Chapter Twenty-Nine: The White Rose
White roses
Crazy life
"It's over, it's over, everyone has worked hard, there's no scene tonight, everyone is dating, let's have a good meal if you don't have a date." The director put away the walkie-talkie and patted Kita on the shoulder. "Would you like to go to dinner together?"
"I'm not going to do it, there's something going on." Kita took off his hair cover, scratched his head, and giggled.
"Dragged on?" The director looked at North with a gossipy face.
"No, I just heard that there is a lantern festival by the river, and I want to go and have a good time."
"Going to join in the fun alone?" At this time, Ao Ao changed his clothes and walked over, the director glanced at Ao Ao and raised his eyebrows at Bei, Bei lowered his head and coughed lightly, and his ears instantly turned red.
"The director has worked hard! Deng Bei, why don't you go to change your clothes? Isn't it hot? ”
"Just going, huh...... Then director, I'm going to change my clothes first. ”
Fleeing north, he also slipped into the dressing room.
"Director, what did you just say to that stupid boy? How did he look shy. ”
"Nothing, men's topic, do you have a date tonight?"
"I, no, my boyfriend is far away!"
"He should come to see you on Tanabata."
"He held a birthday party in advance today to meet the fans."
"On such an important day, I should accompany my girlfriend."
"There's no need, it's Valentine's Day every day. I'll go back first, director. Ao Ao said goodbye to the director, and suddenly felt lonely in his heart, this Qixi Festival, there are couples everywhere outside, and even the Weaver Girl Cowherd who is far away from the galaxy wants to meet on the Queqiao Bridge, and he obviously has a boyfriend, and he is still on the earth in China, but he can't see each other, bitter......
Kita hurriedly changed his clothes in the dressing room. "Brother Bei, the car is coming." He put the car keys on the dresser, buttoned the last button of his white shirt, picked up the keys and ran out.
"Eh, stay safe."
"Got it"
He He, as always, had dark circles under his eyes, lay down on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and began to chat with people. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to meet a beautiful woman during the good night and festival?
A jeep stopped outside the door, fastened his seat belt, looked in the rearview mirror, started the engine, operated the steering wheel smoothly with one hand, reversed steadily, and then shifted gears and drove out quickly with a throttle. Cars gallop on the road, more than one after another.
The setting sun hides behind the mountain, revealing half of the delicate face, The fiery red afterglow burns the clouds, soaks the air, and the sunset is colorful, like a brocade fluttering in the sky. The sun squandered the last bit of his life today, and drew himself into a brilliant golden thread, passing through the colorful glow, as if he wanted to use the net of light to live in the splendor of the whole sky.
North galloped on the highway, as if chasing the afterglow of the sunset, and the warm sunset sprinkled on his fair and handsome side face, glowing with bright yellow light. The evening wind poured in through the car window, blowing through his soft hair and the corners of his shirt. Before the last shimmers of the sunset faded, he stopped in front of a flower shop, put on his mask and hat, and walked in.
"Boss, I'll get the flowers I ordered."
"You are? Mr. Gong? ”
"Uh-huh"
"Okay, wait a minute." The owner went to get the flowers.
When night falls, the warm yellow street lamps outside the store are lit up, and the light shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows through the white veil softly on the colorful flowers, and many reeds and dried flowers hang around the crystal chandelier in the store.
North took a large handful of white roses from the boss's hand, purple gauze wrapped in light blue silk ties, pink stars as embellishments, the small water droplets on it were crystal clear, and the delicate sequins shone dreamily.
"101 white roses, I really envy that girl. I wish you and your lover a happy Tanabata and eternal happiness. ”
"Thank you." Kita said goodbye to his boss, put the flowers in the back seat, and shunted away.
North looked at his watch, and at a quarter past seven, it was a little too late. He stepped on the accelerator and the car set off like an arrow off the string.
"Mom, I'm done, I'll go next door to see what Deng Bei is doing, and go to play with him."
"Okay, it's rare to have a night off today, you can hang out together."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm going. ”
Ao wore a loose black shirt and stepped on slippers and walked out the door.
"Teacher Deng, are you there?" ...... "Teacher Deng?" ”
After knocking for a long time and no response, Ao Ao took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Bei
"Teacher Deng, why are you going?"
Strange, could it be that I went on a date?
"Teacher Deng, are you going to a night party?"
Ao Ao is confused, does he have a girl he likes? Definitely, no wonder Strange Strange has been absent-minded lately.
Thinking of this possibility, Ao Ao felt a little uncomfortable.
