An hour and a half by car, Liu Zhixi seems to have experienced an ice age, the Harmony is as warm as spring, the passengers have taken off their heavy coats, Liu Zhixi curled up in the car, feeling extremely cold, as if placed in an ice cellar. For a moment, she wished that the train would never arrive, so that she would still have room to imagine happiness and a glimmer of hope for the future.

The announcer's sweet voice, but at an inopportune time, reminded her that she had arrived, and she stumbled and stepped out of the car at the last moment. The train continued to move forward, and she looked at the speeding carriage, a little girl with a bow, who was coquettish in her mother's arms, she looked at it stupidly, and thought about it stupidly, but found that in her mind, there was no script that could be recalled.

Xin Chenxi was waiting for her at the high-speed rail station, it was drizzling, she didn't have an umbrella, the eaves that she had finally gotten and could shelter her from the wind and rain were already crumbling, Liu Zhixi knew that she was a child without shelter, so she could only run hard. "Wanchen, Dad misses you very much, he has been holding on, just to see you for the last time", Xin Chenxi choked up and said to Liu Zhixi.

"Brother", Liu Zhixi couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and let tears flow wantonly on her face, "Don't leave me, don't abandon me, okay, we, be brothers and sisters for a lifetime, I have no other relatives", Liu Zhixi couldn't cry, Xin Chenxi didn't speak, she saw Xin Chenxi nodding heavily from the rearview mirror.

"Dad", Liu Zhixi saw her father wearing an oxygen mask, lying in the intensive care unit, and she shouted heartbreakingly through the glass. My father fell into a coma, but when he heard her cry, he miraculously opened his eyes slightly. The father opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to her, whether it was a dying request or a hidden secret, but Liu Zhixi couldn't hear it anymore, a gentle straight line appeared on the display, the nurse hurriedly ran to call the doctor, and the father slowly and forever closed his eyes.

Father's funeral is very simple, Xin Chenxi and Liu Zhixi, buried their father in the cemetery not far from Xin Chenxi's mother, hoping that in heaven, they can greet each other and look at each other, next to their father's grave, Liu Zhixi quietly dug a small pit and buried the seeds of gardenias. Xin Chenxi told her that planting gardenias in winter would not survive, but Liu Zhixi insisted on doing so, as if this could prove that she had been a part of her father's life.

Liu Zhixi hurried back to the provincial capital, and she was busy looking for a winter vacation job to save up for living expenses for the next semester. Ye Zi recommended her to go to a family and be an English tutor, 300 yuan a day, 8 hours a day, including lunch, and a day off on weekends. Liu Zhixi went to try to teach for a day, it was an eight-year-old boy, with the naughty naughtiness of his age, but he exuded the innocence and kindness of a child. The boy's name is Xiaochen, and his family lives in the Country Garden Community in the provincial capital, although it cannot be compared with the Country Garden villas where the Su family lives, but it is also a good well-off home. At the end of the trial teaching, both parties were satisfied, and an agreement was signed to start classes from the next week.

On the weekend, Liu Zhixi was brushing questions in the dormitory, and the aunt in charge suddenly found her, "Liu Zhixi, someone downstairs is looking for you." She was about to go downstairs when she suddenly saw herself in the dressing mirror, with pimples on her face, her hair disheveled, and her old pajamas. She felt that she was so sorry for the way she looked, so she dressed up as quickly as possible. Before the dormitory manager left, she said meaningfully, "He is a very energetic guy, quite handsome." ”

Liu Zhixi ran downstairs and saw Xin Chenxi carrying two big shopping bags in her hands, and there was an instant warm current in her heart. "Brother," she cried out with joy, and ran to his side, chirping like a little sparrow. "Zhixi!" As soon as she turned around, she saw the leaves and the warm sun, holding hands, walking towards them. Ye Zi obviously saw them, and when her gaze fell on Xin Chenxi, she retracted all her smiles, her face stiff and cold, like the heavy frost of winter. She quickly withdrew her gaze, as if she didn't know, and turned her head to whisper softly to the warm sun.

Seeing this, Xin Chenxi's face was full of pain, he had just experienced the death of his father, and his heart, like a prey being eaten away in the cold wind, peeled off the fur layer by layer, revealing scarlet flesh. He handed the two bags to Liu Zhixi, and then turned to leave, Liu Zhixi looked at his back, feeling that he was so lonely and sad. Thinking of herself instead, Liu Zhixi smiled dumbly, didn't she and Xin Chenxi share the same disease?

He Ying, who had not been in contact for a long time in the evening, suddenly sent a message of greeting to Liu Zhixi, Liu Zhixi didn't know what to do, but she still replied politely and politely. After a long list of meaningless shouts and warm questions, He Ying just asked as if unintentionally if Liu Zhixi was still working as a teaching assistant at I SHOW, and then sent a happy expression and told Liu Zhixi that she was officially with Xin Chenxi today, and her words and words were extremely proud, even outperforming her happiness. Liu Zhixi sighed in her heart, she remembered that not long ago, one night, she returned to the office to get the information, but she happened to hear the conversation between Luo Run and He Ying.

