Living in a variety of complex environments is the instinctive pursuit of all animals.

For people, living in this complex society, how to live well is an esoteric knowledge -- everyone has their own unique way of survival.

Some people are exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and they can be like a fish in water wherever they go, and some people are low-key, although they are not conspicuous, but no matter where they go, they can do things in a down-to-earth manner and live well.

The former is based on wit, and the latter is based on dedication.

But Zhou Yan is not, she lives by intuition.

In fact, a person who is obsessed to the point of being almost paranoid, pure to the point of almost transparency, and stubborn to the point of desperation, even if he has a particularly good talent in some aspects, is always the one who is not popular when he goes out into the crowd, and people in this society prefer to get along with those who are less angular and have a more peaceful personality.

Therefore, since it is a less popular person, you must either change yourself to cater to others and society, or you must have developed intuition and be able to catch those kind and approachable breaths in the crowd at once.

Therefore, Zhou Yan lived in Dunhuang for more than ten days, never talked to anyone, and never paid attention to anyone's accosting, but on the one hand, she only intuitively perceived that someone was the same type of animal as herself.

So, when she didn't know what Li Qian's name was, who he was, or where he came from, she actually went directly to ask for the room number and asked him to drink together, and she drank in a completely unguarded gulp.

A bottle of 52-degree local liquor, Li Qian drank about two or three taels, and all the others went into Zhou Yan's stomach, and from beginning to end, she didn't even take a sip of peanuts and beans, she just drank purely.

Cup after cup.

She didn't even urge Li Qian, it seemed that for her, it was really enough to have a reassuring person sitting across from her and watching herself drink - as she herself said, she didn't want someone to drink, but really just wanted someone to drink with her.

But. She seems to have a good amount of alcohol.

Seven or eight taels of white wine went down, but he only blushed slightly, and he actually walked steadily.

Li Qian swept a large plate of fried mutton, and then the two happily settled the account and walked back.

The night was already dark. There are still a lot of tourists wandering around, eating, laughing, and taking pictures on the streets.

It's hot during the day, but the night breeze is cool.

Out of the small restaurant, Zhou Yan shook her steps, like a high school girl, and jumped twice from time to time. With a pure and undisguised smile on his face.

"Hey, what are you going to see at Qinghai Lake?" she asked.

Li Qian also helped her hold the sunglasses in her hand, and after thinking about it, he said, "Do you want to listen to the real or the fake?"

Zhou Yan actually thought about it seriously, and said with a smile: "Fake, fake is generally more reasonable." ”

Li Qian nodded and said, "Qinghai Lake is very beautiful, many people say it's beautiful, then I'll join in the fun and go to see it, and after I go back, I can brag with my friends or something." Said that I had also been to Qinghai Lake. Alas, you haven't been there, so I don't know, it's really beautiful!"

Zhou Yan laughed.

Some passers-by looked at her in amazement, but the evening breeze ruffled her hair, and the locks covered her delicate and delicate face, and no one recognized her for a while.

After laughing, she said to Li Qian: "This statement is good, I will say it to others when I go back." ”

At this time, she seemed to be a lot happier. Bouncing along the way, like a spring finch.

Walking all the way back to the door of the Donglai Inn, she lived on the second floor, so the two separated at the staircase on the second floor. Li Qian handed her sunglasses over, and Zhou Yan waved her hand at him and staggered to her room.

Maybe not drunk, but she's still a little drunk.

Li Qian watched her walk to the door, saw her take out the key and open the door, and was about to turn around and go upstairs. She suddenly stood against the door and called Li Qian, "Hey......" Li Qian stood and looked back at her, she still had a smile between her eyebrows, her eyes were slightly squinted, and she seemed to be a little drunk, and asked, "If I wanted to know the truth just now, what would you say?"

Li Qian shrugged, "Qinghai Lake is very beautiful, I want to go and see it, and when I go back, I can brag to my friends, saying that I have been to see Qinghai Lake, saying that Qinghai Lake is really beautiful, when the time comes, um...... You get the idea!"

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Good night!"

Li Qian nodded and said, "Good night!"

Then the two of them entered the door one and the other went upstairs.

Early the next morning, Li Qian got up and was about to go downstairs for breakfast, when she opened the door, she found that she was actually smoking and waiting alone in the corridor outside her door.

