misplaced lover
Chapter 1 Yanxi Ancient Road
Hearing Zhou Yamin's words, Tao Xiao couldn't help being stunned.
"Yanxi Ancient Road?" He asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go there?"
"It's a scenic spot that has just been developed. There are not too many people. There are glass plank roads on the mountain and hot spring farmhouses. It happens to be the orchard picking season. It should be fun." Zhou Yamin smiled again, "Brother thought about it Thinking, it seems that I have never taken you out to play. When the season is good, I will take you out for a while."
Tao Xiao looked at Wang Xiaobin and Xu Lei, and asked, "Shall we all go to the dormitory?"
Lan Zhe over there reacted immediately, snorted and said, "I have a performance on Monday, so I can't go."
Wang Xiaobin also quickly replied: "I asked my friends out, but I can't." He poked Xu Lei covertly.
Xu Lei was silent for two seconds before saying, "I've also dated a girlfriend."
No need to ask Jason again, Tao Xiao could tell from their answers that they had agreed to give Zhou Yamin a chance to ask him out alone.
Tao Xiao's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
This opportunity is what he has been waiting for.After waiting for five years, I finally touched this little bit of hope.
However, even though his mood had begun to get agitated inappropriately, Tao Xiao's thinking was still abnormally clear, and he felt as if he had been split into two parts.
The rational part thought of Zhou Yamin's recent performance and the previous quarrel between the two, and began to doubt Zhou Yamin's real motive for arranging this date.And the emotional part, unwilling to give up this rare and longed-for opportunity, beat in his heart, as if urging him to agree quickly and seize this hard-won opportunity.
Zhou Yamin didn't urge him either, but just sat there, staring at Tao Xiao without blinking, waiting for his answer.
When Tao Xiao was watched by Zhou Yamin like this, the slight throbbing in his heart that was about to go out was inexplicably rekindled.
He chased after Zhou Yamin for too long, and waited too long for his gaze, so...he couldn't bear to keep rejecting him.
He thought, just going on a date in the suburbs, as long as there is no intimate contact, and Zhou Yamin is not given the opportunity to hug and kiss him, it will not be considered a breach of his agreement with Shen Qiaohan... right?
So, Tao Xiao forcibly suppressed the trace of uneasiness and uneasiness in her heart, raised the corners of her mouth, and agreed with a smile: "Okay."
Satisfied, Zhou Yamin smiled and called Tao Xiao to play games together.
Although Tao Xiao has not opened the game for a long time, he has not deleted it. The phone will automatically update the APP when it is connected to WiFi and plugged in the power cord, so he reopened the game interface without delay.
Just entering the competition, a WeChat notification popped up suddenly.
Shen Qiaohan: "Get home safely, don't worry. Go to bed early too, good night."
Tao Xiao was engaged in a fierce team battle and had no time to reply to messages, so he could only watch the push banner retract to the edge of the screen.
However, when he thought of Shen Qiaohan, he couldn't help but think of the half-year agreement, and then he thought of the invitation he agreed to just now.
Inexplicably, Tao Xiao suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if she had cheated Brother Shen's feelings.
But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong.
——After all, he and Shen Qiaohan are just sharing a secret friendship. At most, the other party treats him very well, and is also a teacher and friend to him.But he likes Zhou Yamin, even though the degree of liking may not be as deep as before.
He promised Shen Qiaohan that he would not have an intimate relationship with Zhou Yamin such as kissing, but he did not promise that he would not even go on a date.In terms of feelings, in terms of closeness, he really can't be said to be in two boats.
After all, there was no relationship beyond friendship between him and Shen Qiaohan.
Tao Xiao was at a loss, not knowing where the guilt in her heart came from.But let him refuse Zhou Yamin's invitation now, he is not reconciled.
Tao Xiao knows that he is not a saint, but just a fool who wavers and struggles between "a good friend who treats him" and "a person who has had a crush on him for many years".
He stepped on the mud, and he also yearned for the light.He hopes to get better, but he is reluctant to part with the past.
He is not a perfect personality who came out of fictional works, he is just an ordinary citizen who can't be more ordinary, he will hesitate, waver, be emotional, and deceive himself.
