When Lin Xing was ten years old, a major event happened in Jinling that shocked the whole city—the Xu family mansion was about to collapse overnight, and was rescued by the young illegitimate daughter by herself.

This case can be included in textbooks. In that year, the topics of conversation among men, women and children in Jinling could never avoid the current young head of the Xu family.

Even Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui watched Xu Xiwan's talk show on the news channel several times. Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui discussed quietly. They knew that Lin Xing's family was rich, but they didn't expect to be so rich.

Human beings are born with class divisions, and class is a strict barrier that keeps people of the same class together, and when a low class encounters a high class, they always look up and stay away unconsciously.

For a while, Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui seemed to be separated from Lin Xing by a wall, and they didn't deliberately alienate them, but the relationship with Lin Xing became weaker and weaker, and they would never call Lin Xing even to watch movies and eat ice cream together. fortunate.

Lin Xing thought that she had done something wrong and made Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui sad. She thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so she had the cheek to approach them and invite them to go out to play or eat together.

"No, no, no." Zhou Xiaohui shook her head like a rattle, and refused embarrassingly, "Feng Yu and I have made an appointment to review homework at her house this weekend, as you know, we want to take the No. [-] middle school exam together."

Lin Xing was full of anticipation, blinked his eyes and asked her, "Can I go together?"

"Ah? This..." Zhou Xiaohui glanced around, thinking about how to refuse, and finally had to hide it with a haha, "Hahaha...you...you can ask Feng Yu! After all, it is her house, and I don't I can promise her for her, right? Then what, the next Chinese class, Teacher Zhao asked me to go to her office to help her move homework, I'll go first, I won't tell you anymore."

After Zhou Xiaohui finished speaking, she rubbed the soles of her feet with oil and slipped away without a trace.

Look, it's not my illusion, my two best friends, for some inexplicable reason, gradually exclude themselves from their small world

Lin Xing was a little depressed. She lay on her seat without speaking, and absent-mindedly played with her pen.

"What's the matter? You're depressed." Feng Yu came back from the toilet, his hands were still wet, and he took out two paper towels from the drawer to wipe his hands, and saw Lin Xing's head was limp, like an eggplant beaten by frost , asked casually.

"Feng Yu." Lin Xing felt a little fluke hope in her heart, she sat up straight again, pulled herself together, and asked again, "Xiaohui said that you have an appointment to review homework together on the weekend, can I go together? "

Feng Yu froze in the movement of wiping her hands, her face was obviously a little unnatural, she turned her head away and said, "Ah...you want to go too..."

This tone made Lin Xing's heart sink.

She stared at Feng Yu's face, puzzled and sad: "Can't I go?"

"It's not that I can't go, it's just...just..." Such sadness and innocence made Feng Yu feel guilty, she rubbed the back of her neck for a long time, and finally found a reason, "Since my mother gave birth to my younger brother, My house is very noisy, and my house is very small, and there is no writing desk, so I can only sit on the ground and write on the coffee table, you are definitely not used to it..."

Lin Xing fiddled with the water-based pen that was almost out of ink in her hand, her eyelashes flickered, and quietly listened to the reason that Feng Yu finally found out after racking his brains.

"I see." The faint flame of hope in her heart was completely extinguished by a basin of cold water, she picked the cap of her pen, and said softly, "Then you study hard, and I won't bother you."

Lin Xing was very sad, her heart was full of breath, she couldn't get up and down, she couldn't figure out what she had done to make Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui start to stay away from her at the same time, there was not even a bit of buffer room. Not staying, not even a hint, made her unable to change even if she wanted to.

Lin Xing is a person who is used to taking all the faults on herself. This is the character that she has cultivated in her childhood experience, and it is difficult to change. When anything happens, the first thing she thinks of is why others are angry, and whether it is something about herself. The place is not doing well and offended others?

Such a character is easy to get stuck in the horns and cannot extricate himself. Lin Xing couldn't eat during that time, Xu Xiwan was worried about her unsatisfactory life in school, and asked her several times if something unpleasant happened in school.

