Chapter 169: The Girl Who Climbed the Wall
The Summer Palace is covered with snow and forests, and it is covered in silver.
Xiao Chu and Xia Tingcicada walked into the garden, as if they had walked into a fantasy snowy field.
It is the New Year's Day, visiting such a beautiful scenery and having a beautiful woman as a companion, Xiao Chu is in a leisurely and leisurely mood.
Walking in the Summer Palace after the snow, Xia Tingcicada is also very quiet in his heart.
Look at the snow and the lake, and once in a while look at him, everything is beautiful.
Although the garden is deserted than before, there are far more visitors than them.
There were other young couples, adults playing with children, and even an old man and an old lady leaning on a railing that was still heavily covered with snow, taking selfies against the lake.
The old man was a little twisted, but the old lady was smiling like a flower, and her white hair and white snow contrasted with each other.
Xia Tingcicada looked at the old lady who was shooting and was unattended, and stopped.
Xiao Chu guessed what she was thinking, leaned into her ear and whispered: "In another sixty years, let's also come here to take pictures, and you will definitely be more elegant and beautiful than this old lady at that time." ”
Xia listened to the cicada's clear eyes, noncommittal, and then walked towards the depths of the garden.
Xiao Chu followed up and asked, "Got it, you like this Summer Palace very much?"
This is where the postcard I sent last time came.
Today's first stop, I chose this place again.
Xia listened to the cicada's ethereal voice: "When I used to be in a bad mood, I often came here, sat for a morning, or an afternoon, and then went home or back to school. ”
Xiao Chu said: "I understand when you go home, go back to school?
Xia Tingcicada's chin nodded slightly: "Yes, the school gate is not open during class, and I still climb over the wall to get out." ”
"Over the wall?"
"Is there anything you can't do?" Xia Tingcicada looked at him with a little arrogance.
Xiao Chu was stunned.
He had a picture in his mind of a clear, sunny afternoon, when all the students were in the classroom, but there was a girl who, avoiding teachers and security, had snuck under the walls of the campus.
I saw her climb up the wall with ease, and then leap down, and no one knew it, and she went out into the street without looking back.
In Xiao Chu's imagination, this kind of thing can generally only be done by a free and easy senior sister who is a scumbag and has a wild temperament.
I didn't expect the goddess of cicadas to do such a thing.
Xiao Chu couldn't help but look at Xia Tingciao's slender legs, well, these long legs are quite suitable for climbing walls.
Xia heard that Cicada noticed his gaze and knew what he thought, so he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and raised his foot to kick him.
Xiao Chu dodged.
Then he approached and took her hand.
This kind of knowledge adds a bit of cuteness.
It's a pity that he met too late and didn't meet the girl when she was a girl, otherwise he might have been standing outside the wall at that time, seeing the boy who knew how to climb over the wall and whistle at her.
"Got it, when you climbed over the wall, were you caught by the teacher? Did any boy whistle at you outside the wall?"
Xia Tingcicada looked at him strangely, "No." ”
When she sneaked out, she was caught by the teacher, but of course she wouldn't admit this kind of thing, otherwise she might be ridiculed by him.
As for the boys whistling at her outside the walls?
What inexplicable thoughts?
Of course not.
At that time, she wanted to go out to breathe because she was studying music or literature in the future, and she quarreled with her mother all day long, and when she was upset.
Sometimes it's just a casual stroll on the street, and more often, it's just to come to the Summer Palace to blow the wind and feed the fish.
The whistling prodigal boy had never met, but there was someone in the class, and every time she skipped class and went back, she would persuade her not to do it again in the future, but she ignored it directly.
I'm not familiar with you, why do you care so much?
Xiao Chuchang thought about the various images of his girlhood, but Xia Tingcicada looked at him, "What about you? What were you like before?"
I?
Xiao Chu smiled and said: "When I was a child, I was also very naughty, I went down to the river to fish, went up to the trees to dig birds, led the friends in the village, fought with the children in the next village, etc., and was chased and beaten by my mother with a broom. ”
"But I'm a little older, and after I become sensible, I am more well-behaved, and I have become a good boy praised by everyone. ”
Xia listened to the cicada and gave him a blank look, let you tell me about yourself, why are you still boasting about yourself?
But he also knew that he was so virtuous, and he didn't pursue it, but ignored it directly.
continued to ask lightly: "I used to want to sing, what do you want to do besides wanting to swim all over the rivers and mountains of the motherland?"
Traveling all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, Xiao Chu told her on WeChat, so she sent that postcard.
