In addition to the hustle and bustle, in the bustling city, a unique way, away from the reinforced concrete, the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, the mountain road is gradually rugged, Xiao Xubai slowed down the speed to make them sit more comfortable, after turning a few corners, the cement road has come to an end, Xiao Xubai parked the car on the side of the road, got up and opened the car door for them, Gu Nanfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and somehow he remembered the poem of another village.

Blue bricks and tiles, small bridges and flowing water, the long corridor with twists and turns can be faintly seen in the distance, as if returning to the ancient Jiangnan water town in an instant, the tall archway is engraved with four big characters with a small dragon flying phoenix dance: Xicheng Ancient Town.

Xiao Qi hadn't woken up yet, rubbed his eyes and suddenly widened, "Wow, it's so beautiful!" ”

There is no hustle and bustle of tourist attractions, and the tranquility of a paradise makes the mood brighter.

The soft smile on the corner of Xiao Xubai's lips never faded, "Let's go, this is a project that I have been working on last year, and I plan to open it to the public again in the second half of the year, and you can be regarded as the first batch of tourists."

After walking into the scenic spot, Xiao Qi's mouth never closed, and he wanted to touch it everywhere, so Xiao Xubai let her go and accompany Gu Nanfeng by herself.

"Mr. Xiao" The management of the scenic spot saw someone coming in and immediately greeted him, "The hotel has been arranged, will you stay now?" ”

The afternoon sun was still a little dazzling, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the person's forehead, and his face looked red, Xiao Xubai nodded, "Let's go over now."

The scenic spot is full of bluestone paved paths, there is no way to drive the car in, the management staff waved his hand to prepare a few electric sightseeing cars to come over, Gu Nanfeng stared at a few bicycles leaning against the corner of the wall, it is the kind of horizontal bar bicycle that often appears in old movies of the Republic of China, blue sky, white clouds, blue bricks and blue tiles, with retro bicycles, instantly makes people have the urge to freeze this scene.

Before he came back to his senses, Xiao Xubai had already walked over and pushed the car over, patting the back seat, "Come up, I'll take you"

Xiao Qi also rubbed over, his face was full of curiosity, "Mom, I want to sit too"

"Well, that's it, let that uncle take you"

Xiao Xubai unceremoniously pointed to the empty one next to him, and immediately an interested subordinate came over, "Miss, please come here."

Xiao Qi reluctantly followed him, in the past, she was the biggest in the Xiao family, and now she is the biggest in Teacher Gu, if she is replaced by someone else, she may still be angry, but Teacher Gu's words have passed, although she doesn't understand her mother's feelings for her very well, but the lonely and unbearable years in her youth are thanks to her company, and now she has a healthy and lively Xiao Qi.

"Uh...... No, I'll just follow the sightseeing car" Gu Nanfeng took a step back and refused softly.

Xiao Xubai deliberately coughed twice, or the manager trotted over just now, "I'm really sorry Mr. Xiao, the sightseeing car hasn't had time to charge yet"

"......" Gu Nanfeng was expressionless, with a capital indifference on his face, and three black lines appeared on the corners of his forehead.

"In this way, I can only wronged you, believe me, it will be fine" When she smiled slightly, her amber eyes were full of lakes and mountains, and she was the brightest ethereal color in the landscape.

Gu Nanfeng nodded like a ghost, and she was turned into the back seat of the car.

"Let's go" Xiao Xubai rang the car bell, and the crisp sound spread far along the bluestone slab.

The corners of Gu Nanfeng's lips finally showed a soft smile, and he raised his eyes to watch her white shirt flying, and some strands of hair fell mischievously to her neck, it is not difficult to imagine what a relaxed and happy smile on her face, she is obviously already thirty years old, but it is easier to be satisfied than before.

The place to stay is the boutique hotel in the ancient town, deliberately made into an antique inn, the wooden structure of the bamboo building stepped on the crunch, the winding corridor handrails are carved with retro reliefs, the carved window lighting is very good, the sunlight is sprinkled along the gap mottled land, there are rockery pavilions in the patio, a pear tree is planted near the door, a few rattan chairs are placed under the tree, and it is a good place to go in the summer to enjoy the shade.

Xiao Xubai led her up to the second floor, and introduced as she walked, "The field of vision here is broader, you can hear the murmuring of water at night, push open the window and the moat is not far away, we can also go boating at night"

Xiao Qi is still nostalgic for the food street he just passed, "Can I go to eat barbecue, and the braised pork looks so fragrant?"

There are also a lot of snacks that she can't name.

