Chapter Twenty-Eight: Erhai Lake

Erhai Lake, known as Kunming Pond in ancient times, got this name because its shape resembles a human ear.

The four scenery of Dali "Wind Flower Snow Moon", Erhai Lake is one of them.

It was dusk, Xu Anran and Yang Qichen were riding bicycles, along the shore, riding slowly.

The sunset and sunset are reflected in this mirror-like blue water, away from the hustle and bustle, away from the glitz, leaving only the sun, moon and autumn water, this time, is the quiet of the years.

Maybe it's right, Yunnan, suitable for those who hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son to travel.

Yang Qichen looked at the intoxicated person on the bicycle, under the afterglow, the cool breeze was blowing, and the air was full of her hair fluttering everywhere, with distinct roots, and when she gently swept her cheeks, it was itchy, but she felt gentle and infinite.

"Yang Qichen~ Do you know why I chose to come to Erhai?" The person riding in front suddenly turned around and shouted at the back.

"Why?"

"Because someone told me, Erhai Lake, whenever the bright moon is in the sky, the silver peaks of Cangshan Mountain are sparkling and flickering, the starlight and moonlight reflect each other, and the Bai fishermen will haunt between this wave of light and tree shadows, this is the "Erhai Moon", the moon of the wind and snow, the moon of the moon, the moon of the sky, the moon of the sun, the moon and the stars...... Yang Qichen, you are a rising star, will you be lonely without the moon? ”

"What did you say?"

Xu Anran looked at the man with a puzzled face, smiled, kicked his foot hard, and directly threw Yang Qichen away. Look ahead, open your arms and shout.

"I said, Yang Qichen, if you don't have the moon, will you be lonely-"

Hearing the words clearly, Yang Qichen immediately kicked a few times and caught up.

When he brushed Xu Anran's side, he said softly.

"Yes, I'll be lonely."

"Why?" Xu Anran simply stopped his bicycle and leaned against the guardrail on the shore of the lake.

Yang Qichen also put down the car and leaned next to Xu Anran.

The sky was slowly darkening, and there were a few stars in the sky.

"Look." Xu Anran followed the direction of Yang Qichen's finger and looked up at the sky.

"There's only one moon on it, one star missing, and countless other stars revolving around it, but if one day, the moon is gone, even if the sky is full of stars, they are just dots of the night sky, and you can't find a target to follow. However, the night sky is black, and even the stars will want to find a place of light. In the last sentence, Yang Qichen looked at Xu Anran and said, in his deep eyes, Xu Anran seemed to see himself.

"Yang Qichen, if one day, the moon disappears, come to Erhai Lake, there is still an Erhai Moon here."

"Xu Anran, let's get married!"

"What?"

"I said, let's get married."

"No, it's too troublesome to get married or something, I'm still young! Don't you want to trap me like this~" Xu Anran smiled at Yang Qichen, then turned his head to look at the lake, that smile was so bright that Yang Qichen felt dazzling, and the words that were said very easily were similar, every word made Yang Qichen feel harsh.

"Why?"

Why are you willing to get engaged, but you don't want to get married.

"Yang Qichen, this world is too big, I can only see Erhai Lake once today, and I don't know what other corners of this world are like~"

"If you want, I can take you there, the whole country? Or is it universal? ”

"No, it's neither."

"What's that?"

Xu Anran shook his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth and did not speak again.

The eyes continued to be fixed in the direction of the sky. Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, she thought

There, there should be no place for Yang Qichen.

"Let's go eat, I'm a little hungry."

"Hmm." A little disappointed nodded, and did not ask any more questions.

Two people pushed the bicycle, and slowly disappeared at the end with the gradually approaching night.

……

The two of them chose to come to a Japanese restaurant. The decoration of the whole restaurant is a very complete Japanese restaurant, but the location is extremely hidden, I don't know if it is because of the geographical location, there are few customers in the restaurant.

"Hello? What do you need? ”

A person who looked like a waiter walked over, and the reason why he said it seemed was because Xu Anran felt that it was not simple in terms of temperament or appearance. The man used a not very pure Mandarin and asked Xu Anran and Yang Qichen, who had just sat down.

"Let's go to some of the more unique ones in your store!" Xu Anran didn't take the menu, but just said with *.

"Okay, you guys, wait a minute." He smiled politely and bowed with a good attitude.

"You... Is it Japanese? Whether it was the feeling of this store, or the dress of the person in front of him and the not-so-pure Mandarin accent, Xu Anran was puzzled, and he subconsciously asked.

Yang Qichen looked at the two silently on the side, did not speak, but his expression became extremely ugly.

"If Miss is interested, can you guess?"

"What kind of interest, she won't be interested in this kind of boring thing, what is there to guess, ask you, you can answer directly." An abrupt voice suddenly came to mind on the other side, and Xu Anran looked at the man with a gloomy face in some surprise.

"Miss's friend doesn't seem to be very happy with me talking to Miss."

"Ah, no, no, he's like that, I'm sorry, you go get busy." In the face of such a question, the whole atmosphere became very embarrassing, Xu Anran hurriedly glanced at Yang Qichen a few times, and flatly denied it.

"Okay, you two, please wait a minute."

