Forever, beauty bone

Chapter 21 Just like your first makeup (1)
Shi Yi temporarily changed the evening flight, and Zhou Shengchen sent her to the airport.

He asked the people around him to leave, and the two of them stood at the security checkpoint, talking very little.

"I remember the first time I met you." Shi Yi glanced inside the security gate, "You had a computer and ID, and nothing else, but you were asked to go through the security check again."

"It's the first time," he said, "the first time I've been asked to re-screen."

first time?She remembered the first time he saw her.

It was because she stared at him too openly.

He raised his wrist and looked at the time.

Knowing that she was about to leave, she hooked his hand with her index finger and held it lightly: "I'm leaving."

She hated him, but she still had to leave in a sensible way.

Zhou Shengchen hummed, looked at her, and suddenly said, "Are you thirsty?"

"A little bit." She licked her lower lip, a little dry.

On the way here just now, I was so busy talking to him that I forgot to drink water.

She wanted to say that it's okay, just buy some after the security check.But before he could speak, Zhou Shengchen had already signaled her to wait a moment, turned around and went to buy a bottle of water, unscrewed it and handed it to her.Shi Yi was a little surprised, and after taking two sips, he felt it was a waste: "Actually, I can go in and buy it, so I can't bring it in after taking two sips, it's a waste."

"It's okay, I'll take it to drink on the way."

The last conversation between the two turned out not to waste half a bottle of mineral water.

Shi Yi boarded the plane later, thinking about the incident just now, he still found it funny.

Night flight is quiet.

She soon became sleepy, and gradually recalled the charming affair that had just started and ended.She remembered how he dressed her and asked her why she was so anxious all of a sudden?Such a smart person can easily see her abnormality. She wants to hastily implement the relationship, and is afraid of any anxiety and panic about changes.

She didn't answer him.

If you say "I'm afraid I'll never see you again", it will seem too sensational or hypocritical.

Or it would make him feel unbelievable.

She thought for a while, and heard the two people beside her whispering about the gunfight during the day, the content was similar to Zhou Shengchen's explanation.It’s just that the two European and American populations have another perspective. It’s nothing more than that the building is a Chinese market, and people nearby will often report the “Chinese Mafia” and the “Fujian Gang” and the like.The words are amazing, as if the Chinese are the most unstable existence in this city...

The describer speaks truthfully without verification.

In her whispered English, she thought of Zhou Shengchen and his friend Mei Xing.After hundreds of years of family culture, those two pairs of dark eyes are also calm.It's just that Mei Xing was more like the people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, pursuing to follow his heart, but when he thought of him when Shi Yi thought of him, his heart softened quickly.

She couldn't describe him in one word, the characteristics of an era.

Her vacation ended and she immediately entered a high-pressure working state.

Meilin set the competition finals in the newly built Xizha in Wuzhen, which can be regarded as a cooperation with the newly built scenic spot.Compared with the old Dongzha, this newly built scenic spot looks brand new, but traces of commercialization can also be seen.

Fortunately, the scenic spot has not yet officially opened to the public.

As an employee of the organizer, she has the right to enter in advance. Hong Xiaoyu heard about it, and she also pushed the boat to come and live with her.This kind of water town in the south of the Yangtze River is very beautiful at night, and there are no extra tourists. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by.

On the phone, Hong Xiaoyu vaguely mentioned his new boyfriend.

Shi Yi didn't think too much, and asked Mei Lin to reserve an extra room for them.

The two of them came late and arrived here in the evening.

Shi Yi stood at the entrance of the scenic spot and waited for them.Looking at Hong Xiaoyu from a distance, carrying a camera on his back, walking beside a man, talking and laughing, that man looks upright, with heroic features.

Shi Yi hurriedly glanced over his face, Hong Xiaoyu had already seen her, and ran over quickly: "You said, it's not easy for me to see you once, you obviously live in Shanghai, but your whereabouts have been erratic for the past two months , In the end, they met around Shanghai. Hey, I didn’t say that Shi Yi is a beautiful woman, the degree to which you value sex over friends can definitely be recorded in the annals of history.”

