drink moonlight alone

Yuan Island has been selected into the city's third-tier township development plan for nearly ten years. The gimmicks are loud, but the rhetoric of the politicians is still high-sounding. The facilities are still insufficient over the years. It is just to replace the old ancient streets with new ones. A commercial attraction for tourists to take pictures and check in.

The place where grandma made an appointment with Ms. Song was a century-old tea house on the street. It is the only one among the hundreds of old buildings that have been demolished in recent years. It has been preserved for generations since the ancestors building.The dilapidated wooden door that opens to the outside all the year round for Huiran’s guests is inlaid with paving rings. The black oiled iron rings have long been polished and peeled off the paint, rust, and dust. No one has cleaned it and repainted it. .The three characters "Binling Pavilion" are written on the plaque, which means to welcome the guests. It is not difficult to see from the word Ling that the tea house stands next to the mountain. Against the background of the tile wall, it looks out of place.Xu Shi is scorching hot, the tea house is sparsely populated, the courtyard is empty, the tea house is very elegant and quiet inside and out.Zhou Qingyan grabbed Zhou Weiyue, who was just about to go in, and the latter was staggered by him, turned around, and asked suspiciously: "Brother? Aren't we going in?"

Holding the mobile phone, Zhou Qingyan said in difficulty, "How can you politely refuse me when you see me later?"

"Are you going to reject her?"

"Nonsense." Zhou Qingyan shot Zhou Weiyue an angry look, and tipped his nose at him, "It's just that I can't refuse the grandma's group, but I didn't promise to have sex with a girl I've never met before."

Zhou Weiyue thought seriously for a moment, raised the frame of the mirror, and said, "It's really out of style to take the initiative to refuse a girl."

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Qingyan frowned, "Why don't we slip away."

Zhou Weiyue shook her head, as if she was afraid that he would run away, and grabbed Zhou Qingyan's wrist with her backhand, "You promised grandma."

"...for the sake of my promise to let you come with me." Zhou Qingyan slumped her shoulders, and shook the hand that Zhou Weiyue was holding.

He spoke as thinly as a mosquito, so that Zhou Weiyue only caught the end of the sound when she listened.

"what?"

"Didn't you say that you followed me because you were worried?" Zhou Qingyan blinked slyly, "There must be a way?"

"I've never been on a blind date."

Zhou Qingyan was swallowed by his words, her eyes were wide open and she was speechless, she could only let out a long and dejected breath, and struggled for her wrist, but she didn't break free from Zhou Weiyue's palm.It is certainly not a good choice to gossip outside the door of the tea house where people come and go, Zhou Qingyan can only say noncommittally: "Then we have to take a step and see."

The space in the tea house is not large, and you can walk around it at a glance. The square table is set up with long benches, and the background music is "Chen Xingyuan He Fan", which happens to be played to the saddest vibrato part.Potted white peonies are placed on every window sill, almost transparent against the sunlight.There were not many guests inside, only three tables were seated at more than a dozen tables. One of the two tables in the corner was two elderly men who sat facing the door with thick black beards. He frowned. , concentrating on the chess game on the table, which is obviously stuck in a stalemate; the other one is a young couple, in their early twenties, the boy is playing with the teapot in his hand with great interest, and he doesn’t know what to say. It made the girl in front of her twitch her shoulders and laugh happily.

As for the table closest to the door, a woman was seated with her back to the entrance, and there was nothing but her waist-length, wavy hair—of course.It is obvious that this is Zhou Qingyan's blind date.

"Ms. Song, hello." Zhou Qingyan and Zhou Weiyue walked over one after the other, and when they arrived at the square table, Zhou Qingyan called out.

Song Lingyi raised her head according to the sound, naturally bent her round almond eyes, and smiled warmly: "Hello."

She picked the empty seat opposite Ms. Song and took a seat. The waiter quickly served new tea in a white porcelain teapot depicting the landscape of Jiangnan. She only took a cup at first, but after seeing more guests, she turned around Make up two cups for Zhou Qingyan and Zhou Weiyue.Zhou Qingyan held on to the ears of the pot and poured tea into three teacups. The clear tea flowed out from the dragon's mouth, filling his nose with the rich tea fragrance.

Even if Zhou Qingyan doesn't know much about tea, he can feel that it is a pot of high-quality tea.

"The clerk I ordered casually recommended it. I don't know if you don't like tea?" Miss Song picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly.

Zhou Qingyan shook his head, with a decent smile, replied: "It's okay, I like it."

"You have good taste, you can smell the pot of good tea." Zhou Weiyue interrupted after taking a sip of tea.

Song Lingyi continued to praise calmly, brushed a strand of curly hair that fell on her shoulders behind her ears, changed her sitting position in a leisurely manner, and asked: "Then, I would like to ask you two, who is my blind date today?"

"Me." Zhou Qingyan had just touched the teacup with his fingers, when he was caught off guard and shrank under the table without changing his expression, "This is my younger brother."

"Don't worry about me, just pretend I don't exist." Zhou Weiyue nodded at Song Lingyi.

"You two must have a good relationship, right?" Song Lingyi said after rolling her eyes around the two of them for a while.

Zhou Qingyan asked back: "Why does Miss Song think so?"

"Because my sister also said that she wanted to come on a blind date with me, and that she was afraid that I would be cheated, so I finally stopped her. Otherwise, today is the blind date between the two of you."

"That's it." Zhou Qingyan laughed softly.

"So belated to introduce myself? Song Lingyi, 31 years old, a Virgo born in August, is a middle school teacher by profession." Song Lingyi stretched out her hand, "Tang Seng, who has a dull personality and singleness, but can't beat his parents to recite scriptures."

"Zhou Qingyan, [-], associate professor of the Department of Zoology, Foshi First University."

After shaking hands politely, Zhou Qingyan quickly let go, and Song Lingyi hurriedly answered, "You are also a teacher, what a coincidence!"

Zhou Qingyan opened his mouth, and Ying He's compliment just reached his mouth for a while, before he could utter it, he was interrupted by Zhou Weiyue who had been silent all the time, either replying to the message or playing with the menu on the square table.He lifted the frame of the mirror, and with the impermeable smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth, he interjected, "Then sister must be very good at studying, right?"

At the end, he said "ah" again, and added hastily: "Sorry, I'm used to calling my brother brother. You are older than me, so I call you sister. It shouldn't be rude, right?"

"No way." Song Lingyi waved her hand indifferently.

"Speaking of being a teacher, in fact, the recruitment requirements for primary and secondary schools should focus more on patience than academic qualifications. Especially in a small place like Yuan Island, it is not easy to recruit people. I have only taught for five years. My mother In other words, it’s more than enough than the top.”

Zhou Weiyue propped her head and bent her eyes lazily, "Then sister must like children very much, unlike me, she is not good at learning and has no patience with children."

"You are too well-reputed. May I ask Mr. Zhou's occupation...?"

"veterinary."

The two followed the sound and looked sideways, and the blind date party who hadn't interrupted their conversation just now stared at the floating tea in the teacup with a half-smile, as if the words were blurted out subconsciously, even the party himself hadn't answered yet. Excessive.