At six o'clock in the morning, Liu Zhixi woke up, this was the first day she gave the boy Xiaochen's formal class, she stood in front of the dressing mirror and gestured, not knowing whether to wear a tweed coat or a suit, and finally she thought about it a little, and changed into a discounted Nike thick sweatshirt from Tmall, with simple and generous dark blue jeans, on her feet, wearing dozens of yuan, but the style is very fashionable pull back shoes.

The expensive high heels that Wenli had given her before, she had packed them all and put them in the recycling bin. Her life is tense and tight, but she has a sense of rebirth, because she is no longer an accessory of anyone, nor a victim of interests, she really belongs to herself and freely.

The subway in the morning rush hour is as crowded as ever, and the people in the carriages are close to each other, rubbing shoulders with each other. Liu Zhixi is on the train from the starting station, so I was lucky to have a seat. I remember when she was a child, because she lived in a small city, she saw the subway picture on TV, and she was always fascinated and wanted to experience it for herself.

She always pestered her elderly grandmother to take her to the Window of the World, the Sea World and the museum in the provincial capital, because the friends around her who had been there regarded it as a proud conversation. She remembered that one afternoon, her grandmother held a pu fan to repel flies and mosquitoes for her, and she suddenly felt that her grandmother's face was full of wrinkles, very similar to the Loess Plateau, with ups and downs, ravines and ravines, she told her grandmother this analogy, and her grandmother looked kind and promised her that she would go to the provincial capital together after she was admitted to university. Thinking of this, Liu Zhixi's heart was extremely sour, now that she has fulfilled her wish, she will never be able to realize her wish.

After an hour's drive, Liu Zhixi thought about her thoughts silently and soon arrived at the station. Familiar with the decoration style of Country Garden, she reported the house number of Xiaochen's house, and the security guard at the door pressed the switch of the electronic door, and she politely thanked her. As soon as she walked into the community, she saw Xiaochen's mother Pei Qian, who was wearing an expensive fur and skirt, and was walking out with the nanny at home.

"Sister Pei", Liu Zhixi greeted with a smile, Pei Qian's eyes were not big, but there was a seductive charm, she squinted her eyes, and her mouth with Gucci lip gloss was slightly upturned, "Oh, it's Zhixi, go upstairs, Xiaochen has already gotten up." Getting closer, Pei Qian suddenly approached Liu Zhixi, the smell of Chanel perfume came to her face, maybe she had smeared too much, Liu Zhixi couldn't help frowning.

"Zhixi, were you introduced by Ye Zi? Are you good sisters? Pei Qian hooked her eyes, as if smiling. Liu Zhixi didn't know what was going on, and nodded honestly, "Zhixi, she has a better internship opportunity, so she will throw this bad errand to you." ”

"Xiaochen, what's wrong with you?" Liu Zhixi was explaining the countable and uncountable nouns to Xiaochen, but Xiaochen was at a loss, and the expression on his face was very painful. In fact, Liu Zhixi felt Xiaochen's abnormality early in the morning, and she also mentioned it to Pei Qian during the recess.

Pei Qian watched the idol drama while drinking Rui Ao cocktails, and replied casually, "Hey, this kid is like this, I can't take care of it, otherwise, what do you want to do?" Although Liu Zhixi was quite unhappy in her heart, she took into account that she was under the control of others, so she crushed all her dissatisfaction and swallowed it into her stomach.

Liu Zhixi was in the study with Xiaochen practicing English scripts, and Pei Qian watched the burst of laughter from the online video, like a machine gun, hitting their eardrums. Perhaps, she really wanted to put a machine gun, but unfortunately Chinese law prohibits ordinary citizens from owning arms, otherwise it is likely that she would come back with a machine gun and shoot a piece.

"Xiaochen, you are so unenergetic, so how about we go out for a walk and have fun in the community playground?" Liu Zhixi simply closed the book and led Xiaochen to the community entertainment facilities, Xiaochen's eyes were full of tears, but in the game with his friends, he gradually forgot the unpleasantness.

The weather is getting hotter, because of running and playing, Xiaochen took off his down jacket and thick sweater, and only wore a thin single coat, suddenly, he accidentally tripped and fell heavily on the concrete floor, Liu Zhixi hurriedly stepped forward to check his injury, his back was cut a large piece, and bright red blood continued to ooze from the wound.

Liu Zhixi took Xiaochen home, and the nanny aunt brought iodine wine and bandages to wipe and bandage Xiaochen. Pei Qian didn't seem to have happened, she was still chasing the drama, maybe she saw the emotion, she cried so much.

In the evening, sitting on the subway on the way back, Liu Zhixi felt very tired and also had an inexplicable heartache, and when he checked Xiaochen's injuries today, his thin back was scarred, and the new scars and old scabs overlapped and intertwined, which was shocking. She looked at the nanny in shock, but the nanny was silent.