"You can wait for two or three days before I return to Shanghai," she said in a low voice, not bothering to listen to Hong Xiaoyu's teasing, "Don't think I don't know, you just use me as an excuse to have a real development with him, came here."

Hong Xiaoyu glanced at her and made a brief introduction for the two of them.

That person's occupation is similar to Hong Xiaoyu's, except that one is a journalist and the other is a photojournalist.

But Shi Yi always felt that this person couldn't hide his fierceness in his bones.

Her intuition has always been accurate, and she couldn't help but scrutinized this person several times while the three of them walked into the scenic spot and chatted.But after hearing Hong Xiaoyu talk about his identity as a war reporter, he was relieved.

She remembered his name was Du Feng.

Some people came from the company, and they all had beautiful voices.

Hong Xiaoyu doesn't usually have the chance to meet these people, but this time because of Shi Yi, he finally got to meet them. Everyone is very easy-going, and Shi Yi introduced him more casually.Most of them say that this is the narration of the xx documentary, and this is the leading male and female leading role of a certain hit drama...

Hong Xiaoyu kept showing an expression of sudden realization in surprise.

But that Du Feng always smiled from time to time, most of it was Xiao Hong Xiaoyu's fuss.

"Most of these water villages have stories in them." Meilin pinched the shell with her hands and looked at D Wang with a smile. "I remember you told me about Xitang last time? It's just that people often live there, and they will Lost for a few hours? Come back..."

D Wang shook his head and interrupted her: "Shi Yi is timid, don't talk about this at night."

He said it naturally.

But many people here knew about him and Shi Yi, some of them laughed with ulterior motives, and some were already joking.This kind of good-natured banter is common and harmless.

To save him from embarrassment, Shi Yi just laughed, not being too repulsive.

Hong Xiaoyu had never met D Wang before, but he was very curious, and asked her in a low voice, "How did he know you were timid?"

Shi Yi said softly: "I often record in the middle of the night, and every time I have to wait for someone to be with me before I dare to take the elevator downstairs. Anyone who has worked with me for a long time knows that it's normal."

"No, not normal," Hong Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes, "very abnormal."

Shi Yi lightly squeezed the back of her hand: "No gossip is allowed."

"Then the last sentence," Hong Xiaoyu asked her curiously, "Will your husband be jealous if he knows someone likes you?"

Will you be jealous?
Shi Yi, on the other hand, had no confidence in this question.

She thought, Zhou Shengchen liked her, how much did she like her?She has no idea.

That's why you're anxious, right?Like in Bremen.

"You don't even have this bit of self-confidence, do you?" Hong Xiaoyu frowned, "That's why I said, you should love yourself more when you get married. I saw how you like him, how you started, and even got married without any ceremony for no reason. Yes. You are too caring, you are obviously a treasure handed down from generation to generation, but you just sold the pearls at the local stall..."

Shi Yi couldn't help laughing: "What kind of metaphor?"

"It was originally..."

"Hush," Shi Yi picked up the phone and said softly, "I'm going out to answer the phone."

She got up and went out.

This is an old-fashioned small wooden building. The place where they eat is the second floor near the river, with seven or eight tables lined up.They occupied two tables, on the east side, and she walked to the place by the window on the west side.

Zhou Shengchen called on time.

She leaned against the wooden window and spoke to him in a low voice.

Zhou Shengchen has been trained very skillfully by her. Starting from the food for dinner, he reported his itinerary in detail.Thanks to his really good memory, he can even tell the exact time.At the end, Shi Yi was in a great mood when he heard that, thinking of Hong Xiaoyu's question, he pretended to be unintentional and said, "Recently, it seems...someone is chasing me."

Zhou Shengchen was slightly silent: "Is that D Wang?"

"Um... how did you know?"

"I always knew."

Shi Yi thought that he had all the information on him, and felt embarrassed to be seen through.

