pamper her

Back at the eating place, Qi Pei explained the situation to the boss, who nodded and let them search in the store.

"What does it look like?" Qi Pei asked her.

"Silver butterfly."

Qi Pei understood, turned around and looked carefully around the table where they had dinner just now, but he searched every corner, but still couldn't find the little necklace.

"Where did you go just now?"

"Anan took me to a clothing store around the corner."

"Let's go and have a look."

Yu Anran stood on the spot without moving, she watched Qi Pei's back walking out, and said after deliberating: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, just lose it if you lose it."

Qi Pei turned his head and remained silent.

He didn't know what Yu Anran was struggling with. Although she looked indifferent and her expression was indifferent, Qi Pei could still see that the thing should be quite meaningful to her.

He raised his chin: "I really don't want to look for it?"

"..." She opened her mouth, but didn't speak.

Qi Pei sighed softly in his heart: "Follow me."

At the door of the clothing store, Qi Pei was about to walk in when Yu Anran suddenly grabbed him, "I'll go find it, just wait for me outside."

"Huh?" Qi Pei was puzzled, "Why?"

"Anan said that the boss doesn't like outsiders. I've been here just now, so it's easier to talk."

Unexpectedly, it was because of this reason, Qi Pei laughed out loud, but he didn't answer Yu Anran's concerns, and pulled her inside.

The proprietress was watching TV, when she saw someone coming, she immediately got up, but the first thing she saw was Qi Pei, and her eyes were unconsciously wary.

Qi Pei put on a friendly expression, and he politely said hello to the proprietress, but Yu Anran turned to look at him, with a trace of puzzlement and surprise in his eyes.

Qi Pei spoke Nanlan dialect.

Sure enough, when the proprietress heard the friendly hometown dialect, even though Qi Pei had a standard Han face, her expression relaxed a lot.

The two of them didn't know what they said, the proprietress looked at Yu Anran with a clear look, and Yu Anran nodded to her when she saw this.

"Look for it." Qi Pei said to her.

Yu Anran let out a "hmm", and tucked the broken hair that interfered with her sight behind her ears.

However, there were a lot of clothes in the store, and she was too embarrassed to rummage through them, so she only glanced at the floor and the cash register.

But to no avail.

It seemed to be something in the dark, after thinking it over, Yu Anran no longer felt the strong sense of loss at the beginning.

After all, this necklace should have been thrown away in the first place.

She stood up, wiped off the dust on her hands, and said to Qi Pei, "Let's go."

"did not find?"

"Well, I can't find it."

After Yu Anran said "sorry" to the proprietress, she walked out of the clothing store side by side with Qi Pei.

But for some reason, she turned around suddenly, and the national costume she tried not long ago was still hanging in the most conspicuous place in the store, and the accessories that matched it were shining under the sunlight.

After a pause, she didn't stop.

On the way back, Yu Anran sat in the co-pilot.

The sky in Nanlan has always been blue and pure, with a few clouds dotted on the sky blue curtain, as beautiful as a bright oil painting by a master, with a sense of unreality.

Looking out the window for a while, Yu Anran suddenly thought of Qi Pei's ability to speak Nanlan dialect, and couldn't help asking him, "Why do you speak Nanlan dialect?"

Qi Pei tuned the music on the car, "Anan pestered me to teach me a few words in the past two years."

"Anan is a warm-hearted girl."

Qi Pei glanced at her, "You just said that the proprietress hates outsiders, so the first time you went there—"

He smiled and elongated his tone, his tone was light and procrastinated, "How did you fool me?"

After all, this girl is not like him, who can speak Nanlan dialect.

Mentioning this incident, Yu Anran's back stiffened. Originally, it was just a set of unfounded rhetoric to deal with the proprietress, but for some reason, thinking about it again, she actually felt a sense of guilt.

She turned her head and her tone slowed down: "Just fooled around."

"How casual?" Qi Pei asked.

"..."

Can you not worry about this problem?

Yu Anran couldn't help but glanced at him. The person in front of him had a natural expression, and he didn't show any curiosity about this question at all. Instead, his eyes were cunning, as if he had dug a hole and waited for her to jump.

Before she could speak, Qi Pei spoke again: "Are you in a better mood?"

"What?" Yu Anran didn't react for a while, and when she saw the ridicule in his eyes, she realized that the man just changed the subject to make her happy.

"Yeah." Yu Anran looked forward, relieved, "Nan Lan is quite beautiful, and it's easy for people to forget unhappy things."

