Chapter 104: Look at the lanterns
Zhao Chensheng opened his eyes, but he was wrapped in something furry, and he couldn't see anything, and at the same time, a hot, faint fragrance rushed into his nostrils, which reflected that he was being held by Wang Lu.
Quickly broke free from her embrace, looked up and saw Wang Lu's red and swollen eyes, and the ghost sent a sentence: "Lulu, why are you crying?"
Wang Lu had been worried about Zhao Chensheng, and couldn't help hugging Zhao Chensheng, who was squatting on the ground and sobbing, and finally the other party reacted, but before he had time to be happy, who would have thought that he would actually come to such a sentence.
Raised his right hand high and hit Zhao Chensheng's shoulder with a questioning face, and when he was about to approach, he slowed down again, and when he hit Zhao Chensheng, it was no different from beating his back.
"You're embarrassed to talk about me, if it weren't for worrying about you, would I have cried?!" Wang Lu said, couldn't help but shed tears again, and quickly reached out to wipe it away.
"I'm sorry to worry you. After finishing speaking, Zhao Chensheng stood up, reached out and dragged Wang Lu's arm, and pulled her up.
"Lulu, did you bring any cigarettes?"
"Yes," Wang Lu turned around and ran towards the car.
The bank of the river is more than ten meters away from the road, in addition to weeds and dead branches, Wang Lu ran in a hurry, I don't know what I tripped under my feet and crooked, Zhao Chensheng saw that he didn't have time to rush away, Wang Lu had already stood firm, continued to run forward, and shouted in his mouth: "You wait." β
Zhao Chensheng was moved in his heart, turned to look at the rolling river, although there was no sharp pain in his heart just now, but he was still uncomfortable.
"Here!" Wang Lu came to Zhao Chensheng's side, took out a cigarette and handed it over, blocking the wind with his hand and wanting to help Zhao Chensheng light it, but tried several times without success.
"I'll do it. Zhao Chensheng took the lighter, but still unsuccessful.
Wang Lu was in a panic, thought for a second, reached out to unzip the down jacket, and a cold wind blew in, and couldn't help but shiver.
"Hurry up, I'll block it for you with my clothes. β
Zhao Chensheng looked at Wang Lu in surprise, who was trying to open his clothes with his hands, with a cigarette in his mouth, he slowly leaned his head over, and with a "snap", a fire came out of the lighter, although the flames trembled, but they were not extinguished steadily.
"Thank you. Zhao Chensheng retracted his body and said with a puff of smoke prominent.
Wang Lu hurriedly pulled the zipper of her clothes and hugged her body tightly with her hands, thinking that she was not lightly frozen just now.
Zhao Chensheng looked at Baishahe, Wang Lu followed his gaze and looked over, neither of them spoke. Watching the river flow slowly, Zhao Chensheng's heart calmed down a lot, and he also fell into contemplation.
In the previous life, Zhao Chensheng was a loser in the eyes of others
Although he is still an ordinary person in this life, he relies on his special ability, walks very smoothly, and successfully pursues the girl he loves, has roommates who are like brothers, and has gained a lot on the road to making money, and there are confidants like Wu Wanting and Wang Lu, and have also become celebrities in the shopping mall of S City, which was unthinkable before, and now that I think about it, my life after rebirth is actually very proudγγγ
Although it is said that he will be separated from Gao Feier for three years, but because there is a gambling contract, the future can still be expected, who would have thought that Gao Feier would be with others in everything in a few months, for Zhao Chensheng, who was smooth sailing, it had to be said to be a heavy blow! The blow of love is not painful for a man.
Zhao Chensheng, who had always thought that he was successful and worked hard, was deeply shaken at this moment, and deep down in his heart Zhao Chensheng was unwilling to admit that Gao Fei'er was sorry for himself, because if he was strong enough, he would not be broken up, and Gao Fei'er would not go to a new environment without himself. Now that she thinks about it, she must be lonely in the provincial capital, right?
Zhao Chensheng took a hard puff of cigarette, although he knew that he couldn't let go of this relationship, but he had already figured out some things, and it was inevitable to face a lot of setbacks and blows in lifeγγγ
Wang Lu didn't know what Zhao Chensheng was thinking, and he didn't want to disturb him, so he had to try to observe his expression. At first, Zhao Chensheng's brows were furrowed, but then he slowly stretched, knowing that the expression on his face was completely calm in the end, although he didn't know what Zhao Chensheng's heart had experienced just now, but he felt that his mood had improved, which made Wang Lu happy in his heart.
