On the strange second day, although he was a little tired, Zhou He couldn't sleep. In addition to her and Li Peiyuan, there are also several pairs of young men and women who have just eaten together. At this time, he was still playing, and from time to time he let out bursts of laughter. It adds a bit of excitement to the quiet night.

The small noise faintly heard from time to time stopped at more than three o'clock in the morning, and the whole courtyard fell into silence.

In the end, she was in a strange place, and although she slept late, she woke up early the next day. The courtyard was still quiet, except for a bird in a bird cage singing merrily.

Zhou He, who had already woken up, didn't sleep, got up, and didn't call Li Peiyuan next door, and went downstairs after washing.

Downstairs was also quiet, except for the hostess busy in the glass-cut kitchen. She was a little surprised to see Zhou He get up so early, and after saying hello, she asked with a smile: "Why didn't Miss Zhou sleep more?

Zhou He smiled, shook his head and said no. I asked if there was anything worth trying for breakfast nearby.

The proprietress recommended a few breakfast shops to her, saying that they were all old shops here. The taste is well worth a try.

Zhou He hadn't gone out since she came yesterday, and the proprietress was probably afraid that she wouldn't find the way, so she found a pen and paper and simply drew a map for her.

Zhou He thanked her, took the map and went out.

The proprietress recommended several breakfast shops, the most famous is the steamed bun shop. It is said to be a steamed bun shop, but it is not just selling steamed buns. It is a small shop of more than 40 square meters, in addition to making steamed buns, it also boils all kinds of porridge. The owner also made side dishes for free, which was very famous.

Although Zhou He got up early, there was already a long queue in the past. The small shop was already full. At the back of the long line, you can smell the smell of food coming from the store.

A few old local diners talked about the owner of the shop, saying that whether it was rice for porridge or wheat flour for steamed buns, he had hired someone to grow it in the countryside. The dough smells like wheat. There is also the seafood porridge in the store, and the seafood used is fresh and good. It's not shoddy like in other stores. It was bought by the boss's son from the Straits Market in the early hours of every morning and processed and boiled.

The main thing is that the price is good and the locals love to come here to eat.

Zhou He listened very seriously, he wanted to pack it up and eat it with Li Peiyuan, but later remembered that he was afraid that he hadn't gotten up yet, and it wouldn't taste good if he brought it back cold and hot. So she ordered her own first, paid for it together, and packed the other lamps after she finished eating.

She ordered her signature seafood porridge and a basket of steamed buns. After finding a table and putting down things, I heard others praise the delicious side dishes here, and took a small plate to pick up the side dishes.

When she was about to return to her position with a side dish, she realized that there was already someone in her place. Qin Yang was wearing a thin windbreaker and was sitting in her place, looking at her with a smile.

Zhou He thought he was dazzled, and blinked subconsciously. Before he could speak, Qin Yang, who was sitting in the seat, sneered and said, "You won't know me so soon?"

There will be no one else but him who can speak in this tone.

Zhou He touched his nose, found a small stool and brought it to the table, and called Mr. Qin. He asked, "Are you here too?"

Qin Yang didn't answer her words, he still had a cold smile on his face, and said, "So you still know me?"

Zhou He didn't know what he was crazy about, so he didn't say anything.

Qin Yang sneered again and reminded, "Just now I lined up, and I will line up behind you." ”

Zhou He had been listening to the two old men talking about the food here when he was queuing, and he didn't notice that he was behind him. Now he honestly said, "I didn't pay attention. ”

Qin Yang glanced at her and sneered, "Your mind is full of food, how did you notice it." ”

Zhou He originally wanted to ask him if he had ordered anything to eat, but when he saw that he was so angry, he picked up a spoon and ate his steaming seafood porridge.

Qin Yang didn't speak anymore.

He was unable to move, and the things he ordered were delivered by the clerk in the store. Compared with Zhou He's share, he can be regarded as a full Han man. I ordered one bun and one porridge each, and it was very hearty, and I don't know how he could finish it.

The two often met when they were in Yucheng, and they could also meet when they came here to travel and eat, which was quite a coincidence. When Zhou He saw that he was starting to eat, he asked, "Mr. Qin, when did you come over?"

Qin Yang glanced at her lightly and said, "When did I come over and need to report to you?"

His part-time job is smaller than the tip of a needle, and Zhou He is no longer bored with himself.

She ate quickly, and it didn't take long for the porridge and buns to be finished. She still had to bring it back to Li Peiyuan, and when she saw Qin Yang eating slowly, although she knew that she might still hit the muzzle, she still said stubbornly: "Mr. Qin, you eat slowly, I'll go first." ”

Qin Yang didn't use her as a punching bag at this time, and snorted from his nose.

