Just after he finished speaking, he noticed Xu Hongdou following Zhou Chen.
"You, Xu Hongdou, why did you come together?"
Zhou Chen explained with a smile: "Xu Hongdou and I have met in the capital before. We met today when we were having dinner, and I found out that she also lives in Youfeng Xiaoyuan and lives next door to me. I happened to have nothing to do, so I took her with me.
walking around."
Xu Hong stood behind Zhou Chen and said nothing.
Xie Zhiyao's expression changed slightly: "So that's it. I didn't expect Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou to know each other. What a coincidence."
"It's a coincidence, Mr. Xie, Xu Hong wants to experience the feeling of riding a horse. Can the little cutie rent it to me for two hours?"
"Of course, no problem. I'm going to bring the little cutie over now. Can she ride a horse? Do you need my help?"
"It doesn't matter. I can just help her. I won't bother thanking you. You can go about your business."
Xie Zhiyao nodded, walked over and took the little cutie over. The cutie was still very docile in front of Zhou Chen.
Xie Zhiyao stood not far away, looking at Zhou Chen carefully guiding Xu Hongdou to mount the horse, and then holding the little cutie and leading Xu Hongdou forward, with a somewhat complicated expression.
"It seems that Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou are more than just acquaintances."
He could tell that Zhou Chen's attitude towards Xu Hongdou was different. Although there were not many girls in Yunmiao Village, he had known Zhou Chen for so many days and knew that Zhou Chen was quite proud at heart. This was the first time he had seen Zhou Chen treat a girl.
The woman is so enthusiastic, so it’s no wonder that there is no problem.
Zhou Chen held the little cutie and drove Xu Hongdou for a long time. It was not until Xu Hongdou said she was tired that the horseback riding trip ended.
"I see you are a little tired, why don't you go back to the courtyard and rest for a while?"
Xu Hongdou said: "Well, I'm just about to go back, and the room needs to be tidied up."
"Okay, then let's go back."
Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou were walking on the road by the sea.
"You just said that your phone broke and you need to go to the ancient city to repair it. The ancient city is a bit far away from here. I happen to have a car. When are you planning to go, I will drive you there."
Xu Hongdou asked in surprise: "Did you drive here?"
"Well, it's a semi-self-driving trip. If your phone is broken, you'd better get it repaired as soon as possible. In today's society, it's hard to get around without a phone."
Xu Hongdou said with deep understanding: "Yes, you will be the one paying the bill at noon, otherwise I would have to swipe my card."
"Haha, just swipe your card. There are very few places in this village with card swiping machines. You don't have any cash on you."
"Who brings cash nowadays? I didn't expect to be so unlucky. I broke my phone on the first day I came here."
"Then do you want to go for repairs tomorrow? If so, I will drive you there early tomorrow morning."
"That's not necessary. I want to sleep until I wake up naturally tomorrow."
Xu Hongdou raised her hands, looking excited. She hadn't been this relaxed for a long time, and she couldn't remember the last time she slept until she woke up naturally.
"Okay, when are you going to get your phone repaired? Just tell me and I will drive you there."
"Okay, Zhou Chen, thank you."
Xu Hongdou did not refuse. The mobile phone must be repaired, and she was not familiar with the place here. With Zhou Chen's help, it would save her a lot of trouble.
Zhou Chen said: "There is no need to be so polite. We are all away from home, so we should help each other."
The two of them were not in a hurry and strolled on the road. It took them more than an hour to return to Yunmiao Village.
When they returned to the windy courtyard, they saw Ma Qiushan who was meditating. Xu Hongdou said something to Zhou Chen and then returned to the room. Zhou Chen also returned to the room from the other side.
When Xu Hongdou returned to the room, she didn't clean it up because she had already finished it in the morning.
She sat by the bed, picked up the photo of herself and Chen Nanxing, and took out the treasured double painting.
"Chen Nanxing, you know, today I actually met Zhou Chen, who painted a portrait for us last time. It's really incredible. In a place as big as China, he and I actually met in this small Yunmiao Village.
And we became neighbors.”
"I didn't believe in the so-called fate before, but this time, I have to believe it, otherwise it really can't be explained."
Looking at Chen Nanxing in the photo, her eyes became blurred.
"You persuaded me to contact him before, but I didn't listen to you. Now that he appears in front of me, I doubt that you have kept your mouth open?"
Her eyes fell on the well-protected double portrait. It was just an ordinary portrait, but she still kept it and cherished it very much, because she and Chen Nanxing had many double photos, but such a double portrait,
There is and only this one.
"Zhou Chen still remembers me, so he must also remember you. Chen Nanxing, it turns out that besides me, there is another person here who knows you. Although Zhou Chen may not know anything, I only need to know
He is inexplicably happy when he knows you. Do you know how happy I am?"
The reason why she was with Zhou Chen today was not only because Zhou Chen knew her, but also partly because Zhou Chen also knew Chen Nanxing. This feeling made her feel inexplicably close and at ease.
"Chen Nanxing, let me tell you, this handsome guy in your eyes was a programmer before, haha. Fortunately, he is not bald or greasy."
As she spoke, she felt a little sleepy. She put the painting away, hugged the photo of herself and Chen Nanxing, and slowly fell asleep.
After Zhou Chen returned to the room, nothing happened, so he picked up the wood and knife and started carving.
He has developed the habit of learning wood carving these days and will do it whenever he has time. He understands the principle of perseverance better than most people.
Time passed slowly with the sound of knife carvings, and soon the sky outside became dark.
Zhou Chen stopped what he was doing, looked at the half-finished wood carving, and shook his head in disappointment.
He originally wanted to carve a group of ponies, and the images had already come out, but he still felt dissatisfied, so he threw them aside, put away the tools, stood up and stretched.
