Sea of ​​people retrograde

When Lu Mang replied to Zhuang Shiling's WeChat, Zhuang Shiling had already woken up. She checked the messages on her phone but there was no reply.

I got up and changed into sportswear. There is a hill next to the pool gate, and there is a temple with rich incense on the top of the hill. There is a road in the north for pilgrims to drive up. In the south, near the pool gate, there is a stone step road for pedestrians to climb. There is also a cable car at the foot of the mountain that leads to the top of the mountain.

Because the mountain is neither big nor high, there are not many people climbing the mountain. Shang Xia wanted to fight for one last time, so he asked Zhuang Shiling to climb the mountain together.

Although the mountain is small, the slope is steeper than the big ones. Zhuang Shiling looks very thin, but his physical strength is very good. He climbed for 10 minutes without panting, while Shang Xia was already a little out of breath.

"How long is it?" Shang Xia squinted his eyes and looked towards the top of the mountain. He shouldn't have overestimated his physical strength, it would be embarrassing to be inferior to a girl.

Shiling often climbs this mountain village. There is an octagonal pavilion for pedestrians to rest at one-third of the climb, and there is a drinking water point at two-thirds of the height. I haven’t even climbed the pavilion yet, but it’s not far away. Yes, Zhuang Shiling encouraged.

"It's very fast, it's already climbed one-third of the way now."

These words didn't bring much energy to Shang Xia, even the remaining breath was exhausted, he clenched his fists and took a deep breath, and continued to climb up.

"You don't have to climb so fast, you can take a look at the scenery on the mountain."

Zhuang Shiling pointed to the tree next to the steps, with unknown flowers blooming, if Lu Mang was here, he would know its name, Zhuang Shiling's heart skipped a beat.

Shang Xia was panting heavily, he was not crawling fast at all, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, he had to support his knees with his palms to move forward, his throat was burning like fire, he heard Zhuang Shiling say that he would arrive soon When it was time to drink, he could only speed up a little.

The drinking water point is a platform that expands outwards. Zhuang Shiling can have a panoramic view of the entire Longzhong Town by holding on to the railing. Shang Xia fetches water to wash her face behind her, and finally she is not so embarrassed.

After a short rest, the last third of the climb felt much faster. The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, and after blowing off the heat on the body, it was a little cold. Zhuang Shiling took off the coat tied around his waist and put it on. Shang Xia was at this time Only then did she have the strength to observe her. Zhuang Shiling has a good figure, 1.7 meters tall, with a big frame and less flesh, but she looks very slim.

"Are you impressed by the deputy chief physician I introduced to you that day?"

After Zhuang Shiling took Shang Xia to finish the stretching exercise, she put her hands on the stone railing carved with lions and turned her head to ask Shang Xia.

It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. In fact, Shang Xia is very realistic. Although he likes Zhuang Shiling, if there is a person who meets his criteria for choosing a spouse in all aspects, then he may not choose Zhuang Shiling.

To be honest, when Zhuang Shiling said that he would introduce Lu Mang to him, he felt that it was Zhuang Shiling's insult to her on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was really moved.

"So, in fact, you don't really need me, do you?" Seeing that Shang Xia didn't speak, Zhuang Shiling continued on her own, "We're not suitable, as you know, my family situation is not good."

"I can accept it." Shang Xia thought that Zhuang Shiling was just inferior, and if she was the one he chose, he would be willing to tolerate her.

Zhuang Shiling stopped him with gestures, "I already have a partner, I'm with the person I like."

Shang Xia didn't react when he heard Zhuang Shiling's words, he took a step back, and smiled embarrassingly after a while.

"So that's the case, then I..." He spread his hands out of embarrassment, and let go of Zhuang Shiling's eyes, "Then we can still be friends."

"of course can."

Zhuang Shiling and Shang Xia chatted a lot, and the conversation became much more relaxed and pleasant. The way down the mountain was not as difficult as the uphill, but after the muscles were tense, their legs trembled a little when they went down.

"By the way, last time I told you about the doctor I wanted to introduce," Zhuang Shiling said with some embarrassment, "I was joking with you, she also has a date."

Although this sentence is redundant, Zhuang Shiling must say it, she just wants Shang Xia to recognize her heart, no matter whether he takes it seriously or not, she can't get Lu Mang into it.

Shang Xia stopped walking and smiled, Zhuang Shiling raised her face to look at him, it was the first time she looked at a man so carefully, Shang Xia was a head taller than her, he was handsome and handsome, he must have a lot of admirers.

"Shi Ling, I really regret that I didn't need to think too much at the age of college. I really like you, but now that you are already with the person you like, I am very satisfied that you can express your heart .In the future, I will never miss you in my heart again, and I will live my own life well."

Shang Xia's words are very sincere. He has always pretended to be Zhuang Shiling in his heart all these years, so he subconsciously always compares his blind date with her. It's just that he didn't realize it himself. You can rest assured, if these words could be said earlier, if Zhuang Shiling was by his side when he needed protection the most, maybe he wouldn't regret it now.

The two walked slowly to Zhuang Shiling's residence together. Zhuang Shiling saw a familiar figure standing downstairs. She stretched her shoulders. She knew that this was a tough battle that would always be fought.

"Shi Ling, I raised you up so much, and you are so amazing!"

Zhuang Jianmin took the earliest bus to look for Zhuang Shiling, but no one answered when he knocked on the door. He didn't know if he didn't open the door on purpose or he was not at home, so he had to go downstairs and kept shouting. After being scolded several times, he continued to shout until he saw Zhuang Shiling and A man came by.

And what he said was that Zhuang Shiling stopped handing in his salary when he was 30 years old.

"Even if you raised me, my wages over the past few years are enough to pay you back. You don't need to waste time looking for me, and I won't give you any more money."

