Miss White Rose

"I haven't bought the mandarin fish, so Ms. Lin will just let it go and drink crucian carp soup."

As soon as Xu Xingyan entered the gate of the supermarket, she arranged for Lin Shengmiao to go to the vegetable section to buy green peppers, and she plunged into the fresh produce section by herself. Because it was the weekend, even though it was close to noon, there were still many people shopping and wandering around. There are more than a dozen shrimps, and the last mandarin fish has disappeared after turning around, which is really embarrassing.

Lin Shengmiao was carrying a small bag of green peppers, and couldn't hold back the smile on her face, "Miss Xu cooks herself, so how can she just make do...do you want to buy lean meat now?"

"No, there's lean meat at home." Xu Xingyan said.

Lin Shengmiao was in a very high mood until she left the gate of the supermarket. I don't know if it was because the place she was about to go to was the 'home' that Xu Xingyan said.

"I'm going to cook, you can watch TV here for a while." Xu Xingyan quickly changed her clothes as soon as she entered the house, turned on the TV, and then carried the dishes into the kitchen. "There are cups in the cupboard under the water dispenser. Pour a glass of water to drink, the toilet is next to the studio, there are snacks under the coffee table, and you can visit the room casually..."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Lin Shengmiao said standing at the kitchen door.

Xu Xingyan glanced at her without stopping, and said with a smile, "My grandma said that when the petite guest comes to the house for the first time, you don't need to do any housework. You just wait to wash your hands and eat."

Lin Shengmiao was not a native of Nancheng, and there was no old man in the family to guide her. Therefore, she didn't know that most of the so-called "jerks" in the local population were pet names for "son-in-law".

She took a closer look at the whole room, and it was full of strong 'Xu Xingyan style'.

Ms. Xu is romantic, nostalgic and handy. She is reluctant to discard many things that she feels commemorative. With a little processing, they become beautiful accessories.

Lin Shengmiao even saw a figure painting made of candy paper. Looking carefully, the candy paper used was the most popular and favorite one in high school.

Turning around the living room of Xu Xingyan's house, Lin Shengmiao felt softer the more he looked at it.

She had seen that violin before, when she was in the third year of high school, in the school performance, in the rehearsal classroom, after everyone left, Xu Xingyan played it for her alone.

They bought that ceramic doll from an old lady's stall on their way to the city library. Unfortunately, Lin Shengmiao's own doll was accidentally lost when she moved abroad.

……

Unscrewing the door of the bedroom, Lin Shengmiao took a look at the decorations in the room, and was immediately struck by the girlish aura filled with all kinds of cotton dolls, thinking how cute it looked.

At this time, there was a commotion from the kitchen, "Miaomiao, do you eat wakame?"

"Eat!" Lin Shengmiao wandered to the kitchen with joy, leaned against the door frame with folded arms, and asked with a smile, "When did you learn to cook?"

Xu Xingyan lowered her eyes and smiled and said, "Sophomore year, when my grandfather was sick with Alzheimer's disease, at that time my grandfather often forgot that he hadn't eaten yet, and he was willing to eat two bites of the food I cooked. It was also at that time that I That’s when I realized that I have a talent for cooking.”

"So..." Xu Xingyan turned to look at her, "I've always been very lucky."

"What are you lucky about?" Lin Shengmiao asked, putting down her arms.

"Fortunately, at that time, I didn't go to other places to study in the end..." Xu Xingyan slowly picked up the shrimp thread, and sighed: "Staying in Nancheng, taking care of grandpa, and caring for him until the end of his life is the most correct decision I have ever made in my life. I don't regret it at all."

Alzheimer's disease is not a short-term disease, especially for the family members of patients, it is a project that requires long-term care.

But at that time Fang Yuan and his wife were busy with work, so they came to see him twice a month at most, and Fang Yi and his wife were similar. Has to come and go.

Among the big family, only Xu Xingyan, who is studying in university in this city, can be there on call.

In the last few years of Mr. Fang, although most of his children and grandchildren could not be with him all the time, his beloved little granddaughter was always by his side and devoted himself to filial piety. A lifetime is enough.

Lin Shengmiao lowered her head and twitched the corners of her mouth, "Do you still want to study abroad?"

"Yes," Xu Xingyan nodded, "Fortunately I gave up."

"Why did you give up?" Lin Shengmiao asked.

When Xu Xingyan took the college entrance examination, Mr. Fang was still very healthy, which was not enough to constitute a reason.

"Because the school I want to go to has too high a score, I'm sure I won't be able to pass the exam, and my mother has a younger sister who is a professor at Z University. She said that she can guarantee me to go to her graduate school, and the major I like."

Lin Shengmiao: "..."

The truth is sometimes so naked.

……

Bringing the last dish to the table, Xu Xingyan looked left and right, always feeling that something was missing, thought for a while and said: "Tmall Elf, let's play some music."

A piece of light music played soothingly, and the whole atmosphere suddenly changed.

"Come on, try it," Xu Xingyan got up and gave her half a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice.

Ms. Xu was so personable that Lin Shengmiao could taste the taste of top-quality red wine in a glass of mediocre fruit juice.

Looking up at Xu Xingyan's gorgeous eye ends for no reason, Lin Shengmiao was slightly startled, and actually felt a desire to stare at her like this forever.