After finishing a game, Tao Xiao was scolded strangely by Lan Zhe because his mind was not in the game and his statistics were appalling.
Tao Xiao's mood was already a bit complicated, so she simply excused herself to be sleepy, so as not to delay everyone's ranking, she quit the game directly.
Zhou Yamin didn't say anything, and greeted a group of passers-by, and continued to play ranked.
Tao Xiao huddled under the quilt and flipped through WeChat, but she didn't know who to talk to about her complicated and incomprehensible mood.
I definitely can't talk to these people in the dormitory. Wang Jie's family is inconvenient to disturb. It seems that it is not right to talk to Brother Zhao. He doesn't want to tell his mother about his relationship status. As for Shen Qiaohan... Tao Xiao subconsciously Just avoid this option.
Finally, out of desperation, Tao Xiao found an anonymous forum to resolve her desire to confide.
However, this kind of forum has always been a mixed bag. Tao Xiao finally organized the language, covered up the names of Shen Qiaohan and Zhou Yamin, and posted the whole story of his inner entanglement. In less than ten minutes, he received various replies: Yes Those who scolded him for being too prudent, some who thought it was understandable to have a spare tire, some who taught him to keep pulling S wool, and some who persuaded him to stop talking to Z... Finally, this group of people started fighting on their own, causing a mess.
Tao Xiao let out a foul breath, exited the forum, locked the phone, and closed her eyes to sleep.
In any case, he still wanted to struggle again.
Even if the result is not good, it is his own fault, and he will not resent fate.
……
The weekend is packed with performances, and Monday is coming soon.
Shen Qiaohan didn't come to see Tao Xiao's performance in the past two days, probably because he was busy with other things, and Tao Xiao didn't send Shen Qiaohan a new recording of singing practice. In his free time, he was basically rehearsing pas de deux with Lan Zhe—— Zhao Guangyao's ultimatum came down, and they had to practice well before next weekend.
On Monday, Zhou Yamin and Tao Xiao, who were tossed into the early morning by the weekend performance, both slept until ten o'clock in the morning.They ate something casually to fill their stomachs, and they didn't pack their backpacks until after eleven o'clock, and walked to the nearest subway station.
From Baihe Street to the Yanxi Ancient Road Scenic Spot, you need to take the bus and transfer to the subway twice, and then transfer to the scenic spot bus at a transportation hub west of Yanshi City. It is estimated that it will take nearly three hours.
At this time, the rush hour for going to work has long passed, there are no people in the subway, and the number of trains is relatively small.
The two were waiting for the subway side by side on the platform. Zhou Yamin moved closer to Tao Xiao, and suddenly grabbed Tao Xiao's hand hanging by his side, and held him together.
Shocked, Tao Xiao suddenly pulled out her hand.
Zhou Yamin glanced at Tao Xiao, twitched the corners of his mouth, cursed "fuck", and asked in a low voice, "Why are you acting like a bitch?"
Tao Xiao smiled at him, barely suppressed her racing heart, and said, "In public places, you should, be careful... I don't like being watched by people with that kind of eyes."
Zhou Yamin looked around and sneered, but didn't continue to tease Tao Xiao.
Twice the subway, and then transfer to the bus, because they avoided the rush hour traffic, but there were seats, Zhou Yamin didn't get the chance to wrap Tao Xiao in his arms.
Tao Xiao went out alone with Zhou Yamin for the first time, so he was inevitably a little excited, chatting a lot along the way, and the topics were extremely jumpy.
Gradually, Zhou Yamin couldn't keep up with Tao Xiao's thinking. After being silent for a while, he forcibly changed the subject and started chatting about games.Tao Xiao also played games, so he accepted it very smoothly. He patiently listened to Zhou Yamin talking about his awesome operations over and over again, as if he was a hero who saved the world, as long as he was not there, the game would definitely lose.
When we arrived at Yanxi Ancient Road Scenic Area, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.It goes deep into the mountainous area to the west of Yan City, and the road is rugged. Although the bluestone road is paved for the convenience of sightseeing, the steps are still steep.
