The yearning life starts from catching the sea

Chapter 9
After taking the subway and then the bus, it was almost 11 noon when Qin Tian returned to the rented house in Huadu.

One of the interesting things about working in a big city is that you will find that you spend most of your day on the subway, bus and other means of transportation, which is unimaginable for people living in small counties.

Qin Tian's rented house is located in a building in one of the urban villages in Tianhe District, Huadu City. Qin Tian, ​​who was not financially well off at the time, searched the Internet for a long time before he found this rented house.

The rent of 800 yuan a month seems very conscientious, and the rented house of less than 40 square meters not only has an independent bathroom and balcony, but also a small kitchen for tenants to buy and cook by themselves, which undoubtedly makes people choose to rent here Qin Tian saved another sum every month.

Qin Tian took out the key and opened the door. Looking at the temporary home he had decorated with his own hands, he felt touched in his heart. Every item here filled him with memories.

Qin Tian was lying on the bed in a large shape, recalling every night he had spent alone here before, and the black history of secretly watching adult educational films to vent his restless emotions, he couldn't help laughing.

After reminiscing for a while, Qin Tian first called the landlord, Aunt Yang, and told him that he was going to check out, and then he started to organize the things he wanted to take away. Although he didn't live here for a long time, there was still a little Possessions.

Half an hour later, Qin Tian was still packing his things. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. He thought it was Aunt Yang, the landlord, who had come over. He put down his things and walked over to open the door. As a result, a person Qin Tian didn't expect appeared. in front of him.

"Sister! Why are you? Why are you here?" Qin Tian asked in surprise.

Shangguan Wan'er was also surprised, watching Qin Tian stick out her tongue slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Senior, I came to collect the house, I didn't expect that the person renting the house is actually you."

"The landlord, Aunt Yang, is yours?"

A plump and enthusiastic figure suddenly appeared in Qin Tian's mind, and he asked tentatively.

"That's right, that's my mother. She was playing mahjong with her friends, and she couldn't leave. When she saw me coming home, she wanted to order me!"

Shangguan Wan'er rolled her eyes as she spoke, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable with her mother's casual handling of her.

"Wow, it turns out that you are the daughter of the charterer. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Is there any pendant on your leg? What do you think of me?"

Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er didn't hide her little emotions in front of him, Qin Tian couldn't help but make a joke.

Hearing Qin Tian's pretentious words, Shangguan Wan'er covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "Senior, please stop making fun of me. This house belongs to my parents, not me. What does it have to do with me!"

It seems that Shangguan Wan'er is no longer angry, Qin Tian thought happily, and then he didn't continue to joke, because enough is enough to be just right.

"Senior, how did you rent my house?" Shangguan Wan'er asked curiously.

Qin Tian didn't hide anything, first invited Shangguan Wan'er in and sat down on the sofa, and then told her about his experience of finding a job and renting a house after graduation, and he was not stingy with the landlord Aunt Yang, who A compliment to Shangguan Wan'er's mother.

Hearing Qin Tian keep saying that his mother was so good and so good, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes gradually turned into crescent moons.

As the saying goes: Like a mother, like a daughter, if you praise her mother, you are praising her!Shangguan Wan'er simply thought so.

Then, Qin Tian talked to Shangguan Wan'er about retiring the lease, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Wan'er waved his hand generously just as he said the beginning.

"It's okay, although the lease term of the rented house has not yet arrived, senior, don't worry, my mother said that she will return the rest of the deposit to you."

Qin Tian was stunned after hearing this, and silently denied in his heart: I am not, I am not.There are rules in the industry, I never thought about getting the deposit back if I breached the contract first!

How can I say that I am also a millionaire now, how can I bargain for more than 1000 yuan in front of beautiful women!
At this time, Aunt Yang, who was playing mahjong at home, sneezed and muttered, "It must be another eighth woman who is scolding me behind my back."

But she didn't know that it was because her daughter decided to return the deposit to Qin Tian privately.

If she knows this, she will definitely want to educate this prodigal daughter well. If she does this, she will drink the northwest wind!
In fact, Shangguan Wan'er simply felt that she and Qin Tian could be regarded as friends, and that Qin Tian actually left a pretty good impression on her, so naturally she didn't want to make money from him.

Qin Tian didn't reject Shangguan Wan'er's kindness, let alone said that he was not short of the money, and obediently accepted the deposit returned from Weixin.

