Due to the rain, Zhou Linuo proposed that it would be better to stay indoors for activities, such as the library, but Yuchen proposed to go to a studio, saying that he could take her to see something fun, Zhou Linuo unabashedly showed an expression of reluctance and resistance, she had a lot of complaints about him in her heart, because all along, everyone almost acted according to her wishes, but this Yuchen always seemed to deliberately want to go against her.

"Don't keep burying yourself in the stacks of books, are your eyesight okay?" Yuchen gestured his finger to the appearance of glasses in front of his eyes and said, "I guess you are not suitable for wearing glasses, you are already very old-fashioned and pedantic in temperament, and as soon as you wear the frames, someone will definitely call you a nerd." ”

Zhou Linuo, who was standing at the door of the unit, replied with disdain in silence, trying to open the umbrella, but her right hand was still hanging around her neck, and she couldn't open the umbrella for a long time, but there was a light sound of "bang" around her, Yuchen smiled like a cat with a pair of eyes, standing beside her holding a brown checkered long-handled umbrella, "Together?" ”

She didn't answer, still struggling to open the folding umbrella with one hand, Yuchen waited for a while with a smile, seeing her look more and more anxious, he smiled even more, and finally held his umbrella around his neck, reached over to help her open it, and without waiting for her to speak, he preemptively said, "No thanks." ”

Zhou Linuo walked into the rain, Yuchen followed behind him, and said in a flirtatious tone: "Have you ever thought that if you don't have such a face, then your personality is really annoying." ”

"Each other, each other." She glanced sideways at him, "You're not very likable, either." ”

"Then you just don't know about me." Yuchen said confidently, "I'm really likable. ”

"I don't like it." Zhou Linuo replied coldly.

Yuchen nodded and said, "That may be the biggest regret of my life." ”

"Flim Flam." The cold in her words dropped three degrees more.

"It's not just that I don't understand, it's also too deeply misunderstood." He shrugged his shoulders, took two quick steps, easily overtook Zhou Linuo, and walked towards the side of the road on his own.

Seeing him standing on the side of the road waving to the taxi, Zhou Linuo stood still and looked questioned.

"Really, it's more interesting to take you to a good place than a library." Yuchen beckoned to her, and when he saw her motionless, he raised his face, looked at her with a defiant gaze and asked, "Do you hate me, or are you afraid of me?" ”

Zhou Linuo was teased by his competitive nerves, and immediately accepted his "war letter", and walked over to meet his gaze, and it happened that a taxi was coming in the distance.

Yuchen reached over with satisfaction and motioned for her to put it away, "You can hate me, or you can be afraid of me......"

"Why should I be afraid of you?" She slipped under his umbrella and interrupted him.

"Then you're admitting that you hate me." He smiled easily, "I just want to tell you that there is no need, we grew up together, I am not your enemy, and I will not rob you of your escort place, in fact, you can take me as your comrade-in-arms, help each other, and make progress together." ”

The taxi stopped in front of the two, Yuchen stretched out his hand to open the back door, and after Zhou Linuo sat in, he sat in the front passenger seat and said to the driver, "Go to Xiaohu Mountain." "It's an ecological park about nine kilometers away from the Xingfu Nanli community.

On the way out, Yuchen kept looking ahead and didn't speak or turn back, but he occasionally confirmed Zhou Linuo's expression through the rearview mirror to see if she needed him to say or do anything, while she kept staring at the water droplets sliding on the window glass with a sideways face, and didn't speak from beginning to end, and the sealed compartment was pouring in the pouring rain, like a submarine moving forward in the deep sea.

When he arrived at the destination, Yuchen got out of the car first to open the umbrella, and then opened the door for Zhou Linuo, "There are not a few steps, you don't fight." As he spoke, he took the folding umbrella in her hand.

"Come here, it's raining so hard." Although Yuchen had tilted his umbrella to Zhou Linuo's side as much as possible, so that half of his shoulders were drenched in the rain, he still said, "Don't wet your bandage." ”

The two of them didn't walk two hundred meters in the rain, and the gate of Xiaohu Park came into view, and Yuchen bought a ticket, two yuan per person, and when they were young, it only cost five cents.

For most parents at the time, it was the norm to take their children to the park every Friday or Saturday to play badminton or play with the rides, after all, there weren't many parent-child entertainment venues in the city before the turn of the millennium.

The children of the entire Xiangzhu City have some feelings for this park, "I haven't been here for a long time......" Zhou Linuo couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't even need Yuchen to talk, so he muttered to himself, "When I was in elementary school before, for a while, my father would take me to the park every Saturday afternoon to play badminton, and on the way back, he would give me ten yuan, and I could buy whatever snacks I liked, but I used them to buy books." ”

"Oh? Isn't Auntie together? Yuchen's tone went up, obviously happy that Zhou Linuo was willing to make small talk with him.

"Only once......" Zhou Linuo stared at the mountain top in the rain and mist in the distance, and said nostalgically, "That day I had my birthday, the three of us learned to do the same in the TV series, picnic on the grass, that day I was really very happy, it may be the only day, they didn't quarrel at all, they laughed all the time, the sunshine is very good, my mother is like the kind of mother in the advertisement, a day like a dream." ”

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Yuchen seemed to be thinking about something, and responded a little perfunctorily.

