41. Chapter 41
In novels and TV series, there is such a relationship between men and women, which is called ambiguous, friends are above and above, and lovers are not full.
Shanhe felt that this was probably the relationship between her and Jiangyu. Jiang Yu never confessed to her, but he was very affectionate and caring for her, just like he treated his girlfriend.
To be honest, two months ago, Shanhe never thought about what would happen to her and Jiangyu, let alone that they would develop in this direction. But now, the two have developed naturally, and this relationship has not made her feel any discomfort.
Jiang Yu has changed a lot, and she is no longer as cold as before, which she can clearly feel. Sometimes, he would smile at her, bright and warm; will also joke with her, humorous and funny. Of course, when he was working, he still looked so strict and serious. This kind of Jiangyu is undoubtedly more cute and more manly, which is enough to make her heart pound for him.
Shanhe didn't dare to narcissistically think that the reason why Jiangyu changed was all because of her, but maybe there was her factor. It is undoubtedly something to be proud of for a woman to make a man change for herself. Shanhe also has vanity, so when she looks at Jiangyu, she will have an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, which has never been felt before.
Faintly, deep down, there is a little worry and uncertainty. Do you really want to be with Jiangyu? Do you want to get along with him as a marriage partner? Will she be able to overcome the obstacles in her heart?
For Meng Wutong, she will have a little guilt.
Why do you feel guilty? Because she failed to live up to his three years of waiting and guarding?
Shanhe has no exact answer, only knows that the feelings in his heart are very complex and difficult to express. She looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up her mind.
Now that you have a heartbeat for Jiangyu, let's try it again! If Meng Wutong came back, she would take the initiative to make this matter clear to him.
Shanhe picked up the eyebrow pencil and gently traced the lead gray and elegant eyebrows, making the eyebrows look darker. Then, she applied another layer of pale pink lip gloss and sipped it. How long has it been since you've dressed up like this? It seems that since she returned to Heting three years ago, she has always been plain-faced, and she has not even applied BB cream, at most she has applied sunscreen.
After a qiÄ was ready, Shanhe took his bag and went out.
Is today her first date with Jiangyu?
Thinking of this, her steps became much lighter, and the speed of her descent down the stairs increased. Originally, as the proprietress of the hotel, she should have always gone to the store to guard, but this time the situation was special, it was the first time that Jiangyu asked her to go out alone, so after the other people in the hotel learned about it, they all let her go on a date with peace of mind and not go to the hotel again.
Shanhe went downstairs and saw Jiang Yu standing next to his domestic SUV waiting for her. He is wearing a casual short-sleeved white shirt and brown trousers today, giving him a handsome and elegant feeling. His car is not an expensive luxury car, and luxury cars are not useful in a small county like Heting, and he will stop eating as soon as he climbs the mountain road, but the SUV is very practical.
When Jiang Yu saw her come down, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he took the initiative to step forward to greet her. Today's Shanhe put on light makeup, wore a light green dress that reached her ankles, and a pair of wedge sandals on her feet, and the whole person looked slim and fresh.
Women are pleasing to themselves, which is exactly this reason.
He came to her, and the first thing he said was: "Why are you wearing high heels again, not afraid of falling to your feet?" ā
Shanhe said dissatisfiedly: "It's not because you're too tall, I stand in front of you like your daughter." ā
Jiang Yu scratched her nose, "Then you will be my daughter!" ā
Shanhe rolled his eyes, "I don't have such a young father." ā
Jiang Yu took her by the hand, took her to the side of the car, opened the door of the passenger seat, let her sit in, fastened her seat belt, and then closed the car door and went around to the other side to get into the car.
The SUV slowly drove out of the neighborhood and headed out of the city.
Shanhe looked at the scenery outside the car window and quickly retreated, and asked puzzledly, "Where are you going to take me today?" ā
Jiang Yu gave her a mysterious look and didn't tell her anything.
**
After a two-hour drive, Jiangyu drove to a small village in the middle of nowhere.
