Revenge is worse than love [Rebirth]

This trip was considered Lin Yan's plan to prepare a birthday surprise for Mu Hang, so the travel plan was still prepared by Lin Yan. Apart from being responsible for packing the luggage of the two of them, Mu Hang didn't interfere with anything else.

This time the destination is an ancient town in the north, Xiashao Ancient Town.When Lin Yan was at school, she heard Feng Yi from the north mention it a few times, so she decided to go there with Mu Hang.

Flying directly from G City to Tian'an Airport, which belongs to Xiashao Ancient Town, after getting off the plane, the owner of the inn that Lin Yan booked was already waiting at the gate of the airport.

The young boss didn't look very old, and his appearance was considered outstanding. When he smiled, he showed two dimples, and he seemed to be easy to get along with.Lin Yan chose this one among the countless inns in the ancient town because she read the previous reviews. It is recognized that the location of this inn is good, close to the main street, the surrounding environment is good, and it is very clean. The owner of the inn is polite and enthusiastic.

The car drove all the way to the gate of the ancient town, the little boss found a place to stop the car, and smiled at Lin Yan: "The roads in the ancient town are narrow and crowded, and I usually don't drive in. It's already a long way from the north gate to the inn." It’s getting closer, so I’ll take the two of you for a stroll.”

Lin Yan and Mu Hang naturally had no objections, so the little boss took their suitcases from the trunk, pulled them behind them and led the way.

Like several other well-known ancient towns in China, Xiashao Ancient Town is heavily commercialized.However, when he walked into the north gate and stepped on the bluestone bricks, Lin Yan still felt the vicissitudes of the years revealed by this ancient town, and he began to look forward to this trip.

He and Mu Hang wore the same style of casual jackets, even the hats on their heads were of the same style and different colors, and they were holding hands, for fear that others would not know the different relationship between the two of them.The little boss just took a look at the two people's tightly holding hands, and then led the way with his usual expression.

Lin Yan raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help feeling that, after all, it was a tourist attraction, the people here might have received all kinds of strange tourists, and there was probably nothing strange about them.

As the little boss said, the inn is very close to the north gate, and it only took them 2 minutes to pass through various stalls and tourists.

The scale of the inn is not small, occupying half of the alley. The four characters of "Lesong Inn" are hung on the deliberately old gate, and two red lanterns are hung on one left and one right, swaying with the wind.

The boss took out a key from the independent house near the gate, handed it to Lin Yan, pointed back to the house and said, "I'm usually here, if you have anything to say, just ask. There are vending machines in the yard. Cargo plane, walking all the way from the alley is the main street of the ancient town. In the room, there is a guidebook of the ancient town that I made when I was free. All kinds of delicious and interesting things are marked on it. If you are interested, you can look through it. In addition , if you want to buy some special products to take back as souvenirs, you can just tell me, the locals will always save you some trouble by taking you there."

This boss can be said to be extraordinarily warm and thoughtful.Lin Yan thanked her, took the key, and entered the room facing the door with Mu Hang.

This is a suite, probably to reflect the characteristics of the ancient town. The decoration in the room is extremely simple, but it is indeed well-equipped, giving people a very warm feeling.

Lin Yan saw the strategy book that the boss said on the bedside table. He flipped through it casually, and couldn't help looking up at Mu Hang, who was opening the suitcase and hanging clothes in the closet, and said, "Boss, it's really very good. Be careful."

Mu Hang nodded in agreement, glanced across the room, and continued, "I don't think he's too old, but he's quite capable of keeping such a large inn in order."

Lin Yan took it for granted, and continued to read the ancient town strategy written by the capable boss himself.

This guide involves eating, drinking and having fun in the ancient town. It is extremely detailed in every aspect. Fortunately, Lin Yan has a strong generalization ability, so after reading the whole guide, he combined his original plan and revised it a bit.

The two tidied up a bit, rested in the room for a while, and after talking, they went out slowly, intending to go for a stroll in the town and eat something along the way.

Pushing open the door, Lin Yan saw that the little boss was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, with a big golden retriever lying on his knees, staring at the pet snacks in his hand, drooling all over the floor.

Lin Yan couldn't help laughing, and Mu Hang who was following behind him also smiled when he saw this scene, and said casually: "Boss, this is your dog? It looks cute, what's it called? "

"Bear Dan." The boss finally threw out the last snack in his hand, and the dog named Bear Dan jumped up immediately, and swallowed the snack at a speed that the three of them could barely react, and then became happy Flicking his tail, he walked unsteadily in front of Lin Yan, lowered his head and sniffed his shoes, then tilted his head.

Lin Yan glanced at the little boss, and the little boss said: "It's okay, let's touch it, Xiongdan is good, this is also a special service of our inn, it's okay to pet the dog. Relying on it, I will It has attracted a lot of repeat customers.”

Lin Yan laughed, and reached out to touch Xiong Dan's golden hair. Xiong Dan moved and rubbed its big head against Lin Yan's hands.Lin Yan couldn't help being a little moved. He had never had the opportunity to get in touch with such pets before. He only thought it was troublesome and a waste of time to keep them. But now looking at this obedient big dog in front of him, he really felt that maybe he was with him. Adding another life to Mu Hang's life may also add a lot of unexpected fun.

The two of them squatted at the door of the room and played with the dog named Xiong Dan for a long time. As the sky gradually darkened, Mu Hang finally had to interrupt Lin Yan: "Let's go out and have dinner first. Live here for many days, there are still many opportunities to get along with each other."

