Chapter 261 The Ebb and Flow of Time(1/2)
It's just Brother Tangtang...
The fireworks in my chest are gradually coming to an end...
I still feel a little disappointed, even though I never expect it intellectually, but I yearn for it emotionally.
Ha, Brother Tangtang is also very good...
At least, finally being able to sit across from her and stare at her is also a kind of happiness.
Xiaohai was a good and sensible boy. After helping them prepare their midnight snacks, he quietly retired, leaving them with a starry sky and a cabin full of river breeze.
After all, I am still your Tangtang brother.
In such a bright moon over the river, Tao Zi stared at him across from him. Those ink-like eyes were just like the way they looked when they first met. The brilliant lights on the river were not as warm and tolerant as the ink in his pupils.
She laughs.
From the day of the divorce, she told herself that meeting and falling in love with him was something she would never regret. Even if they were separated in the end, she would have no complaints. However, if she had no complaints, why would she travel far away?
Drifting? If there is no resentment, why would you avoid it? If there is no resentment, why would you resist reunion? Perhaps, at this time, she can truly say to herself that he is still her brother Tangtang, and she will no longer resent you.
…
"Eat! I'm hungry!" he said.
Tao Zi suddenly thought of a question, "What time did your flight arrive?"
"We just arrived not long ago!" he said without thinking as he served her some dishes.
That means you didn't have dinner? There was a thought swirling in Tao Zi's mind. He slowly plucked his chopsticks at the food a few times, "You...do you have anything to do when you come to S City?"
The chopsticks he stretched out hung in the air for a moment, then he put them down and smiled, "Yes, I'm here with my third son to do some errands."
Tao Zi nodded, remained silent, and silently finished the dishes he put in her bowl. When his chopsticks came over again, she reached for the plate of hairy crabs herself.
"lay down!"
As soon as she reached it, she was startled by a low shout, and the hairy crab just fell back onto the plate.
She didn't know why and looked at him opposite in surprise.
But seeing a slight embarrassment on his face, he shouted towards the stern of the boat, "Xiaohai! Is it cooked yet?"
"Here we come!" came a reply from the stern of the boat, and Hao Xiaohai came out with a bowl of hot brown sugar glutinous rice balls.
Tao Zi still didn't understand what was going on. Xiao Hai chuckled and disappeared automatically. Ning Zhenqian's voice rang out amidst the waves, "Eat it when it's colder!"
Tao Zi glanced at the hot glutinous rice balls and wondered why she wanted to eat them on such a hot day? She was still sweating profusely after eating them.
Her mind was knotted, and before she could straighten it out, his slightly scolding voice sounded, "You're not young anymore! Don't do whatever you want! You know you're cold, but you still have to do it these days.
Eat crabs!”
These days? Which days are they? A line that is familiar to people all over the country naturally and spontaneously pops up in her mind. There are always a few days in every month...
Suddenly, she remembered that there was a time in that ninety-square-meter house, and how much she coveted his warmth during those few days of the month. The most embarrassing time was when he got her sanitary napkins.
.
Perhaps because of the special situation, he did remember this day very well and always remembered it. However, they had been divorced for more than a year. He didn't know that a lot could change in more than a year, and the day when his aunt came to visit would also change...
However, she didn't touch the hairy crab. She lowered her head, silently scooped up a glutinous rice ball with a porcelain spoon, and blew it gently.
The brown-red soup exuded a strong fragrance. In the light pouring from the surrounding cruise ships, the glutinous rice balls set off by white porcelain blurred into a ball in her sight, like a round bead, shimmering.
She lowered her head and took it into her mouth, biting it lightly, but her tongue was burned by the stuffing that came out.
"Ah..." she exclaimed softly, spitting the glutinous rice balls into the bowl.
His color was not very nice, "I told you it was permed! Why is it always rough and rough like a child's!"
His hand suddenly stretched out and pinched her chin with his fingertips, "Is it hot? Stick out your tongue and let me see!"
By the way, when has his expression ever looked better? He also has a dark face when he smiles, okay? She has long been used to it, but his fingers are holding her chin like this, as if the warmth of his fingertips is transmitted to her skin.
Likewise, her face gradually became warm.
"No!" She stuck out her tongue, maliciously, and the heat on her face was still rising.
Her expression was very naughty, and it made his heart beat fast. He saw her full expression in the past. The girl who was always naughty, lively, and colorful in front of him was finally back...
Finally he let go of her chin, and at the same time, he wiped away the drop of brown sugar soup from her lips, frowned, "You still look like a child." Although he had a dark face, the tenderness and indulgence in his eyes were there.
It can't be hidden in the shadow of the lamp.