Tao Xiao is a dancer, and has been exercising recently, so climbing a mountain is not very strenuous.Zhou Yamin is different. Although he is not fat and has some muscles, his cardiopulmonary function is too poor. Before he climbed halfway up the mountain, he began to pant.
"Fuck... rest for a while, rest for a while!" Zhou Yamin called Tao Xiao to sit down on the bench beside the road, "I'm exhausted!"
With a long sigh, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.
"Brother Yamin," Tao Xiao frowned, and called people back, "This is a forest area, and there is a sign just outside the door that says, no smoking in the panoramic area."
"Where are there so many things!" Zhou Yamin ignored him, took out the lighter, and put his hands together to light a cigarette.
Tao Xiao could only persuade again: "Autumn is windy and dry, it is easy to cause wildfires, you..."
Zhou Yamin crossed his legs, pretended not to hear, lit the cigarette, and took a puff.
He blew a puff of smoke at Tao Xiao, and said with a smile, "It just rained so heavily a few days ago, where is it dry?"
Tao Xiao was helpless: "It was already last Thursday when it rained, and it was only a shower."
Zhou Yamin: "Don't be naughty, smoking a cigarette is so dangerous..."
"Hey! The one sitting over there! Put out the cigarette!"
At this moment, the administrator of the scenic spot ran up the mountain road, shouting loudly.
Seeing that the other party was wearing a uniform and a stick was pinned to his waist, Zhou Yamin immediately threw the half-smoked cigarette on the bluestone board and stomped it out.
The administrator came closer, looked at Zhou Yamin and Tao Xiao, and said blankly: "Fine, two hundred!"
Zhou Yamin jumped up immediately: "Two hundred?! I'm not sure, I didn't light anything!"
The administrator issued a ticket and stretched out his hand: "Confiscate the lighter."
Zhou Yamin was not happy about this: "I said you are going too far, do you want to use this method to generate income? Then I want to bring a brand-name lighter, so you will make money?"
Seeing Zhou Yamin's appearance of wanting to argue with someone to the end, Tao Xiao didn't want the date to be messed up, so she took the initiative to stop between the two of them.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he first apologized to the administrator of the scenic spot, and took out his mobile phone to pay the fine, "I have caused trouble for your work."
Then Tao Xiao turned to Zhou Yamin again: "Brother, it's really inappropriate to smoke in the forest area... Just hand over the lighter, and I'll give you a good one later."
Zhou Yamin glanced at Tao Xiao, saw that he was pleading, he was touched by some point, and suddenly got some kind of satisfaction.
He casually threw the lighter to the administrator, cursed, turned around and continued walking up the mountain.
Tao Xiao waited for the administrator to type out the form for paying the fine, then ran a few steps to catch up with Zhou Yamin.
Zhou Yamin turned his head and sneered at Tao Xiao: "You are really cowardly!"
Tao Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth, but didn't refute anything.
After climbing another section of the mountain road, when you can see a series of glass plank roads surrounding the highest mountain from a distance, Zhou Yamin refuses to climb up—he chose such a scenic spot so far away just to trick Tao Xiao into staying outside for a night , the real purpose is not to play, so I don't want to continue to suffer.
Tao Xiao really wanted to go up the glass walkway and challenge her, so she persuaded her in a soft tone, but Zhou Yamin gave her a big roll of her eyes.
"You want to go by yourself," Zhou Yamin waved his hands impatiently, found a bench and sat down, "I'll wait for you here."
"However, after walking the plank road, you have to go down the mountain from the other side, and you won't go back here." Tao Xiao looked at the schematic diagram of the scenic spot, frowned and said, "Actually, it's not far away. Let's walk slowly, so we won't be too tired."
Zhou Yamin leaned on the bench as if he had no bones: "No."
Tao Xiao bit her lower lip: "Brother Yamin, just stay with me..."
"Fuck! I won't go!"
Zhou Yamin sat up suddenly, threw his backpack on the ground, and stared at Tao Xiao: "I just don't want to go! Can't you understand?"
Tao Xiao was stunned by Zhou Yamin's roar.
