Chapter 100: Tryst by the River

Shi Xiang called a taxi and hurried home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info got out of the car, she saw that the lights were still on, and she was relieved and anxious to knock on the door. Suddenly, a bright light came through, lit up, lit up again. Shi Xiang looked back and heard someone call her: "Shi Xiang, I'm here." ”

Ouya got out of the car and walked over to Shika. Shi Xiang greeted him excitedly and said, "You haven't gone back yet?" ”

"It's okay, take a nap."

"Go sit down when you get home?"

"Don't bother Auntie. How about we just walk around the neighborhood? ”

"Okay."

Eurasia habitually looks at the table. In the dim light, nothing could be seen clearly. Only then did he remember that the mirror that had bothered him had left him forever in exchange for an expensive watch that could only be seen in bright light. Expensive is for everyone to see, practical only in their own hearts. Eurasia couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Xiang pointed to the gold watch, and his index finger was raised to his lips, and he shook it again. She asked for the gold watch, fiddled with it for a while, and returned it to Eurasia. Eurasia was amazed.

Only then did Shi Xiang speak: "Now you can speak safely." ”

"Eavesdropping?"

Shi Xiang didn't answer, and a trace of surprise flashed across her face. Eurasia reacted, feeling a little embarrassed. He remembered that Shi Xiang had always suspected that he had eavesdropped on her conversation with Jiang Hui. Eurasia once again assured Shi Xiang: "Please believe me, there is absolutely no eavesdropping function on the mirror watch. Jiang Hui changed my watch, if you don't believe it, you can ask him. ”

Shi Xiang shook her head. Little did she expect that the first formal conversation after many years would begin in such an unpleasant way.

"Aren't we going to talk about watching?"

Eurasia was relieved and agreed: "Okay!" ”

Passers-by walked by, looking at them curiously. Shi Xiang asked for his opinion: "Let's go to the river for a walk?" ”

"Let's go."

At the gate, a security guard greeted Shi Xiang, but his eyes looked at Eurasia. "Shigong, do you want to go out?"

Shi Xiang replied generously: "My classmate came to see me, and I took him for a walk around." ”

Out of the gate of the community, across the road, is an open green park. Following the trail, they went all the way down to the river. Stone benches are placed on the berm. Ouya wanted to take Shi Xiang's hand and walk to the stone chair. Shi Xiang's hand shook like an electric shock and retracted. Outside of this, he pointed to the stone chair and said, "Let's sit there." ”

The river is murmuring and the stars are shining. Eurasia sighed: "How beautiful the night is, I don't know how many years I haven't admired the stars in the night sky." ”

"Yes, after coming to BJ, in this big forest made of cement, I never had the heart to look at the stars."

Eurasia asked, "How are you doing after all these years?" ”

"Average, it's okay. What about you? ”

"It's okay, but I'm tired."

"I see you're much stronger than before, and you're still tired?"

Eurasia said: "There is no intimate friend to talk to, and my heart is very empty. ”

This was a clever hint, Shi Xiang's heart trembled, but she didn't take the topic and pulled away. They carefully probed each other's pasts, and they were ready to go, for fear that an inadvertent word thrown into the water would cause ripples on the water. They touched each other's softest places, and there was a tingling feeling, but they didn't dare to go deeper.

They all avoided talking about Jiang Hui. Jiang Hui is like a fly choked in his throat, disgusting and vomiting. Seeing Shi Xiang skillfully fiddling with Jiang Hui's gold watch, Eurasia knew that she must know some of Jiang Hui's secrets. But until now, Eurasia has not regarded Jiang Hui as its real opponent. He had long lost interest in Jiang Hui, but Jiang Hui had been pestering him. He saw that Shi Xiang didn't want to talk about the gold watch, so he didn't ask. It's all trivial, and he just has to go back and study it, and he will be able to learn about the construction and secrets of the gold watch. Shi Xiang didn't want to talk about Jiang Hui, because she still had a worry in her heart, what was Ouya doing, so many people were paying attention to him. Jiang Hui had warned her before this. Is Jiang Hui hinting to himself in his words that he is a person from the public security, at least he has a close relationship with the public security. If Eurasia is really a bad guy and she tells Eurasia Jiang Hui's secret, then isn't she helping the bad guys? Although Shi Xiang believes that Eurasia will not be that kind of person, after all, it has been many years, and it is still necessary to understand more.

They don't talk about work and avoid family matters, these are sensitive topics. Exposure to these topics too early can only cause mutual unpleasantness. They are all looking for something happy, light-hearted. It was past midnight, and there wasn't much time left for them.

"I remember when I was a member of the study committee in middle school, I used to have a dream for a while. I dreamed that you kept handing me in homework. There have been a few times when you have turned in your homework, but it turned out to be a class that you haven't attended yet. You did it in advance. What does this dream mean? I've been embarrassed to ask you before. Now you can help me interpret this dream. ”

Eurasia was secretly surprised, he couldn't imagine what he was doing in the other dimension, and it also interfered with people in reality to a certain extent, and it appeared in the other party's heart in the form of a dream. It seems that even in another dimension, you can't bother a person too much. However, it seems to be related to a person's physique. The one he had the most contact with in the alien space was Lu Shaolin, but he never mentioned the dream to him. Ouya steadied his mind and joked to Shi Xiang quietly: "As the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night. It means you're thinking about me. ”

"Not serious." Shi Xiang was dissatisfied, "I thought you would say it, which means I noticed that you have started to study hard. Start changing the problem that you don't have to study. ”

Ouya hurriedly picked up the words: "Yes, I remember that since I was injured, I have been lying in bed all day long, and I have become fond of learning. I went over and over the notes you gave me and started practicing. During that time, I especially liked to look through your notes, and there seemed to be a particularly good smell in that book. ”

Shi Xiang was originally quietly listening to Eurasia's story, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but interject: "It's not serious again." ”

Ouya panicked, and hurriedly explained: "Really, I smelled it carefully, it was not the smell of ink, it was the fragrance of plants." I've smelled it somewhere. Ah, by the way, before the Dragon Boat Festival. I smelled it at the entrance in front of the market. ”

"Wet market?"

