Chapter 2 Revisiting the Old Place

The plane landed safely at Sifang Airport, Chen Yuxing packed his backpack and walked off the plane with the flow of people. He had a sense of homesickness, and there was a sense of anticipation in the depths of his consciousness.

This is not his hometown, and the goal of this kind of timid feelings and expectations is directed at one person. That gentle, lovely and enthusiastic girl ---- Li Xiaoqing.

Chen Yuxing walked out of the airport, until he sat on the airport bus, he was still in a trance, as if he had traveled back to the early spring five years ago, and the girl he missed day and night was waiting for him to arrive at the front of his journey. After nearly 50 minutes of travel, the airport bus stopped in the parking lot of Sifang Lantian Hotel, he got off the bus, took a taxi and went straight to the inn he booked.

The inn of the ancient city of Sifang is quite famous! There are about more than 2,000 inns of all sizes in the ancient city! It can be said that the inn is the soul of the ancient city, and there are the characteristics of the ancient city and the story of the ancient city.

The Story Inn of the Ancient City is located in Wuyi Street, Sifang Ancient City, which is a typical Naxi courtyard, the inn is simple, clean, hygienic, comfortable and elegant, and it is far away from the night and night songs of the Sifang Street in the center of the ancient city.

The gate of the Story Inn in the small town is in a doorway, the doorway is only more than one meter wide, nearly three meters deep, and two 10 cm diameter knockers are hung on the brown ancient wooden door. There are two stone toads on both sides of the door, and a yellow puppy has been lying in the door hole for many years, and as long as the guests of the hotel walk by, it will wag half of its tail vigorously. A black plaque hangs vertically on the left side of the door, with the words "Story of a Small Town" and "Inn" written horizontally at the bottom of the plaque.

Chen Yuxing walked to the plaque, stretched out his right index finger and gently described the word "story", as if he had returned to the bright spring day five years ago.

Chen Yuxing and Li Xiaoqing's first meeting was under this black plaque.

------------------------------------------------------

A girl is carrying a snow-white backpack, her long hair is draped over the vest, gently held by a silver ribbon, a bright yellow cultural shirt on the upper body, tight jeans on the lower body, a pair of white Nike travel shoes, her left hand gently beats her waist, and her right hand pulls out her index finger to gently describe the word "story".

Chen Yuxing stood next to the girl with his back to him and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask, is this the Story Inn in the small town?" Chen Yuxing really didn't ask knowingly in order to get close to the girl, and the girl's hand blocked the word "inn" below. He wasn't sure this was the inn he had booked.

"Yes, you're here to stay at the hotel, and so am I. ”

She turned around and glanced at Woo Xing with a smiling squint, then stretched out her little tongue and smiled shyly.

"I haven't gone in yet. ”

As she spoke, the girl lifted her backpack and walked towards the doorway, and the little yellow dog lying next to the stone toad in the doorway wagged its bald tail vigorously at Xiaoqing.

At the moment when the girl turned around, Chen Yuxing froze. He was stunned by the girl's innocent, innocent and romantic expression, and it took a while for his soul to return to his body.

It looks like the girl is about twenty years old, with a white and delicate face, a pair of watery eyes, pale eyebrows, a beautiful nose bridge, pale red lips, and her quiet eyes are as deep as the ocean.

Chen Yuxing was stunned for a moment and walked into the inn, the girl was checking in, Chen Yuxing stood on the side of the girl and waited, squinting at the ID card on the counter.

"Li Xiaoqing, 21 years old, is two years younger than me. Chen Yuxing read in his heart.

"Room 208, go up to the second floor and turn left. ”

The waiter handed the access card to Li Xiaoqing.

Chen Yuxing's room is 207, which happens to be opposite the door to 208. He walked to the second floor after completing the check-in procedures and saw Li Xiaoqing holding the access card and tinkering with the door, but he couldn't open the door.

"I'll help you. Chen Yuxing was very pure-minded, and when he saw her embarrassed and anxious appearance, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Chen Yuxing, the first brother of the relationship, still didn't know that he had fallen in love with Li Xiaoqing the moment the two first met outside the inn.

"I'm sorry, I'm stupid. Li Xiaoqing handed the access card to Yuxing and stretched out her little tongue again embarrassedly.