Seeing his appearance, Zhou Yamin gave an irritable "tsk", thinking that his behavior seemed a bit too much, and it was not conducive to tricking Tao Xiao to live together at night-if Tao Xiao gave up going to the glass plank road, they would go down the mountain very early. If the time is not late at night, he has no excuse to stay in the scenic spot.
Wanting to understand these key points, Zhou Yamin said in a soft tone: "I slept too late yesterday, I am not physically strong today, and I don't want to climb high. If you want to go to the glass plank road, you can go by yourself, and you just take my share with you." Yes. Remember to take a short video for me to see, and I will pretend that I have been there too...Well, I will pass through the road below, and I will wait for you on the other side of the mountain when I can’t find anyone. "
Tao Xiao listened to him silently, then looked away from Zhou Yamin's face, and looked up at the glass path.
Now that he has come here, he really doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
"That's fine," he bit his lower lip, "I'll go up as fast as I can, and I'll take a video and send it to you."
Zhou Yamin pulled out a smile and coaxed: "Then please, follow you up to see the scenery with my heart."
Tao Xiao also smiled at him, nodded, put her backpack on her back, turned around and walked up the mountain road.
Zhou Yamin looked at Tao Xiao's leaving back, snorted slightly, and was about to take out a cigarette, but suddenly remembered that smoking is not allowed here, so he put the cigarette case back irritably.
After staying bored for a while, he took out his mobile phone and began to search for hot spring hotels near the scenic spot.Looking at the price, it was a bit ridiculously expensive, Zhou Yamin gritted his teeth, and turned his attention to the cheaper farmhouses in the surrounding area.
He made up his mind that when Tao Xiao came down from the glass path, he would take people down the mountain to catch crabs and pick them. He tried to delay the time until the evening, and then he would have an excuse to live here.
……
Tao Xiao trotted along the mountain path and rushed up to the entrance of the glass path.
He wiped off his sweat, and couldn't wait to take a sip of water, and immediately went to the window to pay for the visit ticket set up separately for the glass walkway.
The aunt who bought the ticket looked at him, she seemed to be a little distressed, and asked, "Oh, young man, why are you sweating so much and running up here? What's the hurry, this plank road will only be closed when the sun goes down!"
Tao Xiao scanned the QR code to pay, and smiled at the aunt: "A friend is waiting for me below, I have to hurry up!"
After finishing speaking, he took the tour ticket, afraid of wasting time, he immediately trotted to the entrance of the plank road to line up - the glass plank road restricts the number of tourists, and he needs to line up for a short time, and they can only go up after confirming that there are tourists leaving on the other side of the plank road.
At this time, Tao Xiao's cell phone vibrated and received a WeChat message.
Shen Qiaohan sent a recorded audio.
While queuing up, Tao Xiao turned on the audio and put the phone to her ear to listen.
It was a piano and violin concerto that lasted more than three minutes. In the background, timpani beat simple drum beats, and the whole melody appeared very clean and clear.
Tao Xiao soon realized that this song was the arrangement version of the humming recording that Shen Qiaohan played to him in the car last Thursday.
Returning to the WeChat message interface, Tao Xiao saw the message sent by Shen Qiaohan following the audio: "Listen, do you like it?"
Tao Xiao raised the corners of her mouth and replied with a smile: "It's so nice! You can't write it in three days, so fast?"
Shen Qiaohan: "It's just a demo for the time being, and it still needs to be edited. I'm thinking about whether to write it into a symphony or make it into a song."
Tao Xiao: "Hey, I don't know the difference between the two. However, you became famous for writing symphonies. If you can change them to symphonies, then symphonies must be more in line with your positioning."
Before Shen Qiaohan could reply in time, it was Tao Xiao's turn to go up the glass path.
He immediately stepped forward following the call of the staff, stepped on the transparent hard ground, and walked forward slowly.
In fact, although the glass plank road in this scenic spot has such a name, half of the platform is covered with wooden boards.The wooden table is close to the mountain wall, and Tao Xiao guessed that it is a resting place for tourists who feel scared after walking halfway.
Tao Xiao is not afraid of heights at all. He walks on the half made of transparent glass, looking with interest at the bottomless cliff below.
