love like drunk

Chapter 5 Cakes and Wild Fruits

"Brother Yun Yan, what you did this time is too successful!"

Stepping down the last flight of stairs, a healthy male voice fell on my ears. It was the young man I met at the hotel on the first day. Gu Wenxi remembered the person quite accurately.

"Mr. Gu?" Du Yunyan moved his eyes to the stairs, "Would you like to taste the freshly made cake?"

His eyebrows were stretched, his face was full of vigor, and his voice sounded a little higher.Gu Wenxi could feel that he was in a happy mood, at least different from his indifferent appearance yesterday.

That boy... seems to be called "Yunhan"?Gu Wenxi glanced at him, they were probably talking about making cakes just now.

"Mr. Gu?"

"Okay," he walked up to the two people, "that's troublesome."

The cakes are in the shape of delicate flowers, and each one is only the size of a small teacup. It looks like it is made of a uniform mold. It may not take long to bake, and each one is steaming hot.

Du Yunyan made black tea as a drink to go with the cake, but he and the boy named "Yunhan" did not sit down to enjoy it together, but walked behind the bar to chat.

"Will we still plant tea trees next year?"

"I...maybe have other plans."

……

The restaurant is not big, and their words floated intermittently, revolving around the life and harvest in the village.Although Gu Wenxi was a little interested, she was not from here after all, so it was inevitable that she could hear it in a cloud; after a few minutes, the conversation completely became an unknown background sound.

"Brother Yun Yan, I'm going back first!"

When Yun Han left, he carried some pomegranates and cakes.Du Yunyan sent him outside, then turned back into the house and rang the wind chime on the door.

"Does the cake taste good?" He seemed in a really good mood, and even took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Gu Wenxi.

"Well, you did it yourself?"

"Yeah." Du Yunyan's cheeks were slightly flushed, "Yunhan is better at making pastry than I am."

"Where did you buy the molds from?" There is a town near Pingliang Village, but Gu Wenxi doesn't think such unique molds can be bought in the town.

"Of course I bought it online."

"Online?" Gu Wenxi asked without thinking, "Will you buy things online?"

Du Yunyan could roughly guess what he was thinking, but he didn't care much: "There are convenient means, why not use them?"

"Where are you going?" Gu Wenxi subconsciously asked when he saw that he was about to go out within 2 minutes after coming in.

"Wipe my car," Du Yunyan opened the glass door with one hand, "You can do whatever you want."

He seems to have a good thing, and he has a spring-like expression all morning, which may not be obvious to others, but the slight changes in Du Yunyan's ice sculpture-like face can be easily noticed.

If you want to talk about a special place, it means someone came early in the morning.

Gu Wenxi mopped her right hand and looked out the window. Du Yunyan was scrubbing the motorcycle in the front yard, and two dogs, one yellow and one black, lay lazily behind him.

Gu Wenxi thought that Du Yunyan had a car, otherwise how could he change the tire for herself?However, only his own SUV was parked in his yard, and no other vehicles were seen, and Du Yunyan seemed to have only this two-seater motorcycle as his means of transportation.

Thinking wildly, the plate in front of him was completely empty, leaving only some cake crumbs, he put down the fork and stood up.

Gu Wenxi still chose to go out in the afternoon, and walked to the river that passed by yesterday again.But today he walked a long way along the river bank, and the path he came on gradually disappeared from sight. The river surface was a little wider, and the river bank was overgrown with weeds, densely dotted with various unknown trees.

The water flow was as gentle as yesterday, but there were many raised stones near the water, making it uncomfortable to walk on. Gu Wenxi did not get too close, and only glanced to the other side of the river.

He adjusted the focal length of the camera, looking for a suitable angle to take a picture, and just about to press the shutter, he was suddenly hit by a hard object on his shoulder.

"Hiss—" Glancing down, a fruit rolled under his feet, and disappeared into the grass.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

Gu Wenxi followed the sound, and there seemed to be a person on the big tree beside her, and when she looked carefully, Du Yunyan showed half of her body from among the branches.

"Why are you?"

"Pick fruit!" He slightly lifted the cloth bag on his chest, "I accidentally dropped one just now."