He helped her open the door and handed her the keycard. "Alright. Please contact me if you need any help. He gestured to room 207 across from him.

This is Ah Yuxing's subconscious action to avoid suspicion, he doesn't want the girl to suspect that he is deliberately approaching her or following her with malicious intentions. Chen Yuxing is doing this too much, a tenacious girl like Li Xiaoqing is as complicated as he thought.

Li Xiaoqing took the door card and smiled at Yuxing, who felt as if there was an electric current passing through his body.

"Xiexie, you!" he said and waved his hand into the room.

Only then did Chen Yuxing realize that her cultural shirt was printed on her chest with a bright red heart and a black "I" in capital letters.

This is the first encounter between Chen Yuxing and Li Xiaoqing.

------------------------------------------------------

Chen Yuxing, who was caught in the memory, gently described the word "story", the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes revealed a trace of tenderness from his heart.

The little yellow dog in front of the inn was old, but it still greeted its master loyally, and its bald tail still wagged vigorously at the stars. Entering the inn, he asked for room 207.

He stood silently in front of the door of room 208 for a few seconds, then put away his undulating mood, pushed the door and walked into room 207.

The next day, Chen Yuxing got up on time at that time of that year. The night's torment made his eyes darken slightly. He didn't care about this, hurriedly washed and ate, picked up the backpack he had carried at that time that year, and embarked on a journey to find his first love.

All morning, Chen Yuxing wandered aimlessly in the Sifang City. At that time of the year, he arrived in front of the ×× jewelry and jade shop on the edge of the square. He sat on a stone bench facing the jewelry store and watched as the chubby boss greeted his customers with a smile on his face. The fat boss has not changed much, except that his already bald head can no longer find a single hair, and he is still wearing a white shirt with his store name and logo. His second encounter with Li Xiaoqing was related to this chubby boss.

------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Chen Yuxing got up early and went to the buffet restaurant of the inn to have breakfast, Chen Yuxing ate the longest breakfast in the small restaurant of more than ten square meters, and did not wait for the arrival of the girl in room 208, and then Yuxing left the small restaurant in the puzzled eyes of the black and fat waitress in the restaurant. When Zixing returned to the room, he deliberately stayed in front of the door for a while, quietly listening to the movement of room 208, there was no sound in the room, obviously this girl named Li Xiaoqing had already left the inn to go out to play.

With an inexplicable regret, Chen Yuxing carried his backpack and left the inn to join the army of visiting the ancient city of Sifang. After hanging out for a few hours, Yuxing, who lacked exercise, was tired. He gulped down mineral water to moisten his burning throat, his eyes looking around through the crowd of rubbing shoulders for a place to rest. A middle-aged couple on a stone bench stood up, he ran two steps and sat down, then he took a long breath, stretched his legs very enjoyably, and took a big sip of water, the water swirled in his mouth, and his throat moved and swallowed.

The next moment, his right hand that was spinning the cap of the mineral water bottle stopped, and his eyes looked straight ahead. Opposite him was a jewelry and jade shop, where a familiar and beautiful backdrop was haggling with a chubby middle-aged man.

Chen Yuxing quickly left the stone bench that had made him comfortable for more than ten seconds, and hurriedly ran into the jewelry store.

"This is a real bean seed A goods, you see how much water is enough, I also see that your little girl is fresh and lovely, so I will give you a 20% discount, 800, not a single point less. The fat boss was full of foaming boasts, trying his best to sell the jade in his hand, but he didn't forget to compliment the girl at the right time.

The girl holds a small Guanyin pendant in her hand, less than one centimeter wide and about two centimeters long, with a green color, which is indeed lovely, especially for girls.

However, Chen Yuxing, with his more than a year of "mineralogy" study in geology, as well as the professional knowledge he learned in the mineral laboratory for several years, is really grasping his toes to identify real and fake gemstones, and he can see at a glance that this is a fake, and it is fake, and it cannot be colored in fake nephrite. No more than 10 yuan on the stall.

The girl seemed to like this pendant very much and was flickered by the praise of the fat boss, she hesitated for a while and gave a new price.

"Three hundred, I'll take it. ”

When the fat boss heard this, his eyes widened, as if a piece of meat in his heart had been dug out.

