Ai Qing didn't expect his body to be so weak.

When he climbed to the highest part of Lin Pingshan's opening to the outside world, he was already tired and panting, his legs were a little soft, and his forehead and back were sweating.

Blown by the cold wind in the mountains in the early morning, I felt a little cold, and there was a chill in my body.

Looking ahead, it is the Donglai Pavilion on Linping Mountain, and in front of it is a small square, Ai Qing and Xiaoyu climbed here, so they found a bench next to them and sat down.

Blown a little cold by the wind, Ai Qing glanced at the coat tied around Xiaoyu's waist, coughed twice, and asked, "Are you cold?" ”

"It's not cold." Xiao Yu shook his head, wondering why Ai Qing was asking this.

In fact, she didn't feel that tired, it was just normal exercise consumption, and she didn't even use the auxiliary function of the warm current.

If you infuse your legs with warm currents, Xiaoyu feels that she can reach the top of the mountain in ten minutes, instead of walking and stopping like now, and it takes more than half an hour to climb here.

"Then lend me your coat." Ai Qing stretched out his hand to untie the knot on the sleeve of his blue coat, and quickly put it on himself, finally feeling a little better, not so cold, "There is no one here, don't worry about the tail exposed, I'll pay you back when I go down the mountain in a while." ”

"So, now?" Xiaoyu asked, tilting his head.

"Ahem, now let's rest for a while, and then we'll go to the top floor of this Donglai Pavilion to watch the sunrise." Ai Qing took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, "It's five and seven o'clock, let's rest until fifteen, let me slow down first." ”

"Oh, good." Xiaoyu sat down obediently, silently approached Ai Qing, pasted with him, and sucked Ai Qing's warm current, and then she touched her straw hat and asked in a low voice, "Then, can I pick it?" ”

Hearing her say this, Ai Qing looked around and confirmed that no one was climbing the mountain at this point, so he nodded and said, "Let's pick it for a while to breathe." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Yu nodded happily, and quickly took off his straw hat, and the pure white cat ears on his head fanned a few times, as if he was also relaxing for finally breathing.

Ai Qing looked at her cat ears, they were so cute, she couldn't help but raise her hand, touch her head, and pinch the pair of cat ears by the way.

"Hmm......" Xiaoyu blinked, and the cat's ears shook twice unconsciously, a little sensitive.

Then, Ai Qing looked curiously at the human ear hidden in the long snow-white hair, and asked, "I didn't care before, can you hear sounds in this ear?" ”

Feeling Ai Qing's hand touching his earlobe, Xiao Yu subconsciously raised his hand and touched the human ear, and then nodded: "Yes." ”

Hiss...... It's amazing.

"Then how did it feel to listen to me while wearing a straw hat just now?"

"It's just, it's stuffy, it's clear, it's sandwiched, it's uncomfortable." Xiao Yu struggled to organize her language to express what she had just felt.

Well, it's like having one ear in the water and the other outside the water, and it's really uncomfortable.

"Then don't wear it now, and put it on when you go down the mountain." Ai Qing took the straw hat and put it on his head directly.

The two of them sat together, looking at the high Donglai Pavilion on the side, and then at the winding road up the mountain below, surrounded by dense and deep woods, and listened carefully, as if there were still birdsong in the morning, and the sound of countless insects hidden in the grass.

Ai Qing pointed to the mountain road and said to Xiaoyu: "Do you know, when I was in elementary school, I participated in the mountain climbing competition in my grandfather's community, and finally won the first prize. ”

"Match!" The little fish's eyes lit up and he asked, "Rabbit, turtle, race!" ”

"Ah, that's pretty much it." Ai Qing understood what Xiaoyu meant, nodded and said, "I'm the number one, it's amazing." ”

"Awesome!" Xiao Yu nodded vigorously.

Cough...... Ai Qing finished pretending, touched his nose, and thought to himself that at that time, only the old man and the old lady participated in the competition, and it was normal for him to win.

At that time, he was sick and asked for leave at home, and he happened to be sick but hadn't returned to school yet, so he followed his grandfather to join in the fun.

Originally, it was just a small competition held by the neighborhood committee, and everyone was having fun, so that Ai Qing won the first place, and everyone laughed.

Now that I think about it, I was really thick-skinned at that time.

It is said that a good education can make people know how to be modest and courteous, and the students who teach in this way are often thin-skinned.

But when it comes to society, you have to stick back layers of cheekiness and become cheeky again, otherwise you will often only be taken advantage of by others and lose your own interests.

