Chapter 21: Alternative Confessions
In order to forget the weird overnight watermelon, Ye Ziling did not return to the hotel immediately after breakfast, walked on the nearby street for a while to eat, and then found a road to start running every day.
The highway is wide and flat, winding and stretching beyond the horizon, and the golden rape flowers on both sides of the road divide the heaven, earth and sea into patches of color, warm and gorgeous. Cyclists and hikers set off at dawn in the morning, full of enthusiasm and youth along the way, singing when they have extra strength, shouting and shouting when passing by Ye Ziling, occasionally driving a car on the road, Ye Ziling easily ran five kilometers in this wind mixed with flowers and fine sunlight. When she turned back, she wandered around the town for a while, and went back at noon to make up for a nap, and when she woke up, her travel friends arrived one after another.
There are five of them, three men and two women, some are shy, some are enthusiastic and cheerful, and some are lively and cute, plus Ye Ziling just formed a small team of six people.
After cleaning up and resting, everyone went out for a meal together, got acquainted with each other, and elected a captain to lead the team.
The captain is a man in his thirties, who has rich experience in riding, is steady, speaks slowly and methodically, and arranges all the details properly, and the other five people are all rookies of varying degrees, so they were instantly impressed by the professionalism of this big brother. Before going to bed at night, everyone got together for a short meeting, emphasizing safety and precautions a few times before they dispersed.
The next morning, the whole team set off, Ye Ziling looked very thin, and had no experience in riding, there were enthusiastic boys who saw her like this and had to help her carry her luggage, Ye Ziling refused with a smile, and promised to keep up with the team again, and the other party gave up.
The wide road rises and falls with the terrain, with snow-capped ridges in the distance and large grasslands in the distance, clusters of wolf poison flowers blooming in the sun. The six of them are not in a hurry to hurry, they encounter sand and sand along the way, meet water and play with water, occasionally pass by unique scenic spots, and will also go in for sightseeing and taking pictures.
In two days, Ye Ziling followed the team to play almost everything he could, taking pictures, riding horses, and experiencing the grassland bonfire party one by one, and also tasted various snacks such as milk tea and butter tea, and after two days of running-in, the six people became more and more familiar with each other.
Among them, there was a young man named Jia Shuai, who seemed to have a good impression of Ye Ziling, but Ye Ziling always maintained a certain distance.
Early in the morning of the third day, there is a bird mountain between the next stops, which is an excellent place for bird watching experience, and everyone discussed catching up on the road, if it is fast, you can barely catch it back, but you have to ride more than ten kilometers at night to the next town to stay.
Ye Ziling is the first time to ride such a long car, although the physical strength is good, but it is inevitable that he will not be able to master the skills of long-distance riding, the next evening he feels uncomfortable, and he has no strength, and he has not recovered much after resting for a night, so when everyone proposed to go together early in the morning, Ye Ziling knew that he might have to drag his feet.
But seeing that everyone was in high spirits, it was not good to sweep people's interest on the way, so she measured it and said to the captain, she didn't go to the scenic spot, and met them directly in the next town at night.
The captain saw that her face was really not good, so he told her about safety again before leaving with the rest of the team.
The socialization of adults has a sense of proportion with each other, and when Ye Ziling made this suggestion, everyone would not use any sense of teamwork to kidnap her. Although there were some regrets, I quickly respected her choice.
At this time, there is no other burden, it is less than 30 kilometers away from the next town, according to Ye Ziling's physical strength, she can get to the accommodation place before the sun sets, so she is not in a hurry along the way, and she meets hikers and goes down to chat with others, but she forgets the time while playing, the sunset rises in the western sky, and she is still half the way to the destination.
There is an advantage to traveling freely, you don't need to discuss everything with people as you like, and you can arrange your own time at will, so she stopped the car, took out a water cup to replenish the water, wiped the sweat on her head, looked at the people on the road before and after the gradual scarcity, thought about it or took out the phone to call a car.
After answering and saying a few words, he just hung up the phone, and there was a call from the front, and when Ye Ziling heard the voice, a figure on a bicycle flashed down from the slope in the distance.
It's that Jia Shuai, although his name is "fake handsome", but he is thin and tall, white and clean, with a pair of frameless eyes on the bridge of his nose, not only is it not fake, but he is also quite handsome. It was also about the first time to participate in this kind of activity, and the boys were very shy, and when they talked to the girls in the team, their faces were red, and they looked a little silly with their long hands and feet and nowhere to put them.
The young man was probably on his way all the way, and he was still a little out of breath at this time, and he scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed: "I...... I rode more than ten kilometers with everyone in the morning, afraid that you would be in danger alone, and I would turn and turn back to find you. Actually, I don't really want to go to the next attraction, and I have to drive more than 20 kilometers extra, which is too tiring. ”
The two were talking in the middle of the road, and a car was about to drive behind them, Ye Ziling and Jia Shuai retreated to the side of the road, Ye Ziling's eyes glanced over there, and he felt that the car was a little familiar.
It felt like the car that was following her that night, and she couldn't help but take a few more looks.
But before she could figure out anything, Jia Shuai touched his head, looked at the sky and said, "It's not too early, I'll call a car to send us to the next town, and you can rest and rest." ”
Ye Ziling's attention was pulled back, and when he heard this, he shook his mobile phone and smiled: "I have already called a car to come over, it will take about twenty minutes for the car to come, thank you for coming to me." The scenery on this road is good, the sky is quite clear, if you are not tired, let's walk towards the sunset? ”
Jia Shuai touched his head, he wished he could spend more personal time with Ye Ziling, so he naturally had no opinion.