After collecting the deposit, Qin Tian looked at this kind and charming girl, and couldn't help asking: "Sister, do you have many rented houses?"

Shangguan Wan'er turned her head cutely and thought for a moment.

"It's not too much! Let me think about it. I remember my mother told me that there are four more houses like this one in the village, and there are more than 20 houses and more than ten shops in the city. As for Whether there are others, I don’t know.”

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Tian's clear and clean eyes from the beginning to the end, except for a little depression. She felt happy unconsciously, and her affection for Qin Tian suddenly deepened a lot.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's answer, Qin Tian couldn't help but look down at the building under his feet. There are ten rooms on each floor of the building, a total of ten floors, and four of the same buildings, not to mention the houses and shops in the urban area. .

Hastily!
Qin Tian didn't expect that one day he would ask a beautiful woman to flaunt his wealth in front of him.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he asked curiously: "Junior girl, what exactly does your family do?"

"My dad is the head of the village and the president of the village enterprise development chamber of commerce, and my mother is a housewife and renter."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Wan'er looked at Qin Tian playfully: "Why, check the household registration!"

"No no."

Qin Tian shook his head, "I was just thinking, why didn't I know you back then, otherwise, I would have jumped over to hug your thick thighs earlier!"

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at her long and slender legs, puffed up her face and gave Qin Tian a look.

How can such legs be thick, where will they be big!I don't know how beautiful it is, hum!
Seeing that the beauty was angry, Qin Tian quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, I lived here for a few months before, why haven't I seen you?"

"You must have never seen me!"

Shangguan Wan'er took it for granted, "My family is not here, why should I rent a house if I have nothing to do!"

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've come here to rent a house and deal with things!"

"My mother never asked me to take care of renting an apartment before. I didn't expect that now that I have just entered university, she can't wait to squeeze me."

As she said that, Shangguan Wan'er was a little annoyed, "She also said that she is going to retire, and then gradually entrust me to take care of the family's rented house."

"I don't want it! It's tiring to collect rent!"

"She was too young to be lazy."

"It's hard for me to get out of high school, and I haven't enjoyed the wonderful life of college yet! I must not let her succeed."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Wan'er clenched her fists to cheer herself up.

Qin Tian was a little dumbfounded, it was about the elders, and he couldn't comment casually, so he had an idea, and said, "So, I'm really lucky, I can get your first time."

Seeing Qin Tian's sincere eyes, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly felt an inexplicable sweetness in her heart, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly.

Then her brain suddenly became hot, and she replied uncontrollably: "Senior, this is the second time we have met today."

Unprepared, Qin Tian was teased back by Shangguan Wan'er, feeling that the surprise came too suddenly, then his brain turned sharply, and he seized the opportunity to look at Shangguan Wan'er affectionately and said, "That's right!"

His tone was full of longing, "So I hope that we can meet for the third time, the fourth time, until we can meet every day."

Shangguan Wan'er turned her head in panic, not daring to look at Qin Tian, ​​and then kept asking herself in her heart: "What's going on? My God! Why did you suddenly become like this while chatting?"

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's nervous and shy look, Qin Tian felt a little funny. Where did the courage to fight back just now go?
Looking at the time, it was already 12 noon. Qin Tian broke the awkward atmosphere and asked, "It's already noon and I'm hungry, Wan'er, why don't we go out for dinner together! I treat you, How about it?"

Here, Qin Tian decisively tried to change the address.

Shangguan Wan'er also suppressed the throbbing in her heart at this time, and agreed generously: "Okay! Anyway, I don't know if I have food when I go home. It just so happens that there is a delicious tea restaurant in our village. I'll take you to taste it."

Shangguan Wan'er also didn't call Qin Tian senior again, she got up first and walked out after speaking, Qin Tian followed behind.

The village in the city where they live has a nice name, Huaxi Village.

I heard that it is because there is a small stream meandering out of the mountain in the village, and the villagers often plant peach trees by the stream. During the peach blossom season every year, as the spring breeze blows gently, the pink peach petals are scattered on the ground. On the clear stream, and then downstream to form a beautiful Huaxi.

In addition, the peach blossom produced in the village is an indispensable flower for many people in Huadu during the Spring Festival. It is said that it can make people reap their own love in the new year.

Walking side by side with Shangguan Wan'er on the village road, looking at Yiren who looked like a peach blossom beside him, Qin Tian felt that spring was not far away.

