"how about you?"
Xihe looked up at Gu Hui.
Gu Hui didn't care much: "I'll wait for you outside." Seeing that she wanted to say something else, he quickly pushed her in.
Bang, close the door: "Go in and sleep."
Outside the window of the room was a residential building. The dark red curtains were closed. Xihe lay on the bed and fell asleep for a while. He didn't wake up until noon. He happened to go back to Shijiacun and returned to the hotel. When he saw her coming downstairs, he took her with him. People go to the street to eat.
Linxian is a mountain city with simple folk customs, and most of the people wear national costumes.
The girl has sharp eyes and her outstanding appearance and temperament are incompatible with this place.
It attracts passers-by to cast their astonishing glances from time to time.
Xihe held Gu Hui's arm, chewing something in his mouth, and looked at everything around him with big eyes in surprise. Occasionally I catch those eyes and smile brightly.
Her smile was bright and candid, making those who peeked feel embarrassed to look away.
Gu Hui felt unhappy and took Xihe for a while. After a while, he used the hot weather as an excuse to find a quiet place to sit down.
The sun in the sky is warm, not hot.
The gentle breeze makes the leaves rustle, bringing bursts of coolness.
Xihe glanced out the window and hesitated: "Are you sure the food here is delicious?" Don't think she doesn't know that special delicacies like this are usually hidden in streets and alleys, not in elegantly decorated restaurants.
Gu Hui's face didn't change: "Of course it's delicious."
The chef in the restaurant was very fast, and the food came out within a short time of the two of them sitting down.
When the lid is opened, a strong aroma comes out.
Xihe's eyes lit up instantly.
Picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. The spicy aroma of the food explodes in your mouth, stimulating your taste buds. I couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Okay." He ate without raising his head.
Gu Hui watched her eating with a smile in his eyes.
The sun disappeared behind the clouds at some point. After dinner, Gu Hui took Xihe for a walk along Linxian County, seeing the narrow streets and houses with ethnic characteristics, and finally took her to her elementary school.
In the quiet afternoon, several teenagers were playing basketball on the basketball court, sweating profusely.
The walls of the three-story teaching building are mottled, the doors and windows are locked, and even the canteen is closed. Only bright red flags flutter in the wind and birds fly across the sky.
Xihe sighed: "So you used to study here."
The doors and windows were closed and covered with dust.
The shouts of students came from far away. Gu Hui has no nostalgia for this school. He casually pointed out the class that Xihe was in before pulling her away.
On the sidewalk, several teenagers were walking towards me.
After staring at him in surprise for a while, he suddenly shouted excitedly: "Brother Gu!"
He rushed forward and hugged Gu Hui's shoulders, feeling beyond words with excitement.
"Brother Gu, when did you come back? Why haven't you contacted your brothers? I haven't seen you for a long time." He turned around and saw a girl smiling and holding hands with their brother Gu. His face turned red. Huchihuchi was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
Seeing his former brother, Gu Hui smiled on his face.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Several teenagers were around seventeen or eighteen years old, with dyed yellow hair and wearing ripped clothes.
Only one of the boys was wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag. He had a clean face and looked particularly well-behaved compared to the other three.
Xihe couldn't help but take a second look.
Gu Hui introduced: "This is Xiang Yuan." The boy's face turned red and he called his sister-in-law.
Several teenagers: flatterers.
Since his girlfriend is leaving tomorrow, the two of them spend very little time together. Gu Hui simply said hello to a few teenagers and left. Make an appointment to meet again in a few days.
As the sun goes down, the town lights up with thousands of lights.
Xihe walked for a day and was so tired that the soles of his feet were sore. He sat on a chair by the roadside and refused to leave.
Gu Hui: "..."
Resigned to his fate, he squatted down and said, "Come up."
Xihe was instantly surprised: "Is it okay?"
Until now, the most intimate contact they had had was just a kiss on the forehead. On weekdays, they mostly held hands, or Xihe held Gu Hui's arm shamelessly.
Carrying her? Xihe couldn't help but cover his face in shame.
The tips of Gu Hui's ears turned red: "Do you want to come up or not?"
"Up, up, up."
He jumped forward and hung on the young man.
Gu Hui put his hands through the crooks of the girl's legs and slowly stood up with the person behind his back.
Xihe's vision broadened instantly.
The boy was carrying Xihe as if there was nothing, walking steadily along the street, with the girl's chirping voice in his ears.
"That delicious one, should we buy some and eat it back?"
"That glutinous rice cake looks delicious."
Back at the hotel, Gu Hui stood in the corridor: "You go in." It looked like he didn't intend to go in.
Xihe always knew that this guy looked cold on the surface, but in fact he was an out-and-out old-fashioned. Expect him to stay tonight. It's better to let people go back early, and the road will be safer.
Xihe said: "Be careful on your way back and call me when you get home."
Gu Hui nodded: "Yes."
He opened the door and went in, took off his clothes and took a shower.
There was a hint of chill in Linxian at night. After wiping his hair, Xihe took out his computer and wrote down the specialty shops he saw today. The computer was brightly lit, and he worked on tables and prices for more than half an hour before he stretched out and got up.
Snap, a mosquito.
Xihe's shoulders slumped. Hey, it looks like he has to go out and buy some mosquito coils.
He put on a coat and opened the door. Boom, the young man in front of the door suddenly fell to the ground and stood up in a hurry.
Xihe:? ? ?
A question mark slowly popped up in his mind: "Gu Hui?"
Looking him up and down, he was still wearing the same clothes as in the morning, looking like he had just woken up.
"you……"
Look at him, then look at the door. Is there anything else you don’t understand?
"Are you going to keep me here all night?"
Gu Hui neither admitted nor denied. He scratched his hair and changed the subject: "Why are you opening the door so late? Don't you know it's dangerous?" He was extremely glad that he was here tonight.
Linxian is a small place. Although the folk customs are simple, there are still many people like Uncle Li Er.
Leaving Jiao Didi’s girlfriend to live alone in the county? Gu Hui never thought about this idea at all, he must stay here to guard it.
Xihe reacted and immediately felt aggrieved: "There are mosquitoes."
He stretched out his white and tender arms under the young man's eyes, and sure enough, there was a small red pimple on his arm.
Gu Hui put on his coat: "I'm going to buy mosquito coils."
The young man was very fast and came back after buying mosquito coils. He was sweating profusely, and Xihe felt heartbroken for a moment.
Without saying a word, Xihe pulled the person into the room and closed the door.
Gu Hui's eyes widened and he immediately wanted to open the door. How could he get in here? What if you can’t control your animal heart?
Xihe took off the mosquito coils and said, "If you dare to go out, I will sleep outside tonight too."
Gu Hui: "...Jiang Mo, don't make trouble,"
Xihe raised his head and said, "I'm not making trouble. Go to the bathroom and take a shower." Thinking of his old-fashioned temperament, he continued, "Don't worry, I will never peek at you."