It was not convenient for him to come out alone, Zhou He originally wanted to ask if anyone was following him, but he was afraid of being ridiculed, so he simply didn't say anything and went to ask the boss to pack porridge and buns.

When she went back, she saw Li Peiyuan coming down from upstairs, and when he saw her, he smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "I brought back breakfast, so early?"

Zhou He sighed, put down the porridge and buns, and said, "I've already eaten it, little uncle, you can taste it while it's hot, I think it's pretty good." ”

Li Peiyuan smiled and agreed, sat down and ate.

He had already done the strategy, and talked about today's arrangements while eating breakfast. I was going to take Zhou He to the famous playground here, and asked her if she wanted to go to the sea to have a look.

Since he asked, he obviously had a plan, so Zhou He nodded his head.

After breakfast, the two set off, and Li Peiyuan took Zhou He to the playground. It was still very early, but there were a lot of people. Many popular projects have to be queued.

When Zhou He was a child, he was very envious of his companions who came to the playground with his parents, but now he is long past the age of fun, just to join in the fun. In the end, I didn't play two.

I went to sea in the afternoon, and it was said that the scenery on the sea was beautiful in the evening. You can see the most beautiful sunset and sunset.

Zhou He still remembered that he was seasick, so in order not to spoil the fun, he went to the hospital in advance to buy medicine for seasickness and take it.

The boat that goes out to sea is a simple steamboat, and the boatman also prepares fishing gear for guests to experience. After Li Peiyuan got on the boat, he took a fishing rod and hung bait for Zhou He to teach her to fish.

I don't know if it's because of the medicine for seasickness or the fact that he is more relaxed, Zhou He didn't get seasick this time.

I thought I could see the sunset over the sea, but I didn't. The boat drifted slowly on the sea for two hours, and when the sun was about to set, the sky suddenly became overcast. The sunlight was hidden into the clouds.

In this way, you can tell that it is going to rain, and you can't see the sunset. The boatman said it was going to rain and asked them if they would go back to shore immediately.

Li Peiyuan agreed.

I had to return in time at any time, but I was only halfway through when the crackling raindrops fell. They had to take refuge in cramped cabins.

At sea all year round, there is a fishy smell in the cabin. A dim light swayed with the swaying of the ship's hull. Pull the shadow of a person into a strange shape.

Probably afraid that Zhou He would feel scared, Li Peiyuan looked outside and said, "It's okay, this rain is coming urgently, or it will stop in a short time." ”

Zhou He nodded.

Presumably to ease the silence now, he paused, and then said: "When I was abroad, I rented a boat with my classmates during the summer vacation and spent half a month at sea. ”

Zhou He had never heard him say this, so he was interested and asked, "Are you used to it?"

Li Peiyuan smiled slightly, as if he was stuck in a memory, and said, "It's okay." It's a little boring, but it's also very interesting. I've seen a lot of marine creatures. It's just that the food is not enough to eat a lot of fish, so that I want to vomit when I smell the fishy smell for a long time. ”

His voice was calm, eerily quiet in the crackling rain. I passed the time and talked about the strange sea creatures I encountered at sea.

He knew a lot of things, and even the boatman occasionally interjected, gesturing and laughing as he spoke. The sky was completely dark, and it was obviously a very boring return, but it became interesting because of his vivid narration.

When the ship docked, Zhou He was still unsatisfied.

It was still raining on the shore, and the boatman kindly gave them an umbrella. It's already past dinner time for the two of them to go back this time, and they don't want to trouble the proprietress anymore, so they simply eat outside and go back.

It rained and the temperature dropped, and Li Peiyuan took Zhou He to eat hot pot. I returned to the yard very late.

Li Peiyuan finally failed to take the last few days of vacation, and on the fifth day in K City, he didn't know what urgent mission there was in Kyoto, so he bought a ticket for the night and returned to Beijing.

I don't know when Cheng Wei came, but the morning after Li Peiyuan left, when she went out, she saw Cheng Wei standing on the side of the road.

She didn't go to see him, flagged down a taxi, and went to the attractions that she had already scheduled to go to today.

Traveling alone lost a lot of fun, but she took a lot of photos and planned to go back to Li Peiyuan to see.

I didn't see Cheng Wei when I went back in the evening, but not long after I returned to the room, the proprietress came up and knocked on her door. handed over a delicate bento box, looked at her with curious eyes, and said, "This is sent from outside, and I will give it to Miss Zhou by name." ”

You don't have to think about it to know that this must have been sent by Cheng Wei.

Zhou He looked at it, took it, and then asked, "Is the person who sent it gone?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "It's gone." He is a tall and handsome gentleman. ”

She was curious, but she didn't gossip. After saying that, he heard someone downstairs calling and left.