Zhou Linuo realized at this moment that he was revealing his true emotions, so he stopped talking.

Yuchen did not lead Zhou Linuo to the middle avenue, but walked along a path around the only mountain in the park to the depths, and his vision was filled with green grass and trees, "Let's go to the mountain." Yuchen said, and Zhou Linuo did not see any of the roads leading to the mountain, until a path of forty or fifty stone steps appeared in front of the two of them, which was obscured by dense bushes.

"Be careful, slippery." Yuchen and Zhou Linuo walked up side by side, one of his hands floating around her waist like a semicircular guardrail, to prevent her from slipping.

His awkward posture made Zhou Linuo realize that he had not physically touched her at all, even if the space between the two was compressed to only two or three centimeters, he tried his best not to let his arms stick to her bare skin under her short sleeves.

At the end of the stairs is a flat land, and there is a small two-story building surrounded by a garden, although it is a very ordinary cement house, but because the walls are completely swallowed by creepers, it has a bit of a fairy tale atmosphere.

"Teacher Zou?" Yuchen knocked lightly on the door of the first floor, then pushed it, and the unlocked door opened with a "squeak", and he raised his feet and walked in while reminding Zhou Linuo behind him, "Look at your step." ”

It turned out to be a design with a threshold, Zhou Linuo felt novel, raised his foot and stepped over, and when he looked up again, he was pleasantly surprised by the scene in the house.

This is a large house, not separated by any walls, in the center and corner of the room there are some large and small sculptures that are being processed or have been completed, there are human figures and animals, the space is filled with the smell of sawdust is very good, Zhou Linuo felt that his cerebral cortex was gently kneaded.

"Yuchen?" A woman in a one-piece overalls poked her head out of the stairs on the second floor, she had silver hair, wore glasses, looked about fifty years old, but she was in good spirits and spoke clearly, "It's rare to see you bring a friend." ”

"Can I stay here today?" Yuchen waved at her, "I want to continue to be my little things." ”

"You can get it, be quiet." Teacher Zou waved his hand indifferently, then turned around, "I'll continue to sleep for a while." ”

"Teacher Zou is my mother's friend." "I've known her since I was in elementary school, but she only moved back in the past two years, and she used to live in Guangzhou, and then I often came over to play and learn carving with her." ”

Zhou Linuo asked strangely: "Carving?" Are you going to go to the Academy of Fine Arts? ”

"You don't have to have a purpose for learning every skill, do you? Just interested. Yuchen sat at the table, dusted off the wood chips sticking to the surface of a chair next to him with his hand, motioned for Zhou Linuo to come and sit, and then he rummaged through the messy desktop to find his toolbox, "I made something fun." ”

Zhou Linuo aimlessly flipped through the drawings on the table, which were full of design drafts, several of which had the signature of "Yuchen", and she carefully examined one of the drawings of birds.

"That's Ke Feifei." Yuchen opened a wooden box with high interest, "He's ready." ”

He took out an index finger-high wood carving and handed it to Zhou Linuo, it was a round bird with wings spread as if it was about to take off, its claws stepped on a circular base, Zhou Linuo rubbed its swollen belly, because it was polished, it felt smooth, "Cute." She smiled, then turned upside down to see the words engraved on the base, which was a word "fly".

Yuchen took out the wood carving of a tree and showed her it, and continued to introduce: "This is Liang Feng's. ”

"Well done." Zhou Linuo admired sincerely, and then raised an expectant smile and asked, "What about Yi Xuejia?" ”

So Yuchen spread out his clenched palm, and a golden retriever with a smirk on his face appeared.

"Poof-" Zhou Linuo subconsciously covered her mouth, but still laughed, she took it and looked at it very much, "It's quite similar." ”

"This is He Zixuan's." Yuchen took out a clumped bunny, which squinted and seemed to be basking in the sun.

Zhou Linuo put the golden retriever dog in his hand on the table, gently stroked the top of its head in a circle, lowered his eyes and looked like he wanted to say something, Yuchen knew what she wanted to ask, but he just hugged a pair of arms and smiled, the two of them were like competing, no one spoke first, and finally Zhou Linuo finally couldn't help but look at him, pursed his lips, and seemed to be gambling on his last breath.

Yuchen's involuntary "hum" laughter leaked out of his nostrils, and he took the initiative to explain: "It's just me and yours who haven't done it." ”

"Oh......" A trace of loss quickly drifted through Zhou Linuo's tone.

Yuchen held his chin apologetically, his fingers gently rubbed his lower lip, and he fell into a serious hesitation: "I haven't thought about carving anything for you yet." He looked up at her and asked, "What do you think you are?" Cat? Snake? Giraffe? Swan? ”

"Tiger? Lion? She replied tentatively.

"Not at all!" Yuchen laughed heartily and pressed his hands on his knees, "So you have such great expectations for yourself?" Amazing, ambitious. ”

The rain outside the window was still washing and beating the plants all over the mountains, and the sound made seemed to be many small animals shuttling indiscriminately, but Yuchen and Zhou Linuo were lucky to find the two ones in the cave to take shelter from the rain.

"Fox." Zhou Linuo glared at him dissatisfied, "You are a cunning fox. ”

"Huh?" Yuchen raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and then sighed softly, "You think too much, I don't have any scheming in front of you." ”