The glass plank road turns a big arc around the top of the mountain, and a slightly larger platform is opened in the middle. The platform is all made of glass, and the end protrudes five or six meters away, which is farther away from the mountain wall and more exciting.
Tao Xiao took out his mobile phone and took a video of the plank road under his feet. While shooting, he walked to the end of the glass platform, and finally came a 180-degree panorama.
He leaned against the railing at the end of the platform, took a selfie with his mobile phone "click", clicked on WeChat, and prepared to send it to Zhou Yamin.
This place has gone around the back of the mountain, and the signal is a bit weak. The WeChat interface was stuck for a long time before I stumbled to open it. The message history was circling, but it hadn't been displayed yet.
A tourist behind wanted to take a group photo here, and asked Tao Xiao to let her sit. Tao Xiao didn't pay attention to the name at the top of the chat interface, and hurriedly sent the selfie and the video of the glass walkway, leaving the protruding part of the platform.
The mobile phone has been very quiet, Tao Xiao noticed that the network logo has disappeared, and only the last half-dead signal bar remains.So he didn't try to send any more messages. He only used his mobile phone to record videos and take pictures, and was going to send the rest to Zhou Yamin when he went down the mountain.
It wasn't until he walked around the glass plank road to the other side of the mountain that Tao Xiao's cell phone "lived" again, vibrating several times in succession.
Tao Xiao clicked on WeChat, but found that it was a message from Shen Qiaohan.
Shen Qiaohan: "Where is this?"
Shen Qiaohan: "Did you go out to play?"
Shen Qiaohan: "I now reasonably suspect that you are bullying me because I am afraid of heights."
Tao Xiao:? ? ?
Tao Xiao pushed up the chat history, only to find that he had actually sent the message to Shen Qiaohan, and wanted to withdraw it, but it was too late - more than ten minutes had passed since he sent the video and photos.
It's all because of the WeChat card just now!
Tao Xiao scratched her hair subconsciously, and quickly replied: "Sorry, I sent it to the wrong person!"
Shen Qiaohan: "The signal is not good on the mountain?"
Tao Xiao: "It's not very good. If you can't withdraw, just pretend you didn't see it." Added a kneeling expression.
Shen Qiaohan: "Where is it?"
Tao Xiao was walking, too lazy to type, so she simply changed her voice: "Yanxi Ancient Road. There are hot springs here, as well as picking, you can also catch crabs, and you can cook your own barbecue. The crabs are the fattest in autumn, and you can do it someday later. Come and play. Hehe, but I know, you must not dare to walk on the glass plank road! Hahaha, change it next time, let’s come here!"
After waiting for a while, Shen Qiaohan didn't reply immediately.
Tao Xiao sent the video and photos he just took to Zhou Yamin, and continued to walk down the mountain along Qingshi Road.
After walking for about 5 minutes, the phone vibrated, and Shen Qiaohan's message came again.
Shen Qiaohan: "Zhou Yamin asked you to go?"
Seeing this news, Tao Xiao was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Shen Qiaohan was too perceptive.
Before he replied, Shen Qiaohan's second message came again: "It's past five o'clock, do you still want to pick and catch crabs?"
Tao Xiao thought for a while: "Should go."
Shen Qiaohan asked again: "What time do you plan to come back?"
Holding the phone, Tao Xiao inexplicably sensed a little anxiety from Shen Qiaohan's series of questions.
Sure enough, before he could reply, Shen Qiaohan immediately sent another message: "If it's too late to find a car, I can pick you up."
Tao Xiao looked up at the sky and bit her lip lightly.
In fact, he still had some guesses about Zhou Yamin asking him to play so far away alone.But at the same time, he also knew that the current self would no longer have no resistance to Zhou Yamin's request.He can hold that line.
The reason why he decided to go to the appointment was because he wanted to leave some good memories with Zhou Yamin before he left the bar, hoping that in the future...
... what about the future?
When there was no reply, Shen Qiaohan became obviously anxious: "Tao Xiao, remember what you promised me."
Tao Xiao lowered her eyelashes and was about to reply when the message was suddenly withdrawn.
