Chapter Seventy-Five: Ambiguity Heats Up
When I came out of Yue Hanwen's house, the night was already very deep.
Songjia Village is close to the mountainous area, the surrounding temperature is much colder than the urban area, it is clearly only the critical point of late autumn and early winter, but it is stunned by the unique chill of deep winter, the evening wind blows non-stop, rolling the dust on both sides of the dirt road to the sniffle, the cold air through the coat cold to the bones, making people unconsciously shiver.
Gu Nanqiao and Su Yiyang walked aimlessly among the quiet alleys one after the other, and there were cheap hotels or farmhouses near Songjia Village, and even if they didn't stay overnight, it was not impossible to drive back to Xinguang City directly.
But that result would undoubtedly be a complete failure of the trip.
For Su Yiyang and Gu Nanqiao, two people who came all the way to come here, they all felt a little unwilling to leave directly, and Gu Nanqiao was looking forward to something, wanting to see if he could wait for the variables.
And Su Yiyang is betting on something.
This thoughtful silence lasted for a long time, until she walked to the empty clearing, Gu Nanqiao finally felt a little tired, she didn't bother to lift it up again when the soles of her shoes rubbed against the ground, and subconsciously began to slow down her pace.
Su Yiyang paid close attention to her subtle movements, and before Gu Nanqiao could speak, he understood her subtext, and immediately paused. Then Su Dashao took advantage of the situation to the extreme, naturally took Gu Nanqiao's hand, walked to the stone steps in the open space, carefully brushed off the surface of the floating ash, and sat down to rest with her.
Su Yiyang's fingertips were slightly cool, as if they were contaminated with the night of the silent countryside at the moment. However, after touching Gu Nanqiao's hand, after holding it tightly with ten fingers, an inexplicable heat source was stirred up.
Gu Nanqiao's heart beat half a beat slower by this sudden hand-holding.
She said in her heart, it seems that this kind of thing is the same as cheating when you are late, but if you set a precedent for the first time, you can't get out of the car at all after that. Especially when encountering a player like Su Dashao, who specially meets and intervenes to promote relationships, he will only become more and more unscrupulous as he fuels his bad wind, and he is out of control like a wild horse.
As for why didn't he shake Su Yiyang's hand away?
Gu Nanqiao couldn't say it, but she suddenly felt that it would be a pity if she let go of Su Yiyang's hand at this moment.
ββThis trip to Songjia Village confirmed the fit of their lofty ambitions, and the showdown about their personal relationship also became a disguised frank treatment between the two. As the worries were unraveled layer by layer, many things that had been covered up by Gu Nanqiao several times, after experiencing such twists and turns, almost broke out of the shackles pressed by reason, and surged uncontrollably.
Especially at this moment, the emotions of sharing weal and woe quickly precipitated into an alternative dependence, and many trivial feelings were infinitely expanded in silence, and quickly fermented with the ambiguous action of clasping ten fingers.
Everything is moving in an uncontrollable direction.
With the faint touch of a dusty corner somewhere in her heart, Gu Nanqiao's attitude towards Su Yiyang has long been less objective, although her lover is not yet full, she can no longer just regard Su Yiyang as a confidant, and naturally return to the original point.
And where should such a relationship full of uncertainty go from here?
In the end, it was Su Yiyang's deep and nice voice that broke the silence.
"Is it cold?" Su Yiyang turned his head sideways, glanced at the girl next to him, and asked.
Gu Nanqiao pulled back his thoughts, and was too lazy to speak, just shook his head stubbornly.
But the raging night wind was very faceless, and soon took the face slapping scene to the extreme. The bone-piercing chill directly penetrated Gu Nanqiao's sweater jacket, which was not very thick, and the fingertips held by Su Yiyang in his hand trembled uncontrollably, as if he was greedy for the warmth of the palm of his hand, and asked for more recklessly.
Gu Nanqiao clearly saw Su Dashao's smiling eyes curled, and a clear ridicule and banter appeared in it, silently mocking.
Gu Nanqiao: "......."
I'll answer it again now, is it too late?
After that, Su Yiyang didn't talk nonsense to Gu Nanqiao anymore, and showed what kind of experience it was like to "have a kind of cold, called your boyfriend thinks you are cold", he took off the dark gray scarf he was carrying, and tied it around Gu Nanqiao's neck without saying anything.
The distance was suddenly closer, so close that Gu Nanqiao could clearly see the staggered halo of light projected by the faint moonlight flickering under Su Yiyang's eyes, his bent eyes were full of bright starlight, and the care revealed in them was sincere.
Explicit preference, and love that is so thick that it seems to be inseparable.
And then it shone into her heart.
Su Yiyang saw Gu Nanqiao's various small emotions in his eyes, he lazily put his arm on the shoulder of the girl next to him, and an ambiguous low laugh rolled out of his throat.
"If you feel cold, lean over, your brother Su's arms are warm. β
Gu Nanqiao was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Su Yiyang was starting to take advantage blatantly, and then she turned her head sideways and mockingly hooked the corners of her lips and sneered.
"Hey, what are you doing, take your claws away, who told you to do it?"
There is a lot of ruthlessness between the words, but the end of the words is very soft, and it just seems to be strong on the outside and on the inside. Of course, Su Yiyang could hear it, he didn't say much, just turned his head slightly.
The night wind blew his bangs a little messy, and the soft moonlight weakened the sharpness of his handsome facial features, adding a little wanton and gentleness, and the amorous youthfulness was especially obvious when he looked at Gu Nanqiao.
It's too close.
