Chapter 2
It was dark and the rain had stopped. The original vast and beautiful scenery has now become a dark and boundless world. The sky was clear again, with remnant clouds and a few stars hanging scattered. Following the headlights, You Mingxu could tell that this was a dusky land, full of undulating rocks and mounds, a bit of Yadan landform. There are also lakes scattered among them. The surface of the lake glows with a quiet blue light in the night.
After driving for so long, Gu Tiancheng was still focused and calm. You Mingxu thought that such a night, with such a man, driving on the endless wasteland road, turned out to be a bad thing.
"Is it cold?" Gu Tiancheng asked.
As soon as it gets dark, the temperature drops faster. You Mingxu clenched his arms. Holding the steering wheel with one hand, he turned and took a coat from the back seat and placed it in her arms. It was a dark gray men's jacket, clean and slightly cool. You Mingxu didn't bother to take off his seat belt, and put his two arms in, his clothes covered his body, and the hem reached his knees, so he only showed his head outside.
Gu Tiancheng smiled and said, "Like a child." ”
You Mingxu said: "I'm twenty-five. ”
"That's two years younger than me," he said. ”
You Mingxu didn't speak, her face moved casually, and she wiped it on the collar of her coat, a little hard fabric, with a smell of men's perfume that she didn't expect. You Mingxu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Gu Tiancheng.
"How long will it take to get to the Tibetan people's homes?" She asked.
Gu Tiancheng replied: "I'm not sure, there were around here two years ago." Let's keep driving and try our luck. ”
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Tiancheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want to listen to the song?" ”
You Mingxu said, "Okay." ”
I thought he was going to turn on the radio, or connect to the Bluetooth of his mobile phone, but he didn't expect him to clear his throat, put one hand on his thigh, and start to beat. Then start humming. The man didn't sing the lyrics, but hummed in a deep and clear voice. It's a well-known ballad about getting out of the city and going far away.
Listening to him hum seriously for a while, You Mingxu couldn't help but laugh. Gu Tiancheng squinted at her, with a slightly lazy expression, but the eyes were full of brilliance and fragmented streamers, showing a bit of childishness.
"What? Doesn't sound good? He asked.
You Mingxu shook his head defiantly: "Why don't you say that you are a singing champion?" ”
Gu Tiancheng also smiled, and his voice was low: "Then you come." ”
You Mingxu replied: "I don't." I've never sung. That's why I don't offer ugliness. ”
The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, his fingers tapped on the steering wheel, and the whole person looked more relaxed and casual. You Mingxu couldn't help but notice that the dark side of his face in the night, from his forehead to the bridge of his nose, to the line of his chin, was very clear and clear. She remembered that she had read in a book that people with such looks were mostly tough-willed and stubborn.
He said, "Since you don't want to sing, and you don't like me to sing, you can only listen to the radio." He flipped a few buttons, and after a short faint sound of electricity, he arrived at the music station, where a melodious piece of music was playing.
Both listened quietly.
The surrounding night seemed to be darkening, and the scenery on both sides of the road was completely unclear. The car seems to plunge headlong into a deeper and farther world.
"If you're tired, sleep for a while." Gu Tiancheng said.
You Mingxu replied: "I don't want to sleep." ”
"I'm here, rest assured." He whispered.
You Mingxu was silent for a moment, a slightly bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Gu Tiancheng, I've only known you for two hours. ”
He said, "So what? ”
You Mingxu said: "Are you a good person? Can I count on you? ”
Gu Tiancheng looked silent and said, "Judge for yourself." ”
After a while, I heard her whisper, "You are a good person." ”
However, they were not the only two who were delayed by the wind and rain on this night.
In the distance, I saw a cyclist on the side of the road, waving desperately at them. Judging by his stature, he is a tall man. Not only waved, but also jumped a few times.
Gu Tiancheng's car slowed down. You Mingxu noticed that his expression was calm, and he frowned slightly and stared at the man, as if he was observing. You Mingxu said: "You actually don't want to take a hit, right? ”
Gu Tiancheng furrowed his brows and glanced at her.
You Mingxu's lips curled slightly: "I wanted to take a ride before, and you were a little embarrassed." You almost died, right? ”
Gu Tiancheng smiled and said, "It's not that you can't save yourself when you die." If you want people to take a ride all this way, you can't take it. I came out this time, I originally wanted to take a vacation to relax, and I originally wanted to drive slowly by myself, and drive wherever I wanted. Sleeping in a car or in a tent is fine. ”
You Mingxu understood very well and said again: "Thank you." ”
Gu Tiancheng looked ahead: "I'm happy to let you ride." ”
You Mingxu almost blurted out "why", but he couldn't help it. Subconsciously, I don't want to ask.
The car had stopped beside the man.
The man took off his helmet, and he was a very young boy, in his early twenties. The hair is a bit long and almost covers the eyes. The skin is fair, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are thick. He leaned on the window of the car and smiled brightly: "Dude, do you want to take a ride?" On this big night, I really can't ride, I'm tired and hungry, take me for a while, okay? ”
After speaking, he glanced at You Mingxu. You Mingxu also saw the pair of eyes with some mist behind the long bangs, as if he was smiling.
Gu Tiancheng asked, "Where are you going?" ”
The boy said a place name, and before You Mingxu could figure out which route the place name was on in his mind, Gu Tiancheng had already shook his head: "We don't have the same path." There should be a Tibetan home not far ahead, and you can get there by yourself after a while. ”
The boy said, "No, I really can't ride at all." Rest assured, I'm not a bad person, I'm a student at XX University. And I promise I won't disturb your two-person world! Just take me to a Tibetan house and stay overnight! If I ride it any more, my leg will really break. I'm begging you, don't leave me here, in case I'm killed by a serial killer who is wandering the road, how pathetic......"
Gu Tiancheng frowned slightly: "What's the mess?" ”
Suddenly, I felt that someone was holding my arm, it was You Mingxu, looking at him, he was actually amused by the kid outside the car, and whispered, "Let him take a ride." ”
Before Gu Tiancheng could speak, the kid outside the car had already heard it and said, "Wow, did you hear what your girlfriend said?" Of course, real men have to listen to women. ”
At this time, even Gu Tiancheng's eyes were filled with laughter, and You Mingxu said, "I'm not his girlfriend." He nodded lightly to Gu Tiancheng again.
Gu Tiancheng suddenly felt that the kid outside the car was not so boring and eyesore. She was right, he thought. The two have only known each other for more than two hours. But in getting along with each other, there seems to be some kind of subtle tacit understanding.
"Alright, don't drag me, listen to you." He whispered to her, turned to the outside of the car and said, "Get in the car." ”