Lin Yan just got up, greeted the little boss, and went out.

The night in the ancient town is still very lively, especially on the main street, where the lights are brightly lit. Tourists who have had dinner wander in the street in twos and threes. The small shops along the street are next to each other, displaying various local specialties, or It is a souvenir of travel, which attracts tourists to stop.

The two of them seldom have time to hang out like this on weekdays, so it feels extra novel at this time.Lin Yan bought two stone bracelets engraved with the two people's surnames at a small stall, hung the one engraved with the word "Lin" on Mu Hang's hand, and put the word "Mu" on her wrist , two hands clasped together, the two stones collided inadvertently, making a slight sound.

For dinner, I randomly chose a small shop from the store recommended by the boss on the guide, and ordered a few unnamed local specialties. The taste was really good, which deepened Lin Yan's trust in the guide.

After eating and drinking enough, the two of them strolled along the commercial street, bought a bunch of useful and useless souvenirs, and then held hands and wandered back to the inn.

The lantern at the entrance of the inn was already lit. When the door of the inn was opened, both of them paused. The two people who were kissing in the yard obviously didn't expect someone to come back at this time, and they were obviously taken aback.

Only then did Lin Yan understand why the little boss was so indifferent to his relationship with Mu Hang during the day, because the one who was kissing him was also a man.The four of them fell into a short silence, and it was the little boss' boyfriend who came back to his senses first, and smiled at the two people who were still standing at the door: "Are you back? Did you play well?"

Mu Hang also smiled: "Well, I should thank the boss for the strategy."

The four stood in the yard and exchanged casual greetings before Lin Yan and Mu Hang returned to their room.

After taking a hot shower to wash away the fatigue from the journey, Lin Yan leaned on Mu Hang's shoulder and casually said, "After wandering around today, my impression of this ancient town has improved a lot. In fact, I opened a restaurant here. It’s a small shop that does business when there are tourists, and closes the door to sleep when there are no tourists, so it’s very comfortable.”

Mu Hang laughed: "Everyone's life pursuits are different, and the life that meets your own needs is actually the most suitable life."

Lin Yan tilted her head and thought for a while: "If we go back, why don't we raise a dog too?"

Mu Hang stretched out his hand and touched his face: "I see that you really like that golden retriever, or you can raise a golden retriever when you go back."

"Okay." Lin Yan blinked, "This way we can walk the dog together every day."

Lin Yan leaned on Mu Hang's shoulder and continued talking intermittently, sleepiness gradually came over him, he slowly closed his eyes, and had another good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Lin Yan, who was angry for getting up, woke up very early. He opened his eyes from Mu Hang's arms, and saw the man's delicate side face. He couldn't help leaning over and bit his chin After a while, he said lazily in Mu Hang's ear, "Good morning, Professor Mu."

Mu Hang opened his eyes and took a look at him, then hugged him into his arms again, then regained consciousness a little bit, and asked in a sleepy voice, "Why did you wake up so early today?"

"Because I want to climb the city wall while there are few tourists in the morning." Lin Yan reached out and took the strategy book from the bedside, and shook it in front of Mu Hang, who couldn't help laughing at his full of interest. Get up and kiss him on the forehead: "Okay, get up."

It is said that the earliest construction time of Xiashao ancient city wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The saying that the early bird catches the worm is true. The morning sun shines gently on the two of them, and there are only a few tourists in twos and threes on the ancient city wall, which looks extraordinarily clean.

The two went up from the north gate and stood on the tower, facing the commercial street in the center of the ancient city, taking in the scenery of the entire ancient city.Holding hands, the two walked in a random direction along the old bluestone bricks.

At this time, there were not many tourists on the city wall. When the two of them reached the turret in the northwest corner, there were no tourists around.Lin Yan looked around and paused.

"Mu Hang." He gently called out the other party's name, and there was a rare tension in his voice.

Mu Hang stood opposite him, his face was calm, his eyes were as deep as water, he raised the corners of his lips: "Huh?"

"Happy birthday." Lin Yan said softly.He took out his right hand that had been in his pocket all the time, and in the middle of his palm was an exquisitely crafted jewelry box, inside which were two shining rings.Lin Yan bit her lower lip and glanced at Mu Hang, then suddenly knelt down in front of him, "This is your No.30 second birthday, I have already missed 31 years of your life, I want to ask you, In the next few decades, can you let me accompany you all the way?"

Mu Hang stretched out his hand and pulled his boy up, with a gentle smile in his eyes, he took out a ring from the jewelry box and put it on Lin Yan's ring finger, then shook his finger and said softly: " Yanyan, you were the one who confessed your love back then, so can't you leave the chance to propose to me?"

Lin Yan stared at the ring on his finger for a while, with a shy smile on his lips, he took off the other ring, carefully put it on Mu Hang's finger, and then lightly touched it Kissed gently, "Probably because I'm more anxious."

The two people clasped their fingers tightly and walked along the ancient city wall hand in hand.

That night, Lu Guangrun, who was far away in City G, received a WeChat message from his long-time friend Lin Yan. It showed a photo of two intertwined hands, and the ring of the same style on it was extraordinarily dazzling.

Lu Guangrun locked the screen of his phone, reached out and opened the drawer of the bedside table, found an old photo from it, stared at it for a while, took out his phone, booked a plane ticket to the other side of the ocean, and then turned it off. Turning on the light, he closed his eyes contentedly.

The years are long, and their lives are still going on.
