The night sky is a deep blue, but the lights in the hall are bright

The whole restaurant was empty, and a couple of men and women sat at the middle table, which was very restrained and did not have the slightest sense of romance

Ye Yu sighed and glanced at his high school classmate in front of him again, Su Xiaoqiao

She was wearing a good look today, a long black dress and a suitable shawl, which was completely different from the original youthful appearance. Time is passing, Ye Yu has changed a lot, and she has also changed a lot

"I heard that you dropped out of Fudan University," Ye Yu said softly, "Is it a family problem?" ”

Su Xiaoqiao bit her lip and didn't speak

No one can understand the huge sense of subversion in her heart, when Ye Yu, who was poor and white, has become a person who can change the fate of her family with a single sentence, her feelings for him are as fragile as a bubble, plus the strangeness that she hasn't seen for more than a year, God, even though her always generous personality is really restrained at the moment

Ye Yu could probably understand the mood of the girl in front of him, and he didn't care about her silent attitude, "If it's a family matter, I think you might be able to have a better life."

"A better life?" Su Xiaoqiao cut a piece of steak into his mouth and snorted unconsciously

Ye Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "What do you think?" ”

Su Xiaoqiao was silent for a while, and waited until he swallowed the meat in his mouth and stared at Ye Yu for a while before saying, "I thought you understood."

Ye Yu smiled, "I think I should know that it is indeed a bit hard for you to be in charge of your father's mineral group at your age" as he spoke, looking Su Xiaoqiao up and down

"You wouldn't have liked this before, if you're still the same now."

Su Xiaoqiao put down the tableware, stared at Ye Yu and said slowly, "Whether it was me before or me now, I have never let you, the eldest young master of the Ye family, be moved, right?" No matter what I do, you never look at me, do you? ”

This is the most daring sentence she said today, and it is also the word she wants to say the most in her heart

Ye Yu exhaled and thought for a moment, "No, you're a good girl~"

"Are you issuing cards if you don't agree with each other?"

"Don't interrupt!" Ye Yu said helplessly

"Uh... Okay," Su Xiaoqiao nodded obediently

"Actually, this family business" Ye Yu slowed down, "I accept this family business, so you don't have to think about anything"

"What do you think about?" Su Xiaoqiao inexplicably followed his words, and immediately reacted

"Accept ?!!"

Ye Yu nodded, and spread his hands helplessly, "Actually, if I insist, I can find another family, but because the object is you, I don't want to find another stranger, so I accept"

"It seems to dislike me" Su Xiaoqiao pursed her lips, and the familiar tsundere feelings re-possessed

"Amount"

"So I'm the Ye family's wife-to-be?" Su Xiaoqiao blinked

"Amount"

"So, compared to Liu Miaomiao now, I always win?"

"Eh" Ye Yu's face was black, and he still couldn't hold back after all, "What are you comparing to Miao Miao?"

"Hmph" Su Xiaoqiao turned his head and didn't look at Ye Yu, "Say, my prospective fiancé, how many juniors will I encounter?" ”

"Eh" Ye Yu slowly broke out in a cold sweat, when did she become a wife?

So this blind date ended perfectly under the constant interrogation of the resentful Su Xiaoqiao, and before leaving, Su Xiaoqiao's meaningful eyes made Ye Yu nervous for a long time

However, after all, Su Xiaoqiao knew that this was also a rule that the Ye family acquiesced to, just like it is an unspoken rule that the Japanese family has more than a dozen lovers at the same time, she has seen a lot of this kind of thing in the big family, so she can also do it without care

Although her relationship with him is not as deep as imagined

This is Su Xiaoqiao's only regret, and maybe another reason why she doesn't care

-------------- my ------------- is ---------------- -------------- cut the --------------- line-------------------

In Eastern Siberia, lush red pine forests wind along the slopes of the mountains, and the waters adjacent to it are vast and ocean-like, which is Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world, which the ancient Chinese called 'Beihai', and the Mongolians called it 'Dalai Noor', which means 'sea-like lake'.