This was followed by a completely different new message: "You have fun. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
Tao Xiao stood on the bluestone road in the mountains, and stood there for a long time.
He looked at the western sky, at the sunset that was gradually meeting the foot of the mountain, exhaled slowly, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Shen Qiaohan: "Don't worry, I remember what I promised you, I can do it."
Even if the future is not good, he wants to try again one last time.
At last.
……
Shen Qiaohan sat in front of the piano, his fingers resting lightly on the keys, but he didn't press any notes.
He was in a daze, with his eyes slightly lowered, unconsciously looking at his own reflection on the flipped piano keys.
The phone rang with a "ding", waking him up from his daze. He immediately picked up the phone and saw the message from Tao Xiao.
Tao Xiao never denied that he went out with Zhou Yamin.
His last sentence was even tantamount to admitting this point.
Shen Qiaohan suddenly got up, walked around the living room, picked up the phone and didn't know what to reply, so he held it in his hand, walked back to the piano, but didn't have the mood to continue playing the piano, so he walked around the living room again lap.
Finally, he took a deep breath, went upstairs and changed clothes, came down in a hurry, took the car keys from the shelf, turned and went out...even forgot to close the key cover.
Shen Qiaohan sat in the driver's seat, turned on the phone's navigation, and entered the words "Yanxi Ancient Road".
When the mechanical voice of the navigation sounded, he supported the steering wheel and smiled wryly, and murmured hoarsely: "...that's ridiculous..."
After laughing at himself, he still started the car and drove out.
……
Tao Xiao came down the mountain road, but did not see Zhou Yamin at the meeting point.
He searched around, and finally picked up his mobile phone resignedly and dialed Zhou Yamin's number.
The phone was picked up quickly, and Zhou Yamin's voice was full of affection and tenderness: "Baby, are you down?"
Tao Xiao got goosebumps all over his body when he was called "baby". He subconsciously bared his teeth, shrank his neck, and asked, "Brother, where are you?"
Zhou Yamin replied with a smile: "Keep going down a little bit, there is a viewing platform, I met an acquaintance, and I was chatting with him! Come, let's go to the farmhouse for a self-service barbecue!"
acquaintance?Meet acquaintances here?
Tao Xiao wondered, and followed Zhou Yamin's prompt to walk down the mountain along the stone road.
After walking not far, a viewing platform paved with flat bluestone appeared in front of Tao Xiao.There is a shop selling small food on the platform, and there are several outdoor tables and chairs beside it.
Zhou Yamin was sitting on one of the stools, with a distorted smile on his face, talking to the other two sitting opposite him.
Seeing Tao Xiao approaching, the smile on Zhou Yamin's face spread exaggeratedly, and he stretched out his hand to say hello: "Baby, come, meet our acquaintance!"
Tao Xiao reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, enduring the inexplicable discomfort in her heart, and walked forward.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw clearly the person sitting opposite Zhou Yamin - Li Yanrui.
Next to Li Yanrui was a man he didn't know, with curly mohawk hair dyed orange, wearing a string of earrings, a long bamboo stick in his mouth, and his legs were cocked in a dawdly way, with a He hugged Li Yanrui's waist tightly.Seeing someone approaching, he picked Tao Xiao out of the corner of his eye and raised an eyebrow.
"Yo, this baby is pretty!" The yellow-haired man laughed, and bared his teeth at Zhou Yamin, "It is indeed more eye-catching than our Ruirui family, you have to watch this time, don't run away with others again."
Zhou Yamin was so angry that he turned his head to look at Tao Xiao who was standing beside him, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged the person on his lap.
Tao Xiao was so startled that his hairs stood on end, and he subconsciously wanted to struggle, but at this moment, he heard Li Yanrui making a "chi" sound.Li Yanrui looked at Tao Xiao viciously, his eyes were like two sharp swords, as if they wanted to pierce him right through.
Zhou Yamin felt Tao Xiao's tense body slowly relax, and proudly put his hand on his waist, making him sit still.
Tao Xiao ran up and down the glass plank road, sweating all over, her back was almost soaked, being hugged like this, with her cold and wet clothes sticking to her skin, it was very uncomfortable.
