Chapter 9: The Lovers' Garden
In the city, even at eleven o'clock in the evening, the streets are still full of people and bustling, not to mention that it is not yet nine o'clock.
The night view of the city is very beautiful, under the neon lights, the crescent moon is like a hook, there are many couples walking together, or snuggling, or hugging, among which there are also many old husbands and wives, they seem to be sweetly telling the past, a better future, and some children are running around in the crowd, innocent and happy.
Walking slowly all the way, suddenly Xiao Yun leaned her head on my arm, her hair was close to my ear, and a faint fragrance wafted out, refreshing! I glanced at her hair, it was jet black and shiny, a natural and healthy color.
She suddenly brushed the sideburns next to her face with her hand, and this casual action made her look particularly cute, beautiful, and moving, which made me feel a wonderful feeling in my heart, and also made my heart flutter and beat.
"What? Do you have feelings for me? She looked up at me slightly.
"What do you say? I didn't! "I swear to die and don't admit it, thinking to myself that it couldn't have been her intention, right? Don't fall for her tricks!
"Don't lie to me, your little heart has already told me the truth, you listen!" She put her hand on my chest, "It's telling me he likes Yunyun." ”
I tried to break away from her, but she pulled her tighter.
"As I said before, you are not allowed to resist! Don't even dare to listen to me? Xiao Yun suddenly said in an aggravated tone.
"But you can't bully me like that, can you?" I asked rhetorically.
"I didn't bully you, it was your little heart that told me, it plopped around on its own, but I didn't make it beat wildly, how can I say that I bullied you?" She took her hand off my chest.
Just as I was thinking about how to reply, Xiao Yun suddenly said, "Are you hungry?" Then he mischievously stroked my belly with his hand.
"When you say that, I'm really hungry!" I responded, pulling away her hand that was caressing my belly.
"Then let's go for supper, I know that there is a street in front of me full of food stalls, and there are many stalls selling barbecue, why don't we go and eat barbecue, okay?" Xiao Yun proposed, seemingly not minding that I took her hand away.
I nodded in agreement, thinking that it had been years since I had my own barbecue, so we hurried to the food stall street.
I saw that there were many people here, and there were red tents erected all over the place, and many people were eating food stalls here, the sound of stir-frying, shouting, and the sound of beer bottles colliding "ding".
There is a choking smell of oil smoke floating in the air here, I am a little uncomfortable, especially when the oil smoke is heavier, I feel that my eyes are smoked tears, but Xiao Yun is very excited, which surprised me very much, I thought that girls don't like such a place, after all, people are noisy, right and wrong are a frequent place.
Xiao Yun and I walked to a barbecue stand.
The barbecue seller was a middle-aged strong man, I saw that he had dark skin, while constantly busy with the barbecue in his hand, while constantly wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, seeing us coming, the middle-aged strong man hurriedly said: "Two, what do you want to bake?" ”
I was a little hesitant.
"I want to see the ingredients for the barbecue!" Xiao Yun said.
"It's all here, see for yourself!" The middle-aged man pointed to the glass car next to him and said.
I took a look, and there were quite a lot of varieties in it.
"Ahh Xiao Yun suddenly screamed in surprise, turned her head and said to me happily, "There are actually a lot of things I like to eat here." ”
Then she turned her head to look at the middle-aged strong man and shouted, "Boss! The boss responded, and Xiao Yun continued: "Crispy bones, chicken wings, squid, lotus root slices, green peppers, potato strips, vegetable rolls, ten portions of tofu skewers, mutton skewers, beef skewers, twenty portions each, two portions of grilled chicken thighs, remember, put more spicy ones." ”
"Okay!" The boss happily replied and began to prepare.
"Order so much, can you eat it?" I asked, looking at her in surprise.
"Don't worry, with me, you can eat as much as you want, not to mention that I won't let you have a treat, what are you worried about?" Xiao Yun looked at me and replied disdainfully.
"I, I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish eating and wasting it!" I was a little embarrassed.
"I ask you!" Xiao Yun looked angry and funny and asked, "Have your parents been poor to support you?" ”
"You, how do you know?" I asked, a little surprised.
"It is said that daughters should be rich and sons should be poor, look at you like this, you must be used to being poor, you say, will our baby be poor or rich in the future?"
"What? Our baby? I almost jumped up in shock, "Where did we get this baby?" "I'm sweating on my forehead.
"Don't panic, I'm talking about our future baby!" Xiao Yun bent down with a smile.
