Xiang Dongyang hesitated at the door of the ward at this time, he never had the intention of leaving, seeing Jiang Xiaomian sleeping soundly and Xian Xinchen next to her, he couldn't bear to disturb.

But the sound of small footsteps still came into Xian Xinchen's ears, and he gently pushed the door out.

"Dongyang, wait a minute." Xian Xinchen's hoarse voice was particularly loud in the quiet corridor, "Wait a minute, Xiaomian wants to go to Baitou Lake, you can accompany her." ”

The appearance of Xiang Dongyang came at a good time for Xian Xinchen.

Xian Xinchen's resignation came well for Xiang Dongyang.

Xiang Dongyang smiled and agreed.

"Then I'll give her to you, I'll go first."

Looking at the back of Xian Xinchen leaving, he exhaled a comfortable long breath to Dongyang.

After a while, Jiang Xiaomian's call came from inside.

"Brother Xinchen..."

"Mom..."

"Uncle Xian? Are you there? ”

Jiang Xiaomian opened her eyes, and no one responded to her, "Xinchen, strange, where did you go?" ”

Feeling a little thirsty, she got up and got out of bed, groping her hands on the table for water next to her.

didn't grope for the water cup, but was held by a pair of hands and handed her a glass of water, Jiang Xiaomian asked with a smile: "Xinchen, is it you?" ”

Jiang Xiaomian didn't hear the answer of the person in front of her, she swallowed the water in the cup and said, "Are you uncomfortable in your throat today and don't want to speak, it's okay to take a break." ”

Xiang Dongyang suppressed his voice and pretended to be low and hoarse, and said "um" in a voice that was not easy to distinguish.

Jiang Xiaomian didn't notice the abnormality, and the empty cup in his hand had been taken by him.

"Xinchen, we said we would go to Paekdu Lake, when will we leave?"

Xiang Dongyang was stunned for a long time, and didn't know how to answer, if Jiang Xiaomian knew that the person in front of her was Xiang Dongyang and not Xian Xinchen, the trip to Baitou Lake would turn into foam in the lake.

Jiang Xiaomian suddenly felt that he was picked up and put in a wheelchair, and stood up very resolutely to resist: "No, my feet are still there, I don't want to sit on this!" I want you to take my hand and be my eyes. ”

Her face was full of confusion and longing, and she stretched out her hand and waited for the other pair to take her up, like a lonely kapok on the branch waiting for the warm spring breeze to blow. She got her wish, her palms did not fall short, and a pair of hands that were as thick as jade and calm to make people feel at ease, guiding her forward little by little.

The gentleness and steadfastness brought by these hands made Jiang Xiaomian's heart rise without a trace of distraction, nor the slightest suspicion, and he naturally thought that those hands were Xian Xinchen's hands.

Jiang Xiaomian's eyebrows, eyes and lips were outlined into the arc of a crescent moon by the god of joy, and he thought with a smile: "This is the first time that I have been held by Xian Xinchen like this." ”

The noise in his ears hissed with the sound of the wind, and the hands that were held never lost his way. I don't know how long I walked, or how long I still need to walk, when I heard the sound of seagulls, Jiang Xiaomian knew that her wish for a trip to Baitou Lake had been fulfilled.

Baitou Lake is a famous scenic spot in Changnan City, adjacent to the urban hospital. Because Changnan belongs to the warm south, at the beginning of winter every year, thousands of seagulls will come from the distant Siberia across the sea, nostalgic for the warm winter here, and fly back to Siberia in the spring of the following year, and the cycle repeats.

Look, the lake is rippling, the seagulls are flying, and a seagull is passing by on the surface of the lake, and the song is long.

"Xinchen, I heard the sound of seagulls!" Jiang Xiaomian listened carefully to the source of the sound and almost jumped up excitedly.

Jiang Xiaomian's "Xinchen" is really a two-word pain for Xiang Dongyang.

Xiang Dongyang looked down at his life in his early twenties, and couldn't find any other pain to compete with the bitterness at the moment. A heart is like this pit, bearing hundreds of thousands of tons of lake water, and it is hard to breathe in the air.

Anyway, it is not the first time that Xiang Dongyang has played the role of Xian Xinchen. Whether it was the time of the other Kapok or today's events, he was reluctant to open his mouth to drive away her short happy time.

"Sell marshmallows, fluffy melt-in-your-mouth marshmallows!"

