Three melons and two dates

Chapter 8: Reminiscing the past, Yuzhang Township

Who is Lin Xinian?

Xie Huanxiu's only "rival" at Lushan Academy.

Before Xie Huanxiu came to Lushan and was discharged from the hospital, Lin Xinian had always been the student with the best grades in the academy and the most diligent student.Xie Huanxiu surpassed him, but he didn't say anything. There was a reason why he hated him.

The first time Xie Huanxiu was cried by Li Rao and the others was when the academy refused to leave.Lin Xinian met Shuyan outside the academy, who was in a hurry like spinning a top, and asked if he needed help.

At that time, Lin Xinian was like a divine soldier descending from the sky to Shu Yan, solving his urgent needs.

After Lin Xinian inquired about Shuyan's identity and purpose, he took him in to find Xie Huanxiu.

Xie Huanxiu saw Shuyan and was about to complain, but saw Lin Xinian, he was too busy to go back, got up, straightened his clothes, and saluted, "Brother Laolin is here."

Lin Xinian returned the gift.

With such a good kung fu, Xie Huanxiu saw Shu Yan and looked at him twice.Feeling displeased, he didn't say anything.

After returning home, Xie Huanxiu was crying and losing his temper, criticizing a bunch of Li Rao and the others in front of Shu Yan.

Li Rao and these young dudes who have become little devils not only like to tease Xie Huanxiu, but also make fun of the name "Goudaner" many times, how could Shuyan not know them.

Hey, Shuyan sighed, patted Xie Huanxiu's head, and accidentally said something from the bottom of his heart, "Tianguan, don't cry. You will be a master in the future, it's not good to cry all the time. You Look at Mr. Lin..."

"Mr. Lin? Lin Xinian! What is he doing?" Xie Huanxiu was irritated by Shuyan's words.

"Do you like him? I saw it. Today you sneaked a few glances at him!"

Shu Yan nodded, "Yeah, you see Mr. Lin is very good, he knew I was called a dog, and he didn't make fun of me..."

The gentle and polite Lin Xinian left a particularly deep impression on Shuyan.When he was looking at Lin Xinian, he kept thinking about what Xie Huanxiu would look like when he was his age, and whether he would be like him instead of being so childish.

Shuyan is only two years older than Xie Huanxiu, but mentally, he is much older than Xie Huanxiu.In Shuyan's eyes, Xie Huanxiu is not just a younger brother, but sometimes more like a son, always hoping that he will mature soon.

Nine-year-old Xie Huanxiu seems to be getting younger and younger as he lives. The sensible and well-behaved people in the past are all gone, and the books he reads are particularly sad.

The name "dog egg" has been teased by Li Rao and the others. It's not that Xie Huanxiu has never thought about changing Shu Yan's name, but he just thought about it.In his opinion, Brother Goudan is Brother Goudan, why should he change his own name just because of other people's few words.

Xie Huanxiu is a person who can't see others treating Shuyan well.Including Xie's father and mother, even if they were serving Shuyan with food, Xie Huanxiu would frown and put half a plate of food for Shuyan without saying a word, to show that I am the best for you of.

If it was someone else Xie Huanxiu, how could Xie Huanxiu bear it.

"Hmph!" Xie Huanxiu was so angry that he really wanted to yell at Shuyan's ears.But he was clear in his heart, it was purely stupid to yell at Shuyan now, it seemed that he was making trouble for no reason, wasn't it pushing people towards Lin Xinian.He didn't say much, he snorted heavily, interrupted Shu Yan's next words, turned his back, expressing his displeasure.

Shuyan couldn't do anything about him, so he stopped mentioning Lin Xinian.

A few days later, when Xie Huanxiu was practicing calligraphy, he suddenly called Shuyan over.Pointing to the two large characters just written on the table, pause each word, and point to Shuyan with his finger, "Book, inkstone, Xie Shuyan."

Xie Huanxiu looked at Shuyan with those bright eyes, "Is it nice, from now on, Li Rao and the others will never laugh at your name again."

Seeing his firm tone, Shu Yan smiled, and said silently in his heart, "Xie--Shu-yan, Xie...has a surname."

"Shu Yan, you haven't answered me yet!" Xie Huanxiu said all over his face, praise me quickly, praise me quickly.

"Hmm! The ones taken by the heavenly officials are all nice."

Xie Huanxiu raised his head high, thinking that now his brother Goudan would not have any special impression of Lin Xinian, after all no one would laugh at the name Xie Shuyan.

In this way, Shuyan officially changed its name.

Regardless of just this trivial matter, Xie Huanxiu remembered Lin Xinian's four years, who made him the first and only outsider who praised Lin Xinian after Shuyan accompanied him to Lushan Academy.