Zhou He opened the bento, which was filled with local snacks. The bento box is a small grid, containing several kinds, all of which are still hot and exude an attractive fragrance.

She looked at it, didn't eat it, and put the bento aside.

Cheng Wei didn't know if he went back or what, and he didn't appear again after delivering the lunch. The day before the return, Zhou He met Qin Yang again when he went to the scenic spot.

Together with his driver, he didn't say hello when he saw Zhou He. Wuzi took pictures of the surrounding scenery with his camera. The driver greeted Zhou He warmly and wanted to take the bag for Zhou He. Zhou He refused.

Qin Yang was silent, she naturally wouldn't be bored, and after saying hello, she left first. But when I was eating at the villa later, I met two people again.

Although there are many tourists, there are still vacant seats. Qin Yang didn't sit on those empty seats, and directly slid his wheelchair to her table, and took the menu waiter to order food one step ahead of her.

When he finished ordering, he looked at her like a person who was fine, and asked, "When will you go back?"

His cleanliness habit is still the same, he and Zhou He are talking, and the driver is going to the back kitchen to get him the dishes and chopsticks again.

Zhou He booked a ticket yesterday, and he didn't hide it from him, and said honestly: "Tomorrow's ticket." ”

Qin Yang sighed and said, "It's a coincidence, I'll go back tomorrow." ”

Zhou He squeezed out a smile at this moment.

Qin Yang saw her perfunctory, snorted, and said, "What's the matter? Only you can go back?"

He turned his face like turning a book, Zhou He touched his nose and said no. Fortunately, when the dishes came up, Qin Yang didn't use the topic to play again.

In the afternoon, they still went their separate ways, and their tickets were on the same flight. When Qin Yang went to the airport, he didn't know what kind of kindness he sent, so he specially asked the driver to pick her up at Zhouhe's residence.

Zhou He was flattered.

Qin Yang's position was next to Zhou He, and after getting on the plane, he returned to his cold appearance, and the flight attendant came over several times to ask him what to eat, but he ignored it.

After getting off the plane, Zhou He was walking in front, and Lao Cao was waiting for her outside. When he saw her, he came up to her and asked to carry her luggage.

You don't have to think about it to know that this must have been arranged by Cheng Wei, Zhou He wanted to refuse, and planned to use Qin Yang as an excuse to say that he would go with his friends. Who knew that when he turned around, he didn't see Qin Yang and the driver.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

Lao Cao had already taken her luggage and asked her how she was going there this time, and if it was worth going.

Probably because he was afraid of an embarrassing atmosphere, he was chattering all the way. Talking about trivial things. When Zhou He was sent to the door of the house, when he was about to leave, Zhou He called Uncle Cao and said, "Don't come here in the future, I can solve the problems of my own life." ”

Lao Cao couldn't find any excuse this time, and seeing that the look on Zhou He's face was serious, he had to say yes.

Zhou He came back to rest at home for a whole day, and when he inadvertently turned on the TV in the evening and saw the news, he learned that in just a few days, Hehuan Street had been demolished.

The picture captured on TV is in ruins, which means that this gray area will no longer exist.

The demolition of Hehuan Street was completely unheard of in advance. It should be temporary and sudden.

can be demolished so quickly, it can be imagined that Cheng Wei's current situation must not be good. Zhou Ji didn't pay attention, took the remote control and turned off the TV.

The day after Zhou He came back, he received a call from Qi Jingran. Said it was for her to go out to dinner together. And I want to come over and pick up the circumference.

Zhou He didn't let her come to pick her up, and took a taxi himself.

This time, Qi Jingran had no one by her side, and she didn't wear exquisite makeup like the previous times. Only wore a light makeup, and wore sportswear and sneakers.

It's been a long time since I've seen her dressed like this, and Zhou He was stunned.

Compared with the last time they met, Qi Jingran's face looked much better this time. Seeing that Zhou He was like before, he stepped forward and grabbed her hand, smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Zhou He said that he could eat anything.

Qi Jingran smiled slightly, saying that he recently went to a hot pot restaurant, and the taste was very good. Let Zhou He try it too.

The hot pot restaurant she said is not a high-end restaurant, but a small shop on the side of the road. Not far from Acacia Street.

Because of Hehuan Street, it used to be lively here, but now it is a lot more deserted. There are also a lot fewer people.

Zhou He didn't look at Hehuan Street, and followed Qi Jingran to the store and sat down.

Qi Jingran handed her the menu and asked her to order, but she didn't sit down and went outside.

Zhou He was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask anything. I ordered some food, asked the boss to serve the bottom of the pot first, and ordered the rest when she came back.