Ao was about to go back when his phone suddenly rang, an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Ms. Yang? You have flowers at the front desk, you come and get them. ”
"Flowers? I didn't buy flowers!" Ao Ao was full of doubts, and went to the front desk with a mask and slippers. The counter attendant took out a bouquet of flowers from the service desk.
"Wow~ such a big bouquet" Ao Ao's eyes widened in surprise, and a large bouquet of delicate red roses lined Ao Ao's face was ruddy and lovely. A Phnom Penh greeting card is hidden in a flower, and when it is opened, a sentence is printed on the printed board
"Little Monkey Purple, I love you. Happy Tanabata. Wildly. ”
The gray lead font is neat, but I always feel that there is a lack of tenderness. Ao Ao hugged the flower and could see it, and for a long time he held the flower into the elevator on the left and prepared to go back to the room......
Beiyi stopped the car and ran into the hotel, rushed into another elevator and paced anxiously, and the moment he got out of the elevator, he saw Ao Ao holding a handful of silver packaged flowers standing in the corridor looking for a room card...... It was given by Hu Tang, he was stunned in place, stupid, smiling bitterly and laughing at himself.
Ao Ao held the flower and touched the room card for a long time, and his mother didn't know where to go and no one answered when he knocked on the door, when he was depressed, he turned around and saw Bei standing stupidly at the elevator door in a white shirt, she was happy in her heart, put the flower to her side, and trotted to Deng Bei.
"You're here, I just came looking for you."
"What are you looking for me?" Kita's voice was hoarse, panting roughly.
"I'm looking for you to play. Where have you been? WeChat didn't reply to me, and I was sweating. Ao Ao reached out and stroked North's sweaty hair, and North's gaze moved from the flower to Ao's face.
"Are you looking for me?"
"Well, didn't you just say that?" Kita looked affectionately into Ao Ao's eyes, thinking twice, he suddenly grabbed Ao Ao's hand and pulled her into the elevator
"Come with me."
"Where are you going?"
"Don't ask so much, just follow me."
"But I'm still holding tweeds, and I haven't changed my clothes and I'm wearing slippers......"
"It's okay..."North looked at his watch repeatedly in the elevator, it was seven fifty, as soon as the elevator door opened, he took Ao Ao's hand and ran wildly to the parking place, Ao Ao ran a little swaying in his slippers and holding the flowers, the red rose was caught by Ao Ao, squeezed until the petals were deformed and cracked, running and running, and several of the cracked petals flew on the ground, leaving a short flower path behind the two.
Ao Ao looked at the hand that was holding his wrist tightly, for some reason, obviously she didn't know the way of the destination adventure, but she was inexplicably excited, excited but relieved. The warmth of Kita's palm penetrated her blood through her skin, with an inexplicable sense of security.
Kita pushed O'Ao into the passenger seat, bent down to buckle her seatbelt, and trotted to the driver's seat. After getting into the car, he glanced at Ao Ao, took a tissue and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and then set off. There are still 25 minutes to go, so you should be able to get there. North stepped on the accelerator and sped fast, Ao Ao leaned against the seat, skimming over the North who was seriously driving. I secretly sighed, oh my God, this man is so charming when he drives.
Driving north along the riverbank, Ao Ao saw the lights flickering on the riverbank square in the distance.
"Is there any activity there?"
"You'll find out when you go."
Minutes and seconds passed, and after 24 minutes of driving, Bei stopped in an open-air parking lot on the bank of the river. Below the parking lot is a wide river beach, on which colorful lights flicker, and people gathered, all holding lights in their hands, gathered together.
"Five, Four,......"
"Get out of the car," Ao said, putting the flower on the car seat and pushing the door to get out of the car.
"One"
At the moment when Ao Ao got out of the car, thousands of Kong Ming lanterns rose on the river beach below the parking lot, and the dense Kong Ming lanterns flew into the sky, converging into a sea of light above Ao Ao's head, Ao Ao covered his mouth in surprise and looked up at the brilliance of the sky.
Kita looked down at his watch again, 8:20, 20:20.
Luckily, it caught up.
Under the bright lights of the sky, Ao Ao's eyes shone with bright stars. Kita took out a handful of white roses from the back seat of the car and handed it to Ao Ao's eyes......
Zhang Ailing once compared the women that men love to red roses and white roses, and in the north heart, there has always been only this white rose, pure and beautiful, like the clear light of the bright moon, but also like white rice, no matter which one it is, it is indispensable in his life.
