Chapter 4 The Prologue Begins

The midday sun poured down from the treetops, accompanied by a creaking sound, as if it merged into a lullaby, and in the steaming heat and dazzling light of the hot summer, it sprinkled on the lazy rocking chairs, smoking the drowsiness of those curled up on them......

Raising the antique thread-bound book in his hand, it was able to cover his forehead, and the specks of sunlight cast down through the yellowed pages, reflecting irregular spots of light on the slightly pale skin.

"It's so hot, this damn weather, when is it going to be the end!" Chen Yi lay there and muttered in a low voice. Let the rocking chair sway back and forth, and the monotonous frequency accompanied by bursts of trance, finally let him fall asleep.

The faint fragrance that faintly emerges in the air is infinitely and gently wafting into the sleepy fantasy world, presenting the unrealizable dreams in real life one by one......

"Sleep, sleep, sleep, know sleep!" An abrupt voice suddenly appeared in the gentle dream, shattering the incomparably beautiful dream in an instant, "What else do you know besides sleeping?!"

An angry woman stood there, dressed in a capable outfit, outlining a more attractive arc of her already slender figure, with a delicate face and a pair of phoenix eyes, but because of the anger at the moment, it reflected a bit of awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring, showing a different style.

In his hand, he held the lone thread-bound book that Chen Yi dropped on his chest.

"My book!" Chen Yi was awakened by this sharp shout, and opened his eyes in a daze, before he could pull back his senses, he saw that the lone book he couldn't put down had been thrown down.

Regained his senses in an instant, his body rushed out diagonally, and finally took the book in his hand at that critical moment.

"Fortunately! Fortunately!" Chen Yi smirked, not realizing the angry woman in front of him, he was still glad that he made a quick move, otherwise, the lone book he had always regarded as a treasure would have to return to the Nine Heavens!

However, a wave of unevenness rose again and again, and I saw a pointed high heel suddenly appear in front of my eyes, and before I could react, I kicked the book straight out, and the loose pages of the book were immediately scattered to the ground.

The breeze blew, and the thin books swayed in the wind, at this time, Chen Yi didn't care about what the image was, and threw himself directly on the ground, picking it up carefully one by one.

"Do you know what this is?!" twists and turns, even the clay statue has three points of fire, at this time Chen Yi still cares about who is standing in front of him, and immediately said angrily: "This is the only book, do you know?!, each of these pieces is made of silkworm cocoon paper, in case there is a mistake, there will be no more this version of the book in this world!"

In the face of such a monstrous anger, no matter who looked at it, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, however, standing in front of him was the woman who didn't care about this anger the most, his wife, Shui Xunmei.

From six o'clock in the morning to now, my feet have not left the ground, you sleep comfortably until more than nine o'clock, and you read a book in the yard after eating, I shouted you ten times and you didn't agree, you know the drunken life and dream of death all day long, what is the use of this lonely book in your hands, it is better to throw it away, it is better than wasting it in your hands!" Where would Shui Xunmei in anger care about Chen Yi's reaction, besides, after living together for so long, who can not know whom, she has long been accustomed to Chen Yi's bottomless connivance and compromise, and where do you care about the collision between words at this time.

I've been married for seven years, seven years, a critical point in married life, they all say that the seven-year itch, the seven-year itch, Chen Yi originally thought that the seven-year itch was just a joke in the proverb, and it would never appear in his life with Shui Xunmei, but, maybe he still overestimated himself, but he underestimated the consumption of time for everything......

Seven years is not long, but it is not short, everything seven years ago seems to be still vivid in front of me. I still remember that at that time, Chen Yi was still in the research room of the university, and he led the archaeology team for the first time. I vaguely remember that the project was in Lop Nur, because of the particularity of the project, in that deserted place, I stayed for half a year but still found nothing, and it was when the entire archaeological team decided to evacuate that I found the fainted water Xunmei in the dry Peacock River riverbed.

The round sunset pressed against the ridge line of the desert, the earth was dull and crimson, the undulating sand dunes were like waves in the sea, peeling off layer after layer, and the dry riverbed was like a huge golden carpet, and she lay there, as if asleep, but in this dead sea of sand, there was only a thin line between sleep and death.

At that time, she was just a daring traveler, and without adequate preparation, she rushed to this unknown world, and therefore received the most severe punishment, but when the girl who looked pitiful and dirty, under the cover of layers of gravel, opened her clear eyes, she was still tempted without warning.

Self-disciplined in love matters, rushed in recklessly like a hairy boy who was not deeply involved in the world, and in less than three months, the two got married in a flash.

Flash Wedding, Flash Wedding......

Maybe it's because the love is too fast, and the love is so warm, all the passion is burned out in an instant, but in the long-term relationship, because of excessive emotional autism, slowly accumulated too many disappointments, so that they gradually closed the door of their hearts, and in the face of the estrangement that cannot be eliminated, the feelings lost their flow, and over time, they became a pool of stagnant water and lost their vitality......

"You are simply unreasonable!" Chen Yi said angrily, although Shui Xunmei had a hot personality in the past, after all, it was her own fault first, and the housework at home was contracted by Shui Xunmei, as long as she didn't touch her bottom line, she generally chose to back down.

Maybe it's because of the nature of their work, and the frequent business trips, so that the time between the two is not as long as imagined, but once they get along, it's either endless quarrels or endless cold wars, however, today it's unbearable to kick yourself out so indiscriminately!

"I can't see you like this!" Seeing that Chen Yi was already angry, Shui Xunmei was also slightly frightened, but the words he said were like water spilled out, naturally it was difficult to take it back, and then he thought of Chen Yi messing around like this all day, and for a while he felt that he had no fault in the slightest, he glanced at him obliquely, with a little contempt in his expression, coldly put down this sentence, then picked up the shoulder bag on the table and turned to leave.

"You!" Chen Yi only felt a wave of anger rush to his heart, and slammed his fist on the tree, the leaves fell down, he stood in the courtyard, and there was only the sound of "Gadagada" high heels falling on the street at noon, and farther away, there was the endless chirping of cicadas......