Even though the man had walked away, Yang Qichen's face still showed no signs of improvement.

"Yang Qichen, what are you doing? Are you three years old? ”

"I'm three years old?!! Oh, what to say! Is! ”

"The way you look now, aren't you just a child~"

"Why are you talking so much to him? Still staring at him, what's so nice! Yang Qichen put his hands in front of his chest, cocked his long legs, and pinned his face out of the window.

"It's pretty good!"

"You-" The legs that had just been folded, after Xu Anran said a word, he immediately let go of his anger.

Seeing Xu Anran, he burst into laughter.

It didn't take long for the person just now to come out of the kitchen with two plates of food and walk over to Xu Anran and them.

"Please take your time."

"Can't you send it to someone else?" Yang Qichen saw that it was still the same person just now, and his whole expression began to be wrong again.

"I'm sorry, but there's no one else in this restaurant besides me."

"You're the owner of this shop?"

"Yes." got a response, and all the doubts in Xu Anran's heart were solved.

"I'll just say, I don't feel like a waiter~ It's the owner!"

"But, I'm actually a waitress too, aren't I?"

"Ahh Ha ha... That's right. ”

"Didn't you say you're hungry? Hurry up and eat. Yang Qichen looked at the person whose attention had already drifted away, and deliberately pushed the plate in front of Xu Anran.

Xu Anran closed his mouth in amusement and focused on the cooking.

"It's so delicious~ How can there be so few people in such a delicious restaurant?"

"I think it's average." Xu Anran ate with a look of enjoyment, and saw that Yang Qichen directly pushed his plate to her.

"Don't you want it? So delicious! ”

"I'm not hungry yet, I'm not hungry, it's not enough for us to order more."

"Huh~ stingy man."

Xu Anran's muttering naturally floated into Yang Qichen's ears, his face darkened, and he raised his eyebrows unnaturally.

Finally, the two plates were empty, Xu Anran put down his chopsticks and raised his head with satisfaction, with residues still hanging from the corners of his mouth.

Yang Qichen consciously picked up the paper on the table and wiped it clean for her.

"Thank you, boss."

"Brother Firefly, professor, teacher, boss, I don't know what else you can call? Have you eaten enough? It sounded reproachful, but it sounded extremely gentle.

"Hey, hey~ whoever is the boss pays the bill."

"You little girl! Waiter, pay the bill! ”

glanced at Xu Anran dotingly, then turned his gaze to the front desk, and his attitude changed in seconds.

Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper immediately walked over.

"Are you two satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied~" Xu Anran hurriedly nodded and praised.

"That's good, I don't know who is coming?"

"What, what do you mean?"

"You two didn't look at the sign at the door when they entered the store? One story is worth one consumption. ”

"What do you mean?"

This means that we don't accept cash, only stories. As long as one of the two is willing to share a story, they can leave. ”

"Is there such a good thing? Just a story will do?!! Xu Anran's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Of course, but the story needs to be true, and there is no limit to the genre."

"Just say how much you wantβ€”"

"I can, I have a story!!" As soon as Yang Qichen spoke, he was interrupted by Xu Anran's excitement, and Qian Zisheng was stuck in his throat.

"Miss, please come with me."

"Okay." As he spoke, Xu Anran stood up, but unexpectedly, Yang Qichen also immediately got up and stopped the two people.

"Where are you going?"

"In order not to disturb the storyteller, there is a special story house in the store, right there, don't worry, Mr. will come out after the story is finished."

"It's okay, I'll come when I go, you'll wait for me here."

"Something called me." Looking at Xu Anran, who was full of anticipation, Yang Qichen finally put down the hand that was blocking in front of the two.

Xu Anran followed the shopkeeper into the story house. The room was very simple, with a screen, two round cushions, and a wooden table in the middle, on which a cup of tea was poured and steaming.

"Miss, please!"

Xu Anran walked to the mat and sat down cross-legged. The shopkeeper sat down across from her.

"Then I'll get started."

"Okay."

"Hmm...... See the guy outside? His name is Yang Qichen, he is actually ten years older than me? But it's so good-looking, I can't see it at all! He, it can be said that he watched me grow up, when he was in elementary school, he was in high school, he would bring me breakfast every day, wait for me to go to school at my door, he often took me to catch fireflies, many, many, shiny, but beautiful, because of his protection, I have never been bullied by my classmates, I remember one winter, it was snowing outside, I fell down on my bicycle, the road was icy at that time, there were no cars, it was he who carried me on his back and ran three kilometers and sent me to the hospital, do you know what he looked like at that time? I was sweating profusely, but I was crying profusely, for fear of what would happen to me, but two years ago, I don't know why he suddenly left me............ I really like him, I like him so much, but I, I feel like I'm going to leave him......"

"Miss, give-" Xu Anran looked at the white handkerchief that suddenly appeared in front of him, smiled distractedly, and just bent the corner of his eye, tears fell out of the crack.

"Thank you, Miss's story, it's wonderful and touching, I don't know what Miss is called?"

"Xu Anran."

"Xu Anran... An Ning I, a lifetime of knowledge, a very good name. My name is Jiang Yi, and I feel that Miss Xu will still need my restaurant, and I will wait for you here. ”
