Chapter 70: Under the Lanxi Bridge
Under the Lanxi Bridge, the clean and clear water flows slowly along the riverbed, and the willow trees on the bank reflect the sunset, shining with golden gauze. The herons take advantage of the sunset to return to their nests in the treetops, occasionally entering other territories, causing a disturbing noise.
This is a relatively quiet leisure area in the north of the city of central Yunnan, which is like spring all year round, which is more in line with the title of spring city than the provincial capital known as the spring city. Every afternoon, go to the Lanxi River for a leisurely walk, and there is an endless stream of people who touch fish and play in the water. In summer and autumn, when temperatures rise, some areas with suitable water depths are crowded with city dwellers who like to swim in the morning and evening.
The Lanxi River, which flows from the towering Yunlongma Mountain, is like a swirling jade belt wrapped around the dam in central Yunnan. The city is smart because of the water, the dam is named after the stream, and central Yunnan is praised as the pearl of the plateau without the moisturization of the Lanxi.
Su Min sat on the grass on the shore, clasped his hands on his knees, and quietly looked at the flowing Lanxi water. The dark eyes under the beautiful rimless glasses are as deep as ever, but now they look a little more confused.
It's been twelve days since Qi Jingtao went to the county. Except for a phone call on the first day to inform himself that he was holding a training class in the hot springs in the small street, the wooden man who didn't understand the amorous style had never contacted her in a room.
Who does he think of himself? Is he just a tenant who sends a dead face to the door, or is it the girlfriend he is getting along with, the lover in his heart? Is it really as Xu Manli said, in terms of marriage and love, the woman will be looked down upon if she is too active?
In order to help them create opportunities, Xu Manli acted like a stupid big sister, abandoned the reserve that a girl should have, and tried her best to create opportunities for them. However, looking at the respectful way the two of them get along with each other, Xu Manli has already retreated.
However, after the initial disdain, hesitation, and annoyance, the rest is a thick longing. When she was alone, her mind began to think wildly about the voice and smile of the man who sometimes cared for her, and sometimes looked at his own book as if no one was focused on his own business. It is not for nothing that there are people who pursue themselves, and among them, there are not no men who are better than him. But why did you fall in love with him? What's so good about him?
I don't think about him, but I always can't help but think of all his good things. This kind of longing cannot be suppressed, just like taking drugs, after the first time, you can't quit on your own. As time passed, emptiness and boundless loneliness filled her mind.
Today, Xu Manli was away on a business trip and returned to that empty home after work. Su Min, who had no intention of cooking, wanted to come out to relax, walked and walked, and before he knew it, he came to the bank of the Lanxi River, where he liked to run, and sat here for a few hours.
The people of central Yunnan said that the water in Lanxi Bridge can really forget the water? Su Min was obsessed.
"Girl, what time is it?"
The old man who had been sitting nearby fishing looked at Su Min kindly, he had been paying attention to this beautiful girl for a long time. Seeing that she didn't react, the old man shouted loudly again: "Girl, girl, what time is it?"
Su Min, who woke up in shock, looked back at the white-haired old man in amazement, raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, "Oh,...... Uncle, it's seven fifty-two!"
The old man put away the fishing rod and shouted at Su Min: "Girl, the sun has set, the river is cold, there are many mosquitoes, it's time to go home!"
"Well, thank you, Grandpa!"
Su Min pursed her lips and chuckled, stretched out her hand to stroke the white and tender calves that were exposed and bitten by mosquitoes at some point, got up obediently, and walked along the road towards the Chunxi community.
From afar, she saw the bright light from the window, Su Min's eyes were no longer confused, and her walking steps turned into running.
The door opened, and when he saw the smiling face in his thoughts, Su Min rushed forward regardless of it and kissed the lips that were about to speak.
After a moment's pause, the man responded enthusiastically, and when Su Min, who provoked the war, was about to die, the four lips finally reluctantly separated.
Su Min still wrapped his neck around his neck and whispered, "I'm back." ”
"It's back!"
"Did you miss me?"
"I thought about it. Qi Jingtao looked at Su Min's eyes and replied seriously.
"How much do you want?"
Qi Jingtao, who was about to be suffocated by lack of oxygen, let go of his lips and spit out a breath of hot air, but the sweet smell of orchid-like musk that he had never experienced remained in his mouth. Looking at the girl in her arms who was panting and her face was crimson, I couldn't help but feel that somewhere in my heart was completely melted.
"Let me get up!" the voice of a faint mosquito and fly sounded.
"Why do you want to get up?"
Su Min, who knew what the result would be if she continued, blushed, and insisted on holding on harder with both hands, "Let me get up!"
Holding the bed with his hands, Qi Jingtao quietly looked at Su Min with begging in his eyes, and the impulse ignited by temptation calmed down like the sea water at low tide, and he felt sorry for Su Min inexplicably.
Ever since he met Lao Qi, he has been completely immersed in an inexplicable excitement. With a golden finger, many things that I longed for but could not seek, or even unreachable, were too easy and too easy to obtain, and I didn't know how to cherish them. Unconsciously, how did your mentality become so casual and indifferent, willful and impulsive?
During college, Qi Jingtao had no capital to squander his youth and romance. He himself has no ability to make money to supplement his expenses, and he doesn't want to spend his parents' hard-earned money for his parents to do his tuition, to take the initiative to pursue the freedom and generosity in front of girls, and show a drifting mentality towards emotions.
After work, the habit of returning home on time on weekends suppressed his spending on emotional consumption, and he didn't really experience the ups and downs of love, until Su Min's initiative appeared. Su Min's appearance did not seem to be the best time, and during this period, Qi Jingtao was immersed in the joy of making money and the joy of work. He always seems to have something to do, a job to do. For emotions, he still doesn't know what emotional pursuits are, and passively gives the decision to Su Min as a girl.
Su Min was born into a family of traditional teachers, and her parents who taught and nurtured people had a deep influence on Su Min and her sister Su Rui. However, there are times when a good girl who has been rational and indifferent for many years is rebellious. Su Min, who wants to pursue her own happiness, is eager to be passionate and romantic, but maintains the rational arrogance and reserve in her bones. They get along neither salty, nor tepid.
Lao Qi, who knew that Xiao Qi was being pursued by Su Min, silently thought about the fact that he was still on a business trip, and he had always been a child who never abandoned him and loved him, his mother Chen Xuefei. just smiled knowingly and didn't give Xiao Qi any advice. Different living environments and behaviors will inevitably produce different causes and effects, so let it be!
