out of print lover

At the end of the year, there was a heavy snowfall in Jinling.

Jinling has not seen such heavy snow for a long time. The snow fell the night before, and the curtains were opened the next morning. The big trees in the community were covered with a thick layer of snow, and even the branches were bent.

Lin Xing had already had the winter vacation and was still sleeping under the covers. Zhou Xiaohui called her, "Lin Xing, Lin Xing! Did you see the outside? There's so much snow! Let's go out and play in the snow together!"

"Is it snowing?" Lin Xing went to the window to look, and it was snowing, and the whiteness outside was dazzling.

Lin Xing doesn't like snow.

She was born in a southern county, and there will be a few light snowfalls during the coldest period of four or nine days, which is only enough to cover the ground with a layer of hoarfrost, but it is already so cold that people are shivering, causing her to suffer from chilblains once a year.

The taste was unpleasant, and if you didn't scratch it, it would itch deeply, and when you scratched it, you would roll in pain. Lin Xing was afraid when he thought about it, so he raised his hand and looked at the back of his palm carefully. Fortunately, there was no recurrence this year.

"I'm afraid of the cold, so I don't go out." Lin Xing said.

"Ah? You don't go for such a good opportunity? It's the first time I've seen such a big snow. If you don't go, I'll find someone else?"

"It's too cold, I'm sorry, Xiaohui."

"Okay, then Feng Yu and I will go play in the snow." Zhou Xiaohui hung up the phone in disappointment.

Putting down the phone, Lin Xing didn't intend to go back to sleep, brushed his teeth, washed his face, changed his clothes, and went out to have breakfast.

"Xiao Xing, why did you get up so early today?" The nanny was talking to her while serving the buns and soy milk to the dining table.

"Just now Xiaohui asked me to go out to play, and I woke up." Lin Xing broke the bun in half, ate the stuffing first, and then dipped the remaining bun skin into soy milk to eat, "Auntie, when do you leave Wanwan?"

"How do I know? Ms. Xu has already gone out when I arrived at 06:30." The nanny sighed, "They are young, they work hard, and they are busy day and night. I came early the day before yesterday and saw her , seems to be a little thinner than before, and if this continues, the body must be broken."

After hearing this, Lin Xing was so worried that he couldn't even eat breakfast.

The nanny knew that she had said something wrong, so she hurried to make amends, "But Xiaoxing, don't worry too much, young people, how can you not be busy with work? My nephew is so busy that he doesn't even come home. He can't wait to sleep in the company. Isn't it fine now? Miss Xu is in good health, and she will be fine."

No matter how good her body is, she can't stand Xu Xiwan's torment. When she is the busiest, she even only sleeps for two or three hours a day, and eats a cup of coffee as a meal. Even after she comes back, she takes a bath before going to bed. Lin Xing You can smell the faint smell of smoke on her body.

Once Xu Xi came back a little earlier at night, Lin Xing was still up, waiting for her to take a shower and go to bed, hugged her arm and said: "Wanwan, smoking is not good."

Lin Xing loves to read books. The book says that smoking is harmful to health, and in the nature class, the teacher showed them the difference between the lungs of smokers and the lungs of healthy people. Those lungs that have been damaged are densely packed. Lin Xing felt terrified at the sight of the black spots, she was very afraid that Xu Xiwan would also suffer from such a disease.

"Did you smell it?" Xu Xiwan raised her hand and smelled it herself. It seemed that there was a smell of smoke that she hadn't cleaned off. She thought it was because Lin Xing was not used to the smell of smoke, so she said, "I'll go wash it off."

Of course Xu Xiwan knows the harm of smoking, but she is too busy now and has too many things on her mind. The company, the Xu family, and Xu Xing'an are stumbling her again recently. Xu Xiwan couldn't stop thinking about it even when she was sleeping. Without coffee and cigarettes, it was impossible for her to maintain a high level of concentration for nearly twenty hours a day.

Xu Xiwan thought that Lin Xing hated the smell of her body. Most of the time when she came back, Lin Xing was already asleep, so she simply washed it in the bathroom outside, and slept directly in Lin Xing's small bedroom before him, fearing that Lin Xing would smell the smoke again. I don't like it.