Jiang Xiaomian's eyes were attracted to search for the direction of the marshmallow vendors, but it was in vain after all. She tugged at the corners of the clothes of the people around her, with a coquettish tone: "I want to eat marshmallows." ”

The marshmallow vendor really had a pair of spiritual ears, and before Xiang Dongyang could react, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, sir, marshmallows are ten yuan each." ”

Xiang Dongyang gave money, chose a white marshmallow, shook Jiang Xiaomian's hand, and handed it to her steadily.

Jiang Xiaomian grinned, his fingertips touching the soft marshmallows, tearing them into his mouth. At this moment, the sweetness that touched the tongue coating, Jiang Xiaomian thought to herself, such a sweetness could not be faded away in her life.

On the steps of the lake, two people sat with their legs down, and the seagulls chasing in the evening breeze fluttered their wings with some violent speed, stirring the lake in front of them with a clear sound of water.

Jiang Xiaomian felt some splashing lake water on his face, knew that it was the group of seagulls who were naughty, and asked the people around him with a smile: "This is the first time I have come to Baitou Lake since returning to Changnan, do you know that there is a beautiful legend here?" ”

didn't hear the answer, Jiang Xiaomian thought to himself in his heart: "Xinchen grew up mostly in the north when he was a child, and he must have never heard of the legends here. ”

Xiang Dongyang looked at Jiang Xiaomian, her face was peaceful, and the corners of her mouth were stained with the residual marshmallow, so she reached out and gently took it away for her, listening to her slowly tell the story of the long time.

"It's a story that transcends geography. Legend has it that a long time ago, this was not a lake, but a very high altitude of Mount Paektu. The mountain god of Baitou Mountain has a daughter named Bai Ya, Bai Ya was born very beautiful, she has a distant place in her heart, and likes to travel around the world. Once, after she traveled to distant Siberia, she did not return to Mt. Paekdu for a long time. ”

The lake breeze gradually blew, and Jiang Xiaomian suddenly paused, because the slimy candy on her lips provoked some strands of hair to stick.

Jiang Xiaomian put the hair to his ear and continued: "Do you know why Bai Ya didn't go back to Baitou Mountain? Because she fell in love with a folk guy in Siberia who raised seagulls. And it is impossible for people and gods to fall in love, and the mountain god angrily captured Bai Ya back to Baektu Mountain. When the folk guy was looking for Bai Ya, he unfortunately froze to death in the snow of Siberia.

Bai Ya decided to break with the mountain god for the sake of her lover, and she must go to Siberia, and under the anger of the mountain god, the mountain immediately shook and gradually collapsed. Because Mt. Baekdu is so heavy, it causes it to sink into the ground and form a huge crater.

Bai Ya knew that after her lover died, she chose to turn into tears and throw her body into the bottom of the lake, hearing that the soul of the folk guy was attached to the seagull. Therefore, every year, flocks of seagulls come and fly over the lake, and it looks white from a distance. People call this lake Baekdu Lake, and it is said that when couples walk through this lake together, they will be blessed by the god Baekya, so that they will be white-headed for the rest of their lives. ”

Xiang Dongyang smiled and stared at the group of seagulls, listening so seriously.

After Jiang Xiaomian's story was finished, it was already getting into the night, and a few microstars were haunting, shining brightly in the sky.

"The stars are out, come home!" There was a cheer from the little boy running by.

Jiang Xiaomian whispered and repeated the little boy's words: "The stars are out...", and then frowned and leaned on Xiang Dongyang's shoulder, muttering, "I want to accompany you to admire the stars in the sky, but unfortunately there are no stars in my eyes at this moment." If only you were willing to stay with me, that would be fine. ”

Xiang Dongyang was silent, only by being silent like this could he stay by Jiang Xiaomian's side for a longer time.

"Xinchen, I'm sleepy."

A slightly thicker coat was draped on Jiang Xiaomian's body, and she could feel the warmth brought by the gravity of this coat, so that she leaned on her broad back and slept very deeply on the way back.

Xiang Dongyang carried Jiang Xiaomian all the way back to the hospital, and put her on the bed very lightly, for fear that he would wake her up in the next second. Looking at her tired and sleeping again, Xiang Dongyang couldn't help but lean over and kiss her lightly on the forehead.

And Jiang Xiaomian didn't know anything about this kiss.

Xiang Dongyang waited for Xian Xinchen to come before leaving for home.

The next day, when Jiang Xiaomian woke up, he heard the voices of Lin Shen and his younger brother Xiaoquan early in the morning.

"Sister..."

Lin Shen saw Jiang Xiaomian open his eyes, and said with a smile: "Wake up?" It's the first time I've seen you wake up so late, it's already past ten o'clock! Did you have any dreams last night? I don't want to wake up. ”

Jiang Xiaomian only laughed and ignored it.