"yes, somebody sells wormwood and cattails. Bunches are sold, and there are quite a few people who buy them. What I smell in my notebook is a mixture of these two herbs. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Shi Xiang became excited, "One year during the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother and I also sold mugwort leaves and cattails. In my mother's house, there are many ditches and wormwood cattails growing everywhere. My dad went to the countryside in a row to pull two big carts. Pile up at home, fill the house with aromas. Maybe you've smoked the exercise book you bought. ”

Ouya was a little surprised, unexpectedly that Shi Xiang did not hide her experience as a hawker in front of him. In addition, the exercise book is not simply unintentionally incense, but bookmarks like a number of cattails and wide blades of grass.

Under the starry sky, Shi Xiang's eyes were shining, because the memories made her vibrant. Seeing that Ouya hadn't spoken for a long time, she asked, "What do you want?" ”

"I remember, there were some cattail leaves in the exercise book." Ouya asked tentatively, carefully observing the expression on Shi Xiang's face.

Shi Xiang looked up and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't remember." Possibly. Maybe it's not necessarily a good deal. I like to bookmark the veins of eucalyptus leaves, as well as small pieces of maple leaves. It is dyed in a variety of colors and looks particularly beautiful. The leaves of cattails are too long, the veins are too smooth, the flesh is thick, and there is a lot of moisture, which is not suitable for bookmarking. ”

Eurasia was a little disappointed, and understood that Shi Xiang didn't have to lie about it, and could only say that the cattail leaves that appeared in the exercise book were accidental.

Eurasia asked, "I have been to your house, do you remember?" ”

Shi Xiang nodded and said, "Remember." I wasn't home that day, Dad told me later. ”

"It's a pity," Ouya wanted to say, but it's a pity that I won't see your dad again. But when the words came to his lips, they became: "It's a pity that I haven't seen your mother before, otherwise I wouldn't have this appearance today." ”

"My mom has seen you."

"When?"

"You're on a rampage on the sidewalk on your bike. My mother also asked, who is that leng boy, and he is not afraid of bumping into people! ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"What do I choreograph you to do, and you're full? Besides, the book was originally yours, so you don't have to return it. You're so bad, you're deliberately looking for an excuse to come to my house. ”

"Yes, I wanted to see what the house of the person who selflessly helped me was like. How is Dad, how is Mom, how did you teach such a good daughter to help others? ”

"Don't be poor, my house is so dirty and messy, isn't it?"

Eurasia remembered the strong smell of salted fish, and the dried fish that was drying all over the house. Eurasia laughed and said lightly: "It's very life-like." Your dad let me in and sit for a while and took a few sips of water. The tea was brewed in a large porcelain teapot with cattail grass soaked in it. Your father said that this tea quenches thirst and heat, and it is specially for coolie cows like them. It can be seen that your father is happy by nature and is a very kind person. ”

Speaking of this, Eurasia suddenly stopped. Shi Xiang rubbed her eyes, raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, you can say it." ”

"To this day, I have seen your family of three. They're all nice people. If I had the chance, I would like to meet your other relatives, especially your grandfather. ”

"He's long gone." Shi Xiang was sad again.

"It's a shame. Tell me about it later, it will be interesting. I'm a very careless person. I don't care much about my family's affairs, and I don't know much. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I know, as long as I have the chance, I will tell you slowly in the future. As soon as I heard from you this time, I was so happy that I rushed over immediately. I just want to tell you that what I have said to you before is from my heart. You are my only and I will love you forever. Although the conditions are not yet ripe, you must believe me, I will definitely overcome all kinds of difficulties and live with you as soon as possible. If you have any requirements for me, you can say to me, and I will do my best to satisfy you. ”

Shi Xiang's cheeks flushed, and a sense of happiness made her heart flutter. But some of Jiang Hui's words were like scratches on the record, making ear-piercing screams in the sweet song. She couldn't help but ask, "Just tell me, what secrets are in your mirror?" ”

Eurasia was stunned, which really embarrassed him. "I'm sorry, but I can't say anything to you about that. If I have to say something, then I will answer you like this: 'If there is a secret, it will not be long before you know.' Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

"Is it understandable that in the near future, I will know the secret?"

"That's your understanding. I still say the same thing, please forgive me. ”

"When did you learn to use diplomatic rhetoric with me?"

Eurasia smiled helplessly.

Shi Xiang still didn't give up when she saw this, her curiosity was too strong. asked: "If there is a secret, how can you easily hand over the mirror watch to Jiang Hui?" ”

This can only show that there is no so-called secret of Jiang Hui in the mirror. The watch I gave you is exactly the same as the watch I gave him, and you can open it to see if there are any secrets. ”

"Then do you know what the so-called 'Jiang Hui's so-called secret' is?"

"Doesn't that have anything to do with your major?"

This sword-like conversation made Shi Xiang giggle. How many years have passed, Shi Xiang can't remember whether she has had such a relaxed but unusually scathing conversation before.

Eurasia looked at his watch and said, "I had a good night." ”

"Me too."

Ouya looked at Shi Xiang, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he longed: "Can I hug you?" ”

Shi Xiang couldn't help but take a step back and shook her head with a smile. "No, it's not time yet!"

Ouya was silent, and only said in a half-loud voice: "It's almost dawn, let's go back?" ”

"Let's go back."

They walked side by side towards the gate of the community.
