Walking out of the store, Gao Xu slowly walked back with Xiaowan. This place belongs to a relatively prosperous area, the traffic is a bit chaotic, and the streets are full of motorcycles.

So Xiao Wan walked against the wall on the side of the road, and Gao Xu took the initiative to walk outside. The roar of motormotors, horns, and the noise of people, a gray concrete wall of a bit old, with messy wires on top. This situation and this scene set off Xiaowan more vividly and beautifully, as if she was a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. And it's not just Gao Xu who looks at her like this, but some people who pass by on motorcycles wearing masks also keep turning their heads sideways.

"Already promised someone else?" Xiao Wan suddenly looked up at him.

Gao Xu didn't react: "What? ”

Xiao Wan didn't explain, and pointed to the new mobile phone package he was carrying, "Will you come back at night?" ”

Gao Xu was stunned and said, "What do you think?" Of course I have to come back, I have to come back very early. She has to go to work late in the afternoon, maybe an hour or two back and forth. ”

Xiao Wan nodded.

The two returned to the hotel, and Gao Xu went upstairs again, rested in the room and prepared. As soon as I finished lunch, Xiao Ruan called, she said that it was not good for Amei to see it, and asked Gao Xu to go out and turn right, and walk dozens of steps to the corner of the street.

Gao Xu followed her instructions and went out to the place. He was looking back left and right when he heard someone shouting, "Brother Agang." ”

That's when he spotted Xiao Ruan, riding on a motorbike with a helmet on his head. But she was wearing the traditional costume, a long skirt with a high fork and soft trousers underneath, and the material was very light. The combination of tradition and modernity is a bit of a novelty.

Gao Xu walked over and handed over the exquisite paper bag in his hand: "I bought some gifts for Sister Ling." ”

Xiao Ruan's eyes lit up when she saw the icon on the paper bag, and when she took out the cardboard box of the new mobile phone from the bag, her face was already flushed with excitement, "New mobile phone, White Rabbit brand?" ”

Gao Xu said calmly: "You take me on a bicycle?" ”

As if he hadn't heard, Xiao Ruan couldn't put it down and looked at the phone inside carefully, and then opened his mouth in surprise, "You saw my phone broken last night." ”

Gao Xu nodded and said, "I had nothing to do shopping in the morning, I thought of it temporarily." I haven't thanked you for helping me with my laundry, friends, helping each other. ”

Xiao Ruan took the box and covered his face and said coquettishly: "Brother Ah Gang is so careful and warm-hearted, my heart is happy." ”

"I chose red, do you like this color?" Gao Xu said casually.

Xiao Ruan nodded vigorously and said, "I like red the most." ”

Gao Xu was about to get into the car, and Xiao Ruan handed over a helmet. He put it on before sitting in the back, then grabbed the shelf behind him with his backhand, a little nervous. There are very few people riding motorcycles in Daming, and it is estimated that Gao Xu is not the only one who is not used to it.

She had been driving down the street for a long time on her motorcycle, and her ears were red, and she didn't seem to have calmed down from the surprise. Gradually, there were fewer motorcycles and pedestrians on the road.

At this time, she turned her head and said, "Brother Agang, don't sit so far, you can hold my waist." After a moment she added, "It's unsteady to sit away." ”

Gao Xu moved closer, pressed against her back, and then carefully placed a hand on her waist. The traditional clothes she wore were very soft, with high slits on both sides, which were a little different from the ones worn by Chen Xianzhen hundreds of years ago, so when Gao Xu put his hand on it, he actually touched the soft skin of her waist directly from the place where the slit was.

The long hair that floated out from under her helmet smelled of shampoo in the wind, and Gao Xu's heart beat a little fast for a while. Xiao Ruan may have quickly noticed the change in his body, and his cheeks turned even redder. Gao Xu also felt that his concentration was insufficient, but he was faintly relieved that he was quite healthy.

After a while, Xiao Ruan drove more slowly, and said: "The men of the Ming Kingdom are very boring, and they are also very indifferent when they see girls. ”

Gao Xu said: "Really? I do not know. ”

Xiao Ruan said again: "But you are cold on the outside and hot on the inside. As long as the girl takes the initiative to talk to you, you are more enthusiastic than anyone else. But there are some things, how can girls be embarrassed to take the initiative? ”

Gao Xu thought for a while and said, "It seems to be quite accurate. ”

The two of them rode their motorcycles and arrived at a shop first. Xiao Ruan wants to buy some food for her grandmother.

After she walked out of the store, Gao Xu also cooperated and sat back in the back. She handed over a small bag of snacks, pointed to the motorcycle and said, "Liangju brand is also a car imported from Mingguo." ”

Gao Xu said: "Is this car good?" ”

Xiao Ruan said: "It is particularly strong and durable, and the performance is also very good, but it is expensive." I can't afford it now, so I asked a friend to borrow it today. ”

Gao Xu asked casually, "How much." ”

Xiao Ruan said: "It costs more than 10 million yuan (more than 1,000 yuan in Daming money)." But I have a job and can buy it in installments now. ”

Gao Xu said: "That's good. ”

He didn't say much, let alone promise. The original habit is difficult to change for a while; In the past, of course, he would not easily promise others, after all, Chrysostom Yuyan. Like the mobile phone I gave today, in fact, he thought about it last night, but he didn't say it at the time, and he bought it directly today.

