Sixty-six, the first dew
Shandan snatched the card from Yao Xiaoling's hand.
It was a small, warm pink peach-shaped cardboard with a beautiful hand of English on it:
DearMiss-jin:

Shandan was very excited, and she held Yao Xiaoling's hand and trembled slightly.
She had been looking forward to it for so long, how much she wished he could feel her heart and expectations?
Now, here! It's really coming!
Yao Xiaoling looked at the joy and coquettishness on Shandan's face, and she guessed that this one might be the one that Shandan had revealed a little bit of information to her - the male god that Shandan once had a crush on.
"Is that the one?" she asked. Is that him? ”
Shandan even burst into tears of excitement, and she nodded vigorously.
Yao Xiaoling cheered happily: "Wow-great! Hurry up! What time is it? Wow, it's six o'clock! Hurry up and eat, dress up and go on a date after eating! She picked up Shandan and spun around a few times.
The students who passed by looked at the two crazy girls and looked sideways.
The two hurriedly went to eat, and the two who were already hungry were so excited that they couldn't eat, so they ate hastily and ran back to the dormitory.
The two began to tinker, and Shandan thought that he could just wash his face and comb her short energetic hair.
She has never been in the habit of applying grease and powder, she has neither the time to dress up nor the rich money to buy fat powder, and she is confident enough in her appearance - she has three points of freshness and seven points of refined temperament without dressing up. Therefore, I usually just apply a little alabaster to resist the damage caused by the cold and dry climate of the Mongolian plateau.
Besides, women are pleasing to themselves, but Shandan thinks that "women are pleasing to themselves", and there is no one to please themselves, so there is no need to waste such precious time.
But Yao Xiaoling must dress up in Shandan, saying that in this way she can win the heart of the male god in one fell swoop.
To make his eyes shine at the same time, his heart is excited! Since then, I can't put it down.
But when Shandan looked at the face that was overly delicately painted by her classmates, even she was embarrassed to look at it, so she ran to the bathroom and washed it with facial cleanser.
The sisters in the dormitory were full of complaints, and their efforts were spent in vain.
Only Shandan herself knows that what she wants is a bosom lover, and this person is by no means coveted by her beauty. Besides, what she despises the most is to show people in color, although she is beautiful, she will never allow herself to be an empty vase ornament.
Nor will she be tempted by a man who is superficial and merely intoxicated by her beauty.
Seeing that the time is coming soon, Shandan sorted out his mood, faced the sky, and went to the appointment refreshingly. Seeing that the time was just right, Shandan came to the cottage in the playground, and she stood outside the door and knocked softly.
Gu Haiping was obviously not ready, he was wearing a shirt that didn't fit well and a pair of blue pants, which was a little different from his usual neat appearance.
Shandan was stunned for a moment, she wanted to go on a date for the first time, and she was the person she liked, so she was embarrassed to be late, it seemed that she was early.
Seeing the joy on Gu Haiping's face, Shandan's restrained and blushing face slowly returned to its original appearance.
When Shandan entered the house, he saw a small desk covered with a white tablecloth with various fruits, two of which Shandan did not know their names.
There are also two delicate glasses on the table, and three candles on each side of the table.
Makes the otherwise small table feel a little cramped.
Gu Haiping asked Shandan to sit on the opposite side of the table, and went back to the back room to change into clean and tidy clothes.
Shandan didn't dare to look up at Gu Haiping's eyes, she was a little shy, and with slightly red cheeks, she watched Gu Haiping take out a box of matches and light six candles, and then extinguished the electric lights.
The room was filled with the soft, flickering, dim light of the candles.
In such a romantic and ethereal candlelight, Gu Haiping started his "party" between the two of them this time.
"No one else?" Shandan was a little bit happy and a little nervous.
"Have you eaten? We just sat down and talked. Today is the first anniversary of my move to this cottage, and I wanted to celebrate, so I thought I'd invite you. It's a bit abrupt, don't you mind? Gu Haiping did not answer Shandan's words, but explained the reason for inviting Shandan.
"No, oh, uh-huh......" Shandan didn't know how to continue the conversation, but Shandan, who usually talks and does things, is now stammering.
"Oh, that's good, I'm worried you won't come. You can eat some fruit, let's have a drink to celebrate! Gu Haiping said enthusiastically.
The two raised a glass of Coke, and Shandan stood up and said heartily, "Congratulations first!" Thank you again for having me. ”
Gu Haiping smiled slightly: "I should thank you for coming!" Come, eat this, this is the southern fruit, lychee. ”
Looking at the red, round walnut-sized thing in Gu Haiping's hand, Shandan suddenly remembered the poem of the late Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu: "Chang'an looks back at the piles of embroidery, and the top of the mountain is opened one after another. As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was a lychee. It is the story of Emperor Tang Ming, who smiled at Yang Guifei and did not hesitate to mobilize the crowd to send lychees to Chang'an from the south.
Although the people are working hard and losing money, isn't Tang Minghuang's love and friendship for Yang Yuhuan what every woman desires?
This is the lychee that made the concubine smile?
Shandan was in a trance for a moment, and Gu Haiping looked at it. He said: "This is the lychee that Yang Guifei laughed at. Do you taste it? ”
As he spoke, he gently peeled off the shell of the lychee, revealing the flesh as pure as egg whites.
It was this thoughtful gesture that touched Shandan.
"Maybe he's worried that I'm embarrassed that I don't know lychee and don't know how to eat it." A kind of warmth rose in Shandan's heart.
She took it and put it in her mouth, and a light sweetness permeated the corners of her lips and the tip of her tongue, and a faint fragrance soaked into her nose.
No wonder "300 lychees a day, no matter how long you are a Lingnan person" (Su Shi of the Song Dynasty "Huizhou One Unique"). "The nectar condenses into an ice, and the dew is thicker and more fragrant" (Fan Chengda's "Four Uniques of New Lychee").
It turns out that such descriptions are all no exaggeration!
Watching Shandan revel in the deliciousness of lychees, looking at the longing and confusion in her eyes, a pair of dimples appeared shallowly, Gu Haiping really fell in love with this elementary school girl.
He looked at her appreciatively, and she came back to her senses from a momentary reverie.
Realizing that the other person's gaze stayed on his face for a long time, with love and deep thought.
Shandan lowered her head in embarrassment, embarrassed by her momentary trance. She wondered if he would think that he had been captured by a lychee? She remorsefully felt for her gaffe.
Gu Haiping realized his gaffe, so he smiled: "How is it?" Is it worth Yang Guifei's smile? ”
"Well, it's worth it! It's really delicious! I always thought that the literati and artists exaggerated its deliciousness. That's really the case! Shandan said.
"If you think about it, the lychees we eat are still so delicious after many days of storage and transportation. I don't know how unforgettable fresh lychees should be? Gu Haiping looked yearning and intoxicated.
Shandan couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe, if you want to say that girls like delicious food, it turns out that boys are also gluttonous!" ”
