For The Rest of Our Life

The night fell completely, without the headlights brought by the endless traffic on the road and the bright street lights as daylight. The dark part of the restaurant was almost out of reach. Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian sat opposite each other, and no one spoke, only the whimper of noodles.

"Oh..." Lin Xian suddenly exclaimed a little.

Xiao Yuanqing immediately stopped, looked nervously at Lin Xian, and asked, "What's wrong?" She couldn't see Lin Xian's expression clearly, only to vaguely see her black eyes sparkling with water. Light.

A moment later, she heard Lin Xian's "hahaha" light laughter.

Lin Xian licked the back molars that had been licked, and smiled and replied: "I can't see anything in the bowl, so I took a sip of soup, and there seemed to be fragments of clams in the soup. It's here."

Xiao Yuanqing put down her chopsticks and gently pushed away the chair, she had to stand up: "Sure enough, it is better to find a candle first." She just said that she had to find a candle and lit it before eating, but Lin Xian pulled it She refused to let go, but had to let her eat the noodles before talking. The child seemed to have a strong obsession with eating in time while she was hot. Xiao Yunqing couldn't but her, so she had to rely on her.

Lin Xian took hold of Xiao Wanqing's hand again by feeling, lightly exerting his strength, beckoning Xiao Wanqing to sit down. In her tone, there were also some cheerful eagerness to try: "It doesn't matter, we're almost done. And, how fun it is to eat, there may be surprises in every bite."

Xiao Yunqing gently pinched the soft flesh of Lin Xian's palm with his hand that was held by Lin Xian. His words were soft and helpless: "Are you afraid of biting and breaking your teeth?"

Lin Xian opened her mouth, biting her upper and lower teeth with "giggling", confidently: "No! My teeth can be strong." During the speech, she took another sip of soup.

Xiao Xuanqing just wanted to tease her not to talk nonsense, and she heard that Lin Xian was exclaiming again, "Ouch," which sounded more uncomfortable than just that.

Xiao Wanqing couldn't sit still now, and immediately approached Lin Xian with Lin Xian's hand. He felt Lin Xian's cheek with both hands, holding her small face, with an obvious panic in his tone: "How Where is it again?"

Lin Xian just opened his eyes, and looked at the beautiful face in front of him, which could not be concealed in the dark, without a word.

Xiao Yunqing thought that she had bitten her teeth and was speechless because of her pain. She rubbed Lin Xian's cheeks, and then left Lin Xian's cheeks with both hands, turned around and walked out: "Wait for me..."

Lin Xian saw that she was taken seriously, and quickly reached out to hold her, but only grabbed her clothes. She quickly called Xiao Wanqing and explained quickly: "Aunt Xiao, I'm fine, I am teasing you..."

Xiao Wanqing lifted his leg and froze for a moment. The next second, she turned around and looked at the blurry outline in the darkness not far away, frowned, and the voice was soft, like a little unbelievable, with a somewhat rare low: "You made me play ?"

For the first time Lin Xian heard a low-pressure sound like Xiao Wanqing, and was a little panicked. She swallowed a bit unconsciously and realized that she was...too relying on Xiao Wanqing's good temper and made a joke. For a while, she lost her playful thoughts, and her mood fell. She narrowed her eyes slightly and lowered her voice, then apologized and apologized: "I'm sorry, Aunt Xiao, I... I shouldn't be joking, I worry you..." Today, Xiao Wanqing was scared because of her fear. Going, she actually joked so much that she was worried. She is really, too sensible.

When I heard Lin Xian said at the first glance that he was teasing himself, Xiao Wanqing did have some uncontrollable displeasure that came to his mind. From yesterday to today, the situation is too much. Lin Xian's physical discomfort has kept her in a state of panic, worry and guilt. Such a long-lost complex emotion suddenly returned to her body, leaving her somewhat at a loss, panicking, a night of sleeplessness and running in the wind and rain, and even made her physically and mentally tired. Now, finally everything is back on track, Lin Xian actually surprised her to play and consume her feelings...

However, when she heard the girl sincerely apologizing to her with a small low voice, Xiao Yunqing felt that all her displeasure had disappeared.

She couldn't see Lin Xian's expression, but she seemed to be able to imagine how the girl should look like a sly self-blame, and how sad it should be in the bright and clear eyes like a deer. She relaxed her nervous nerves and began to reflect on herself. What was wrong with Lin Xian? She was just making a joke with herself. She was making a fuss and raking her, scaring the child.

She sat back to Lin Xian's side, reached out and touched Lin Xian's little head, and showed a faint smile, tone, and returned to normal: "It's okay, I made a big deal, you just didn't hurt. Little liar, Let’s eat noodles quickly.” The words “little liar”, she said naturally and briskly, her tone of voice rose, and she was obviously indulged.

Listening to Xiao Yuanqing's soft and thoughtful words, Lin Xian did not know why, but felt that his heart was more sour and lowered. Apparently she was wrong, Xiao Xiaoqing said she was wrong.

Aunt Xiao, won't you be angry...

Isn't she angry or blaming others...