"I didn't expect him to be more manly than usual when he was seriousγγγ Wang Lu thought to herself, her cheeks covered with red clouds.
"What's wrong with you?!"
Wang Lu realized that Zhao Chensheng had been staring at him for a while, and thought that this was a big deal.
"Noγγγ no, noγγγ
Zhao Chensheng looked at her flushed face and said with concern: "It must have caught a cold just now, let's go." β
"Oh. Wang Lu obediently followed Zhao Chensheng out of the river.
Zhao Chensheng took the first step to the side of the car, opened the door directly and sat in the driver's position, Wang Lu didn't ask, and sat directly in the co-pilot's position.
"Where are we going?" Zhao Chensheng asked.
"It's all right, listen to you. β
Zhao Chensheng looked at the time on the display screen, it was already more than five o'clock, no wonder the sky outside was so dark, at first I thought it was a change of sky.
"You wanted to see the lanterns years ago, where was it?"
"Really?! Wang Lu couldn't help cheering, she was planning to watch the lights tonight at the earliest, but because of the afternoon, she forgot about it, but now Zhao Chensheng took the initiative to mention it, and continued: "Do you know the main road to the new district? β
On the way, under Wang Lu's introduction, Zhao Chensheng knew the difference between this year's lanterns and previous years. It stands to reason that the lanterns should have started in the Lantern Festival, but this year it was several days in advance, starting from the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the lanterns were held along the Baihe River in the urban area before, but this year's chosen address is the intersection of the urban area and the undeveloped new area, because of this, the city also arranged for people to repair the riverside of the new district before the Spring Festival.
"I've heard that after the lantern was hung, it had a different flavor, and yesterday was the first day, and a lot of people went there. Wang Lu said with a yearning face.
"Okay, let's go there. Zhao Chensheng stepped on the accelerator and sped up.
Although Zhao Chensheng was like a person who had nothing to do at this time, Wang Lu used all his heart on him, and he could naturally see that he did not come out of the blow.
There were not many vehicles on the road during the Spring Festival, and the two soon reached the edge of the city, and after the car was in good condition, the two got out of the car.
"Just follow me, I haven't been here, but I'm sure I'll find a place. Wang Lu took Zhao Chensheng's arm and said proudly.
Zhao Chensheng watched the flow of people on the road walking in one direction, not to mention that the new area was desolate, and the place where he watched the lanterns must be bright, as long as he was not blind, he should be able to find a place.
"Look, you've got to the place. Wang Lu pointed to a light by the river and shouted excitedly, "Let's go, hurry up!"
The two quickened their pace and soon walked to the place. Wang Lu is right, this place does have a unique flavor. The road surface has been smoothed, and it is simply paved with some bluestone to turn its head, winding and winding I don't know where it leads, but it seems that the distance will not be short. Some small lanterns are irregularly hung on the trees on the shore, and as for some particularly large lanterns, they have been specially built on both sides of the road, and each lantern has a two-meter-high appearance, although they have only walked twenty or thirty meters, the two have seen three large lanterns of various shapes.
"It's a pity, the project of guessing the lantern riddle is only available on the day of the Lantern Festival, and I can only watch the lanterns these daysγγγ but it's so beautiful, it feels like going back to ancient times. β
Wang Lu is right, Zhao Chensheng just admired the planners here in his heart, both the main road, but also along the terrain designed a few branch roads, covered by some small trees, there is a sense of tranquility, plus tonight's moon is extraordinarily large, and the night is also extraordinarily transparent.
"Chensheng, the lanterns in S City are very historical, you see, although these lanterns are small, but each one is very distinctive. Wang Lu pointed to a lantern in the shape of a jade rabbit on the tree and continued: "I don't know the long history, but since the 80s, I have insisted on holding the Lantern Festival every year. β
"I didn't expect it to be held for so many years. Zhao Chensheng said with emotion.