Zhuang Jianmin looked at Shang Xia with a sneer, "Okay, let's find someone to be so stubborn."

"I'll tell you boy, if you want to marry my daughter, you don't have to pay less than 20 a penny."

Zhuang Shiling waved away Zhuang Jianmin and pointed at Shang Xia's hand, "Are you worthy of my mother? Are you worthy of being my father?"

"In legal terms, I'm your father, do you understand, son, your Aunt Qian introduced you to someone, and you come back with me to meet him now." Zhuang Jianmin grabbed Zhuang Shiling's hand and pulled towards the station.

After all, Zhuang Shiling was a girl, and her strength was no match for a middle-aged man. Shang Xia quickly stopped Zhuang Jianmin when the three of them were pushing and shoving, Lu Mang braked and stopped on the side of the road.

She got out of the car and saw the familiar scene, and it was Zhuang Jianmin who was flirting with Zhuang Shiling downstairs again, but now there was an extra Shang Xia, she glanced at Shang Xia coldly, Shang Xia didn't notice Lu Mang's eyes, but Zhuang Shiling had been thinking about how he died for a while, and was tired of this chaotic Zhuang Jianmin insisting on coming to make trouble at this time.

"Uncle Zhuang." Lu Mang went up to say hello.

"You are?" Zhuang Jianmin didn't know what to say when he saw Lu Mang addressing him so politely. He seemed to be the same girl he saw last time. He still talked to him with a fierce face at that time. Why did he suddenly change now? No matter what she wanted to say, he would take Zhuang Shiling back today.

"My grandfather is in the same town as you, and his name is Lu Youying." Lu Mang smiled at Zhuang Jianmin, and with all his strength, he separated Zhuang Shiling's hand, protecting Zhuang Shiling behind his back.

"Oh, so you are his granddaughter." The Lu family was kind to most of the people in the town in the era when clinics were not yet widespread. At this time, Lu Mang reported Lu Youying's name, and he should give some face, otherwise It's not easy to be a human being if you send it back to the village and your own family.

"I'm just looking for something about my daughter today." He pointed to Zhuang Shiling behind Lu Mang.

"I have nothing to say to you." Zhuang Shiling returned indifferently.

"Uncle, it's not convenient for you to talk about things on this street. My car is just here. How about I send you back to Lingnan Town and talk slowly?" Lu Mang planned to take them back to her grandfather's house and let her Grandpa came forward to settle this matter. When she was a child, she often saw her grandfather mediating among the folks.

Zhuang Jianmin looked at Lu Mang and knew that her family was not someone to mess with, so he had to forget it for now, and come back in a few days, she could never be by Zhuang Shiling's side all the time.

"No, I still have some things to do when I come to the city. I'll call her later and discuss the matter with Shi Ling." Zhuang Jianmin cursed inwardly, and walked away with a smile on his face.

Seeing that he was fine for the time being, Lu Mang turned to look at Zhuang Shiling, now it's time to settle the matter between the three of them.

"Since it's all right, I'll go first." Shang Xia originally wanted to send Zhuang Shiling home, but he didn't expect the scene just now to happen.

"What happened just now made you laugh, so be careful on the road." Zhuang Shiling said to Shang Xia embarrassedly.

After watching Shang Xia leave, Lu Mang shook off Zhuang Shiling's hand and walked to the car, Zhuang Shiling quickly grabbed her hand again.

"Lumang Lumang, listen to my explanation."

Lu Mang stopped, "Aren't you going upstairs to explain?"

"Go upstairs, then you are..." Zhuang Shiling looked at Lu Mang and asked in bewilderment.

"I have to park the car well. Last time I parked blindly without a parking space and got a [-] fine."

Zhuang Shiling heard that Lu Mang's tone didn't seem to be very angry, so she went upstairs nervously all the way, just after entering the door, Lu Mang closed the door with a "bang", which made Zhuang Shiling shiver in fright.

"I just made it clear to Shang Xia today, we won't meet again and we won't have any interaction." Zhuang Shiling raised his right hand and made an oath gesture.

Lu Mang looked at Zhuang Shiling dubiously, and through Zhuang Shiling's eyes, he saw something extra on the head of the bed.

"what is this?"

Lu Mang said in surprise, and walked quickly to the boxy box next to the bed.

"Projector, didn't you say that the TV is too small, I paid my salary to buy a projector."

Lu Mang likes watching movies, but watching movies at Zhuang Shiling's house is very inconvenient for two people to sit in front of the computer, so Zhuang Shiling bought a portable projector after getting the first salary he could control, and it cost a lot of money. After half a day, he moved the long-legged TV cabinet and the TV on it to another place, leaving a blank wall.

"Zhuang Shiling!" Lu Mang hugged her gently, "Can't you be nice to yourself when you have money? Why buy these useless things."

Although Lu Mang blamed Zhuang Shiling for spending money messily, his heart was full of emotion. Zhuang Shiling's love was considerate. Lu Mang was not used to soap. He would lose the soap four or five times after taking a bath at Zhuang Shiling's house. Shower gel and bath balls appeared in the bathroom one day.

After Zhuang Shiling went to take a shower, Lu Mang looked around in the room. She touched the sheets with her fingertips. It turned out that the sheets Zhuang Shiling bought were not sanded, but fluffed from repeated washing for too many years.

The clothes were neatly hung in the closet, most of them were shirts, a black cotton jacket and the brown corduroy jacket she was wearing when I first saw her, and a few short-sleeved T-shirts were stacked underneath, some of which were whitish The jeans, a pair of black slacks, the sports suit she just replaced and the pajamas she is wearing now are all her belongings.

Looking at this small rental house, Lu Mang felt sorry for Zhuang Shiling who was going to make a living as soon as she graduated, and made up her mind to make her happy in the future.
