Chapter 268: Tanabata

Ricky hovered down the street, looking up ahead, distant buildings hidden in the hazy night.

He looked around, and the pedestrians around him passed one after another, all unfamiliar faces.

Looking at the traffic light not far away, Riich felt that he was standing on the crossroads, but he didn't know where to go.

He was stimulated by alcohol, and the blood in Riich's heart was expanding.

With a few bloodshots in his eyes, he watched the cars pass by, making a "swish" whistling sound.

Riich lifted her feet and walked quickly through the streets.

The concrete building hidden in the night, like a statue of a god towering in the sky, looked down at the pedestrians walking underfoot.

At the foot of this tall building, Riich felt like an ant, breathing in the gap between existence.

He thought of Yuxi and Nangong Lin, now he can make a choice between the two of them, and he doesn't need to be like some men, like beggars, hoping that the women around him will give a little love.

In this regard, perhaps Ricky is very lucky to have two women who love him, but some men are forgotten in the corner by love.

But Riich felt that he did not have this self-confidence, and he was afraid of losing love.

But he still has a trace of worry, worried that one misstep will become a thousand years of hatred, and he will become a pitiful worm abandoned by others.

Riich walks on thin ice and is cautious, although he has plenty of options, but in the face of the offensive of love, he feels like he is about to be a captive.

He didn't dare to accept Nangong Lin's love, for fear of losing his beloved Yuxi because of this.

Although many people will step on two boats, Riich does not have the guts.

But he regretted that he had such an opportunity, but he did not dare to take advantage of it.

Riich's heart is struggling, wanting to break free from the love network, but she is nostalgic for the warmth and affection in this network.

He walked slowly, and the residual heat still remained in his heart, making him inevitably want to recall what Nangong Lin had said.

Indeed, that tenderness did make him feel warm, but he feared that behind this warmth was an impenetrable net that covered him and made him unable to break free.

But Nangong Lin's eyes were like a torrent that immersed him in it, and he couldn't extricate himself.

Rui Qi suppressed the desire in his heart, wanting to forget Nangong Lin's eyes, he held his breath, and then slowly spit it out, dissipating the thoughts in his head with the air in the wind.

He felt a burst of depression, so he sighed casually, shook his head and continued walking.

It seemed that there was still a long way to go home, and he could only move forward step by step.

Riich felt a shell over him, desperately trying to restrain him from moving.

He wanted to break free, but he couldn't.

The leather shoes on the feet reflect the light of the roadside street lamps, moving forward step by step, and the two feet seem to step on a certain rhythm, full of regularity.

Occasional music from a storefront on the street makes Riich's pace more regular.

He walked step by step, sweat slowly pouring out of his body.

"It's hot!"

Riich felt unusually boiled and couldn't help but blurt out.

Suddenly, a young girl rushed over on the side of the road: "Sir, do you want to buy roses?

When Ruiqi looked up, he saw a face that was still immature, his face was very delicate, and he was looking at him eagerly with a pair of red phoenix eyes, holding a large handful of roses in his arms.

The girl handed Riich a wrapped rose, and the blooming flowers were particularly beautiful.

"Sir, do you want to buy one? It's only ten yuan. ”

With longing in her eyes, the girl seemed to be begging the neatly dressed young man in front of her to buy a rose for her sweetheart.

Riich stopped and looked at the flowers for a moment of silence.

"I didn't expect the Qixi Festival to arrive so soon, but Yuxi didn't tell me, otherwise it might have been planned for tonight. ”

"Did she forget?"

Richie wondered, picked up the rose and put it in his nose and smelled it, it was very fragrant and refreshing.

Riich said casually: "Then buy one, how much?"

The little girl smiled beautifully: "Ten dollars!"

Riich smiled slightly, took out her wallet, twisted up a ten-yuan sheet and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl quickly delivered the roses to Riich, collected the ten yuan and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Then she ran to another young man who came and sold her flowers.

Riich sniffed the rose carefully, it was indeed very fragrant, and there were a few crystal droplets on it, which seemed to be very fresh.

He held the rose in his hand and said silently in his heart: "Wait a minute, give it to Yuxi! Today is the Qixi Festival, I didn't even ask her to go to dinner, and I didn't even have time to buy a gift, so I just gave her a rose to express my meaning." ”

Twenty minutes later, Riich returned home.

Yuxi was lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV, and when she saw Riich come in, she sat up.

"Ricky, you're back, why are you so late, where have you been?"

Yuxi looked a little surprised.

Ricky pursed her lips and smiled, holding up the rose in her hand.

"Honey, what do I give you?"

Yuxi looked at the flowers in Ruiqi's hand with a little surprise on her face.

"Did you give it to me? thank you!"

After saying that, he walked over with his slippers.

Yuxi took the flowers in Ruiqi's hand, raised them to her nose and smelled them: "It's so fragrant, where did you buy it?"

Riich put his arm on Yuxi's shoulder, "I bought it on the road." ”

Yuxi smiled: "Did you meet the flower girl?"

Ruich said in a low voice: "Yes, today is the Qixi Festival, so I bought a rose for you." ”

Yuxi was surprised: "Qixi Festival?"