"Sister..."Koizumi came over and took his sister's hand.

"Koizumi, what's wrong? Come, sister, look... Look at you. Jiang Xiaomian was silent when he said the word "look".

Koizumi hurriedly comforted: "Sister, the doctor said, you will be fine soon, and you will be able to play with Koizumi when the time comes!"

When Lin Shen was moving a stool to sit next to him, he suddenly saw a men's coat fall on it.

"Yo, whose coat fell here?"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaomian thought that it was the one he wore yesterday when he was in Baitou Lake, so he said: "It should be Xian Xinchen who wore it yesterday, and I will remind him later."

Koizumi glanced at it smartly and said, "Sister, you're wrong, this is not the coat my brother is wearing..."

Jiang Xiaomian pouted, but when Xiaoquan didn't know what was talking nonsense, he dismissed him: "This is my brother's, remember to tell him when he comes to pick you up." ”

Koizumi listened to his sister's instructions and nodded suspiciously.

In the afternoon, Lin Shen had just returned to school from the hospital, and he was not far from the school gate, when he heard Ye Yao and her fox friend walking in front of him chewing the root of his tongue.

"Hmph, Jiang Xiaomian's eyes are seductive, especially able to hook a man's soul, now God can't stand it, it's blind!" Ye Yao's tone was very ugly.

The people who traveled with Ye Yao also chimed in: "Yes, be blind for the rest of your life, and see who else likes her!"

It is said that people are divided into groups, and these few people are very obvious.

The woman who spoke just now is called Yu Mei, heh, as her name suggests, ignorant and ignorant. In school, she is Ye Yao's loyal follower, just because Ye Yao has the momentum of the eldest sister in school, Yu Mei can't wait to follow her and get a little benefit.

Ye Yao said again: "My sister is really stupid, she went to see her again and again, and then she was not blind!!"

…

"Ye Yao, you have eaten too much stinky tofu, and it is so stinky when you export it!"

A voice came from behind them, and it turned out that Lin Shen couldn't listen to such muddy words and scolded them.

"Who do I think it is, it turns out to be Jiang Xiaomian's good sister, what? You can't teach us a lesson! Ye Yao's words were very arrogant, she looked down on Jiang Xiaomian as much as she looked down on Lin Shen.

Lin Shen was angry and wanted to slap Ye Yao, but Ye Yao was not a vegetarian, so he turned his face with sharp eyes and avoided it.

Since the slap was empty, his feet should not be idle, so Lin Shen kicked Ye Yao in a fit of anger.

"Oops!"

Ye Yao was kicked to the ground unguardedly, and scolded and instigated her partner: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you beat this evil girl quickly!"

Everyone stepped forward to beat Lin Shen, but Lin Shen would also punch and kick, and beat them all with blue noses and swollen faces, and Lin Shen, at most, was pulled a few handfuls of hair.

Ye Yao was immediately so angry that his face distorted, and he looked at Lin Shen with angry eyes: "Lin Shen, you remember your behavior today!"

Lin Shen glanced at her disdainfully, rolled his eyes and replied: "Don't worry about it, I'll remember it for the rest of my life!" ”

Lu Xiaoguo came from behind, saw a group of people around in front, and hurriedly walked through the crowd to see what was going on.

Ye Jiao saw Lu Xiaoguo coming out of the crowd, and pulled him as if he had caught reason: "Lu Xiaoguo, look at the people in your sports department, with a few skills, you will bully the weak women of our literature and art department, you can tell me how to punish them!"

Lu Xiaoguo followed the situation and saw Lin Shen on the side, and in the face of Ye Yao's accusations, Lin Shen still looked arrogant and rude, as if it was none of his business.

"Lin Shen, apologize!" Lu Xiaoguo's words were angry.

Lin Shen opened his mouth in surprise and pricked up his ears, did he hear it wrong? The stinky pot lid actually ordered himself to apologize to this woman.

Lu Xiaoguo saw that Lin Shen did not react, and reiterated again.

The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.

Lin Shen overshadowed Lu Xiaoguo's rebuke with a more imposing decibels, "No, I'm not wrong, they are the ones who should apologize!" ”

Lu Xiaoguo's face changed to stern, "As a member of the sports department, I force you to apologize to them!" ”

Ye Yao heard Lu Xiaoguo reprimand Lin Shen like this, and his face couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"I just don't apologize!"

"Lin Shen, believe it or not, I kicked you out of the ministry!"

Lu Xiaoguo's words shocked Lin Shen, the sports department she had worked so hard to get into was now easily overturned by a sentence.