Qin Tian pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Wan'er, I guess you haven't been in a relationship, have you?"

"How do you know I didn't!"

Shangguan Wan'er raised her eyebrows to retort, then lowered her head and muttered: "Isn't it because my mother is strict and afraid that I will be cheated, so I have always been a single dog!"

Then she emphasized, "There are many people who want to chase me, but I have never caught my eye."

It could be seen that the little girl was feeling a little melancholy.Everyone will have a beautiful green age, which girl does not have a spring!

Qin Tian smiled and comforted: "It's okay, don't you have a fancy now!"

"Bah, what a thick skin!"

Shangguan Wan'er gave Qin Tian a blank look, "Let's go! I'm starving to death."

"Roger that!"

Qin Tian quickened his pace, and soon, they arrived at the restaurant that Shangguan Wan'er mentioned.

This restaurant opened on an old commercial street in Huaxi Village. The name of the restaurant is also very characteristic of the times, called Sanshu Tea Restaurant.

Before people approached, he smelled the tempting aroma of food, and Qin Tian began to look forward to it, um, this restaurant should be delicious.

However, when they walked to the door of the restaurant, they realized that there seemed to be no seats, because some customers were already waiting at the door.

Qin Tian asked: "How about we wait a moment?"

"Okay!"

Shangguan Wan'er obediently agreed, and then her eyes that were looking at the shop suddenly lit up, she took Qin Tian's right hand and hurried in, and soon stood by a small dining table where the guests had just left after eating.

She smiled happily, "Got it! Let's sit down!"

You heard me right, in some small restaurants, seats for meals are up for grabs.

Whoever has sharp eyes and sits down first will be the seat.Although this is a bit exaggerated, it does exist.

Qin Tian didn't respond, he was looking down at the soft and boneless little hand in his hand.

Feeling the warm and jade-like touch, Qin Tian suddenly felt an urge to hold this hand for the rest of his life.

Sensing Qin Tian's quietness, Shangguan Wan'er looked back, suddenly let go of his hand like an electric shock, and then quickly sat down on the dining chair, patches of blush appeared on her fair and slender neck, and gradually spread behind her ears root.

Qin Tian also came back to his senses, sat down on the chair with a smile, and looked at the other party tenderly.

The movement of the restaurant waiter clearing the table broke the awkward atmosphere. Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and said fiercely to Qin Tian: "What are you looking at! Still not ordering?"

"You are the landlord, please help me!"

Shangguan Wan'er didn't object, and directly ordered in local dialect with the eldest sister of the restaurant waiter who hadn't had time to leave.

"No, we want a black pepper steak rice, and a chicken steak rice with tomato sauce. Add a poached egg to each, both cooked, and two cups of frozen lemon tea. Thank you!"

"I didn't expect you to speak Cantonese so well!"

Qin Tian could also speak Cantonese, so he naturally understood what Shangguan Wan'er said. When the waitress left, he opened his mouth and kissed a little flattery.

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly put on a serious face, "If you want to say that my Mandarin is very common, just say it, I will not deny it."

Qin Tian was dumbfounded, obviously this flattery hit the horse's hoof.Sometimes, a woman's brain circuit really makes it hard for a man to guard against, and at this time Qin Tian was no exception.

However, he burst out with a sudden desire to survive, and he was very smart not to directly refute that she had misunderstood, but looked at her gently and said, "Wan'er, do you know? My ears were constantly talking to me just now." Protest, it says not only the Cantonese you speak is nice, but also the Mandarin you speak it likes to hear very much.

After a short pause, Qin Tian asked affectionately: "It said that it hopes to hear your voice all the time, can you promise it?"

Shangguan Wan'er chuckled: "I was just kidding you! I'm not that stingy!"

After finishing speaking, her eyes narrowed, and she asked suspiciously: "Be honest, have you been in a lot of relationships?"

"I haven't talked about it. I always wanted to talk about it before, but Yue Lao seemed to have forgotten me on purpose and never arranged for me."

Qin Tian didn't foolishly say that he didn't fall in love because his family conditions were not good.

"No?"

"Not really!"

"Then why are you so proficient in provocative words, just open your mouth!"

Indeed, Qin Tian's performance today not only made Shangguan Wan'er suspicious, but even himself was very surprised.

Could it be that he has always had a talent for picking up girls?It's just that I was suppressed by life before, but now I'm freed?