Xiao Chu said with a few memories: "I used to stay at the foot of the mountain, there was a mountain in front of me, a mountain behind me, and there were mountains all around, so I wanted to know what was on the other side of the mountain." ”
"So when you go up the mountain to herd cattle, chop firewood, dig bamboo shoots, and pick bayberry, you will climb to a very high tree and look into the distance, only to find that it is still a mountain. ”
"So at that time, I had an idea that I must go out of the mountains and see what the outside world is like. ”
"I asked my dad how to get out of the mountains, my dad didn't answer, he went directly to school, and then I began to study hard, and I was admitted to the high school in the county for the high school entrance examination, and the university chose the most prosperous magic capital, and then ......"
And then you met the forest fish?
Xia listened to the cicada subconsciously answered in his heart, but in the end he didn't say it.
Xiao Chu didn't notice his abnormality, and said to himself: "Later, I found out that the outside world is very good, but it is not so good. ”
"And then I met you. ”
"The world is getting better. ”
Xiao Chu looked at Xia Tingcicada with warm eyes.
Xia listened to the cicada's eyelashes blink, then turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards a bluestone path with faint snow.
Xiao Chu was dumbfounded.
What is the reaction of the cicada goddess?
Happy, or unhappy?
It doesn't seem to have succeeded?
I don't understand.
Xiao Chu was about to try again, and shouted, "Got it, the postcard you sent me from here last time, did I fill in the two empty words correctly?
Xia Tingcicada still didn't answer.
But when the breeze blew and blew her hair, revealing an earlobe, Xiao Chu saw that the earlobe turned red.
Now he understood.
It's still working.
There's me in the water.
I'm shy.
Afraid that she would fall, Xiao Chu hurriedly followed.
......
When it was almost noon, Xiao Chu and Xia Tingcicada finally simply finished a walk around and went to the door to round with Xiao Ai.
When they were approaching the gate, a couple came through another passage.
The man inadvertently caught a glimpse of being held by Xiao Chu and listened to the cicada, and was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
"Hee-yang, what's wrong with you?" asked his female companion.
This couple, it was Xia Tingcian who had seen college and high school classmates Bai Xiyang and Song Xueru outside the old head teacher's ward.
These two people happened to come to visit the Summer Palace.
Hearing Song Xueru's words, Bai Xiyang said with a confused face: "I seem to have seen ......"
"What do you see?"
Bai Xiyang shook his head.
He felt that the back of the woman he saw just now was Xia Tingcicada, but he didn't want to believe it.
The woman was held by a man...... Xia Tingcicada has a boyfriend?
Bai Xiyang frowned, and then walked quickly to the gate.
Song Xueru was originally holding his arm, but he suddenly walked quickly, was taken away, and his hand was released.
"Xiyang, what are you doing?"
Bai Xiyang didn't speak.
Song Xueru had no choice but to lift the hem of her down jacket and trot to keep up.
However, when Bai Xiyang walked to the gate, there was no trace of Fang, Xiao Chu and Xia Tingcicada had already gotten into the car and left.
Bai Xiyang stood at the door, stunned.
Song Xueru finally ran over, her face was flushed, and she said breathlessly, "Xiyang, what's wrong with you?
Bai Xiyang frowned, and did not hear Song Xueru's question.
......
In the Mercedes-Benz E300L, Xiao Ai said while driving seriously: "Sister Cicada, Mr. Xiao, I have already eaten in Dora's private room and booked a place, shall we go over?"
This car was purchased by Xia Tingcia and kept at home, and after returning on the 30th, Xiao Ai drove it and replaced it with snow tires in advance.
Xiao Ai drove very steadily, and he was also very clever, so he ordered lunch in advance without being instructed.
Xia Tingcicada looked at Xiao Chu and asked for his opinion.
Xiao Chu patted the slender hand held in his palm and said, "I'm not familiar with the emperor, listen to your arrangement." ”
Xia listened to the cicada and said, "Then let's go to Dora's private restaurant." ”
Dora's private cuisine is also a more elegant and private restaurant, which they have eaten in the past.
After arriving at the private room, Xia Tingcian asked Xiao Chu to order, Xiao Chu only ordered a plate of fried beef for himself, and handed over the rest to Xia Tingcian and Xiao Ai.
He went to the toilet.
Xia listened to the cicada and ordered a few, and as soon as he handed the menu to Xiao Ai, he heard a dingdong on WeChat, prompting that he had received a new message.
She clicked on it and found that the information came from the temporary conversation of the class group, and the name showed that it was Bai Xiyang.
Bai Xiyang: Did you go to the Summer Palace just now?
At this point, Xia Tingcicada raised her eyebrows slightly, and then directly blocked the other party and blocked it.
After a while, Xiao Chen came back and asked, "Are you all done?"
Xia Tingcian put down his phone and nodded, "It's okay, you can take a look." ”
Xiao Ai handed over the menu, and Xiao Chu took a look and found that most of it was what he liked to eat.