After listening to her words, my heart softened a little, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that something was wrong, and I said to myself: "Our baby? What our baby? I suddenly figured it out, turned my head to look at her in surprise, and said, "You don't mean the baby we gave birth to, right?" ”
She suddenly stopped smiling, and her face returned to her usual serious expression, "You can shut up, you are embarrassed to say such a shameful thing, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, I am terrible and ashamed." ”
She spoke in such a way that I was overwhelmed.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man who sold barbecue said: "Listening to your conversation, I feel that you are really an interesting little couple, the situation has changed several times between the words, young man, this little girl treats you well, you have to cherish her!" ”
I thought to myself that Xiao Yun and I are just friends, at most good friends, how can we say that we are a little couple?
"I, we~" I was anxious to explain the relationship between me and Xiao Yun to the middle-aged man, but I didn't know how to explain it in a hurry.
"Shut up! If you don't speak, you'll suffocate! I know what you're trying to say, but I'm not allowed to say it! Xiao Yun looked at me and said.
I held back for a long time, and I didn't know how to speak, so I had to sulk and stop talking.
After a while, the barbecue was ready, and the middle-aged strong man packed it in two large white plastic bags and handed it to me, which I felt heavy in my hands.
Xiao Yun picked up two skewers of mutton from the bag, handed one to me, and ate the other by himself, I was angry and didn't eat it.
"Alright! Stingy, I'll feed you, count me as making amends to you! She said with a sudden smile.
Her smile was so beautiful, I couldn't help but look a little stunned, until I felt the spicy taste of the lamb skewers, I came back to my senses, only to find that I had already eaten half of the lamb skewers, and since I had already eaten half of them, I was embarrassed to refuse again, so I had to eat the other half too.
Xiao Yun and I ate while walking like this, don't look at such a small skewer in my hand and have no weight, every time I finish eating a skewer, I feel that my mouth can breathe fire.
"It's spicy!" I repeat this word all the time.
"It's spicy, it's enjoyable! It's not spicy, so what's the strength of eating? Whenever I said that it was spicy, Xiao Yun would echo me with this sentence and encourage me to continue eating.
I thought to myself: A girl can eat such a spicy thing, is it impossible to beat it with iron?
In a short time, we ate almost a third of the two bags of barbecue.
"Are you tired?" Xiao Yun suddenly asked me.
"It seems to be a little, I feel a little numb when I walk!" I responded.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" She blamed me a little, "Let's go sit in the garden next to us for a while!" She pointed to the side with her hand, and I turned my head to see that there was indeed a large garden, and even at night, I could feel the flowers hugging her, which was very beautiful, and there were many couples strolling in it.
"Alright! Let's take a break here. I nodded in response.
So I walked into the garden with Xiao Yun, the garden was fragrant, the fragrance of roses was refreshing, among the flowers, I looked at Xiao Yun who walked in front of me, and suddenly had an inexplicable impulse, but I quickly suppressed this impulse again.
Xiao Yun walked to an open-air stone.
"Let's rest here!" She pointed to a stone and said to me. In fact, my feet have long been numb, I really don't know how Xiao Yun survived? When I saw the stone, I quickly sat up, and Xiao Yun also sat down close to me, and then leaned over on my knees.
"I'm so tired!" She said with some relief: "Is the night sky beautiful tonight?" ”
I looked up at the sky, a crescent moon, and stars.
"It's beautiful!" I said in admiration.
"Tell me about it, okay?" She whispered.
I paused, looked at the starry sky and said, "A crescent moon, starry stars, the stars in the sky blink like your big beautiful eyes, so cute!" ”
"You're so bad!" Xiao Yun spoke in a much lower tone than before, I wanted to say more, but when I looked down, I found that Xiao Yun was closing her eyes and was about to fall asleep.
I watched her silently, feeling the fragrance in the air and the rhythm of her even breathing, and experiencing the feeling of my heart beating slightly, only to come back to my senses for a long time, only to find that Xiao Yun had fallen asleep on my lap.
"Xiao Yun, wake up quickly!" I shook her arm gently, "I'm going to freeze if I sleep again!" ”
Under my gentle shaking, Xiao Yun opened her eyes slightly.
"Can't sleep anymore!" I added.
"Can you carry me back? I was so sleepy that I didn't want to move at all. She closed her eyes, and no matter how much I swayed, she stopped opening her eyes and talking.
I thought to myself that I was really unlucky today, looking at this situation, I can't go back without carrying her?
I tried to straighten up, carefully carried her on my back, fortunately she was not heavy, otherwise I would not be able to carry it, I carried her step by step back, she was really asleep, lying on my back, did not speak all the way, has been asleep, I don't know what sweet dreams she had, drooling my neck full of saliva.