The night was so quiet that only the sound of the wind outside the tents and the whisper of pine branches popping in the fire, surrounded by a dozen or so dilapidated 'Jill' trucks

This is a very old model, a military vehicle of the Soviet era, and now there is no place to find spare parts, and if you want to drive this car, you must first be a skilled mechanic.

It was a makeshift camp for Gypsies, known in Russian as the Tsgans, who roamed between remote towns and cities, living in no fixed place, seemingly consciously or unconsciously, avoiding the census or something, and isolating themselves from the "sedentary humans." Among them are handmade coppersmiths from Romania, skilled car repairers, and more famous jugglers and dancing girls, and divination is also one of the main crafts of mixed rice.

"It is said that there are still millions of people in the world." Susie lay on the marching bed and tapped on her notebook, "There's no place willing to take them in?" Or do they just refuse to settle down? ”

"It's like Chu Zihang." Nuno lay on his marching bed, sorting out the pieces of paper, making notes, and talking casually

"Why like him?" Susie was stunned and took off her black plastic-rimmed glasses

"It is said that there is still a handsome guy named Chu Zihang in the world." Nuno chewed on potato chips, "Do you mean that there are no girls who love him?" Or does he not like women at all? ”

Susie didn't want to grab the pillow and threw it at Nono, who didn't look at the volley and grabbed it, and put it under her pillow, "I just like the high point of the pad, thank you." ”

"I think the people of Tsingon are really like us." Susie said, "Do you remember what my uncle said, 'A lonely Cigan is nothing, only in a group of Cigan people, the Cigan people are Cigans?' "If we don't come together, will we know our lineage? Then we weren't dragons, we just felt weird and out of place in the crowd

"Miss, don't be sentimental, let's get down to business, the title of the paper is "Preliminary Research on the Society of the Cigang People", okay? Or "Analysis of the Social Structure of the Tsigan People"? Nono stopped

"Let's do preliminary research, I've been running for more than half a month, but it's really far from knowing them to be able to analyze them." Susie stretched, "Speaking of which, I really didn't expect them to be so able to run, I've apologized for two thousand kilometers in ten days, I knew that I wouldn't choose this topic, I'd rather go to Africa to investigate headhunters, although they like to hide in the woods to hunt people's heads, but at least they won't be so tired!" ”

"The people of Tsgang are Gypsies, and Gypsies who do not migrate are not Gypsies." Nono tossed his phone and played, his eyes followed it up and down, "Those professors have long known that these Tsgangites must have passed near Lake Baikal before they proposed to study them as a subject, eight hundred kilometers away from here, is the epicenter of the Tunguska explosion, for more than a hundred years, whether it is the secret party or the academy, they have never given up monitoring this area. Can you unleash the 'spirit of words?' Rhine's people are strong enough to compare with the Dragon King, but the academy doesn't have his information, so how can the academy be willing? ”

"Well, why do you keep playing with your phone? You've been playing all night. ”

"I found a mobile phone signal, and I was thinking about whether to send a birthday text message to Lu Mingfei."

"Today is almost over, I thought you forgot that today is Lu Mingfei's birthday."

"I won't forget that when everyone in the academy has a birthday, Norma will make hints in her daily tasks. Aren't you doing your daily routine? ”

"My birthday text message to Lu Mingfei should have been sent in the past, I set up an SMS mailbox, and it will automatically send a text message to Lu Mingfei today. Anyway, it's also the person who once gave me a shot, the only 'S' class in the Kassel Academy, and he won't receive a few birthday text messages today, right? But ······" Susie paused, narrowed her eyes, and showed a teasing smile, "He's looking forward to the one you sent the most, right?" ”

"I know, but I'm a little hesitant." Nono said lazily

"You don't know he likes you, do you?"

"Do I look that stupid?" Nonobi grimaced, "I've been in love since kindergarten!" ”

"Kindergarten?"