"No." Lin Xing is no longer like when she was a child. She had to tell Xu Xiwan about the big and small things in school. She was writing her homework, and the tip of her pen paused. Incongruous ink dots.

"Usually you can eat a whole bowl of rice for dinner, and you can eat half a bowl more when you meet your favorite dishes, but these days, you only eat less than half a bowl every day. Today you have your favorite grilled eel, but you can't even eat it." You didn't even touch the chopsticks." Xu Xiwan took out the pen in Lin Xing's hand, and lifted Lin Xing's chin, "Xiao Xing, I know you've grown up now, and you don't want to tell me many things, but do you want to But, I'm worried."

Lin Xing's jaw rested on Xu Xiwan's fingertips, and she raised her head with the support of her fingers. Her heart was full of grievances and puzzlement. She met Xu Xiwan's eyes, blinked, and there was a layer of water vapor in her eye sockets. The thin eyelashes are also wet.

Xu Xiwan was defeated just by this expression of extreme aggrievedness. He couldn't bear to criticize Lin Xing any more, and his tone softened a lot.

She took out a close-fitting handkerchief, pressed it against the corners of Lin Xing's eyes, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Xiao Xing, I am very worried about you."

"Wanwan, Feng Yu and Xiaohui don't play with me anymore, and I don't have any friends anymore." Lin Xing's soft voice was slightly hoarse after sobs.

"Then have you asked them why?"

"No." Lin Xing said, "I dare not."

Xu Xiwan wiped away the tears from the corners of Lin Xing's eyes, "Do you need my help?"

Lin Xing said, "I want to solve it myself."

Lin Xing is no longer the little Douding who only dared to hide in Xu Xiwan's arms in the past. She can't always think of relying on Xu Xiwan, at least she can't even try to have Xu Xiwan's help in making friends, teacher As I said, do your own thing.

"Xiao Xing has really grown up." Xu Xiwan smiled gratifiedly, and felt a little bit secretly disappointed in his heart.

Xu Xiwan thought back to the past, when Lin Xing was very young, when he was wronged, he always hid in his arms and cried, his small body could be hugged with one hand, and his shoulders trembled against Xu Xiwan's shoulder bones. Trembling, weak and cute.

Now, this little girl has learned to solve problems by herself, and there is less and less need for Xu Xiwan to intervene in her life.

Xu Xiwan shouldn't interfere with children's friendship, she should believe that Lin Xing has the ability to solve this matter, but Xu Xiwan still quietly settles it for her in a place where Lin Xing can't see.

That day Lin Xing was going to have a piano lesson, Xu Xiwan asked Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui out alone, and asked them why they didn't want to be friends with Lin Xing again, and whether Lin Xing offended them by accident.

"That's not the case, sister Xu, Lin Xing is very nice." Feng Yu didn't want her friend to be misunderstood, so she took the initiative to defend Lin Xing.

"So you don't like Lin Xing?" Xu Xiwan asked.

Zhou Xiaohui rushed to answer, "No! Sister Xu, we like Lin Xing very much! Otherwise, it would be impossible to be friends with her for so long."

"Then why do you alienate Lin Xing? Can you give me a reason?" Xu Xiwan sighed, "I know that you are all good boys, and you will not alienate friends for no reason. You probably don't know that Xiaoxing is very sad these days. I can't even eat."

After hearing this, the two little girls looked at each other and lowered their heads in shame. After a long time, Feng Yu mustered up the courage to say, "We...we are afraid that Lin Xing will dislike us and stop playing with us."

"Why does she dislike you?"

"Because your family is very rich." Zhou Xiaohui muttered while twisting her clothes, "Sister Xu, don't think I don't know, your family is very powerful. My mother said that your family's money would never be spent in a few lifetimes. My mother also said, Children from rich families don't bother to play with children like us."

"But our family is not rich now, our family has always been so rich." Xu Xiwan didn't get angry when he heard Zhou Xiaohui's words, but only smiled slightly, "If Lin Xing despised you, he wouldn't be with you from the beginning. Be friends, right?"

Zhou Xiaohui hesitated, "But...but..."