So Lin Xing woke up for many consecutive days, and couldn't even find the only remaining crease and residual warmth on the bed sheet. Xu Xiwan seemed to have never been back.

Lin Xing felt empty in her heart, so that night, she deliberately stayed up all night, waiting for Xu Xi to come back late.

Xu Xi dragged her tired body home at three o'clock in the morning. When she opened the door, she saw that the light in her bedroom was still on. Lin Xing came out wearing plush slippers, rubbed her eyes and said, "Wanwan, you are back."

"Xiao Xing?" Xu Xiwan pinched the bridge of his nose, "What time is it, why are you still awake?"

"I want to wait for you."

"Didn't I say that I will be busy during this time, let Xiaoxing not wait for me, and go to bed first?"

"But...but I want to wait for Wanwan..." Lin Xing lowered her head, her ears turned red, "Mr. Zhang praised me today, I want Wanwan to reward me with...a kiss..." She She knows a lot more than before, and she is no longer the ignorant little girl two years ago, who took the initiative to ask Xu Xiwan for a kiss, which was a shameful thing for her.

Teacher Xiao Zhang is the piano teacher Xu Xiwan found for Lin Xing. Xu Xiwan can't find time to teach Lin Xing to play the piano now. Lin Xing wants to continue learning that piece of music. When the teacher came to teach, he could also teach Lin Xing some basic music theory knowledge, wouldn't it be much better than Lin Xing who only followed him to press a few black and white keys.

Xu Xiwan wiped his face, shook off his tired face, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I can reward a kiss."

Lin Xing heard this, and ran towards her happily, but she took a step back to avoid it, Lin Xing looked at her puzzled.

Xu Xiwan said: "I have a smell on my body, I'll take a shower first."

"But I like the smell of night."

Xu Xiwan was rarely cramped, his eyes slightly embarrassed, "It's the smell of cigarettes."

"I like the smell of cigarettes too!" Lin Xing hugged Xu Xiwan's thigh, laughing silly, and looked up at her, "As long as it's the smell of Wanwan, I like it."

"Don't you like the smell of cigarettes?"

"I don't like the smell of cigarettes." Lin Xing shook her head. When she lived with her uncle's family, she used to smoke every day. "But smoking is not good. I'm afraid I'll get sick later."

Xu Xiwan bent down and hugged her with a smile, "I won't get sick, even for Xiao Xing, I can't get sick either."

"Then can you quit smoking?"

"Not yet."

"why?"

"I have one more important thing to do right now."

Lin Xing was puzzled, "Is it more important than Wan Wan's health?"

She was still young, so Xu Xiwan didn't know how to explain it to her, so he just said: "I promise Xiaoxing, after finishing this important matter, I will quit smoking immediately, okay?"

"Well...then you are done, you must tell me."

Xu Xiwan smiled and kissed her on the forehead, "Got it, my little housekeeper."

But Xu Xiwan was so busy with this "important matter" that there was no end to it. Except for the one or two days off that Xu Xiwan specially set aside every once in a while to accompany Lin Xing, there was almost no other leisure time. Fortunately, Xu Xiwan is still busy after being promoted from the second grade to the third grade and then to the fourth grade.

"Wanwan, haven't you finished that important thing yet?"

"almost."

Every time Lin Xing asked this question, Xu Xiwan said that it was coming soon, how long was it going to be soon?Maybe even Xu Xiwan himself didn't know.

Lin Xingnian was just ten years old when she was in the fourth grade, and she suddenly had an additional worry—less than a month after school started, one day when she returned to the classroom after physical education get out of class, she found a love letter in the desk drawer.

The light pink envelope only wrote the three words "Lin Xingshou", and a heart pattern was drawn on the back. The words are not very pretty, and Lin Xing's "lucky" character was almost written as hard "Xin". Visible traces of alteration.