This will be preached by Lin Xinian, no matter whether what he said is reasonable or not, whether it is for his own good or not, Xie Huanxiu will not listen to a word.I just feel that Lin Xinian is laughing at him for his poor grades.Tan Fuzi has mentioned Xie Huanxiu a few times recently that he is not as hardworking as Lin Xinian in his studies, and sooner or later he will be left behind.

Xie Huanxiu was still unconvinced at the time, this time the exam really answered the words of Master Tan, how could Xie Huanxiu, who has "new enmity plus old enmity", listen to it.

"Thank you Brother Lin for your advice, Huan Xiu dare not take it." After saying this, Xie Huanxiu turned around and left.

Leaving Lin Xinian with a wry smile on the spot, he knew that Xie Huanxiu didn't seem to like him very much, and he hesitated for a long time to talk to him today, but he really couldn't stand Xie Huanxiu's depressed appearance.I'm afraid that he will never recover from this fall, that would be a pity.

Although it is said that "a gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is a gentleman", Xie Huanxiu learns from the sage's words and practices the sage's deeds, and he should never talk about others behind others, but there is no need to talk about these things with Shuyan, if Lin Xinian is like Li Rao and the others. Yes, Xie Huanxiu wished he could tell Lin Xinian [-] times in front of Shuyan every day.

"You said, Lin Xinian is not angry. Isn't it because he did better than me in the exam this time, so he ran over to teach me a lesson. When did I tell him what to do?"

Shuyan looked at Xie Huanxiu who was accusing Lin Xinian while eating, and chose to remain silent.

This was the most time Xie Huanxiu ate after his grades came out. Shuyan was afraid that he would stop eating if he opened his mouth.

But Xie Huanxiu is still waiting for Shu Yan to agree with his words, how can he let him go, "Don't just patronize eating, tell me I'm right."

"Come on."

"Eat after talking, I won't fight with you."

Seeing that Xie Huanxiu didn't eat anymore, Shuyan waited for himself to agree with his words, silently swallowed the food in his mouth, and glanced at Xie Huanxiu.Although he didn't have much contact with him, he really didn't believe that Lin Xi Nianhui was this kind of person. Finally, he looked at the rice in the bowl and whispered, "Mr. Lin, that shouldn't be the meaning..."

Although Shuyan's voice was getting smaller and smaller, Xie Huanxiu, who had sharp ears and eyes, could still hear clearly.

"I knew that Lin Xinian was better than me in everything in your eyes, you would rather believe him than me!" After Xie Huanxiu yelled this sentence, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran out.

Shuyan hurriedly chased him out, Xie Huanxiu turned his head as if he had eyes behind his back, and said loudly, "Don't follow me, it's annoying."

Shuyan paused and said "Oh".

Although the voice was not loud, Xie Huanxiu heard it and knew that he was indeed following behind. He felt a little better, and continued to walk forward without slowing down.

Shu Yan didn't know whether to follow or not, he looked at the direction that Xie Huanxiu was heading towards the academy, but he was still worried, and followed him from a distance, watching him enter the gate of the academy, he refused to leave for a long time, fearing that something would happen again.

After Xie Huanxiu entered the academy, instead of going to the academy, he went to find Master Tan.

Most of the students in the academy are a little afraid of Master Tan.Tan Fuzi seems to be calm and calm, like an exiled immortal, and sometimes he speaks weirdly, but it makes people feel that he is unfathomable and awe-inspiring.

On the contrary, Xie Huanxiu, the teacher in the academy he likes the most is the teacher Tan, there is no other reason, the sometimes deviant behavior of the teacher Tan makes him feel familiar, especially like his enlightenment mentor, Master Ji, Ji Yuan.

So when there is something to do, the first thing he chooses is to talk to his master.

"Master, I want to ask for leave to go home for a few days..."

Master Tan squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "Because the lie was exposed?"

On the day when Xie Huanxiu's lie was exposed, Mr. Tan was already outside the school, and he was not in a hurry to go in, just to see how Xie Huanxiu would react.

"Cultivate literary and martial arts, sell it to the emperor's family", whoever comes to Lushan Academy to study is not for this purpose.But in Yunbo's treacherous court, honest people are doomed to have no place to stand.

Xie Huanxiu, a talented young man, has a smooth journey, and he looks so much like someone.He didn't want to see Xie Huanxiu repeat the same mistakes and follow that man's old path.

It is easier to sharpen your mind when you encounter more hardships when you are young.

Xie Huanxiu's test scores were specially evaluated by Mr. Tan, otherwise, with his intelligence, even if he answered with his eyes closed, he would not be reduced to the same level as Li Rao, an ignorant dude.

Looking at Xie Huanxiu's sluggish appearance these days, the culprit Tan Fuzi has no shame.In his opinion, if you can't get over this kind of thing, and your will is depressed from now on, then it's better to be like this.

Why bother to train-teach with your heart, anyway, it is doomed to fail in the end, so it's better to go home and farm earlier, what career is there.
