Chapter 243: Swimming in the Lake
That night, I slept with Ding Ying's grandfather on an old wooden bed and didn't sleep for a long time.
No, it's not me who recognizes the bed. It's not that I dislike Ding Ying's grandfather. Not these objective reasons.
Ding Ying's grandfather is as kind and kind as Grandpa Hao, how can I hate to sleep in the same bed with him? I remember when I was thirteen years old, when my parents were "invited" by the cadres of the Luwan Brigade to "study" in the brigade, it was Grandpa Hao who slept in a bed with me.
It's also that old wooden bed. There were two very thick sawn pine piers, about fifteen centimeters thick and thirty centimeters wide. Sleeping in this kind of bed is like going back to my childhood, how can I recognize the bed?
I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about Ding Ying's temptation.
Ding Ying is so tempting, but the flesh ring spirit does not flash, what does it portend?
Just like what I thought about alone before, or analyzed with Ding Ying, when I had intimate physical contact with the opposite sex, the flesh ring flashed in order to maintain the promise I made to Hao Junqi when I was thirteen years old, which means that Hao Junqi is still in this world, which means that Hao Junqi and I will meet again, although I don't know what day it is.
Now, the flesh ring does not flash, so what does that portend? …… On the bright side, Hao Junqi has given up the promise she made back then, and the flesh ring spirit does not need to be maintained anymore, so I can accept Ding Ying's love, and I can love Ding Ying without any scruples.
On the bad side, isn't it, isn't it, could it be that Hao Junqi is no longer in this world?
As soon as I thought about it, my tears flowed incessantly. Tears flowed down my neck, dripping down the straw mat, and dripping on the brand new pillow that Grandma Ding Ying had specially prepared for me.
No matter what, God! In any case, please don't be like that! Please don't give such an arrangement, God!
It's been twelve years, and Hao Junqi and I haven't seen each other for twelve years, how can you bear to make this arrangement?
There was nothing left. There was no sound, no image, plus the whole village was submerged in water, and there was not even a trace of it.
God has the virtue of a good life. I don't think you're going to be so cruel. You know, Hao Junqi and I spent our entire childhood together, leaving so many good memories, most importantly, I promised to go to see her. I want to see her too.
She is the one who has been with me in life and death. I'm the one she's been connected to.
We are the ones who say goodnight to each other every night!
So, God, how could you still make such an arrangement, so that we will be separated forever, and life and death will not continue?
This has nothing to do with me and Ding Ying falling in love. This does not contradict me and Ding Ying falling in love.
Didn't I fall in love with Xiong Yanfei?
Isn't it normal to love or be loved in such passionate years? If I can't love, you can remind me, just like you reminded me when Xiong Yanfei and I were about to go "deeper".
I can accept it, I can accept anything, as long as you don't arrange it so cruelly.
You may say, on the other hand, aren't you cruel to Ding Ying? Aren't you going to put Ding Ying in endless pain?
Yes, it's not just her pain. I'm also in pain. But in any case, we are mentally prepared for this, and we are just waiting for your verdict. As long as it's not this arrangement!
I don't want it, I don't want it.
Please, God, merciful God, go back to the former assumption. Let Hao Junqi forget the promise she once made. Let's all get back to normal.
You can also continue to keep your promises. Then let the flesh ring manifest.
As long as it's not this arrangement.
……
I struggled with it until I finally fell asleep because I was too tired.
The next day we returned to Huangbai City.
Ding Ying took me to every street and alley in Huangbai City.
We have gone to several big supermarkets in Huangbai City, not afraid of it far, we have time. In the eyes of young people who love each other, crowding the bus is a romantic process. When it was crowded, it was impossible to even stand on the sidelines, regardless of the location, so we grabbed the ring and communicated with our eyes from a distance.
It seems that the eye can convey words, can convey pictures, and we can always understand what the other person wants to express.
When there was a place on the bus, we sat by the window, or I sat by the window or Ding Ying sat by the window, one leaning on the other's shoulder, staring at the moving scenery outside the window.
If Ding Ying was tired, she would hold my arm, rest her head on my shoulder, and close her eyes to recuperate.
The test of hitting half of the tower was successful, and the pimple in Ding Ying's heart was completely eliminated, and the distance between her and me was getting closer and closer.
In fact, going to the mall is just an excuse for us to go out. We don't necessarily have to buy anything. Sometimes, we took the bus for an hour or two to get to the door of the mall, and we didn't even want to go in.
However, I went to the mall a few times and bought some things. Ding Ying gave me a watch and replaced my electronic watch, which had been used for several years. I gave Ding Ying a bracelet.
Ding Ying also chose a set of clothes for me, saying that her aunt specially ordered me, so I had a new set of clothes.
