036. Let's go on a trip together

Deep Blue Base,Fang Shi still insists on what can almost be called a templated life,Except for the necessary morning exercises、Sleep and other fixed time,Most of the other time is spent in the research and development laboratory of the mecha design group,Although he does not have a specific work task now,But he will still try to find something that can be caught in busy,So time seems to pass faster。

In a flash, a few days passed quietly.

Fang Shi took the initiative to contact Xia Na and agreed on the place and time of the meeting, but he had not seen each other for seven days, and it seemed that he and Xia Na had tacitly agreed to meet at the same time.

The meeting place is a restaurant near the exclusive area that can only be mechanical, which is where the two first met at the Deep Blue Base.

Since there were no specific work requirements, Fang Shi left the exclusive area of the mecha design team earlier than usual, arrived at the agreed restaurant early, and sat down at a window position on the second floor of the restaurant, waiting for Xia Na's arrival.

At the appointed time, Xia Na arrived at the restaurant on time and sat down opposite Fang Shi, with a faint smile on her beautiful face.

After a few words of greeting, Fang Shi asked softly, "What do you want to eat today?" ”

Xana was not polite, and replied: "Black tea and matcha Moss will do." ”

Fang Shi nodded slightly, then got up and walked towards the food platform.

Soon, he walked back with a plate and placed the black tea and matcha moss in front of Xana, while he himself took the two items of food at random.

Xiana picked up the cup, took a sip of black tea, and then asked seemingly casually, "Isn't the mecha design team already on vacation?" You're not going to leave the Deep Blue base. Going for a walk on land? ”

In fact, when she learned that Fang Shi was still staying in the dark blue base, Xia Na was quite surprised. In her opinion, a one-month long vacation is extremely rare. It would be a shame to just stay at the Deep Blue base.

A hint of loneliness flashed on Fang Shi's face, and he replied calmly, "It seems that there is no place to go." ”

Xia Na stared at Fang Shi, and his fleeting loneliness naturally did not escape her eyes, her heart fluctuated slightly, it was a touch of loneliness and loneliness that made her feel a faint loneliness and loneliness, and also made her faintly worried.

The extremely regular meeting with Fang Shi can be said to be the biggest change in her in the past year, and she is also clearly aware of the delicate relationship between the two, especially in the three months that Fang Shi left the Deep Blue Base with the mecha design team not long ago, she was surprised to find that she was a little unaccustomed. Without meeting Fang Shi, she felt as if something was missing in her life all of a sudden.

In the middle of the night, she would think of him inadvertently.

Is he okay?

Could he be a little unaccustomed to it?

Will he miss me?

……

Xana felt as if she had unwittingly fallen into a special trap, which she knew was but she seemed to be tempted to step on it.

In the face of Fang Shi's seemingly calm answer, Xia Na did not continue to dwell on the question, but took the initiative to shift the topic to light-hearted things, what she wanted to see was the smile of the man opposite.

Time flows quietly in a seemingly relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Towards closing, Fang Shi and Xia Na walked out of the restaurant unhurriedly.

And then. The two chose to walk back to the accommodation area on foot. Along the way, the light-hearted topic continued.

The two of them seemed to be walking much slower than usual, walking for an hour to get back to the dormitory, almost twenty minutes slower than usual.

A familiar fork in the dormitory. The two stopped.

Xana took a deep breath and said with some hesitation, "That...... That's, ashlar. Do you have time tomorrow night? ”

Fang Shi nodded and said, "There is time." ”

Xana continued, "Then we'll see you tomorrow night at the old place. ”

Fang Shi pouted slightly, and subconsciously said, "Okay." ”

Xana was a little apprehensive. It seems that she took the initiative to break the convention of meeting between the two, but. On the surface, she still said casually: "See you tomorrow, good night!" ”

Fang Shi replied, "See you tomorrow, good night!" ”

With that, Xana walked briskly in the direction of her residence.

Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, Fang Shi seemed to react, with some joy in his heart, some expectation, and a trace of contradiction.

……

In the evening of the next day, Fang Shi arrived at the restaurant early, sat down by the window on the second floor, took a cup of hot tea, and waited quietly.

Compared to the previous punctuality, Xana came late today, nearly an hour late.

Xia Na showed a slight apology and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there's something wrong, it's night." ”

Fang Shi shook his head lightly and smiled slightly, "It's okay." ”

Soon, Fang Shi brought dinner for two from the food platform.

The two of them enjoyed their dinner unhurriedly, while talking seemingly relaxed.

