The New Year in 2012 came earlier than usual.

A week before Lin Xichi's birthday had passed, the Spring Festival was ushered in.

The first snow in Xicheng had just arrived, and the whole city was covered by a vast expanse of whiteness. The sycamore tree with its leaves lost seemed to have lost its vitality, and occasionally a few unknown birds could be seen flying by.

Lin Xigeng's vacations add up to less than half a month, and he will return to school on the seventh day of the year. Even on New Year's Eve, she didn't spend time arguing with Lin Xi, got up early in the morning, sat at the desk and started doing the questions.

Affected by her hard work, Lin Xichi suddenly felt that she had been extremely decadent in the past few days.

She also followed Lin Xigeng to get up early in the morning, took up the position of the bed, leaned back against the head of the bed, put on glasses, and flipped through a book about veterinary medicine.

I spent an afternoon without knowing it.

After reading this part, Lin Xi slowed down his eyes, pulled the bedside table sideways, and turned out a small wooden box. The opening of the box was locked with a lock and could not be opened. She looked down, flipping up and down.

Lin Xigeng was disturbed by her movement and turned his head: "What are you doing."

"You said." Lin Xichi suddenly sat up straight and asked her, "Is Xu Fang sick."

"..." Lin Xi was silent, and touched the phone on the side, "I don't know, or I will help you ask him."

Lin Xi didn't pay attention to what she said, and shook the box in his hand. He didn't know what was in it, and there was no sound. It's not too big, it's bigger and lighter than her palm.

She shook it vigorously again, only the lock hair made a crisp click: "This is a birthday present from Xu Fang."

"Huh? This box?"

"No." Lin Xi shook his head, cheeks bulged, "It's what's inside."

"..."

"He kept the key himself." When he said this, Lin Xichi yanked the lock hard, "He said to give me this, and then locked the box and kept the key for himself. And he said that he would save it if he finds time. Give me the key, he never gave me the key when I meet him every day..."

"Is this normal?"

Lin Xichi said a lot of things on his own. When she raised her head, she realized that Lin Xigeng was not listening to her. Instead, she hung her head and tapped her fingers on the phone screen, as if sending text messages. .

Reminiscent of what she just said.

Lin Xi leaned over and watched: "You really give Xu Fangfa..."

Before she finished her words, she noticed that Lin Xigeng did not give the other party a note, only showing a bunch of strange mobile phone numbers.

Lin Xi blinked: "Who is this."

"I don't know." Lin Xigeng pressed the lock screen with a blank face, "Besides my parents, there was always another number to call me. The number belongs to Yuangang City. I thought it was you. Call me with someone else's phone, and I answered it."

"and then."

"I didn't talk over there, I thought it was a wrong call, so I ended up." Lin Xigeng said, "Then I called again a few days ago and kept silent. I felt very annoying, so I pulled him off. blacken."

Like a supernatural event, Lin Xi was late, and continued to ask: "Who is this then?"

"I feel like it's the same person..." Lin Xingeng's expression was a bit indescribable, a little irritable, "Anyway, I blacked out a new number and didn't speak every time. Recently the number belongs to Xicheng. By the way, I received it again when I was writing the test paper yesterday. I was very angry and didn't hang up. I asked who it was again, but I still didn't speak over there, so I scolded him."

Speaking of this, Lin Xigeng added: "It's bloody."

"..."

"Then he spoke."

Unexpectedly, it would develop into this way, Lin Xichi curiously said, "Say--"

Before she could ask, she was interrupted by Lin Xingeng's cell phone ringtone.

I thought it was the person who called, Lin Xigeng frowned, and when he was about to hang up, he suddenly saw that the caller ID was not an unfamiliar number, but-Dad.

Lin Xigeng's expression seemed to be even more annoying, and he tangled for a while, and threw the phone aside without answering it.

After a few rings, it hung up over there. Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief suddenly, but felt that his approach was not very good. He wanted to pretend that nothing happened, and retracted to the desk to continue writing.

Before long, the telephone in the living room rang.

Grandpa was cooking the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen at this time and had no time to listen to the phone.

Lin Xi jumped out of bed, ran to the living room, and answered the phone: "Hello, who is it?"

On the other end of the call, a mature and low-pitched male voice came, slightly tired: "Are you late? You ask Geng Geng to answer the call."

The smile at the corner of Lin Xichi's mouth froze. He didn't know what to reply, and soon he sighed and got up.

It happened that Grandpa also came out of the kitchen when he heard the movement. He wiped his hands with his apron and asked, "Whose phone number."

"Yes." Lin Xi stopped walking late to the room, looked at Grandpa, and muttered in a low voice, "Daddy, he asked Geng Geng to answer the phone, I'll call..."

"No." Grandpa interrupted her, then walked over and answered the phone.