Lin Xing loved reading since he was a child. He read "One Hundred Thousand Whys", "Encyclopedia", Shakespeare and Tagore.She has not yet reached the age to understand love, so she read it half-understood, and felt that the story of Romeo and Juliet was far less interesting than Doraemon, and also felt that the sentence "Three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of plumbing ducks in the spring river" was more interesting than the so-called The distance of "the furthest in the world" is very interesting.So when she saw this letter, her first reaction was that someone was playing a prank on her, so she turned to Feng Yu and asked, "Feng Yu, did you do this?"

Seeing the pink envelope, Feng Yu's face changed, "Are you sick? This looks like a love letter. I want to write a love letter for a boy. Why write a love letter for a girl like you? Nervous!"

"I thought you were messing with me on purpose. I just wanted to ask, why are you reacting so strongly?" Lin Xing was puzzled, suddenly rolled his eyes, thought of something, moved closer to Feng Yu, and put his arm on her shoulder, "Oh—— —I see, did you really write the same letter to someone?”

"Get out! I don't hear anything out of the window, and I only read the books of sages. I still want to take the first middle school exam. Don't talk nonsense!" Although Feng Yu said so, Lin Xing noticed that the tips of her ears were a little red, obviously I'm shy.

Lin Xing hasn't gotten the hang of it yet, but he also knows that after entering the fourth grade, many things will become different from before. In addition to officially becoming a member of the "senior grade", there is also a "Health Education Reader" in the textbooks distributed. 》, even the class teacher's arrangement of seats is not like in the past. Boys and boys share the same table, and girls and girls share the same table. Lin Xing's deskmate is Feng Yu.

At first, Lin Xing still couldn't understand, "Teacher Zhao arranges the seats like this, isn't he afraid that we will secretly gossip in class and not pay attention to the class?"

"Do you think boys and girls don't talk small things at the same table? It's even worse." Feng Yu squinted at her, "It's more serious when boys and girls are whispering together. Teacher Zhao is preventing us from falling in love early."

"Could it be possible to prevent puppy love if boys and boys share the same table, and girls and girls share the same table?"

"Of course not. As far as I know, Lin Dazhuang is very interested in Chen Lin, who is in the next class. As long as he wants to fall in love, let alone a few seats away, there are plenty of opportunities in every class and age. Teacher Zhao is showing us that she is The attitude of resolutely opposing puppy love and strictly guarding against it."

Lin Xing didn't mean that. Although Lin Xing still thinks that love is a boring thing, she didn't think about it at all. What she wanted to express was, isn't the teacher afraid of falling in love between two boys or girls?But she herself felt that this idea was too divorced from the public, and even if she said it, she would be classified as a wild idea, so she kept her doubts in her heart and said "forget it".

"Hey, what is this?" Zhou Xiaohui appeared behind Lin Xing at some point, and suddenly pulled the pink envelope out of Lin Xing's hand, "Haha! Lin Xing received a love letter! Come on, Feng Yu, tell the teacher immediately go!"

Ever since Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui became friends, "sue the teacher" has become a difficult stalk, always reminding Feng Yu of the dark history of his childhood.

Feng Yu became angry from embarrassment, "Zhou Xiaohui! I think you need to clean up again?"

"Just kidding." Zhou Xiaohui tore open the envelope, took out the letter, opened it, and said disgustedly: "This word is really ugly, and there are many typos, tsk tsk, Lin Xing, this man is not very good... Shi Talented? Hey, isn't this the grassroots of Class [-], Grade [-]?"

Feng Yu raised his eyebrows, "You know him?"

"Of course I know him. He's on our school's basketball team. Am I not on the cheerleading team? I went to cheer him on last time in the city's basketball game. It's said that many girls in his class like him. Lin Xing, you're good enough." Ah, let me tell you, he's handsome, really!"

Lin Xing had no interest in what this person looked like, he was just curious, "Isn't he in the sixth grade, how could he know me?"

"Lin Xing, I'm not talking about you. Excessive modesty can become pride."

How could you not know him?There are probably not many people in the school who don't know Lin Xing!Ever since she hosted a New Year's party in the first grade, and she was witty to save the day, she has been the host of various large-scale events in the school every year, and it has become a tradition in Experimental Primary School. Students from other schools know her. After the National Day Gala last time, there were several posts on the Post|Bar of Experimental Primary School, all of which were students from other schools asking, who is this girl who can host and play the piano? Contact information.