Xu Xiwan saw her shaken heart, and said, "Do you know why my surname is Xu and Lin Xing's surname is Lin?"

Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui shook their heads, "I don't know."

"Because Lin Xing is not a child of the Xu family, I picked her up."

"!" Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Her father passed away for some reason a long time ago, and her mother passed away not long after she was born. She had no father or mother, and was fostered at her uncle's house." Xu Xiwan looked at the distance and recalled, "Her uncle treated her well. Very bad, when I picked her up, she was as thin as a monkey, her hands and feet were swollen with frostbite like steamed buns, and both arms were wounded by bamboo sticks."

"But now she..."

"I know that she is now lively and cheerful, a smart and friendly little girl, but that is not my credit—at least not entirely, Feng Yu, Xiaohui, Lin Xing can grow into what they are now, I want to thank you, it is you who helped her When I was the most self-abased and cowardly, I didn't dislike her, and I took the initiative to be friends with her, so that her personality was reversed bit by bit, and she grew into a normal child."

Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui were embarrassed by Xu Xiwan's praise, their ears were flushed, and their cheeks were hot. They thought of the estrangement from Lin Xing for a while, and they felt even more ashamed.

"You never disliked Lin Xing at her worst time. You are good boys. Could it be that in your hearts, Lin Xing is a bad boy who despises her friends?"

"of course not!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm not questioning you." Xu Xiwan smiled, "I just want to tell you that the friendship between you and Lin Xing will not deteriorate because of money or lack of money. The three of you have been good friends for five years. , This is a rare and precious relationship, if you feel bad about her just because she is richer than you, and destroy this kind of friendship, in the future, not only Lin Xing, but the three of you will be sad."

Zhou Xiaohui bit the straw in frustration, "I'm already very sad now."

Feng Yu matured earlier than Zhou Xiaohui, and was much more sensible than Zhou Xiaohui. She said, "Sister Xu, we know what's wrong. Don't worry, as long as Lin Xing is willing, we will be her good friends for life."

Xu Xiwan smiled kindly, "I don't blame you, I just don't want to see your relationship ruined for several years."

After going back that day, Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui lay in bed and thought for a long time. They stayed up late, holding their mobile phones under the covers and sending messages to each other.

Feng Yu: [Tomorrow, go and apologize to Lin Xing. ]

.Xiaohui: [Well, I have to apologize. ]

Zhou Xiaohui has a "." symbol in Feng Yu's address book remarks, so no matter how many people are added to the address book, her name will always be ranked first.

On the second day of school, Lin Xing had just stepped into the school gate with one foot, when she heard someone calling her from behind. She turned her head and saw that it was Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui who were waving at her and running towards her.

Panting, they ran to Lin Xing, only to hear Lin Xing say, "Feng Yu, Xiaohui, I have something to tell you."

Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui were out of breath, "We...we also have something...to tell you..."

"Then let's talk first."

Feng Yu gasped for a few times, and finally calmed down. She took a deep breath and said, "We are here to apologize to you."

Lin Xingle said, "I want to apologize to you too."

Zhou Xiaohui waved her hand carelessly, "Then don't say anything. If you say you are good friends, you will be good friends for the rest of your life. We have all checked each other before. Do you remember if you can't change in 100 years?" She stretched her arms at both sides, Hugging Feng Yu and Lin Xing one by one, "Let's go, I'll treat you to some skewers after school."

Feng Yu said, "Lin Xing can't eat spicy food."

Zhou Xiaohui said: "It's okay, let's order mandarin duck pot!"

Lin Xing clapped his hands, "Okay, Xiaohui, treat me."

Zhou Xiaohui said: "Fuck, Lin Xing, why are you so stingy when you are so rich? Is it easy for me to save some pocket money..."

Xu Xiwan watched them enter the school from the car, and smiled with raised lips.

When Lin Xing was in the sixth grade, some children in the class began to develop. A few boys who started school late had sporadic stubble around their mouths, and their voices became hoarse day by day, while the girls began to grow rapidly. The front also gradually raised a little arc.