Zhou Yamin didn't expect that his hands were sweating, and his brows were slightly frowned, but he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Li Yanrui and him, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Brother, I'm sweaty," Tao Xiao quickly found an excuse, got up from Zhou Yamin's arms with a smile, and moved to the empty seat next to her, "Don't stain your clothes."
Zhou Yamin didn't stop her, turned her head and said with a smile: "Baby, I'm so attentive to my brother, my brother will reward you tonight!"
Tao Xiao suppressed the discomfort in her heart, forced a smile at Zhou Yamin, and looked at Li Yanrui involuntarily.
Li Yanrui's gaze was about to become real, and a murderous knife was condensed.
But obviously, he was afraid of the yellow-haired man next to him, so he didn't dare to say anything.
The yellow-haired man looked around among Li Yanrui, Zhou Yamin, and Tao Xiao with great enjoyment, reached out and took out the bamboo stick from his mouth, and knocked on the table.
"The grilled sausage sold here is really tasteless. Didn't you mean to go to the farmhouse to cook your own barbecue?" He seemed not to see the storm brewing between the three of them, and suggested with a smile, "It's not fun to eat barbecue if there are fewer people. Now we have gathered four people, just right! Shall we go now?"
Zhou Yamin immediately echoed with a wicked smile: "Success, no problem, let's go!"
As he spoke, he held Tao Xiao's hand and pulled him up.
Tao Xiao wanted to pull his hand out, but Zhou Yamin gripped it so tightly that it even hurt a little.
Zhou Yamin turned his back on Li Yanrui and the yellow-haired man, lowered his voice, frowned and reprimanded Tao Xiao: "Be good!"
Tao Xiao pursed her lower lip, letting Zhou Yamin pull her forward.
There is a total fire ban in the Yanxi Ancient Road forest area, so the farmhouses like eating barbecue buffets are located at the foot of the mountain, close to fish ponds and orchards, and according to the plan, they are connected in a row.
It took nearly 10 minutes to go down the mountain, and the sky was completely dark.Zhou Yamin and the yellow-haired man "chat" in a strange way all the way, but they were "nothing wrong" with each other, maintaining a strange superficial peace, which is simply unimaginable.
When they got to the street of Nongjiale, the two chose a place near the crab pond "politely", discussing how to get charcoal and various meat skewers - the barbecue buffet here needs to be grilled by oneself, and the fee is charged per head , Meat skewers, vegetables and seasonings can be collected in unlimited quantities from the kitchen.
So Tao Xiao, Zhou Yamin, Li Yanrui, and Huang Maonan, the wonderful foursome, actually got together and started a stove and started a barbecue.
Tao Xiao found an excuse to go to the stove to grill skewers alone, and while brushing the sauce, he felt that this date really left him speechless.
Especially this last development... He almost wondered if he actually fell asleep on the glass walkway on the top of the mountain and had an extremely absurd and unreasonable dream.
Seeing the calmness of the yellow-haired man, holding Li Yanrui in his arms, Zhou Yamin had a good drink with his "rival in love", so he didn't want to admit defeat at all.
If he gets angry because of Li Yanrui's "betrayal", it's like admitting that he has been robbed of his wife, so he must not be the first to lose his temper or leave the scene first.Not only can he not leave the field, but he also has to show Tao Xiao, the "incumbent", everywhere, so that the yellow hair on the opposite side can see that even if Li Yanrui runs away, there is still no shortage of people around him, and this person is even better!
At the same time, he also knew that Li Yanrui could not get used to Tao Xiao all the time, so why would he not take Tao Xiao angrily on Li Yanrui?
The yellow-haired man smiled and picked up a skewer from the table and fed it into Li Yanrui's mouth. Li Yanrui ate it with a smile.The yellow-haired man said, "You're so good", then leaned forward and took a bite of Li Yanrui's mouth.
In front of Zhou Yamin, the two kissed again and again, but their hands were dishonest, greasy and crooked, Zhou Yamin's heart suddenly burst into flames, and he was very angry.
Tao Xiao watched the three people on the table turbulently, and was very glad that he found an excuse to stay away.Even though the smoke from the oven is heavy and choking, it is far less pungent than the smell of gunpowder and sour on that table.