"...It's too exaggerated." Lin Xing was stunned. She was picked up by the driver when she went to school. Except for Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui, who were good friends, she didn't have much contact with outsiders. After returning home, she just read, wrote, and played the piano. As for the outside world, I just feel that Zhou Xiaohui likes to exaggerate, and she doesn't know what to say.

"Where is the exaggeration, let me tell you, just yesterday..."

"Zhou Xiaohui, the math homework of the whole class has been handed in, and it's up to you. When are you going to hand it in?" Feng Yu interrupted Zhou Xiaohui's chatter.

Zhou Xiaohui was stunned, "It's over, it's over! The next period is math class! Hurry up, Feng Yu, lend me your math homework, it's an emergency!" She rummaged around to catch up with her math homework.

Lin Xing said to Feng Yu, "Do you feel that Xiaohui is becoming more and more gossip?"

Feng Yu glanced at Zhou Xiaohui several times before saying, "Don't pay attention to her." Then he asked, "What are you going to do with this letter?"

"Well... just pretend you didn't see it."

"Didn't Zhou Xiaohui say he was handsome?"

"But Teacher Zhao said that we should focus all our energy on studying. Besides, falling in love seems to be very troublesome." Lin Xing has read many famous books. In the books, all people who fall in love seem to have no good ending in the end. Either you die or I live, "By the way, the proprietress of the cold drink shop told me yesterday that a new product is coming out, do you want to eat it?"

Feng Yu thought, people tend to become more mature as they get older, so why rush Lin Xing to become more heartless as he gets older?But she still said, "Eat."

Feng Yu's father started a small business three years ago, and now his family is much better off than before. He has pocket money in his pocket, which is not only enough for his own expenses, but also saves some money to buy Lin Xing and Feng Yu to eat occasionally.

"I'll go too!" Zhou Xiaohui, who was rushing to do homework, heard this, and raised her hand to ask to join, "Feng Yu, I invite you to repay your kindness for saving my life." She raised the math homework book in her hand.

Feng Yu's cheeks were a little hot, he said "whatever you want" indiscriminately, and looked down at the book.

Lin Xing blinked, thinking blankly, it seems that after the fourth grade, everyone started to become weird.

As a result, after school, there was no cold drink, and Lin Xing was blocked at the school gate by the boy who delivered the love letter.

The boy put one hand in the pocket of his school trousers and stood in front of Lin Xing, "Lin Xing, did you read the letter I wrote to you?"

"Are you Shi Caijun?" Lin Xing looked up at him. The boy was quite tall, he looked to be around 1.7 meters tall. He stood out from the group of elementary school students. No wonder he was on the basketball team.

Zhou Xiaohui whispered in Lin Xing's ear, "Yes, that's him, isn't he handsome?"

Lin Xing didn't know whether he was handsome or not. She and Xu Xiwan lived together for a long time, and Xu Xiwan's aesthetics were pushed too high by Xu Xiwan. She was not as good-looking as Xu Xiwan. In Lin Xing's eyes, she was just an ordinary person.

"So you've already read that letter." Shi Caijun nodded confidently, "Let's go then. Tonight is our first date. I've made arrangements. Let's go to the movies." He even tried to pull Lin Xing's arm.

Lin Xing was startled, and hastily stepped back a few steps. When he stepped back, he caught a glimpse of the black mud under his fingernails, and felt nauseated in his heart.

"Why, you still don't want to?" Shi Caijun was very surprised, "There are so many girls who want to date me, why don't you want to?"

Lin Xing frowned, wondering if Zhou Xiaohui's aesthetics had gone astray, such a boy is also called handsome?

"We have already made an appointment to eat together." Feng Yu said, "This classmate, please move out of the way."

"Eat, that's better. Anyway, I'm hungry too. Let's go. I'll treat you." Shi Caijun went too far this time, and even stretched his arms to hug Lin Xing's shoulders, "Lin Xing, I just want to see Yours..." His unspoken words were replaced by a scream, it turned out to be an umbrella that unceremoniously knocked on the arm he stretched out to Lin Xing.