"This young lady, you are too good, you don't have such a way to bargain. Cut it in half and cut it in half, seven hundred, and if you want it, you will take it. ”

The fat boss pretended to lose a pound of fat on his body, and said in pain.

"Xiaoqing, my wallet is left in the room, I don't have that much money on me, let's buy it again in the afternoon." ”

Before the girl could express her position, Chen Yuxing grabbed her hand with one hand, grabbed the pendant with the other hand and stuffed it into the fat boss's hand, and walked out of the store.

Li Xiaoqing was startled, and the other hand broke his fingers, and when he saw that it was Chen Yuxing, he stopped his movements and followed him out of the store with suspicion.

"Hey, miss, don't go, I'll sell it for three hundred yuan. ”

The fat boss was obviously in a hurry and shouted to the two. Seeing that the two of them were walking away, he muttered a few curses in his mouth. At the same time, the business was aborted.

Li Xiaoqing also understood at this time that she was almost deceived just now, so she said with gratitude:

"Xiexie, you!" was the second time she thanked Yuxing. Then she wrinkled her little nose and clenched her little fist and said hatefully: "This dead fat man dares to lie to me." ”

"I still have a little bit of research on gemstones, and his goods are the worst nephrite jade, not worth ten dollars. In this kind of scenic area, it is best not to buy such things that look valuable, it is easy to be fooled. Yuxing put a very dragged POSE, and said with a lot of teasing.

"Can you let go of my hand?" Li Xiaoqing's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was glutinous.

Chen Yuxing let go of his hand in embarrassment, rubbed it pretending to be cute, and there was a sound of "humming" in his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Chen Yuxing was very reluctant to let go of her little hand, and the soft, lubricated and delicate feeling made him stay.

"You're traveling on your own. In order to break the awkward atmosphere between the two, Yuxing said curtly.

"yes, I'm alone, I'm so bored at home. I see you're also traveling alone, right? ”

Yuxing nodded, took out a bottle of iced tea from his backpack and handed it to Li Xiaoqing.

"Thirsty, aren't you?"

Xiaoqing took the drink a little helplessly, but she didn't have much disgust with Yuxing's self-cooked behavior.

She secretly glanced at Yuxing.

I saw that he had some messy black hair, big black eyes, a high nose bridge, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a bad feeling. With a height of 1.75 meters, although it is only of medium height in the north, it seems to stand out in the south. He has a well-proportioned body and strong muscles, and he has the potential to be a "man".

Xiaoqing didn't open the drink, but silently followed Yuxing's side, like a very obedient little daughter-in-law.

"Where are you going?" asked Yuxing.

"I should take a look at the little souvenirs. She replied cautiously, afraid that Yuxing would stop her from shopping.

"I have no purpose, you can do whatever you want. "Yuxing really doesn't have any special places he wants to go, his trip to the ancient city this time is just for the purpose of distraction, it doesn't matter where he goes or what he sees.

Yuxing slowed down slightly and followed Xiaoqing. In this way, the two tacitly walked around the Sifang City together.

With the passage of time, the road traveled lengthened, and the shy Xiaoqing became more and more lively.

"Scoundrel, take a picture of me. Xiaoqing took out the digital camera.

"Hmm". Yuxing flatteringly took the camera and posed for a standard photographer. The mouth muttered exaggeratedly: "It's a pity." ”

"What did you say?" a bunch of cartoon-like question marks popped up above Xiaoqing's head.

"I said it's a pity, it's a pity that you don't have a background with the scenery that matches you. When Yuxing was in college, there was not a single girl in the class, which was commonly known as the "monk" class. In the past four years, he has rarely had contact with girls, and he should have lacked experience in dating girls, but he has no teacher, and he is familiar with pleasing Li Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing's crooked eyes were more like crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth were completely upturned, revealing a row of white teeth. Yuxing took the opportunity to take a few photos.

"You're so exaggerated!" Xiaoqing was full of joy and said humbly.

"The conscience of heaven and earth. Yuxing stroked his heart with his right hand and said very reverently.

"I'll take a few pictures for you, too. Xiaoqing took the camera and urged Yuxing to swing the POSE.
