Chapter 114 Visiting the West Lake

In the foggy and rainy weather, on the path by the West Lake, Zhuo Ran held an oil-paper umbrella, and I was next to him.

Yesterday he said that he was going to take me to the West Lake today, so I also wanted to relax, so I went out with him.

When we went out, the sky was a little overcast, but it didn't rain, and we didn't want to have too much burden around us, so we gave up bringing an umbrella.

Who would have thought, as soon as I arrived at the West Lake, it started to rain lightly on this day.

Seeing that there were umbrellas next to us, we bought two umbrellas, but after walking a few steps, we saw an old begging man standing under a willow tree to hide from the rain.

Since the willow trees were not flourishing, the raindrops still fell on the old man. He hugged his shoulders and looked up at the sky with a worried look in his eyes.

Zhuo Ran walked over and handed the umbrella to the old man, and said, "Old man, this umbrella is for you." ”

The old man looked at him, did not go to pick up the umbrella, but clasped his hands into fists, bowed to Zhuo Ran a few times, and shouted "thank you" in a hoarse old voice!

"Old man, don't be polite." Zhuo Ran put the umbrella in the old man's hand.

The old man thanked him again and then left with an umbrella. I walked over and raised my umbrella high to shield Zhuo Ran from the rain. He took the umbrella from me, and he said he would hold it, and then he said to buy another one.

Zhuo Ran was holding an umbrella, mostly leaning to my side, half of his body in the rain. I moved closer to him so he could move the umbrella a little bit to his side.

We walked back to the umbrella stall, the stall owner was collecting the stall, saw us coming, already understood why we came, and quickly told us that the umbrella had been sold out.

Two adults, just hiding under a small umbrella.

I asked Zhuo Ran, "Do you want to go back?" ”

Zhuo Ran looked at me and said, "Do you want to go back?" ”

"But it's raining." I say.

"The West Lake in the rain is more beautiful, let's take a boat, so that we don't have to walk, and we have a place to shelter from the rain." Zhuo Ran said.

I nodded, and the two of us began to look for boats by the West Lake.

"Guest officer, do you want to take a boat?"

A boat slowly approached the shore where we were, and the boatman, wearing a hat and a cloak, called out to us.

After Zhuo Ran and I waited for the boat to dock, he helped me up first, and then got on the boat himself.

The ship had a shed on top that was wider than the hull, otherwise the boatman would have stopped breathing in the current weather.

Zhuo Ran told the boatman about the requirements of the cruise, raised the price, and told the boatman not to carry other guests.

On the rickety boat, Zhuo Ran helped me sit on a wide beam in the cabin.

The boatman slowly rowed the boat, and on the clear lake under his feet, the rain clicked on one circle after another, and the circle rippled layer by layer, and then intertwined with other circles to form another pattern.

"Wherever you want to see, you just have to tell the boatman." Zhuo Ran said on the side.

"Got it." Looking at the small islands in the lake in the rain and fog in the distance, I responded lightly, and I couldn't help but think of the blue sea surface of the vast East China Sea and the verdant mountains that mortals can't see.

When I turned my head to look at the other side, the first thing that caught my eyelid was Zhuo Ran's side face......

He is Zhuo Ran, an ordinary person in the mortal world, a person who has unintentionally become my husband. He may not be the most handsome man in the world, but he has a face that I have known for three hundred years......

That's right......

"Zhuo Ran, have you ever felt that you are different from ordinary people?" Thinking of his face that was exactly the same as Chimanu's, and being caught by demons twice, I couldn't help but ask the above question.

Zhuo Ran turned his head, looked at me and said, "Yes! ”

"Tell me about it!" I almost stood up in excitement, and was pressed down by Zhuoran.

"When I met you, that's where I am different from ordinary people."

The excitement instantly calmed down, and I said, "I'm asking the right questions." ”

Zhuo Ran replied: "I'm also serious. Sometimes I really feel that you were sent to me by heaven. Since you came, you have helped me everywhere without asking for anything in return, and I have not done anything for you. ”

Hearing this, I got goosebumps all over my body, and I looked away a little uncomfortably, and said, "Didn't you say it, you don't have to repay me." ”

"No matter what the reason is for you to come to me, you have done enough for me, and in the future, you don't have to do anything, let me take good care of you." Zhuo Ran said.

"Have you forgotten He Yuxiu?" After saying that, I regretted why I kept mentioning this recently.

"I haven't forgotten. But I can't leave you alone. Zhuo Ran said.

There is a slight gloom in my heart, and I am always an insignificant one wherever I go.

I said, "It's only because of that incident that you left my ......"

"No, Xiao Li, you know what? Do you know how sad I feel after not seeing you that day? I'm afraid I'll never see you again......"

"Don't talk about it." I interrupted Zhuo Ran's unfinished words.

"Are you willing to give me this life with confidence?" Zhuo Ran said again.

I didn't dare to look him in the eye anymore, so I just said, "If He Yuxiu is still here, do you want to like the two of us at the same time?" ”

"No, it won't. In fact, isn't it because of Xiuxiu that we got married? Zhuo Ran said it very simply.

His words make sense, if He Yuxiu hadn't died, I wouldn't have been by his side in order to let him live well, and everything wouldn't have happened.

"Xiao Li, do you want to eat West Lake vinegar fish? It tastes good. ”

"Ahh

"Do you want to eat ......?"

"Don't eat it, let's go back!" I just didn't react because of his sudden change of subject, and it wasn't that I didn't hear it.

"It's been a long time since you've been out, aren't you hungry?" Zhuo Ran asked me.

"I'm not hungry!" In fact, after hearing the word "fish", I remembered that Qingqing and Honghong were still at home, and I was not there, for fear that they would not make any trouble. Although before I went out, I told them well.

Zhuo Ran said: "I will go to Beijing in two days, and I don't know when I will be able to return to Hangzhou in the future." ”

"Why 'I' and not 'we'?" I asked him.

He said: "I'll go find a good house first, and you and your mother will enter Beijing half a month later." ”

"Let's go together, stay in the inn first, and then find a house." I say.

"That's fine!"

The rain had stopped, the lake was almost swimming, the boatman moored the boat, Zhuo Ran and I got off the boat, and took the newly bought umbrella into the nearest restaurant.

I asked for a few Hangzhou specialties, we tasted them quietly, and occasionally said a few words about the dishes, of course, they were all based on taste, not about the methods and ingredients of the dishes, because we didn't understand.

After the meal, we didn't linger any longer and went straight home.

As soon as I entered the gate, the first thing I saw was that our family came to me and told me that the shopkeeper of "Wei'er Xiang" was waiting for me in the side hall.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately rushed to the side hall, and when I came back, I didn't go to the store to have a look, and I didn't know what was going on in the store recently.

As soon as I entered the side hall, I hadn't seen where Hu Ping's person was, his voice had already sounded, "Dongjia, you are finally back, during the time you were not in Hangzhou, there was a big incident in the store......" (To be continued. )