"Do you need help?" Gu Wenxi couldn't think of anything she could do to help, so she asked purely politely.

"That's enough, I'll go right away."

"Then, be careful!"

The tree may be nearly ten meters high. Although Du Yunyan didn't reach the highest place, Gu Wenxi still sweated secretly for him, and he didn't know how he climbed up.

Du Yunyan straddled the cloth bag on his shoulders, carefully stepped on the thicker branches, and moved a little bit from top to bottom, finally reaching the place closest to the ground.However, the branch he was holding on to was not very stable, and it broke when he was about to jump down. His center of gravity was unstable, and his body was tilted.

"careful!"

Gu Wenxi, who was standing under the tree, ran forward nervously, and then, Du Yunyan fell straight into his arms. Fortunately, Gu Wenxi supported it with all her strength, and the two of them didn't roll to the ground together.

Having intimate contact with the same man in an ambiguous manner for two days in a row, Gu Wenxi was a little embarrassed and didn't let go of her atmosphere.

After Du Yunyan regained his balance, he left his embrace, his expression as usual: "The soil is very soft, it doesn't matter if you fall on the ground."

What they were standing on was a dirt road covered with layers of leaves, and there would be more hard rocks when they went to the river bank.

"Oh." But the ground is too unclean.Gu Wenxi couldn't understand Du Yunyan, sometimes he looked elegant and elegant, and sometimes he was completely informal.

"Why did you come here?" Du Yunyan asked as he walked towards the river.

"Walk around casually," Gu Wenxi followed, "Isn't it interesting to wander around in unfamiliar places?"

"Aren't you afraid of getting lost?"

"I know the way very well," Gu Wenxi jumped onto a wider stone surface, "At worst, there is mobile phone navigation."

Du Yunyan took two fruits and washed them in the river, without raising his head, he said, "Sometimes the signal is not good in mountainous areas."

"It's okay, I can remember," Gu Wenxi squatted on the stone, watching him wash the fruit, the gravel at the bottom of the river was clearly visible, "Can I wash it with this water?"

"Clean," Du Yunyan stood up again, and handed over a washed wild fruit, "Even if it's not that clean, it's fine to eat."

Gu Wenxi is not a person who is too clean, and immediately took it from his hand; the fruit is smaller than an apple, and larger than a hawthorn, light red, never seen in the city, and it tastes very sour after biting: "What is this? "

"Lu Hongguo."

"How come I've never heard of it?"

Du Yunyan started to walk back: "Because I started it."

"You named it?" Gu Wenxi listened to the novelty, he couldn't guess what the name meant, "Why?"

"It's not very complicated." Du Yunyan slowed down, "This kind of fruit matures every year in October of the lunar calendar, and October of the lunar calendar is called Luyue among the people, and it is red."

"that is it?"

"What's more, Zeng Gong's poem 'The red, smoke and purple are too beautiful', the tree is very bright when it blooms, which can be regarded as a kind of echo."

Gu Wenxi did not expect to talk about poetry with people in the mountains because of the name of the wild fruit. He stared at the fruit he had bitten into in his hand, but he couldn't see anything special about it.

"You really have a heart," he followed Du Yunyan, who was always two steps ahead, "Why do you name the dog so casually?"

Du Yunyan stopped suddenly: "My mother made them."

"Then your mother—"

"Passed away." He resumed his previous pace.

"...I'm sorry." The early death of his mother has always been a pain in Gu Wenxi's heart. He compared his heart to his heart, thinking that it might have aroused the sadness of the other party, he regretted bringing up this topic.

"It's okay." The wild fruit in Du Yunyan's hand was eaten until almost only the core remained, "How does it taste?"

Gu Wenxi took another sip, and it was more sour than the first one. Does anyone really like this kind of fruit?

"It seems more sour."

"Well, so few people pick it, but I think it's not bad." Du Yunyan stepped on a narrow dirt road, "Let's go this way, it's closer.

"And," he went on, "it won't be so sour if it's marinated in sugar."

"Really." Gu Wenxi didn't know how to make food, so he casually agreed.

This afternoon may be the one that Du Yunyan talked to him the most.Gu Wenxi guessed that if he talked about how to do business and make money with this person, he might not be interested at all, but if you asked him how a certain mountain specialty grows and how to eat it, he would say a lot.

