Is that so?

The girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and she didn't know if Xia Yanfei had seen her little movements, Tom was picked up, Yin Xiyue looked at its innocent expression, and looked at the night view of the city outside the window through its raised paws.

The sky was a quiet dark blue, and in the hours after this moment it would only grow darker and darker, and the blue would become less and less until the white of the fish's belly would pass by tomorrow morning.

In Jiangcheng City, where the time is late, the high-rise buildings are dark, the lights are bright, maybe it is the attachment to the sun, people will always inadvertently, let the night scene of the city be surrounded by the warm orange light, there are busy vehicles passing through the streets to neatly divide the buildings into pieces, and in these closely connected areas, there are thousands of lights.

Xia Yanfei looked at the girl leaning on her shoulder, her amber eyes reflected the night sky, and the bright lights, at this moment, her eyes were brilliant like fireworks.

"So, if you're looking forward to it when you go, you'll be very memorable when you come back, right? I don't want to leave, I want to stay a little longer."

"There's nothing wrong with that, on the way back, I always think that there is a place I haven't visited, or something fun that I haven't had time to experience, but as long as I look back at the last moment and think that it was worth the trip, it will be enough."

"The happiness left behind will be engraved in the memory, don't dwell too much on the end of things, as long as you can remember something, you will be very happy."

"So, girl, are you still happy tonight?".

Xia Yanfei asked with a smile.

"Well, it's fun, the movie is good."

The girl held the doll in her arms, nodded her head firmly, but tilted her head regretfully and said, "It's just a little short, if only the story could be longer."

"The filmmakers said there would be a second part."

"Really?"

The girl looked up at him excitedly, her eyes full of joy.

"Well, I'll take you to the second part then."

"It's a promise, I'll want to eat roasted marshmallows then."

Yin Xiyue stretched out her little hand to hook him.

"A word is a certainty." Xia Yanfei hooked her little finger with her own finger, and then the thumbs of the two people gently clasped together.

His hands were warm and a little rough, her little hands were slightly cool and delicate, smooth and supple like silk, I don't know if I liked the feeling of touching, even if the hook agreement was over, the two of them still maintained the action at this time.

Yin Xiyue hid her face, her little face was already covered with a touch of crimson, but she maintained a little stubbornness, and she was reluctant to let go of her hand.

In the end, it was Xia Yanfei who gently withdrew his hand.

"Listen, girl." He withdrew his hand and stroked her ear, brushed away the girl's long fine hair, and then carefully arranged them behind her ear, and when his fingers ran over her warm and transparent ear, Yin Xiyue moved as if it was itchy.

"Did you hear anything?" Xia Yanfei's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid that the sound would be too loud and disturb her hearing.

Sound? After his reminder, the girl listened carefully, except for the noise on the road outside the window, the sound of water under the Jiangcheng Bridge in the distance, and the rustle of the leaves in the evening breeze, she caught a sound that she had not noticed.

The bells may not be evenly spaced, but they are melodious and powerful, solemn and majestic.

At first, it was just a subtle sensation like an auditory hallucination, but after hearing it clearly, it became clearer and clearer, and her heartbeat couldn't help but become calm.

"Is it the bell?" She replied tentatively.

"Yes, it's a bell, from an ancient temple outside Jiangcheng, where the monks ring the bell every night, not only to rest quietly, but also to pray for the blessings of the whole city."

"I didn't even notice it before."

"It's a little far away from us, and it's hard to hear it, so even if you hear it in the dead of night, you shake your head and think it's a delusion."

"But if you listen carefully, you will still hear clearly."

Xia Yanfei touched hers

Head.

"You know a lot." Yin Xiyue smiled and nodded at him.

"Because I went to the ancient temple during the summer vacation of my freshman year of high school, and I helped there for a month, or I studied there."

"Did you hit the bell, then?"

"Yes, the brothers deliberately leave me a chance to hit the bell once a week."

"May I ask you how you felt?" The girl asked quietly.

"Feelings? I just feel that the big wood that hits the bell is so heavy, and there are ...... When I hit it, I would sincerely hope that the bell would remove everyone's troubles, and the abbot said that the bell is not only a reminder to the monks, but also a prayer for the blessing of all sentient beings."

Xia Yanfei thought for a while and said.

So, although I didn't know him before, I had heard him ring the bell.

When I think about it this way, I always feel an indescribable feeling, like a kind of companionship that has never been masked.

Yin Xiyue thought like this, and there was a small bump in the bus, which turned out to be the return bus, and it was back on the Jiangcheng Bridge again.

I don't know if it's the effect of the night, but I always feel that the sound of the water under the bridge is clearer and more crisp.

The never-ending waves of water crashing on the piers of the bridge, even if you can only hear the sound, you can feel the clarity of the clear water.

"Speaking of striking the bell, I think of the story in the diary of the laughing cat."

"Tell me about it." Yin Xiyue leaned towards him.

"Hmm...... The main character of the story is the Laughing Cat, who is a very magical cat with many smiles, and his favorite place to go is the park in the city where he is located."

"It was a very big park, with lots and lots of plants and animals, and one day, the laughing cat found a very tall tower erected in the park, which he called the White Jade Tower."

"Cats love to climb, and ordinary trees and buildings can't stop them, so the cats in the park want to climb up, but the tower is too slippery, and the cats who try fail to climb, and the same goes for laughing cats."

"When the animals thought it was an impossible task, a cat completed the task and successfully climbed to the top of the White Jade Tower."

"Is this cat so powerful?" Yin Xiyue asked curiously.

"Her name is Budge, and she is the only cat that is good at climbing."

"As she tried, the laughing cat saw it all, and then he found that he seemed to like her."

"Then the tiger cat suddenly disappeared, and the laughing cat looked for her for a long, long time, almost all around the place, and finally found her when he almost gave up."

「…… Where did he find him?"

"In a bell tower, the caretaker of the bell tower is too old to climb to ring the bell, and the kind tiger cat takes over the task and rings the bell every evening to pray for the blessings of the people."

"But the bell is ringing, so the tiger cat's ears are deaf."

Yin Xiyue's eyes widened.

"It's all right, the laughing cat later found the blue rabbit ear grass and cured her, and at the end of this volume, they have a grand wedding under the bell tower."

Xia Yanfei stretched out the girl's nervous forehead and ended the story with a smile.
