Chapter 1201 Establishing a relationship under the starry sky
Zhou Chen was walking in the woods, always keeping vigilance. This was a forest, and it was on the seaside, so the chance of snakes appearing was quite high.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard the sound of stepping on a branch. I turned around and saw that Xu Hongdou was following me.
"How did you come?"
"Sitting here is also for chatting. Come in with you and take a look. Maybe you can see something interesting."
Zhou Chen said: "Then you may be disappointed, you haven't found anything interesting yet."
Xu Hongdou walked over calmly. Just when she walked in front of Zhou Chen and was about to speak, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yeah, rabbit."
I saw a gray rabbit jumping in the direction she was pointing, but she screamed, frightening the rabbit, and it swooped out and disappeared from the sight of Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou in the blink of an eye.
among.
Xu Hongdou said with a face of surprise: "There are actually hares here. I haven't seen hares in many years."
When she was a child, she lived with her grandma in the countryside for a long time and saw hares in the fields. However, her grandma disappeared later. After she moved to the city, she also saw rabbits, but they were not hares, but domesticated rabbits.
Little rabbit.
Zhou Chen said: "This is the seaside after all. With such a large mountain forest, it is normal for there to be hares. Let's walk around and see if there are any others."
The two walked together in the woods for a long time, but to their disappointment, they did not encounter any other small animals, not even rabbits.
"Go back, after all, this is not a zoo, nor is it a large wild forest."
Xu Hongdou was disappointed, but Zhou Chen thought it was normal. Although this was a rural area, it had experienced deforestation, and the chance of wild animals existing was relatively low.
Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou returned to the camp. Others asked curiously: "Did you find anything?"
Xu Hongdou said: "I saw a hare and it ran too fast."
"It's starting to get dark. Let's make a fire first and roast the sweet potatoes later. When the stars come out, we can eat and drink while watching the Milky Way."
Xie Zhiyao clapped his hands and invited everyone to light a fire and share the table together. When everyone finished their work, the sky was completely dark, but the stars had not come out yet.
"Phew, it's finally fine."
Several people sat down individually, raised their drinks and beers together, and cheered: "Here, cheers."
"cheers!"
Eating sweet potatoes and drinking beer, Da Mai said happily: "Well, this roasted sweet potato is really delicious. I have been working in Aunt Feng's orchard for a few days. It is really delicious these days."
Nana smiled and said: "So, people should participate in more labor and sweat more."
Xu Hongdou said: "I think so too, but it's okay to participate in this kind of labor occasionally. If you do it all the time, I probably won't be able to stand it."
Although her work in the hotel requires her to stand all the time and is very tiring, it is not the same as the tiredness of farm work. She can persist in standing all the time, but she will definitely not be able to bear it if she is asked to do farm work all the time.
Damai agreed: "Me too, a homebody like me can't bear to do farm work like this every day. Among the few of us, I have done the least these days."
Xie Xiaochun said: "It doesn't matter how much you do or how little you do, the important thing is to participate. Thanks to your help this time, otherwise we and Aunt Feng alone would probably have to work a few more days to complete the project."
"Yes, it's really all thanks to you this time. I'd like to thank you here." Xie Zhiyao put down the barbecue tongs in his hand and cupped his hands with Zhou Chen and others to express his gratitude.
"Mr. Xie, we are not helping you, so why are you thanking us?"
"Yes, we are helping Aunt Feng's family. At best, you may have lied to us, but today's team building will be considered as an apology from you."
"Nana is right, Mr. Xie, even if you apologize today, I really want to eat chicken wings. Hurry and bake them for us."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed.
While he was enjoying his meal, Hu Youyu suddenly asked Damai, "Damai, when are you leaving?"
Damai replied: "I'm leaving next week. I've already agreed with Xiaochun to check out next week."
Xu Hongdou sighed, with a look of reluctance on his face: "Damai, I'm leaving now, why don't you stay a few more days? My three-month lease will expire soon."
Damai shook his head: "No, I've been out for too long. My parents have been calling me every now and then in the past three days, urging me to go back."
Nana asked: "Then when you go back, why don't you continue writing novels instead of going out to work? Have you discussed this matter with your parents?"
"We have discussed it. My dad doesn't really hate me writing novels, he just doesn't want me to stay in my room all day without going out. I have promised my dad that I will go out at least four days a week."
"That's good. Although it's good here, it can't compare to being at home."
Although Nana has a very good relationship with Damai and is reluctant to let Damai leave, she also sincerely thinks about Damai. Going home will definitely be more convenient and more secure than staying in Yunmiao Village.
She actually wants to go home, but her situation is very complicated. No one here knows her. She can live a normal life, but if she returns home, she will only face other people's strange looks and rumors.
Hu Youyu asked: "Da Mai, after you leave, will you come back to see us?"
Damai said: "Of course, I will definitely come back and stay for a while next year. Will you still be there then?"
Hu Youyu smiled and said: "I don't know if they are there, but I am definitely there, and I have nowhere to go."
Nana raised her hands and said: "I must be there, Hongdou, Zhou Chen, where are you two?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "If we come again next year, we will definitely stay in the same room."