Lin Xianhao's teeth lightly bit the chopsticks, listening to the collision of Xiao Wanqing's tableware and chopsticks, but his mind was clattered with thoughts, and he couldn't help thinking about life problems. If a person is alive in this world, if he is strict with self-discipline and treats others generously, he will try his best to avoid letting others be wronged by himself, will he inevitably grieve himself more?

Xiao Yunqing hasn't heard Lin Xian moving chopsticks for a long time, and can't help but softly remind her: "What do you want? The noodles are getting cold..."

Lin Xian responded, put away his thoughts, smiled and said, "I'm thinking, Aunt Xiao, how are you so good."

Everyone likes to listen to good things. Xiao Wenqing couldn't help but gently curl her lips, and she said, "You can't help but eat your noodles." The voice is more gentle than just now.

After eating, Xiao Wanqing touched the black and started the project of looking for candles by turning the table over the cabinet. It should have been resolved in a few minutes, but, turning the house over and over again, Xiao Wanqing only found half of the scented candles. There are many, but there are no more...

These half scented candles, if you remember correctly, it should have been a gift from Wen Tong a few years ago...

Lin Xian touched the half candle held in her hand, thinking of the soft voice when Xiao Wanqing handed her the candle just now with a little embarrassment, "only this candle is there", and couldn't help but want to laugh.

If my mother is here, you must criticize Aunt Xiao. This life...

Lin Xian is not Zhou Qin, she feels very understanding. She just tilted her head and comforted Xiao Yunqing: "It's okay, it's probably okay to have a little light to see." Then, she seemed to think of something suddenly, and then asked: "Is there a lighter or a match at home?" "The candle was so difficult to find, she could not help wondering if another necessity existed.

Hey, it’s okay, it’s not okay, just turn on the burning stove and order.

However, this time, Xiao Wanqing responded very quickly, full of confidence, and a light tone: "Yes." During the conversation, she bent slightly and opened the drawer of the TV cabinet with ease, and found an object from it. After a crisp sound, a small burst of fire was reflected in the ink-like eyes of the two. The fire is blazing, small and warm.

Xiao Wanqing's smiling face became more and more delicate and delicate under the reflection of this small, dim, flashing flame. Lin Xian was fascinated by the inexplicable look at the moment.

Xiao Wanqing was unaware. She reached out and took the candle from Lin Xian's hand, poured it slightly, brought the cotton core close to the flame, and soon lit the candle. Her slender five fingers gently held the candle, and the other hand, with a click, simply closed the lighter.

Lin Xian then noticed by candlelight that Xiao Yunqing was holding a silver-grey lighter with a cold light, and it seemed that the fuselage was still engraved with some patterns. It doesn't look like the one-off items that are readily available at home.

Xiao Yuanqing turned around naturally, opened the drawer, and dropped the lighter lightly, and then closed the drawer again neatly. The movements are adept and natural, as if they have been done thousands of times.

A conjecture suddenly appeared under Lin Xian's heart. She bit her lower lip involuntarily, her eyes gradually sinking.

The candles were placed on the glass coffee table in the living room, exuding a light lavender fragrance. Xiao Yuanqing and Lin Xian sat cross-legged on the blanket laid in front of the coffee table, sitting opposite each other.

Lin Xian's elbows were supported on the coffee table, his hands supporting his cheeks, and he was bored. She blinked her big, bright eyes, and tentatively asked Xiao Yunqing: "Aunt Xiao, is there anything in the family that can be played with by two people? Such as chess and military chess?" She actually didn't have much hope in her heart. After all, after the candles and cold medicine, Lin Xian already knew a little bit about Xiao Wanqing's life before.

She lives alone, and besides eating delicately, she seems not to value herself.

Probably, even after eating, it was only because I came that I started to get regular.

Unexpectedly, this time, like the lighter just now, Xiao Wanqing surprised Lin Xian again.

When she heard the question, there was a smile in her eyes, and how cute was she?

Xiao Yuanqing quickly stood up and walked to the TV cabinet while asking Lin Xian, "Yes. There are chess, military flags, Go, flying chess, and checkers, as well as playing cards, monopoly, you think about it What do you want?"

Lin Xian unexpectedly "wow" and responded: "I can do it." Then, he was puzzled and said: "This is so complete, Aunt Xiao, do you usually play with friends?" She thought that she was quiet like Xiao Wanqing May not invite friends to play at home too often.

Xiao Yunqing moved a bunch of chess cards to the coffee table, and touched the broken hair scattered on the forehead, and explained with a smile: "No, this is something I heard before when you heard that you are coming. I think, maybe we can have a chance together For play."

Lin Xian's voice was immediately full of unforgettable joy, and teased Xiao Wanqing: "It seems that Aunt Xiao is looking forward to my arrival."

Xiao Yunqing opened the chess box, spread out the chess paper, heard the words, and looked at Lin Xian with water-like eyes, for a long while, with a small smile, admitted, "Yes, Lin Xian, I look forward to your Coming."

Her tone was so frank and sincere, but in her low eyes, there was a flash of sadness and loneliness.
