the time you love

Chapter 21 Hearing the sound of flowers blooming (3)
"During the four years in college, I kept blaming you." I said it without hesitation. I think what I lacked with this man was never emotion, but communication.

"I know." He responded very naturally, "So you don't want to come back every winter and summer vacation, because you have to face me when you come back."

I lowered my head and took a sip of tea silently.

The night sky was full of stars, and the small bridges and flowing water in the ancient town seemed extraordinarily quiet. We walked back to the hotel side by side, not talking much along the way.He suddenly took my hand and put something in my palm.

It is a small bunch of grapes, full of grains.

"When was it picked? Why didn't I know?" I looked at him in surprise, and said with a smile, "If the boss finds out, wouldn't Dr. Zhou's fame be ruined?"

"I bought it from the boss." I was intoxicated, but he said something so unsightly.

"What!" I glared at him ferociously, "How much did you buy it for? My God, you actually bought grapes in a teahouse! You can tell that the consumption is not low at a glance at that kind of place, and the three pots of jasmine slices went to more than 100, which is obvious. It’s just to make money from tourists, and you also said that grapes are sold all over the street, so why do you still buy from him? You’re so generous, it’s no wonder the boss doesn’t just raise the price!”

I said a lot, and he answered me slowly: "You know there is more?"

I was completely speechless, and said in frustration: "Okay, anyway, you have a lot of money."

He laughed and pinched my cheek, "Fool, how can I only take so few if I buy it."

I realized that I had been tricked and shouted: "Zhou Nuoyan!"

There were several barks from the depths of the alley, as if in response, I couldn't help laughing.

When I got back to the hotel, the first thing I did was to wash the grapes, put them in a clean glass, and fill it with water.Zhou Nuoyan waited at the door of the bathroom, looked at the grapes, did not express any opinion, took clean clothes and went in to take a shower.

I curled my lips, it is troublesome for a man to have a cleanliness fetish.Put the cup on the table, and the small orange lamp in the room was facing it. I admired it for a while, thinking about finding something to do.This hotel probably intends to deliberately create the atmosphere of an ancient inn. There are not many modern equipment, even the TV is missing, but there is a CD player. I really don't understand the boss's idea.

Randomly picked out a CD from a bunch of CDs and played it, and the beautiful music sounded immediately.

This is an old song. I remember it was the theme song of the movie "Green Snake".

"Half-cold, half-warm, autumn clouds stick by your side,
Quietly watching the streamer flying,

Pieces of red leaves in the wind made my body feel soft.

Between half-drunk and half-awake, there are thousands of smiles in people's eyes,

Let me be like snow in the clouds,

Gently kissing someone's face with ice clear water brings out wave after wave of lingering.

How much love is left in the world to welcome the thousand changes in the floating life,

Don't ask if it's a calamity or a fate to do happy things with a lover.

Like a willow and like a spring breeze, accompany you through the spring,

Just let you bury your head in the mist.

Release all the fanaticism in my heart and embrace the spring rain..."

At the end of the song, I was still singing in a low voice, and the sound of rushing water in the bathroom was like the background music.

"...Do happy things with a lover, don't ask if it's a calamity or a fate..."

Tossing and turning in bed until midnight, still no sleep at all.So she quietly got out of bed and crawled to Zhou Nuoyan's side.He was clearly awake, but he didn't open his eyes to look at me, but turned his back to me and said, "Why aren't you asleep?"

I lay down and stared at his spine, "I can't sleep, let's talk."

He sat up, turned on the desk lamp, and looked at the small alarm clock, "Now is the best time for liver detoxification, you should sleep soundly."

"Doctor Zhou, have you brought sleeping pills? Give me some."

He glanced at me and closed his eyes without saying a word.

I moved closer to him and pulled the thin blanket on his body, "Give me some, it's cold!"

He generously gave me the whole blanket and moved away.

I pretended I didn't see it, and after a while, I moved a few inches cheekily.

He frowned and said in a low voice, "He Bixi, what do you want?"

I innocently asked: "What do you want?"

He was silent, and then silent.

I put my face under his eyelids, "Speak..."

His lips came close and sealed my mouth.My heart began to speed up, my cheeks were burning hot, and my hands were so tense that I didn't know where to put them.Damn, am I being shy?But...but how could this kind of reaction happen to me?Wen Lin always said that I have a thick skin. Once we had a sleep meeting in the dormitory and blew up about our first kiss experience. It was my turn to say that they all laughed half to death-I once widened my eyes because of curiosity, so that I was scared away The boy who wanted to kiss me, I became the "kiss" killer recognized by the whole dormitory.

Probably amused by my bewilderment, Zhou Nuoyan stopped and looked at me amusedly, "Close your eyes and put your arms around me."

I did as I was told.He bowed his head and kissed me, with unprecedented tenderness in every move.I passively endured it and gradually got into it.

