Chapter 67: A Date in a Hidden Place
On Saturday afternoon, Ning Hua walked through the school stadium and climbed the steps to the berm outside the stadium. Seeing that there was no one around, she ran down the other side of the berm, picked up a dead branch, and used it to explore the way in front of her, burrowing into the large forest south of the stadium. The woods are full of thorns and weeds. A looming path leads deep into the woods.
Ning Hua walked along the trail and came to the middle of the woods that was inaccessible. Suddenly there was a clearing in front of the woods. The clearing, which rises about 20 centimeters above the surrounding ground, is made up of six prefabricated cement slabs. These are presumably the extra cement slabs that were left behind when the school was built, and then trees were planted around it, and the trees grew up to hide the clearing. In the gaps between the joints between the precast cement slabs, sparse weeds are still coming out.
This clearing was originally very secluded, and only a few people knew about it. When Ning Hua was still in elementary school, there was a winter vacation one year, and several friends who lived in the family area of the school played in this playground. A mischievous boy burrows into the dead grass of the woods and stumbles upon this hiding place. Since then, every winter and summer vacation, Ning Hua and these friends will come to this secret stronghold to explore. By the time they reached college, they had grown up and were reluctant to venture into the woods.
Huo Dongming said that he didn't want to have a relationship for the time being, so Ning Hua set the date of the two in this secret stronghold, so that when the two met, no one would be able to find them.
When Ning Hua arrived at the clearing, Huo Dongming had not yet arrived. She spread a picnic tablecloth on the floor, took out a bottle of canned meat she had just brought from home, two sandwiches she had just made, two bags of yam flakes, two bottles of mineral water and placed them in the middle of the picnic cloth, and finally took out two crisper boxes, filled with washed purple grapes and cherries. Ning Hua pressed the mineral water and the crisper on the four corners of the picnic cloth to prevent the cloth from being blown by the wind.
Ning Hua put the schoolbag on the picnic cloth and sat next to the schoolbag by himself. After doing this, she put on her headphones and started listening to music on her phone. Suddenly, she remembered something, took the schoolbag, took out a small bottle of wind oil essence from the small mesh pocket on the side of the school bag, applied it to her wrists and ankles, and then carefully wiped her fingers with wet wipes to remove the remaining wind oil essence on her hands.
At this moment, Ning Hua heard footsteps behind him. She looked up and saw Huo Dongming coming from the overgrown path, she stood up and greeted her: "Pay attention to your feet, don't step on snakes and insects." ”
"It's fine. Hehe, I seem to be late. How long have you been there? Well, that's great! The food is all set! ”
"I haven't been here for long. You're not late, we made an appointment to get here at two o'clock, and now it's exactly two o'clock, so I arrived a little early. ”
"It's good that you're not late. I've got one thing for you, and guess what? ”
"Gee, what's the good stuff you're carrying? How could I have guessed? Take it out and I'll see! Ning Hua asked coquettishly.
"Guess hard. If you guess wrong, I won't give it to you! ”
Ning Hua looked around Huo Dongming left and right, he didn't have a backpack, guessing that it should be a small toy, "Is it a mobile phone buckle?" ”
Huo Dongming shook his head.
"Phone pendant?"
Huo Dongming still shook his head.
"Then I won't guess, it's too hard to guess!"
"Well, you're so. I'll show it to you. I saw Huo Dongming take out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, click on the "x chapter" APP interface, open "My x book", select the latest file and start playing, it turned out that Huo Dongming made a file of the photos of the two of them traveling to Dalian some time ago.
"Wow, that's beautiful! I love it! Send it to me quickly, I want to save it. ”
"Okay, I just did it in the dorm, and I just finished it. Wait a minute, I'll forward it to you now. ”
Ning Hua leaned her head on Huo Dongming's shoulder and watched as he sent the document to her WeChat. She immediately received the file from the WeChat on her mobile phone and admired it carefully: "It's really good!" I didn't expect you to be quite patient! ”
"Of course, but it depends on who's right, and I don't have that patience with anyone else. You have to be patient with my birch. ”
"Flim Flam. But you have a conscience! To reward you, please sit down and enjoy the food I have prepared for you. Ning Hua pulled Huo Dongming to sit on the picnic mat together.
"Okay! I'll see what's delicious. I see canned meat, is there beer? ”
"No beer, it's not good to drink. You look at the sandwich I made myself, there are two flavors, one is asparagus flavor and the other is onion flavor. Which one do you prefer? ”
"I want asparagus."
Ning Hua handed the asparagus-flavored sandwich to Huo Dongming: "Here, you can taste it and see how it tastes?" ”
Huo Dongming took a big bite: "Well, the taste is really good." You're good at it, I'm so blessed! ”
Ning Hua pursed her lips and smiled: "As long as you like to eat, I will often make it for you in the future." ”
She picked up another sandwich, took small bites, and watched Huo Dongming gobble it up contentedly, watching him finish the big sandwich in a few bites.
Ning Hua hesitated for a moment, looked at his sandwich, looked up and asked, "Is it delicious?" I haven't eaten much, and if you don't eat enough, I'll give you half of what I haven't eaten. ”
"No, I don't. Eat it yourself, your piece is onion-flavored, I don't like that, I'll eat something else. Huo Dongming bent down, rummaged around in the pile of food, and finally picked up the canned meat, opened the seal, and the faint aroma of meat slowly spread. Huo Dongming couldn't help but close his eyes and sniffle vigorously: "It's so fragrant!" ”
Ning Hua thought of something, took his schoolbag, rummaged through it for a while, and finally found a fruit knife wrapped in a small plastic bag and handed it to Huo Dongming: "Use this knife to cut and eat." ”
Huo Dongming took it and kissed Ning Hua on the face: "You are too careful!" ”
Ning Hua blushed, raised his hand to wipe it, and said coquettishly: "Your oily mouth, make my face oily!" ”
"Let you rub my oil, you should be happy!" Huo Dongming laughed.
Ning Hua held his powder fist and gently slapped him on the back. Huo Dongming suddenly suppressed his smile and asked seriously: "Last time I told you that we would travel to Xi'an together on this National Day, how did you think about it?" ”
"I haven't figured it out yet, I don't know how to talk to my mom and dad. They asked me who I was going with, and how did I answer? ”
"If you don't want to say it, you just don't want to say it. Last time we went to Dalian together, didn't you tell your parents too? ”
"It wasn't the same, it wasn't a holiday, and I only had one weekend night that I didn't go home. I told my parents that they didn't have time to go home because they had to study. It's National Day, and with such a long holiday, I can't hide it from my parents. ”
"You just tell them that you're traveling with me, isn't that the end of it? Why is it so complicated? ”
"That's not good, I don't have a boyfriend for the summer vacation. It's only been a few days, and a boyfriend has come out, and he has traveled so far with him, they must be worried. ”