There is a girl in Lin Xing's class who develops early and has a bulging chest. The naughty and wretched boys in the class nicknamed her "Sister Dabo". In the past, leading a group of girls to chase those boys and beat them violently until they begged their grandpa to tell their grandma to admit their mistakes and apologize to the girls who were bullied was considered a let-down.

Smartphones had been on the rise for a while that year. Although the head teacher strictly forbade bringing mobile phones to school, many students still took them secretly. Children with poor grades in the back row secretly played in desk drawers, looking up from time to time. Looking around in the classroom, he lowered his head again, like a mouse, afraid that the teacher would suddenly pass by the window and put away his mobile phone.

The girls' minds became delicate and dense. A certain boy group was very popular that year. Several girls in Lin Xing's class liked that group. They bought a lot of magazine posters. After class, they got together to discuss which group was in the group. The members are the most handsome, and some girls are obsessed with watching anime, and they have formed a small circle to share which "new series" they have discovered recently, and more girls cherish their care. Write it down in your beloved notebook and hide it secretly so that no one can read it.

The monitor of Class [-] and the study committee member of Class [-] are in a relationship. The last time someone saw them holding hands in the woods behind the school; the representative of the music class of Class [-] has liked the art committee member of Class [-] for a long time. Giving a birthday present, she threw it to the ground...

These blushing and heart-pounding gossips are passed on between boys and girls. They are still children, and they are no longer children. It is the first time they experience growing up, and they are all eager to try and can't wait to try the world of adults.

Lin Xing's physical development was slower than other children, and even her mental development was more than a bit slower. The classmates around her changed almost every day. Spring saplings sprouted like saplings and blossomed into flower buds. Even Feng Yu Both Zhou Xiaohui and Zhou Xiaohui began to grow, wearing girlish underwear|underwear, and developed pimples, and Feng Yu's size surpassed Lin Xing's from behind.

"Haha! Lin Xing, I'm taller than you again!" Feng Yu was very proud.

By the time of Xiaoshengchu's physical examination, Feng Yu was already over 1.6 meters tall, becoming the tallest of the three of them, Zhou Xiaohui was almost 1.5 meters tall, and Lin Xing was still struggling within the range of 1.4 meters.

Lin Xing was not convinced, he drank more milk and went to bed early, but whether it should grow or not, it had no effect at all.

"Wanwan, when will I grow up?" Lin Xing sighed depressingly while lying on Xu Xiwan's lap.

Xu Xiwan stroked her hair and smiled, not wanting Lin Xing to grow up so quickly.

She likes to see Lin Xing wearing a small skirt, cuddling up to her and acting coquettishly. As Lin Xing grows up, such times have become less and less.

"Soon, soon." Xu Xiwan always comforted Lin Xing like this, but she was saying in her heart, slow down, slow down.

Until he graduated from elementary school, Lin Xing didn't grow up in size, and he didn't even start to develop his secondary sexual characteristics.

Lin Xing, Feng Yu, and Zhou Xiaohui worked very hard in the sixth grade. The three of them were admitted to No. 1 Middle School together. Feng Yu also got a No.[-] entrance score in the entrance examination, ranking high on the top of the list. Feng Yu's mother was also there that day, stroking Feng Yu's hair with a proud face.

Lin Xing and Zhou Xiaohui's grades were also good, both entered the top [-]. If you know that you can get the top [-] in No. [-] Middle School, it is equivalent to having one foot into the gate of a key university.

No. [-] Middle School is the best middle school in Jinling—only for ordinary children.

There is a private aristocratic school in Jinling. It used to be the private school of the Xu family. Later, more and more children were sent by other families. The school board was established and it was officially opened to the outside world. The dormitory, dining hall and teaching facilities are all top-notch in the country. Yes, the annual tuition fee is very high, and children from ordinary families have never heard of this school at all, and even if they have money, they cannot get in.

The courses taught in this school are also different from those of public public schools. When most children are still studying the three main subjects, as well as history, geography, biochemistry, and biochemistry, students in this school have already begun to study finance and law, as well as German and French.