"I am the royal sister of the royal sisters, I once stood on the podium of the kindergarten class, pointed to all the little boys in the audience and announced, from today onwards, you are all my boyfriends, you have to listen to me, and those who are disobedient will be expelled from the team!" Nono sat up from the camp bed, smiled and showed her beautiful teeth, the sterling silver four-leaf clover pendant in her ear swaying

"The royal sisters all evolved from Lori.,Say.,When you were still Lori, you had a crush on that uncle"

"Why do Lori have to be with uncle, you're a pervert, right?"

"Hahaha,Because I have an uncle next to you Lori,I think it's very harmonious"

The inexplicable Nono was silent for a moment, unconsciously recalling the embarrassing memory of suddenly diving into the water to lure the person behind him when he was a little kid

And the blood-colored gem was still lying in his bag

Susie looked at Nuno in surprise and was silent for a while, and said a little tentatively, "Did you really meet a perverted uncle Lolicon when you were a child?" ”

"you, you've just met someone like this, I'm just a little sleepy" Nuo Nuo waved his hand, but he felt that maybe that guy was really a lolita at the beginning

On the other side of the earth, Ye Yu sneezed and rubbed his nose

"Then what are you hesitating about," Susie turned the subject to the question at the moment, "is it because of Caesar?" Or still~"

"What's the matter with Caesar?" Nono said a little strangely

"Didn't Caesar chase you for a year?" Susie was a little surprised, "Could it be that you really have a feeling with that Senior Brother Ye Yu?" No, you'll have a time when the old cow eats the grass."

"It's not certain who the young grass is, hum" Nono narrowed his eyes, like a crescent moon

"However, it seems that another young grass Lu Mingfei really has a feeling for your old cow," Susie shrugged

"I can't help this" Nuo Nuo pursed his lips, "I have always regarded him as a junior and disciple, but if Chu Zihang pursues me again~"

I guess the bastard's face will have a rich expression, Nono thought to himself

"Chu Zihang won't like you, he doesn't like anyone." Susie closed her notebook.

Nono pulled one of the two pillows stacked together and handed it to Susie, who took it and casually said thank you

"Ah, just thank you for that?" Nono narrowed his eyes

"Don't thank you for still paying? It was supposed to be my pillow. Susie was puzzled

"I am providing a pillow to the eldest sister to head you, and then when you roar angrily and say, "With your little girl's skin, you also want to seduce my family's Chu Zihang", there is something that can be used to beat me. Nono stuck out his tongue

"Oh," Susie nodded calmly, "Isn't there enough pillow, didn't you see me close my notebook?" This thing is lethal enough! ”

She jumped to her feet and jumped onto Nono's marching bed with her notebook in her arms······ Scratch Nono's waist.

"Help, help, uncle, don't dare next time, if you want to push it down, just push it down, but don't tickle it." Nono dodges left and right

The two girls giggled and rolled as they laughed, and the camp bed shook and gurgled

······

The sound of the wind blowing the pine trees suddenly came the light drumbeat, like some small chamber band not far away, the wind direction changed, and the sound brought by it became clearer and clearer, the "click" of the shaker, the "thump" of the tambourine, and the long singing.

"It must be those Tsingon people who lit a bonfire again!" Nono flipped up, "Look at it!" ”

"You chose the Tsgangs to study this topic because you like to go crazy with them, right? I'll give you a gypsy dress, and you can go on a run with them. Susie laughed, "You're like a little witch anyway." ”

"We still have two bottles left! Bring it with them to drink so you can eat their barbecue. Nono pulled out two bottles of red-label vodka in his backpack and held one in one hand, feeling refreshed.

"Don't you still have to text Lu Mingfei?"

"Besides, let's talk about it, that stupid person, it would be misunderstood to send him a text message every day, right?" Nono grimaced, "If you don't send him, you won't die." ”

"Well, he won't die if he can't receive text messages, but it seems that if you don't find something to play with at night, you will suffocate to death." Susie said.

"What's the content of your text message?" Nono asked suddenly.

"What's wrong with the words 'Happy Birthday'?"

