Xie Changxiao was more direct, unzipping the tent curtain, sticking his head out and roaring: "Get out of here, you two!"
The humming suddenly stopped.
The wild mandarin ducks were afraid of being recognized, so they didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal. They hugged each other very cautiously and ran away quickly.
When the surrounding area was clear, Wen Qizhou looked out through the gap in the door curtain: "I don't know how long it will take for this fog to dissipate."
The island that made them peaceful and comfortable at first, with the arrival of more and more humans, it is difficult to return to the past.
He didn't like being disturbed again and again, and now he was even more looking forward to the thick fog clearing, so that they could leave as soon as possible.
Chi Yue closed her eyes: "It should be soon."
The thick fog did not last long. In the morning two weeks later, a ray of sunshine poured down, dispersing the fog that shrouded the surroundings, and also made the invisible barrier disappear quietly.
The clear sky is clear, and the blue sky with hanging golden crows comes into view again. It seems to be dotted with golden water waves, washing away the blurred traces left by the thick fog, allowing people to see things more clearly.
They looked up at the sky, swept away the haze that had been frequently disturbed recently, packed up their things, and when no one was looking, they took the assault boat and headed north.
Approaching land in the afternoon, they switched to cross-country driving and traveled through a city, driving at lightning speed along the car-free highway, completely widening the distance from the Lianjiang Sea.
"Changxiao, you drive to the right." Seeing that night was coming, Wen Qizhou asked him to drive to the self-built house on the right.
"Are we staying here?"
"No." They habitually looked around to make sure there was no one, and Chi Yue took out the RV covered with quilts.
"Hey, this car is not bad!" Xie Changxiao stepped on the pedal with bright eyes. Seeing that it was very clean inside, he didn't want to get dirty, so he took off his shoes and socks at the door before going in for a stroll.
He walked to the bathroom: "Is there water in the car?"
"have."
"Then I'll take a shower first." Since arriving in Lianjiang, he hasn't had a chance to take a shower. He usually just wipes it with a towel.
When I saw the bathroom, I felt like a fish that had been forced to land found the water and became visibly excited.
Wen Qizhou sat down and said, "Yeah."
He often went into the space to wash with Chi Yue. He was not as eager as Xie Changxiao. He leaned on the sofa leisurely and looked at the map.
"Where's the next city?"
"Ning Tong."
"Ning Tong..." Chi Yue paused, and a face suddenly appeared in his mind: "Then let's go to the base and stay for a few days?"
It was the first time that she offered to stay at the base without having to hide from a natural disaster. He would inevitably think of seeking revenge.
He asked bluntly: "Do you have enemies in Ning Tong?"
"It's a benefactor." She took out the fruit plate and snacks, raised her legs slightly and put them next to the sofa: "A benefactor who must repay his kindness."
After hearing Qizhou, it became clear.
Since it was a "must", it was likely to involve her life. He didn't want to bring up memories that might make her uncomfortable, so he didn't ask any more questions and bent down to pick up the backpack at his feet.
He independently found a map of Ningtong City and outlined the area where the base was located based on the official location.
The red to black ink left winding traces. They also drove along the long line through the city and countryside the next morning, and finally reached their destination.
*
Ningtong is a famous ancient city. The city gate is built with stone walls and there are very few modern buildings. Most of them are simple and elegant blue brick buildings, which has a unique charm.
The disasters of the past year have left mottled traces on the ancient city, but against the backdrop of the small blue brick buildings, there is an inexplicable harmony.
They drove into the Ningtong base, followed the same process as before, paid half a month's rent, rented a two-bedroom apartment, and moved in with their luggage.
"Let's go out for a walk tomorrow." Thinking that it was getting late, Chi Yue put furniture in the two bedrooms, then took Wen Qizhou's arm and walked into the room they chose.
She washed herself, put on a light green silk suspender skirt, and walked to the bed carrying the moisture.
Snow-white skin flashed before his eyes. Wen Qizhou raised his left arm slightly, wrapped it around her slender willow-like waist, and rubbed it through the fabric for a while, his eyes lingering on her pink cheeks.
"Wife." He kissed her face lightly.
Like a kitten looking for warmth, Chi Yue slowly moved into his arms, leaning against his broad chest without a shirt on.
She raised her eyes: "What?"
Those apricot eyes, which were like holding a clear spring, filled that clear face, as if there was only room for him.
Wen Qizhou, whose heart was swollen, hugged her and sat on his knees, clasping each other tightly, shortening the distance between them.
He raised his chin and gently touched the red lips, his eyes getting deeper and deeper: "I want to eat peaches."
"You just brushed your teeth."
"It doesn't affect it."
Chi Yue had no choice but to rely on him.
She took out the peach from the space and was about to feed it to his lips when her eyes suddenly widened and a cry escaped from her throat.
A shuddering sensation of strange heat came over me.
Unable to escape the control, she lowered her body, as if falling into the clouds, and the blush on her cheeks also spread to her slender neck.
"Qizhou..."
"Be good." Wen Qizhou hugged her and lay down, his thin and strong arms highlighting the veins.
Seeing that she was still holding the peach, he lowered his head and took a bite of the fruit, put it in her mouth, and moved his thin lips to her earlobe.
He asked in a dumb voice: "Is it delicious?"
Chi Yue couldn't answer.
He played tricks and insisted on getting answers. He kept asking over and over again: "Why don't you say anything? Isn't it sweet enough?"
"……sweet."
Chi Yue, who was forced to eat two or three pieces of peach, narrowed her rippling almond eyes slightly and her voice was so trembling that she could not hear clearly.
The incomplete peach rolled off the edge of the bed and lay quietly on the carpet because of her strength.
It was early in the morning when he was picked up again.
The rising temperature in the room made her mouth dry. Chi Yue was carried to the sofa, holding a glass and taking a sip of water.
She leaned against the pillow weakly, staring at the energetic Wen Qizhou who had finished changing the sheets, and kicked him in displeasure.
Nun Sheng asked him: "Is it soundproof here?"
"Yeah." Wen Qizhou tried the soundproofing effect after moving in, otherwise it wouldn't be like this: "Don't worry, others can't hear."
"If I can't hear you, you should restrain yourself."
"Am I not restrained enough?"
"not enough."
"Then let's do it again?" He hugged Chi Yue and got into the soft quilt with a smile on his face: "I will definitely restrain myself this time."
"……I am sleepy."
"Little liar."
"Really!" She closed her eyes and looked like she was about to fall asleep, looking extremely well-behaved.
Wen Qizhou stared at her slightly trembling eyelashes, and a burst of joyful laughter escaped from his lips, but he was not willing to tease her anymore.
"Go to sleep." He pressed against the top of her hair, placed his palms on her back, and patted her softly a few times, as if coaxing her.
"You haven't said goodnight yet."
"Goodnight, wife."
"Yeah." Chi Yue raised her lips slightly.
She lowered her head and buried it in the crook of his neck, smelling the reassuring fragrance of cypress, and fell into a sweet sleep in her heart.
