Chapter 36 Lanterns

Lin Qingyuan stepped on the accelerator and got on the elevated road.

Looking out of the car window, the street is very beautiful.

There are still a lot of cars on the road, because it is a weekend and a holiday day, and the road should be more congested than usual.

Lin Qingyuan took the opportunity to eat a few bites of sandwiches.

The performance of men sometimes makes her feel unfathomable. It was a little quiet in the car, and Li Xia was a little nervous.

Li Xia has a lot of questions to ask, such as what kind of work she does and what is the situation at home.

It doesn't seem to be close enough to ask these questions. Although, in his usual conversations, he has already revealed his family background.

"Would you like to put on some music?" Li Xia asked.

Lin Qingyuan turned on the stereo of the car, and there was an English song coming from it, Li Xia completely understood the lyrics, and the melody was very fond of it.

"Do you understand the lyrics?"

"I don't understand, so I think it's good."

The two of them really had nothing to say.

Or did Li Xia ask a practical question first, "Are you usually busy at work?" ”

"It's okay, sometimes it's a bit busy."

"Did you go to graduate school after you worked?"

"Yes, all of our students have to have work experience."

"Then when you go to work, you have to make up for the time you go to school, the boss is generally a week, and he won't make it easy for you to go to work."

Lin Qingyuan often calls Liu Zheng the boss, and his daily work schedule is arranged by him, even if there are many activities that he doesn't like to participate in, he has to be forcibly pulled.

"Zhou Papi? Our boss is quite good, seeing that I get off work late, the car is borrowed from me. ”

In the evening, Liu Zheng wanted to take him to school, but insisted on driving himself.

Li Xia thought to herself, your boss is a hammer. You don't even have time to eat at night. Don't say it's nice, it's to get to school early, it's clearly an excuse.

I stopped and stopped on the road, and I didn't know when I arrived at the entrance of the park.

One thing I didn't encounter here was that I couldn't find a place to park at the door.

Lin Qingyuan drove at the gate of the park, turned around a few times, and there were no cars to drive away, just looking for a nearby commercial center, where there are generally more parking spaces.

There is a Wanda Mall nearby, which is only a few minutes away.

Looking at the distance on the map, it took half an hour to walk from the mall to the park. Li Xia was glad that she didn't wear high heels, otherwise she would have to crawl back at night.

To watch the lanterns at night, you also need tickets, and the queues are very long at the several windows at the door to buy tickets.

Li Xia beat the drum again in his heart, it took more than half an hour to park, and it took more than half an hour to buy a ticket.

Lin Qingyuan probably saw the expression of distrust on Li Xia's face.

Immediately said, "I have a ticket, let's just go in." ”

These two tickets were bought by Liu Zheng in advance, and he and Liu Zheng said that they were gifts for customers, and who gave gifts to customers, only bought two tickets, or only had one night of time.

Li Xia smiled, this is a bit reliable.

On the banyan trees on both sides of the road, traditional red lanterns have been hung, which are gorgeous under the bright moonlight.

Walking inside, it is even more lively. In the middle of the lake in the park, there are all kinds of lanterns, and the surrounding willow trees are also lit up.

In addition to the whole family going out to see the lights, the most encountered on the road are men and women holding hands.

"Tired or not, find a place to sit down and rest for a while."

"Okay."

The two of them found a chair by the lake and sat down. The glass lamp on the tree illuminated the long shadows of the two people, superimposed on top of each other.

Li Xia asked, "Have you been here to see the lights before?" ”

"It's my first time here. When I was a child, I went to other places with my family many times. ”

"We were there, and it was also very lively during the Lantern Festival. When I was a child, my dad would make lanterns for me. ”

"I'm so happy."

"I'm most afraid of fireworks, I used to set off fireworks, and I almost didn't blow them up."

"Now, fireworks are not allowed in the city."

"Our small place is okay, and my dad bought it during the Chinese New Year."

When a gust of wind blows, the lanterns in the middle of the lake sway, and the lanterns on the trees sway, which is beautiful.

The wind by the lake seems to be much colder than outside, and sitting there, I always feel like the wind is drilling up. Li Xia pulled the hem of the coat from time to time, wrapping it tighter, which could block the lake breeze.

"Are you cold?"

"It's not cold." Li Xia coughed, "It's fake." ”

Lin Qingyuan took off his coat and wanted to put it on for Li Xia.

"Forget it. You have a thick dress all over your body, if you catch a cold, you won't be able to go to work tomorrow, and the boss will be mean to you again. ”

"It's okay, my boss and I have a good relationship."

"The lights have been seen, let's go back, it's not too early."

Walking to Wanda Mall, Lin Qingyuan went to the underground garage to drive, and Li Xia was waiting for him at the exit on the first floor of the mall.

At the fried chicken restaurant outside the mall, there are still many people queuing up to buy it at night, and they may be the same as themselves, people who have just come back from watching the lanterns, come to eat supper.

Li Xia also joined the queue.

Lin Qingyuan drove out, but he didn't see Li Xia in the agreed place, and he didn't answer the phone, so he got out of the car and came out to look for her.

Li Xia was swaying out of the fried chicken restaurant.

"Where did you go, I thought you lost it?"

"Let's eat, it's better when it's hot."

"What?"

"Fried chicken."

"There's beer here."

Fried chicken and beer, it's a perfect match.

Li Xia usually only eats fried chicken, and before she drank beer, she saw on TV, a mouthful of fried chicken, a mouthful of beer, and it was very fragrant.

I just had a beer and took a sip of it.

"There are gloves here, you can eat and drive, you haven't had a good dinner at night."

Lin Qingyuan usually doesn't eat chicken, especially fried food, and looked at Li Xia's very serious appearance and took a bite.

"Not bad."

"It's better with beer."

"I'm going to drive, I can't drink."

How did Li Xia know that the seriousness of drunk driving almost encouraged people to commit crimes.

Li Xia originally took a sip, but Lin Qingyuan couldn't drink it, and he felt a bit wasteful when he threw it away, so he divided it by two, and drank a can of beer.

After drinking enough, plus after the car was moving, the inside warmed up, and Li Xia didn't have time to look at the night scene outside, so he fell asleep.

Lin Qingyuan helped her adjust the seat and put his coat on her.

After arriving at the school, Lin Qingyuan parked the car in the old position, and Li Xia never woke up.

Seeing that the dormitory door of Building 6 was about to close, Lin Qingyuan woke up Li Xia.

"Where's it been?" Li Xia asked in a trance.

"Downstairs in your dorm."

Li Xia saw that her aunt was about to close the door, "Ah, why didn't you wake me up earlier." ”

"Get out of the car and run straight to the dormitory."

Finally rushed to the iron fence before it was completely closed, and went upstairs.