"I was idle and bored the other day, so I recorded a birthday song in my notebook······" Nono stuck out his tongue, "Happy birthday to you, Ricardo, Happy birthday, Ricardo, Ricardo······"

"No wonder you hesitate to post it, this kind of thing will undoubtedly be misunderstood, right?" Susie covered her face

"It's really just boring to record a fun ······"

The red pine forest at night is dark green, undulating along the mountain, and anyone who has not been to the shore of Lake Baikal can not imagine the beauty of the red pine forest, it is an ocean, it is tender green in spring, dark green in summer, and in autumn it turns from green to golden yellow to brown from near and far, and the sun shines on the branches as soft as a girl's fingers

Imagine a sea of girl's fingers, waving in the wind, always making people silent and feeling small

The surface of Lake Baikal is quiet, and flocks of peacebirds, alarmed, fly from the shore and cross the sky

The uncle who led the way laid down a bottle of vodka by the campfire, picked up a guitar, and played gorgeous chords with his fat fingers, which was the beginning of the Tsgangan prom

For the people of Tsigan, there is no need for a prom, campfires, alcohol, guitars, and dancing girls are all there is, and since the night is quiet and long, there is nothing to do, so why not dance?

The tambourine sounded, and the girl in the white dress stepped out of the tent with her steps, winning full applause, and with the powerful rhythm of the tambourine, the girl twirled, and the long tassel on her chest and the long skirt of the folds flew like a flower in full bloom.

The slender and condensed forearms flow with gold-like brilliance, the wrist flip is gracefully reminiscent of Dunhuang murals, and the heel of the shoe is as powerful as a Spanish bull ready to charge at the matador

Flamenco, which is both a Spanish and gypsy dance

Gypsies say flamenco is in their blood

The Spaniards say that when you do this dance, it's like stepping the world under your feet

In castanets, anything is possible

In the dancer's long crimson hair, there is a white flower as big as a bowl, and the white flower that blooms to the extreme seems to wither and flutter from the flowing hair at any moment

"You really know how to dance flamenco!" Susie was bouncing around her, everyone was up and dancing, and the uncle was holding his guitar and bottle aloft

"I've studied for a year and a half!" Nono's face was flushed with excitement and dancing, and some of it was the effect of alcohol, because of some stage fright, and she secretly drank a glass before coming out

"Cheers! Madder! Uncle handed the bottle to Susie

Susie and Uncle went to drink from the bottle one by one, and Nono stopped dancing and quietly retreated out of the crowd. Several young Tsingon boys wanted to invite her to dance, but Nono waved her hand and refused. She was a little out of breath when she learned this kind of dance, she was always in the practice room with a wooden floor, but she never danced on the gravel floor in high heels.

So the Tsigan boys went on to invite others, and there was no need to pester the beautiful dancers, which were often held in the camps of the Tsigan people, and could be invited tomorrow. Nono moved his wrist to the edge of the lake, looking out at the silent surface of the lake, the water was as deep blue as the sky, and the distance was impenetrable black.

She took a few deep breaths against the wind coming out of the lake, trying to exhale the breath that was holding in her chest.

In the past two days, she has not been in a good state, so she will be a little dizzy after dancing for a while. She didn't tell Susie, otherwise Susie would definitely force her to take her blood pressure and temperature, Susie is such a big sister-like person, used to taking care of everyone.

Nono felt that he was fine, just a little tired, nervous breakdown or something, he didn't sleep well at night, and he dreamed easily.

After the Three Gorges underwater coma, she often dreamed, and the doctor said that it was because she had been underwater for too long, and the small sequelae caused by cerebral ischemia would slowly heal.

