One week after Lin Xing started school, Xu Xiwan was going on a business trip.

This was a plan that was set up years ago. In fact, it was going to go two weeks earlier. I was just busy with Lin Xing's schooling. It dragged on until March. It is impossible not to go.

Xu Xiwan was worried about Lin Xing, so before the business trip, she specially told the nanny to leave later after finishing dinner every day, so that she could spend more time with Lin Xing.Xu Xiwan didn't have any acquaintances in Jinling, and it was difficult to find someone who could take care of Lin Xing for her for a few days, so she had to remind Lin Xing over and over before leaving that she must lock the door before going to bed at night. Also lock the bedroom door; tell her to obediently wait for the driver to pick her up when she goes to school in the morning and after school in the afternoon, and never talk to strangers; tell her not to watch too much TV, and to drink all the milk every morning and evening... In short, whatever Xu Xiwan could think of, no matter how big or small, he had to explain it clearly to Lin Xing, and asked Lin Xing to repeat it to make sure she listened carefully before giving up.

Just like that, Xu Xi was still very nervous when he left late, and called Lin Xing as soon as he got off the plane to make sure that she was fine.

It happened to be Saturday, and Lin Xing was immersed in her homework. When the phone rang, she jumped off her chair and ran to the living room to answer it. The microphone was bigger than her face. She pointed the receiver to her ear and said solemnly: "Hi, This is the home of Xu Xiwan and Lin Xing."

Xu Xiwan was in another city more than 1000 kilometers away. Hearing Lin Xing's sonorous voice, Lin Xing's deliberately serious expression appeared in front of his eyes. He couldn't help smiling, "Xiao Xing, it's me."

"Wanwan?" Lin Xing raised his voice immediately, "Have you got off the plane?"

"Just got off."

"Is it cold over there? Just after you left, it rained a lot in Jinling. It's cold. Remember to put on more clothes every night, so you don't catch a cold!"

"Understood, little housekeeper." Xu Xiwan responded with a smile, "It's not cold here, in a southern city, the sun is very good, and the air is also good."

Lin Xing asked, "Have you seen the sea?"

Before Xu Xiwan left, Lin Xing found out the city she was going to. Lin Xing was still illiterate, so he asked Xu Xiwan to read the brief introduction of the city she was going to. Lin Xing longed for the sea there.

Lin Xing has only seen the sea on TV. It is said that the sea is very big and wide, with no end in sight, and very blue. The sky is blue, and the water is blue. Lin Xing just imagined it, and he felt that it was extremely beautiful.

"I see." Xu Xiwan replied.

Lin Xing was very envious, "That's great."

Xu Xiwan said: "The coast here is very short and not very beautiful. When you are on summer vacation, I will take you to see the real sea."

"Don't lie to anyone at night!"

"I never lie to anyone, besides, to lie..."

"Liar is a puppy!" Lin Xing and Xu Xiwan said in unison, and laughed at the same time.

Xu Xiwan asked some more about Lin Xing's situation at home alone, and chatted all the way until he arrived at the destination, then told Lin Xing that he was going to be busy, and closed the line.

It's rare for a secretary to see her boss so meticulous and mother-in-law. If she didn't know that Xu Xiwan was single, she might think it was Xu Xiwan's child who called.The secretary was really curious and asked Xu Xiwan, "Mr. Xu, is it really your daughter?"

Xu Xiwan only said: "My friend's child."

The secretary didn't know what kind of friend could make Xu Xiwan so interested, but seeing the demeanor of the vice president Xu, it was obvious that he didn't want to talk more, and the secretary couldn't ask any further questions.

Xu Xiwan will stay in this southern city near the sea for at least a week. During this week, no matter how busy she is, she will find time to give Lin Xing a call.Sometimes it was too late to go back to the hotel because of entertainment, so she sent a Q|Q message to ask if Lin Xing was asleep, if she didn't reply, it meant that Lin Xing was already asleep, and Xu Xiwan would not bother her anymore.

At this time, smart phones have not yet emerged, and the computer version of Q|Q does not support short voices. Lin Xing learned to use Q|Q, but did not learn to read, but because Xu Xi was late, the three words "have you slept?" She remembered it very clearly, as if it was engraved in her mind, sometimes she couldn't wait for a call from Xu Xiwan for a day, so she had to stay in front of the computer even if she didn't sleep at night, waiting for Xu Xiwan to send her a message.

As soon as she received Xu Xiwan's message, Lin Xing would follow what Xu Xiwan taught her, and click on the round, eye-like symbol on the screen to have a video chat with Xu Xiwan and hear Xu Xiwan's voice. voice, and Xu Xiwan's face can also be seen.

During the first video, Lin Xing and Xu Xiwan lamented that the person who invented this method is really smart. With this small button, the person who misses it can see it no matter where it is.When she said this, she was lying in front of the table excitedly, her face was almost on the screen, Xu Xiwan could only see the top of her head from the camera, but it did not prevent Xu Xiwan from directly feeling her curiosity about this communication method .

"But..." Lin Xing smacked his lips regretfully, propping his chin with both hands, "I can see but I can't touch it."

Xu Xiwan laughed.

Since Lin Xing's arrival, Xu Xiwan's smiles have also increased. This little doll seems to have magical powers. Just saying something stupid can put Xu Xiwan in a good mood.

"Wanwan, come back soon."

Less than two days after Xu Xi left, Lin Xing already started to miss her.

Xu Xiwan said, "Okay."

When Xu Xiwan really finished his work and returned to Jinling, it was already ten days later.The original estimated time was later, but Xu Xiwan asked the secretary to advance all the schedules that could be moved to the front row, shorten the rest time as much as possible, and hurry up, and finally finished all the work here on the tenth day. The fastest flight back to Jinling was just in time to pick up Lin Xing from school.