Rui Qi was surprised, didn't Yuxi know that today was Tanabata?

Yuxi was silent: "Oh, I forgot. ”

Riich felt funny, it turned out that Yuxi didn't remember, and if he didn't meet the flower girl, he wouldn't know.

Ricky suddenly wondered if the two of them were a pair of fools, and neither of them knew what holiday it was.

Fortunately, there is a flower girl, otherwise this day passed like this.

Ruiqi pulled Yuxi to the sofa and sat down, Yuxi was wearing plain white pajamas, her hair hanging down her chest, and her beautiful fair skin was exposed between the low collars.

Between this plain white, there are ups and downs, bumps and bumps.

Ruiqi couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and was embarrassed to stare blankly, so he hugged Yuxi in his arms.

Yuxi snuggled up to Riich, still fiddling with the flowers in her hand.

She stroked the delicate petals with her fingertips, the droplets staining her nails.

Riich simply lay on the couch and relaxed.

I've been walking for a long time and my feet are a little sore.

Ruiqi rubbed her toes and felt very uncomfortable, so she said to Yuxi: "Honey, my feet are sore, can you help me pinch my feet?"

Yuxi listened: "What, help you pinch your toes, your feet are so smelly, you still want me to pinch them?"

Ruiqi kissed Yuxi on the forehead: "Pinch it, pinch it, I'm tired, I walked for so long before I came back, good wife help!"

Yuxi stretched out her little fist and slapped Riich's thigh fiercely: "Pinch ten yuan!"

Riich pointed to the rose: "Isn't this ten dollars! Ten dollars bought!"

Yuxi raised willow eyebrows: "Count you ruthless, I'll help you pinch it, and then wash your hands later!"

After saying that, Yuxi climbed to the other end of the sofa, grabbed Riich's toes and squeezed them hard.

Ruiqi screamed in pain: "Yuxi, don't be so hard!"

Yuxi pinched Ruiqi's big toe and shook it: "Okay, it shouldn't hurt!"

Riich withdrew her feet in disappointment: "Your wife really doesn't feel sorry for me, and you are so impatient to pinch your feet!"

Yuxi crawled over and put the finger that had pinched Rich's foot in front of his nose: "You smell it, what does it smell like?"

Ruiqi stretched out his hand and brushed away Yuxi's fingers: "What do you mean? Don't your feet smell like this?" and said I, go wash your hands and use more soap. ”

Yuxi was unwilling, smiled evilly and rubbed her fingers on Riich's clothes, and then walked into the bathroom with her slippers.

Ruiqi frowned, dusted off her clothes, angry and funny, "This Yuxi is so naughty!

After a while, Yuxi washed his hands, shook the water droplets on his hands and walked out, sat next to Ruiqi, and rubbed a pair of wet hands on his clothes: "Okay, wash it, do you smell it?"

After saying that, he put his hand under Riich's nose.

Ruiqi wanted to take a bite, but he looked at Yuxi's naughty expression and felt itchy in his heart, so he pulled Yuxi's arm and hugged Yuxi into his arms and kissed him.

Yuxi was caught off guard by Riich in his arms, struggling to break free from his embrace.

For a long time, Ruiqi let go of Yuxi, and Yuxi hurriedly said: "Look at your dirty, a smell of alcohol, are you drinking?" ”

Riich fell on his back: "Just drank a little, it's not a big deal." ”

Yuxi stretched out her voice: "I just drank a little, I don't think it's it!"

Riich held out a finger: "A bottle, it's a small bottle of sake!"

Yuxi pinched Ruiqi's ears: "You can really enjoy it, you actually drink sake, and you don't ask me to go with you!"

Richie lied: "What are you going to do with the guests?"

Yuxi spat out a mouthful of orchid incense: "If you don't want to call me, forget it, it seems that you think I'm a bit of a hindrance, right?"

Ricky disagreed: "Who dislikes you, can you drink? What does a girl's family do with the old man?"

Yuxi clapped her palms: "No, forget it, I don't want to drink anyway, you can drink yours, if you are drunk, you can just sleep on the street." ”

Ricky chuckled: "Sleep on the street, aren't you coming to me?"

Yuxi leaned her head comfortably on Ruiqi's chest: "I'm not looking for you? Who knows where you sleep? Do you want me to look for you with a flashlight in the middle of the night?"

Rui Qi was speechless: "Then I'll sleep on the street in the future, but I'll sleep with you first today!"

After speaking, Ruiqi picked up Yuxi and pressed it under him.

Yuxi struggled, but still obeyed Riich.

Ruiqi feels that he has never been so forgetful, he enjoys Yuxi's gentleness very much, and he will never forget this moment.

In the depths of Riich's heart, I always feel a sense of déjà vu with Yuxi.

It's familiar, but I've seen it somewhere.

Could it be that he still retains the shadow of Yuxi's previous life in the depths of his soul, so he is so familiar with her, and he has never felt strange.

He always felt that there was a tacit understanding with Yuxi, and he never felt unfamiliar, which made him think that Yuxi was his lover in his previous life, although he was a little skeptical of what he said in his previous life, but he still retained a trace of trust.

Therefore, he would rather believe that this is true than suspect that Yuxi has nothing to do with him.
