Before Xu Mengzhou could react, Lin Yushan bounced off his shoulder with a "whoosh".

When the eyes met, only the cool breeze swept by the ears, carrying the river water quietly forward.

He had to admit that the girl's movements just now made him briefly dizzy for a while.

Fortunately, such intimate contact is just like a dragonfly touching water.

Xu Mengzhou blinked his eyelids unconsciously, glad that he didn't let out his emotions and shouldn't have lost his temper in front of her.

But why is she looking at herself like this now......

Lin Yushan put down the camera, propped his hands on the grass beside him and turned to look at him. She didn't look at how the picture was taken, as if taking pictures was just a means for her, and leaning on his shoulder was the goal.

There was a certain expectation in her eyes when she looked at the man, and there was a faint fear.

But why didn't Xu Mengzhou react at all......

Time stood still to make people panic, and Lin Yushan finally couldn't help but lower his head guiltily. Although this is indeed too sudden, she just wants to leave a photo with Xu Mengzhou.

"Lin Yushan." Xu Mengzhou called her name, and his voice was cold and deep.

It's over, did you offend him again?

Lin Yushan closed his eyes like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for criticism and education.

From childhood to adulthood, as long as Xu Mengzhou called her name, she felt that her entire back was half cold. It's the same as parents saying to their children, "Lao Tzu counts to three".

"I'm sorry," she whispered an apology.

The man's tone remained cold, "Raise your head." ”

Lin Yushan sighed as if he was dying, and raised his head.

The wind of the steppe brings up the residual leaves on the ground. A long withered grass was swept up by the wind and inserted into the top of Lin Yushan's hair impartially, but she didn't notice it herself.

Xu Mengzhou didn't take her seriously, he just wanted to scare her. The face is already stiff, and the next step is to "attack".

But now, the grass stuck in the girl's head is like a straight antenna, and with her heroic expression, it's really funny......

Xu Mengzhou felt that he was about to laugh, and immediately held back. The stiff face was in a dilemma between seizures and non-seizures, and in the end, he stubbornly tilted his head to the side before he broke his skills, and only then did he barely laugh.

Lin Yushan felt puzzled and embarrassed, he didn't know what the man was smiling at, he just felt that he didn't seem to be so angry.

For a moment, the man seemed to realize that his emotions had been released, so he restrained his smile a lot.

He raised his hand to pluck the dead grass from the girl's head, made a gesture of throwing a paper airplane, and threw it into the river with all his might, his expression returning to his usual gentle appearance.

“… Don't blame me? Lin Yushan asked tentatively.

"There's nothing strange about that." Xu Mengzhou's tone is neither salty nor light.

Lin Yushan immediately asked: "Then can I do this in the future?" ”

“……”

Expectedly silent, she changed the subject.

"Teacher Xu, if you want to laugh, you can laugh," Lin Yushan moved a few points closer to explore the man's expression: "You were obviously laughing just now, why do you always like to hold back, aren't we here to relax?" ”

In her memory, Xu Mengzhou rarely smiled in the past, although he became more cheerful after the divorce, he seemed to have a switch to control emotions, once the emotions were released to a certain extent, the switch would be turned off immediately, allowing the man to return to a stable initial state.

So until now, she felt that Xu Mengzhou was retracted, even sluggish.

Dullness... Is it?

Xu Mengzhou was stunned by this question. yes, it's supposed to be fun to come out and play. He was surprised that he didn't expect anyone to care about whether he smiled or not.

Except for his mother, no one in the family seemed to like to see him laugh.

Xu's father has always asked him as the heir to the business. He has been told since he was sensible that it is taboo to put emotions on his face. From this point of view, the invisibility of mood and anger is indeed the basic quality that a business heir should have.

It's just that Xu Mengzhou feels that this inevitably loses the basic characteristics of a "person".

Over the years, the two identities of "self" and "heir" have slowly evolved into their current self in the process of compromise or struggle.

A person who longs for truth, but because he has suppressed himself for a long time, he is even more bad at revealing the truth.

"Mr. Xu, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yushan tilted his head in front of the man.