Lin Shen was annoyed, turned his head, bumped into the crowd and left, leaving a message:

"What kind of love is it, you Aunt Lin and Grandma Lin are not rare!"

In the conference room, Lin Shen blushed angrily for what happened just now, and she was so angry that she found a piece of paper and was about to write a letter of resignation.

"Stinky pot lid, dead pot lid!"

Lin Shen scolded while writing, and when Lu Xiaoguo came to her side, she didn't stop talking, still scolding blatantly.

After a cold war for a while, Lin Shen couldn't help but be idle, and asked in a rough tone: "Why, don't you go to comfort your Ye Xiaohua!"

Lu Xiaoguo listened to her, and it seemed that he could still be in the mood to joke.

"Hey, you're serious? I haven't picked anyone yet! Lu Xiaoguo said and picked up the application in Lin Shen's hand, with a hippie smile on his face.

Lin Shen snatched the application back: "Huh? Flirting? It's not that you don't want me, it's that I don't want you, please figure out the situation! ”

"What I'm yours, if you want it, don't say it like a divorce agreement!"

At this time, Lu Xiaoguo's joking tone gradually rose, and the deterrent power of Fang Cai's roar suddenly dropped by eighty percent, and the front and back were like two people.

Lin Shen pursed his lips, and said with hatred in his heart: "Just now someone threatened to embarrass me in front of everyone, why, this time he played tricks with me?"

Lu Xiaoguo hurriedly defended: "Pirate mother, you really wronged me this time!"

Lin Shen snorted, expressing disbelief.

"Wronged? Could it be that someone still has a knife on your neck and forces you to say those things? After Lin Shen finished speaking, he also learned to land Xiao Guo Fangcai's tone and demonstrated.

"Say you're stupid, you're so stupid that you will immediately write a letter of resignation, this is the joy of the relatives and enemies!" Lu Xiaoguo said that he was about to walk out.

Lin Shen hurriedly pulled his hat behind him: "What do you mean, tell me clearly before leaving, don't make people sound out of tune."

"Did I say I'm leaving? Aunt Lin, I'm going to close the door and let me go! ”

When Lin Shen heard this, he let him go and sat back on the stool.

Lu Xiaoguo poked his head out and saw that there was no one outside, so he closed the door and turned his head to analyze the reason with her, "The reason why I said you in public just now is to give Ye Yao face..."

Lin Shen interrupted him: "Na Na Na, get to your Ye Xiaohua!"

Lu Xiaoguo handed Lin Shen a glass of water and explained: "You listen to me first, I have stayed in this school longer than you, and I know better than you what Ye Yao's character and temperament are." Like your upright temperament, you must be justified in arguing with her! But if you quarrel with her like this, you will make enemies with her. And you are under my subordinates, I teach you in public, and her face grows, and she will not do anything to you when she looks at my face. ”

Lin Shen turned his face and ignored it when he heard this, and Lu Xiaoguo said again: "Well, it's like you have a fight with your little friend, in front of others, your mother will definitely reprimand you first, and when you get home, your mother will care about you, this is the love of people before and after, and sensible." ”

After listening carefully, he realized that Lu Xiaoguo's words were reasonable, don't look at him playing with himself out of tune on weekdays, his mind is clear, and there is some reason.

"You have a conscience, but I don't want your protection." Lin Shen was unwilling to be convinced.

Lu Xiaoguo patted her on the head: "Just you, one day she will find a few gangsters to block you on the way home, and you won't be angry to call your father and mother!"

Lin Shencai didn't believe him, and said, "I don't believe that Ye Yao is so blatant!"

"Maybe one day you'll believe it!" Lu Xiaoguo laughed and remembered again and asked, "How did you beat them just now, why are they all blue and swollen, but you haven't lost any skin at all?"

Lin Shen heard him ask about the point, and said proudly: "Just remembered to ask the essence?" When I was a child, in school, the senior people always came to collect protection money from me, forcing me to practice a good skill! Later, the people who collect protection money have to take a detour when they see me!"

"Okay!" Lu Xiaoguo gave her a thumbs up and looked at her impressedly, "Why do I think there are so many stories when you were a child!" ”

Lin Shen patted his chest: "This is called 'Only those who have experience can be outstanding!'" ”

"Tut-tut, like you, it's like a UFO of unknown origin!" Lu Xiaoguo teased her and reminded her seriously: "However, the review book still has to be written, after all, everyone is watching, and it is good to write it out and make a show."

"Got it!"

Lin Shen answered him with confidence.