"Wow!"
The strange screams from the crowd made Xu Hongdou's face suddenly turn red, and she pushed Zhou Chen next to her.
"What are you talking about? I didn't say I wanted to be your girlfriend. Don't make fun of me."
Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "I'm not joking. I sincerely invite you to come with me on vacation."
Xu Hongdou gave him a big look: "You can't say for sure. If I'm busy with work, I might not have time, but I will try my best to adjust my time. I have also figured it out these days. I can't do what I did before.
We work day and night, and we still need some time and space to rest. After all, we don’t know who will come first tomorrow or the unexpected, so sometimes we still have to enjoy ourselves in time.”
Xie Zhiyao applauded: "Well said, if you all come by then, if there is no room, I will arrange for you to stay in a B&B. The B&B invested by our President Zhou will definitely open next year."
Damai blinked and looked at Zhou Chen: "Mr. Zhou's B&B, if we stay at it then, can it be free?"
Zhou Chen said: "Of course, what kind of relationship do we have? It must be free."
"That's great, Mr. Zhou, we will remember what you said, and we will stay at your B&B from now on."
"Teacher Hu, Mr. Zhou, in this situation, why don't you sing a song?"
Nana, Damai and others started making noises.
Hu Youyu patted his chest and said, "Of course, no problem. I'll warm up the place first, and then let Zhou Chen perform."
He first picked up the guitar and started singing. Compared with his previous singing, this time he obviously improved a lot.
During the recent period, he often went to Zhou Chen to ask for music knowledge. Zhou Chen did not hide it and taught him a lot of music knowledge, singing skills, etc., so he was able to make rapid progress in a short period of time.
After Hu Youyu finished singing, he handed the guitar to Zhou Chen.
"Teacher Zhou, please play another song for us."
Others also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, you can sing a song too."
"Okay, since everyone is kindly invited, let me sing a song."
Zhou Chen took the guitar, played with it a few times, and then whispered: "A song of "Friends" for everyone."
This is a popular old song. As soon as Zhou Chen started singing a few lines, Nana and Damai started singing along. Then, as if it was contagious, everyone else started singing along too. In the blink of an eye, everything changed.
It became a chorus.
…………
Xie Zhiyao did not lie. You can indeed see the beautiful Milky Way here. Everyone was mesmerized by it when they looked at this beautiful Milky Way.
Compared with this vast Milky Way starry sky, human beings are really small and fragile.
It wasn't until late at night that everyone couldn't stand it anymore and went into the tents that had been set up long ago to sleep, but some of them didn't sleep.
For example, Xu Hongdou couldn't sleep, so she put on her coat and sat in front of the campfire, looking at the stars blankly.
Zhou Chen sat down next to her and covered her body with the blanket in his hand.
"It's cold at night, don't freeze."
"Thanks."
Xu Hongdou smiled sweetly at Zhou Chen, and then wrapped the blanket tightly.
"Tonight's starry sky and moonlight are really beautiful. I can't help but fall into it. I just don't know, among so many stars, which one is my grandma and which one is Chen Nanxing."
Zhou Chen said: "I think the two brightest ones should be your grandma and Chen Nanxing, because they know you are thinking about them, so they will respond to you with the brightest light and let you see them."
Xu Hongdou asked in surprise: "Do you believe this too?"
"According to science, stars are celestial bodies in the universe, but there are many things in the world that science cannot explain, so I believe in science, but I also believe in some unscientific things, because you don't know if you haven't experienced it personally.
Knowing whether it is true or not, there may really be supernatural events in the universe.”
Zhou Chen turned around and found that Xu Hongdou was looking at him with a strange look.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Hongdou smiled and said: "What you just said was too serious. People who don't know would think you have encountered those supernatural events."
Zhou Chen smiled casually and said, "Maybe I really met him?"
Xu Hongdou didn't take it seriously at all and just looked up at the sky.
"I think what you said makes sense. The brightest stars must be grandma and Chen Nanxing. They are the ones responding to me."
"Chen Nanxing once told me that when she was born, her father saw that it was almost dawn and there was a particularly bright South Pole Star due in the south, so he named her South Star."
Zhou Chen's expression froze. When he heard this, he was really defeated by Xu Hongdou's simplicity.
"We can't see the South Pole Star in the northern hemisphere. At best, when it's almost dawn, we can see the Morning Star, and it's in the east."
Xu Hongdou was stunned: "Can't you see the South Pole Star?"
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I can't see it."
Xu Hongdou burst into laughter, laughing that she had been deceived for so many years and didn't even notice it at all.
"Although we can't see the South Pole Star, as I just said, the brightest stars in the sky are definitely them."
"Want to listen to some music?"
"Listen to music?"
"Yes, we were talking about the stars, and suddenly something came to mind and I thought of a song to sing to you."
"Okay, just sing a cappella. Don't disturb everyone's rest."
"Okay, this song is called "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky"."
"The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear it clearly? Those who look up."
"………………"
After singing a song, Xu Hongdou stared at Zhou Chen with his big eyes unblinking.
