The next day, early in the morning.

The dry air irritated his nasal cavity, and Lin Yushan sniffed out a little uncomfortably and slowly opened his eyes.

Outside the window, the sky was turning white, and she rubbed her messy hair and sat up from the bed wrapped in the quilt. Xu Mengzhou was not in the room and didn't know where he went.

She glanced at her phone, and it was past six in the morning.

Put on your slippers and get out of bed and go to the toilet to wash up. Lin Yushan approached the mirror and touched his face with his hand, and a fresh black green appeared under his eyes, because he didn't sleep well last night.

Sleeping in the same room as the man she was thinking about, her thinking has been completely unrestrained, and she has a sense of shame that she was caught cheating by the teacher. I was so hot that I tossed and turned in bed all night, and I could only keep repeating the action of watching the time lock screen, and it was estimated that the time I really fell asleep was about four hours.

The door creaked open, and Xu Mengzhou returned. He still carried two bowls of milk skins with thick fat floating in his hands, and a bag of baked naan hanging from his fingers.

He insisted on going out for breakfast, as before. But this time the man didn't wake her up and brought her back directly.

Lin Yushan put the towel away, came out and took the bowl of hot milk skin in Xu Mengzhou's hand into his hand.

"Early." The man greeted her briefly.

"Early."

The lines of sight met for only two seconds, and then they were withdrawn.

Breakfast was served on the coffee table, and the room was immediately filled with the mellow smell of milk and the burnt aroma of roasted naan.

Lin Yushan asked, "Did you buy it at a nearby breakfast shop?" ”

"The boss sent it." Xu Mengzhou broke the baked naan through a plastic bag and handed her a piece, "I said that I didn't entertain well yesterday, and I specially left us two breakfasts, and there will be workers to repair them later." ”

Lin Yushan thought while chewing on the roasted naan that so far she would prefer to choose to sleep well for a good night than to live in the same room.

"How did you sleep last night?"

The crumbs of the roasted naan choked into the throat at once. Lin Yushan took a sip of the milk skin, and said a little reluctantly: "It's okay." ”

She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Xu Mengzhou's face.

Men have always had good skin, but today an inconspicuous red pox suddenly appeared at the hairline of the forehead.

After the two of them finished breakfast neatly, Lin Yushan went to the bathroom to change into the clothes he was going to wear today, and specially prepared a set of thicker autumn clothes and put them in the car.

"Shall we go now?" Lin Yushan changed his shoes and was about to go out, when he caught a glimpse of Xu Mengzhou hunched over and rummaging in his backpack.

"Brought it." After he finished confirming, he turned his head and asked Lin Yushan: "By the way, do you want to put on makeup today?" ”

Lin Yushan didn't react at first, why the man suddenly asked her to put on makeup. It wasn't until Xu Mengzhou took out a camera from her backpack, picked it up and shook it lightly, that she understood what he meant.

Lin Yushan felt surprised and novel, he actually wanted to take a picture of himself.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a guy who is used to taking pictures of girls. Lin Yushan remembers very well that he never takes selfies himself, and almost never takes pictures of others. The only photo in that small villa was the wedding photo of him and Huang Ying.

Lin Yushan's eyes widened and asked him with interest: "When did you buy the camera?" ”

"The night I decided to take you on my trip."

Xu Mengzhou also stuffed the two spare camera batteries into his bag and said slowly: "When I drove home, I happened to pass by a camera store, so I went in and took a look." I don't understand this, the shopping guide recommended me that this is good, so I bought it. ”

The model of the camera in his hand is Nikon Z8, and the single camera does not include about 30,000 lenses. Lin Yushan can't see the lens model, anyway, one set may exceed 40,000. However, there is no need to buy such an expensive portrait, this straight man is estimated to have been slaughtered by the shopping guide......

Maybe girls naturally have no resistance to taking beautiful photos. Lin Yushan has always wanted to own a camera, but the money from working as a part-time tutor is only enough to cover her monthly living expenses, and the camera is too expensive for her.

Xu Mengzhou is a kind of confusing person.

can only blame him for always showing himself as a low-key and introverted teacher, and he almost forgot his superior family background. Buying a camera is as common as buying a bottle of water at the school commissary.

She sighed for a moment, asked Xu Mengzhou to wait for her for about half an hour, and entered the bathroom with a long skirt and makeup bag.

Before leaving Jingzhou, Yao Qing added some "ingredients" to her makeup bag. For example, false eyelashes that I never usually use, and red lipsticks with attractive colors.

Lin Yushan imagined that scene for a moment and shivered.

Xu Mengzhou lazily leaned in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the birch forest across the stream. But gradually, the light of his eyes involuntarily shifted to the direction of the bathroom.

A ray of sunlight hit Lin Yushan's soft long hair through the window glass, gilding her silhouette with a soft pale gold. The bathroom door was ajar, and Xu Mengzhou could clearly see her leaning over to trace in the mirror.

She was wearing a loose gray coffee knitted suspender dress, and her figure was slender and cold. Through the thin cold gray long-sleeved cardigan outside, you can even see the shape of her shoulder blades protruding slightly.

The light gradually changed angles with her movements, as if it naturally emanated from her, like a goddess.

She pulled her hair behind her ears and laid it lazily around her neck, curling it in a seductive arc.

Xu Mengzhou realized that his vision was a little out of control, and his eyes deliberately avoided it. But reason seems to have been occupied by an inexplicable desire to explore.

Look back at the original place.

Why did she wear lipstick with her fingers?

The long fingers curled to pick up a bit of lipstick, and the fingertips were stained with a deep crimson. The more the man looked at it, the more he felt that her fingers resembled the delicate seals that were loved by the literati and ink writers of ancient times.

