Shen Xin scratched her messy hair, looked into the kitchen through a glass door, narrowed her eyes slightly and yawned.

Lu Nian didn't seem to feel that there was anything special about his expression and words, he was always so indifferent, but a look and a light word were enough to make the people outside the glass door confused.

Cute and unaware, purely flirtatious, Shen Xin said in her heart.

She folded her arms and looked at Lu Nian who was peeling corn with her head bowed inside. Lu Nian's low ponytail tied to the back of his head was hanging obediently on his back, and a few strands of untied hair on the side of his face swayed slightly with her movements.

Lu Nian looked back and saw Shen Xin still standing outside, she tilted her head and said, "What's wrong."

Shen Xin smiled: "I still want to hear you praise me."

Lu Nian pursed her lips. Obviously the temperature in the room was very low, but her face suddenly became hot. She didn't say anything, but she couldn't help but think about Shen Xin's good points in her heart.

Some and nothing all come to the apex, as if this person has no flaws.

"Just kidding." Shen Xin raised the corners of her lips and said, "Let me draw a heart for you."

She breathed on the glass door, and scratched her finger on the white glass, and really drew a heart.

Lu Nian lowered her head and peeled two more corns, and heard Shen Xin say outside the door, "Have you received my love?"

"Got it." Lu Nian said softly.

The two of them took turns to cook. It stands to reason that it was Lu Nian's time this time, but after Shen Xin finished drawing the love heart, she went inside. When the pot was hot, she peeled and washed the corn and poured it in. She casually tossed it for a few minutes. Down.

She wanted to try to turn the pot upside down, but when she picked it up, she almost poured out all the corn, so she had to honestly turn it over with a shovel.

Lu Nian stood behind and watched, and said after a while, "Put some oil in."

Shen Xin added some oil, and after a while she heard Lu Nian say, "It's time to add salt."

She responded with a grunt, shook some of the salt in the spoon into the pot, and said with her tongue, "Mr. Lu is too strict. Do you have to taste it first?"

Lu Nian stopped talking, and looked over Shen Xin's shoulder into the pot.

After frying, Shen Xin poured the corn into the plate, took a pair of chopsticks and tasted two grains.When she turned around, she saw that Lu Nian's chin was almost on her shoulder, and the distance was so close that she only needed to turn around to kiss someone.

Thinking about it, she really did it, and turned around and pecked Lu Nian on the lips.

Lu Nian took half a step back in a daze, and raised his hand to wipe the corner of his lips.

Shen Xin said, "How does it taste?" referring to corn.

"Sweet." Lu Nian ducked his eyes and replied softly.

Shen Xin smiled, and said slowly, "I didn't even touch the oil on my lips, so you can still taste the sweetness of corn?"

Lu Nian realized later that she had been tricked again, but she couldn't refute it.

Shen Xin went on to say: "If you want to praise your sister Chen for being sweet, just say it straight, you don't need to go through all these twists and turns."

Lu Nian choked for a moment, how could she boast, she couldn't boast.

Since the holiday, the two of them haven't been out much. According to the usual class time, they should read and review early, and they haven't even prepared the New Year's goods, let alone things to keep out the cold in the house.

Seeing that the year was coming to an end, Shen Xin wanted to go out to enjoy the joy of the New Year, so she took a scarf and wrapped it around Lu Nian's neck, covering her slender neck tightly.

Lu Nian raised her head, raised her hand and tugged at the scarf, before she could pull it away, Shen Xin grabbed her hand.

"Don't talk." Shen Xin said, "It took me a long time to circle you up."

These words were very ambiguous, Lu Nian's ears felt hot, it really seemed like she was surrounded, like Shen Xin built a wall around her, she could go outside, but the wind couldn't blow in.

She doesn't want to go outside the fence now.

There are old songs full of New Year's flavor everywhere on the street, and the couplets posted in front of the store are all new, and they are very popular and very festive.

A lot of young people who worked outside came back, and this small place was rarely bustling. There were quite a lot of people on the street, and they were all unfamiliar faces.