“… Well, nothing. Xu Mengzhou withdrew from his memories and said to her: "You should be happy." By the way, do you want to teach me how to laugh? ”

Lin Yushan was puzzled: "Does this still need to be taught?" ”

"I really won't." The man shyly lifted his glasses, "... I'm talking about the kind of smile that I have in front of the camera, and I don't. ”

Lin Yushan patted his chest confidently, picked up the camera from the ground, and said while unscrewing the lens cap: "There is a way, you believe me, I promise to let you learn in a second." ”

"How?"

She pointed the camera at Xu Mengzhou, "Come, look here." ”

Xu Mengzhou let her fiddle, adjusted her posture unfamiliarly, and finally looked at the camera.

"Three, two, one! Laugh! ”

Taking advantage of the man's inattention, Lin Yushan immediately stretched his claws into his neck with lightning speed, and pressed the shutter with a "click" with his right hand.

Xu Mengzhou really laughed this time, or he couldn't control it.

“……”

"Lin Yushan, stop! I counted to three! ”

-----

Xu Mengzhou had other arrangements later, and the two did not continue to stay in Baihaba Village.

At noon, they had a hearty meal at a nearby herdsman's house. According to the custom here, visitors only need to pay some money to the host's family, and the herders will treat the guests to the best food in the house.

Before leaving, the two went to the gas station to fill up the car's fuel tank. When passing by the Baihaba Village Post Office, Lin Yushan was attracted by the signboard outside.

Here you can buy postcards with local specialties that you can take home or send away.

Lin Yushan thought for a moment, filled in the address on the selected postcard, and let it slowly travel through most of China and deliver it to Yao Qing.

The SUV drove tirelessly towards Lake Kanas, and as they passed through an unknown hamlet, they came across a Kazakh wedding.

Xu Mengzhou knew that Lin Yushan was watching, so he slowed down the car.

A pickup wedding car is covered with felt with Kazakh motifs, which looks like a small wedding room that has been carefully dressed. The bride and groom, dressed in national costumes, surrounded by relatives and friends, slowly walked to the wedding car that represented happiness with a smile.

Xu is the environment in northern Xinjiang away from the hustle and bustle that gave her courage. Lin Yushan lowered the car window, put his hands to his lips, and shouted in a long voice in the air.

"Hello——! I wish you all happiness——! ”

The bride and groom in the wedding car looked out the window at the SUV that was parallel to them, and their beautiful amber eyes fell on Lin Yushan and Xu Mengzhou.

The Kazakh bride stuck her head out of the window and shouted in a non-standard Chinese: "I wish you happiness too——! ”

Lin Yushan was surprised and delighted, and didn't know what to say for a while. She shouted loudly, "Thank you!" I lend you good words——! ”

Xu Mengzhou silently stepped on the accelerator deeper, Lin Yushan's center of gravity was unstable, and he fell back into his seat full of joy.

In the afternoon, arrive at Jia Dengyu. This is the starting point for the hike.

Autumn in Kanas has arrived. As they walked along the riverside boardwalk, the damp moisture of the birch forest enveloped them at once, and the crevices of the plank path were densely weeded, and it was impossible to distinguish whether there was a wetland or dry soil underneath.

Lin Yushan changed back to the appearance of the young eagle and ran freely in the mountains. Occasionally chase the passing cattle and sheep and take pictures with them; Occasionally, I found a mushroom that had just emerged in the grass, so I brushed off the fallen leaves and carefully dug it out, and handed it to the man like a treasure.

He saw with his own eyes that the smile returned to Lin Yushan's face.

The man followed her as closely as ever, doing the thread that held her together.

Time flies. At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Yushan gradually coughed a little, and Xu Mengzhou took her back to tonight's resting place.

The familiar cabin appeared in front of him, and Lin Yushan was a little dumbfounded. Xu Mengzhou explained to her that in addition to Hemu Village, there are actually many such wooden houses and homestays in the entire Altay area.

As for why you should stay here. The man said that this is the best place to watch the sunshine of the Golden Mountain.

That night, the bloody situation of broken windows or power outages did not reappear, and they each slept soundly.

I woke up at seven o'clock the next day, and it was still dark. After breakfast, they reached the top of the hill in a herdsman's carriage. By this time, the sky was slowly brightening.

Xu Mengzhou found a suitable viewing position according to the herdsman's guidance and asked Lin Yushan to come and sit down.

