Chapter Thirty-Nine: Reminiscing about the Past in the Hot Springs
After a day of noisy work, the night finally returned to silence. www.biquge.info The two of them walked to their accommodation after dinner, and the night was very quiet, so quiet that it penetrated the soul, and the Swiss summer night was not hot and dry, but as cool as water, very comfortable. Neither of them spoke, walking side by side, a long, dim shadow cast on the ground, not intimate.
"Let's go to the hot springs tonight!" Li Zeyuan changed the topic, he looked down at Zhao Xiaoting's book "Mengxi Writings", he had to admit that there are more and more such obscure ancient documents at home, although they look very advanced, but it is also urgent to not understand.
"Hot springs?" Zhao Xiaoting was a little puzzled, is there a hot spring here?
"You'll know at night! Let's go eat. Li Zeyuan took Zhao Xiaoting's hand and walked to the restaurant on the side, every place here was designed by him with his heart, and even the restaurant was specially built a Chinese restaurant, with an antique wooden structure, and a welcoming lady wearing a cheongsam, as soon as she entered the door, there was a big screen, blocking the view, but it was pleasing to the eye.
After dinner, they returned to the villa, Zhao Xiaoting didn't expect that there was really a hot spring hidden in the trees in the back garden of her villa, steaming warm under the moonlight. Zhao Xiaoting was a little surprised, there are snow-capped mountains and hot springs in this place? I'm really lonely! She looked at the pool of water through the glass in the room, and was also very excited, she was in college with that group of girlfriends who skipped class and rented a car to go to Zhongshan to soak in the hot springs, which was really comfortable, and in order to soak in the hot springs, she also specially bought a set of swimsuits, of course, the most conservative style, two pieces up and down, the bottom is a mini skirt, and the top is a style around the neck. I don't know where to pack that dress since I graduated, and I haven't found it.
But this time she didn't bring a swimsuit, but these will not be a problem, since Li Zeyuan has such an arrangement, he must have been prepared, sure enough, Li Zeyuan told her that her swimsuit was in the bathroom in the bedroom, and asked her to go directly to the hot spring after changing her number. Zhao Xiaoting is not a girl who doesn't know anything, so when she saw the bikini hanging there around her neck, she was not too surprised, between adult men and women, isn't that all, thinking like this, Zhao Xiaoting was actually calm, she herself admired that she could be so calm. took off the clothes on his body one by one in front of the big mirror, and then put on the crimson bikini, which was really good, the thighs were slender and white, the lower abdomen was slender and flat without a trace of fat, the chest was wrapped in this small fabric, exposing the upper part, and the spring light on the chest could not be hidden, well, the figure was good, I knew that I should have participated in a young lady draft when I was in college, looking at myself in the mirror, Zhao Xiaoting actually thought divergently! Wrapped tightly in a white towel-textured yukata, he walked slowly downstairs.
She opened the glass door leading to the hot spring, Li Zeyuan was already in the hot spring, he was only wearing a pair of beach pants, and he was sitting naked in the hot spring, Zhao Xiaoting hesitated for a moment, then took off the bathrobe on his body and hung it on the hanger on the side, carefully stretched out his legs and stepped into the hot spring pool, and sat opposite Li Zeyuan, the farthest place from him. I immersed my whole body in water and soaked motionlessly. Although Li Zeyuan was amazed when she took off her yukata, he quickly turned his eyes away and looked indifferent. Seeing him like this, Zhao Xiaoting's heart also settled down a little, she couldn't figure out this person's thoughts, in order to protect herself, it was better to keep a distance from him.
Zhao Xiaoting folded a towel and put it on top of her head!
"What are you doing here?" Li Zeyuan pointed to the towel on her head and asked curiously.
"In the school day manga, the Japanese take a bath with this towel, which is good for the head!" Zhao Xiaoting smiled, she didn't actually say that she watched "Cherry Maruko", and the Maruko in it likes to wear a towel on her head when she is bathing.
"Oh?" Li Zeyuan raised his eyebrows, he had never seen a Japanese comic with such a scene, well, he hadn't seen a few Japanese comics.
"You can try it too, it doesn't hurt anyway!" Zhao Xiaoting picked up a towel and handed it to him.
"I don't need to!" Li Zeyuan directly refused simply, so he didn't want to look stupid with a towel on his head.
Hearing him say this, Zhao Xiaoting was not reluctant, and retracted the hand holding the towel again. She squinted and tilted her head slightly to enjoy the beautiful night, the Swiss sky was very clean, especially in a place like this, the sky was very clean, and the stars were very clear, such a scene had not been seen for a long time.