"If I say, it's because you are the one I want to flirt with, would you believe me?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head subconsciously, then nodded with a smile.

At this time, the food they ordered was brought up by the waitress, and they were placed on the table one after another.

"Well, the rice is here! How about a quick taste?"

Shangguan Wan'er didn't bother with the question just now, but took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Qin Tian, ​​signaling him to try the black pepper steak rice specially ordered for him.

Qin Tian took the chopsticks and thanked him, and looked at the black pepper steak rice in front of him.

A bowl of steaming white rice was placed upside down on a white porcelain round plate, and a half-ripe poached egg covered most of the rice. The fresh and tender egg yolk and the elastic egg white exude an attractive color.

Next to the rice is a palm-sized steak that has been divided. The steak is about to be cooked, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The slightly viscous black pepper sauce will whet your appetite.

There is also a small portion of green vegetables and broccoli dotted on the other side of the rice. The overall appearance is very good, and all kinds of ingredients emit an attractive aroma with the heat.

Qin Tian swallowed quietly, and immediately picked up a piece of steak and ate it.

As soon as you bite into the mouth, the steak splashes delicious gravy in your mouth, mixed with the spicy black pepper, and your heart is filled with satisfaction instantly.

"It's delicious! Try this again!"

As Shangguan Wan'er said, she poked open the poached egg on Qin Tian's plate with chopsticks, let the egg yolk inside flow into the rice, and then motioned Qin Tian to taste the rice.

Qin Tian obediently scooped up the rice mixed with egg yolks with a spoon and put it into his mouth. Then a fresh and sweet taste immediately enveloped his tongue, making the tongue that had just been stimulated by the black pepper juice feel like a massage.

"Well, it's delicious." Qin Tian praised truthfully.

Hearing Qin Tian's admiration, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help being happy, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

After that, they didn't speak, but each ate quietly, and the occasional eye contact made each other feel comfortable.

It seemed that the happy time would pass quickly, not long after, Qin Tian swallowed the last mouthful of rice, and then drank a few sips of sour and authentic frozen lemon tea, a strong sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

At this moment, Qin Tian was eating delicious food and looking at the beauty, he suddenly felt in his heart that the life he once longed for seemed to be slowly approaching him.

Qin Tian, ​​who finished eating first, waited quietly for a while. Soon, Shangguan Wan'er also finished her meal. She picked up the iced lemon tea and nibbled on the straw. A smear of bright red tomato juice stuck to the corner of her mouth stubbornly. He suddenly felt a little hungry after he had just eaten.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing Qin Tian's dazed eyes, Shangguan Wan'er asked a little strangely.

"Wan'er, you are so cute!"

Qin Tian pointed to the corner of his mouth, and then silently handed over the tissue. Shangguan Wan'er blushed in response, and quickly put down the frozen lemon tea in her hand, took the tissue and lowered her head to wipe her mouth.

"Wan'er, shall we go when we are full?"

"Ok!"

Qin Tian got up to buy the bill, and then went back to the rented house with Shangguan Wan'er.

"Wan'er, whoever can marry you will be blessed."

In the rented room, Qin Tian wiped off his sweat and said to Shangguan Wan'er who was mopping the floor.

Shangguan Wan'er wrinkled her cute little nose and replied proudly: "That's right, this girl can go to the hall and go to the kitchen."

She glanced at Qin Tian, ​​"But it's not that easy to marry this girl!"

Qin Tian chuckled and continued to tidy things up, his eyes full of confidence.

"Hey, where do you want to move after the rent is refunded?" Shangguan Wan'er asked while leaning on a mop.

"go home."

"Oh!"

Shangguan Wan'er started mopping the floor again.

"Hey, you dragged my feet!"

"You won't go away!"

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's aggressive tone, Qin Tian suddenly smiled, rolled his eyes, and said, "Wan'er, let me sing a song for you!"

After speaking, he dragged out a guitar from under the bed, and then pulled Shangguan Wan'er to sit on the sofa.

While Qin Tian was wiping his guitar, he thought of the girl singing on the stage that summer.

"You can play the guitar?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Qin Tian in surprise, the more she got in touch with Qin Tian, ​​the more curious she became.

I thought Qin Tian was just a passer-by, but it turned out that he was not only her senior, but also a tenant of her house.

He thought that Qin Tian was the kind of man who studied hard, concentrated on work, and ignored foreign affairs, but now he took out a guitar and said he wanted to sing for her.