Lin Xichi stood there for a while, did not listen to what they were saying, and went back to the room.

At this moment, Lin Xigeng was no longer in the mood to continue studying, sitting in a daze, and soon recovered, lowered his head and picked up a pen, scribbling in the notebook.

Lin Xi sat back on the bed slowly, picked up the book slowly, staring at one of the words.

The room became very quiet.

Neither person spoke.

I don't know how long it took, there was the sound of grandpa's footsteps walking here, and then knocked on the door, paused for a few seconds, and then pushed in.

Grandpa's expression was uglier than just now, and his brows were frowned into Sichuan, and he said to Lin Xigeng, "Geng, you pack things up, and your dad will pick you up later."

Lin Xigeng opened his mouth slightly, and said, "I want to stay here..."

"They will go to City B after the New Year, and you will have a meal in the New Year." Grandpa's voice eased, "Your father said, I will send you back tomorrow."

Lin Xi pursed her lips and nodded.

Grandpa went out now.

Lin Xichi sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at her, and suddenly asked, "Do your parents know that Lin Ling will beat you?"

"I haven't said it." Lin Xigeng lowered his eyes and stuffed the textbooks on the desk into his schoolbag. "I don't know."

"Then did they call Lin Ling a psychiatrist?"

"In October, I said that I would take Lin Ling to see a doctor in City B, but my grandma refused, saying that it would make people gossiping." When it comes to this, Lin Xigeng sneered, "People would say that Lin Ding is neurotic. If she said too much, her parents listened to them, and they didn’t let her go out, so she stayed at home. Moreover, now they feel that Lin Ying has gradually got better and nothing happened. It would be better to change the environment. ."

"..."

"It's normal anyway." Lin Xingeng thought for a while. "In fact, Lin Jing doesn't beat me very often. She stays in the room most of the time and doesn't speak. She occasionally starts crying and screaming. ."

After a while, Lin Xichi twitched his mouth stiffly: "I told my parents."

"what?"

Lin Xichi's eyes widened and continued: "I told them about Lin Ying hitting me. I thought they would let her see a doctor, but after a while, they let me come to Grandpa. Live at home."

"..."

"It's okay. I'm not very happy to live anyway." Lin Xi rubbed his eyes and said slowly, "Here, Grandpa is very good to me, and Xu Fang will still come and go to school with me like before. , You will also call me..."

Lin Xigeng lowered his head and responded dullly.

"I thought that under normal circumstances, I lived in my grandfather’s house, and I didn’t go to her to stimulate her. My parents insisted on taking Lin Ying to see a doctor. After a long time, she has recovered from illness and I can go home again. Then we continue to live together as before."

"..."

"But it doesn't seem to be the case." Lin Xichi's voice was very soft, with a faint expression, "Maybe raising three children at the same time. It's really hard work."

Lin Xigeng didn't know what to say, and looked at her helplessly.

Lin Xichi sighed and said seriously, "Let them take her to see a doctor. She is sick. If she is sick, she needs to see a doctor and take medicine. This will be good."

"Anyone will get sick, this is not a shameful thing."

After Lin Xigeng went out, Lin Xi went to the kitchen late to help grandpa.

The grandfather and grandson talked a little bit, but Lin Xi was mostly talking late. Occasionally, Grandpa would move his gaze from the pot to her, happily scolding her for a few stinky girls.

The New Year's Eve dinner for two people did not seem deserted at all.

Bringing all the dishes to the table, Lin Xi arrived late and brought two bowls of rice out of the kitchen.

Wai Gongyi sat on the main seat and took the meal from her hand: "Eat."

Lin Xichi obediently responded, sat next to him, and began to pick him up vegetables.

After a long time, my grandfather spoke up and said, "At that time, your father adopted you. There were too many procedures and some conditions could not be met. So I asked people everywhere for help. Later, after the procedures were completed, after taking you home, your mother said Don't raise it, let him send the child back."

Lin Xichi gave his chopsticks.

"My grandmother and I heard that the child is not an object. How can you raise it if you want to raise it, or leave it if you don’t." Grandpa’s voice was steady and slow, and continued, "Your grandma and I took you over. ."

Lin Xi said quietly: "What about then."

"Later, I didn’t know what your dad said to your mom, and they wanted to take you back. We took you back for months. But your mom kept crying so they took you away. Now you live This is good, it's all returned to Zhao."

The atmosphere was quiet for a long time.

"Really?" Lin Xichi's eye circles turned red, and the strength of holding the chopsticks increased a bit. At this moment, he couldn't help saying something that he hadn't said in front of anyone, "They don't want me, and you will too. Take me home?"

Grandpa nodded and touched her head: "Really."

Lin Xi didn't know if what he said was true.

But at this moment, she really wanted to, and needed this answer too much.