They didn't drink. Maybe the boat was heaving too much, and both of them were a little drowsy. Ning Zhenqian said he was hungry, but he didn't eat much. He just looked at her and talked occasionally.
The surroundings are very noisy, but the world is very quiet.
That night, there was nothing else in his eyes.
He seemed to have returned to his inarticulate self. He was dull and silent. His heart was deep, quiet and stable.
It's my brother who has fallen into the sea. This is who he is.
He didn't know where he who was talking on the phone jumped out from. He only knew that on the days when he didn't see her and at night when he was holding the phone, he was actually very scared. He was afraid that he would never hear her again after talking on the phone.
He was afraid of ending the call once the topic was interrupted, so he kept thinking and thinking, and his heart was nervous and frightened, which he had never felt before when he was young and frivolous...
At this moment, she is right in front of her, and the world is like this...
Unconsciously, as the night got darker, Tao Zi looked at the time and said lightly, "It's past eleven o'clock, I should go back."
He looked into the cabin and said, "Just sleep here! Xiaohai said there is a bed."
Uh...is this appropriate?
But she saw that he had stood up, took two steps forward, remembered something, and came back to hold her hand.
She was led to the cabin by him, and there was indeed a bed. It looked like a newly laid quilt, with the creases still there. However, there was only one bed. Would she like to remind her of their relationship?
"Xiao Hai said everything is clean, you sleep here." He said.
The implication is... that he is looking for another place to live?
"Go to sleep." He sat down on a chair next to the bed.
Shall we sleep? No pajamas? She hesitated and lay down with her clothes on. The cabin was a little hot and she didn't cover herself with a quilt.
How could she sleep with him staring at her so eagerly?
She simply turned her back to him, but there seemed to be feelings on her back. His bright black eyes seemed to be sending out signals, burning her back, making her feel numb and extremely uncomfortable.
Not daring to move at will, he just lay there stiffly.
After all, she was on the river. The boat was swaying. When she closed her eyes, she felt like she was floating on the clouds. She was rocking and rocking. She didn’t know when she fell asleep, and she didn’t know where he went after her.
at.
When I woke up, the sky was slightly bright, the hull of the ship was still gently swaying with the waves, but there was no trace of him in the cabin.
My body is slightly hot, and I clearly remember that I slept with my clothes on last night without a quilt. At this time, I was covered with a brand new quilt and added a bed blanket...
He was clearly afraid of the cold when she was in inconvenience...
He got up subconsciously and walked out of the cabin. On the deck, under the gray sky, in the layers of smoke and mist, was the back of his independent bow, dressed in black, as if he had stood in reincarnation...
"Ahem!" She coughed twice, but she didn't know what to call him. The obviously familiar figure in front of her suddenly became unfamiliar...
He turned around, his bright black eyes seemed to be covered with the mist of morning dew, and he smiled half-heartedly, "My name is not Keke. Nannan."
He still calls her Nannan, but she can no longer call her Brother Tangtang. Just like when they first got married, she called him chief, uncle of the People's Liberation Army, commander... all the names she could think of, and he called him
She is like "that who".
She could only cough twice again in embarrassment, indicating that she was not calling him "cough", but that her throat was itchy, and then in the gray light, he walked towards her.
"You have a cold? I want you to sleep without a quilt!" His foggy face darkened slightly.
"No..." It turns out that pretending to have a scratchy throat won't work.
He looked a little strange and looked at the time, "I'm going to the airport. Let Xiaohai take you to the hospital!"
"I really don't have a cold..." She also saw the time on the screen of his mobile phone. It's still so early... Do you want to rush back to work? "I said what's the matter with you? You're rushing back and forth like this, Zuo Chen
An has business, but you are a soldier, what do you want?"
Is this an expression of dissatisfaction with his busy schedule?
His eyes lit up slightly, and he stared at her, with a mysterious smile on his lips, "I also have business, a very important business." I still remember that she once said that he was the most important business in her life. At that time, if
I was just moved, but now I understand how profoundly...
The boat landed firmly on the shore, and he chased her away, "Go in, it's a bit windy outside in the morning, stop it! I'm leaving first!"
She is said to be just like the flowers in the greenhouse...
Before he could say anything, he strode towards the bow of the ship, and then, in a few short steps, jumped to the shore. He turned back and waved his hand, signaling her to hurry in, and then disappeared into the morning mist without looking back...
She stood in a daze, her hair wet with dew. It took her a long time to remember that she hadn't asked him where he slept last night...
But forget it, she can't control it.
"Sister! Are you up so early?" Xiao Hai came out of nowhere and called her.
To be continued...
