Chapter 14: The Three-Day Covenant

Hefang Street walks out of the willow waves and warblers, the road is a little long, so long that the emotions are hidden in the night.

Being able to walk hand in hand with the people around you for a while, she accompanies you, you accompany her, and don't think about anything, which is also a kind of happiness that you can't ask for.

There is an old man in the park who is playing erhu, in fact, there are often old people here who come to find some fun for themselves at night.

Unlike those commercial streets with bright lights, there are young people playing deafening pop music.

The atmosphere here should always be quieter, and you can't bear to make unnecessary noises.

Gu Nanjia withdrew his hand without a trace, and leaned forward with great interest...

The timbre of the erhu is lingering, and although I can't hear what the song is, there are still many people who stop.

It seems that I can see a woman of the Republic of China wearing a luxurious cheongsam, standing by the West Lake sadly, whispering about the melancholy of this world.

It wasn't until the end of the song that the old man took the instrument and staggered away, and the crowd seemed to suddenly trance, leaking sparse applause.

As if suddenly losing interest, Gu Nanjia found a bench to sit down and lowered her eyebrows.

"What? miss him?"

Su Qiming leaned back in his chair and looked at the West Lake in the night, his voice was soft, and he couldn't hear whether he was annoyed or sighed.

The girl's shoulders stiffened, and she buried her head again.

"It's been a long time since I've been out with the two of them, and I'm in the same city, but I feel like the one who was left in Hangzhou..."

"His family conditions are good, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing after graduation, but I always feel that I can't rely on my parents to live my whole life, and I blame me for putting my mind on social practice before, he may have been tired of it a long time ago..."

"Think about it, when I was young in high school, I just thought it would be good to like it, but later I realized that only liking is not enough..."

"Not to mention the house and car, I'm already exhausted just to eat enough, how can I care about those things that can't be seen or touched..."

"People are like this, no matter how intimate the relationship is, if you don't contact each other for a long time, you will become like a stranger, and even meeting each other has become a burden..."

"Do you say that growing up is like this, always unable to catch up with the right time to do the right thing, and end up empty-handed after going around and around?"

Su Qiming sighed a little, after living alone for a long time, he is always very sensitive to the feeling of loneliness.

Although he is a few years older, this is not the same as not being able to preach in the face of the children he teaches.

To put it bluntly, I don't have the confidence and qualifications to comfort others.

What can I say? I still use this nondescript relationship to escape from reality, anesthetize myself and say that this is because the climate in Jiangnan is too warm and humid, which makes people feel insincere.

Sighing, gently rubbing the bench under him, the wooden seat has been old for a long time, and it is no longer as bright as it seems, some potholes...

"Don't push yourself too hard. ”

hesitated for a long time to squeeze out such a sentence, but it seemed so thin and ridiculous, and he couldn't even convince himself.

Gu Nanjia raised her head and tried to squeeze out a smile at him.

It's not about comforting others, it's enough for someone to be willing to listen to their own complaints.

It's been a long, long time, and I can't find anyone to talk to.

In fact, as long as some words are spoken, and fall into the ears of another person, they are not afraid that the gloom in their breasts will hit the cold wall and turn back to themselves.

"Eat?" Su Qiming flipped through the snack pocket beside him and took out two big blessings.

Some didn't understand what he meant, and the girl tilted her head, unexpectedly cute.

"I've heard that when you're in a bad mood, you need to eat something sweet. ”

As he spoke, he tore open the bag and took a bite before handing out the other one.

was a little stunned by what he said, Gu Nanjia subconsciously reached out and took it and bit down a little bit.

The matcha-flavored Daifuku is slightly bitter in the mouth, but the sweetness of the glutinous rice bursts out when you chew two more bites, and the soft and glutinous taste of Daifuku hits the taste buds.

I know it's a gesture that the other party uses to comfort, but for some reason, it seems to really make me feel better.

Well, I didn't smile right away, but I really didn't want to cry that much.

"Dr. Su, come with me. "The voice is a little empty and distant.

April is not the season to visit the lake, and the West Lake is a little empty without the noisy lights.

Fortunately, there were many passers-by who went to the Qian Wang Temple, but they didn't feel lonely.

Su Qiming looked at the girl beside him who didn't say a word, his heart was inexplicably a little sour, and he wanted to reach out and wrap his hand around her shoulder, but he felt that he didn't have that qualification yet.

The night breeze by the lake was a little cool, Gu Nanjia couldn't help but sneeze, the previous cold was not good, and he couldn't stand the cold.

The people who are still wandering around the West Lake at night, except for some half-grown children in groups of three or five, are mostly couples snuggling together.

As if drawing some courage from passers-by, Su Qiming took off his blazer and put it on Gu Nanjia's shoulders.

After a pause, she didn't look up, but just pulled the men's coat on her body, and the faint smell of tobacco broke into her nose, and she seemed to be able to feel a little residual body temperature.

Then she reached out and took the initiative to take his palm.

"Teacher Su. Deliberately changed to a brisk tone, "There are three days left..."

There are three days left, the summit is about to end, and he is going back to Jincheng, and there will be no intersection again.

"I'm sorry. Su Qiming turned his head, a little unbearable to see her pretending not to care.

"Why apologize? Why don't I be your tour guide, it's rare to come once, there are many interesting places in Hangzhou, not only West Lake, but also Xianghu Lake, Wushan, Xixi Wetland, and it's not bad to be willing to go a little farther to Qiandao Lake..."

Fine sweat appeared in her palms, and she held him tighter again, and her fingertips turned a little white.

The composure of the pretense is too fake, but it makes people can't bear to pierce it.

He twitched his hand, but he didn't pull it out, causing her to look at her in bewilderment, so he had to raise his other hand and pat her head gently.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. ”

Why? After living in vain for more than 20 years, in the end he will only hide under the appearance of "Doctor Su", and only dare to secretly stretch out a little tentacle in the dead of night.

It was obviously his own waves, but he had already flinched in front of her twice.

It turned out that I didn't have the courage of a little girl.

"Don't worry, Mr. Su, I only need three days, and I will never be greedy for a second. ”

Joy and excitement crept up on his brows, and he didn't know if it was the previous dessert that had worked, or if the promise had just filled his heart.

Gu Nanjia let go of his hand and took two steps back with a smile.

The dark men's coat was too calm to match her style today, but she was so happy that she didn't want to let go for a moment.