After a few words, Ye Ziling had forgotten the familiar car, she pushed the car and said as she walked: "Actually, I am very grateful if you call to say hello, you don't have to make a special trip to come back, how tired." ”
What's more, on the first day she came, she left the phone number for the camp pick-up and drop-off, and if she was too tired or couldn't catch up in time, she could call a car at any time. Spit and complain, but at this time, there is still a person who is not familiar with her, and I don't know whether to be moved or call him stupid, in short, Ye Ziling is very grateful to him.
The two of them pushed the cart and walked on foot, the speed was naturally very slow, and there were a few whistles from the car next to the gap between the words, Ye Ziling's eyes looked over, and finally noticed the car that had been slowly following them.
It can't be asking for directions, the two of them showed puzzled eyes together.
The window fell, revealing an overly handsome face.
Ye Ziling: "......"
When that face appeared, Ye Ziling first screamed in his heart, putting aside his uncertain temper, this person's face was really amazing to look at.
But she had promised that she would not appear in front of him again, so how could this be counted now?
I don't know if the other party's face will hurt, but she didn't break her promise anyway, and she was right.
Yan Yi looked down on the two of them and stopped, so he opened the car door and got out of the car.
The person got out of the car, but he just got out of the car, and the face said "I'm just here to find you" and "I just don't speak first", pretending to be looking at the scenery.
This arrogant and speechless appearance made Ye Ziling's eyes hurt, but the other party was her life-saving benefactor, so she reluctantly spoke: "Why are you here again?" Looking for me? ”
Yan leaned on the side of the car with a light and tall body, clasped his hands on his chest, and when he heard the words, he only snorted in his nose, and he didn't know what it meant. People leaned there, behind them was the fire-like sunset and the blue sea, wide shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, a pair of Martin boots under the soles of the feet, plus the kind of temperament that was high and unapproachable, Jia Shuai, who was originally very tall and handsome and very popular with girls, seemed to feel that his surname "Jia" was not a loss.
He looked left and right at the two of them and asked hesitantly, "Your friend?" ”
Before Ye Ziling could answer, the high-ranking uncle retorted seriously: "I don't know, just look at how you flirt." ”
But that look is more than acquaintance, Jia Shuai is shy, but people are not stupid, he noticed something, his face was red to his neck when he heard the words, and he smiled bitterly and said to Ye Ziling: "Ye Zi, you used to have a boyfriend, you said it earlier." I've been ...... all the way."
Ye Ziling didn't expect Yan Yiqing to be so shameless, and seeing that Jia Shuai had misunderstood, he subconsciously wanted to explain, but as soon as he spit out a word, he thought of something, so he swallowed the rest of the words back, and just shook his head and said no: "I'm sorry, a friend, I didn't know he would come over." ”
In fact, no, along the way, Ye Ziling did not accept their courtesy, but he would not directly embarrass people, as soon as Ye Ziling's words of apology came out, Jia Shuai felt that his concern along the way, which was only floating in words, was a little too cheap, so he blushed and shook his head to say that it was okay.
Yan Yiqing: "Are you leaving?" ”
"Of course you have to go, tell me something quickly, and the car we called will come later."
"Where, I'll send you there, said in the car."
"Okay." When Ye Ziling heard that there was a free person to use, he was not pretentious at all, and beckoned Jia Shuai to put their car on Yan Yiqing's car, "The trunk is quite big, and the two cars are stuffed, right?" ”
"Wait." Yan Yiqing stretched out his hand to block, "I'll only send you and ask him to ride that broken bicycle by himself." ”
Jia Shuai: "......"
Ye Ziling was surprised: "Are you serious?" ”
Looking at her eyes full of disbelief, Yan Yiqing stared at her for a long time and was silent, and finally compromised: "Forget it, get in the car." ”
Fortunately, the car was still quite large, and the trunk space was relatively sufficient, the two received the car, and Ye Ziling made another phone call to cancel the pick-up service of the camp car, and the other party had not set off at all for a long time.
Looking at the familiarity and tacit understanding that the two exuded back and forth, Jia Shuai understood that he shouldn't have made another move and came back today. So he got into the car dejectedly and slammed the back door very consciously.
Ye Ziling, who was following behind, touched the tip of his nose: "......"
Forget it, doesn't Yan Yiqing have something to say, and the co-pilot is more convenient. Ye Ziling got into the car, but the high-ranking uncle just didn't open his mouth and said why he came to her.
The salted egg yolk-like sunset gradually sank behind the mountain, and the night slowly opened, and the diamond-like stars spread the entire sky, and the stars twinkled and shimmered, as if the whole Milky Way was cast into it. It didn't take long to arrive after a distance of more than ten kilometers, the car stopped under the lights on the side of the road, Jia Shuai was depressed along the way, and pushed the car into the door of the hotel after saying thank you.
Seeing Jia Shuai's figure disappear behind the door, Ye Ziling sat on the seat and didn't move, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter with me, can you talk about it now?" ”
Yan Yi held the steering wheel lightly, pursed the corners of his mouth and did not speak, staring ahead, as if he couldn't hear her.
Ye Ziling thought for a while, and his eyelids opened slightly: "You don't want to soak me, do you!" ”
Yan Yiqing's complexion was a little unnatural for a moment.
Ye Ziling felt that her eyes might be blind, and she almost bit her tongue: "Really?" Are you serious? ”
Since she has already started the way, the rest of the words are much smoother, Yan Yi snorted lightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry to put gold on your face first, I mean if you want, how about we try?" ”
Ye Ziling's head exploded with a few fireworks, she didn't think about the potential meaning of his words at all, she only felt as if she had earned it.
Such a handsome guy confessed to her in rounding up, Ye Ziling thought to himself.
