Chapter 66: Starry Sky
Qi Min and Anton arrived at the hotel's restaurant, and sure enough, there was not much left of dinner. Although this hotel is not a special place for recuperation like docking with the employees of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the number of employees of the brain-like company is so large, and this period of time is equivalent to a charter. The rest of the team eats on time, and there is not much left for the late arrivals.
The two of them almost ate a little, and went out from the hotel with Lu Lu and Fang Xiuchen to walk outside.
Although the hotel belongs to the Haihu New District of Xining City, it is obviously a piece of land in an underdeveloped area, far away from the bustling area, and the light pollution is not so serious, so you can see some stars. But in fact, Qi Min felt that this starry sky was really incomparable to what she saw when she drove across Yellowstone Park. I just wanted to complain about the management department to organize recuperation and take everyone to live in such an ordinary hotel, not only far away from the bustling area, but also not how quiet the surrounding environment is, and suddenly remembered what happened when I went to Yellowstone Park, and I couldn't say it for a while.
Qi Min and Anton have been together for more than ten years, and except for the incident when Mimi fell from the building, there has basically been no conflict. Qi Min has to admit that this is mainly due to Anton's ability to empathize beyond ordinary people, and he can "detect and treat any problem early". But this skill Anton is not completely innate, or to a large extent, he was scared out by Qi Min.
When Mimi was not picked up back then, in fact, Qi Min and Anton's life was quite leisurely, with almost enough money to spend, and a little free time, and they could play around. Going to Yellowstone was the first time they traveled together, and they were very excited when they first arrived at the place, especially driving around in a rented broken car, and they felt that they enjoyed a lot of freedom.
However, Qi Min soon became not very happy. She was originally older than Anton and got her driver's license before him, but Anton's driving skills were really better than her, so he was always the one who drove on the road, and finally it was Qi Min's turn to drive, and Anton was still pointing at him with the plastic Chinese he was using at that time. Qi Min is used to not showing it obviously in the early and middle stages of anger, and that night when she was driving for the Nth time when she was "reminded" by Anton about the problem of driving skills, Qi Min really couldn't bear it, and jumped out of the car after directly slamming the brakes, walked to the trunk when Anton didn't react at all, and took out her second-hand 54 style that was basically equal to picking up for nothing when she bought it.
She pointed at Anton with the 54 and ordered him to go down while pulling the insurance. Anton was stunned on the spot, so frightened that he could only get out of the car, and then Qi Min drove away.
When she just drove away, Qi Min really felt very happy, and finally no one grabbed the car from her, and no one chattered beside her. The starry sky was so quiet that night that she drove about forty or fifty kilometers, and then stopped and climbed on the roof of the car to watch the Milky Way shining in the night sky, and everything was very beautiful.
Then Qi Min regretted it - not because he realized that it was illegal. In fact, at that time, Qi Min did not have the so-called American law in her mind at all, but in a peaceful state, the part of her head about "empathy" finally began to work normally.
So Qi Min drove back to the place where he threw Anton down to find him. Anton was completely stunned when he was thrown out of the car, and Qi Min had already relieved himself when he came back to find him. When he saw her again, Anton was in a very angry state - it was really a bit magical, and most people would be afraid at first when they encountered such a situation, but Anton was completely convinced from the bottom of his heart that Qi Min would not really throw him here at night, so he was only very angry at her excessive expression - this may have been due to some kind of trust in the Bolshevik comrades. After being scolded by Anton, Qi Min repeatedly apologized and begged him for nearly two hours before letting him get back into the car.
After getting in the car, Anton asked her to get out of the apartment he rented when she went back, and Qi Min also felt that it was okay to break up when this happened, so he just offered to give her three days to pack up her things and find a new place to live. Then on the way out, when Anton got out of the car to go shopping, Qi Min cried in the car for a long time. Apparently it wasn't because she was dumped, but because she felt like she wasn't a thing.
But miraculously, after going back, Anton never mentioned the breakup again. Later, when I heard him say that Qi Min realized that in fact, Anton quickly realized that she was just expressing her dissatisfaction in an excessively radical way. He scolded Qi Min for scolding, warning for warning, his own anger disappeared, and Qi Min also deeply realized that her self-control in some aspects should indeed be strengthened, which is equivalent to solving the problem, and it will be fine.
This kind of thing never happened again, although Qi Min still brought the 54 type, but he never took the initiative to threaten anyone with it. She knew that her temper hadn't really improved, except for her self-control, but that Anton had adapted to her emotional expression. This may be his forte, but it is also true that she has contributed to this at all.
The starry sky that year was indeed beautiful, but based on the pain of the intimate relationship, no matter how beautiful the starry sky was, it could not bring true happiness.
Of course, Qi Min believes that Anton will never think of such a bad thing. The experience of his youth was too tragic, and instead habitually weakened the memory of those events full of negative emotions, which should be a way of self-preservation. Anton's current optimistic and peaceful personality has led many people who don't know him to mistakenly think that he was raised in a honey pot since he was a middle-aged child, but in fact it is probably only because if he had not reinvented himself as an optimistic Bolshevik, he would have fallen into the environment in high school or earlier, like most other helpless orphans of illegal immigrants.
"What do you want, huh?" Anton asked her softly.
Qi Min moved his gaze back from the night sky above his head, and said unabashedly: "I just suddenly remembered when I was in Yellowstone Park. ”
Her tone was unusually serious—she wouldn't have said it as a joke anyway.
However, Anton didn't care too much, but smiled: "Ah, I was really angry that time, and I didn't look at the stars much." ”
Qi Min also knew that Anton was not afraid of her shooting at all - it was obvious that Anton knew enough about what kind of person Qi Min was at that time. However, after all these years, I still feel a little guilty when I think about it.
"The Milky Way is much clearer there than it is now, and there's still a bit of light pollution here." Qi Min said, "Let's go to the grassland tomorrow, and then come out at night to see the stars." ”
"So, you should bring a camera with you on this trip." Anton said.
"Well...... Qi Min thought for a while and said, "Let's buy a DSLR tomorrow." ”