"You think Geng Geng is so good..." Lin Xichi's tears pattered down, wiping her tears with her hands like a child, "If Lin Ling, if nothing like that happened, she would definitely become Such a good person..."

Grandpa patted her on the back, his tone was kind: "You are also a good boy."

"I dare not... I dare not blame them..."

"Grandpa knows."

Lin Xi choked, telling him all the grievances of the past few years, listening to grandpa's comfort, shedding all the tears that had been held back in the past few years.

The trembling and cautiousness that has always been, at this moment, seems to be scattered with tears, drop by drop.

Lin Xigeng didn't come back on the first day of the new year, but stayed there for several days.

After Lin Xingeng started school, Lin Xing and Lin's mother took Lin Ding and grandma to City B. There was not much left in Lin Xichi's vacation. He stayed at home with his grandpa every day, and occasionally rode his bicycle to Lanbei to find Xu Fang to play.

After the semester begins.

In the new semester, Lin Xichi has more professional courses than last semester, and with the department's affairs, he has been much busier than before. She and Xu Fang found the same vacancy in the class schedule and chose the same elective course.

In addition, besides eating, the most frequent place for them is the library.

The days Xu Fang spent this semester were very different from those of his friends.

When his friend was still sleeping dimly, he carried his schoolbag, and under Lin Xichi's urging, he carried a lot of professional books to the library.

When his friend was playing games in the dormitory, he carried his schoolbag on his back, and under Lin Xichi's urging, he carried a lot of professional books to the library.

When his friend finished playing basketball and was about to go outside to drink and tease his sister, he carried his schoolbag, and under Lin Xichi's urging, he went back to the dormitory to load a lot of professional books and walked to the library.

...

...

Xu Fang felt that his current life was more difficult than that of his third year in high school.

As if noticing that his mood was not very good, Lin Xichi coaxed him and said with a smile, "Don't you think this kind of life is very fulfilling? Every day is full, and no time is wasted."

Xu Fang didn't want to talk to her at all.

Although Xu Fang always didn't show her a good face because she called him to the library. But every time Lin Xi urged him late, he would definitely appear at the door of the library within ten minutes. He had never tried to be one minute late.

The elective course that the two of them chose together was a water course. Lin Xichi went to the school forum to read it and said that the teacher's course was exceptionally good, so he decided to take it.

this day.

Lin Xi woke up late in the afternoon, and arrived in the classroom later than Xu Fang. She originally thought that Xu Fang would choose the position in the back three rows, but after looking for a long time in the back row, she finally found him in the first row of seats.

In a spacious classroom that can accommodate 100 people, most students are crowded in the back rows.

Only Xu Fang sat in the front row alone, very eye-catching.

The bell was already ringing, and it was a bit embarrassing to pull him to change positions at this time. Lin Xichi wanted to abandon him and sit in another position, but felt uneasy, so he could only slowly walk over to sit next to him and asked in a low voice: "How do you sit in the first row."

Xu Fang glanced at her, his tone was not very good: "Didn't you tell me to study hard?"

"..." But she didn't say that it included water lessons.

Lin Xichi didn't want to hit him with such a positive mentality, pulled out a smile and nodded. She took out the textbook from her schoolbag, flipped through it, and took out a set of CET-6 test papers to write.

Xu Fang ignored her, listening to the teacher's lecture, taking notes in the textbook.

Lin Xichi's attention couldn't help being attracted by him. Usually, when the two of them took this class together, she would either fall asleep or just do other things, and rarely pay attention to his movements.

Looking at it this way, Lin Xichi found that he had also made a lot of notes before.

Clear and sharp handwriting, neat and dense.

In his state, Lin Xichi could also think of what he was like when he was in other classes.

Lin Xi paused, suddenly put down the pen in his hand and grabbed his left hand, playing with his fingers as if he was teasing him.

Without raising his eyes, Xu Fang subconsciously held it back, grabbed a few of her fingers, and fixed it firmly.

The difference in strength between the two is too great.

Lin Xichi was completely unable to move, so he stretched out his other hand and broke his fingers one by one. When she broke off the fifth finger, Xu Fang held it again at the same time.

Repeatedly, again and again.

Lin Xichi's patience is exceptionally good. After breaking four or five times in a row, he still looks very interested. She was about to wait for Xu Fang to hold it, and when she asked her to break for the sixth time, he suddenly stopped moving.

She looked up.

Xu Fang's eyebrows were frowning, his eyes were dark and quiet, and his lips were stretched straight. It looked as if he was affected by her, and he looked unhappy.

"no kidding."

Lin Xi blinked, just about to say something.

Before she could say it, Xu Fang's eyebrows stretched out, and her tone was vindictive.

"I am more interested in learning than you."

"..."
