Primary school students always line up in small groups after school and leave according to their classes, like a group of neat little ducks, and they can only disperse when they reach the designated location.
Lin Xuan'er was in Class 1, the first to be dismissed. After waiting for her classmates to disperse, the pretty girl, carrying her small schoolbag, slowly walked home.
Someone blocked her way. Lin Xuan'er raised her head warily and looked at the person who came. He was a tall and handsome brother. Although he was smiling, his smile was extremely cold.
Lin Xuan'er took a step back and looked at Jiang Chen with caution.
Jiang Chen smiled at her: "Little girl, do you know Zuo You?"
Lin Xuan'er asked cautiously, "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected this girl to be so alert. She didn't answer whether she knew him or not, but instead directly asked the question back. This reaction speed far surpassed that of her peers.
"I'm Sister Zuo's friend." Jiang Chen handed her a letter and said, "Little girl, can you do me a favor? Give this letter to Grandpa Wen. In return, I'll treat you to a strawberry cake at the dessert shop across the street."
When she heard about strawberry cake, Lin Xuan'er swallowed her saliva.
There is a dessert shop opposite the school. The desserts there are exquisite and delicious, and are inlaid with fresh large fruits. They are very popular among children.
But this dessert shop is not cheap. A small piece of cake costs forty or fifty yuan, which is almost a luxury for children of this age.
Only when I behave well will my parents reward me with a small piece of cake.
Jiang Chen noticed the little girl's eager eyes and thought there was a chance, but who would have thought that the next second, Lin Xuan'er still shook her head firmly.
Lin Xuan'er asked: "Brother, why don't you go and send it off yourself?"
Jiang Chen cursed in his heart, how could this little girl be so cunning at such a young age?
Jiang Chen forced a smile and said, "Brother has something to do. Can you help me with something, good boy?"
Lin Xuan'er still shook her head, looking at him with a wary look: "Brother, I can't confirm that you are Sister Zuo's friend, so I can't help you."
She spoke with reason and evidence, and had a calm mind that was completely out of character for her age.
"Besides, the teacher said that good children should not talk to strangers. Goodbye, brother. I'm going home."
After saying that, Lin Xuan'er walked around him and walked forward. The little girl walked very fast and disappeared in a short while.
Jiang Chen was a little annoyed. It was a bad start. This girl was small but very cunning.
He deliberately mentioned Zuo You to lower the girl's guard, and tried to tempt her with dessert cakes, but he didn't expect that the little girl was not fooled at all and walked away with her schoolbag on her back.
At this time, a group of "little ducks" carrying schoolbags came bustling over. Jiang Chen saw Li Xuanxuan playing with other children.
This is another child in the Wen family compound.
Jiang Chen felt somewhat defeated by his recent failure and didn't hold out much hope. Kids these days are quite clever, so it seemed he'd have to find another way to get this letter to Wen Shouren.
Jiang Chen shouted, "Li Xuanxuan, wait a moment."
Li Xuanxuan really stopped and looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, searching his mind to confirm that he did not know this person.
The boy asked curiously: "Who are you? Why do you know my name?"
Jiang Chen: "I'm Zuo You's friend, Xuanxuan. Can you do me a favor and deliver this letter to Grandpa Wen?"
Li Xuanxuan was very happy. He reached out and took the envelope, waving his hand: "It's a small matter, of course."
Jiang Chen: ...
Is the gap between children so big?
The child just now seemed to have a hundred minds, but this child seemed to have no minds at all. Four big words were written all over his face: I am very simple.
He didn't even need to tempt her with benefits, Li Xuanxuan agreed readily without asking any questions.
Jiang Chen felt a sigh in his heart. His goal had been achieved. He smiled at Li Xuanxuan in a good mood, put his hands in his pockets and turned away.
The moment he turned around, the smile on Jiang Chen's face disappeared like crow feathers, and his dark pupils were cold.
It was like the frozen lake water in the cold winter, revealing a creepy chill from deep within the eyes.
He has been planning for so long, it's time to close the net.
Fu Shenzhi, this time I will definitely make you lose your reputation and suffer unbearable pain!
-
Wen Shouren received a letter from the sister of one of his former students.
When he received the letter, he was busy cooking in the kitchen. Li Xuanxuan came back from school, skipping and jumping, put the letter on the dining table, and shouted, "Grandpa Wen, someone wrote you a letter."
Wen Shouren responded, but he felt puzzled. It was the information age now, so why would anyone still write letters?
Wouldn’t it be better to just send it via WeChat?
After shaking off his wet hands, Wen Shouren went to pick up the letter on the dining table. As soon as he saw the signature on the letter, the old man froze as if petrified.
Signed: Zhou Lingling.
He will never forget this name, this is Zhou Mingyang's sister.
Wen Shouren's hands began to tremble involuntarily. At this moment, time seemed to go back and he returned to the heavy snow thirty years ago.
At that time, there was a heavy snowstorm in Beijing. The snow was more than an inch deep, and the whole world was covered in silver.
He was twenty-five years old, at the peak of his career.