He looked at Xia Tingcicada, and Xia Tingcicada looked elsewhere.
Xiao Chu had no choice but to look at Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai nodded at Xia Xia and listened to the cicada, indicating that it was all ordered by Sister Cicada.
Xiao Chu was very moved, and then added a boiled green vegetable to Xia Tingcicada.
Xia listened to the cicada glaring at him.
Xiao is not afraid.
Xia Tingcicada bit her lip, her eyes were even more angry, but it was useless to Xiao Chu, and she was still unmoved.
Xiao Ai snickered when she saw this scene, and she had been with Sister Cicada for three years, and only Teacher Xiao could make her deflated and obedient.
Boom!
Xiao Ai was laughing, and suddenly suffered a brain collapse.
The cicada goddess couldn't do anything about a shameless person, and after she became angry, she found her.
Xiao Ai knew that she had been harmed by the pond fish, covered her forehead and didn't dare to speak, and looked at her with a pair of big eyes aggrieved.
Xiao Chu looked at it and wanted to laugh.
Boom!
Under the table, Xia Tingcicada kicked him.
Xiao Chen suddenly couldn't laugh.
Knowing that Teacher Xiao was also suppressed by Sister Cicada, Xiao Ai suddenly stopped being aggrieved and grinned.
can see Sister Cicada so "irritable", well, this wave of price is not a loss.
After all, there is a price to pay for eating dog food all the time.
......
After lunch, it was almost two o'clock.
After walking out of Dora's private dishes, Xiao Chu asked Xia Tingcicada, "Where are we going next?"
Xia listened to the cicada and replied, "Take you to meet someone." ”
Xiao Chu thought that this "meeting someone" was going to meet a friend or elder, but in the end he came to the Western Suburbs Cemetery.
Xiao Ai was still waiting in the car, and Xia Tingcicada and Xiao Chu climbed the mountain alone.
When Xia Tingcicada stopped in front of a tombstone, Xiao Chu knew that he had really come to see the elder this time, an old man who looked very kind and kind.
"Got it, who is this Teacher Zhong?" After reading the life and epitaph on the tombstone, Xiao Chu asked.
Xia Tingcian said calmly: "Mr. Zhong was my homeroom teacher in high school, and he was also an important leader in my life. ”
Xiao Chu bowed to the tombstone.
Xia Tingcian continued: "Before Mr. Zhong died, I went to visit him, and he was very concerned about my life events, so I brought you and let him see you. ”
He said to the old man on the tombstone photo: "Teacher Zhong, this is my boyfriend, his name is Xiao Chu, Jiang Youren, he is a screenwriter, I brought him to see you, you can help me check it." ”
Xiao Chu bowed to the tombstone again, and said sincerely: "Elder Zhong, don't worry, I will know well for the rest of my life." ”
Xia listened to the cicada and looked at Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu said it was very simple, there were no grandiose words, and she didn't swear, but she could hear that these words came from the heart.
The two bowed to the tombstone together.
On the way down the mountain, Xia listened to the cicada talk about some things in the past.
Xiao Chu admired this old man who had dedicated his life to education.
After meeting up with Xiao Ai, the three returned to the city.
Xia Tingcia said: "Tomorrow night, I will meet with Du Xuancheng to discuss the purchase of songs, do you want to participate in person?"
Xiao Chu thought for a while and said, "Let's participate, so that I have a reason to appear in the imperial capital, and I don't have to hide from Liu Jie anymore." ”
"Okay, then I'll ask Xiao Ai to pick you up tomorrow, and I'll say I'll pick you up at the airport. ”
Xiao Chu agreed, "No problem, but I'll only come tomorrow, so ...... tonight."
At night, Xia Tingcia accompanied him through the streets and alleys, all of which were places where the girl Xia Tingcicada had walked, including the place where she climbed the wall more than once.
But the wall had been repaired, it had been raised, and it had been fitted with spiky iron spikes, so that no more students could climb out of it and skip class to wander around.
The wall can no longer be climbed, and the girl who climbed the wall back then has become today's cicada goddess.
The old head teacher, who stood outside the wall in advance, waiting for the girl to throw herself into the net, has also slept and rested.
As the years go by, everything changes.
The only thing that remains the same is the heart of the girl who still loves music.
Of course, there is one more thing that should not change, and that is the hand she holds with him.
On the second morning, Xiao Ai went to the "airport" and picked up Xiao Chu.
Liu Jie offered to invite Xiao Chu to dinner.
At eight o'clock in the evening, at the Lime Cafe, Xiao Chu and Xia Tingcia and Liu Jie met Du Xuancheng and a big brother in the music world.
Seeing this big brother in the music world, Xia Tingcia and Liu Jie, frowned slightly at the same time.
