Chapter 180: Adventurous Spirit
Not long after going downstairs, when it was about to be eaten, Zhou Xiling also came over.
He originally wanted to be absent from this family banquet for an excuse, but his mother said cruel words, asking him to be present today, even if he only showed up and left, he couldn't break the rules in front of his grandfather.
Before Ming Shu intended to match the two children, the old man naturally heard some rumors, if he couldn't see Zhou Xiling at today's meal, it would undoubtedly attract the suspicion and dissatisfaction of the head of the family.
Just imagine, the eldest grandson has a grudge against his future aunt, and this potential hidden danger that damages the harmony of the Zhou family is bound to be strangled in the cradle in advance.
During the meal, the Zhou family basically didn't talk much, but the overall atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Although the old man occasionally asks a few words, he will always bring them to Yunnuo, but she is by no means the protagonist of this family banquet, so after dealing with it, she is not restrained, but relaxed and smooth, which seems to be much more natural than Zhou Xiling.
As Mu Mu said, after all, we will become a family in the future, since embarrassment is unavoidable, then face it bravely.
But sometimes, the boy's mind is far from being so crisp.
After the meal, the old man called the three brothers upstairs again.
Nan Qiao and Ming Shu sat in the living room, chatting about the entertainment gossip of a certain elderly person in the circle of noblewomen, Yun Nuo felt bored, so he went for a walk in the back garden alone, and he should eat and drink.
Naturally, a coincidental scene happened next.
She thought that Zhou Xiling had already driven away, but she didn't want to just turn the bluestone path and see a slightly melancholy figure standing under the thin straight ginkgo tree in front of her.
Why do you feel melancholy, the breeze blows, and occasionally a few fallen leaves hit your shoulders, probably because of the environment.
Yun Nuo was silent, stood in place for a while, and was about to turn around and leave, when he was stopped by Zhou Xiling behind him.
From the moment his footsteps stopped, he was aware of her presence.
The reason why I pretended not to know was because I didn't think about the opening sentence for a while.
Or even a salutation.
In the end, he called his name, and his awkward appearance made Yun Nuo look a little smiling.
Zhou Xiling also looked helpless, and sighed lightly: "In this family, grandpa attaches great importance to the respect and humility of the elders and the young, and he can't hide from the fifteenth year of junior high school, and he has a headache when he thinks about it." ”
Elder and younger?
In this way, if she enters the door of the Zhou family, can't she change her name to Aunt and Sister-in-law?
Gab.
She lowered her head and kicked the pebbles and expressed her opinion, "Since the generations are all messed up, why do you care so much, just business as usual." ”
"Grandpa won't allow it."
"How do you know if you don't try?"
Seeing that the girl looked innocent and unwilling to admit defeat, Zhou Xiling couldn't help but nodded, "In the future, in addition to the third uncle, the Zhou family will have one more person who dares to disobey grandpa, not bad, very good, I am looking forward to it." ”
“.”
Yun Nuo was very puzzled and said: "Why in your hearts, you all think of the old man so unreasonable, just three contacts, I think he himself is quite enlightened." ”
Enlightened?
Zhou Xiling: "We may not know a person. ”
Or, up and down the Zhou family, the grandfather's favorite is only the third uncle.
Why the third uncle is so favored has always been an unsolved mystery that haunts his heart.
Love the house and Wu, and now even the third uncle's future daughter-in-law is also together. The young man didn't know what it was like to be sad, but now that he has grown up, Zhou Xiling can finally understand why his father always sighs, and he is glad that the third uncle chose to practice medicine back then, otherwise in the Zhou family, there is really no place for him and the second child.
But it's also good, the Zhou family's happy event is approaching, and grandpa won't have a straight face every day.
After chatting, Zhou Xiling instantly felt a lot of relief, looked at Yun Nuo's eyes a little more clear and transparent, and asked her if she was going to stay in Linjiang for a few days, if she was bored, she could take her out to play.
As a result, I realized how outrageous I was.
No, it's cheap.
"I'm sorry." He touched the back of his neck and said embarrassedly: "It's a little uncomfortable in a short period of time, don't worry about it." ”
"I won't care, but your third uncle can't tell."
Zhou Xiling was depressed: "So before this, I will try to be as little embarrassed as possible." ”
Yun Nuo couldn't hold back his laughter.
She suddenly discovered that in fact, everyone in the Zhou family was very cute.
After a while, Nan Qiao followed the sound of talking to find the back garden and asked Yun Nuo what arrangements he had for the afternoon, if he wanted to go to the house to sit and bring something to his grandmother by the way.
"Your uncle and they are talking, and they are idle anyway, so why don't we go back first."
'They' naturally include Zhou Chongyue.
Yun Nuo had no opinion, she pondered, her aunt should have something to say to her.
After greeting Ming Shu in the front yard, the two got into the car.