In the evening, after taking a bath and taking medicine, Yu Anran was lying on the bed and swiping her phone boredly.

Turning to the photo Anan took for her in the afternoon, after thinking about it, she directly sent the original photo to Song Shi.

A few minutes later, Song Shi directly made a video call.

"No, Yu Anran, since when are you willing to take pictures? You're still dressed so nicely!"

Expecting her first sentence to be this, Yu Anran responded: "The little girl from the inn took a few photos."

"Okay, you, you've only been there for a few days, and you've gotten acquainted with the little girl in the inn?" Song Shi was obviously a little surprised.

Yu Anran didn't know how to explain that Anan was too familiar and enthusiastic. Thinking of this, she couldn't help thinking that if it was Song Shi, they might become good friends.

"By the way, have you taken your medicine on time?"

"Eating."

"Does it work?"

"I don't know, it's only been a few days."

"That's right," Song Shi on the screen held her chin, "Is it cold over there? Remember to wear more clothes."

Yu Anran: "I know."

"Why do you make me look like your parents, tell me this and that—"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Song Shi obviously knew that she had said something wrong, so she stopped in time.

"I'm sorry, An Ran..."

Yu Anran's expression remained unchanged, but her tone was flat, "It's okay."

"..."

Seeing that Yu Anran's expression was normal, Song Shi sighed lightly, and changed the subject, "Please send me an address, and I will find you when I am free."

"Nanlan is so far away, how can you have time to come?" Although Yu Anran said so, she still sent her a location.

"Maybe there is."

"But I guess I'll be leaving in a few days."

"Go?" Song Shi was puzzled, "Where are you going?"

"You can't come here and do nothing, can you?" Yu Anran turned over, "I just read the strategy on the Internet, and they all said that the Nanlan Ring Road is a relatively famous tourist route. Ten days and half a month."

"Then you go alone?"

"En." Yu Anran said softly.

Song Shi frowned, "Isn't it too dangerous? And how do you get there without a car?"

"There seems to be a car rental shop in the nearby town. I'll find time to rent one." Yu Anran thought of the car rental shop that he and Anan passed by when they were shopping in the afternoon.

Song Shi is still worried.

Seeing her wrinkled face, Yu Anran comforted her, "It's just an idea, I haven't decided yet, I'll talk to you when I'm sure."

"Okay, then take care of yourself when you go out, and tell me if you have anything to say," Song Shi deliberately added, afraid that she wouldn't listen, "you must tell me!"

"understood."

After hanging up the video call, Yu Anran realized that there was a red dot on the contact page at some point.

She clicked in.

[Pei requests to add you as a friend. 】

Bae?
Yu Anran took a look at this person's homepage. The background of the avatar was pure black, with a hand-painted tulip on it, and the region displayed BJ.

It's not difficult for Yu Anran to imagine that this person is Qi Pei.

She clicked yes.

An ran: [Boss Qi? 】

The person on the opposite side seemed to be looking at his phone, so he replied in seconds.

Pei: [It's so easy to guess. 】

An ran: [Didn't you not add guest WeChat? 】

Pei: [I said this? 】

Pei: [You remember wrong, right? 】

Seeing that he didn't accept his account, Yu Anran only wanted to give him six points, but she held back and asked him: 【What do you want me to do? 】

Pei: 【Are you going to rest now? 】

Yu Anran glanced at the time, it was only nine o'clock, still early.

An ran: [Not yet. 】

Pei: [Then come to the third floor and discuss with you. 】

What can he discuss with her?Yu Anran didn't understand.

Thinking about it carefully, from the first time I met Qi Pei to now, in just two days, this person, big and small, has helped her four times. Although Yu Anran has a weak relationship, he is not a cold-blooded devil. For these, she is grateful.

But also limited to gratitude.

She didn't think that with these alone, the two could sit together and discuss things like friends.

An ran: [Whatever, you just send it directly. 】

About half a minute later, a voice was sent directly from the other side, "Nanlan Ring Road, do you want to take a walk?"

"..."

Yu Anran couldn't help wondering if this person had eavesdropped on her conversation with Song Shi just now, or it was too coincidental, Qi Pei brought it up when she was worried about it.

But Yu Anran still wondered why he suddenly asked.

An ran: [What do you mean? 】

Pei: [Come up, I can't explain a sentence or two. 】

Yu Anran stared at the dialog box, she struggled for a while, and put on her jacket in a compromise.

Yu Anran's room is on the second floor, close to the stairs, and there are lights on in the corridor at night. She patrolled the lights and walked up. When she reached the corner of the third floor, she realized that this floor was different from the floors of ordinary residents downstairs.