Xu Xiwan told Lin Xing that the return date was two days late, and she wanted to surprise Lin Xing.

Xu Xiwan told the driver that she didn't need to pick up Lin Xing from school today. She drove the car to the side of the road opposite the school early and waited, her eyes fixed on the school gate.

Children in preschool leave school earlier than other children, and Lin Xing is in class one, always the first to leave school, even though she is small and inconspicuous among the children, Xu Xiwan can always spot her at a glance.

As soon as Lin Xing came out today, Xu Xiwan found that something was wrong with her.

Lin Xing followed at the end of a group of children, and walked forward with her head buried. Because she was a little behind, the head teacher who was walking next to the line was impatient, and even gave Lin Xing a hard push. A bicycle happened to pass by her, although The cyclist braked in time, but Lin Xing still hit the front wheel of the bicycle.

The cyclist touched the ground with his toes, bent down and said something to Lin Xing, probably asking if Lin Xing was injured, but Lin Xing didn't dare to speak, so he stood up quickly, covered his forehead, looked at the class teacher in fear, and turned back. At the end of the line, keep your head down and follow the people in front closely, not daring to fall behind.

When Xu Xiwan saw Lin Xing walking at the end of the line with his head bowed, his heart ached so badly, and when he saw the teacher pushing Lin Xing, Lin Xing might have injured his forehead, he was worried and angry, and he was furious. He jumped up, got out of the car immediately, slammed the car door, and strode towards the school gate.

When Xu Xiwan arrived at the school gate, the head teacher was leading the group of children to wait for the traffic lights on the side of the road. Xu Xiwan called out "Xiao Xing".

Lin Xing raised his head, still covering his forehead with his hand, and seeing Xu Xiwan, his eyes lit up, and he wanted to run towards her, but just as his legs came out, she seemed to have thought of something, looked up at the head teacher, then shrank back, Standing at the end of the line, I dare not make a sound.

When the head teacher saw Xu Xiwan, his face changed suddenly, the viciousness that pushed Lin Xing just now was gone, and he greeted Xu Xiwan with a smile on his face, "Ah, it's sister Lin Xing, are you here to pick up Lin Xing?" Right? Hurry up, come here, Lin Xing, go back with your sister, remember to do your homework on time, you know?" She said, waving at Lin Xing with an amiable smile, not the same person as before.

Lin Xing stood for a while before slowly walking over, holding Xu Xiwan's hand and standing beside her, the homeroom teacher smiled and said to Xu Xiwan: "Sister Lin Xing, I don't worry if you come to pick up Lin Xing, I will There are so many students here who need to be taken care of, so I won’t talk to you.”

"Please wait a moment." Xu Xiwan's pupils were dark, no emotion could be seen on his face, and his voice was low: "Teacher, can we talk alone?"

The head teacher showed a little impatience on his face, "Sister Lin Xing, I still have so many students here, how can I talk to you alone? Parents, please be considerate of our teacher's hard work?"

Xu Xiwan smiled softly, there was no warmth in the smile.

Such a young woman only smiled lightly, but the head teacher felt creepy.There was a little cold pity in Xu Xiwan's eyes, it didn't look like he was looking at a living person.

The head teacher took a step back subconsciously, only now did he realize that the situation might be more serious than he imagined, so he didn't dare to look at Xu Xiwan, and turned around to tell the deputy head teacher who was traveling with him to take care of the students. When he turned back, his attitude was much better than before, "Lin Sister Xing, what do you want to talk about? You want to know about Lin Xing's situation at school, right? Lin Xing is a very good kid, and he reassures us as teachers... Uh, why don't we go to my office and have a good chat?"

Xu Xiwan tapped his chin lightly, his expression was as cold as ice, and he didn't say a word.She is a born superior, she is used to being flattered by others, and she doesn't care about the change in the head teacher's attitude, but Lin Xing can't adapt to it.

Except for the first meeting, Lin Xing hadn't seen such a cold Xu Xiwan for a long time. She didn't understand why the always gentle Xu Xiwan suddenly became like this, and she also didn't understand why the always vicious head teacher suddenly became kind .

Lin Xing held Xu Xiwan's hand tightly and moved closer to her.

Lin Xing was very scared. She had a premonition that something bad might happen, so she pulled Xu Xiwan and begged, "Wanwan, let's go home, I'm hungry."

Xu Xiwan lowered his head and looked at Lin Xing.

Sure enough, Lin Xing was scratched by the bicycle, and there was a thin line of blood on his forehead. Lin Xing's skin was already white, and the blood mark on his forehead became more obvious.

Lin Xing also looked up at her, and said again, "Go home Wanwan, I'm hungry." Looking up at Xu Xiwan with big eyes, plus the injury on his forehead, he was very pitiful.

The head teacher stood by, too guilty to say a word, with cold sweat on his forehead.

Xu Xiwan finally raised his head, looked at the trembling head teacher again, nodded slightly, and smiled apologetically, "Then teacher, I took Lin Xing back first, I'm really sorry for wasting your time."

A very elegant and decent smile, even a slight bow of the head is very reserved, but it makes people feel cold.

"Okay...okay!" The homeroom teacher heaved a sigh of relief and nodded his head, "It's okay, it's okay! Then you go back first, be careful on the road, and see you later!"

But in the next sentence, Xu Xiwan added: "I will come to your office at eight o'clock tomorrow. I hope you and the principal can be there on time. Sorry for the trouble."

Although the words are polite, they are completely in the usual commanding tone, and the head teacher is not allowed to refuse at all.

After Xu Xiwan finished saying this sentence, he took Lin Xing and left without looking back.

When they walked away, the head teacher straightened his back and spat in the direction they were leaving: "What are you pretending to be, and you don't even look at yourself!"