Shanhe got out of the car, looked around, and asked strangely, "What kind of place is this?" ā
"Five villages in Ping County." Jiang Yu also got out of the car, locked the car door, walked to Shanhe's side, and took her hand, "Let's go!" ā
Ping County is a county next to Heting County, and it is also a county that the Menghe Railway will pass through. Shanhe didn't understand what Jiangyu Haoduan was doing when he brought her to a village below Ping County.
The two walked along a gravel road, and after a short time, they crossed a river and saw the herringbone bridge hanging from the cliff. Both sides of the bridge are steep rock cliffs, from a distance, it looks like a mighty and domineering steel giant across the cliffs on both sides, stretching out its arms, pushing away the double ridge, magnificent.
"That's ......," Shanhe was stunned.
Jiang Yu stood beside her and said with a soft expression: "Last time Uncle Gu talked about this herringbone bridge, he saw your yearning look on his face, so he thought about when he would take you to see it." ā
Shanhe's heart was overflowing with emotion, and he couldn't say anything.
The memory seems to go back to 20 years ago, when her mother took her to the provincial capital on the meter-gauge train, and when she passed by this herringbone bridge, her mother gently asked in her ear: "Sugar Candy, do you know what this bridge is called?" ā
She asked with a confused face, "I don't know, Mom, what is this bridge called?" ā
"It's called the herringbone bridge, which was built by the French in China, and it has a history of 100 years and has witnessed a series of important historical events. The Heting Uprising in 1908, the Protectorate Uprising in 1915, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, the War of Resistance, the Aid to Vietnam to Resist France, the Aid to Vietnam to Resist the United States, the self-defense counterattack, and the opening to the outside world, all have the historical merits of this bridge! ā
She didn't understand these heavy histories that carried the vicissitudes of honor and disgrace, but asked puzzledly: "Mom, why did the French build this bridge?" ā
"Because China was very backward and weak at that time, it was bullied by the imperial powers, ceded land for compensation, and even the right to road transportation was plundered. It's the same with us, if we don't become strong, we will be bullied. ā
Mother's words still echoed in my ears for a long time, but that long-ago scene seemed to be just yesterday.
When Shanhe was young, he was ridiculed and abused more than once in school. They scolded her for being a wild seed without a father, and scolded her mother for being unmarried and pregnant, and for being a shameless woman. At first, she could only cry, but slowly, she learned to protect herself in her own way, and to maintain her and her mother's dignity in her own way.
Shanhe's eyes were slightly red, and he said a little excitedly: "Jiangyu, thank you for bringing me here today." ā
Jiang Yu looked at her with a warm gaze, "Do you want to go up the bridge to have a look?" ā
"Is that okay?" Mountains and rivers look forward to it.
"Absolutely." Jiang Yu took her by the hand and led her to a mountain road next to her.
**
The two walked for a while, and soon came to the meter-gauge railway. The narrow rails look very cute, like a child who has not grown up. However, this railway is the oldest track in China, and the sleepers and rails are covered with traces of vicissitudes.
"Would you like to walk the railroad tracks?" Jiangyu mentions yƬ.
"Okay!" Shanhe stepped onto the railroad track on the right and walked forward slowly, his hands spread out to keep his balance.
Jiang Yu also stepped on the railroad track on the left, quickly followed her footsteps, and reached out to grab her left hand.
The two looked at each other.
Shanhe lowered his head and smiled shyly, a little embarrassed.
"You can get on the herringbone bridge in front, let's go!"
"Oh."
The two held hands and walked slowly on the tracks.
Between the green hills, a railway winds its way. On the railroad tracks, a man and a woman walked hand in hand, the mountain wind hit, the branches swayed, blowing the girl's hair and skirt, from a distance, it looked like a beautiful picture, peaceful and distant, tranquil and quiet.
The two soon came to the outside of the cave where they entered the bridge, but were stopped by the bridge keepers. However, after Jiang Yu showed his identification, the bridge keeper let them in.
Shanhe was surprised, and originally wanted to visit this century-old bridge here, and there must be relevant certificates.
When the two walked through the cave, they saw a stone tablet engraved with the words "Wujiazhai Herringbone Bridge of Yunnan-Vietnam Railway".