After enjoying dinner, Xia Na took a sip of warm black tea gently, and then said calmly: "Fang Shi, I took half a month's annual leave, starting tomorrow." ”

Fang Shi was a little stunned, paused for a few seconds, seemed to react, and said, "Oh...... Well, are you leaving the base tomorrow? ”

Xia Na did not answer Fang Shi's question directly, but said unhurriedly: "I plan to travel, to see the mountains, to see the water, to see the grassland......"

Fang Shi listened with some sneer.

Xana paused and continued, "If you have time, let's go together." ”

Regarding inviting Fang Shi to go on a trip together, Xia Na was not improvised, she had already thought about it before coming to the restaurant, the reason why she was nearly an hour late today was due to the handover of work, after all, this vacation was not two or three days, but lasted half a month. As for the decision to take annual leave, it was a bit sudden, and she only had such an idea during the meeting with Fang Shi last night, although Fang Shi looked no different from usual on the surface, but from some details that were occasionally inadvertently revealed, she could still detect that the other party was a little depressed. So she had the urge to accompany him on a land trip, and today she has turned that impulse into reality. An invitation to travel was sent to Fangshi.

Time is not an issue for ashlar. A month's long vacation for the mecha design team is completely sufficient.

"Let's travel together!"

Fang Shi was slightly stunned, just now he was still a little lost in his heart, Xia Na was about to leave Deep Blue for a while, but in the blink of an eye, he received an olive branch from the blue-haired girl.

Seeing Fang Shi's slightly stunned expression, a trace of blush flashed on Xia Na's clear face, although she thought she was a calm and calm person, but this was the first time she had made such a request to a man, and she still had some special factors in her decision to travel together.

There was a brief moment of astonishment. Fang Shi had a faint illusion, he felt that Xia Na's sudden travel plan seemed to have something to do with him, he had never heard the other party talk about vacation before this, it seemed too sudden.

Looking at the fleeting blush on Xana's delicate face, his heart trembled slightly, at that moment, maybe the blue-haired girl didn't even know that she was so moving.

Fang Shi felt an urge to lean forward and take a bite.

Seeing that Fang Shi didn't respond for a long time, Xia Na's sensitive heart gradually rose a little lost, could it be that everything was just her wishful thinking?

Just when the loss in Xana's heart was rapidly fermenting. Fang Shi spoke: "Okay." ”

Xana's frustration quickly dissipated, and she mumbled.

Subsequently, the two had a more detailed discussion on the specific trip.

The meeting didn't last as long as it used to, shortly after dinner. The two walked out of the cafeteria and walked towards the dormitory, which added up to less than two hours. It seems to be in a hurry.

Back at his lodgings, Fang Shi began to pack his belongings. He had already made a pact with Xana and would set off from the Deep Blue base tomorrow. Head to land and embark on a journey that belongs to him and her.

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Fang Shi and Xana arrived at the base dock.

In the seventh area of the pier, Qiao Shanmu looked at the two of them in surprise, obviously he didn't expect that Fang Shi, who had been in the dark blue base for less than a year, had already been sticky with Xia Na in the dark blue sisters, and at the same time of greeting, he secretly gave Fang Shi a strange look, and reminded: "Young people should hurry up!" ”

However, his hint seemed to be ignored by Fang Shi, which made him shake his head secretly.

Soon, Fangshi and Xana boarded the ship heading to land.

More than ten hours later, the two arrived at the land port.

Since it was already night on land, Fangshi and Xana spent the night in an inn in a town near the port.

Early the next morning, the two officially began his journey with her.

Regarding the specific travel route, Fangshi and Xiana have already planned, to be exact, Xiana has planned, although Fangshi has been to the dark blue base for almost a year, but the situation on the dark blue land is basically unknown.

The first stop of the two of them was an ancient town more than 100 kilometers away from the harbor town, which seemed to have a lot of historical monuments and was still quite famous on the Deep Blue Planet.

That morning, Fang Shi and Xia Na arrived at the ancient town of Reya.

The two of them toured all kinds of ancient and strange buildings in Reya Town, felt the charm of the ancient town, and bought some things they liked.

In the evening, in a traditional old-fashioned theater, Fang Shi and Xia Na watched a rather poignant love movie, which is a legendary love story in the ancient town of Reya, where the hero and heroine finally come together. I have to admit that a well-timed love movie still triggered some special chemistry, and the hands of the two people watching the movie held hands together at some point and clasped them tightly together, and it was not until the end of the movie that the two parted quite awkwardly.

The two stayed in the ancient town of Reya for two days before leaving, heading to their next travel destination, a tourist attraction called Baiye Lake.