She didn't speak for a moment.

It was Zhou Shengchen who noticed it: "I want to know, would I mind?"

She was embarrassed to admit it, and she didn't deny it.

Zhou Shengchen laughed: "You can think of it this way, I keep track of your movements because I don't mind."

"Really?"

"Really," he paused, and said softly, "It's absolutely true."

She laughed out loud.In the distance of the water, you can see several moored wooden boats with lights hanging on them.

There are no tourists in the scenic area, only the organizers, the media, and the participants of the finals, so this kind of cruise ship will not be open at night, it will only be docked and become its own scenery.

Zhou Shengchen continued to say a few words, then disconnected.

After everyone had eaten, the event was arranged by the person in charge of the scenic spot.

Go boating or go to the big theater to listen to Pingtan.

Shi Yi didn't like the feeling of being by the river late at night, so he went to Pingtan.Half of the theater was seated, and the hot summer wind was blowing in. She listened nonchalantly, and gently twirled the rosary on her wrist.

Such a hot night, the environment is not comfortable.

But inexplicably, it reminded her of some things that had long been blurred.

In that life, she studied Tang history since she was a child, and was very interested in the "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song" written by Tang Xuanzong, but unfortunately it was lost due to the Anshi Rebellion, and no one has the score.One day, I heard that Li Yu, the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Empress Zhou recovered more than half of their lives.

She really wanted to hear it, and Zhou Shengchen also doted on her and asked someone to bring the score.

It's a pity that she made a mistake that day and missed that "Neon Clothes and Feather Dress", all because of a cup of tea.She liked tea since she was a child, and Zhou Shengchen collected famous teas for her. That day she wanted to make his favorite tea for him, but because of the quality of the water, she poured it over and over again.

Famous tea is worth thousands of gold, but she squanders it at will.

That was the first time he scolded her, his eyes were obviously angry, but he held back.

It's just that she was not allowed to watch the singing and dancing, and she was left in the study, standing up and holding a pen, writing every word of the famous teas of the past dynasties.When she wrote about the Tang Dynasty, her eyes were red with grievances, listening to the sound of singing and dancing music in the distance, but she had to continue to hold the pen, and continued to write word by word: Mengding, Zisun...Shenquan Xiaotuan, Bijian Mingyue, Fang Mountain dew buds, Yonghu lake cream, Xishan Bailu, Huoshan yellow buds...

She blinked hard, trying to hold back the tears, but they still fell on the paper and became dizzy.

"Eleventh," he leaned down slightly, looked at the densely packed paper she had written, and finally spoke, "If you pour a cup of tea, it will be the people's rations for a few days, or even a whole month. If you like tea, I will make it for you." You buy tea, but you don't want to be arrogant and indulgent, and you don't know the hard work of the people."

Holding the pen in her hand, she nodded slightly.

"You are the future princess..." Zhou Shengchen continued.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at him tearfully.

She didn't want to remember these things just because she was a princess.She was just his apprentice, willing to be punished by him.

Tearful eyes, full of stubbornness.

Zhou Shengchen hesitated to speak, couldn't help smiling slightly, straightened up: "Continue writing."

There is a night wind blowing in.

Pingtan was still going on, Shi Yi leaned against the side of the wooden bench, still having trouble pulling his mind back.

There seemed to be rice paper full of copying in front of her eyes.

And Yu Guangli, only him.

The place where you live at night, the decoration is not exquisite.

More like ordinary people.

I don't know if it was because of the Pingtan episode after dinner, or because of the atmosphere here, but she remembered the time when they were in Zhenjiang before he left.It was short and mysterious. At that time, I was only nervous about getting along with his strange family. Now that I think about it, I feel more emotional.

Is he destined to exist in such a family?

Zhong Ding's house is hidden in the world.

After sleeping until three o'clock, the segment of copying the name of the tea appeared repeatedly, and she tossed and got up.After thinking for a long time, I finally dialed his number. During the long waiting tone, I wanted to hang up several times.

