Part 2: The Ivory Tower Tragedy Chapter 8
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the train came with the news that it was about to enter Hangzhou Station. He Meina, who was full of joy, leaned on Gao Wenxiang's broad shoulders, this was her first trip since she fell in love with Gao Wenxiang, and the sweetness of warmth continued to flow in her heart.
The happiest time in life is to travel with your beloved, to see the sunrise and sunset, to see the mountains and rivers on the way, this beautiful sentence describing people in love has the best response to He Meina.
Before the train entered Hangzhou, He Meina planned the arrangements for this trip to Hangzhou. In the afternoon, when we arrive in Hangzhou, we will find a hotel to stay in, and after a short rest, we will go to dinner together in the evening. The next day, I went to Hangzhou West Lake in the morning, and in the afternoon I came to Songcheng Scenic Area and Zhejiang University. On the third day, a full-day tour of Qiandao Lake. Gao Wenxiang is a person who came out of the mountains, and has no experience of traveling, and this trip to Hangzhou, accommodation, and travel strategies are all in charge of He Meina. Of course, the cost of the whole trip is also covered by Ho Meina. For Ho Meina, she doesn't care about that, she only cares that she can enjoy her trip with her beloved boyfriend to the fullest.
Compared with the international style of Shanghai, Hangzhou has more poetic charm. The beauty of Suzhou and Hangzhou has always been a place of conversation among literati and artists since ancient times, and the moment you walk out of the train station, it seems that you can listen to its leisurely charm in the south of the Yangtze River.
He Meina booked a room in a star-rated hotel, and for Gao Wenxiang, it was the first time to walk into this kind of star-rated hotel. The moment he entered the lobby, he was fascinated by the decoration in front of him, and when he was intoxicated, he also felt a little unhappy with Ho Meina's extravagant way.
"Mina, how much does your room cost for a night?" Gao Wenxiang asked.
"It's not expensive, it's only 1200 a night." He Meina said indifferently.
“1200 !” Gao Wenxiang shouted in surprise.
"What are you doing! Shocked. He Meina said.
"It's 1200 for one night of accommodation alone, how much do we have to spend in Hangzhou this time!" Gao Wenxiang had a frightened expression on his face.
He Meina was startled, threw the bag in her hand on the bed, and then sat on the bed and said, "What a disappointment!" ”
Gao Wenxiang was angry when he saw He Meina, so he had to go forward to coax his girlfriend.
"Mina, I mean, we're both students, so it's a bit too extravagant to spend money like this." Gao Wenxiang said as he stroked He Meina's hands.
He Meina calmed down her anger: "Wen Xiang, after all, this is the first time we have come out to play, I just want you to have fun and have a good time." ”
Gao Wenxiang knew that this was He Meina's heart, so he continued calmly: "Meina, why don't we change to an ordinary hotel, it's not all about whether you come out to have fun or not." ”
"Oops, why are you so annoying." He Meina spread the eldest lady's temper, "I won't change it, I want to change it." ”
When Gao Wenxiang saw this, he had no choice but to rely on He Meina.
After dinner, Gao Wenxiang and He Meina went shopping hand in hand and bought a large bag of snacks back to the hotel.
He Meina should be said to be attentive in managing her love with Gao Wenxiang, and before leaving Shanghai, she bought pajamas and other items for Gao Wenxiang from the Internet. This series of practices also moved Gao Wenxiang a lot. Sometimes, Gao Wenxiang even feels that his love life is sweeter than he imagined in his dreams.
After the night was getting late, He Meina snuggled in Gao Wenxiang's arms in thin pajamas. Although she really wanted to expose her skin to Gao Wenxiang and intertwine with each other. But when I thought that I had only known each other for four months, I had to maintain my charm, after all, Gao Wenxiang was from the mountains, not like an urban youth. After some thought, Ho Meina's rational wisdom finally triumphed over the fiery desire in her heart.
Holding He Meina in his arms, Gao Wenxiang's nervousness at that moment was like a torrent, he couldn't believe that all this in front of him was true, he had not gone through a third of his college life, and he had only been away from the mountains for half a year, he never thought that he had been sleeping in the same bed with Miss Guanjia, sharing a dream with a pillow, could he really be a lucky person favored by God? In line with He Meina's thoughts, Gao Wenxiang never wanted to do something out of the ordinary tonight, after all, this was the first time he had fallen asleep with the opposite sex in his arms, and the excitement in his heart was enough to digest it himself. Despite this, the two snuggled up to each other, with only a thin layer of pajamas in between, and each could feel the warmth of each other's skin. Gao Wenxiang closed his eyes, trying to relax himself and let himself wander freely in the gentle countryside.