When she was a teenager, Luo Jing couldn't understand Lin Shengmiao very much. She always regarded her as an evildoer who seduced the princess. The princess was innocent and had never seen anything in the world, but evildoers were used to seducing people. The fault was of course hers.

For this reason, Luo Jing was worried in every possible way, and scratched her head to let the princess see the true face of the evildoer. She wished to imitate the queen mother and pull out the hairpin to draw a galaxy to separate the easily deceived little princess from the evildoer.

It's a pity that the little princess became determined after eating the weight, and always regarded "loyalty" as "slander", and she was obsessed with it, which broke the heart of the "good minister" and made the hearer sad and the listener shed tears.

But throwing away Luo Jing's thick filter that can't be seen, is this really the case?Did the princess fall into the trap of the evildoer, or the evildoer was lured by the princess?

"Does it look good?" Xu Xingyan stopped her chopsticks at some point, and looked at her deeply with her chin resting.

Lin Shengmiao didn't speak, just looked into her eyes.

Lin Shengmiao never said that what she likes most is Xu Xingyan's eyes, which are very similar to the wells in the village where she lived when she was a child, the kind of spring water squeezed out of the cracks in the mountains and rocks, without a speck of dust, but not able to see the dirt in the world Clear, full but not overflowing, warm in winter and cool in summer, it seems to have its own original rules of doing things.

If Lin Shengmiao was stared at by these eyes at the age of 18, Lin Shengmiao would often run away. Occasionally, if he couldn't react in time, he would indulge in it uncontrollably, restless all day long, and his mind and eyes were completely occupied.

People who have never experienced it will not understand, if there is such a person, she looks at you with her eyes looking at the stars, moon and clouds, quiet and distant, as if in her eyes, you are as important as the sun, moon and stars. Temptation, but it is too precious, how can a person with two sleeves take it?How dare you take it?

But sitting here now is the 28-year-old Lin Shengmiao, who has excellent experience and has made great achievements.

and so……

Now she could muster up the courage to look into those eyes, to look back at her with the same quiet and distant expression.

Then said softly: "It looks good."

Really, no one looks better than you.

The atmosphere suddenly became very ambiguous.

"us……"

A violin piece of pure music enters the ethereal coda, the lingering meaning is endless, mellow and moving, like a kind of alternative reminder.

Lin Shengmiao realized something and held his breath.

Xu Xingyan chuckled, and was about to speak...

The Tmall Elf, who couldn't understand the atmosphere, had automatically switched to a new song.

A familiar sad and resentful female voice sounded in the living room, singing the theme song "Ambiguous" of a Taiwanese youth idol drama many years ago.

"Ambiguous people suffer a lot of grievances

no evidence of love

when to move forward

When should I give up..."

Xu Xingyan & Lin Shengmiao: "..."

How should I put it, this kind of background sound is between the two of them, and in this kind of atmosphere, it looks very strange.

Xu Xingyan, who was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, had to interrupt aloud, "...Tmall Elf, change the song."

Mechanical voice: "OK."

The next moment, a sweet and youthful "Primura Grass" sounded.

"Sakura in the hands of lovers

The smile of spring stroll

planted blossoms

Youthful youth..."

Ms. Xu's hobby of watching ancient idol dramas was finally exposed by the Tmall elf's backstab.

"Hahahahahaha..." Lin Shengmiao lay prone on the table, laughing so hard that she couldn't stand upright.

Xu Xingyan covered her face in embarrassment, held back for a long time, and couldn't hold back, she laughed, "What are you doing..."

For a moment, even though the atmosphere was ruined, the two still smiled face to face for several minutes.In other words, the atmosphere is even better, what is restrained, shy, shy...all ran away from home, and the ten years of separation have shrunk to an inch in the occasional meeting with a smile, even though that point is invisible, but it does exist The feeling of strangeness that they felt together completely dissipated in this wanton laughter.

But Tmall Elf may think it is not enough, because it then played "Encounter", "Love Enough", "99 Times I Love Him", "Brown Sugar Show"...

In the end, Lin Shengmiao really understood what it means to "laugh until your stomach hurts".

"Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables," Miss Xu picked up the chopsticks with a wink.

I feel that I have been at odds with the matter of "confession at the dinner table" in my life, and I am destined not to be able to solve major life issues in this situation. Perhaps God is reminding her that confession needs to be carefully planned and carefully arranged. If it is careless, it will be backlashed .

The consequence of the painful experience is——

When Lin Shengmiao was about to leave happily, Miss Xu leaned over from the car window and said to her with a serious face, "Next Saturday is my friend's wedding, come with me, um...be more formal."

Lin Shengmiao: "..."

She looked at Xu Xingyan who wrote "Be strong all my life, never admit defeat", "This time it doesn't count, next time will be sure"... and all kinds of eyes full of hints.

When I went back that night, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. I turned on my phone and picked out the ring for the whole night.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

I remember one time before, I accompanied my senior to return the equipment, and when I returned to the dormitory downstairs, my senior was surrounded by flowers and candles, and we both looked confused.

The senior's confession plan was very successful, and he succeeded in taking the position that day.

But...

Every time I see the video of the confession, I will think of it. That day, everyone in the man’s party was well prepared and glamorous. Only my senior sister and I were disheveled, without washing our hair or putting on makeup.

Just... I really want to roll my eyes.

Really, confession is basically a sprint to the finish line after the feelings are in place, so it's better to give some hints.
