thinking far away

Si lay on Qi Yuan's lap reading a book, and chatted with him casually.Qi Yuan watched the financial news on TV, and ran down Lu Si's hair with one hand. His movements were very light and gentle, and the stroking of the hair brought a trembling feeling, and a tingling electric current ran from the scalp to the tailbone.

Lu Si couldn't help hiding: "Qi Yuan, are you busy recently?"

"If you want to talk to several large companies about investment, if you want to develop, it is still necessary to rely on listed companies to drive it."

Lu Si turned around, wrapped his arms around Qi Yuan's waist, stared at the buttons on his chest, and said, "How much money do you want to make?"

Qi Yuan pinched his face and said with a smile: "It is enough for you to have enough food and clothing, and not to worry about trivial matters in life."

"But I don't need a lot of money. It's enough for you to be with me. With you here, I don't need anything."

"But I don't want to make you suffer any more."

Lu Si shook his head and raised his hand to touch Qi Yuan's face, tracing his delicate outline with his fingertips, and said softly: "You know, what I said that day was actually all angry words, and I don't blame you for those things at all. I'm just angry, Why did you come back to me after so many years?"

Qi Yuan's hands trembled, and he grabbed Lu Si's hand that was placed beside his face.Lu Si continued: "After my mother left, I realized that life is actually so short. How many decades can I wait for you? What if I leave before I can wait for you? Waiting for you Nothing, I'm sad that we wasted so much time."

"Baby, our life is still long..."

Lu Si smiled: "Qi Yuan."

"Ok?"

"Let's go to the temple where you gave me the amulet you asked for some other day. I want to go with you."

"it is good."

Chapter 20

The two chatted for a while about what they had encountered in the past few years of living alone, and soon it was late at night, Lu Si covered her mouth and yawned, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.Qi Yuan bowed his head and kissed him: "Are you sleepy, go back to your room and sleep?"

"Yeah." Lu Si put his arms around Qi Yuan's neck, "You hug me."

Lu Si fouled him too much for his unguarded and coquettish appearance, and Qi Yuan's heart almost melted.She rushed forward and kissed him again and again, until Lu Si protested and pushed him, then carried him back to the room.

Within a few days, Qi Yuan drove Lu Si to the temple. The temple is located near the suburbs of S city.There are scattered food stalls and cheap antiques on both sides of the street. Walking along the street, there is an inconspicuous stone gate. Qi Yuan leads Lu Si into the stone gate, and the whole picture of the temple is revealed in front of him.

There is a huge plaque hanging in front of the main hall, with the three characters "Lingyun Temple" written on it.The full name of the temple is "Yunfeng Temple". There is a main hall and four side halls. An artificial lake and a rockery garden are also built inside the Yunfeng Temple. The whole temple is antique and gives people a shocking and solemn feeling.

There are also a few young monks in monk clothes doing sweeping in the temple. Passing through the moon gate, there is a cobblestone path. There are two thick trees on both sides of the road. The trees are covered with red wishing belts. The branches are intertwined above to form a natural shade.

Lu Si leaned over to look at the wooden sign introduced. These two trees are called Marriage Trees and they are inseparable.According to legend, a couple of lovers eloped here in ancient times, but in the end the man died, and the woman also died in love, and grew into two trees tightly entangled together.Go around the tree three times and your wish will come true.

Qi Yuan looked at the wishing belt on the tree and raised his eyebrows, "The story is too old-fashioned."

"But these two trees are indeed very old." Lu Si squeezed Qi Yuan's hand, "Walk around the tree three times, and your wish will come true. Let's go around three times."

Qi Yuan had a complicated expression, and said, "How old are you?"

"Didn't you say it's very clever? What's wrong with going around three times? It won't lose a piece of meat."

"Are you serious?"

"of course."

Lu Si took Qi Yuan's hand and walked around the two trees three times seriously.Qi Yuan looked at Lu Si's serious side face from behind and wanted to laugh, but suddenly realized that this is a marriage tree, and the so-called wish that can be fulfilled is nothing more than two people can last forever.Thinking of this, Qi Yuan couldn't laugh anymore, this person in front of him really wanted to be with him.

The two went to the side hall to ask for amulets again. An old man with a beard and a long robe sat in it. Lu Si handed the little wooden fish to the old man and asked, "Look at this amulet, there is another one like this here." Is it?"

The old man twirled his beard, shook his head and said slowly, "This is not a talisman."

Lu Si blinked, turned his head to look at Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan touched his nose in embarrassment and turned to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, Lu Si lay down in front of the glass cabinet and asked: "Then can you tell me this What is it for?"

"This is made of red thread. What is the red thread for? Tie people up."

"Tie people?"

"Yuelao will tie the couples in the world with a red thread to prove that they are a match made in heaven. Boy, this is not a talisman, but a thread of marriage. The tighter the thread is, the more it can prove two people Feelings."

