl, the most affordable and easy to achieve a sense of ritual is: to blow out candles to eat cake.

So Lin Qing boldly made a request: "Eat cake to blow out candles." Lin Qing stretched out a finger and pointed to the cake, imagining the doctor he saw on TV, his index finger swaying from side to side, with a look of "you don't understand".

Seeing this, Xu Ping'an knew that this girl must be thinking about something strange again, so he shook his head and cooperated helplessly: "Okay, how do you know that there are candles?" ”

Someone praised Lin Qing and raised his head, and his tail was eager to go up to the sky: "Of course, a woman's intuition." ”

"Alright, let's light the candles and start making wishes." Xu Ping'an took out two colored candles, inserted one on the two cakes, lit the fire, and sat down again.

Lin Qing thanked him with a smile, moved his buttocks, sat up straight, crossed his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and began to make a wish.

The little girl's eyes were closed, she lowered her head and crossed her hands in front of her chest, which made Xu Ping'an laugh, and she couldn't help but sit up straight and follow Lin Qing's appearance and close her eyes and make a wish.

Feeling the movements of the person next to him, Lin Qing quietly opened his eyes and turned his head to look over, the boy also closed his eyes and held his hands in front of his chest, his side face was exquisite, the bridge of his nose was high and his eyelashes were as quiet as a fan, and the whole person looked even fairer and quieter after closing his eyes.

When the young man slowly opened his eyes, Lin Qing leaned forward and asked with a smile: "Xu Ping'an, what wish did you make?" ”

"I want everyone I know to be healthy and all the best." Xu Ping'an took down the two candles and threw them into the trash, and replied lightly.

Lin Qing pursed his lips, leaned back on the sofa, and sighed: "What, this wish is too ordinary." ”

Hearing this, Xu Ping'an turned his head to look at the girl lying down, and said funny: "Then tell me, what extraordinary wish did you make?" ”

Lin Qing kept lying down and did not move, only twisting his eyes to look at Xu Ping'an, his round eyes were rolling around.

"No, it won't work if you say it."

Xu Ping'an was choked by Lin Qing's words, and only laughed helplessly after a while, and said angrily: "Eat the cake quickly, if you don't eat the lunch break, it's over." ”

-------------------------------------

A piece of cake is in the stomach, and Lin Qing is full of food. Leaning on the sofa, he watched Xu Ping'an turn the TV channel.

"Can I watch the children's channel?" Lin Qing commanded.

"Is this okay?" Xu Ping'an turned to the children's channel in a straight way.

Lin Qing glanced at the animation being played on the TV, "Hmm... So be it. Patting his stomach, Lin Qing cocked Erlang's legs, looking like an uncle.

Xu Ping'an shook his head helplessly, put the remote control on the coffee table, and leaned back on the sofa pillow to concentrate on watching TV.

"Xu Ping'an, are we going to have a sports meeting next week?" Lin Qing suddenly remembered the sports meeting that everyone was talking about recently, and turned his head and asked.

"Well, there is a class meeting this afternoon, so we should discuss it." Xu Ping'an didn't care, and replied casually.

Lin Qing got up suddenly, straddling the sofa with one leg bent, and leaning on the back of the sofa with her left hand to support her head, such a posture allowed her to look directly at Xu Ping'an and speak. She asked, "Do you remember what I told you last time, that Bai Yiqing?" ”

Xu Ping'an also turned his head to look directly at Lin Qing, lowered his head and thought about it seriously, and said, "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

"Before, her grandmother said that we were going to hold a sports meeting soon, and she also said the exact time, and her family looks so rich, and..." Lin Qing said all his thoughts, while raising his eyes and carefully observing Xu Ping'an's reaction: "And... I heard my mother say that her family helped me to transfer schools. ”

"Hmm..." Xu Ping'an nodded, a little unsure of what Lin Qing wanted to express, and said suspiciously: "So... What's wrong? ”

"It's just..."Lin Qing considered her mouth, although she understood that it was normal to go through the back door, but she instinctively resisted going through the back door, and she didn't want her good friend to feel that she came in by going through the back door, "That's it... Their family is rich or something..."

Xu Ping'an understood, adjusted his posture and sat upright, and seriously blocked the girl's crooked thoughts: "It's nothing, I think... Rich people are willing to help you, and it is also part of your strength. ”

Lin Qing raised his head and crashed into the young man's serious eyes, pondering the young man's words...

Rich people are willing to help you, and it is also part of your strength... Something...

It was the first time Lin Qing heard this point of view, and it made sense to be able to explain it so naturally and reasonably, a scholar deserves to be a scholar. Lin Qing nodded, looking like he had benefited a lot.

"And you know what?" Xu Ping'an added an argument, "Zhang Yi's father is the principal. ”

Hearing this, Lin Jing's eyes widened, holding her breath, with surprise on her face: "His father is the principal!" ”

"Hmm." Xu Ping'an's face did not change.

"Good will triumph over evil!" The TV suddenly became louder, Lin Qing turned his head, it was the scene of the protagonist drawing his sword and the villain duel.

With the dense and passionate background sound of the drums, the protagonist said the full line of this sentence.

Lin Qing condensed his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and stared carefully at the TV screen, the protagonist on the screen, black and high, may be to match his identity as the embodiment of justice, with a square face, wearing armor, and fighting for world peace.

Lin Qing blinked, stretched out his finger to point at the TV, turned his head to look at Xu Ping'an, and smiled: "Xu Ping'an, do you think this portrait looks like Zhang Yi?" ”

Xu Ping'an was also attracted by the protagonist's righteous lines, and Lin Qing glanced at each other and saw the smile hidden in each other's eyes, and also pursed his lips and snickered, his eyes crooked: "Hmm... This can be regarded as saying that Cao Cao Cao has arrived. ”

Lin Qing laughed heartily, and the girl's vague discomfort with power and money in her heart was gently erased by the young man, and only the girl's crisp and lively laughter was left in the room for a while.