Lin Yushan found that there was also a small wooden house nearby, but now it seemed that there was no one.

"Mr. Xu, let's go up to the roof, will this have a better perspective!" She tucked her long hair behind her back and started to climb.

I thought that this pointed roof would be very uncomfortable, but I didn't expect it to be good to sit on. Lin Yushan glanced at the time and held the camera firmly with both hands.

Last night, she had already adjusted the camera parameters in her room overnight, just waiting for the moment when the sun shined on Jinshan to capture the picture in her dream.

Xu Mengzhou tightened the knitted scarf around Lin Yushan's neck, and his tone was a little displeased: "When you went up to the roof, did your right foot step on the air?" Yesterday afternoon, when you were hiking, you jumped down on such a high railing, aren't you afraid? ”

"I'm measured." The girl was still fiddling with the camera with her head down.

Xu Mengzhou was a little worried. But when he looked at the side of her face, an uncontrollable emotion was about to move, as if something in her heart had been awakened by her.

Under Lin Yushan's bleak side face, there is a rebellious and wanton attitude that is completely different from the past. The more flamboyant she was, the more he was attracted to her.

"Actually, it's a pity," Xu Mengzhou looked at the gradually brightening sky and said, "I heard that the winter in Altay is very beautiful, and there was snow all over the mountains at that time. The roof where we sit now is also covered with snow in winter, and I heard that there are so many people who need to go up to the roof to help shovel it off. ”

Lin Yushan looked at him, "Why do you want to shovel it?" It should be beautiful to pile on top, and it has a Christmas feel. ”

Xu Mengzhou smiled faintly, and exhaled a faint trace of white gas from his mouth: "If you don't shovel, the house will collapse." ”

Well, she really didn't expect the snow here to be so powerful.

"Teacher Xu, don't feel pity." Lin Yushan approached him and handed him a comforting look, "I think, every season here should be beautiful." ”

She turned her head, looked at the towering snow-capped mountains in front of her, and muttered, "As long as I am with you, no matter where I am now, it is beautiful in my eyes." ”

"Yes."

The fog at the top of the mountain swirled between the two of them, and a little golden light was already eager to penetrate the clouds.

"Can you answer me now, you're on me... What exactly does it feel like? Lin Yushan calmly moved his gaze back to Xu Mengzhou's face.

"At this time, it is impossible to confirm." The man replied decisively this time.

Can't confirm... So, is he confirming his intentions?

Lin Yushan's eyes lit up instantly. She furrowed her brow to probe him, as if to find a clue in his slightly hesitant face.

He seems to have a good impression of himself.

Even if they were uncertain before, from the beginning of this trip to Altay to the present, the atmosphere between them has quietly undergone inexplicable changes.

The man no longer immediately avoided her and drew a line with her.

She even noticed that he seemed to be starting... Pampered her.

She asked, "Teacher Xu, do you remember that you owe me a wish before?" ”

Xu Mengzhou knew that she was talking about the time she was drunk and gaffe, and the promise she made to her.

He replied, "Yes." ”

Lin Yushan continued to ask: "Can you do whatever you want?" ”

Word by word, solemn.

The man's eyes were still looking at the snowy mountain calmly, and he said, "Yes." ”

She's sure.

Xu Mengzhou is indeed conniving at her.

She looked at him generously.

"I want to kiss you... May I? ”

There was a long silence.

Has the promise been broken ......?

"If you promised, you can't go back."

Her eyes quickly turned red with sadness, and her voice trembled, almost pleading.

"Don't look at me, don't answer me. As long as you don't dodge, don't dodge... Can......? ”

The top of the snow-capped mountain was dyed a sacred golden yellow by the sunlight for a moment, and the heat dispelled the hazy fog that lingered around the mountain.

The man took off the rimless glasses and made eye contact with hers.

Heaven and earth are chaotic and unclear, only her eyebrows and eyes are unforgettable.

The clouds gradually faded, and the golden light gently sprinkled over the top of the snow-capped mountains. The moment the light enveloped their bodies, Xu Mengzhou kissed her on the lips desperately.

"Teacher Xu has finally stood up! Don't you chase more friends give a score and vote for a must-read vote! As the mother of the two of them, I just want to say: give Lao Tzu a kiss! Kiss to death!"
