Still from Tan Jiao's perspective
The night is already deep, the ancient city in the distance is still brightly lit. The residential area on the half mountain is extremely quiet. There is a gentle breeze blowing the trees on both sides of the road, and my little orange is slowly opening in my hand.
As I passed by a small restaurant, the car suddenly slowed down. Wu Yu looked up at me. I immediately reacted - this was where the auto repair shop used to be.
No, in the future location. But now, it has not yet opened, Xiao Hua, the owner, and those colleagues who have joked about matching us up, are all still nowhere to be found.
But now even if they meet again, they will feel that they can never be of the same kind.
Because he is still in the clouds now. But I know his heart has been in a place very close to me, in that piece of dark and mysterious dust where we stand together.
The car accelerates and we leave.
Wu had been to my home once before. He was very good at remembering the way and parked his car in the underground parking lot with ease. The two of us took the elevator.
"Did you let Zhang Yu go to Shen Yanzhi's place to get the materials?" he asked.
"No problem," I said. "Those two are the real deal. Although they'll keep forgetting, but look at Zhuang Yu's eyes back then, I'm saying Shen Shiyan is just a obedient little wolf dog type, she was clearly interested, just not admitting it out loud. It's just...” I paused for a moment, recalling our conversation last time when Zhuang Yu insisted on flirting with Shen Shiyan. Why do I feel that every time someone gets hurt, it's always my fish?
Thinking about it, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
"Is this how you writers always describe men?" Wu Ou asked.
I felt a little embarrassed, after all, when I talked to Zhuang Yu privately, we were both quite unscrupulous. I made an "uh" sound.
The elevator door opened and Wu followed behind me, asking "What about me?"
"You?" I took out the key to open the door, "The you of the past... oh no, the you of the future, was also a lovable big wolf dog, but now, it's just a pampered little noble..."
He didn't say a word, but I felt a warmth on the back of my neck, and it was as if Wu Yu had kissed me. His hand also slid to my waist and said, "Say it again?"
I didn't dare say anything and opened the door to avoid his embrace.
The summer night of Dali is very cool and pleasant. After entering the house, I pulled open the living room curtains, on the dark blue night sky, the stars twinkling all over the sky, and the ancient city lights on the ground were shining brightly.
"You sleep in the guest room," I said, "I changed into clean bedding this morning."
Wu Yu didn't say a word, perhaps he was exhausted from running around all day, and leaned against the sofa. The suitcase was just thrown at his feet. I looked at him with heartache, handed him a bottle of mineral water. He slowly opened it and drank, I sat beside him, one of his hands rested on my shoulder, gently stroking.
"The plane is at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." I said, "Let's leave at 6 o'clock and take a taxi?"
"Uh-huh."
"I hesitated for a moment: 'When the time comes, how will you introduce me to your mom and sister?'"
A smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, "What else can I introduce? Future daughter-in-law, sister-in-law."
My heart skipped a beat, but I tried to remain calm and just nodded, saying: "Whatever. It's already late, go take a shower and get some sleep."
"You go first," he said.
I said: "It doesn't matter, I have a bathroom in my bedroom. Clean towels are ready for you."
He didn't know what he was thinking about and didn't say a word.