Nono is not afraid of dreaming, she used to dream too, and she had all kinds of dreams. But it would be very bad if one always had the same dream, that dream had no plot, only one ······ Deep blue

You may have dreamed of being chased by monsters or ghosts running in endless corridors, returning to the same place every time, you have used all your strength, but you can't shake off even one step of what is behind, it seems that this wild run will last forever, you may also have had a particularly real dream, in the dream your mind is very clear, every detail is vivid, only a few small differences

For example, you yourself are dead, dead in your own dreams, or you have had layers of nested nightmares, and every time you try to wake yourself up in the dream, you wake up gasping for breath, thinking that you are haunted by the nightmare, but you find that you are still in the dream

It's all bad dreams, but it's not as good as a dream without any plot

The dream was just an almost black blue, as if she was in the deep sea of several hundred meters, the water was flowing, ripples were projected on her face, no one or anything tried to approach her or hurt her, only the time was infinitely long, dead silence, and she couldn't even hear her own heartbeat.

Occasionally, she could hear voices, and those voices were far, far away, and people were shaking, like you were looking up at the sky underwater and listening to people.

She tried her best to swim towards the people, but she couldn't move, she floated quietly, and the figures leaned over to her and shouted at her from a few hundred meters of water, with sad faces······ It's like lying quietly in a coffin, watching relatives and friends outside through the glass window say goodbye to you

With your toes, you can understand that this has something to do with the underwater accident, but Nono feels that the accident did not leave any psychological trauma on him.

She quickly lost consciousness after being injured, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Yu lying next to her who was already unconscious, and she was not afraid of diving, she could eat and sleep, but she always dreamed

She likes to dance with these people at night because she might be able to sleep better when she is tired, or at least let her dream of dancing

Susie grabbed Nono's hand from the side, looked at her pale and sweaty face, and was a little surprised, "Are you okay?" Your face is wrong? ”

"It's okay······ A little dizzy. She stared blankly at the campfire

The uncle added firewood and poured a few liters of diesel fuel on it, trying to make the bonfire burn more vigorously, and the moment the diesel fuel was poured up, the flames jumped up, and everyone cheered, and the light seemed to be daylight

Nono felt her brain throb in pain, and she remembered······ How did the endless wait end in each dream, the dark blue was torn apart by a deeper blue lightning, as if the sky was cracked, and in the crack were still the blue eyes

With a sigh of relief, Nuno silently pinched his palm, and the gem seemed to still be in his hand

Just like it was at the beginning

------------------ my -------------------- is ----------------- ---------------- cut the ------------------- line----------

"United Airlines UA836 flight to Chicago is ready to take off, the cabin door is closed, please turn off mobile communication devices." A sweet female voice echoed through the cabin.

Lu Mingfei took out his mobile phone and took one last look, at 23:30 in the middle of the night, the last night flight to the United States, the rain fell wildly outside the porthole, and the city lights were sparse from afar

"Why did Senior Brother Ye Yu suddenly want to travel to the Three Gorges for a week? Senior Brother Chu postponed the time to go back to school in order to wait for you," Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled

Chu Zihang handed Ye Yu a set of inflatable headrests, earplugs and eye masks, "There should be some gains."

Ye Yu smiled slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that something fell under the water of the Three Gorges, I contacted the salvage to help me get it, and then traveled by the way."

"Oh" Lu Mingfei didn't ask more, and nodded obediently

"This route passes over the Arctic Circle, 10 hours, and you will arrive in Chicago after a good night's sleep, you should be sleepy," Ye Yu said to Lu Mingfei

"Well, Senior Brother Ye Yu, Senior Brother Chu Zihang, good night" Lu Mingfei put on an eye patch and earplugs

"Good night" Ye Yu and Chu Zihang said at the same time, the two glanced at each other and nodded silently

"I think you should have something to say," Chu Zihang said after a moment of silence, the expression on his face unchanged

"Well, this place is not suitable today, let's talk about it tomorrow in Chicago" Ye Yu knew very well what Chu Zihang was anxious about, and it was rare for him to take the initiative to ask if he had always been calm

"However, I want to know if you know what you want to know," Ye Yu said before putting on the blindfold and earmuffs

"Good night, Zihang"

"En" Chu Zihang lowered his head and sighed, not knowing what he was thinking
