19. The unsinkable island
Lan Qingchuan closed his eyes, pillowed his hands behind his head, and lay quietly under the huge ginkgo tree, his snow-like complexion floating with a layer of blush after exercise.
Her long hair, which had been pulled up, had been loosened as she rode the horse, and she had pulled it aside.
Bringing back two bottles of drinks from the vending machine, Han Luochen also lay down beside her. Seeing that she didn't react for a long time, he simply picked up his bottle and pasted it on her cheek with the chilled bottle.
Sure enough, she opened her eyes all at once, turned her face to look at him lightly, then sat up, took the bottle of water he handed over, twisted the lid, raised her head and took a small sip before putting it down.
"Thank you." The voice is low and hoarse, and the breath is a little unsteady. Then he leaned half-on the trunk of the tree and stopped talking.
Han Luochen's sweaty black hair was attached to his forehead, he pulled the dark gray woolen sweater, and after blowing the wind for a while, it still didn't relieve the heat, he sat up again and raised his neck to pour water.
Finally feeling more comfortable, he turned his head to look at Lan Qingchuan, his birch-brown pupils were like the colors of late autumn, but they were moist and translucent in the steaming heat.
She breathed deeply, shallowly, and unbuttoned one of the buttons around her neck, revealing a white, transparent neck lined with a red collar, glaring and seductive.
Seeing the flush on her face, he frowned, "You're not well?" ”
Normal people should have calmed down after resting for such a long time.
"It's just a little worse."
She raised her eyes, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and gently wiped the sweat from her face.
She had just arrived in France at the age of 5 and was not accustomed to the soil. Coupled with a series of changes that happened in China, she was depressed and frightened, and naturally she had a serious illness and fell ill. But because of the good maintenance, it is only a little worse than ordinary people.
Holding on to the trunk of the tree, she stretched her arms, picked up her cowboy hat, fastened her lacing, re-tied her long hair, and walked towards her horse. The two horses had been watered by the men of the field, and were grazing on a meadow, and from time to time they snorted twice in their noses, and the tall black horse saw her coming, moved his ears, and rubbed her hands.
She found it interesting and asked Han Luochen, "This is your horse?" Very smart and not afraid of life. ”
"Of course, I raised it for three years. Far away, it could hear my footsteps. Han Luochen drank all the water, accurately threw the empty bottle into the garbage can, and then walked over and touched the black horse's mane, and a smug smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it, unsinkable island?" This smile was different from usual, but it was surprisingly soft.
The horse neighed a few times and stepped on its front hooves, as if to understand what its master was saying.
Lan Qingchuan was attracted by its name.
"It's called the Unsinkable Island?"
Such a strange name. Her horse was white, so she was called Bailu. Who would have imagined that a horse would have something to do with the island.
Han Luochen got on the horse, controlled the reins, and didn't let it run, and when Lan Qingchuan also got on the horse, he snorted lightly, quite self-deprecating and cold. His eyes were like dark ink droplets, which did not match a boy like him, as delicate and beautiful as cherry blossoms, and was in the prime of youth.
"Unsinkable Island...... Oh, it's just a delusion. ”
Since he was a child, he has carefully hidden a hope in his heart, wishing for the attention and warmth of his family. This little hope swelled day by day in the dark days of childhood, and it almost became a solid island in my heart. And to this day, the island has been sunk by loneliness and unwillingness to occupy it.
He was sentenced to death for an entire family, and he lacked the ability to match or even surpass his two older brothers. He was disqualified and had to be banished. When asked, how long had it been since he had seen his parents. Heh, he doesn't know.