"Wanwan!" Lin Xing jumped up happily, trotted into Xu Xiwan's arms, "Why are you here, aren't you busy?"

"You can relax for a while." Xu Xiwan opened his arms to catch her, and said with a smile, "I told the driver, I'll pick you up during this time."

"Great!" Lin Xing smiled with crooked eyes, "Then I won't go eat ice cream with Feng Yu and the others, shall we go home?"

"Wait for a while." Xu Xiwan let go of Lin Xing, took her hand instead, looked at the boy beside him who was still crying with his arms folded, and his tone was obviously cold, "Which class are you in and what's your name?" ?”

"What do you call me! You bully the small and beat others, I... I... I want to tell my mother!"

"You harassed my child, I have the right to tell the principal about this and let him deal with it."

As soon as he told the principal, Shi Caijun hesitated immediately, "Tell, just tell! Who is afraid of you! I...you broke my arm, I...I want to tell the principal too! I'm on the school basketball team, Can you afford to pay for a broken arm? You...you wait!" After speaking, he ran away without a trace.

Feng Yu turned to look at Zhou Xiaohui, "...do you still think he is handsome now?"

Zhou Xiaohui said disappointedly: "Damn, why are you so cowardly? Two hundred and five."

Xu Xiwan chuckled, "It's okay, are you going to eat ice? Let's go, I invite you."

"Great! Now you can eat with your stomach open! Thank you sister Xu!"

Feng Yu despised her, "I just know how to eat, what a fool."

"Cut! I didn't see you take a bite?"

Bickering back to bickering, after the cold drink was served, Feng Yu still picked the strawberries on his ice cream into Zhou Xiaohui's bowl, "I don't like strawberries, so here are you."

Zhou Xiaohui picked up strawberries with a fork and put them in her mouth. The cold, sour and sweet taste permeated her mouth, and her eyes were so delicious that she narrowed her eyes. "Then you really don't know how to enjoy strawberries. How delicious are strawberries? Delicious fruit!"

"big eater."

"Humph!"

Lin Xing was weak and couldn't eat too much cold food, so he and Xu Xiwan only ordered a cup to share. Xu Xiwan stared at her not to eat more, while teasing Feng Yu, "You two have such a good relationship."

Feng Yu turned her head to look out the window, and said uncomfortably, "Who has a good relationship with her."

Xu Xiwan thought, children nowadays are really precocious.

After eating ice, he sent the two children home first, Xu Xiwan took Lin Xing back home, and after returning home, Xu Xiwan said: "Why didn't you tell me about that boy?"

"It just happened today, and I didn't know about it before." Lin Xing said aggrievedly: "He sent me a letter at some time in the morning, and stopped me at the school gate in the afternoon to prevent me from leaving. I really didn’t know before, I didn’t deliberately not tell you.”

"Okay, I get it." Xu Xiwan patted her head and smiled softly, "It's not your fault, it's the one who made our Xiaoxing look good that people miss her."

Xu Xiwan lamented that Lin Xing was only ten years old this year, and a little boy had already come to confess his love. When she grew into a slim girl, he didn't know what to worry about.

Lin Xing thought that Xu Xiwan was worried about his puppy love, so he hurriedly said, "Wanwan, don't worry, I won't fall in love early!"

Xu Xi knew she had misunderstood, and said with a smile, "Does Xiaoxing like someone?"

"I just like late nights."

Xu Xiwan laughed, knowing that she misunderstood the meaning of his words, but since Lin Xing didn't understand this, Xu Xiwan didn't want to explain to her prematurely, a child's innocence is really rare, Xu Xiwan was reluctant to let her grow up. big.

"Are all boys so annoying?" Lin Xing asked.

"It's not all like this. There are good and bad. When you grow up, you will naturally understand when you meet a boy you like and think is good."

But can girls only like boys?This question floated up from the bottom of Lin Xing's heart again, she looked at Xu Xiwan, but finally didn't ask it.