Zhou Yan looked back and saw him, her expression was a little relieved, so she smiled and asked, "Do you want to leave today?" or ......?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "No, I still want to go to the Mogao Grottoes again today, let's go tomorrow, okay?"

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go back to sleep!" After a pause, she said, "I live in 207, remember to call me before leaving!"

At this moment, Li Qian's heart was inexplicably puzzled, and he asked, "You ...... last night Didn't sleep?"

Zhou Yan stroked her hair, smiled childishly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I sleep deeply, often oversleep, especially when I drink alcohol...... Then you go play, I'll go back to catch up on sleep!"

As she spoke, she staggered towards the staircase.

Li Qian watched her walk over, and when he saw her turn around and waved at him, he smiled at her, and then watched her disappear.

…………

Zhou Yan slept directly until six o'clock in the afternoon.

Then she didn't do anything else, simply cleaned herself up, took her big sunglasses, went downstairs, and sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, smoking, and being in a daze.

It looks lonely and lonely.

But when Li Qian stepped in, her eyes immediately lit up, and she stood up with a smile and waved at Li Qian.

Li Qian went over, the two sat down, and Li Qian asked her, "Did you wake up?"

She smiled, "You're so young, don't care so much, okay?" After a pause, she smiled and said, "Let's go to a bar?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "I just found a shop selling rice porridge and porridge at the corner of the street, you accompany me to drink a bowl of porridge and eat a bun first, and I will invite you to drink the Xifeng wine in my car, can you do it?"

Zhou Yan's smile paused and twisted her head slightly. After a while, he turned back to look at Li Qian and said, "I don't want to eat, you go eat, I'll accompany you!"

Li Qian shook his head firmly. "I don't want to drink either, but I drank with you last night!"

Zhou Yan scratched her head without any image, and looked at Li Qian pitifully.

But Li Qian spread his hands and said that there was no negotiation.

So she nodded and said, "That...... All right. I'm okay with just a few sips? Also, I don't like to eat steamed buns. ”

But Li Qian smiled and said: "I've found out clearly, buns are not only mutton filling, but also vegetarian filling, you can eat vegetarian filling, as for porridge, you must drink a bowl, one less bite, I won't do this deal!"

Zhou Yan smiled. The smile was so simple that it was indescribably green and beautiful, and after a while, she said, "You were the first ...... to persuade me to eat like that," but after a while, she nodded, "Okay, let's go!"

…………

Most of the outsiders who come to Dunhuang for tourism like to call friends and friends, go to eat local fried mutton, or simply roast whole sheep, but some people are tired of eating these for a long time. I like to drink a sip of hot millet porridge.

When Li Qian and Zhou Yan walked into the shop, there were four or five tables of customers sitting inside.

There are many single travelers, and there are also elderly couples, but small couples. But there is no pair.

The boss seems to be very wooden, chubby, greasy on the apron, at first glance he is in charge of cooking, but the proprietress is refreshing. Mandarin with a strong local accent, warmly beckoned the two to come in and sit down.

Li Qian asked for a bowl of millet mung bean porridge, a bowl of preserved egg and lean pork porridge, and another stir-fry, a cold dish, plus two meat, two vegetables and four large buns.

At this time, the two of them looked more like a little couple who came in to rest after walking tired.

The proprietress brought something up, and Li Qian pushed the bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge in front of her, "Oh, we must drink it all, otherwise we won't have to play!"

Zhou Yan pursed her lips and looked at the big bowl of porridge in embarrassment.

She doubted that her stomach could hold such a large bowl.

Then, Li Qian gulped down the buns and drank the porridge, as if no one was there.

After a while, Zhou Yan took the spoon and drank three or five sips in small sips, the porridge was a little hot, but she nodded and said, "The craftsmanship is not bad." ”

Li Qian smiled and pushed the two vegetarian buns in front of him, "Eat!"

Zhou Yan shook her head, caught a glimpse of Li Qian's bowl and seemed to have lotus seeds in it, so she stretched out the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, nodded while chewing, swallowed, and said, "Let's change!"

Li Qian smiled and pushed his bowl over, and Zhou Yan also pushed her bowl over.

But at this time, Li Qian pushed the bun in front of her again and said, "Eat!"

Zhou Yan looked up at him, and there was a rare touch of calmness in her eyes.

It seems that she is expressing her stubbornness about this and her disgust with Li Qian's approach.

But Li Qian didn't flinch, just looked at her.

