The temperature in T City has dropped continuously in the past few days, reaching subzero. This morning, the flawless white snow fell from the sky, like beautiful silver butterflies dancing.
Lin Zhixia wore a long down jacket that reached her knees, but she still felt shivering from the cold wind. She wrapped her clothes tightly and walked quickly towards the kindergarten. Although she has now moved to Li Ci's house, it is still very close to Jingchang Yiyou, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.
It snowed heavily, so Lin Zhixia walked slower than usual. It was a little late when she arrived at the kindergarten. Parents were already dropping off their children at the school gate one after another. She didn't dare to delay. After putting down her bag, she quickly stood at the school gate to pick up their children.
Today is Monday. Some children have not yet gotten over the holiday mood. They started crying directly at the school gate and refused to enter the school. The teachers tried their best to coax the children into the classroom happily.
Fortunately, the snow only lasted for half the day, and the sky was clear all the way back.
…
When school was over, Lin Zhixia stood at the school gate to see off her children. She was always the one who picked up and dropped off the children, so that she knew the parents of every child in the class.
After seeing off the children, Lin Zhixia took her bag and walked out of the school with the nursery teacher, Teacher Chen. Just as she was about to say goodbye to Teacher Chen, a black off-road Mercedes-Benz parked next to her, and a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car. He walked towards her and called out: "Zhi Xia."
Lin Zhixia looked at Zhang Fan standing in front of her and was stunned, forgetting to react for a moment.
Teacher Chen beside her reminded her in a low voice: "Teacher Lin, is this handsome guy...your partner?"
"No," Lin Zhixia retorted directly with a hard tone.
Zhang Fan looked at this face that had appeared in his mind for six consecutive years. He was thinking a little crazy. His mood was not as calm as it appeared on his face at the moment. He wanted to go forward and hug her, and hug her tightly. In his arms, but he knew that he couldn't, let alone dare not.
"Zhi Xia, you've moved," he had gone to the place where she lived several times to wait, but never waited.
Lin Zhixia slowly recovered, turned sideways without looking at him, and said to Teacher Chen beside her: "Teacher Chen, you should get off work first, and pay attention to safety on the road."
Teacher Chen looked at Lin Zhixia and Zhang Fan with a smile in his eyes, "Then you guys chat slowly, I'll leave first."
After Teacher Chen left, Lin Zhixia tried her best to behave naturally and said to the man standing in front of her: "Come to pick up the child?" But her hand holding the bag tightly showed how nervous she was at the moment.
Zhang Fan looked straight at Lin Zhixia, "No, I'm here to see you today."
"Find me?"
Lin Zhixia's eyes were hot, and she held back the tears that almost came out. She only felt it was a little funny. Is there anything else to talk about between them? Wasn’t there nothing left to say as early as six years ago?
"Zhixia, we can..."
Just as Zhang Fan was about to speak, a military off-road vehicle slowly stopped in front of Zhang Fan's black Mercedes-Benz. The back seat door opened, and Li Ci, wearing a military uniform, got out of the car and shouted in his cold voice: " Zhi Xia!”
Lin Zhixia looked stupidly at Li Ci who got out of the car. She saw him putting his hand on the open car door and smiling at her. When she saw her looking at him, he closed the car door and walked directly towards her.
Li Ci walked up to the two of them. Out of a man's instinct, he clearly felt the unusual awkward atmosphere between them. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and his eyes looked at Lin Zhixia with a faint smile and asked: "Who is this?"
When Lin Zhixia saw Li Ci asking her, she put her hands around Li Ci's arms, raised her head and replied, "I'm asking for directions." She inexplicably didn't want him to know about her past with Zhang Fan. She couldn't tell the reason why. , just subconsciously don’t want to.
Zhang Fan looked at the intimate relationship between the two people in front of him, and the hands hanging on his sides clenched tightly unconsciously. When he first came back, he knew that she was not married yet. He was secretly happy at that time. She was still late at this age. Chi Wei is married, and he thinks she must not have forgotten him yet, and has not let go of her feelings from back then.
But now, she was in front of him, holding another man's arm intimately, and that man seemed so outstanding, and he began to have some doubts about his previous thoughts.
The reason why Lin Zhixia took the initiative to hold Li Ci's arm was because she wanted to escape Zhang Fan's eyes as soon as possible. Although she was married now and planned to let go of the past, she still couldn't treat him like an ordinary person for a while. , face him without any distractions.
She looked at Li Ci who suddenly appeared in front of her, and said anxiously: "When did you come back? Let's go back now?"
Li Ci looked at Lin Zhixia steadily, with no obvious emotion in his deep eyes.
Lin Zhixia realized that her reaction was a bit exaggerated. She touched her hair unconsciously, "Well, I just think it's too cold outside and want to go back early. You also know that I'm afraid of the cold."
Li Ci took out his arm, took Lin Zhixia's hand again and said, "Okay," he raised his head and smiled at Zhang Fan standing opposite, nodded, and walked towards the car parked next to him.
Zhang Fan clutched his hand so tightly that he couldn't even feel the pain when his nails dug into his flesh. He watched the man thoughtfully open the car door for her, then he went around to the other end and drove the door in. In the end, only what was left could not be seen clearly. A little black spot lingered in his mind.
In the car, Lin Zhixia and Li Ci were both sitting in the back seat. Someone was driving in the cab in front today. As soon as she got in the car, she was called "sister-in-law" and her face turned red to her neck.
When they arrived at the community, Li Ci said to Xiao Feng who was driving, "You can go back directly."
"Captain, what about changing the dressing for your injuries?"
Xiao Feng turned to look at Li Ci. After he finished speaking, he patted his forehead and laughed silly, "Isn't there a sister-in-law? I forgot about it." Then he looked at Lin Zhixia and said, "Sister-in-law, Then please help the captain change his medicine."
Lin Zhixia's heart felt inexplicably tense when she heard this. This man disappeared for such a long time and came back with injuries. She never knew that his job was so dangerous. She asked in an unconscious and nervous tone: "How could he be injured?" Injuried?"
"Just this time when I was acting, a new recruit who just joined the army was so nervous that he threw the grenade beside him. It was the captain who saved him," Xiao Feng was talking enthusiastically, but was caught by a piercing look. His whole body felt cold when he saw it, and he quickly changed his words and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just a scratch on the skin."
Lin Zhixia turned to look at Li Ci and asked worriedly: "It's really not serious?"
Li Ci did not directly reply to Lin Zhixia's words. He just opened the car door and got out of the car. He walked around to the other side, opened the car door and gently pulled Lin Zhixia out.
Seeing the captain who had already gotten out of the car, Xiao Feng quickly got down from the cab, opened the trunk, took out Li Ci's luggage and handed it to Lin Zhixia, and finally said uneasily: "Sister-in-law, actually the captain's injury is a bit serious, please trouble you Take more care of him," he said without looking at Li Ci and drove away in a hurry.