This scene is quite interesting. The people who came back from the city have lost most of the atmosphere that should be in a small place. They are wearing brand-new and beautiful clothes and spraying all kinds of perfumes on their bodies. From the dress to the temperament, they are very different from this place. They are different, but they can talk to anyone here very naturally.

Shen Xin took a few glances, then turned around and asked, "Have you seen all these people?"

Lu Nian shook his head, "Some have seen it, some haven't."

Shen Xin thinks it is true after thinking about it, some people may have been working outside for a long time, and sometimes they won't come back for three to five years.

Lu Nian's eyes fell from one side of the street to the other, his expression was very cold, as if he had nothing to miss.

"Do you want to come back in the future?" Shen Xin thought about it and asked.

Lu Nian didn't shake his head or nod. Just when he felt that there was nothing to remember, several familiar faces appeared in his heart. From the uncle who sold vegetables under the bridge hole to the school committee who turned back from time to time in the classroom, all the faces were pretty. clear.

Shen Xin curled up her lips and said, "No matter how important it is, I can accompany you wherever you want."

Lu Nian blinked her eyes, thinking that it's okay, when she wanted to go back to her room and have a good sleep, Shen Xin might not let her sleep.

The two walked aimlessly along the street, and they reached the central square.

Usually there are only a few high-pole street lights in this place. Shen Xin has not seen the colorful lights around her come on for so long, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the colored lights in the distance. The lampshade sprinkled on the ground, casting a dappled light and shadow.

Even though it was not time to dance in the square, there were quite a few people standing by the fountain in the middle.

Shen Xin was quite surprised, "What are you doing?"

Lu Nian didn't understand either, and followed Shen Xin a few steps forward.

The two old aunts in the crowd saw the two of them approaching, their eyes lit up suddenly, and they walked in the direction of the two of them holding a sign with writing in their hands.

Shen Xin paused, suddenly felt that this matter was not simple.

It wasn't until the two old aunts got closer that she could see the words on one of the signs clearly.

"A 29-year-old unmarried overseas returnee, one choice, one lifetime trust."

The sign held by the aunt on the other side also wrote a similar personal introduction, and there was a QR code in the lower right corner, with a line of small words attached below: "Scan the QR code to add friends for details."

Together, this square has become a blind date corner.

Shen Xin looked back at Lu Nian, shook her head and said, "We shouldn't come to this place."

Lu Nian also felt a little embarrassed, her hand tucked into her cuff was touched suddenly, and a few warm fingers immediately wrapped around her.

Shen Xin squeezed her hand and said meaningfully: "I don't think it's right, it's like I'm here to show off."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two old aunts approached and asked them very enthusiastically if they were interested in learning about local special blind date activities.

Shen Xin held Lu Nian's hand and raised it, the cuffs of the two slid down a little, revealing their clasped hands.

The two hands are equally delicate and beautiful, and the fingers are intertwined.

"No, we have companions." After raising her hands, Shen Xin said calmly, speaking slowly.

Lu Nian was dumbfounded, but even though Shen Xin's hand was loosely held between her fingers, she had no intention of breaking free.

The two old aunts were dumbfounded, and after a while they said helplessly: "If you're not interested, then you're not interested, and you're still fooling the old man like this."

Shen Xin smiled, pulled Lu Nian to turn around and left, after walking far away, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of the fountain in the center.

Lu Nian tilted his head and asked, "Want to go on a blind date?"

The tone was cold and indifferent, but it seemed to have a sour taste that was not easy to detect.

Shen Xin raised the corners of her lips and said, "A beautiful unmarried girl, a city household

Mouth, there is a house and a car, one choice, a lifetime of trust, do you understand? "

Lu Nian raised his eyes, "Do you need to scan the QR code?"

"That's not necessary, I'm already standing here, why do I need to scan the QR code?" Shen Xin glanced into the distance, and said, "Let's go scan something else."

