Chapter 34: Books and Da Shu
He Shiling straightened her windswept short hair, turned around, and walked towards the cobblestone path.
I glanced at the steps near the lake and was surprised to find that there were people there! That black back?!
Is that fishing uncle here?
"Uncle! You're in a good mood today, no more fishing? He Shiling took the book from the back of the person sitting near the lake. If you look closely, it's a song word in a thread! She searched for a thread-bound version of Song Ci that she hadn't found for a long time, and couldn't help but flip through it, "This book is good, and the binding is exquisite." β
Ke Mengnan turned around and saw a slim girl standing on the steps behind her: a girl in a beige jacket, a white turtleneck, beige slightly flared jeans, and white sneakers with light blue stripes. With a shallow smile, he quickly flipped through the book in his hand.
Under the background props of withered grass slightly green, wicker yellow, and slightly cloudy sky, the beige girl with a light smile in front of her looks particularly fresh and natural.
Uncle? Ke Mengnan smiled, the beige coat was really herββ, the girl from yesterday, He Shiling!
Take a closer look at this "unexpected" girl: the left side of the short hair, tucked behind the ears, slightly revealing the smooth forehead, willow-shaped slender eyebrows, just right to outline the eyebrow peak and then bend down, long eyelashes cover the eyes of reading, and the high nose bridge makes the whole face full of three-dimensionality. The corners of the mouth rose slightly, and a small shallow dimple seemed to appear at the corner of the mouth.
Attractive facial features, ivory-white complexion, looks harmless to humans and animals, a girl with a beautiful appearance and a very intimate feeling.
Ke Mengnan stood up, staggering the height of a step, just at eye level with her. I thought it was a visual problem just now, but it turned out that it was really slim. I can't help but think of the sentence "If you increase by one point, it is too long, and if you subtract by one, it is too short; Shi Zhu is too red, and the powder is too white".
"Yes, I want to read a book today." Ke Mengnan was playful for a while, leaned closer, laughed softly, and waited for her reaction, "This book is really good, and I like it too." β
Whose voice? A warm voice, coming very closely, seemed to be in the ear.
He Shiling raised her head from the book, and there was a young and handsome smiling face in front of her, with good-looking eyebrows on her face, with a smile between her eyebrows, and a good-looking arc at the corners of her mouth.
Who is this man? How did he end up here? He Shiling was slightly stunned, he was not an uncle fishing, he was actually a boy of the same age as her!
It's close at hand, eyebrows!
It was so close that you could see the lines of the man's eyebrows, smooth and smooth, without a single mess. Close enough to see her image in the man's eyes.
Such a close distance, so that she subconsciously retreated, but forgot the steps behind her, stepped on the air, almost fell to the lawn behind, and immediately moved back a little, the small difference between the steps and the uneven grass, so that while she was trying to maintain her body balance, she also unexpectedly fell to her feet, and the book in her hand also fell in the shaking, and very ingracefully made a few free rolls, sliding to the surface of the lake.
"Be careful, steps." The reaction was so big, it's just that he teased her, Ke Mengnan stretched out his hand, wanting to pull her, but because she retreated again and again, she couldn't do it, her outstretched hand grabbed the air, stopped for a few seconds, and then withdrew it.
She seemed to have forgotten that she was standing on a step thirty or forty centimeters above the grass, and she probably didn't know that there was a drainage ditch about ten centimeters deep and twenty centimeters wide between the uneven grass and the steps.
Seeing that she staggered back again, it seemed that she had touched her foot, but in fact, she also stood firm and did not fall.
"Book-" He Shiling reminded, shaking his right foot that had been hit, it hurt slightly, but the man smiled and didn't react, "Book-book-"
"I hear you, niece." Ke Mengnan laughed, walked a step forward, and looked at He Shiling funny, is she short-sighted? Or is his appearance old to forty or fifty years old, and he still calls him uncle, or does he really look alike to his father, obviously everyone says he looks like his mother.
Ke Mengnan took another step forward, in view of her reaction just now, she didn't get too close, staring at her from the distance between the steps and the grass, this "uncle" who shouted twice in a row, did he think he was an uncle? Is there such a young uncle? This girl's eyesight is not good?