Upon arriving at the B&B, Du Yunyan said that dinner would take a while, so Gu Wenxi went back to the room on the second floor, took a brief shower, changed into a clean sweater, and then put on a coat.

The mobile phone thrown on the bed sang familiar music, and there were only two words on the lit screen - Jiang Chen.

Gu Wenxi pressed the call button casually: "Hello."

"Wen Xi," Jiang Chen's voice sounded very eager, "You are finally willing to answer my call!"

In fact, he has almost let go of the previous matter, and it is not worth taking it to heart at all, but Jiang Chen's tone is really awkward: "You think too much, can I be jealous of you because of this?"

"Wen Xi, you..." The other party paused, "Are you still angry with me?"

"I said, you think too much."

"Then why did you leave without saying goodbye? I saw the photo you took, are you outside?"

"How did you see my photo?" Gu Wenxi clearly blocked him when he posted it on Moments.

"I saw it from Bo Nian," Jiang Fei said helplessly, "You still said you weren't angry, so why did you block me? I've been...waiting for you at the bar."

"Jiang Chen," Gu Wenxi sighed, "There is not only one you in my world, nor is there only one Liang Qian, it doesn't have much to do with you if I leave, don't make it seem like whoever leaves can't live, Lumpy or not numb?"

There was a sudden silence on the phone, Gu Wenxi ignored it, and continued to say: "Since you two are in love, let's have a good time."

"No," Jiang Chen interrupted him loudly, "Wen Xi, she and I are actually—not what you imagined."

"How is that?"

Gu Wenxi only remembered that Liang Qian said that she had a change of heart and fell in love with Jiang Chen. Didn't Jiang Chen mean that?Then why did he cooperate with the other party and make some intimate gestures in front of him?

Jiang Chen fell silent again, and Gu Wenxi lost patience with the quiet receiver: "That's it, the past is over, anyway, I don't want to go home now, so don't worry about me."

"Wenxi—" he finally spoke, "I have something to tell you, and you will understand after listening."

"What?"

"I want to wait until you come back. I wanted to talk to you before, but you left suddenly." Jiang Chen's voice was slightly resentful.

"Then you have to wait. I still don't know where I'm going and how long it will take me." Gu Wenxi said indifferently.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you, I—" Jiang Chen seemed to laugh, "You've always been like this, you like to be alone outside, I understand, I'm just afraid that you won't talk to me anymore, now... I can Rest assured to continue waiting for you."

Gu Wenxi couldn't help frowning, he felt that Jiang Chen's tone of voice to him today was very strange, it didn't look like it was purely out of guilt, it made him get goose bumps.

"Okay, goodbye." He put down his phone and sat back on the bed.

Gu Wenxi interacts with people completely according to her temperament. On the surface, she can chat with anyone. In fact, her close friends are Jiang Chen and Zeng Bonian. the same dormitory.But Gu Wenxi was not used to living in a dormitory, so she rented an apartment off-campus and often invited them to visit.

The three of them formed a band when they were sophomores, and they had a low popularity in school for a while. Later, when Gu Wenxi took a year off from school and the band disbanded, they gradually disappeared.In the year when she was absent from school, Gu Wenxi traveled alone, covering half of China and some countries in Europe.

He leaned back and fell on the bed, closing his eyes slightly.Before the trip that year, I went drinking with Jiang Chen and the others. Jiang Chen seemed to have said that he would wait for him to return to school, but it was not as sour as today.

What is he trying to tell himself?

"Mr. Gu!"

Gu Wenxi quickly recovered, got up and walked to the window.Du Yunyan stood in the backyard, that is, under the room, separated by a small vegetable field, with his hands forming a trumpet shape around his mouth, and said to him, "You can come and eat."

"I'll come right away!" Gu Wenxi waved at the other party.

Before closing the window, he leaned forward and glanced to the southwest, half-hanging the setting sun between the two mountains, an elegant bright red thin cloud surrounded the light circle that was no longer dazzling, and the golden and red edges were blurred. Clear, almost blended into one.

It turns out that from this room, you can see such a beautiful sunset.

Gu Wenxi's mood immediately improved.