Jiang Yu led her while walking, and said: "Wujiazhai herringbone bridge is designed by the French female engineer Bauerbertin according to the principle of mechanics, all made of steel plates, grooves, angle steel, rivets, the construction of the structure concept and the Eiffel Tower is the same, is a masterpiece in the history of the world's railway bridges." There are only two bridges in China that have been recorded in the "History of World Famous Bridges", one is the Zhaozhou Bridge and the other is the herringbone bridge. In 1998, the herringbone bridge was announced as a cultural relics protection unit in Yunnan Province, and in 2006, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. ā
"yes!" Shanhe smiled, "There are not many cultural relics and attractions that can really be left now, and many of them are rebuilt by later generations." ā
"When it comes to heritage preservation, our ancestors really didn't do a good job. Many countries in Europe still have a large number of buildings from the medieval era, and there is nothing left in China except the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. ā
Shanhe nodded and said: "What Afang Palace, Weiyang Palace, Jiankang Palace, and Daming Palace have all burned, and none of them remained, and if the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were not buried in the ground, it is estimated that they would have been gone long ago." ā
As the two of them spoke, they walked out of the cave, and their eyes suddenly brightened, and the majestic herringbone bridge was shockingly presented in front of them.
"Wow!" Shanhe shouted in surprise and ran forward.
Jiang Yu watched her fly forward like a green butterfly, and couldn't help but have a smile in her eyes.
The mountains and rivers ran to the center of the bridge, standing by the railing, with a hundred-meter abyss at their feet and rolling mountains in the distance, and a burst of heroism in their hearts. She stretched out her arms, felt the comfort of the mountain breeze, laughed twice, and suddenly opened her mouth and shouted: "Ask the vast earth, who is the lord of ups and downs?" Count the romantic characters, and look at the present day! ā
Jiang Yu had quietly come behind her, put his arms under her armpits, embedded her in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "How did you come up with the idea of using these two words together?" ā
Shanhe smiled, "I don't know, I shouted out when my heart was hot just now." I realized that this was not a sentence in a poem. But when you read it together, it seems to be okay! ā
"You're talented." As soon as he finished speaking, his lips were already printed on her cheeks.
Soft and delicate touch -
Shanhe's body stiffened, and she could feel his lips pressed against her cheek, kissing lightly. He wrapped one hand around her waist and held her face with the other, trying to turn her face around so that his lips touched hers.
Shanhe's heart beat wildly, his back pressed against his chest, and his crazy heartbeat could be felt.
Originally...... He was so nervous.
She closed her eyes slightly and turned her head slightly.
His lip flap was finally printed on her lips with unmistakable accuracy.
The moment the four lip flaps touched, it seemed that an electric current flowed out, making a burst of numb and happy happiness rise in the hearts of the two of them.
He didn't rush in, but gently sucked on her lips and outlined her lips with the tip of his tongue before pushing her teeth open and driving straight in. His hot and wet tongue swept wantonly in her mouth, as if he wanted to snatch it away, and refused to even leave her breath.
The breath of the two is intertwined, their lips and teeth are entangled, and the heat is intense.
Shanhe felt as if he was drunk, and his mouth was filled with his sweet and pure masculine breath, like drinking a glass of rich and mellow wine. His kiss went from shallow to deep, soft and slow, but with a certain strong predatory nature, bound to conquer her body and mind, and make her completely surrender to his arms.
It was a long time before he gasped and let go of her.
Shanhe's breathing was also very rapid, his cheeks were red, his eyes were intoxicated, and his body was trembling slightly.
Jiang Yu grabbed her shoulders and made her turn around, facing herself. He held her face and stared down at her deeply, "Mountains and rivers......" His voice was hoarse, and it seemed to be mixed with some kind of indescribable **.
"What?" Her eyes sparkled like an emotional kitten.
"Be my girlfriend, okay?" He bowed his head again and kissed her on the cheek, but did not invade her lips, waiting for her to give him a definite answer.
"I ......" she was about to answer, but her mobile phone rang suddenly......