The pages of the book were almost sinking in the lake, and the man walked towards her without noticing, what did he want to do? Isn't that a prank? Niece? Scold. Well, it was she who mistook people first.
Glancing at the books in the lake, He Shiling shook his head lightly, walked forward quickly, forgot to look at his feet, and tripped over the steps defenselessly. This time, the man was quick to hold her with both hands.
She almost fell into the crook of the arm of the person in front of her, and saw that her knees were almost parallel to her feet, and she almost knelt down. I couldn't help but gasp, she was on the bar with the steps today, stepping on the air once, kicking again and again.
A book of Song Ci has hurt her a lot, when has she been so reckless? What a mess!
"It's the Lantern Festival, not the Spring Festival, so you don't need to make such a big gift, niece!" A loud laugh rang out above her head, as exaggerated as it could.
Ke Mengnan laughed out loud, and began to be sure of her own judgment, this girl was not only short-sighted, but also a little clumsy, and actually "fell" at the same step twice, and suddenly began to doubt her father's vision, whether she was also a little dizzy, "Excuse me, niece, I didn't bring New Year's money." β
"I mean books, your books," He Shiling looked at him with a playful expression and chuckled, this person is really an uncle, not only behind his ears, but also his comprehension is blunted.
See how long you can laugh Glancing at the book that fell on the water, with the help of his hand, after standing firm, he patted his arm and pointed to the lake, "Song Ci!" Your book, fell into the lakeβ"
"Song Ci? My book? Ke Mengnan reacted at this time, it turned out that she was calling a book?!! What she has always focused on has always been the book called Song Ci! And he always thought that he was calling him uncle! Misunderstanding.
When I looked in the direction, I found that there was a book, which was swaying slightly in the lake at the moment, dancing up and down, dancing happily, as if beckoning to him, looking at me, looking at me.
Is it his Song Ci? Song Ci who was sucked away by her!
When did this book fall into the lake? He clearly remembered that she took it, and she couldn't put it down, and when was she thrown it into the lake again?
"You threw the book away?" Ke Mengnan looked down at the person in front of him, dissatisfied with him, he couldn't throw the book, right? This way of expressing dissatisfaction is a bit extreme, this little girl! How can you throw it into the lake, you don't care about books too much! Doesn't it mean that she is a person who loves books, and she likes Song Ci very much? Did he hear it wrong?!
He Shiling glanced at him, he was really convinced of him, "uncle", and he was still thinking about it unhurriedly. Forget it, let's go by herself, it's a hardcover version of Song Ci in line binding!
"Where are you going? You haven't answered my question yet. Ke Mengnan pulled the person who turned around to leave.
"Song Ci, aren't you going to ask for it? Uncle! He Shiling glanced at the hand pulling her sleeve, and then at Ke Mengnan, he was so calm, so didn't she have to worry? Still, for him, this book may just be used to decorate the store.
"Naturally, I want books. Where are you going? Ke Mengnan didn't let go, and asked again reluctantly.
"I'll save Song Ci." He Shiling gestured up and down, pointed to the books in the lake, and said nonchalantly, "You are a husband, I can only take advantage of the road." β
"Go from there! Want to fall again? Ke Mengnan glanced at He Shiling, what was going on in his little head? I still want to walk down the grassy slope to get a book, I don't have any sense of danger, no wonder I fall twice in the same place, "Can you swim?" β
"Uncle! You can save Song Ci first. "I was really speechless, He Shiling gently rubbed her temples with her hand, today's weather is really not suitable for coming out.
"Okay, I'll go," and when he was about to walk down the steps, he found that she was in trouble again, it couldn't be the sequelae of the fall, right? "What's wrong with you?" β
"Save Song Ci first, is it okay?" He Shiling pointed to the books in the lake, and if she dragged it on, it would really be a tyrannical thing!
"You sit first, don't move." Books are very important, but the most important thing should be people, little fool! Ke Mengnan pressed He Shiling to sit on the steps and told him repeatedly, "Don't come." β
He Shiling rubbed his temples, looked up at the sky, and looked at the person in front of him, he was finally willing to save the book and save Song Ci!
It is true that not everyone can understand the mountains and rivers.
