Chapter 149: Full of Expectations
Seeing that Zhong Yi entered the house, Ruan Ruan picked up the British short cat and ran downstairs, and when he stepped down the last staircase, he was not paying attention and almost stepped on the air. His body leaned forward and stumbled a few steps before he stopped.
Steadied herself, Ruan Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the impending danger of the British short cat meowing uneasily in her arms, trying to break free from her arms and jump to the ground.
Seeing Zhong Yi who pushed the door in, Lu Yuchuan hung up the phone in time, picked up the coat on the hanger and put it on his arm, and said as he walked out: "Ah Sheng has arrived at the station, I'll pick him up." ”
Zhong Yi was stunned for a moment, and stood still. The day before yesterday, he sent a text message to Xu Huaisheng and said that he had to visit relatives and friends in the past few days, and he couldn't spare time, and he might not be able to come to S City until about the fifth day of the new year. It's only the third year of junior high school, and it's two days ahead of schedule.
Seeing her stunned in place, Lu Yuchuan bent the corners of his lips, took the opportunity to put on the coat that was tied to his arm, and asked with a smile: "What?" Ah Sheng, he didn't tell you that he came over today? Anyway, sooner or later, you don't need to be so surprised, do you? ”
Xin Rui walked in with her suitcase, her eyes swept over Lu Yuchuan who was standing at the entrance, her nerves suddenly tightened, her heart was like a thread, she was tight, and she even had some difficulty breathing.
Xin Rui lowered her eyes slightly, suppressed the injured look under her eyes, pulled the corners of her mouth, and turned her gaze to Zhong Yi who was standing on the side: "Zhong Yi, where is my suitcase?" ”
"Just put it here first, and I'll take it to your room later."
Lu Yuchuan quietly took a few steps back, staggered his body, left the aisle to vacate the position of the two of them for Xin Rui, quickly changed the slippers on his feet, glanced at Zhongyi, his voice was faint, and he couldn't hear the mood fluctuations: "Remember to put the slippers in the shoe cabinet and wait for me to come back honestly." Also, don't get me into trouble. ”
The second half of the sentence is very low, and I can't hear joy and anger.
Favor: "......"
"Cousin, where are you going?" Ruan Ruan hugged the British short cat, looked at Lu Yuchuan who walked out of the house with big round eyes, smiled, and stepped forward to block his way: "It's okay to take me, I promise not to cause trouble for you." ”
Lu Yuchuan frowned almost inaudibly, his eyes moved from her face and fell on the British short cat she was holding in her arms, his eyes sank, he walked sideways past her, paused slightly, stretched out his hand and hooked her back collar and dragged it out of the courtyard: "Do you hear the cat back!" Or do you want to be grounded? Well. ”
Ruan Ruan shrank his neck coldly, turned his head slightly and secretly glanced at Lu Yuchuan's dark and calm side face, his heart tightened, and he didn't dare to say anything more when he closed his mouth.
…………
"Xiao Ruizi, if you are tired, you can go to my room to rest for a while." Seeing Lu Yuchuan walk out of the door, Zhong Yi bent down slightly and put Lu Yuchuan's slippers into the shoe cabinet, took a new pair and put them in front of Xin Rui, and asked softly.
Xin Rui shook her head with a smile, bent down to change the shoes on her feet, put them in the shoe cabinet, and pushed the suitcase into the living room. He sat down on the sofa with a big grin, stretched his limbs, glanced at Zhongyi, risked gossip and raised his eyebrows: "Don't tell me that you really don't know that Xu Huaisheng is also coming over today?" Is it difficult for you to keep in touch often? ”
The hand that liked to pour the water shook for a moment, coughed unnaturally, stuffed the water cup into Xin Rui's palm, pursed his lips, and sat aside to pick up the magazine and flip through it.
Xin Rui's gossip heart was ignited by her silence, and the tip of her heart was like a cat's paw scratching, and she was uncomfortable without asking clearly.
She sat down beside her with her chin resting on her shoulder, her eyes falling on the photography section of the magazine page, absentmindedly scanning her eyes without reading a word. cleared his throat and inquired about the news in a different way: "You said that this is all like an arrangement, I just arrived, and Xu Huaisheng followed on his hind feet." He didn't follow me all the way here, did he? I didn't find out! Too careless. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Yi looked away from the page of the magazine, and glanced at Xin Rui gently, her eyes contained a strong "concern", and at the same time she was anxious for her IQ: "You think too much, it may just be a coincidence of time." I advise you to watch less Hong Kong dramas in the future, and watch everyone follow you like an undercover spy at every turn, and others are also very tired. As he spoke, Zhong Yi smiled and stretched out his slender index finger and tapped Xin Rui's forehead.
Xin Rui covered her forehead, her bright eyes reflected Zhongyi's figure, sat up, looked at her with straight eyes, and said: "Xu Huaisheng has traveled thousands of miles to come here, you can show some hospitality to others, if the development goes well, it is not impossible to walk together." But I'm afraid that you're an open-minded brain, and you don't know how to be flexible, and your penance crush has to have a result, right? ”
Zhong Yi closed the magazine, lowered his eyes slightly, and said a soft "um". Raising his hand to cover Xin Rui's hand on his lap, his fingertips rubbed lightly, as if to say to her, as if to say to himself: "Feelings are the most difficult to grasp clearly, sometimes see it thoroughly, and there may not be a good ending, but do not fight, everything is okay with the situation." ”
For her, crush has never been an ascetic, she would rather live thoroughly than see the essence of feelings, like this kind of foggy flowers, shallow and faint, is the most suitable for her.
