Chapter 26: Mid-Autumn Festival
Tao Yao's hand was held tightly, and Lin Rui's strength in holding her was a little heavier than before, as if she would run away if he was not careful.
Tao Yao shrugged in his heart, let him go.
The two walked aimlessly for a while, and Tao Yao felt sleepy. In fact, she doesn't like to go out and walk around, and many times she would rather stay in her room and read idle books or lie down in a daze.
Of course, Lin Rui also knows her and knows her habits. So not long after, he took her into a restaurant with a very grand decoration.
At this time, Tao Yao sat in the box on the second floor and watched the people coming and going on the street, sighing slightly in her heart, as if everyone has their own life and responsibilities, how to escape and be alone?
She looked out the window nonchalantly, when suddenly a young man and a woman caught her eye and made her pay attention for a moment.
The man was about fifteen years old, and the woman was eleven or twelve. I saw the little girl tugging at the sleeve of the young man's coat, and said coquettishly: Brother, I want that.
The little girl pointed to the small stall of rock sugar gourds, her big eyes blinking, looking very longing. The girl is so cute, the young man sighed, touched her head and his eyes were full of love: I really can't help you, I have to buy sugar gourds every time I come out, and I said okay, I will go back to the house after buying it, otherwise my uncle will scold you again when he finds out that I secretly brought you out.
The little girl's little tiger teeth were exposed, and she smiled very happily, and rubbed his arm obediently: Got it! Brother, you're the best.
So, the boy took the little girl's hand to the sugar gourd stall, and after buying the sugar gourd, the boy took the little girl's hand, and the two left happily.
Tao Yao watched the two figures gradually walk away and disappear into the sea of people, a little trance-like.
Many years ago, there was such a pair of young men and women.
At that time, the innocent little girl would also pull the boy's sleeve, coquettish with him, let him take her down the mountain, and let him buy herself a lot of delicious and fun.
Although every time the teenager always said sternly: "Only once, not again." "But isn't it still the same as always spoiling her, following her again and again?
Childhood sweetheart, envious of others.
In those innocent times, they lived such innocent days.
It's just that later, she changed, and he changed.
She didn't dare to let him buy things for herself anymore, and she didn't dare to be coquettish with him anymore. He would take the initiative to give her a lot of things, and gradually, she didn't know if it was what she wanted, or if he wanted what she wanted.
Later, she became afraid of him, and the more she understood, the more she came into contact with him, the more afraid she became.
In fact, what even she can't figure out is that she is not actually afraid of him, but just afraid that she will become the same person as him.
A lot of childhood memories suddenly appeared in front of Tao Yao, and the teenager at that time jokingly said a lot of words, and she remembered them all.
"You've eaten so much, you've grown white and fat, like a little pig."
"Your monthly money is going to be eaten by you."
"You practice hard this month, and I'll take you out."
"Let's go back quickly, or the master will find out."
……
In fact, when they were young, they had a lot of good memories, and it turned out that all these were engraved in Tao Yao's mind, and in the bottom of their hearts, they never forgot them.
For so many years, she thought she was indifferent enough, and when the memories came back, she realized how embarrassed she was.
"Young." Lin Rui's call made her suddenly pull out of her memories.
He was very helpless: "Why is it still so easy to be in a daze!" ”
Tao Yao brushed away the distracting thoughts in her heart, and tried to look at Lin Rui indifferently, only to see that he was looking at her with a smile on his face.
Tao Yao had to say that he was hairy by his eyes, this Lin Rui is really weird, a Mid-Autumn Festival energy saving makes him happy to look like this, strange!
In a moment when she was in a daze, Lin Rui had already ordered a meal.
Not long after, the shopkeeper served one dish after another, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised tenderloin, braised lion's head, boiled fish fillet, etc., all of which were Taoyao's "heart meat".
Tao Yao looked at the dishes on the table, stunned, very satisfied in her heart, and unconsciously smiled. Lin Rui knows her so well.
She unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and feasted on them.
To be honest, the chef's skills in this restaurant are really good, but they are still not as good as Fu Bo, the habit is very terrible, and Tao Yao's mouth has long been raised by Fu Bo.
Lin Rui, who was beside her, looked at her with a doting face, skillfully sandwiched the meat into her bowl, and whispered, "Eat slowly." ”
Tao Yao had to admit that the man in front of her was very good-looking, and he was very attentive and patient to her many times. If she flickered her eyes for a moment, I am afraid that she would pounce on him like a moth without hesitation.
As the sky gets darker, there are more and more pedestrians on the street, and the street is still lively at night, at this time, the whole street is lit up, and a pair of pedestrians are carrying a lantern in their hands, which is very suitable for the occasion.
After the meal, Lin Rui led her to walk by the Yunxi River, the beautiful scenery of the good day, I don't know what a pair of beautiful people this should be.
But Tao Yao knew in her heart that everything was just a superficial behavior, for so many years, she had become accustomed to being alone with Lin Rui, as long as she didn't challenge each other's bottom line, they could still get along harmoniously, but Tao Yao knew that she could no longer be coquettish to him like she used to.
The two walked side by side, Lin Rui was in a good mood, and Tao Yao's heart slowly lost its waves, after all these years, she was strong enough.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind: "Brother Lin, Miss Yaoyao." ”
The people who came were Gu Xianzhi and Mrs. Gu.
The displeasure on Lin Rui's face was fleeting, and he said lightly: "Qiao." ”
"Lin Gongzi and Miss Yaoyao came out to visit the Lantern Festival on purpose?" Mrs. Gu was carrying a lantern and seemed to be in a good mood.
"We're just going to go out and walk around." Tao Yao answered.
"Hahaha, we also just finished eating from my father-in-law's and then came out for a walk." Gu Xianzhi also said happily.
Mrs. Gu was warmly invited: "We are also half the host in Yunxi, the Mid-Autumn Festival is so lively, the most famous thing in Yunxi is the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, and the king of the hundred lights, why don't you two go with us to see." ”
Although Tao Yao was not very interested in listening, she didn't want to brush off the kindness of others, so she said politely: "Okay, I have heard of this king of hundred lights a long time ago, and I am fortunate to have a glimpse of it today." ”
Lin Rui also replied pretendically: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
As a result, the pairs became foursome. With Gu Xianzhi joining, the atmosphere has become very different, and sure enough, with this squeaky man, there is no shortage of excitement anywhere.