"It sounds really good. Teacher Hu has always said that you are a musical genius. I didn't really believe it at first, but at this moment, I really believe it. You are really a genius."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I am a genius? You didn't believe it before."
"If you praise yourself as a genius, ask anyone who will believe it."
Xu Hongdou took a breath, and then said: "Really, this song is really nice. Not only is it nice to listen to, but it also fits the occasion."
"As long as you like it. I originally sang it to you. If you like it, I can sing it to you in the future. Even if it takes a lifetime, I am willing."
"you……"
Xu Hongdou did not avoid Zhou Chen's gaze this time, and his expression became a little more serious.
"Zhou Chen, are you serious about me?"
Zhou Chen said in a serious tone: "Really, Xu Hongdou, I have never joked with you. I just want to pursue you. I want you to be my girlfriend and my wife in the future, and you can spend my life with me."
wife."
"Xu Hongdou, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"
Facing Zhou Chen's bright and expectant eyes, Xu Hongdou didn't speak for a long time. Finally, her expression suddenly became firm.
"I, I do."
Zhou Chen suddenly smiled and hugged Xu Hongdou into his arms excitedly.
"That's great, Hongdou, from today on, you are my girlfriend."
Xu Hongdou also slowly opened his hands and hugged Zhou Chen.
"If you treat me badly in the future, I have the right to break up with you."
Zhou Chen said softly: "You won't have this chance. If you get on my boat, don't even think about getting off again."
Inside the hood, a few eyes were secretly looking through the gaps in the direction of Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou. When they saw them hugging each other, they immediately let out suppressed cheers.
"I knew, I knew, sooner or later they would go further, but I didn't expect it would be tonight." Damai whispered excitedly.
"Don't you think this is very romantic? Under the starry sky, a couple establishes a relationship. If my boyfriend can confess like this in the future, I will definitely agree."
Nana has a longing look on her face. She is also a girl who longs for romantic love.
Hu Youyu praised: "Teacher Zhou is not only talented in music, but his ability to pick up girls is far beyond ordinary people. That song just now was really nice."
Xie Zhiyao's eyes were complicated, but he quickly exhaled. He had a slight affection for Xu Hongdou, but he knew that Xu Hongdou was not interested in him.
When Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou didn't establish a relationship, he still had one ten thousandth of hope, but now, he has no hope at all.
But this actually made him completely let go of his little obsession.
Under the night sky, Xu Hongdou leaned on Zhou Chen's shoulder, and Zhou Chen hugged Xu Hongdou. The two leaned closely together and stared at the stars.
Zhou Chen murmured: "Today is such a good day."
"Yeah." Xu Hongdou responded softly.
Zhou Chen hugged Xu Hongdou like this until she fell asleep, then carried her to the tent where Nana, Damai and the others were.
As for himself, he did not enter the tent, but sat on a chair and meditated quietly.
Silent night!
Xu Hongdou woke up early the next morning and saw several pairs of big eyes staring at her, which scared her so much that she almost couldn't breathe.
After seeing clearly that it was Nana and Damai, she patted her chest with lingering fear.
"What are you doing? You almost scared me to death."
Nana and Damai laughed.
"Hongdou, you guys were so romantic last night."
Xu Hongdou's face turned red: "You all know?"
Both women nodded repeatedly: "I witnessed it with my own eyes, Hongdou, congratulations to you."
What else could Xu Hongdou say? He could only reply awkwardly: "Thank you."
After getting dressed, Xu Hongdou just walked out of the tent when she saw Zhou Chen with a smile on his face. Her face turned red again. Although she promised Zhou Chen last night that she would meet again as soon as possible, her heartbeat was still racing uncontrollably.
Zhou Chen didn't care, he just asked with concern: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Xu Hongdou responded: "Well, I have slept very peacefully until now."
"That's good. We've almost packed up and can go back. If you haven't slept enough, you can still take a nap when you return to the courtyard later."
"good."
The two cars were heading back home again. Xu Hongdou naturally took Zhou Chen's car, along with Nana and Damai. The three girls chatted very lively in the car, and the topic was always about Zhou Chen and Hongdou. Xu Hongdou always took the car.
I was a little embarrassed at first, but soon got used to it and let them joke around.
After returning to Yunmiao Village, they tidied up again, and then those who went to work went to work and those who returned to the small courtyard went back to the small courtyard. Xu Hongdou took Zhou Chen back to his room.
After pushing Zhou Chen down on the sofa, Xu Hongdou ran over and took Chen Nanxing's photo and placed it on the coffee table.
She stretched out her hand, held Zhou Chen's hand generously, crossed her fingers, and looked at Chen Nanxing's photo happily.
"Nannan, I'm in love. Your vision is right. Zhou Chen is a very good man. We are also very destined. We are now boyfriend and girlfriend. I want to tell you here that you must protect us. Listen.
Reached?"
Zhou Chen held Xu Hongdou's hand tightly and said softly to Chen Nanxing's photo: "Chen Nanxing, don't worry, I will be good to Xu Hongdou. I will only treat her well and love her in this life. We will
We will always be of the same mind, grow old together, and never leave."
Hearing this, Xu Hongdou looked at Zhou Chen and showed a knowing smile.