For a moment, the fingers had touched two soft lips, sometimes sinking in, sometimes bouncing. With a light touch like a painting, the place where your fingertips reach immediately comes alive.

For the first time in his life, a man intuitively understood the meaning of the word "dotted lips".

Xu Mengzhou was a little confused, this emotion that could not be explained by reason appeared again, and his throat couldn't help but be thirsty. He forced himself to stand up, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, turned his back to her and took a few sips.

Lin Yushan finally drew a few eyebrows, and the makeup was completed. In the end, she still wore her daily makeup and a little more apricot blush on her cheeks.

"Let's go!" After putting on makeup, she came out of the bathroom full of energy, picked up the backpack from the bed and handed it to Xu Mengzhou.

Seeing that he didn't seem to hear it, Lin Yushan gently patted the man's arm, "Teacher Xu, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Well, let's go." Xu Mengzhou didn't look at her, hooked the backpack from her palm and walked out of the door.

……

Today's destination is the village of Baihaba.

On the way to their destination, the officers at the border checkpoint stopped their car, and the two went to the checkpoint to apply for a border pass before continuing their way.

Lin Yushan came out of the checkpoint to learn that Baihaba Village was a small border village adjacent to Kazakhstan.

The car seemed to be driving aimlessly. Lin Yushan happily closed his eyes and lay in front of the car window, letting the breeze blow his hair. Along the way, she saw patrolling border guards and military dogs, as well as the meandering Haba River.

Xu Mengzhou turned into a narrow path and told her to get out of the car.

She had only seen the word "border" in textbooks, and when they got out of the car, the legendary small boundary monument stood prominently in front of their eyes.

To the north is the uninhabited foreign border, and the magnificent Grand Canyon and boundary monuments on the Sino-Kazakh border divide the territory of the two countries. There was a golden cloud floating overhead above the canyon, and Lin Yushan couldn't help but look at it, curious whether it would land in Kazakhstan or China.

"Yushan, come here." Xu Mengzhou beckoned to her.

Lin Yushan ran over excitedly, and when he saw him fiddling with the camera a little at a loss, he wanted to teach him.

"Mr. Xu, do you know how to adjust the parameters?" She winked at the man.

"Hmm..."Xu Mengzhou looked down at the small screen and said very seriously: "I can understand every noun, but I don't know how to combine it to make it look good." ”

Lin Yushan squinted his eyes and teased him, "I'll take you to Moon Lake Park when you return to Jingzhou." There are a lot of retired old people over there who carry cannons to shoot lotus flowers, so you can learn more from them. ”

“……”

"I'll try," Lin Yushan took the camera from the man's hand and adjusted the shutter speed and aperture according to the tutorial on the memory net. She pinpointed the angle and pressed the shutter on the golden cloud in the canyon.

"It's a good shot." Xu Mengzhou approached her and looked at the screen. An approving smile appeared on his face.

Lin Yushan took advantage of him approaching him, raised his camera and took a picture of the man.

Xu Mengzhou was a little stunned by the sudden capture, the corners of his lips were a little shyly hooked, and he approached her again to look at the screen.

Even if the man was suddenly captured by her, his body did not shake at all. He carried his backpack, held the strap with both hands, and looked at the camera with clear eyes containing the mountain mist, and his lips pursed slightly.

He didn't laugh, his appearance was more moving than laughing.

Lin Yushan feels that men are like water that embraces all things. She looked at the picture and was speechless.

"Not bad... Mr. Xu, take a picture for me! Lin Yushan handed the camera to Xu Mengzhou with some shyness, and stood beside the boundary monument with his hands clasped in a proper manner.

Xu Mengzhou took the camera, the lens was aimed at Lin Yushan, and his eyes focused on her light face in the monitor.

A gust of wind lifted the corners of her skirt, and strands of hair covered half of her cheeks. She shook her hair and brushed her hand away, revealing a big smile.

Xu Mengzhou pressed the shutter to make up for the beat of his heart skipping.

Originally, this camera was specially bought to take pictures of Lin Yushan, but later, she took pictures of herself up and down with the camera. The man had no choice but to let her manipulate his stiff limbs.

There are a few photos that are particularly funny, Lin Yushan was about to laugh over, and Xu Mengzhou laughed with her.

As long as she's happy, the trip is worth it.

The two took a lot of photos of each other at the boundary marker. Later, Lin Yushan proposed to drive the car to the Haba River and then take a walk along the river.

Walking to the river, they sat side by side on the golden meadow. The pebbles at the bottom of the Haba River were washed round by the clear water, and Lin Yushan closed his eyes and breathed in the purest air in northern Xinjiang.

The man kept looking at her. For a moment, it was impossible to tell if the journey was to heal her, or if she had healed herself.

The backwater-like life seems to have rippled again because of her.

After a moment, Lin Yushan opened his eyes, and Xu Mengzhou turned his head.

She asked, "Teacher Xu... Didn't we take pictures together? ”

Xu Mengzhou thought for a moment, as if yes.

In his concept, taking pictures is something that only families with harmonious relationships do. After the relationship between his parents deteriorated, Xu Mengzhou did not take photos with his father again.

"Let's take a group photo, okay?" Lin Yushan made a request.

The man hesitated because he wouldn't be smiling at the camera.

"Okay." In the end, he still couldn't stand Lin Yushan's blazing eyes.

Lin Yushan happily approached the man's side, first flipped the display screen over, raised the camera high with his right hand, and aimed the lens at himself and Xu Mengzhou.

"Mr. Xu, look at the camera."

The man's gaze finds the camera, trying to make a natural smile.

"Three, two, one!"

Lin Yushan pressed the shutter.

She snuggled up to Xu Mengzhou and gently buried her head in his neck socket.