Baiye Lake is a large lake formed by more than 100 lakes of different sizes, and the shape of the whole large lake resembles a huge leaf, so it took this special name.

Fang Shi and Xia Na did not visit all the scenic spots of Baiye Lake, but only picked some of them, such as rafting on the lake, water parks, and so on.

After the previous trip to the hot pressing ancient town, Fang Shi gradually let go of his mood and left all those negative feelings behind. Immersed in a wonderful trip, he loves to see the heartfelt smiles of blue-haired girls.

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Lake Shutter. A wonderful treat indeed.

In the blink of an eye, two days flew by.

Fang Shi and Xana left the lake according to their scheduled travel plan. Headed to the next planned location, which was a mountain, a tall mountain.

In the evening, the two arrived at the service area at the foot of Chongding Mountain.

The purpose of this trip is to climb to the top of Chongding Mountain to watch the sunrise, and the two of them are lucky, the weather is just right, as long as you climb to the top of the mountain in advance, you should be able to see the sunrise.

In the service area at the foot of the mountain, Fang Shi and Xia Na did not rush up the mountain, but made some active preparations.

Eleven o'clock in the evening. The two of them, who were well prepared, began to climb the mountain.

The road up the mountain is made up of stone steps, and there are more than 7,000 stone steps from the service area at the foot of the mountain to the peak of the mountain, and there are street lights along the way, so climbing at night is not a problem.

Walking the stone steps is easy for Fangshi, who insists on exercising almost every day.

However, Xia Na obviously overestimated her physical strength, and she had only just walked up two or three hundred stone steps before she was already gasping for air. Fortunately, there are already hiking poles in the service area at the foot of the mountain, which can save her strength a little.

After five hundred stone steps, there were obviously a lot of beads of sweat on Xana's forehead.

Fang Shi didn't even take a breath of air, and still walked smoothly. However, he still deliberately suppressed his pace, trying to follow the rhythm of Xana's steps.

Seven or eight hundred stone steps, Xiana was already drenched in sweat. Panting for air.

Looking at the blue-haired girl who was wiping her sweat from time to time, Fang Shi proposed, "Xana." If you don't stop, it's still early anyway. We are also in no hurry to climb to the top of the mountain. ”

Xia Na shook her head stubbornly, gasped and said, "No, I still have strength, we are only about one-tenth of it now." ”

Fang Shi nodded slightly, but didn't continue to say anything.

The two continued towards the top of the mountain.

An hour later, the two of them had climbed almost 2,000 steps, without rest along the way, only stopping occasionally to rehydrate.

Fang Shi was still walking lightly, an hour of stone steps was almost nothing to him, and besides, he was deliberately suppressing his pace, if his speed was now, he should have climbed at least three thousand stone steps.

The bangs on Xana's forehead were already soaked with sweat, and the sweat was still flowing, and her breathing was obviously a little disordered.

Fang Shi followed Xia Na's side closely, he didn't continue to propose the other party to rest, because he knew that even if he proposed to rest, it was estimated that Xia Na would not agree, in a way, the two of them were still quite similar, and they both had their own stubbornness, so he could control his pace and follow each other closely.

"Ah......h

Suddenly, Xana's body suddenly slowed, and she let out a soft cry of pain in her mouth.

Fang Shi immediately stepped forward to help him and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Xana endured the pain in her ankle and whispered, "My foot seems to be broken." ”

As she spoke, Xana forcibly tried another injured foot, and immediately there were bursts of piercing pain.

Fang Shi showed a hint of worry on his face, and said quickly: "You sit down first, I'll help you take a look." ”

Xia Ya nodded lightly and sat down according to her words.

Fang Shi quickly squatted down, and carefully took off the shoes and socks of Xia Na's injured foot, then gently grabbed her white and smooth calf and put it on his own leg, and gently pressed the position of the other party's ankle with his hand, and asked, "Is this place painful?" ”

Xia Na's cheeks were slightly flushed, although she was not a girl who had never been in the world, but Fang Shi's series of movements still made her feel a little strange, and her heartbeat couldn't help but suddenly speed up a little.

Looking at Fang Shi with a serious face, Xia Na nodded slightly.

Subsequently, Fang Shi carefully inspected Xia Na's injured ankle, he still had some experience in this area, and soon he made a judgment that Xia Na's foot was not a big problem, and she should be fine after a day or two of rest, but it was best not to walk forcibly for the time being, otherwise it was very likely to aggravate the ankle injury.