There was only his own driver in the car, Nan Qiao didn't beat around the bush, and directly asked Yun Nuo if he was usually very close to Zhou Xiling.
"I don't have much contact, I just met in the back garden, so I chatted by the way."
"During that time in Nanshi, he didn't take the initiative to look for you again, right?"
"Nope."
Nan Qiao nodded, relieved.
She held Yun Nuo's hand and said, "Although you young people think it doesn't matter, after all, there has been such a small episode before, in the Zhou family, it is better that you still rarely intersect in private, so as not to tell the truth." ”
"I know Auntie, I know the sense of social proportion, I know."
Listening to the girl's unambiguous tone, Nan Qiao smiled with relief, and then swept his eyes and caught a glimpse of a box next to him, "This is what the old man gave you?" ”
Yun Nuo nodded.
When it came to this greeting gift, she seemed a little confused, not understanding what it contained and what it was for.
The box opened, and as expected, confirmed Nan Qiao's conjecture.
She said solemnly: "Nuonuo, this thing is of great significance, you have to keep it well." ”
Well?
Under the girl's curious eyes, Nan Qiao slowly told the origin of this bead.
"I heard your uncle say that this is the tenth year that the old man took over the Zhou family, and he walked 2,888 steps to the top of the Buzang Palace, and asked for the Buddha beads that Master Yuansheng asked for at that time."
Yun Nuo was surprised: "He is an old man who believes in Buddhism? ”
"I didn't believe it before, but since Chongyue was five years old and fell seriously ill, he believed."
"So this is a talisman for Zhou Chongyue?"
Nan Qiao smiled, "Silly boy, what the old man gave him, naturally it can't be measured simply in the form of objects, it not only represents a father's love, but also symbolizes one-third of the Zhou family's family property, which is more effective than black and white, can you understand?" ”
She was stunned.
One-third of the Zhou family.
Although there is no concept, it seems that there are a lot of reactions from my aunt.
What a valuable gift, can she return it?
Aren't you still married?
The old man is not afraid that she will dump his son?
Chatting and chatting, almost to the villa.
When getting out of the car, Nan Qiao rubbed his temples and whispered, "For some reason these days, my eyelids often jump, and I always feel unsteady in my heart." ”
Zhou Simu, who was far away, sneezed coldly.
Looking up at the cloudy sky, then his eyes turned to see the bodyguard at the door walking away on the phone.
I'm not afraid of thunder and rain, I'm afraid of being remembered by Ms. Nan at home.
It's been four months, and when is this day a head?
Zhou Simu looked up and wailed.
-
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Chongyue came to pick her up from the old house.
At that time, I only took a nap in the upstairs guest room, but I slept in a daze until the end, and when I woke up, I found that I was already in the hotel bed.
Looking at the sky outside, it wasn't too late.
Yun Nuo yawned and walked out of the bedroom, leaned on the shoulder of the man on the sofa, and asked lazily: "What are you eating tonight, is there a mountain nearby, I want to go camping on the top of the mountain to see the stars." ”
Zhou Chongyue patted her head dotingly, and then heard a few uncontrollable laughter from the other end of the tablet.
??
The girl blinked and sat up straight.
I thought I was having auditory hallucinations.
The next moment, his eyes turned slightly to the tablet in the man's hand and took a deep breath.
Eyes asked, on the video?
Zhou Chongyue chuckled: "I just switched to voice in time." ”
She froze.
There is no love on the face.
The department admitted a patient yesterday, whose condition is a little complicated and tricky, so today a remote consultation was held to discuss the surgical plan with several attending patients.
Yun Nuo covered his face with his hands, and his mind instantly cleared up a lot.
God knows how loud it was just now.
Embarrassed to linger any longer, she pointed to the bedroom and got up to leave.
After a quiet moment, Zhou Chongyue withdrew the gaze that fell on the girl and motioned to continue.
The attending doctor intimately advised: "Why don't you wait until you are free?" ”
"No, finish the important things now, and don't bother me at night."
"Want to see the stars?"
Zhou Chongyue raised her eyebrows: "Do you have an opinion?" ”
"No, I don't dare."
Several of the directors looked at each other and smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and got to the point again.
The consultation ends in half an hour.
Yun Nuo held her mobile phone and played a game on the bed, feeling a slight sink next to her, she turned her head sideways and asked, "Is it over?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Chongyue rubbed her hair, "If you want to camp, set off now, it's still in time." ”
"Really want to go?"
"It's rare to take a vacation, so naturally I want to have fun with you."
The girl did not hesitate to listen, and simply quit the game, jumped out of bed and rummaged through the trunk for her coat.
"It can be cold at the top of the mountain at night, and it's hard to say if there are stars or not."
"It's not raining tonight, so you can try your luck."
She comforted herself as she straightened her clothes: "If you can't see the stars, it seems good to wait until tomorrow's sunrise." ”
Zhou Chongyue smiled, took the coat in her hand and put it on the bed, pulled up the suitcase and put it away, and asked her, "Have you ever been to the top of the mountain before?" ”
"Look at the way I look like I've never seen the world, you should be able to guess."
