"Sister Xiaoxue... wuwu... you saved my life! From now on, I will be your slave. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to chase a dog, I will never catch a chicken!"
Lin Jianxue was amused by her words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She stretched out her other hand and gently pushed Fu Qingqing's forehead:
"Alright, alright, silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? It just happened that I had some money on hand at the time, so I'm glad I could help. It's not a big deal, so don't take it to heart. Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Fu Zhewei had kept his eyes down, but at this moment he slowly raised them and looked at her deeply.
His eyes fell on Lin Jianxue's quiet and gentle profile. The light cast a hazy halo on her delicate skin, and her long eyelashes cast a light shadow under her eyelids.
When she spoke, there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which made people want to keep looking at her and listening to her.
His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end his Adam's apple just rolled. He lowered his head silently, picked up the chopsticks, silently picked up a piece of cabbage and stuffed it into his mouth.
Some gratitude is too heavy to be expressed easily.
Some feelings are too secretive and can only be hidden deep in the heart.
The meal gradually came to an end amid Fu Qingqing's chatter.
Fu Qingqing ate until her belly was full. She burped contentedly and then began to clean up the dishes on the table with swift hands and feet.
Lin Jianxue looked outside the yard.
The sky was completely dark, with only a few sparse stars hanging on the dark blue velvet curtain. The faint barking of dogs in the distance made the surroundings even quieter.
Fu Qingqing walked to the door with the dishes in her hand. Suddenly, she turned around, looked at Lin Jianxue with sparkling eyes, and suggested enthusiastically: "Sister Xiaoxue, it's so dark now, and the road is hard to walk on. How about... don't go back to the educated youth camp tonight, and stay at my house? Just share a bed with me! Although my bed is not big, it will definitely be no problem for two people to sleep in it!"
Lin Jianxue was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Before she could answer, Fu Zhewei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"That broken wooden bed of yours? I think it's hard to sleep on it with just you. What if it collapses in the middle of the night with another person?"
"Oh, brother!" Fu Qingqing stamped her feet, her face slightly red. "How can that be exaggerated! My bed is very sturdy!"
Fu Zhawei ignored his sister's protest and turned his gaze to Lin Jianxue. The dim light cast a deep shadow on his well-defined face, but his eyes were a little softer than before:
"It's really late, and the wind is strong at night. You're wearing thin clothes. Wait here for a moment. I'll go inside to get you a coat. Don't get cold walking at night."
In the spring in northern Xinjiang, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large.
It may still be a little warm during the day, but as soon as the sun sets, the cold air immediately comes from all directions, especially when walking on the empty dirt road on the ridge of the field, the wind blowing on the face is like a knife.
Lin Jianxue responded softly: "Okay."
Fu Zhewei nodded, turned around and walked into the house. When he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and turned back to Fu Qingqing who was still standing there: "Do you have a clean coat? Lend me one for Jianxue."
Fu Qingqing rolled her eyes and deliberately raised her voice to ask, "Brother, don't you have several coats? I think your gray one is pretty good. Why don't you give yours to Sister Xiaoxue? It's definitely warmer than mine!"
As soon as he said this, Fu Zhewei's steps suddenly stopped, and a suspicious blush seemed to quietly spread to his ears. He turned abruptly, took a few steps to Fu Qingqing, reached out, and accurately twisted his sister's ear, half dragging her into the house.
"You're the only one who talks too much! Go find some clothes!"
"Ouch! It hurts! Brother! Be gentle! I'll find it! I'll find it right away!" Fu Qingqing shouted exaggeratedly and was "escorted" into the room by her brother.
Lin Jianxue was the only one left in the yard. She stood there, watching the brother and sister playing around, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved up into a slight arc.
After a while, Fu Zhewei walked out of the house alone, holding a light green women's thin coat in his hand.
He walked up to Lin Jianxue and handed her his coat: "Put it on, it can keep out the wind."
Fu Qingqing poked her head out from the window, waved to Lin Jianxue who was standing in the yard, and called out with a smile:
"Sister Xiaoxue, be careful on the road!"
The carefree look of this little girl made Lin Jianxue feel that saving her was the best thing she had done since her rebirth.