Without the love to look forward to, without the trivial things to worry about, life is only a simple self.
This winter vacation, Meng Ting made a fulfilling plan for himself, and he borrowed four books from the library to take home. Two works of Sanmao: "You Are My Dream", "Rolling Red Dust", a "Lady of the Camellias" by Alexandre Dumas, and a collection of essays by Mr. Zhu Ziqing. Since there is only a simple self left in life, then choose to read quietly, forget about the troubles and trivialities, and wander in the words.
Meng Ting loves to read Chinese and Western literary masterpieces and essay collections since modern times, and between the lines, these works always exude the brilliance of humanity and are always full of hope that will never die. For a girl walking on the road of literature, reading seems to be the best caress of a wounded soul.
Although he has only been away from his hometown for only four months, his hometown has changed faster than he imagined. The state's strategy of poverty alleviation and the large-scale development of the western region has made this winter no longer bitterly cold like a spring breeze. The villages in the mountains are connected to asphalt roads, like a ribbon connecting with the county seat. On the asphalt road, trucks carrying tea and fruit into the mountains one after another, and the once closed mountain village has become busy. Meng Ting also saw an advertisement for a travel agency on the wall at the entrance of the village, which was about rural tourism. As far as the eye can see, high-voltage lines have been erected between the mountains, many low-rise bungalows have disappeared, and many families have moved into two-story buildings. Meng Ting felt that the pace of change and development in her hometown was faster than she had imagined in her mind. Walking on the wide road, the wind no longer kicks up dust, and the backward village is quietly changing.
On the first night Meng Ting returned home, it snowed heavily. The next morning, when I opened the window of the small building, the mountains in front of me turned into a world of ice and snow, with the trees covered in silver and the peaks clear and jade. The cold air blowing into the window carries the charm of thousands of plants, which makes people feel cool and comfortable.
Last night, Meng Ting also had a strange dream: on the snowy field, Meng Ting was alone in a single dress, trembling and walking forward. The howling north wind blew mercilessly against her, and she looked around, only she was alone in the struggle. At this time, a snow wolf suddenly rushed from the front, and before Meng Ting could react, he bit her arm. Meng Ting struggled desperately, and the blood couldn't stop flowing onto the snow, dyeing the snowflakes red. When Meng Ting was desperate, a gunshot pierced the howling north wind, and the wolf was killed. Meng Ting looked forward in fear, and Gao Wenxiang walked over from the snowflakes blown by the wind. He came over to bandage Meng Ting's wounds, and put his cotton clothes on Meng Ting, and then carried Meng Ting on his back and walked slowly on the snowflakes on the ground.
Recalling last night's dream, Meng Ting felt how ridiculous it was. She reminded herself over and over again, forget Gao Wenxiang, forget him as soon as possible, this person no longer belongs to you, he is just an ordinary friend of yours.
In the few days after returning home, Meng Ting couldn't help but tell her parents about Gao Wenxiang's new girlfriend several times, wanting to seek some comfort from her parents. Meng Ting's parents have not seen Gao Wenxiang a little, after all, they met Meng Ting in junior high school, and the two have grown up together for six years, and they know that their daughter Meng Ting loves Gao Wenxiang. However, whenever the words came to her lips, Meng Ting felt difficult to speak. After thinking about it carefully, Meng Ting thought that now that she had grown up, studying in college thousands of miles away was enough to worry her parents, and there was no need to add extra worries to her parents. Besides, growing up after the age of twenty is itself a metamorphosis of one metamorphosis after another, with risks, worries at night, and tears of pain. It is this transformation that makes people mature and beautiful.
Meng Ting thought to herself in her heart, on the road of love, those who are injured and those who have many regrets are not alone, and they must learn to accept it calmly. Thinking of this, Meng Ting decided not to let her parents know that the days at home will only become less and less in the future, so while she is still a student, an age with winter and summer vacations, she should talk more happily with her parents at home, so that her parents can feel their maturity.