After a few moments, she shrugged her shoulders rarely, picked up a large bun, took a vicious bite, and then chewed and swallowed it very hard.

Li Qian Lisuo finished eating his two steamed buns, and asked with a smile while drinking porridge: "You are so thin, how long has it been since you have eaten grain?"

Zhou Yan glanced at him, shook her head, swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns, and said, "Wine is made of grain, don't think I don't know!"

Li Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After a while, Zhou Yan ate half of the bun with difficulty, and stared at Li Qian for a long time with a look of already holding on, and when she saw that Li Qian still ignored herself, she asked: "Hey, you just graduated from high school, right? You must have a girlfriend, right? So, do you usually take care of your girlfriend like this?"

Li Qian shook his head and said, "My girlfriend is like a little pig, she never needs to be persuaded to eat. It's like you, like a cat, it makes you feel more embarrassed to let you eat than to kill you!"

Zhou Yan smiled, lowered her head and took a bite of the bun, whimpering and chewing, she said: "Words must be counted, I ate the bun and drank the porridge, you have to drink with me!"

At this time, Li Qian had already finished his share and sat there watching her eat.

Then, suddenly, Li Qian stretched out his hand and said, "What about your cigarette, give me one." ”

Zhou Yan was a little surprised, "You still smoke?" took out her own cigarette as she spoke, as if she liked to share it with Li Qian, she enthusiastically knocked one out and served it with a lighter.

Li Qian lit a cigarette, took a puff, reminisced for a while, took another puff, reminisced for a while, and then directly extinguished the cigarette.

From beginning to end, Zhou Yan looked at him, and when she saw that he had extinguished his cigarette, she asked, "Why don't you smoke?"

Li Qian smiled and said indifferently: "Smoking too much is not good for your health." ”

Zhou Yan looked at him innocently for a moment, a little ignorant, and seemed to be a little abrupt, and after a while, she lowered her head and drank porridge.

…………

In Li Qian's trunk, there were really three or four bottles of Xifeng wine left.

It's not a top-notch thing, it's just an ordinary product bought casually in a county in northern Shaanxi, Li Qian drank it, and felt that the strength of the wine didn't seem to be as strong as yesterday's bottle of local wine.

But today's seven or eight taels of wine are down, and Zhou Yan seems to be more drunk.

When she left the restaurant, she began to giggle constantly.

Sometimes she stared at a certain scenery on the side of the road, sometimes she stared at someone, and sometimes, she was backwards and backwards, her eyes followed Li Qian's steps closely, and then she suddenly smirked.

With this look, she really looks like she is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Li Qian asked her why she was laughing, but she didn't answer, jumping and dancing like a lark, and then giggling alone.

This time, as usual, it was Li Qian who helped her hold her sunglasses.

Walking to the staircase on the second floor, Li Qian handed her the sunglasses back as usual, she took them, but she was not in a hurry to go back to the room, just sprayed wine, staring at Li Qian, and after a while, she came over, and the two of them were eye to eye, only a few centimeters apart.

This time, her breath was full of wine, her face was also flushed, and there was an indescribable strange charm - the indifferent aroma that Li Qian smelled last time was not smelled at all at this time.

Her eyes are not small, but when she loses weight, she becomes even bigger.

At this time, the two looked at each other, and she asked slowly, "You won't lie to me, will you?"

Li Qian was puzzled and showed a puzzled expression.

She just smiled and smirked, and said, "Tomorrow, you're going to wake me up, aren't you?"

Li Qian suddenly felt a little distressed.

Although he clearly knew that the girl in front of him should not be considered a girl anymore, she was already around thirty years old, she had been married and divorced, she should be a mature woman. Even, as long as she is willing, she can become the brightest star in the domestic pop music scene at any time, high on top, and is welcomed and chased by countless people.

But at this moment, Li Qian was really a little distressed.

So, he nodded and said, "Rest assured, I will definitely wake you up, let's go to Qinghai Lake together." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, and seemed to be relieved all of a sudden.

Then, she turned around and walked back in three steps, humming a familiar tune softly as she went.

Li Qian listened carefully and heard it, it was "One Year Old and One Withered Glory"-

"Spring is coming, so I sprouted,

At that time, I didn't know how the world was changing.

I just want to try to make a fragrant and beautiful flower.

You're here, so I love,

Under that fence on that morning in the middle of summer,

I am a fragrant and beautiful flower.

……”

She's humming, and it's nice. (To be continued.) )