Fang Shi gently massaged Xia Na's injured ankle with his hand, and comforted: "It's okay, there should be no problem after resting for a day or two, but I'm afraid you can't continue walking now." ”

"Can't walk?" Xana's slightly flushed face sank slightly.

Fang Shi said: "Well, you can't walk for the time being, if you force yourself to walk." There is a high risk of aggravating the injury. ”

Xia Na looked at the top of the mountain, and said with some loss and reluctance: "That...... Then we won't be able to go up. ”

Fang Shi looked at Xia Na, who was full of unwillingness. Secretly shook his head, the other party at this time did not think about the injured foot. But still thinking about the top of the mountain, he really didn't know what to say.

There was silence for a few seconds before Fang Shi asked, "Do you really want to see the sunrise?" ”

Xana nodded subconsciously, but she shook her head at the thought of her injured foot.

Looking at Xia Na's obviously lost appearance, Fang Shi felt pity, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the other party's head, but when he first touched those blue hairs, he seemed to realize something. He immediately withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and said seemingly calmly: "It's okay, I'll just carry you up."

Xia Na's expression was quite complicated, just now Fang Shi suddenly stretched out the hand on her head made her a little surprised, it was like an intimate action similar to a father comforting his daughter, which made her slightly panicked, but the other party seemed to realize that this action seemed to be too intimate at that moment, until she heard Fang Shi's words, she seemed to react. said: "Forget it, it's not a third of the way to the top of the mountain." ”

Fang Shi didn't give Xia Na too much chance to refute, carefully helped Xia Na put on her shoes and socks, and then picked Xia Na on her back. Walked firmly in the direction of the top of the mountain.

Although Xana initially opposed Fang Shi's decision, she finally chose to give in in in the face of Fang Shi's slightly tough attitude. Lying quietly on the broad back, his hands gently wrapped around each other's necks. Listen to the breathing of the man in front of him, who is gradually becoming a little heavy.

With Xia Ya on his back, Fang Shi instead accelerated the pace of progress. Xia Ya's weight is less than 100 pounds, which does not have much impact on him, and it is still not difficult to climb to the top of the mountain.

Time passed quickly with one firm step after another.

Fangshi always maintained an almost uniform pace of progress, and every step seemed to have a very regular rhythm, like a circular note.

Perhaps because she was tired, Xana fell asleep unconsciously.

Feeling the sound of Xia Na's well-proportioned breathing, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fang Shi's mouth.

At three o'clock in the morning, Fang Shi carried Xia Na on his back and finally arrived at the peak of the mountain.

Guanri Peak is an open and flat place, with dozens of people sitting here and there, some of whom have set up tents, and some of them have faintly snoring, apparently they are also here to watch the sunrise.

Perhaps because Fang Shi stopped climbing the mountain very regularly, Xana opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that she had reached the top of the mountain, and her face couldn't help but show some embarrassment.

Fang Shi realized for the first time that Xia Na behind him was awake, he carefully pointed the other party, and then took out a warm piece of clothing from the backpack on his chest and put it on Xia Na. The night wind on the top of the mountain was still very strong, and he didn't feel any cold for the time being due to the heat emitted by his climbing body all the way up.

Xana put on her warm clothes and felt the care of the stone in front of her, as if a warm current was surging through her heart.

Fang Shi found a good position, put the carpet prepared in advance in the service area at the foot of the mountain in his backpack on the ground, quickly spread it out, and then quickly took out the food he was carrying.

Then, Fang Shi beckoned Xia Na to sit down on the carpet, and he himself quickly sat down, and picked up some food and ate it unhurriedly, and continued to climb the mountain for almost four hours, his physical strength was still a lot of consumption, and his stomach was already a little hungry at this time.

Xia Ya on the side looked at Fang Shi quietly, and the corners of her lips were a smile that was not easy to detect.

The two of them sat facing east, waiting for more than an hour, and the gloomy sky in the distance finally changed, gradually turning gray.

The sky gradually brightened, and a faint blush slowly appeared in the eastern sky.

As time passed, the red halo of the sky gradually dissipated, and the heavens and the earth were clearly layered.

Soon, a small red ball of light crept out of the horizon and slowly rose.

That loud ball of light was the sun.

As the sun slowly drilled out of the horizon, the eastern sky gradually turned red, turning from a gray red to a bright and vivid red.

Eventually, the sky was overwhelmed by the morning glow, like a sea of fire.

In the center of the sea of fire is a round round morning sun, which is beautiful, like a newborn baby.

Fang Shi and Xia Na quietly looked at the rising sun, without words, only leaning on their backs tightly.