"Next time, we'll play." Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Yu said with some expectation, "Reward!" ”

Well, I just want a reward.

"You might as well just say what you want." Ai Qing shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself that with his current physical strength, unless Xiao Yu was the stupid rabbit in the tortoise and rabbit race, how could he possibly win.

"I want, I want, I don't ......want it," Xiao Yu frowned in distress, pursed his mouth, and thought for a while before his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I want a coat!" ”

Ai Qing: "...... Yes? ”

Blinking, Ai Qing was a little confused, subconsciously looked at the dress on Xiaoyu's body, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Do you feel a little cold?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Yu shook his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he asked this.

"Then what do you want a coat for?" Ai Qing looked puzzled, "It's going to be summer in a while, and it's going to be very hot to wear a coat, so I'll buy you a new coat when it's autumn." ”

The main reason is that he doesn't have any money now, at least he has to wait for the manuscript fee to be issued next month to be more relaxed.

And he also plans to buy a mobile phone for Xiaoyu first, so that the money to buy a coat can be saved.

But Xiaoyu quickly explained in a whisper: "No, buy, yes, want, this." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yu tugged at the sleeve of the blue coat on Ai Qing's body, his face was serious and sincere.

Ai Qing plucked out his ears to make sure he heard correctly.

"What do you want this coat for? It's not suitable for girls. ”

"I like it." Xiaoyu replied honestly.

Could it be that it was because of the first clothes he wore after becoming a human being, so he wore out his feelings?

Ai Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, thinking that he didn't lack such a coat, and if Xiaoyu liked it, it wouldn't be impossible.

"If you really want it, you can give it to you." Ai Qing touched his chin and said, "But don't do anything strange with it." ”

"What, strange?" Xiao Yu asked suspiciously.

"When I didn't say it." Ai Qing waved his hand, glanced at the time, and felt that he was almost rested, so he stood up with his knees and stretched out his hand to Xiaoyu, "Let's go, let's go upstairs and watch the sunrise." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, shook it with Ai Qing, and got up from the chair.

The two of them walked in the direction of the East Pavilion.

In the early hours of the morning, Donglai Pavilion did not open, and the staff had not yet gone to work.

But Ai Qing has Ai Qing's way.

Growing up in Linping District, he naturally knows how to go through the back door of this Donglai Pavilion.

Pulling Xiaoyu through this complex, he got into it from a staircase on the side, climbed a few flights of stairs all the way, found the opening on the third floor and didn't lock the door, then opened the door and slipped in.

The electric gate is closed, and the elevator can't go, but there are already sightseeing stairs here to continue climbing.

This is bitter, Ai Qing.

The nine-story Donglai Pavilion climbed his legs with sore and heavy weights.

In particular, each floor has to be five or six meters high, not just the height of the first floor of an ordinary building.

When he finally climbed to the top floor, he felt that his legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his brain was a little numb and dizzy.

The little fish on the side breathed steadily, holding Ai Qing's arm, and absorbing a little more warm current by the way, so that he would not turn back into a cat so early.

But it's been a long time since she's become human.

Since about two o'clock in the morning, she has already overflowed with warm currents, turned into a human form, and sneaked out of the bedroom in order not to disturb Ai Qing's rest.

By now, it's close to half past five, and it's already approaching the limit.

But she still wants to keep her body alive and see this sunrise.

"You see, the outline of the sun can be seen faintly." Ai Qing stood beside Xiao Yu, panting with one hand on his waist, and pointing into the distance on the other, with both a struggle after collapse and a satisfied smile on his face.

"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded, silently counting the warm currents in his body that were gradually depleting, and suddenly turned his head to Ai Qing and said, "I, a little, cold." ”

"Huh?" When Ai Qing heard her say this, he subconsciously wanted to take off his coat.

But Xiao Yu stopped him, but walked in front of Ai Qing, turned his back to him, turned his head and said, "You, it's also cold, like this, it's not cold." ”

As she spoke, she took Ai Qing's hand and wrapped it around her waist.

This moment.

The warm current is like a strong tree, deeply rooted in her depths.

The red sun rose in the distance, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, gilding them with a layer of golden light at this moment.

Ai Qing was holding the girl in her arms.

The girl looks at the sunrise.

Xiao Yu remembered the way Ai Qing opened the Chinese textbook, and his words at that time rang in his ears.

"The sun is against the moon, the water is against the fire, the sun is the sun, you see the window hanging in the sky, the one that has been shining, that's it."

The little fish reflected the sunshine and colorful glow in his eyes, and whispered in exclamation:

"It's beautiful."