"Well, I came with my parents when I was very young, and the conditions at home were not good at that time, but my father still brought me and my mother here. β
Looking at the look of remembrance on Wang Lu's face, Zhao Chensheng tightened Wang Lu's arm and said with a smile: "Then let's take a good look at the lights todayγγγ let's go all the way to the end, and don't miss every lantern." β
"Okay, no problem. β
The two walked and stopped, and before they knew it, they walked around for nearly an hour, and saw that there were many sheds on a flat land of four or five acres, and the curtain opened showed that many people were eating around the table, and the noise was particularly loud, and there were many people who wanted to come to eat.
"I didn't expect to sell food here, let's go, let's go and pad our stomachs first." Wang Lu said while tugging Zhao Chensheng's arm.
"Okay, whatever. β
Although they are all small stalls, they smell good along the way, Wang Lu has made a lot of money from these dozen small rice shops, and finally chose a small rice shop that sells fried noodles.
"Chensheng, do you want to drink?" asked Wang Lu to Zhao Chensheng, who was sitting opposite.
"Wellγγγ that's good. β
Wang Lu went to the suggestion counter and looked at it, chose a half-catty bottle of liquor, and took two glasses.
"Lulu, let's drive, it's okay, let's drive again tomorrow, don't spoil the fun. β
"Oh well. β
Because the fried noodles were not good yet, the two of them just took small sips of wine, Zhao Chensheng found that Wang Lu had been smiling and moaning tonight, and his mood was much better when he looked at her expression for no reason.
"Lulu, you're not the same today as usual. β
Wang Lu showed a questioning expression, and Zhao Chensheng smiled and did not answer. Wang Lu looks like an ordinary little girl who goes out shopping tonight, everything is fresh, although she is not jubilant, but she is also elated.
"Come, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
Zhao Chensheng quickly finished eating his noodles, Wang Lu saw this, and gave a large part of the noodles in his bowl to Zhao Chensheng, Zhao Chensheng wanted to refuse, Wang Lu glared and said, "I still have to save some stomach to eat something else." β
After eating, the two of them took another turn in the small restaurant, and Wang Lu bought another oden and ate it while walking.
"Let's go on. β
Walking farther and farther, the two came to the bend of the river, which was the piece of land that Zhao Chensheng and Wu Jianjun first bought, Wang Lu swallowed the last pill, and teased Zhao Chensheng: "You and Mr. Wu are really good eyesightγγγ
"What? I don't understand. Zhao Chensheng said with a smile, his eyes looked at the lanterns on the island in the middle of the river, which was a combination of several lanterns, any of which was more than twice as large as the big lanterns he saw on the road.
"You just pretendγγγ it seems that this place will be planned as a recreation center for citizens in the future, and the nearby land, that is, you bought, is close to the river, far away from the center of the new district, except for planning as a commercial house, I can't think of any better project." I'm right, right?" Wang Lu said as he stared at Zhao Chensheng's face.
"Ahem, I hope itγγγ"
"Hmph!" Wang Lu turned his face away, also looked at the center of the river and smiled, and said: "It's a pity that you can't go up now, but if you plan it in the future, it must be very good to go up and play." β
The two stayed for a while, and after continuing to walk for a short time, they reached the end, so they had to go back the way they came, and continue to enjoy the lanterns on the road.
"Chensheng, do you remember Ouyang Xiu's "Yuan Xi"?" Without waiting for Zhao Chensheng to answer, Wang Lu read it himself: "On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was as light as day. The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same. I don't see last year's people, what a beautiful word γγγ the sleeves of my tear-wet spring shirt, the lively night scene, the bustling crowd, just like tonight, I'm really afraid that I'll be alone next year, just like in the words. β
Imagining next year's scene, Wang Lu had red eyes, looked at Zhao Chensheng and asked, "Next year, can you continue to accompany me to see the lanterns?"
What happened today, Zhao Chensheng has a kind of desolation that things are not people, many certain people and things, with the passage of time, no one knows what will happen in the future, just listening to the familiar words read by Wang Lu, for the first time I have a heartfelt resonance with this word, and my heart aches again.
Therefore, Zhao Chensheng could understand Wang Lu's feelings and requirements at the moment, looked at her expectant eyes, smiled hard, and said seriously: "Okay, let's come back next year." β
"Really?" Wang Lu asked timidly, for fear that he had heard it wrong just now or that Zhao Chensheng had said it wrong.
"Really!" Zhao Chensheng nodded heavily.
