Chapter Thirty-Seven: Remembering the Fragrance in the Dream Again
The soft wind blew through my eardrums, and I slowly opened my eyes to find myself on the bed I knew all too well. My head didn't hurt as much as I thought, I sat up with my arms supporting my body, the window was slightly open, probably afraid that the kang would be too hot, and someone deliberately let the cool wind slowly in. I turned my head to look to the side, but I didn't see Ling Xin beside me, the door was closed, and there seemed to be a small sound of footsteps outside.
I took a deep breath and turned my head out the window again, I still remember the encounter with Qingya yesterday, and it seems that I was careless, and I returned to the gentle and comfortable night.
I finally decided to talk to her, no matter how it ends, after all, it is the girl I love the most, I put on the slippers, or the previous pair, get up and open the familiar door, remembering that night, Qingya pressed against my door, sticking to me, let me comment with her for a long time. I shook my head, quickly opened the door and walked out, Aunt Jinfang was preparing breakfast, Uncle Su Qi was reading the newspaper on the sofa next to him, Qingya was carrying a bucket of water and walked in from outside, seeing me turn my head awkwardly and lift the bucket to the stove in one breath.
I smiled awkwardly at her the moment they met, but it seemed that she didn't notice my move. I sighed softly, the scene was still the same scene, but the relationship seemed to be cold. I put on my coat, changed into shoes, and walked out, Ling Xin was watching the birds flying in the sky from a distance. I raised my head and looked in his direction, the birds in Camellia Township were slightly different from Ling Xin's village, as if there were more species, maybe it was less warm here, maybe there was more food.
"Hey."
Like an electric shock, we turned our heads, and the elegant, slanted bangs were caught in the breeze, drifting in the humid air.
I walked over to her.
I knew that if I didn't move, it would be her who came over, but this time it was different, I wanted to be the one who took the initiative, maybe I subconsciously felt ashamed of her.
"You... You okay? "I was a little nervous, and my voice was surprisingly small, and even I was taken aback. Emotions really can't be controlled, like the captain said one afternoon.
Qingya didn't speak, just looked at me quietly, her eyes full of tenderness, as if she hadn't seen me for many years, thinking about what happened to me in her mind. The woman with a look like a longing for her return poured out a thousand words, but they were stuck in her throat.
"You've lost weight." Qingya's brows furrowed slightly, and she slowly and gently ran her fingers across my face, I never knew that she missed me so much, and I realized that maybe she loved me more than I loved her.
I have indeed lost weight, and I am much more emaciated than I had been during the sea disaster, but I don't have time to think so much now. I lifted my left hand and held hers, my freshly soaked hand was as cold as ice. I don't know why my tears suddenly and slowly flowed out of my eyes, I hurriedly turned my head, Ling Xin looked at me from afar, frowning slightly.
"What's wrong?" Qingya's tone was still as gentle as just now, and he gently put his hand on my forearm, poked his head to look at me, I hurriedly touched my tears, and turned back. Seeing the look on my face just now, she seemed to be about to cry.
"It's okay," I cleared my throat, took another deep breath, smiled slightly, and said, "I just miss you a little." ”
Qingya also laughed, showed her usual naughty expression again, looked up at me and said, "How much do you want to?" Her expression was a little awkward, and I knew she was deliberately trying to soften the atmosphere. I turned to face her, my left hand tightened a little tighter, and said earnestly:
"I really want to."
She finally laughed happily, like a little girl who got candy, I gently hugged her, she was still her, and she saw happiness so simply, even if it was an eternal parting after that, as long as you said a little sweet words, she could laugh from the bottom of her heart. And I can only be me after all.
There was a sound of squirming footsteps from behind, I turned my head sideways, Ling Xin had already walked to my side, smiled and patted me on the shoulder, and walked straight into the house, just like a big brother. We hugged like this for a while, and there was a sound in the house calling us to eat, Qingya pushed me away with a red face, turned her head and ran into the house, and I followed slowly.
The dishes on the table are still mainly green vegetables, most of them are the dishes I said I loved here before, Uncle Su Qi lifted the wine glass and wanted to say a few words, but Ling Xin on the side had already stuffed the sea of nonsense, so that Uncle Su Qi and Aunt Jinfang couldn't help laughing, Ling Xin noticed that Uncle Su Qi, who was holding the cup, put the bowl on the table and wiped his mouth.
"I just like children like this, it's a blessing to be able to eat." Aunt Jinfang laughed as she put a few pieces of meat into his bowl.
Uncle Su Qi also smiled and said: "Let's eat as much as you like today, nothing else is enough to eat and be full, wait," he seemed to remember something, turned around and walked back to his room, and after a while came over with a pool of dusty wine jars: "This is what I kept for the Qingya wedding banquet, I am happy today, let's drink some together." With that, he opened the lid and sealed it.
"This can't be helped," I hurriedly stood up and fastened the lid that had been lifted: "The wine at the bottom of the box you pressed, we juniors can't take the turn to drink." ”
Uncle Su Qi shook his head with a smile and took my hand away: "Have you ever heard that life must be happy, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon?" He poured out a glass of wine: "This wine is drunk when people are happy, I thought about it, my daughter is married, I may not be so happy, it is better to drink it today while I am happy." Come! He stood up and poured the wine into my bowl, and I didn't dare to dodge, so I had to catch it with my bowl.
"I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself." When Uncle Su Qi was about to pour wine for Ling Xin, he hurriedly took the wine and poured himself a small half glass.
"You can drink it with confidence," Uncle Su Qi said with a smile: "Don't care, the wine is only valuable when it is drunk, and it is useless to put it there." ”
Aunt Jinfang and Qingya also poured a little each, and Uncle Su Qi raised the cup again, and his emotions seemed to be a little excited:
"Welcome to here, we older generations always have some stories..."He paused at this point, cleared his throat and said: "It is inconvenient for me to say, I hope you young people will not repeat the mistakes of the past, once you miss some opportunities, it will be too late to regret them." With that, he drank all the wine in his glass.
He looked down at the wine glass the whole time when he spoke, but I knew that he was talking to me, and the wine that was only taken out at weddings, coupled with these words, the fool also understood what he meant, and the story he was telling, I also knew that it was the one Qingya told.
