Chapter 11: The Beach
Gao Tianlang parked the car and walked out. He pulled out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, and was about to light it when his phone rang. He glanced at it, stuffed it back into his pocket, and lit his cigarette.
The mobile phone in his pocket kept ringing, he ignored it, this was Shen Na's phone, he knew that once he answered the phone, then today's rest would be in vain, and this girl would definitely come to him in a stalker. He didn't want to spend part of his hard-earned rest with that girl.
He came to the seashore, climbed up a reef and sat down, leaning against it to blow the sea breeze. As a man who grew up by the sea, he has a lover-like attachment to the sea. The waves crashed against the reef, sending up sprays several meters high and falling in bursts of mist. Gao Tianlang didn't move, not only did he not dodge the mist, but he also raised his face to meet it. This is the unique coolness of summer in City C, he enjoys it, there is no spring, no autumn, and no winter in this city, he has lived in City C for many years, for him, every day is the same, every year is the same. He does not envy other places, nor does he envy places where the four seasons are distinct. He believes that summer is the best season. And here, too, it's only summer.
The city is full of modernity, a typical cultural desert, where there are no famous people, no ancient buildings left over from history, and no cultural allusions full of educational significance. The city, as if it had emerged from the bottom of the sea, was as clean as the sea. For the city, he will always be like a child in his mother's arms, forever attached. What he hates the most is a business trip, because he doesn't want to leave City C for a minute, and every time he goes out to investigate, he looks down on City C on the plane, and he will have a morbid reluctance in his heart.
Gao Tianlang knew in his heart that he loved this place so much because this city had never hurt him, and this was very important. After failing the college entrance examination, Gao Tianlang was depressed, he persuaded his parents to go to the field to work hard alone, he encountered too many difficulties when he first entered the society, he was lost, down, had a short period of beauty, had a short period of soaring, and was also deceived and excluded. He tasted all kinds of ups and downs, and finally was relieved and returned to City C. He felt that this was the place he truly belonged to, and he vowed never to leave it again. People are always like this, where they have been hurt, they will have a knife-like resistance and pain there. Gao Tianlang was glad that he had gained a firm foothold in the city, and after several years of hard work, he bought a house, a car, and a deposit, and his heart gradually settled down. His sensitive heart was finally protected.
The phone kept ringing, and he was used to Shen Na's annoying attachment. After experiencing several feelings, he has gradually become numb to his emotions, and he regrets that he invited Shen Na to drink a cocktail, and it was this glass of wine that made Shen Na tightly entangle him. He took out his phone and looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the phone.
ββ¦β¦β
"Gao Tianlang, why don't you answer my call?"
ββ¦β¦β
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me, why are you disrespecting me like that!"
"Sorry, I didn't hear that. β
"Didn't you hear that, where are you now?"
ββ¦β¦ By the sea, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, what can I do. β
"It's nothing, just hang up. β
"You ......!
"What exactly do you want to do, call and just accuse. β
"Brother Tianlang, I miss you. β
"Hmm...... I know. β
"You're on the beach, where you took me last time? I'm going to look for you!"
ββ¦β¦ I want to be alone. β
"Hmph, a selfish man, would rather be alone than accompany me. β
"Not today, I'm too tired during this time and need to rest, please let me be alone. β
"I don't, I don't, I'm going to look for you now, and if I find you're gone, I'll jump into the ocean, huhββγ β
ββ¦β¦β
"Why don't you speak? Heyβ"
"I'm scared of you, every time. β
"That's great! Brother Tianlang, you are the best brother in the world! You wait for me! I'll go now!"
Hung up the phone, Gao Tianlang stared at the sea, he was very helpless about this girl, her enthusiasm made him retreat, her love made him feel embarrassed, her beauty could only attract his eyeballs, but could not touch his heart. Now he has passed the age of judging people by their appearance, and pays more attention to the relationship and connotation with the other party. He stretched his waist to make himself lie more comfortable, he wanted to hurry up and enjoy the next short personal time, once Shen Na this girl arrived, he would not be at peace.
Shen Na walked out of the villa, opened the car door, and was about to sit in, hesitated, closed the car door again, and walked towards the outside of the community with her handbag. On today's date, she doesn't drive, she wants Gao Tianlang to send her back. Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on her face. Gao Tianlang, a slow-burning stinky man, made her both love and hate. She didn't know why she fell in love with him when she first met him, and she didn't understand why she always thought of him every day when she slept, even in her dreams. As soon as she thought of him, Shen Na's heart would beat fast, her face would turn red, she covered her chest, touched her face again, and said to herself: "What's wrong with me? Is it the beginning of love?"
Shen Na walked out of the community, stopped a taxi, and got in.
Gao Tianlang fell asleep unconsciously, but was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone, and he answered impatiently.
"Heyβ"
"Brother Tianlang, I'm here, where are you?"
"When you come to the beach, you'll see me. β
"Oh, good!"
Gao Tianlang hung up the phone and continued to lie on the reef basking in the sun, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again before he knew it, until a burst of laughter woke him up.
"Brother Tianlang!"
Gao Tianlang raised his head and took a look, Shen Na in a dress had already come to his side, she was wearing a beautiful dress today, a white dress, long black hair, and a fairy spirit. But the beauty in such a painting disturbed his sleep, and Gao Tianlang yawned, sat up, and stared lazily at the sea.
"Brother Tianlang, what are you looking at? Shen Na said, she came to sit next to him and looked into his eyes.
Gao Tianlang looked tired, glanced at her, and said, "Did you come by car?"
Shen Na shook her head and looked at him with a smile.
Gao Tianlang said: "Deliberately not open?"
Shen Na nodded, still smiling at him.
Gao Tianlang got up and stretched, and said, "I'll send you home, now." β
Shen Na was unhappy and said, "I just came here, you are leaving, you are deliberately avoiding me." β
Gao Tianlang said: "Didn't you look at the time when you went out? It's noon, aren't you hungry?"
Shen Na got up and said, "Then what are we going to eat?" β
Gao Tianlang glanced at his watch and walked towards the highway, with Shen Na following behind.