When I came back, I found the key to her door from her bag, and after opening the door, I fumbled for a while before I found the switch of the light, and when the light turned on, I put her on the bed lightly, and saw that she still didn't mean to wake up, so I had to take off her shoes on her feet, untie the hairband tied in a ponytail, and then cover her with a quilt.
After doing all this, I looked at her carefully, and found that she was really beautiful, with fair skin, delicate skin, beautiful complexion, and a light spirit, perhaps because she was asleep, she looked extraordinarily naturally beautiful.
Seeing her lying quietly on the bed, sleeping so sweetly, I couldn't bear to disturb her, I stood up and looked around the room, and found that the house was cleaned clean, and all kinds of items were placed neatly, I really didn't expect that a little girl like her usual domineering was still a very clean, tidy-up, and delicate person, if I didn't see it with my own eyes today, it was really unbelievable.
Then I turned off the light, gently closed the door, and went back to the room where the senior was staying, and found the senior sitting on the bed reading a book.
"Senior, aren't you asleep?" I said in surprise.
"Stinky boy, don't look at what time it is, I've already woken up." He looked up at me and said.
I glanced at the clock and said, "It's almost half past eleven!" I shouted out in surprise, no wonder Xiao Yun would be tired and didn't want to move, she worked all day during the day, and walked so many miles at night, it's strange that she is not tired? I suddenly felt a little distressed about Xiao Yun.
The senior continued, "You know that too? I thought you stinky boy ran away, where did you go at night? Didn't come back until now? ”
"No! I just went out shopping. I responded.
"Shopping? You kid also run shopping? The senior seemed to be a little unconvinced by my words, "The sun is coming out in the west, so what are you going to tonight?" ”
"I went shopping, had a barbecue, and went to a big garden with lots of flowers!" I quickly said, "And I see quite a few couples walking inside!" ”
The senior touched his chin suspiciously, "Hearing you say that, your kid really went shopping, and he also went to the couple's garden in North City." ”
"What? A couple's garden? I asked, confused.
"You just arrived, of course you don't know, there used to be an unknown garden in Beishi, and I don't know which couple was the first to discover this feng shui treasure, ran in to talk about love, and then the little couples ran there to date, and more and more people went, and then this garden was named the couple's garden, symbolizing that the couples who came here will tie the knot forever and spend the full moon!"
Listening to the introduction of the senior, I seem to understand Xiao Yun's good intentions!
Then the door opened, and I thought to myself, who would be back so late? Won't it be?
I hesitated and walked over to open the door, trying to see what was going on outside under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
I saw a man walk in, not tall, dark-skinned, presumably a man who had been working outdoors a lot, and his dark skin must have been formed by the sun.
"Hello!" I said hello to him.
"Hello!" He responded with a smile.
Then he opened the door opposite and walked in, I guess this could be what Du Ling said today, her boyfriend.
I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, I heard the sound of laughter coming from Du Ling's room, I walked into the room, closed the door gently, and then sat next to the senior and asked, "Senior, that one just now is Du Ling's boyfriend, right?" ”
The senior pretended to look at me suspiciously, and said softly, "You also know Du Ling?" ”
I thought to myself, senior, you really know how to pretend, didn't Du Ling tell you before? You still deliberately asked me that, could it be that you want to knock me on the side?
"Yes, we met at noon today." I responded.
"Oh, it's his boyfriend!" He looked at me and said, then looked up at me in confusion and asked, "Why are you asking this?" Does this have anything to do with you? ”
"It doesn't matter, I'm just curious to ask, everyone lives in the same room, it's a kind of fate!" I said.
"Fate?" The senior snorted softly, and then continued: "I'm afraid that some people are destined to have no part!"
"Oh? What do you mean by that? I asked, surprised.
"You still have too little experience, and when you experience more, you will naturally understand!" The senior said leisurely.
"The senior's words are very philosophical, it seems that I really still have a lot of things to learn and experience!" I sighed.
"Don't sigh, everyone will have a growth experience, and many things are slowly honed and grown up in this experience!" The senior said meaningfully.
"What the senior said is very reasonable, and I have gained a lot of insight today!" I said with a smile.
"Alright! It's not too early, so let's rest early! The senior put the book in his hand under the pillow and lay down on the bed.
I looked at my watch, and it was exactly twelve o'clock at night, and I climbed to the top bunk of the wire bed, then turned off the lights and lay down!
Lying on the bed, I heard the senior sighing in the lower bunk, although I don't know why the senior sighed, but I can feel the pain in the senior's heart, poor senior, I don't know how many times you have experienced such days? Should I think you're happy, or should I think you're unhappy?
In the silence of the night, it seems like everyone needs to go through such a feeling.
