catch the rabbit

As the end of the year approaches and the weather is cold, the business of restaurants has also slowed down.

Those guys who live in other places have already prepared fruits for the New Year, and are going to go home for a reunion and see their long-lost relatives.

Many of Lin Baizhi's friends went back to their hometowns with their parents, and the others whose families were in the capital were not allowed to go out because of the heavy snowfall. Except for a snowball fight, they stayed at home obediently the rest of the time with.

Lin Baizhi's skin is like a monkey's. Wherever he can't get bored, he can't go out, so he piled up snowmen, big and small, at the door of his house, all of whom are cute and naive.

He also took some old clothes for the snowman to wear, and excitedly pointed them out to Lin Wanke.

"Look, brother, this is you, this is me, this is Sister Jiyun, this is Mr. Le, and this and this..."

He was having so much fun playing, his hands were as cold as carrots and he didn't care about it.

Lin Wanke warmed his hands in his arms, and asked, "Baizhi, I ask you, do you like Mr. Le?"

Lin Baizhi nodded: "Of course! Everyone in our academy likes Mr. Le!"

"Then... Mr. Le is in trouble, should we help him?"

"Is there a villain who wants to trouble Mr. Xun Le?" Lin Baizhi's eyes widened, "Who is it?"

Lin Wanke hastily explained: "Brother just said something casually, just to ask you a question."

"If there is, then I have to help no matter what!" Lin Baizhi drew out his hand and clenched it into a fist, "Kill the bad guys away!"

Lin Wanke smiled gratifiedly: "Yes, beat them all away."

Lin Baizhi laughed more happily than him: "Brother, you are so strange today."

Seeing his younger brother's carefree appearance, Le Xin should not have said anything about closing the academy.

Lin Wanke thought to himself, he is also very reluctant to part with these children.

The wound on his hand was painful, he looked down, went into the room and tore off some clean cloth strips, rubbed on the medicine and rewrapped it.

Due to the previous wound and the recent frostbite, the originally smooth hand was flushed red, and it was excruciatingly painful when the cloth strip was torn off.

Lin Wanke didn't dare to let his younger brother know that these days he was guarding the gate of the academy every night, and he stayed there all night long.

What Le Xin said that day, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he always felt that something would happen.

When he left the academy, he also tentatively asked Wen Jin, but Wen Jin hesitated and couldn't give a general idea, and in the end he just sighed and said some nonsense.

As a result, Lin Wanke felt more and more that the academy was in trouble.

He doesn't know martial arts, and his strength is not too great, but compared to Le Xin, Wen Jin and Cha Weng, he is already very good.

Even if he couldn't leave the capital with Le Xin, at the very least, he had to make sure that the days he stayed in the academy were safe and sound.

This is Lin Wanke's idea, simple and extremely firm.

Fortunately, the restaurant business is deserted now, and he doesn't have much to do. He can spend most of his time guarding the academy, but neither Le Xin nor his younger brother can know about it. It's really hard work.

There have been several heavy snowfalls since the beginning of winter in the capital, which can be described as freezing cold. Even though Lin Wanke wore the thickest clothes, he was still shivering from the cold. Sometimes he thought how stupid he was, sitting at the door of someone's house with a stick in his arms , Could it be possible to protect him?But every time he wanted to leave, he was afraid that if he left, what would he do if Le Xin was in danger, so he could only sit down again.

After a few days like this, his hands were frostbitten.

There was only a little medicine left at home, and he applied it on the wound and wrapped it with a cloth strip. When Lin Baizhi asked, he said that the injury was accidental, and he could fool it, but now it seems that it is more serious , was thinking about whether to go to Dr. Du, when Lin Baizhi's voice sounded outside the door.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, Brother Jiang is here!"

Jiang Tiaotiao wore a thick black cloak, held an umbrella, and carried a food box in his hand.

"Come in, it's very cold outside, be careful of freezing."

Lin Wanke led him into the house, poured hot tea and held the stove.

"Baoxiu made some soup, and I'll give you some." Jiang Tiaotiao said with a smile, "I always come here to eat, so I should give it back once."

Lin Baizhi had already opened the food box, before he even had time to thank him, he poured it into a bowl and shouted that it was delicious.

Lin Wanke was angry and funny, and helped him pack the leftover soup, cleaned and covered the food box.

Jiang Tiaotiao saw him busy, and asked suddenly: "What happened to your hand?"