Since coming to Guangzhou to go to university, there is a new term PM2.5, although the air in Guangzhou is a little stronger than Beijing, but it is far from clean, the sky and stars in my hometown are very beautiful, but I don't have the time to appreciate it. She still remembers the summer when she was a child, every night the whole family slept on the roof of the bungalow, and as soon as she lay down, she could see the sky full of stars or the bright moon, and her ears were the sound of the neighbor's talking and chatting or the sound of the radio and the sound of insects. Now that the house is air-conditioned, she doesn't go to sleep on the roof anymore in the summer, and she comes home less and less.
Li Zeyuan looked at her like this and knew that her romantic thoughts were starting to grow again! "What do you think?"
I don't know when, Li Zeyuan actually sat next to Zhao Xiaoting, which startled her. She didn't want to pull away a little without a trace, but she didn't expect Li Zeyuan to suddenly clasp her arm, and she could only sit in place, just a little distance away, and the two were skin-to-skin. "No, I didn't think about anything. I just think the sky here is beautiful! Zhao Xiaoting tilted her face slightly and didn't look at him.
"It's really beautiful!" Li Zeyuan sighed. When he first chose this place, many people disagreed, thinking that this place was a bit remote and had a great impact on the source of customers, but he was stubborn about the mountains and the sky, ignoring the opinions of those people and building this resort, which proved to be right, this resort has a view to see all year round, and it is very popular.
"When I was a child, my hometown was not as developed as it is now, in the summer, the ground was full of golden wheat waves, the ups and downs were very spectacular, playing with my friends on the threshing floor at night, the grass roots on the ground were not completely removed, and the bare feet stepped on it with slight thorns, but it was very comfortable, the feeling of stepping on the soil was really comfortable, and the night breeze was also mixed with the fragrance of wheat and the fragrance of each family's rice, and I felt happy and free at that time, without a little worry." Zhao Xiaoting became interested as she spoke, "In our rural area, learning is not particularly important, and the family will not be particularly concerned, only I am more controlled by my father, but that is also relative, compared to those children in the city, my control is nothing." At that time, my grandmother's family still raised cows, and every summer vacation, we occasionally followed my grandparents to the mountains to graze cattle, and the cows were grazing on the side, and we would rummage in the grass for crickets and grasshoppers, and use a dog's tail to string them together or put them in drink bottles, and we could also find some wild fruits to eat, and when we were thirsty, we would drink the spring water in the mountains......
Li Zeyuan listened carefully on the side, it was a world that he couldn't imagine at all, and it was also a world he couldn't set foot in, in Zhao Xiaoting's memory, even the jasmine in spring was worth remembering, a thatch was also precious, those times that couldn't go back, those funs that could no longer be experienced, were all beautiful.
"Looks like you were happy when you were a kid!" Li Zeyuan said with emotion. He remembered his childhood, when his mother had not died, he could still eat some pastries made by his mother, but at that time, their family had already made a fortune, everyone was very busy, his father and brother were very busy, although his mother stayed at home to take care of their children with peace of mind, but because the little sister was not in good health, she always occupied all of her mother's body and mind, and his and his second brother's presence in front of his mother was not as good as that of his sister and eldest brother. The sister-in-law took care of them like another mother, telling them stories, cooking things, taking them out to play, etc., but at that time, the black forces in Hong Kong were still rampant, and for their safety, even if they went out, they could only be confined to the library or playground, and the number of times was limited, and they lived in a cage since they were children. Since his mother passed away, his mother entered the door, Li Zeyuan felt that his childhood was over, he had to mediate between his father and his second brother, because of his mother, the second brother always worked against his mother, and he became less and less respectful to his father, and often contradicted, at that time he felt very tired, and at the age of seventeen, he chose to study abroad and escaped from such a repressive family.
"What is happy or not will only be experienced after many years. At that time, I didn't feel very happy, because the people around me did this, and if I didn't feel special, I couldn't feel happy. Zhao Xiaoting lowered her head slightly, if she couldn't go back, who would remember it. It's all about losing it, remembering it, feeling it, and chattering about comparison.
Li Zeyuan nodded, although he felt depressed at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he still feels nostalgic, such as the soup his mother made for them, the sugar man that his sister-in-law bought for him, and his father took them for the weekend, etc., those short times are still worth missing.
The time in the hot springs ended in the two of them missing their own beauty.