We also made a special trip to the Xinhua bookstore and bought a medical book and a book called "Insulted and Damaged" by Dostoevsky.
Of course, the most frequented are the cinemas. We watched several movies. That's a really pleasant thing. We grabbed the bits and pieces we liked to eat, sat in each other's arms, and rejoiced or wept together for our master. I remember a movie called "Mom, Love Me Again", and I don't know how many tears it "tricked" us.
On our last night in Cork City, we went to the park to visit the lake.
Having such a quiet place in a bustling metropolis is really a great favor from God to the people of Huangbai City.
The park's ego can't get precise data to back it up, but I know that if you walk along the trail, you probably won't be able to walk it for half a day.
Patches of forests used to be patches of grassland, and patches of grasslands used to be patches of flowers, in the words that later people liked to use, this is really a natural oxygen bar place.
Especially in such a summer, no matter which direction you look at, it is full of flowers and greenery, after you are full of tall and emotionless buildings, after your ears are full of the roar of cars and the roar of machines, it suddenly appears in front of your eyes, how do you not feel that it is a favor from God?
It doesn't matter if the street lights are dim, and it doesn't matter if the moonlight is foggy, because lovers love this hazy feeling the most.
It was Ding Ying who leaned closer to me and pulled my arm tighter. In the past few days, Ding Ying's "male orientation" has been indifferent, showing all the feminine softness and gentleness.
Not far away, a body of water. A log cabin on the shore. The lights in front of the cabin are on. The small bugs flying around the lamp are clearly visible. There were a number of people who stayed there.
When I looked closer, I found that the cabin was a ticket office for swimming in the lake. Connecting to the cabin is an open corridor, at the end of which is a passage to the water, a line of steps that descend. Near the water, there are small wooden boats with open tops.
Men and women in pairs walked towards the small wooden boat.
Ding Ying and I bought tickets, crossed the passage, and went down the steps to the prick. An caretaker untied a small wooden boat, let us onboard, and handed us the oars.
It's a big body of water. No wind. The surface of the water is like a mirror.
The evening breeze blew, and layers of ripples slowly spread out in all directions. You won't believe it, in late July, here, on the water, you're going to feel cool.
Compared to the temperature in the city, it is five or six degrees lower.
Surrounded by willows. The willow tree of more than ten years has the thickness of a tea bowl, and the open branches stretch diagonally into the air and then hang down, like mushrooms. The slender wicker swayed leisurely in the air, a mockery of the hurried backs of urbanites.
No matter how impetuous a person is, his heart will be at peace when he arrives here.
I paddled slowly and the boat slowly moved forward so that we could fully appreciate the tranquility and beauty of the lake.
There was also the sound of frolicking. It was sent by other people who traveled to the lake. But such noise cannot spoil the tranquility and beauty of the lake. The water is so wide, this frolic is nothing.
Paddle to the center of the lake, look at the wide and tranquil water around you, and suddenly feel like you have become part of the magical waters, and you feel like you are a part of the lake, an indispensable part of the scenery.
As a result, the heart became more and more tranquil.
I simply put the oars on the board and let the small wooden boat float on the water. What I need is to sit with Ding Ying, let her head rest on my shoulder, let her body fragrance disturb my thoughts, and let the wind gently blow on our faces.
In this way, we can all experience the happiness and carefree peace of being surrounded by love.
"Set sail." Ding Ying spoke.
"Hmm." I stroked Ding Ying's short hair.
"I don't even want to talk and destroy this peace."
"Me too."
"I feel so happy and happy at this moment. So resting on your shoulders, so carefree. ”
"We want to be so happy all the time." I say.
"Hmm." Ding Ying's tone conveyed a lazy tone, "But you're leaving tomorrow." Can't you play a few more days? ”
"I want to stay here too, and I don't want to leave."
"I believe it."
"But what was planned had to be done. You know I've always had a plan. It's August. I'm going to settle down and learn something for a month. "I had already made a plan to go back to the college in August to study medical knowledge.
"You've already told me. I'm also conflicted. I know I can't be too selfish, but I really like the feeling of being with you. ”
"Also, maybe there will be some eyebrows about your father's affairs this month. It is necessary to go to the procuratorate from time to time. I said.
"Hmm. I just hate myself for not being able to go along. ”
"The so-called loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. These are the only days you can spend time with your mother. However, you can come to school a little earlier. "Accompanying her mother during the holidays has been Ding Ying's habit for so many years. Ding Ying's mother has not remarried since the divorce.
"It's a good idea. I tried to come a week early. ”
"Maybe you'll be coming over in a few days," I comforted Ding Ying, "Aren't you going to come over as soon as your father's affairs become known?" ”
"But I still want to spend time with my mother."