Qi Jingran went for a while before coming back, and she actually went out to buy snacks. I bought several servings, sat down and pushed the packaged snacks in front of Zhou He, and said with a slight smile: "Try it, I've eaten all of these, and they're all good." ”

She wasn't that much of a person who liked to eat before, and this sudden change made Zhou He a little uncomfortable.

But she didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks and tasted them.

Qi Jingran talked more today than usual, asking and talking about some things. She is like a big sister this time, and Zhou He will serve her vegetables from time to time.

When she was halfway through the meal, she suddenly said, "I haven't been to see Aunt Qi for a long time, so let's go and see it together if you have time." ”

Since Aunt Qi's death, she has hardly mentioned her. Zhou He was slightly stunned and said hello.

Qi Jingran said that he wanted to go over, but he was not in a hurry. After eating, she asked Zhou He to invite her to watch a movie, and she didn't go back to the hotel in the evening, but followed Zhou He back to the house. In the evening, as before, the two watched TV very late.

Qi Jingran didn't mention sleeping, and Zhou He didn't mention it either. It was quiet outside, and the only sound in the room was the sound of the TV. After a long time, Qi Jingran suddenly asked, "Ah He, I have caused so much trouble to you and Aunt Qi, have you ever hated me?"

These were all a long time ago, and Zhou He didn't know why she suddenly brought it up. Slightly stunned, he said, "No." ”

Qi Jingran didn't seem to hear her words, and said to himself: "I must have hated it." I hate myself too. ”

She curled up on her knees and buried her head in her knees.

Zhou He didn't know why she was suddenly like this, and couldn't find comforting words, so he said: "It's all in the past, don't think about it anymore." ”

Qi Jingran raised his head, the corners of his mouth showed some misery, shook his head, closed his eyes, and said, "Ahe, you can't get by, many things can't be passed." Sometimes when I sleep, I still dream of Aunt Qi coming. She often just looked at me and didn't speak, and she never paid attention to me when I talked to her, and I think she must have been disappointed in me. ”

As she spoke, she was stunned.

Zhou He was silent for a moment and said, "She is not disappointed in you. She just feels sorry for you. ”

Yes, Aunt Qi never blamed her. She felt sorry for her and practiced herself.

Qi Jingran didn't know if he heard it, so he didn't speak again, just sat quietly. It took a long time before I came back to my senses. He didn't continue on this topic, and said, "Ahe, can you make me a bowl of noodles?" ”

Her thinking jumped quite big, Zhou He was slightly stunned, and said yes. I turned on the light and went to the kitchen.

She passed, and Qi Jingran followed. She looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, turned around, and asked Qi Jingran what kind of noodles she was eating.

The light in the kitchen was soft, and seeing Zhou He busy wearing an apron, Qi Jingran suddenly felt at home, smiled slightly, and let him make tomato and egg noodles.

asked Zhou He if he had any vegetables, and after Zhou He replied, she found them in the refrigerator and helped wash them. The kitchen was very warm for a while.

When eating noodles, Qi Jingran talked about when he was a child, and he was going back to the room to sleep, but in the end, Zhou He simply hugged the quilt and put it on the sofa, and the two fell asleep on the sofa.

Although the two chatted late, they both got up early the next day. Zhou He planned to make breakfast, but Qi Jingran didn't let her, and dragged her to the alley to eat the soy milk fritters.

The boss at the entrance of the alley still remembers the two of them, lamenting that time flies quickly, and it has been decades in the blink of an eye.

Qi Jingran smiled and talked to the boss, and the boss also talked about a lot of interesting things in this long alley when he was a child.

After breakfast, the two did not go back to the house. Zhou He bought incense wax paper candles, Qi Jingran bought flowers and snacks that Aunt Qi usually likes to eat, and went to the cemetery.

Qi Jingran, who still had a smile on his face at breakfast, no longer had a smile on his face at this time. I don't know what I'm thinking, I leaned my head against the window and looked out, and I never spoke.

She looked like something was not quite right this time, Zhou He wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't speak. I was going to ask her when I got back from the cemetery.

Aunt Qi's tomb was deserted, Qi Jingran went over, knelt down and kowtowed, and then took out the things he brought.

She didn't speak from beginning to end, and when she finished burning the paper, she said to Zhou He: "Ahe, I want to say a few words to Aunt Qi." ”

This is to let Zhou He avoid it.

Zhou He nodded, said that he was waiting for her on the other side of the path, and went over there. Because Qi Jingran was not quite right today, she didn't dare to go far, and looked back at the tombstone from time to time.

Qi Jingran was kneeling in front of the tombstone, motionless, as if he was going to kneel to the ground.