The two continued to ride motorcycles on the road, and after at least half an hour, they finally arrived at Xiao Ruan's hometown along the narrow cement uphill road. Her house was very shabby, and a few unkempt children came up to watch and get some snacks. There were only old people and children nearby, but no young people.

Xiao Ruan put the food he bought in the house and gave the old woman some money. The old woman was going to make food to entertain them.

But Gao Xu found a problem, Xiao Ruan called this old woman "Auntie" in Annam, as if it was not her grandmother. Because Gao Xu had just traveled to Annan, she probably didn't know that Gao Xu could understand some simple Annan dialect. And Gao Xu previously led troops to recruit the Hu Clan and stayed in Annan for a long time, of course, she is even more unlikely to know.

Gao Xu was reluctant to say it, so as not to be embarrassed, just know it in his heart. Looking at this Xiao Ruan much whiter than the villagers, it is estimated that her real hometown should be in which town, it should also be poorer, but it is not so exaggerated.

Xiao Ruan accompanied him and wandered along the nearby hillside road. When the two of them were looking for a place to sit, she carefully unpacked her phone and began to play with her new phone with great interest. She made various poses and expressions to take pictures and videos, and there was her bell-like laughter on the hillside. Sometimes when she laughs, she will snuggle up to Gao Xu, so that Gao Xu can feel her youthful fragrance.

Although it is a sale, the fresh air, the quiet mountains, and the little beauties are still very cost-effective. Gao Xu even guessed that even if he wanted to do something further, Xiao Ruan would not refuse. He himself was unwilling to be tempted, and he couldn't blame others.

After playing for a while, the two went back to eat the noodles made by "grandma". While eating with him, Xiao Ruan said that she also has two younger sisters and a younger brother who are studying, and her parents are both working in the factory, so she has no spare energy to take care of her grandmother. She would work hard and earn money every month to buy good food for her grandmother and new clothes for her younger siblings. She hopes that her family will change their lives of poverty a little. Gao Xu listened carefully, but of course he didn't believe it. It's just that Xiao Ruan doesn't know, he doesn't believe it.

Even when he was about to leave, Gao Xu took out a fifty yuan bill of the Ming Kingdom and gave it to the old woman. Xiao Ruan's monthly salary is less than 200 yuan (also for work, but Gao Xu's salary is more than 25 times that of her), so it is not less.

After eating the noodles, the two said goodbye to the grandmother and rode back to Thang Long on a motorcycle, because Xiao Ruan was about to go to work.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Gao Xu received a call from Xiaowan. My former colleague Zhang Er recommended me to come here for a vacation, and it was really good, and it was easy for a young girl to get acquainted. It's just that this beauty of the Ming Kingdom makes Gao Xu feel a little difficult to understand.

Xiao Wan's voice said, "You're back?" ”

Gao Xu said: "Just arrived." Thank you for your concern. ”

Xiaowan: "I'm too lazy to care about you." But I want to go to the ancient street at night, and I'm a little worried, I happen to know you as a compatriot. Are you free? ”

Gao Xu was silent for a moment.

Xiao Wan's voice said again: "The ancient street is beautiful only when you go at night, and there is nothing to see during the day." It's hot here, and it's even more lively at night. If you don't want to go, forget it, I'll go by myself. ”

Gao Xu hurriedly said: "What are you a girl wandering around at night?" I'll go with you. ”

There was a burst of laughter on the phone, and then she said, "I'll see you in the hall in a moment." ”

Gao Xu washed his face, tidied up a little, and then closed the door and went downstairs. When I met Xiaowan, she was still wearing the purple and black blended dress she wore in the morning, but her shoes were replaced by white sneakers and a burgundy coat on her upper body, perhaps because the temperature would drop at night.

They are all foreigners here, there are no motorcycles, and the ancient street is not too far away, so they have to walk there.

Xiaowan is also a young girl, probably a little younger than Ruan Ling. But her personality is not so enthusiastic, before the acquaintance, she seemed very cold and unapproachable, now it is much better, but her mentality is obviously calmer. So sometimes when the two of them didn't speak, Gao Xu also felt very natural, and he was not afraid of snubbing her or looking too stuffy.

"Where do you work?" Xiao Wan took the initiative to ask.

Gao Xu said truthfully: "Foreign Trade Department of Tiansu Group. Are you a student? ”

Xiao Wan nodded and said, "I just went to college, the history department of Jinling University." ”

Gao Xu pondered for a while, and he didn't know if it was polite to ask a woman about her age and whether it was polite in this era, so he said, "Then you should be an adult?" ”

Xiao Wan said generously: "This year is seventeen, and my birthday is the second half of the year." ”

Gao Xu said: "It seems that this time is not a holiday. ”

Xiao Wan smiled: "I'm absent from class." ”

Gao Xu said again: "Walk so far to play, pay attention to safety." ”

Xiao Wan smiled: "You really talk like an elder." ”

Gao Xu said helplessly: "Okay, don't say that." ”

Xiao Wan covered her mouth lightly and said, "But it makes people feel very stable." ”

The lights around are becoming more and more dazzling, the two of them walked quietly, Xiao Wan raised her head, her hair fluttered lightly, she closed her eyes and took a breath in the night breeze, revealing a pleasant expression.

When she came back to her senses and turned her head to look, she found that Gao Xu was silently admiring her. She laughed a little, the meaning was a little complicated and confusing.