There was only one room on the third floor, and it looked bigger from the outside. Yu Anran tentatively walked forward, only to find that there was an open-air terrace at the end.

The roof is not small, surrounded by all kinds of carefully cultivated flowers, and there is a wooden swing on the right, shaking slightly under the caress of the evening wind.

Yu Anran raised her eyes, and Qi Pei was standing not far away, with her back turned to her, with bits and pieces of light shining between her fingers.

I don't know why this person loves to smoke so much, every time we meet, he never leaves his cigarette.

Yu Anran walked over and stood side by side with him.

Seeing her coming, Qi Pei stubbed out the cigarette butts in the flower pot beside her. Yu Anran took a look and saw that there were several cigarette butts on the surface of the soil in the flower pot.

"It came pretty fast."

Yu Anran didn't talk nonsense with him, "What do you mean by the Nanlan Ring Road you just mentioned?"

Qi Pei slightly lowered his head to look at her, while Yu Anran looked forward, with a look of "you say I'm all ears".

"In a short time, it will snow in Nanlan. The last stop on the Nanlan Ring Road is Muya Snow Mountain. Muya Snow Mountain is the most beautiful when it is snowing. This is just right."

"so what?"

"So?" Qi Pei thought she didn't understand what he meant, and added, "So I'm asking if you want to go with me."

"Why did you take me there?" Yu Anran looked at him, as if she was wary of this sudden invitation.

Qi Pei played with the lighter in his hand, and said casually, "Girl, you don't really plan to stay at my homestay, do you? When you come to Nanlan, who doesn't want to take a trip to Nanlan Ring Road? Why, with me as your tour guide, why don't you?" Not happy?"

His tone was frivolous, with a hint of seduction, "You don't suffer."

"..."

Indeed, Qi Pei's proposal touched her heart very much.

On the one hand, she really wants to go, the Nanlan Ring Road is beautiful all the way, she came all the way here, she doesn't want to stay in the hotel all day.On the other hand, with Qi Pei leading the way, it is easier than driving by herself. She doesn't know the road conditions along the way, and it is indeed prone to unpredictable risks to go alone.

Yu Anran thought to herself, but didn't answer him directly, "Have you walked by before?"

"of course."

"Then why go again now?"

"I bought a new set of photography equipment, and I just went to try the effect," he said slowly, "If you come together, you can help me."

Yu Anran automatically ignored his last sentence, "Are you a photographer?"

Qi Pei smiled and shook his head: "It's just a hobby in my free time."

Yu Anran was faintly curious about him. A BJ guy, across half of China, opened a homestay in Nanlan that didn't make much money. He didn't know the main business, had free time, and also played photography, which has always been known as a "money-burning hobby". .

Seeing Yu Anran staring at him without speaking, Qi Pei suddenly put his face in front of her, "Why are you staring at me all of a sudden?"

His movements brought a gust of wind, Yu Anran closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was Qi Pei's face that had been magnified several times, looking at her with a smile.

He has inner double eyelids, black pupils, and the stares between them are so deep that they seem to suck people in.

Seeing her little self reflected in his eyes, Yu Anran calmed down, she turned her head, "It's nothing."

"Let me think about it, when do you plan to leave?"

"In two days."

"Then I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Row."

After finishing speaking, both of them didn't speak again, but they didn't leave either.

It's windy in Nanlan, and it's like this at night. The broken hair on Yu Anran's forehead was blown up, kissing her cheek, as if feeling itchy, she pushed her hair behind her ears, revealing her side face with a clear jaw line.

Qi Pei touched his pocket subconsciously, and only after he recovered did he realize that he had left the cigarette case in the room, so he could only turn his head and look forward, picking at the lighter with his fingertips in every possible way.

I have to say that the location of this inn is very well chosen.The field of vision is vast, the houses not far away are patchwork, brightly lit, and you can have a panoramic view.And looking up, the sky is full of stars surrounded by the full moon, trying to shine.

Yu Anran hasn't been so relaxed for a long time.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath of the pure night air in Nanlan, and then slowly exhaled it.

She thought of the butterfly necklace she had lost during the day. This was not a pleasant memory at first, but it seemed to slowly dissipate into the air with her breathing.

"Miss Yu," Qi Pei couldn't help saying seeing her look as if she had taken off her armor, "You seem to have a lot of secrets."

Yu Anran smiled indifferently, "If there is a chance in the future, let's make it a story and tell Boss Qi."