Xin Rui closed her eyes, yawned, tilted her head, and reclined on Zhongyi's shoulder. The hair scratched her earlobe, tickling, and the voice that followed rang in her ears: "It's better to be safe than to be happy with each other." ”
…………
Zhong Yi put his hands in his pockets, stood under the eaves and looked at a few plum blossoms by the wall of the courtyard, and a slightly messy footsteps sounded outside the courtyard. The footsteps got closer and closer, and Zhong Yi deviated his gaze slightly, and just like that, the tall figure of the young man stepping on the dead leaves on the ground broke into her sight unexpectedly.
Bang bang bang.
In addition to the sound of the wind, only the sound of her nervous beating heart seemed to be left in her ears.
It was so powerful, striking again and again, rippling layer upon layer.
Xu Huaisheng's eyebrows were lowered, and his eyes were as deep as crumpled stars. was looking down and discussing with Lu Yuchuan beside him, leaving only a side face with a halo under the sun, and the corners of his lips slightly hooked up a shallow arc.
Zhong Yi couldn't help but look demented, and the two of them had already walked from the cobblestone path to the courtyard, and she didn't even notice it. The line of sight summarized the plum blossoms blooming against the cold wind on the wall, reflecting the young man's clear appearance at this time in his mind, and suddenly thought that if it snowed at this moment, it would probably best reflect Xu Huaisheng's indifferent temperament.
"Favorite." Lu Yuchuan frowned inadvertently, knocked his fingers on her forehead, pulled her back to reality from her dementia, suppressed the smile that rose at the corner of her lips, and said, "What are you doing standing stupidly, a gift for hospitality." ”
Zhong Yi covered his forehead that was knocked by him, glanced at him with wet and bright eyes, and naturally looked over Lu Yuchuan to Xu Huaisheng who stretched out his hand to stand still, half of his face was covered under the black scarf, leaving only a pair of deep dark eyes, and he was also staring at her quietly.
Subconsciously blurted out: "So, you came in advance." ”
Xu Huaisheng raised his slender fingers and pulled down the scarf, revealing his whole face. The sun was shining overhead, and the tiny mottled light fell on his soft, quiet face with a soft smile, and his voice was low: "Hmm. Happy New Year. ”
"Happy New Year......
After having lunch together at home, the five of them went out in a big way, first went to the nearby ancient town to stroll, and finally climbed the mountain. Climbing all the way to the top of the mountain, I feel that my legs are tired and trembling, and my breathing has become lighter and heavier.
Ruan Ruan seemed to have inexhaustible strength, walked around the ancient town, and climbed the time-consuming and laborious mountain, when others were tired and out of breath, she enthusiastically studied the temple located in the middle of the mountain.
"Zhongyi, wait a minute, let's go to the temple?" Ruan Ruan excitedly swiped left and left with his mobile phone, grinned, and showed the photos taken in the photo album of his mobile phone to Zhong Yi, humbly asking for advice.
"Why are you suddenly interested in it?" Zhong Yi pounded her sore legs as she stared sideways at the phone screen reaching out to her. The style of the photos is different, there are slightly more miscellaneous pictures, and at a glance, it is really dazzling.
"When I passed by, I saw a lot of coins thrown into the wishing fountain to make wishes, and I thought about going in and worshiping the Buddha and asking for peace and blessings to take with me." Ruan Ruan had been living abroad for the first few years, and the knowledge of Chinese culture that he knew the most was gradually Westernized, and he was always much more open-minded than he liked, and he didn't care about the conflict between beliefs.
"I think you seem to be a Christian?" Lu Yuchuan unscrewed the cap of the bottle, raised his head and poured a few sips, squinted at Ruan Ruan, who was next to Zhongyi, and said coldly.
"Are you talking about this kind of peace and happiness?" Xin Rui tore off the peace blessing hanging on the zipper of her backpack, took it in her hand and shook it. That was when she went to the temple by herself last year to beg for it, and she planned to give it to Lu Yuchuan, but she couldn't send it out, and it wasn't good to lose it, so she kept it with herself.
Zhong Yi slightly turned his head to look at the peace blessing that was worn with red thread in Xin Rui's hand, frowned almost inaudibly, and quickly stretched his eyebrows. She couldn't guess what Xin Rui really thought in her heart, and she couldn't guess whether her feelings for Lu Yuchuan were really as she said a few months ago, everything had become a thing of the past, and she let it go.
But what does that peace and blessing represent?
Ruan Ruan's interest was suddenly hooked by Ping An Fu, and he nodded hurriedly, "It's exactly the same as what I saw on the Internet, this one is more delicate than the picture, at least in the details." ”
"The temple halfway up the mountain can also ask for blessings, and when you go down later, you can also ask for one to take with you. You have to be religious, or you won't be spiritual. Xin Rui smiled with a smile in her eyebrows, and under the warm winter sun, her fair little face became more and more indescribably beautiful.
"It seems interesting, do you want to ask for a peace blessing for grandma?" Xu Huaisheng sat down beside Zhong Yi, handed her the mineral water in his hand, kept his eyes on the misty scenery in the mountains, and whispered: "She is an old man, ask for a peace blessing with her, and she can also keep her safe all her life." ”
Xu Huaisheng knew that whether he believed that these peace and blessings could really bring good luck to people, it was just spiritual self-hypnosis.
Zhong Yi raised the camera hanging on his chest, adjusted the angle, focused, and pressed the shutter lightly, and with a "click", the most relaxed state of the four people was photographed.