Is he taking a short break?Still in the lab?Still in a meeting?
She raised the phone to her eyes, looked at the unconnected notification, and her thumb had already slid to the option to hang up.Suddenly the phone was connected... Shi Yi immediately picked it up and stuck it to his ear.

"Why are you still up so late?" Zhou Shengchen's voice was a little puzzled.

"I had a dream," her voice sounded sleepy. "It was the same dream, repeated many times. I knew it was a dream, but I couldn't wake up, so I could only watch it."

"nightmare?"

"Well, nightmare."

"Those water towns have stories." Zhou Shengchen didn't know where it was, and the voice came through, accompanied by some slight echoes. "I've heard of some, and most of them have signs of bewitching. But I don't believe it, maybe Did you not rest well during the day?"

"Well... maybe."

The dream was the same, both him and her, Shi Yi didn't find it scary.So when I woke up, I just had the urge to listen to his voice, as if to prove that he really existed, in the same age and space as me.

"Dream what?" he asked.

"I dreamed that I was copying famous teas from past dynasties," she whispered, "Can you recite them? Teas from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Almost, I know some of them."

"for example?"

"For example?" He laughed, "Do you want me to recite the name of the tea for you and lull you to sleep?"

"Hmm..." She was lying flat at first, but now she turned to her side and changed into a more comfortable position, "I want to hear it."

"It seems that my wife is one of the four great voices?" He teased her, "I'm just a researcher, the voice is really nothing special, I'm afraid you will get tired of it after listening to it for a long time."

"No..." She smiled, "I will never get tired of it for a lifetime."

There was a little silence over there, and her name was called.

"Ok?"

Shi Yi thought he wanted to say something.

Unexpectedly, he really started to read the names of those teas to her.Mengding, Purple Bamboo Shoots, Shenquan Xiaotuan, Bijian Mingyue, Fangshan Luya, Yonghu Hangao, Xishan Bailu, Huoshan Huangya...

Some may be record problems, and the individual words are slightly different, but she did not make a sound to correct them.

She sat up and leaned against the wooden bed, looking at the sparse lights outside the window.The architectural design here has a sense of age. In that era, the Cui family of Qinghe and Chang'an were both north of the Yangtze River. What did Jiangnan look like?She wasn't too impressed.Only in the poems of Li and Du, I learned that "women are like snow" in Jiangnan.

And hundreds of years later, she was sitting here, listening to Zhou Shengchen far away on the other side of the ocean, reciting some boring tea names to herself.

There was nothing characteristic of his voice.

Read slowly, but patiently.She found that Zhou Shengchen's greatest strength was patience. She didn't know if he was like this to everyone, at least he had always been like this to her from the first acquaintance to the present.

"Wuzhou Dongbai, Qimen Square Tea, Qujiang Thin Slices, Qimen Tuanhuang, Yashan Hengwen, Tianzhu Tea, Xiaojiang Tuan, Jiukeng Tea, Qihuo Tea, Zhuyuliao..." He paused, " That’s about it, that’s all, do you still want to listen to other dynasties?”

"Hmm..." Shi Yi hesitated, wanting to ask if he was busy.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound outside the door.

It was like the sound of metal falling to the ground. I heard this sound just now, but she wanted to hear him so much that she ignored it. "Shi Yi?" Zhou Shengchen suddenly called her again, "What's wrong?"

"I seem to hear a strange voice..." she said in a low voice, comforting herself, "It's not what you said...'there are some stories here'..."

He laughed and teased slightly: "You believe in Buddhism and don't do evil things, why are you afraid of gods and ghosts?"

"I don't know, is it natural?"

She thought about it carefully, people who have experienced reincarnation really shouldn't be so afraid of the dark, or afraid of gods and ghosts.

Zhou Shengchen said something again.

Shi Yi seldom took the initiative to call him, and unexpectedly, he took the initiative to chat with her about his experiments.Shi Yi listened carefully, went over to close the window tightly, and when he went to the door to check the lock, he heard some footsteps.