Su Yiyang's citrus cologne had a faint sweetness, mixed with a faint smell of tobacco, and the fragrance uncontrollably burrowed into Gu Nanqiao's nose, plundering the air around her, and also covering the last trace of her sanity.
So much so that Gu Nanqiao wanted to push Su Yiyang away, but he acquiesced in such an ambiguous move.
She lowered her eyes slightly and no longer looked at Su Yiyang, and it took a few seconds to stabilize her mind, the scarf stained with the smell of cologne on Su Yiyang's body was wrapped around her neck like this, and Gu Nanqiao naturally leaned on Su Yiyang's arms.
"Hey, Su Yiyang. After being silent for a moment, Gu Nanqiao bit his lower lip and asked in a low voice, "You said that you wanted to invite Uncle Yue to come to the Spring Garden, is it completely out of play?"
Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that needs to be done has been done, but in the end, it still can't change the fate of eating behind closed doors.
Until this moment, Gu Nanqiao was really a little deflated.
The cold moonlight projected down, the empty space was plated with silver and white, and the stone steps were a little cold after sitting for a long time, but fortunately, Su Yiyang's embrace gave Gu Nanqiao a rare trace of warmth.
The asphalt roads in the countryside are not well repaired, and there is always a section of asphalt road mixed with a dirt road, which directly leads to the sand and dust that will fly whenever the wind blows, and the air is filled with a lingering smell of dirt and slag.
The roadside trees are shadowy, and beside the low shrubs are wild grasses that at first glance look like reeds, and the slender stems are topped with white fluffy leaves. Those floating flocculents floated up with the night wind, landed on Gu Nanqiao's hair, and were carefully picked off by Su Yiyang, who was sitting side by side.
Seeing that Gu Nanqiao was listless, Su Dashao patted her on the shoulder as if he was soothing: "If it's really completely out of play, I'll take you back to Xinguang City directly, okay, and still sit here and eat sand with the north wind?"
Gu Nanqiao turned his head sideways and glanced at Su Yiyang seriously, as if he was secretly discerning whether this was Su Yiyang's simple relief, or if things had indeed taken a turn for the better.
But Su Yiyang hid his emotions very deeply, Gu Nanqiao only saw his banter and calmness through all kinds of trivial emotions, and there was nothing superfluous to show, but it was inexplicably reassuring.
"By the way, Brother Su, would I like to ask you about something?" After a few seconds, Gu Nanqiao retracted his gaze and asked with interest, "What is the situation you just told Uncle Yue of the Yue family, the Sun family in Jiangnan and the Yue family in Beiping?"
For this title that finally stopped naming names, but had a vague coquettish meaning and an inexplicable Su point, Su Dashao felt very useful, and even his mood became better.
"The Jiangnan Sun family and the Beiping Yue family have a relationship, and several ancestors have performed in the same troupe for many years. Su Yiyang turned his head sideways, chuckled and rubbed the tips of Gu Nanqiao's hair, and opened his mouth unhurriedly, "It's just that when the top drummers and pianists get together, it will inevitably compare with each other, which will affect the harmony of the performance, after all, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers." β
After thinking about Su Yiyang's words, Gu Nanqiao quickly nodded.
"I understand, both Shengyu and He Shengliang, before in the old troupe, Uncle Li also squeezed those pianists like this...... So, later the elders of the two families set up their own doors?"
"Yes, but they separated back then, but they did not break off their love, but the heroes sympathized with each other - the grandparents and the parents-in-law agreed that after that, the future generations, one south and one north, one piano and one drum, one literary opera and one martial arts, if there are no special circumstances, they will never work together in the same troupe, but they will compare whether the pianist is famous or the drummer is better. β
Su Yiyang's tone was unhurried, and it came through the faint wind, low and ethereal.
However, if there are other opportunities in the future, when the descendants of another family find the contemporary head of the family with the heirloom, the head of the family must agree to the other party's request according to the agreement of the ancestors, as long as it is not illegal and moral, the other party cannot refuse. So at this time, I found out that your brother Su has some other uses besides selling cuteness, and you want to invite the Yue family in Beiping, so you can't miss me, right?"
Regarding this family past, Su Yiyang said lightly, but Gu Nanqiao felt a lot of emotion for a while.
She recalled the time when she was in the Children's Palace earlier, Su Yiyang and Zheng Yandu chatted about Yue Jiayu's reaction, and felt a little surprised, but also realized that in fact, all this was traceable, so that for no reason she had a bit of a trance of "it turns out that the master is by her side, but she has never treated him as a green onion".
After a while, she touched her lips and squeezed out a sentence: "I really didn't expect that you are actually from the Sun family in Jiangnan...... We are also half experts. β
"Do you suddenly feel that the two of us have a special fate, like a natural pair?" Su Yiyang smiled casually, and was serious for only three seconds, "Don't worry, Xiao Nanqiao, our fate doesn't stop there, you can explore it slowly." β
Gu Nanqiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Dashao, who was hippie and smiling, originally wanting to give him a disgusted look, but because he was leaning on the crook of someone's arm, he looked more coquettish and less sharp.
"Then what you said is dramatic, do you mean that Uncle Yue will come forward to help you because of the love of his ancestors," and then she paused for a moment, and then asked again, "But I heard what Uncle Han Wen meant just now, and people are not ready to go out of the mountain at all..... What are you going to do after that, let's take a look at the thatched house?"
"That's not necessarily," Su Yiyang chuckled noncommittally, "It's better to take a turn for the better." β
Gu Nanqiao was stunned for a moment, and those clear and moving eyes looked straight at Su Yiyang.
"Then what is the turning point you are talking about?"
I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Xu You Spring Garden", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
