After falling into the shadow's trap

"Yes..." Xi Heng was a little dazed, "You, what do you want?"

Lan Xingyue opened her mouth slightly, and the tip of her tongue flickered past.

"what?"

She spoke too softly, Xi Heng couldn't hear clearly, so she couldn't help leaning forward.

"I want you..." Lan Xingyue also moved closer to her, supported her chin with one hand, turned half of her face, the tails of her eyes flew upwards, and raised her eyebrows to look at her, "Writing, anything is fine." .”

The pause in the middle of the words almost made Xi Heng's heart skip a beat.

I don't know if the other party did it on purpose, the distance between the two is neither far nor close, just stuck in Xi Heng's intimate social distance.

A little further away, she won't be as flustered as she is now.And if she got any closer, she couldn't help but want to hide.

Although now she has started to want to run away.

Lan Xingyue was really overwhelming.

"Then it depends on my mood!" Feeling that the air flow around her became slow, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little off, Xi Heng hurriedly pretended to be relaxed and brought the topic back.

Lan Xingyue played with her fingertips with a lock of long hair, and couldn't help laughing when she answered the words calmly, straightened up and poured tea for her: "Okay, I'll listen to you, then I want Xiaoxi to take it." I’m always happy when I come down.”

Xi Heng hurriedly took the teacup, and used the gesture of drinking tea to hide his blushing, while responding to her: "Yes, yes."

"By the way," Xi Heng put down his teacup and looked at Lan Xingyue curiously, "How do you know about this private restaurant?"

Lan Xingyue smiled without saying a word, and asked her what she thought of the taste.

"It's delicious! I didn't expect home-cooked food to be so delicious."

Xi Heng sighed and patted his stomach, with a satisfied yet melancholy expression: "I'm going to weigh two catties again when I go back."

"You're too skinny, just eat more."

Lan Xingyue looked at her sharp jawline and slightly concave cheeks on both sides, thinking that she should gain weight.

"You're still talking about me!" Xi Heng stared wide-eyed, sat up excitedly, and patted the table, "It's okay to watch on TV, but your celebrity real person is simply too thin."

"No, you have to eat a few more bites." She was indignant, and turned all the food in front of Lan Xingyue.

A little helpless, Lan Xingyue had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks.

"Okay, I'll eat more."

There was a trace of imperceptible pampering and joy in his tone.

"It's so delicious, don't you not cherish it." Xi Heng's eyes were bright, and he lay on the table with puffed cheeks to watch her eat, and now he fell for a little squirrel who was well prepared and could spend the winter with peace of mind.

While eating, Lan Xingyue slowly chatted with her.

"I've known this place since I was young," she picked up a chopstick of fish-flavored shredded pork, staring at the oily shine on it, "Lan Xin used to work here."

"Sometimes after get off work, she will bring back the dishes and snacks made in the kitchen for me to eat."

She put the shredded fish-flavored pork into her mouth and chewed slowly, as if reminiscing about something.

"Lan Xin likes to eat fish-flavored pork shreds, and I always say this is not good. Then she will happily eat it while scolding me for being a picky eater."

Lan Xingyue looked at the dish with dim eyes.

A few years have passed, and the taste of home-cooked food has not changed.

Xi Heng lay quietly on her stomach, resting her head on her arms, listening to her talk about her sister.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the sky outside the window gradually became thicker, like a painting splashed with blue paint.The water wheel in the yard is still working diligently, and the sound of the water is rushing, sometimes far and sometimes near.What is near is the present, what is far is the past.

So in this private restaurant hidden in the deep alley of the market, in the box where the entire yard can be seen from the window, Xi Heng listened to Lan Xingyue's past.

She is her most loyal audience and her best listener.

Lan Xingyue said that her parents valued boys over girls, and after giving birth to Lan Xin, she really wanted to have another boy, so she waited a few years before giving birth, thinking that Lan Xin could help her younger brother when she grows up.Unexpectedly, the second child was a girl, so Lan Xin was seven years older than her.

When her parents died unexpectedly, Lan Xin had just come of age, and Lan Xingyue hadn't even finished elementary school at that time.

In order to support the two of them, Lan Xin did not go to college and started a difficult working life.

But what kind of job can a girl who just graduated from high school find?

When she said this, Lan Xingyue leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair, looking at the ceiling above her head, her voice was low and hoarse, almost whispering.

Xi Heng silently moved towards her and leaned against her.

Lan Xingyue smiled at her reassuringly, and continued.

Lan Xin has done almost everything.

Lan Xingyue resolutely stopped the restaurant waiters, hotel receptionists, telemarketers, and even the idea of ​​going to the bar to earn tips.She was so tired that she would lie on the bed as soon as she got home every day, and she didn't even want to eat the rice cooked by Lan Xingyue.

Speaking of this, Lan Xingyue seemed to think of something, and she was a little thankful: "Fortunately, that unreliable couple at least left us a house, so they wouldn't sleep on the street."

Xi Heng felt that he was panicking in his heart, so he forced a smile along with him.

In this way, the two of them depended on each other stumblingly, until Lan Xingyue grew up, and life became easier.

Among all the shops where Lan Xin worked part-time, this private restaurant was the most memorable for them.

The owner of the restaurant is very kind. After learning about Lan Xin's situation, they agreed to advance her salary in advance, and asked the kitchen to secretly give her extra meals for her to take home.

"The boss's mother is a very kind old lady." Lan Xingyue smiled slightly, and the setting sun cast a layer of brilliance on her delicate side face. Then she would come and sit next to me, talk to me, make me laugh."

"Later, the old lady was in poor health and went abroad for treatment, and we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Hearing the depression in her words, Xi Heng touched her folded hands comfortingly.

It may be because of her physique, but Lan Xingyue's hands seemed to be always cold.

Xi Heng put her palms together in his own, trying to warm them up, but was a bit disappointed to find that they couldn't wrap them.

Lan Xingyue was stunned by her sudden movement, then sighed slightly, and patted her with her backhand: "It seems that you are always comforting me."

Xi Heng smiled at her naively, trying to cheer her up.

"Okay, it's all over." The other party patted her hand again, changed his tone, and returned to the most familiar look of Xi Heng.

"It's getting late, shall I take you back?" Lan Xingyue pulled her to stand up, grabbed the bag next to her and handed it over.

"Myself……"

"Hey don't move."

Lan Xingyue grabbed her shoulders and pulled her forward, relying on her height and the height advantage brought by her high heels, she almost wanted to wrap her in her arms.

"Your hair and bag are stuck."

Lan Xingyue's long hair brushed against her face, making it very itchy.

Feeling the other party's gentle pulling of the hair, and the scent of the other party's body in his breath, Xi Heng really couldn't breathe.

The heartbeat seemed to be out of control, beating on his chest at a strange frequency, Xi Heng's eyelashes kept trembling, his legs were inexplicably weak, and he seemed to be about to lose his footing.

"Okay, let's go."

Lan Xingyue finally let her go and straightened her hair.

"thanks……"

Why every meeting seems to be developing in a bad direction that is beyond my control.

With a dazed expression, Xi Heng stiffly carried his bag.