What else is this man in front of her waiting for her to discover?She suddenly had some expectations in her heart.

After adjusting the guitar a little, Qin Tian plucked the strings, looked at Keren in front of him tenderly, and said softly: "The scenery about you in this life is for you who meet in the vast sea of ​​people."

As the prelude passed, he began to sing:
The lights in the distance are shining brightly;
You are alone on the road with your head bowed;

The bigger the city, the more frightening it is;

longing for so long;
In Qin Tian's mind, he used to stand alone on the small balcony of the rented house after get off work at night, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in this city.

It is a kind of loneliness that is incompatible with this city, and it is a kind of deep yearning for this city.

I have experienced too many injuries along the way;

Forget the first smile;

Time makes us weak and strong;

Let me sing to you softly again;
The secret love he once held in his heart, the guitar he used to practice secretly, the steamed buns he ate for breakfast for four years, the overtime work he had all night, and the experience of being pointed at his nose and scolded.

He silently carried and endured everything in the past by himself.

The longing for a better life when he was a child was eventually forgotten in his own ordinary day after day and year after year.

Shangguan Wan'er leaned on the sofa, supported her head with her hands, looked at Qin Tian with her autumn eyes, and felt a little distressed, he must have experienced a lot!
Looking at Yi Ren in front of him, Qin Tian felt a little rejoiced that God had not forgotten him, not only gave him a magical system, but also made him meet someone who wanted to be with him for a lifetime, and he continued to sing to Shangguan Wan'er his current song Voice:

I wish I could spend one more time with you;
Tell you the scenery of the first half of my life;

In every silent night I'll think;
Those long love and hate about you;

I also want to be able to illuminate you;
leave sunshine in your life;

Accompany you through the mountains and rivers;
Grow with you!
"Did you think so?"

Listening to Qin Tian singing, Shangguan Wan'er thought silently in her heart, feeling a little complicated for a while, should she believe him?
Although she hasn't been in a relationship yet, she also knows that in real life, love at first sight and love at second sight are still very few after all.

Will they be that very few?She was not sure, she avoided Qin Tian's eyes in a panic.

She was only 18 years old, and a lifetime seemed too long for her. She suddenly woke up from the sweetness of the first encounter, feeling a little heavy in her heart, and what continued to be heard was Qin Tian's more affectionate voice:
I wish I could spend one more time with you;
Tell you the scenery of the first half of my life;

In every silent night I'll think;
Those long love and hate about you;

I also want to be able to illuminate you;
leave sunshine in your life;

Accompany you through the mountains and rivers;
Grow with you!
As the tail notes of the guitar gradually faded away, Qin Tian looked at Shangguan Wan'er's wandering eyes and somewhat tangled expression. He didn't take the opportunity to force her to agree to date him. He just wanted to let her know that he liked her, and that was fine. .

The future is long, and if the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening.

"Here, let me rent you the keys."

Qin Tian locked the door of the rented house, pulled out the key and handed it to Shangguan Wan'er who had been silent all this time.

Shangguan Wan'er took the key and held it tightly, her lips twitched, but she still didn't speak.

"Wan'er, I'm afraid it took all my luck to meet you today, so can you do me a favor?"

"Well, you said."

Qin Tian picked up the potted epiphyllum in his arms, handed it to Shangguan Wan'er and said with a smile: "This is an epiphyllum that I raised before. Now I don't know if I will be lucky enough to make it bloom. You can help me take care of it." It?"

After receiving the potted epiphyllum, Shangguan Wan'er stroked its emerald green leaves, raised her head and agreed, "Okay, I will take good care of it, and I will tell you when it blooms."

"Then I'll trouble you!" Qin Tian put his luggage away, "Let's go!"

"Ok!"

Holding the potted epiphyllum in her arms, Shangguan Wan'er silently followed Qin Tian to the bus station along the way. After a while, the bus arrived.

Qin Tian smiled, waved goodbye to Shangguan Wan'er, turned around and squeezed onto the bus.

Watching the bus go away, Shangguan Wan'er waved her hands and muttered to herself: "Qin Tian, ​​do you know? Actually... I like you too. But I'm a little scared. If we still like each other in the future, then we will be together let's go together"

　You will meet many people in your life, but is she, or him, the one you want to be with for the rest of your life?

　　Friends, please recommend and collect, thank you!