Lu Si glanced at the person who pretended not to know anything, and said, "Then what should we do now that the line is open?"

The old man smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, you cherish it very much, Yuelao will feel it in the sky."

On the way back, Lu Si sat in the co-pilot and glanced at Qi Yuan from time to time, and Qi Yuan blushed, "Hey, what are you always looking at?"

Lu Si said with a smile: "Look at the people who have a crooked mind since childhood."

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, put one hand on the steering wheel and pinched his face with the other, "I'm not all because of you."

Lu Si pulled his hand and held it, watching Qi Yuan's slender fingers poke his fingertips, "Why do you like me?"

Qi Yuan turned his wrist and interlocked Lu Si's fingers, and said with a smile: "Why can't I like you?"

"There must be an opportunity, right?"

"Because that's you..."

Lu Si stared blankly at the smile on Qi Yuan's eyes and lips: "What?"

"Because it was you at that time, I like you so much."

When he was a teenager, Qi Yuan formed a ball like a hedgehog to protect himself, and adopted an aggressive attitude towards the outside world. He was obviously soft but extremely lonely inside.The appearance of Lu Si is like a ray of light illuminating Qi Yuan's gloomy world, not strong but soft and warm.

They appeared in each other's loneliest and saddest days, and they kept running in and getting familiar with each other. It was because of each other that their world was a little different, a little bit of each other, and when they looked back, they suddenly realized that their eyes and hearts were full. this person.They knew their respective pains, and supported them through the tender and bright years when they had nothing.

In his opinion, Lu Si is the best person, and no one else is as good as him.

I like every day a little more than the day before, even in the days of separation, I can't forget the warmest memories that person once gave me.

Perhaps the fate of another person would be completely different, but they are the only ones for each other and irreplaceable.It was because of him that she was so happy.

Qi Yuan is greedy for the feelings that Lu Si gave him, once he grasped it, he would never let go.

Chapter 21

Qi Yuan cooked the dinner, Lu Si leaned against the door frame of the kitchen and watched Qi Yuan's smooth movements, cutting the scallions into even filaments. "When did you learn it?"

Qi Yuan kept moving his hands, without raising his head, he said: "When you are abroad, you will be able to. If you don't have money to eat takeaway, you can't starve yourself to death."

Lu Si frowned: "No money? You don't seem to have told me how you lived abroad."

Qi Yuan paused, smiled at Lu Si, and said ambiguously: "There is nothing to say, anyway, I have enough money to support you now, so you don't have to worry about it, just warm my bed at home."

Lu Si blushed and snorted coldly.

Naturally, life is not good. In the most difficult days, I can only rent the basement of the old building, eat one meal a day, and eat cold and hard bread mixed with the cold and damp musty smell.But it didn't last long after all, he is a top student, and he has the ability to make himself live a better life.He didn't want to tell Lu Si about the hardships, adding unnecessary worries to him.

Soon the food was on the table, glutinous rice ribs, steamed pork, stir-fried cabbage, and soft rotten fish stewed in a small casserole. The fish soup turned milky white, mixed with spices and tender tofu bubbling.

Lu Si sniffed: "It smells so good." Qi Yuan put in a lot of effort to turn home-cooked dishes into works of art.Thinking back to the first three years when Qi Yuan wanted to eat a meal and almost burned his own kitchen, and went to find him and pretended not to care, Lu Si grinned.

Qi Yuan took Lu Si's hand and turned on the faucet to wash his hands. He heard him squeeze his fingers with a smile, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Si shook his head: "It's nothing, I just remembered the time when you didn't work hard and didn't know the grains."

Taking a towel from the side shelf to wipe off the water on Lu Si's hands, Qi Yuan said helplessly, "Why don't you see how good I am now?"

Lu Si didn't speak, but looked at the fish in the casserole anxiously, and said, "I want to drink soup, is it ready soon?"

Qi Yuan used a spoon to scoop up a spoon to taste the taste, then turned off the fire and waved to Lu Si, who walked up to him.Qi Yuan fed him a little, then carefully stared at Lu Si's expression, writing "please praise", Lu Si couldn't help but reached out and touched Qi Yuan's head, "It's delicious, it's really good."

Qi Yuan's tone of coaxing the child was enough to make Qi Yuan happy. He filled a bowl of soup and put it on the dining table, "There's still a lot, eat quickly."

Lu Si took a piece of food with his chopsticks, and joked, "Why don't you cook from now on?"

I never thought that Qi Yuan would seriously answer him: "Okay, if you are willing, you don't have to worry about anything in the future, and you can just rest honestly. I can take care of both outsiders and insiders, and confess you. What do you think? "

Lu Si didn't know how to respond to his confession.