"My elder brother said it was scratched. Brother Jiang, I'll go build a snowman, and you can come and see it later!" After Lin Baizhi finished speaking, he ran out the door, leaving behind a half-empty bowl.

Lin Wanke picked it up and drank it, and praised: "It's really delicious. Baoxiu's craftsmanship is better than many chefs."

Jiang Tiaotiao didn't answer, but smiled slightly.

"When is Tiaotiao going to go back for the New Year?"

Lin Wanke sat down opposite him and asked.

"Me?" Jiang Tiaotiao pointed to himself.

"Yeah." Lin Wanke laughed, "You see Rouge and the others have gone back to celebrate the New Year, don't you want to go back?"

"Oh, maybe... next month."

"Go back and eat more, I think you have lost weight recently." Lin Wanke said, "People here in the capital don't like to go out at the end of the year, so don't worry about business."

Jiang Tiaotiao responded, as if in a daze.

"What's wrong today?" Lin Wanke stretched out his hand and thumped him, "Is there something wrong?"

"No..." Jiang Tiaotiao said, "I'm just thinking that I won't see you anymore, and I'm a little sad."

Lin Wanke laughed loudly, "Isn't it just to go back for a year, how can I put it like it's like never coming back again!"

He really didn't think about the meaning of these words, and he was about to laugh at the childish words, but he heard Jiang Tiaotiao said: "What if I really don't come back?"

Lin Wanke was stunned, and asked, "It's pretty good, why do you say that?"

"Xiaolin...if you don't see me again, will you miss me?"

Lin Wanke really felt something was wrong this time: "Tiaotiao, did something happen to Yueran? We're friends, don't hide it from me."

Jiang Tiaotiao quickly waved his hands: "No, I just asked you."

Lin Wanke said: "If I know that you have something to do and don't tell me, and treat me as an outsider, then I won't make buns for you to eat again."

Jiang Tiaotiao bowed his head in response, looking unhappy.

Lin Wanke went into the room and came out with a plate of desserts. Seeing that he was still preoccupied, he smiled and pressed his head lightly: "Taste a couple of small snacks specially made for you. I know you love bean paste, use all of it." bean paste."

He handed the plate in front of him and shook it, and the sweet smell immediately permeated.

Jiang Tiaotiao picked up one and took a bite, but he didn't show his usual satisfied expression.

"Isn't it delicious?" Lin Wanke was a little surprised.

He obviously likes bean paste the most, why is he so abnormal today?

"No..." Jiang Tiaotiao twisted his clothes with his hands, looking extremely aggrieved.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Wanke hurriedly put down the plate, "If you encounter any trouble, just tell me!"

"I...I..." Jiang Tiaotiao bit her lip, hesitated for a while but couldn't tell why, Lin Wanke was so frightened that something big happened.

"I..." He seemed to have made a lot of determination, and finally said in a voice as light as a mosquito, "I really can't bear you..."

Lin Wanke was really sweating from his anxiety, and the tension in his heart suddenly relaxed when he heard these words.

"I thought it was a big deal," he let out a breath, and seeing that Jiang Tiaotiao was still very disappointed, he put his arm around his shoulder and comforted him, "If you don't want to come back sooner, I'll keep all the good food, and I'll be with you when you come back." Let's drink together."

Jiang Tiaotiao turned sideways and leaned into his arms, the soft and fluffy cloak brushed against his cheeks, a little itchy, but more of a warmth.

"Little Lin, don't forget me."

Lin Wanke hugged him with a smile: "I'm not an old man, how could I forget you so quickly!"

At this moment, Lin Baizhi ran in with a snowflake on his head, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Is little brother Jiang a baby? Why do you want to be hugged by a big brother!" Jiang Tiaotiaojun's face flushed red when he said a word.

Lin Baizhi dragged him out of Lin Wanke's arms, and took him to play in the snow together.

Standing at the door, Lin Wanke watched the big and small making a snowman in the snow, recalling what Jiang Tiaotiao said just now, he really felt like a child sometimes.

At that time, Lin Wanke didn't know why he said these words, and didn't think too much about it.

The beautiful pot of flowers that Jiang Tiaotiao gave before was still quietly blooming on the windowsill.The cold winter did not make it restrained and beautiful, but it became more and more beautiful.It's just that one of the six original green leaves is about to fall off.