"Yes, let's go together at night" Xiao Xubai spoke neatly, Xiao Qi immediately cheered, but Gu Nanfeng lowered his eyes, just to bring her to play, he made so many preparations, whether it was true or false, she was already a little unable to see through her.

Xiao Qi wanted to sleep with Gu Nanfeng, looked at his mother, and was reluctant to leave her, when he was in a dilemma, Gu Nanfeng took the initiative to ask for a separate room.

"Won't you be afraid?"

She shook her head, "I'm used to sleeping alone."

Xiao Xubai didn't force it anymore, in fact, there was a standard room with a triple bed, but she still responded to her request and pushed open a door in the depths of the corridor, "See if you like it, if you don't like it, you can change it again, there are many decoration styles here."

Small and fresh pastoral style, with balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a stone wall, Gu Nanfeng nodded, "Let's do it"

"Okay, then we'll be next to you, just come and knock on the door if you have something, the sun is too poisonous now, rest for a while, and then we'll go out for a walk when the sun goes down"

She arranged it in an orderly manner and thought about herself everywhere, Gu Nanfeng couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so she had to nod again, "Okay"

The smile on the corner of Xiao Xubai's lips softened a little, she was so well-behaved that she couldn't help but want to touch her head, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, the person shrank back, so she was stunned in place, after all, it was too abrupt.

"I ...... I rested first."

"Okay, then I'll go" After Xiao Xubai said goodbye, he gently covered the door for her and went back to his room.

When it was time for dinner, he went over to knock on the door again, and after a while, he heard the sound of Xi Xisuo, Gu Nanfeng opened the door from the inside, wearing a vest and hot pants, his hair fell on his snow-white and smooth shoulders, and there was a hint of lazy taste.

"Are you hungry, do you want to eat?"

Gu Nanfeng nodded, seeing her gaze fall on her collarbone and close the door a little, blocking most of her vision.

"Got it, I'll go down later"

Because it is not yet open, although the lights are lit up on both sides of the river, it is peaceful, and the heart is also quiet between the mountains and rivers, the weather is sunny during the day, and the sky is full of stars at night, so that the place with beautiful mountains and rivers seems to be able to touch the night sky with your hand.

The sound of the canopy oars was intertwined with the murmuring of the water into a brisk movement, Gu Nanfeng stretched out his hand to bow the water, the indifferent and sharp look on his face faded, and the smile seemed to return to the gentle and clean girl in the past in an instant, which made Xiao Xubai's heart warm.

"Do you like it here?"

Gu Nanfeng nodded, and when he crossed the bridge hole, the hull of the boat shook slightly, Xiao Xubai quickly supported her with his white hand, and the whole person fell into her arms because of inertia.

There was a trace of panic on Gu Nanfeng's face, and when he quickly broke free from her arms, the hull shook again, and he fell back unexpectedly, his nose was filled with the fresh smell of perfume on her body, and the person's sullen smile sounded above his head, making Gu Nanfeng's face float with a wisp of redness.

Although she coveted the warmth on her body, Xiao Xubai still let go of the hand around her waist and whispered to her, "Be careful, sit tight, the water here is not shallow."

was a little disturbed by this accident, Gu Nanfeng no longer had any thoughts, Xiao Xubai saw that she was absent-minded and took the initiative to return, and wanted to say something to her after returning to the inn, but the person had already closed the door, so he had to give up.

Maybe it was because of the change of environment, Gu Nanfeng couldn't sleep for a long time, and finally had a trace of sleepiness after tossing and turning, but he was awakened by a nightmare, got up from the bed and breathed heavily, his throat was dry and uncomfortable.

She rolled over and got out of bed and stumbled to pour water to drink, took out the medicine bottle from her bag, poured a few pills indiscriminately, and drank the cold water.

It's always easy to be inexplicably depressed, especially in such a quiet night, there are insects chirping outside the window, but Gu Nanfeng's heart is difficult to calm down, the changes in the family and the long-term accumulation of love in her heart almost crushed her, and she fell to the floor weakly.

Xiao Xubai also couldn't sleep, she couldn't sleep next door, because it was too real and more like a dream, she got up from the bed and tucked the quilt for Xiao Qi, and put on her coat and went out.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and the patio was sprinkled with dappled moonlight, Xiao Xubai leaned on the railing and looked at the carved window next door, and the corners of his lips had always had a soft arc.

Suddenly she heard a slight sob, she tightened her brows, walked over slowly, leaned over the door and listened carefully for a while, and pushed the door straight in.

"South wind" she shouted softly, no one answered, and there was a figure curled up on the terrace in the dark, her back was thin and her shoulders kept shaking, which made Xiao Xubai's heart hurt fiercely.

