Chapter 6 The Taste of Lychee
The book bar was still full of customers, and a young couple came over one after another to sit on the seats side by side with us, and the two of them sat side by side.
"Okay, don't always listen to my nagging, you're annoyed." She turned her head to look at the young couple and continued, "You know, today Mr. Cuong asked me where I was going at night, and I didn't reply to him. Does he like me a little, you must have talked about something. ”
She leaned back heavily, as if she had suddenly remembered something, and then she let out a long breath, "Do you know why we are separated? ”
Speaking of this, she paused, stared at the little flower cat on the windowsill with her eyes stupidly, and continued to herself: "If his self-esteem is not so strong, maybe we would have been married a long time ago." His family is from the countryside, Jiangxi camphor tree, and every family in that place grows herbal medicine. He said that he didn't want to go back to his hometown after graduation, and wanted to go to a big city. I was so happy after hearing what he said that I thought he had decided not to go back to his hometown because he wanted to be with me. ”
The music in the room looped to the song "Warm Light", melodious pure music, the sound of tinkling water, and the gentle chirping of birds.
In front of her, she gently stroked the hair that fell on her left ear with her hand, and continued, "I said that if you graduate, you will find a job near our school first, and when I graduate, how about we go back to Shenzhen together."
He didn't speak at the time, and later told me that he didn't want to rely on my family's relationship in Shenzhen to do things, and he wanted to rely on his own ability to make a career.
"I didn't say anything more when I heard him say that, and I thought that no matter what, it would be better for him to go to my hometown to find a job than for me to follow him around, and it didn't matter if anything else. At that time, I said that of course it is good, so I will wish you a successful career in advance. ”
"Then did he find a job near the school after graduation waiting for you to graduate?" I asked.
"No, after graduation, he said that he would go back to his hometown for a while, accompany his parents, and also help his parents do farm work."
Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled, "Don't say it, that's all for my story today, resolutely don't say it again, if you still want to hear it, it depends on your performance in the future." ”
"Why don't we walk around the town, we've been here for so many days, and we haven't really bypassed this town." I saw that she really didn't want to go any further, so I offered to go out with her.
The night in the town is very quiet, and there are not many tourists on the road, probably tired after climbing the mountain during the day, or enjoying the tranquility in the café and bar like the two of us.
Occasionally, a few shadowy figures flashed under the yellowish street lamp. Lynn and I walked slowly down the street, shoulder to shoulder, the two figures stretched long in the light and then shrunk to our feet.
I turned my head to look at her, and she happened to be looking at me too, "If you want to pull my hand, don't be ashamed to answer, look at your guts." She couldn't help but giggle herself.
I also laughed, took her hand and said, "You're right, we really have a lot in common. ”
She looked at me with a smile and asked, "For example." ”
"Do you know, many years ago, I also met a girl in Shenzhen, and her family is also from Jiangxi."
"Hey, I knew you weren't a steady person, I really didn't expect you to have a love story here. Where is her family from Jiangxi, it won't happen that it is also a camphor tree." She asked as she stretched out a foot and stepped on the elongated figure, bowing her head.
"That's not it, it's Jiujiang people."
"Then what about later, if there is any bloody episode, tell me about it too."
We walked slowly hand in hand, and stopped when we came to a wooden bridge, and I held on to the railing with both hands to look at the lights that loomed in the distance; She leaned her little hands against the railing, tilted her head slightly, and let the evening breeze blow through her hair.
I told her my story. I asked her, do you like to kiss him, and she said yes, and he said he liked the taste of my tongue, like lychee. I looked at her, she bowed her head shyly, and we crossed the small bridge, and there was a gazebo in front of it, and we sat down in the gazebo. There was silence and darkness all around, and the two of them felt each other's nervous and happy heartbeats.
......
With two days left until the end of the course, I was lying on my back on my bed with pillows in my hands, thinking about what had happened with Lynn last night.
Xiaobao was already washing up in the bathroom, and asked me why I couldn't get up yet, and if there were any after-school activities today, I said you should ask Teacher Ah Qiang.
When Xiaobao heard me talk about Teacher Ah Qiang, he suddenly leaned out of the bathroom and said, "After you went out last night, Teacher Ah Qiang came and asked me why you weren't there, and I said you went out for a walk." He said didn't you say you were going to organize your notes. Then he asked me if I had seen Lynn next door, and I said that I had been sorting through my notes and had not seen him. ”
"And then?" I asked.
"Later? Then he sat for a while, as if he had called someone, and left. ”
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with you and Mr. Ah Qiang, I think his face seems to be a little wrong." Xiaobao asked.
"It's okay, I just wanted to wander around by myself for a while yesterday, so I told him a little lie, he won't do it."
"Don't be funny, why are you wandering around for a while, the ghost only believes it." Xiaobao said while fiddling with his waxed hair in the mirror, "There didn't seem to be anyone in the next room last night, there was no movement at all, I heard that the sister in the opposite room knocked on the door of their house, and no one spoke." ”
"Oh, that's normal, they're both locals, and they're in the same district as here, so let's go home and live at night." I hurriedly explained.
After eating, I went to the roadside supermarket to buy two bottles of Nongfu Spring, and walked down the path to the classroom. On the way, I asked Xiaobao how he learned, whether the technique has improved, and he said that it was just like that, the key to this time is to learn some formulas, as for plastic surgery and fermentation, they are all similar to what the previous master taught.
I asked him if he wanted to go it alone or continue to work together. He said that he must continue to work in partnership, and he will dump his partner if he has hard wings, which is not in line with his values. I also secretly gave Xiaobao a thumbs up in my heart, thinking: It is really not easy to always maintain the original intention in this impetuous society.
When we came to the classroom, Lynn was already in the classroom, eating the bread we made in class yesterday by herself at the desk, and I said why is it just you, your best friend, she looked at me with a grin and said, "What, miss my best friend?" ”
I said, how dare you, people are iceberg snow lotus, and they will freeze people into ice cubes if they think about it.
"Okay, I'm kidding you, you're serious. She didn't come today, she went home last night, and the child at home may have a little cold and was a little worried, so she hurried back. After saying that, he didn't forget to blink, as if it meant that if it wasn't for yesterday's girlfriend's absence, last night's incident would not have happened.
I said, "Okay. ”