Speaking of this, Yun Nuo couldn't help but recall an interesting incident from his middle school days, and sighed: "When I was a child, I was still too well-behaved, I was in high school before, and some classmates in the class had already fallen in love, and they often went out in groups of three or two to go crazy.
The most impressive time, a couple went camping on the top of the mountain, but got lost in the mountains, but they were afraid of being known by their parents, and they didn't dare to call the police, they were hungry for three days and three nights, and after being found, they said that they had amnesia, and all kinds of proof that they were from Mars. ”
The girl spoke with relish, but Zhou Chongyue only grasped one key point, "Listening to your tone, do you regret that you talked too little about love?" ”
Forehead.
It seems so understandable.
Yun Nuo did not deny it.
Passing by the living room and picking up the car keys on the coffee table, Zhou Chongyue took her and walked out, "Regret is regret, but there are some things, just think about it, don't get into a dead end." ”
"No, Dr. Zhou will also have a sense of crisis."
"Inferiority complex from an unmarried old man, no?"
Yun Nuo couldn't help but nod, okay.
Climbing and camping equipment is available at the foot of the mountain.
After purchasing all the necessities, the two took advantage of the darkness to follow the large army and the guide up the mountain.
Halfway through, I found that most people's destination was not the top of the mountain, but the Internet celebrity farm playground halfway up the mountainside, where it is said that there are outdoor simulation adventures, script killing, and barbecues.
Eating barbecue is definitely more fun than looking at the stars.
Sensing her inner struggle, Zhou Chongyue gave the steps at the right time and asked her if she was hungry and if she wanted to eat something.
The scent of cumin wafted through the mountain path, and Yun Nuo shook his head firmly with distracting thoughts.
Zhou Chongyue chuckled, took the small kettle hanging on her shoulder, and led her on.
At the top of the mountain, sit down and rest for a few minutes, and by the time the tent is set up, it will be 7 o'clock in the evening.
The altitude is not high, and the temperature at night is enough to keep out the cold with a thicker sweater.
Yun Nuo sat next to Zhou Chongyue, holding bread and water in her hands, looking at a few scattered stars in the distance, the dead grass moving in the wind under her feet, and the hustle and bustle of the city hidden far away, so between heaven and earth, it seemed that only she and him were left.
Just sitting, with no stars to see, seems to feel fulfilled.
But Zhou Chongyue's prediction was very right, after eight o'clock, the stars hidden in the sky gradually became clearer, and then the night breeze passed, Yun Nuo shivered all over, and couldn't help but sniff.
"I guess I'm going to catch a cold tonight." She said.
Obviously, Zhou Chongyue also had the same hunch, and pulled her up and walked towards the tent.
"Got cold medicine?"
"Hmm."
Zhou Chongyue opened the granule, brewed it with hot water in a thermos cup, and watched her drink it while it was hot.
The wind was getting louder outside, the warm yellow camping lights were overhead, and in the wilderness, she remembered a movie she had watched a few years ago, called "Precocity".
With a slight movement in his heart, Yun Nuo couldn't help but lean over to kiss him, thinking that he should react for at least a few seconds, but he barely paused, not only giving her a gentle response, but also taking away the dominance in the end.
In such an atmosphere, people are always easily emotional.
Yun Nuo feels that compared with the heroes and heroines in the film, if something happens now, her situation will be much more justified.
But Dr. Chow was far more restrained than she thought.
Yun Nuo didn't know why he was so bold, his hands clinged to his waist, and his little face was close to his ear to say his proposals and demands.
Zhou Chongyue grabbed her moving hand, looked at her for a moment, and said with a low laugh: "The glutinous adventurous spirit makes me feel ten years younger. ”
Adventure.
She tilted her head and said, "One in 10,000 probability, in fact, I'm not afraid at all." ”
"The risks don't stop there."
Well?
Zhou Chongyue's eyes became darker, and her fingertips touched her cheek, "Without safety measures, I can't guarantee that the probability can still be maintained at 1 in 10,000." ”
Also.
Yun Nuo realized it afterwards and realized this disappointing problem.
But she is a typical sensual, and short-sighted kind, thinking for a moment, she still asks unwillingly: "Don't you want to?" ”
Of course, no matter how tight the string is, it will always break if you pluck it several times.
Zhou Chongyue sighed, she didn't know why she was crazy with her. There is no point in thinking about such a question, and if reason had worked, they would not have been together at all in the first place.
So, the curtain of the tent was raised.

Finally, I have to explain what I mean by the two chapters in one.
It used to be 2,000 words per chapter, but now it's 4,000 words per chapter, and the total number of updates per day hasn't changed, but the two chapters have been merged, so I think it should be easy to understand, right? Why is there still a baby comment saying that a chapter is missing? I was helpless.