As soon as her hand was placed on her shoulder, the man struggled violently, "Don't touch me!" ”

"Nanfeng, it's me, it's me" She struggled so hard that Xiao Xubai had to encircle the whole person into her arms from behind, and kept whispering in her ear: "It's me, don't be afraid, it's me, it's me again, I'm here, it's okay"

Under her patient comfort, the man gradually calmed down, fell softly into her arms, burst into tears, and bit his lower lip to refuse to cry.

"Sue me, what did you dream about?" In the days when she was not by her side, how many times did this kind of thing have to be repeated every day, and when she thought that she had been tortured like this, and it would continue in the future, Xiao Xubai's heart was like a knife.

Gu Nanfeng just shook his head blindly, refusing to say anything, and when he struggled to get up from her arms, he was taken into his arms with open arms.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, when do you want to sue me, then say, I'm your tree hole"

She has reassuring power, and the strength of the hug is just right, so that people will not want to resist and will not feel her temperature.

"I don't want to go on like this...... I want to live a normal life...... "Because she has been suffering from depression for a long time, she has few friends around her, and her former friends have long been cut off, and she doesn't dare to try to contact new people, which is why she has always rejected Ye Qiu.

Maybe it was her embrace that made people feel at ease, or maybe it was the soft moonlight, Gu Nanfeng finally presented the softest side of his heart in front of her with tears.

"I have never felt that you are abnormal, you are very good, very good, a person also works hard and lives hard, and does not go down like everyone else, and the suffering given to us by fate will one day bloom from the dust, just like the night, you see" She stretched out her hand and pointed to the starry night sky, and the moon was sinking in the west, rendering her eyebrows softer.

"No matter how dark the night is, there will always be a time of dawn"

Maybe it was to respond to her words, a meteor crossed the sky, and the east gradually turned white, Xiao Xubai closed his eyes and there was a hint of piety on his face, "Make a wish, South Wind"

Gu Nanfeng looked at the meteor with his long tail in the night sky in a daze, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, but his expression had softened, and finally followed her example and closed his eyes reverently.

May my south wind be safe and joyful, and all sickness and affliction and natural calamities** beupon me.

Xiao Xubai opened her eyes, saw that her long eyelashes trembled lightly and were stained with dewdrops, and silently repeated it in her heart, I hope there is really a god who can hear her pious prayer.

That night, she hugged her and chattered a lot, from the minutiae when they were together to the amazement after separation, from Xiao Qi slowly growing up to finally speak, but the first name she called was Teacher Gu, from the time she left Xiao Shi with nothing to start her own business, she hid the poor life of selling her house and car in the basement with a lot of debt, and only told her that her current self is no longer at the mercy of others, and has the material basis for giving her a happy life.

also talked about the great help of Qin Ge Xiaogao and other original subordinates, and talked about the changes in City B over the years, B University expanded its new campus, and the first money she earned from the three-bedroom house was bought back, and little by little it was furnished to its original appearance.

Over the years, there have been many suitors, but she has devoted herself to her work, and has never done anything out of the ordinary, and her spare time is either used to accompany Xiao Qi or think about her, flip through the diary she has written, read the books she has read, learn to cook and tidy up the housework, and after a period of depression, she walked out and sharpened herself more mellow and soft.

She said quietly, her tone was soft, and Gu Nanfeng listened quietly, until she finally leaned on her shoulder and fell asleep.

"South Wind ......" Xiao Xubai lowered her eyes, she closed her eyes slightly, there was a trace of tiredness on her face, the chaotic look just now faded, her complexion was fair, and she was so pale that it was transparent, which made her heart hurt again, and she gently picked up the person and put her on the bed.

Picked up the scattered medicine bottles and threw them into the trash, closed the patio door, closed the curtains, and sat down on the edge of her bed again.

How many times in the dream haunting the face is now really lying beside herself, this kind of joy of regaining it also made her eyes slightly wet, want to reach out to hug her again but afraid of waking up the person who finally fell asleep, eyes fell on her thin lips, there was no trace of blood, thin and distressing, but it made her heart swell with a throbbing that had not appeared for a long time.

It should be fine just to kiss it......

The heart began to pound, like a little rabbit in his arms, the nervous love fermented in the dark and spread to every nerve ending, even the confrontation with the customer has never been so nervous.

Xiao Xu's diphtheria moved slightly, swallowed saliva, and then carefully knelt beside the bed, slowly leaned over, holding her breath, the fluff on her face was clearly visible, the hair slid down to her neck, and the seductive scenery under the neckline was faintly visible.
