Fu Zhawei had just put the wet fur on the nail when he heard his sister's loud voice. His face changed and he quickly glanced at the figure sitting quietly in the yard outside the window. Then he rushed over in two steps and covered Fu Qingqing's mouth with his hand.
"Don't shout," he warned in a low voice. "No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak."
Fu Qingqing blinked her big watery eyes, groaned when her hands were covered, and patted his arm vigorously to express her protest.
As soon as she let go, she immediately said angrily: "I'm going to complain to Sister Xiaoxue, saying that you bullied me!"
Fu Zhawei glanced at her indifferently and replied indifferently: "Please do as you please."
I don't buy her tricks at all!
Fu Qingqing was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and could only pout. But the next second, she happily picked up the two oil paper bags, poured out the sugar cakes and walnut cakes, carefully placed them on a small enamel dish, and happily carried them out the door.
——
In the yard, in front of a small table, Lin Jianxue sat quietly.
Fu Qingqing came back skipping and putting the plate on the table, "Sister Xiaoxue, this is the candy you gave me at noon. I couldn't bear to eat it. Let's try it together now!"
Lin Jianxue smiled slightly, took the walnut cake handed to her, gently broke off half of it with her fingertips and handed it to her, "Thank you, then we will eat it together."
Fu Zhewei finally finished packing and came out of the house. He had changed into a clean old shirt and dark blue pants, but there was still a little moisture behind his ears. Seeing this scene, he paused.
"Brother, come too!" Fu Qingqing greeted him warmly, and grabbed a piece of walnut cake and stuffed it into his palm, "This is very fragrant, come and try it!"
Fu Zhewei looked down at the snack in his palm and took a bite.
The sweet and nutty flavor lingered on his tongue, and he said, "It's quite delicious."
Fu Qingqing was very happy and stuffed the remaining half into the corner of her mouth, "The things Sister Xiaoxue gave me are the most delicious."
Lin Jianxue pursed her lips and smiled softly, looking at him with a gentle and calm gaze. "Then I'll buy you some more later."
It was an early April evening, and the sky was growing dark, but the air still smelled of freshly turned earth and green grass.
A gust of wind blew by, ruffling a few strands of hair from her temples. She casually tucked them behind her ears, and the boy opposite her suddenly blushed.
Fu Zhawei was so flustered that he didn't know what to say. He could only stammer, "I'll go see... if the meal is ready."
Before he could finish his words, he had already fled into the kitchen, leaving behind only a hurried figure.
Fu Qingqing was stunned: Is this still the brother who used to scold her fiercely and sternly?
She took a bite of the walnut biscuit and then quietly turned her head to look at Lin Jianxue.
Her eyes fell on Fu Zhewei who was leaving.
Suddenly, a strange little thought arose in my heart.
While no one was around, she lowered her voice and asked:
"Sister Xiaoxue, do you... have someone you like?"
After asking this question, I feel a little regretful. People just got divorced. Was this too rash?
Lin Jianxue was only stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to normal. She lowered her eyelashes and looked at the darkening sky in the distance. A ray of sunset reflected her outline, making her whole body look particularly soft.
She said softly, "Yes."
Fu Qingqing was extremely surprised and subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"
Lin Jianxue curled up the corners of her mouth, but did not answer directly, and just said slowly:
"He's someone very important to me. So important... that I'm willing to travel all the way to Northern Xinjiang just to see him a few more times, and maybe even live with him for a few more years."
When she said this, she was not shy or pretentious, but had a frank, gentle yet extremely firm attitude, as if all the hardships were not enough to make people retreat.
The spring breeze rustled the leaves of the morning glory on the courtyard wall. The little girl listened to these words with bated breath, and her two big eyes like black grapes opened wider and wider.
Lin Jianxue turned her head and looked at her stunned expression. She couldn't help but smile. She put her index finger to her lips and made a "hush" gesture:
"But this is our secret—don't tell anyone else."
Fu Qingji's eyes widened, and then he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "No - I won't tell anyone!"
Lin Jianxue continued to peel off the candy wrapper as if nothing had happened, handed her another piece of candy, and smiled slightly.