In the distance, a baked sweet potato seller pushed a cart passing by, and the aroma wafted along with the wind.

After Shen Xin finished speaking, she went to scan the QR code and bought two roasted sweet potatoes, which she and Lu Nian held one by one.She peeled the skin into a paper bag, and looked back to see that Lu Nian had already taken a bite.

Lu Nian ate carefully, opened his mouth and bit a bit with his teeth, eating in small bites.

"I want to taste yours." Shen Xin said suddenly.

Lu Nian wondered if there are two flavors of this roasted sweet potato, even though he thought so, he still handed the one in his hand to Shen Xin's mouth.

Shen Xin took a small bite, and just when Lu Nian was about to withdraw his hand, his wrist passed her hand.

As soon as the two hands were wrapped around, the voice of the school committee sounded in the distance.

"You are here too." The school committee stood across the street and shouted in surprise.

Her voice stopped abruptly, and she looked frightened.

Shen Xin followed the prestige, and saw the school committee walking over without hesitation.

The school committee stared at their entwined hands without saying a word, and after a long silence, said: "Others are drinking a cup of wine, but you are really good. This is eating roasted sweet potatoes."

It was only then that Lu Nian realized that the posture of her and Shen Xin was quite wrong, and took his hand back in a muffled voice.

Shen Xin's small thoughts were exposed, she was not ashamed, and said, "Most half of the holiday has passed, and the eyes of the school committee have gotten better."

The school committee sighed: "I beg you to get married where you are, don't show off."

……

The holidays fly by so fast, and before we have time to eat Lantern Festival, it's time to go back to school.

This time back to school, everyone felt very heavy, watching the countdown on the blackboard shortened by half a month.

There is no exchange of interesting stories about the holidays, no discussion of what to eat at home during the Chinese New Year, and no talk about how much lucky money you have received.

They didn't talk about people or things, like a pool of congealed lake water, without any ripples.

Time is becoming less and less visible to the naked eye, and everyone is rushing forward with all their strength, and no one wants to stay where they are.

Fang Ran said on the podium: "No one will wait for you, so don't stop and wait for anyone."

Shen Xin knew that Lu Nian was also running, and Lu Nian was also trying to get more points where he could get one more point. This point may not seem like much, but it can make a world of difference between the rankings.

As the thick coats and sweaters are gradually replaced, March, April and May come one after another, and after the end of the first model, it will be the second model and the third model.

Every new round of review is challenging the limit of your own score.

Shen Xin felt that this was the first time for her to struggle so desperately to take another step forward, not only for herself, but also for her children.

She suddenly felt that if she had expected to meet Lu Nian, she might have started working hard for the future.

The results of the third mock exam will come out soon, and the new ranking has been posted on the honor roll.

Everyone pays more attention to the ranking of this exam than before. If they can enter the top ten, it means that A University has stabilized.

The school committee squeezed into the crowd, took a picture of the honor list with their mobile phone, and posted it to the class group, saying to the class: "You don't need to go down and squeeze, I have already posted the ranking in the group."

Shen Xin fished out the phone from the table, she looked careless on the surface, but in fact she was more impatient than anyone else.

She zoomed in on the picture posted by the school committee in the group, looked at it several times, and the slight upward curve at the corner of her mouth disappeared completely.

This time, she actually made it into the top [-] of the three models, but she was still a few names away from the top ten.

The string in her heart was pulled tight again, as if it was about to break at any moment, she felt that she was loose

I can't take it off.

Lu Nian leaned over, looked at Shen Xin's phone screen, she pursed her lips, and said, "Hurry up."

Shen Xin nodded, leaned on the back of the chair and took a long breath, then turned her head to look at Lu Nian.

Her little friend frowned slightly, looking worried about her.

Shen Xin raised the corners of her lips and smiled, pretending to be fearless, and said, "It's okay, your elder sister can do it."

Lu Nian stretched his eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "Let's read a book."

The last month is neither long nor short. If we make good use of it, we can squeeze in a few more people.

