Tenderness like water

Dongfang Xu once fell into the water when he was young, but he survived thanks to the help of kind-hearted people. Although he did not suffer from the root cause of the disease, he has kept his distance from the wide water since then.

Dongfang Xu has never been so close to the water since he left the village where he lived when he was a child.

Yang Lan and Dongfang Xu were sitting in the cabin. Unlike the fishing boat, there was a small table, a few soft cushions in the cabin of the boat, and a stove with charcoal fire and a pot of boiling water on it.

"Dongfang, you don't like to take a boat?" Yang Lan and Dongfang Xu sat opposite each other, and he could feel that the person opposite was obviously a little unnatural, and his body was too stiff.

It's just that he doesn't like it, and I'm afraid it can't describe Dongfang Xu's state at this time.

Dongfang Xu didn't answer Yang Lan's words, all his mind at the moment was used to resist the dizziness brought by the boat's swimming - after Dongfang Xu and Yang Lan sat down firmly, the boatman took control of the boat with a pole. The boat slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.

Because the draft is not deep and the boat is small, even a slight movement will cause shaking.

Seeing the boat shake twice, Yang Lan moved directly from her position to Dongfang Xu's side, and put a palm on Dongfang Xu's back, "Dongfang, are you seasick?"

It's not that Dongfang Xu has never been on a boat, and he is not seasick, but the fear in his heart is not so easy to fade away when he thinks that there is boundless water between the boards under his feet.

Just as Dongfang Xu was still feeling the shaking of the water waves, a hand was suddenly placed on his back, and he was suddenly alert, and then he slashed to the side and back with his backhand.However, because of the hasty move, Yang Lan easily grabbed the wrist, even though he was wearing fox fur, the wrist was still cold.

"Dongfang, it's me." Yang Lan didn't grab Dongfang Xu's wrist with his left hand and didn't let go. His right hand gently comforted his back with a slight but rhythmic force. After a while, Yang Lan felt that the muscles under his hand had a tendency to relax .

Dongfang Xu's wrist fell into Yang Lan's hands. He was about to struggle, but it happened that the boatman supported the pole at this time and made the boat turn around. resistance.Then Dongfang Xu felt a warmth continuously spread from his back to his body, and the boat seemed to have reached an open place, and the shaking became more subtle.

"I'm fine." Dongfang Xu pulled back his wrist from Yang Lan's hand the next second after he came back to his senses. Another hand touched his wrist.The temperature on Yang Lan's hands is not scalding hot, why does he feel that his wrist is about to be burned.

Yang Lan's palm was empty, and that white wrist was suddenly pulled away, and her heart was also empty for a moment for some reason.

"It's fine."

Then the two drank a cup of tea prepared by the boatman, which was ordinary big brick tea, which had been boiled for a long time and had a very strong taste.

After drinking a cup, the people who put up the sky lanterns by the lake had already dispersed, and the flower boats began to swim in the lake.In addition to the flower boats, there are also many picturesque cruise ships, on which there are singers playing high songs, and there are also many well-to-do scholars who recite poems and write poems.

All uncomfortable.

Getting closer, Yang Lan also heard the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the big boat next to him.He shook his head following the rhythm, but more thoughts were still on Dongfang Xu——before he chartered the boat, he really never thought that this person would be afraid of water.

Yes, not seasick, but afraid of water.

After Yang Lan sat next to Dongfang Xu, he didn't move away. I don't know if it was because of his heart. He always felt that the people around him had a particularly good smell. This smell was the first time he smelled it, but it made him obsessed.

Lips were a little thirsty, Yang Lan raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, but he only raised his right hand halfway, but was stopped by a resistance.Looking along the collapsed sleeves, Yang Lan found that the corner of his clothes was being held in the palm of his hand, and the veins on the back of that hand were all collapsed, obviously exerting great force.

It was also at this time that Yang Lan guessed that Dongfang Xu might be afraid of water.This was something he had never thought of before.

"Dongfang, the lake is very windy, and it's cold today, why don't we go back?" Yang Lan looked away, as if she didn't notice anything, but her body did quietly move towards Dongfang Xu.

No wonder Dongfang has been so well-behaved since he got on the boat, it turned out he was afraid of water.But Yang Lan thought again, even though Dongfang was afraid of water, she still followed him into the boat, worried and surprised, but also uncontrollably elated.

But no matter how beautiful his heart is, as long as he thinks that Dongfang Xu is not used to it, Yang Lan will have no intention of staying any longer.

The purpose of chartering a boat is to enjoy the flowers and the moon, but it is obviously not possible to look at the east, so why not sit under the long pavilion by the lake.

Although he could enjoy the scenery better in the middle of the lake, Yang Lan obviously lost his mind now.

Originally, Yang Lan thought that renting a boat would bring him closer to the East, but now he regrets it, but the boat is fine, as long as they give money, he can go back whenever he wants.

"It's fine to go back." Dongfang Xu didn't notice the things in his hands, thinking that Yang Lan lost interest and wanted to go back, so he naturally wouldn't object.

After getting it right, Yang Lan poked her head out of the cabin and went to talk to the boatman standing on the bow pole. "Boater, it's windy at night. My friend is not feeling well. Please turn around and go back. The money will still be paid. Please find the nearest place where you can go ashore."

"Okay." The boatman heard that the guest was not feeling well. He thought it might be because the night light was very cold, and he heard the guest said that the money would be given, so he was naturally happy, but "there is no suitable place to dock here. You can only go to the place where you just got on the boat."

"It's okay, please row more steadily." After Yang Lan finished speaking, the boatman turned around and was about to go back to the cabin, but suddenly heard a noise coming from ahead, and the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.

When he looked up, he happened to see a white figure floating on the water. It was a woman who might not know how to swim. She jumped a few times and was about to sink.

Yang Lan subconsciously wanted to go over to save someone, so she picked it up all at once and was about to go out, but suddenly felt a slight force on her sleeve, and stopped her movements all at once.

"What's the matter?" Dongfang Xu also heard the sound of someone falling into the water, looked up at Yang Lan, and secretly let go of his hand on the other side. He also just realized that he had grabbed Yang Lan's sleeve with his hand. This is really...

It made Dongfang Xu feel a little shy.

However, after hesitating for only two seconds, the thumping of the woman who fell into the water has become quieter. The weather in March cannot be said to be warm, and the lake water is still bitingly cold. Naturally, it is unbearable for that woman to fall into the water.

Dongfang Xu looked at the turbulent lake and turned his eyes away, but the muscles that were finally relaxed under Yang Lan's comfort began to tense unconsciously again.

The taste of falling into the water is so uncomfortable.

Once Yang Lan saw Dongfang like this, how could he care about the stranger who fell into the water?They were still some distance away from the middle of the lake, and the woman's friends should also try to save her.

Thinking of this, Yang Lan's movements were not slow at all, she directly retracted her head, and moved a little more in the direction of Dongfang Xu, and the arms of the two were touching together.

However, Yang Lan who retracted did not see it. At the moment when he turned his head, a white figure passed by the lake, like a dragonfly touching the water. He reached out to catch the woman where the woman fell into the water, and then carried the woman who fell into the water back together. up the shore.

If Yang Lan saw this person, he would definitely be able to recognize him. He was the young man who caught the sky lantern at the tower.

But none of this has much to do with Yang Lan. He only turned his head to look when he heard someone exclaiming on the shore, and saw that the woman was saved, so he didn't care anymore.

What he's thinking now is how to make Dongfang feel better, even if it's just a little bit.
