"Didn't you say okay, I'm having a treat today", as Li Luo came out of the hot pot restaurant, I followed a few steps and walked side by side with him, "How can you secretly go to the checkout by yourself." ”

"Something handy. What's more, he specially instructed me not to let the girl pay. "When he saw me catching up, he deliberately slowed down. We walked along a quiet path that extended from the hot pot restaurant, and no one suggested going back, but we got closer and closer to the Nanling River.

"Zheng Duan, listening to your description, he seems to understand very well. ”

Although he is young, he has a good family background, and he is sunny and cheerful, so the relationship between the opposite sex will naturally not be bad. ”

"I feel like your relationship with the opposite sex won't be bad, there should be quite a lot of girls chasing you. The girl I saw in your team last time was called Zhu ...... It's the short-haired one, which is interesting to you. "I finally talked about Li Lu's gossip, and I became interested and remembered the girl who had a relationship.

"Scarlett, you say, she's the daughter of our old captain, I've known her for five or six years, and she's still a child. Li Lu was not in a hurry to refute, but just explained lightly, and his tone was more like an elder commenting on a junior, even if the other party was not a few years old from him. By the light obscured by the shade of the trees, I couldn't see his expression clearly, only the little light in his eyes.

Hearing him say this, there was nothing for me to continue to extend, so I had to stop on the road of gossip. The secluded path we chose was actually a downhill road, and we couldn't walk at the end of the twists and turns, but we felt that we were getting closer and closer to the river, and when we didn't speak, we could even hear the sound of wetness by the water's edge and smell the smell of wetness. I don't know when we have been far away from the busy streets, away from the bustling crowds, and even away from all light sources except the moon, in the transparent darkness, the stone steps are round and slippery, the insects are constantly chirping, and the surroundings are quiet and mysterious.

I didn't bother to speak, but carefully watched my feet, lest I inadvertently slip on the soles of my feet and fall into the bushes in embarrassment.

"If it's slippery, you can catch me." Li Luo noticed my abnormality at some point, and suddenly stretched out his hand to me, the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing a small thin and powerful forearm.

“…… Well, that's not good", quiet and uninhabited, between lonely men and widows, it's not appropriate to hold hands casually.

"I mean, you can hold my arm so that the soles of your feet don't slip and fall on your heels," he said, turning his face slightly to look at me, an angle that accentuated the straightness of his nose, as if to prove his unselfish integrity. And his eyes, with a smile that can't be hidden, are like willow branches blown by the spring breeze, flexible and gentle.

"Then trouble you, comrade policeman, lend me an arm", his expression was sincere and supple, and he couldn't see that it was inappropriate, but it made me feel that I was making a big fuss, so he graciously grabbed Li Lu's forearm.

With the help of the force, the feet are really much lighter, but as the problem of slippery roads intensifies, soon, Li Lu is completely reduced to the existence of a tool man. It wasn't until we got down the last step, and we both stood on the riverside boardwalk, that I realized that I was holding his hand, and I was a little too hard.

"I'm sorry, I didn't seem to scratch you too hard. I quickly let go of my hand and apologized to him. The tool man Li Lu just raised his arm to tidy up his cuffs and shook his head.

"I didn't expect to come to the river, but it's a bit of a willow and a flower. I smiled at him embarrassedly, and immediately attracted my attention by the light strips lit up by a row of buildings on the opposite bank, and hurriedly ran to the fence by the river, beckoning Li Lu to come and see, "I have never been here at night." ”

"Opposite is the Nanling Development Zone, which has just been built for a few years", Li Luo walked slowly to my side, also standing against the railing, and inadvertently, his elbows touched mine. "Take a walk after eating, breathe, and it's good for your body. ”

It must be admitted that instead of rushing back after dinner, we let ourselves go astray, which was a tacit choice between the two of us.

"Is there a fishing boat on the river, there, there is a little light there", I looked around excitedly, and suddenly saw a black shadow floating on the river, melting into the night, and I couldn't really see it.

"Yes, probably a fishing boat returning at night. Li Lu followed the direction of my finger, hesitated at first, and quickly confirmed the answer.

"You've got such a good look in your eyes. It's also great, I love this kind of place, the nature that is not disturbed by people, and it always makes people feel comfortable and reassured. I can't help but say this, because I really enjoy the feeling: the silence around me, the city people are left behind, friends are around, there is no noise that interrupts the rhythm of the tide crashing on the shore, and there is no trace of chemical manufacturing that disturbs the fragrance of leaves and earth. The thought of eternity came again, and I felt sad because of the eternal existence, convinced that I was a tree without roots, water without a source, struggling back and forth in the waters of time and space.

Hell knows how much I wanted to live that short, but ordinary life, as Hesse wrote, "through a crevice into a little peaceful world, and settle there." ”

"Do you want to continue walking along the river", Li Lu indulged in my intoxication, and after a while, he picked me up from the evening breeze in a daze. I was embarrassed that I had just forgotten my feelings, so I hurriedly withdrew from my fantasy and motioned for Li Lu to move on.

The water next to us is not the best choice to enjoy the river view, and there is no corresponding riverside square and supporting facilities, only a lonely plank road that extends forward in the direction of the water. So no one will take this road, except for the occasional young man who runs at night passing by, more often, we only have silent each other and the endless river in our field of vision.

"After descending from the stone steps, we seem to have forgotten the responsibility of language in our memory. As I walked, I suddenly remembered the beginning of a poem I had read and recited it softly.

"This is your work?"

"Of course not, although I used to think about being a poet, but unfortunately I didn't have that talent, so I could only retell what others had written. ”

"Actually, you are quite like a poet, sometimes like a scholar, and more often, like a child. For some reason, Li Luo suddenly began to define me. However, did he just say Zhu Sijia not long ago? He is not a person who does not like children's hearts.

"Why, I think I'm naïve", still implying that I lie and am often full of loopholes.

"That's not true, it's just that you sometimes don't play cards according to common sense, it's weird and cute", when Li Lu said this, his eyes were as deep and quiet as ever, but his smile was like the moon in his arms, and the breeze was blowing on his face. His serious compliment made me instantly embarrassed.

"yes, hahaha, I'm cute. "I was giggling and sloppy, this Li Lu, I almost thought he was flirting with me, but his next words unexpectedly broke the slightly warming atmosphere between us.

"We've known each other for so many days, you know what I do, where I live, who I am — so shouldn't you let me know a little bit about you, like from who you are? "I kind of understand, Li Luo has recently changed his tricks to update his words, praising me for being cute, and "sacrificing" my hue, in the final analysis, he still wants to get closer to me and find out my details.

But to put it bluntly, he has the right to know the truth.

"You, I told you that I am a private detective, and you don't believe it, then I can only tell you the truth", at this time, I thought Li Lu was cute, and I ran forward a few steps, turned back and grimaced at him, and my heart was unprecedentedly relaxed, "I am your good neighbor, a fortune teller, and a magic artist—I, I'm a heavenly master." ”