"Zhou Nuoyan, Zhou Nuoyan..." Taking advantage of the gap between them, I suddenly felt courageous, "Let's...do it?"

His hands were slightly stiff, and he stared at me, "Are you sure?"

I put my arms around his neck, licked my lips, and said with a smile: "Well, you want to marry me."

He seemed a little surprised, paused for a few seconds, and asked again: "Are you serious?"

"If you ask again, I will reconsider."

His expression was very complicated, with emotions that I couldn't see through, and then he hugged me tightly.I thought he would let go soon, but after waiting for a long time, he maintained this movement.

I was a little out of breath, and discussed with him: "Uh, can you let me go first?"

Realizing that he lost his composure, he let go of his hand, "We'll register when we get back."

"Ah."

"We'll have the wedding when we get back."

"Ah."

"Just go back..."

"and many more!"

I remembered something, and cried out in a hurry, "Then can you ask for a wedding leave?"

He froze for a moment and asked, "What do you do?"

"Honeymoon, is this really our honeymoon? I want to go to Vienna..."

He laughed and ruffled my hair, "I'll go with you sometime."

I threw myself on him and kissed him, because it was late at night, I was afraid of alarming the people next door, we tried our best to keep our voices down, it was really unbearable, and occasionally it would burst out, and then the other party stretched out his hand to cover it.

That night, I saw a lunatic in his deep and beautiful black pupils, smiling very sweetly.

I was simply overwhelmed with happiness.

The quiet town, the beautiful mountains and rivers, the clean air, the people who love each other, all these make me intoxicated.

However, a phone call from He Amber poured over my excited nerves like a bucket of ice water.

"He Bixi, get the hell out of here right now. Why are you enjoying yourself outside, and I'm going to watch over their wives and suffer?" Every time it was time to curse, her voice became sharper and higher-pitched.Sure enough, as I expected, in the next 10 minutes, I handed over the mobile phone to Zhou Nuoyan, so that he could also experience He Amber's ability to swear without swearing.

I picked up the sheet mask that I had prepared earlier in the morning and applied it to my face.Leaning in his arms, looking up, admiring his frowning expression with great interest, but that expression was a little dignified, and I smelled something bad.

"Pack up and go to the airport." He hung up and returned the phone to me.

"What?" I grabbed him, sensing his displeasure, "It's about Zhou Shouxin again?"

"Amber is going to divorce Shouxin, and my mother sprained her leg again."

I suddenly had a feeling of irony, Zhou Nuoyan and I were going to get married, and her old man started a divorce. She was really ahead of me in everything, I thought so in my heart, and said it without paying attention .

Zhou Nuoyan yelled at me through gritted teeth: "He Bixi, we haven't registered yet, you're thinking about getting a divorce—"

I knew I was wrong, so I hurriedly packed his luggage to please him. This man is my long-term meal ticket. As the saying goes, I would rather offend a villain than my own five internal organs temple...

I bid farewell to Ye Min, then took a taxi to the station, and transferred to the nearest airport. It was a flight at 07:30 in the evening, and it arrived in Wucheng at around [-] o'clock, if the plane was not delayed.

Zhou Nuoyan took my ID card and went to check-in together. I was hungry at the moment, so I wandered around the airport, found a nearby store, and went in to buy bread and mineral water.When paying, he remembered that he could not drink cold drinks, so he asked for another glass of hot orange juice.

Handed the food to him, seeing that he didn't intend to do anything, took it back, tore off the wrapping paper for him, and handed it to his mouth.

He had no choice but to take it and took two symbolic bites.

"Why did He Amber and the others divorce?" I asked while nibbling on the bread, "What does it have to do with whether Zhou Shouxin can get the inheritance?"

"This is expected." He said in a casual tone, as if he didn't take it seriously at all, but I knew it wasn't. I saw everything he did for Zhou Shouxin.

I was a little surprised: "How to say?"

"Some people are doomed to share joys and sorrows." He said calmly, "Back when Shouxin told me that he wanted to marry Amber, I disagreed. He cut his veins in a fit of anger and tried to force me to compromise."

I have already learned about this from He Amber, so I am not surprised, "Is it really because he cut his pulse that you agreed to them?"

He looked at me and shook his head, "It's not difficult to make him give up on Amber, it's just a mistake on my mind..."

"You were moved by his determination to sacrifice for love?"

He was silent, and after a long time, he said: "I did one thing wrong, which made me regret to this day, and because of this, I redefine love and death. I was shocked by the behavior of keeping promises. I think if he Amber can even die, so I should trust his feelings and give them a chance."

"So you chose to help them, let them study abroad together, and later prepared for their wedding."

"Looking back, it was a foolish approach."

"Don't think so," I held his hand and comforted him, "The feeling is that Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. You just did what a brother should do. He chooses the person himself. He will bear the consequences himself."

His eyes fell on my face, deep and distant, as if caught in some kind of memory.