It is completely cultivated according to the standard template of the heirs of each family.

Xu Yiqing was doted on by her father since she was a child, and she invited teachers to her home to teach. She never attended this private school, but Xu Xing'an and Xu Xingyan, who were famous back then, all came from this school.

"Hey, why don't you send Xiaoxing to school too?" Xu Yiqing gave Xu Xiwan a bad idea.

As soon as the words fell, Xu Xiwan flew over with a sharp glance.

Xu Yiqing's momentum weakened, "Forget it, I don't care about your education of Xiaoxing, you can do whatever you like."

Lin Xing didn't need that kind of model education for raising heirs, and Xu Xiwan didn't want her to embark on this path either.

Too tired, too hard, with thorns all over the way, and life may be in danger.

Xu Xiwan hoped that Lin Xing would be an ordinary person and live his life smoothly.

So when Lin Xing came to tell Xu Xiwan with the notice that he was admitted to No. [-] Middle School, Xu Xiwan was really happy in his heart, even happier than Lin Xing himself.

After Xu Xiwan took charge of Xu's family, the community in the past could not be lived in, and the law and order could not keep up, which was prone to problems.Both she and Lin Xing were used to living in that area, and they didn't want to move too far away, so they found a house they liked in a nearby high-end community, and moved in after the decoration was completed.

No. 40 Middle School is far away from Xu Xiwan’s home, in the west of the city, and it takes more than [-] minutes to drive, not counting the morning and evening peak traffic jams. Both Feng Yu and Zhou Xiaohui chose to live on campus. Lin Xing didn’t want to be separated from Xu Xiwan, so he chose to go to school. Yes, I let the driver pick me up every morning and evening, but there is a week of military training before school starts, and all freshmen in the first year of junior high school must participate in a training base in the suburbs.

It was the hottest time in midsummer, Lin Xing's physique was not good, and he had never left Xu Xiwan's side since he was a child. Xu Xiwan was afraid that something would happen to her at the training base, so he wanted Lin Xing to leave several times.

Lin Xing was very embarrassed, "But everyone is going, isn't it good if I don't go? Besides, all the classmates in the class are having fun after returning from military training, and I don't know anyone, so I won't be able to participate in class activities in the future. .”

"Then Xiaoxing, remember, you can't be brave in everything. If you feel uncomfortable, tell the instructor to go down and rest, take your mobile phone with you, and call me every night to report that you are safe. Do you understand?"

"Got it." Lin Xing stuck out his tongue, "I'm already a middle school student, so I don't know how to take care of myself."

"Who stole the ice cream yesterday, got into my arms at night and complained that his stomach hurts?"

"I... I just ate a little..."

"You ate a whole two boxes!" Xu Xiwan's temples twitched, God knows she was about to have a heart attack when she saw Lin Xing's pale face last night, "I didn't know anything when I was a child."

When I was a child, at least I knew to cherish my body, not to be greedy, and to know what to eat and what not to eat.

"I was wrong, hehe, don't get angry at Wanwan, okay?" Lin Xing hugged Xu Xiwan's arm, rubbing against her body like a kitten.

The summer clothes were thin and light, and Xu Xiwan's elbows were stuck to Lin Xing's chest with only a thin layer of fabric between them. The wide neckline of the T-shirt was also torn a little. Xu Xiwan wanted to lower his head and touch Lin Xing's chest. With a small head, who would have thought that with a glance, she accidentally saw something in the skirt of her shirt.

The arch was not too obvious, and there was only a slight arc. The girl's skin was crystal clear, as smooth as a tender egg that had been peeled off its shell.

And Xu Xiwan's elbow was attached to it, and the joints could even feel a little real softness.

Xu Xiwan felt a little strange, he looked away calmly, and pulled his hand out of Lin Xing's arms.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xing could see that Xu Xiwan's expression was wrong, "Are you feeling unwell, Wanwan?"

Xu Xiwan's gaze was always slanted elsewhere.

"No."

Even if Xu Xiwan didn't want to, she could still notice that Lin Xing had begun to grow up just from the subtle prying in her daily life.