The cicadas on the mountain behind the school screamed, and from time to time, dragonflies flew into the classroom from the window.The ceiling fan hanging from the ceiling squeaks and squeaks non-stop, but it can't dispel the summer heat.

This summer seems to be a little hotter than usual, partly because of the temperature, and partly because of the uncontrollable impatience before the college entrance examination.

Before the coming of the college entrance examination, June [-] was caught off guard and took the first step.

Shen Xin was worried that she would forget the time, so she created a new schedule in the calendar in advance, and when the time came, a reminder would appear on her phone.She asked for the phone number of the cake shop in front of the school from the school committee, and ordered a cake for Lu Nian that day.

However, Lu Nian seemed to have forgotten the time. He didn't feel any difference between today and yesterday, the day before yesterday, or the day before yesterday.

She saw that Shen Xin had been out of his mind since the morning, even making a phone call would sneak into the corridor, as if he had done something ulterior.

Before Lu Nian had time to strike first, he was stopped by Shen Xin.

"Little friend, do you remember what day it is today?" Shen Xin said with the corners of her lips curled up.

Lu Nian froze for a moment, nodded and said, "June [-]st."

She really knew, but the timing was a bit embarrassing, it was less than a week before the college entrance examination.She didn't mention it, and didn't want Shen Xin to spend time on it, but she didn't expect Shen Xin to remember it quite well.

Shen Xin raised her eyebrows and said, "I ordered a cake for you."

Lu Nian murmured, "No need, it's too troublesome."

"What's the trouble, I've already made an order, and it happens to be a dessert for you tonight." Shen Xin paused, "If I didn't mention it, wouldn't you even forget your own birthday?"

Lu Nian shook his head, "I haven't forgotten."

She said why Shen Xin was sneaky so early in the morning, it turned out that she secretly ordered the cake.

This feeling is like being placed on the tip of the heart, but when the college entrance examination is coming, there is always the illusion of walking on the tip of the knife. If you don't pay attention, the two of you will be cut in half by the tip of the knife.

Shen Xin watched her lower her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.She leaned over, lowered her voice and said, "I can remember your birthday this year, next year, and the year after that."

Lu Nian raised his eyes, and met Shen Xin's serious eyes.

The dimples on her side face sank slightly, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. She turned around and asked, "What kind of cake did you order?"

"Mango sea salt mousse." Shen Xin thought for a while and said, "I saw the picture, it's quite cute."

Lu Nian lowered his eyes, held the pen and stamped the tip of the pen on the draft paper, "Will you... celebrate my birthday in the future?"

Shen Xin smiled: "You can have me in your household registration book, so why not celebrate your birthday?"

The whispers between the two were really low, and the school committee member Ren couldn't hear it no matter how much he leaned back.The school committee turned its ears sideways and clicked his tongue twice, but he couldn't hear clearly, so he lowered his head to do the question.

After the evening self-study was over, Shen Xin hung a rope out from the wall next to the playground, and caught cakes from the cake shop outside the school.

She pulled Lu Nian carefully to the grove at the foot of the back mountain, took out the lighter from her pocket in the dark, and lit the candle.

The dim yellow light lit up, just to illuminate the cake below, and the candlelight swayed slightly in the wind, reflecting in Lu Nian's eyes.

Shen Xin smiled, and suddenly noticed that the phone in her pocket was vibrating.She took it out and saw that it was the school committee calling.

The school committee's voice sounded anxious, out of breath, and anxiously asked her where Lu Nian had gone, and the teacher was checking the dormitory.

Shen Xin didn't pay attention, so she told the school committee, "You're with me in the woods in front of the back mountain, and she'll be back in a while."

Not long after the call ended, the school committee led a group of people running over from a distance, all smiling maliciously and looking at each other with mischievous eyebrows.

Lu Nian was stunned for a moment, and watched several people in the grove.

The school committee brought people over and said out of breath, "Happy birthday to the god of learning. I didn't prepare any presents, but I got it."

Shen Xin rolled her eyes, the happy world of two people disappeared again.

The school committee grinned, patted the arm of the person beside him and said, "What are you doing in a daze, singing."

So a group of people sang a happy birthday song around Lu Nian, and the singing echoed faintly in the grove, inexplicably penetrating.

Shen Xin sang a few lines along, and when she finished the last line, she said, "Little friend, let's make a wish."

Lu Nian closed her eyes tightly, thinking of nothing else, Xu Chen Xin and her were admitted to the same school.After she opened her eyes, she lowered her head slightly and blew out the candles on the cake.

The academic committee took the lead and applauded lightly, and said with a smile: "I wish the academic god a bright future."

Others followed suit and said, "I will definitely be admitted to the ideal school, and everything will go well."

"I just wish the Xueshen wishes come true and be happy every day."

After the candles were extinguished, the grove suddenly became dark, and the school committee quickly took out the mobile phone and lit the flashlight to light the cake.

This cake is quite big, two people can't eat it all, it looks like it is for ten people.

Shen Xin took the plastic knife out of the bag, hung it in mid-air and gestured a few times, then lowered her hand before cutting down, cut a piece and put a piece in the paper plate.

The cake shop did not provide many paper plates, just enough for the few people present.

After Shen Xin filled the cake, she handed it to Lu Nian, and Lu Nian turned around and handed it to the school committee.After the distribution was over, there was still a big piece of cake left.

Shen Xin pouted and said, "Why don't you eat more to replenish your brain power."

The school committee hugged its stomach and said, "I'm really full."

The rest of the people also waved their hands one after another, and they couldn't eat any more.

Lu Nian glanced at Shen Xin, and said softly, "I shouldn't have bought such a big piece."

"I'll see next time." Shen Xin smiled.

The few people ate the cake in the paper plate in their hands in silence, like the last calm before the storm.

Everyone knows that the college entrance examination is coming, and it is obviously not easy to relax at this time, but I still want to find a way to relax myself.

The school committee swallowed the last bite, thought for a while and said, "Why don't we play a knowledge quiz, and those who can't answer within five seconds will have cream on their faces."

Shen Xin suddenly became interested, "What's the rush to answer?"

"Just ask about the knowledge points within the scope of the exam." The school committee said happily.

Shen Xin: ...

This scene was a bit out of control, and a good birthday turned out to be a knowledge rush in the end.

Lu Nian's face was clean, without even a little bit of cream, and he still looked indifferent, but his eyes were slightly bent, as if he was smiling.

Shen Xin was thinking about how to shave cream on Lu Nian's face, when the school committee asked questions, she secretly reached out and hooked Lu Nian's palm.

Lu Nian was stunned, and three seconds passed.She quickly came back to her senses, but forgot what the school committee asked.

Shen Xin smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up, she was about to wipe the cream on Lu Niansu's fair face, and said, "Don't back off, if you back off, I'll wipe it on your neck."

Lu Nian turned her head sideways in great resistance, her eyes were a little fierce, when Shen Xin stretched out her finger, she opened her mouth and bit it.

Shen Xin was bitten unexpectedly, and wiped the remaining cream on the corner of Lu Nian's lips, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that I'll bite you back?"

Lu Nian looked at her, as if silently provoking her.

Shen Xin smiled helplessly, so she could only wipe off the cream from the corner of Lu Nian's mouth with the back of her hand, and said unhurriedly, "I'll forgive you today, just wait for me after the exam."

The school committee gave a wow on the side, and said quietly: "What a touching sisterhood."

Other people around also sighed wow, they have long been accustomed to the way these two sisters get along, and they don't even find it strange that they are even more intimate.

Lu Nian completely relaxed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Xin smiling softly, that smile was softer than moonlight.

In the short silence of this summer, she felt that she had changed a lot.

From the beginning, she thought that she was not worthy of being so carefully cared for, but later, in Shen Xin's tenderness, she realized that she didn't have to be loved, but she was worth it.