Today's date was ruined after all.
With his eyes lowered, he slowly brushed another layer of seasoning on the meat skewers, and put the half-baked part in a place with a low fire to heat it up slowly, his heart was actually peaceful.
The phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly, Tao Xiao wiped his hands, took it out and saw it was Shen Qiaohan's WeChat message.
Shen Qiaohan: "Are you playing night fishing or picking?"
It's getting dark, so what's the use of picking... Tao Xiao sighed, and replied helplessly: "I'm so miserable, I'm doing barbecue at the farmhouse."
Shen Qiaohan didn't send any more messages.
Tao Xiao silently finished grilling a plate of mutton skewers and a plate of chicken wings, and brought them to the table.
As soon as he put down the plate, Zhou Yamin grabbed his wrist.
Zhou Yamin dragged Tao Xiao to sit beside him, and said with a smile, "Baby, don't be busy all the time, how tired you are, come and eat something too."
As he spoke, he picked up a mutton skewer and handed it to Tao Xiao's mouth.
Tao Xiao refused with a smile: "It's just baked, it's too hot, let it dry before eating." Then he took a chicken gizzard that was roasted earlier, and took a bite.
Zhou Yamin's face darkened slightly, but he held back his temper and poured another glass of beer for Tao Xiao.
"You've been standing by the charcoal fire for so long, it's quite hot, come, drink something cool!"
This time, Tao Xiao reluctantly accepted the feed before it reached his mouth.
At this moment, Zhou Yamin's hand slipped onto Tao Xiao's waist.
Tao Xiao stood up abruptly: "The fire is still on, and there is a big plate of skewers, I'll go roast first..."
Zhou Yamin frowned, and lowered his voice a little: "What's the rush, first come and give my brother a hug!"
Tao Xiao ignored him, turned around and left.
Zhou Yamin's suppressed anger for a long time was finally ignited at this moment.
He jumped up and grabbed Tao Xiao's arm forcefully, pulled him around forcibly, and said angrily: "Can you be obedient? Ah? I brought you out just to let you cut my face?"
Of course Tao Xiao was also in a bad mood.
This date had such an absurd ending, he had been very patient before and tried very hard to save Zhou Yamin's face.But Zhou Yamin's performance in front of Li Yanrui made Tao Xiao both disappointed and disgusted.
"Zhou Yamin," Tao Xiao raised her face slightly, staring at Zhou Yamin's eyes, with a solemn tone, "I am not your tool, please respect me!"
"Fuck!" Zhou Yamin scratched his hair violently, "Why don't I respect you? I'll take you out to play, you should be obedient, so why don't I respect you?"
Hearing what he said, Tao Xiao's temper also rose.
He shook off Zhou Yamin's hand: "Did you bring me here to play, or to compete with them to be jealous? Are you naive?"
Seeing the old man with yellow hair sitting at the table and looking over with a playful smile on his face, Zhou Yamin only felt his head twitch.
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he didn't want to attract the attention of other tourists around him, so he lowered his voice and leaned forward: "Of course I'm taking you out to play! Is it what I want to meet them? Ah? You think I want to be there That little bitch made a fool of herself? If you were obedient, how could I get so angry with you?"
Tao Xiao bit her lower lip, chuckled lightly, and asked, "How should I be obedient? Let you hold me, let you kiss me, and then let you trick me into a hotel?"
Zhou Yamin cursed a dirty word, crossed his hips and panted for a long time, and said: "I just want to fuck you, what's the matter? You should be prepared for this when you promised to come out with me. I've already taken you out on a date, and you still refuse to let me Did I touch it? You said that you liked me before, was it a lie? Huh?"
Tao Xiao lowered her eyelashes and gave a wry smile.
He thought that today... at least a little bit, even a little bit of good memories, would be left behind.But I didn't expect that this "date" would be so bad from the beginning to the end.
It was his fault, he shouldn't have posted it upside down when he knew that Zhou Yamin had actually set up a trap.
But if emotional matters can be completely controlled by reason, then it is not called emotional.
At this time, the yellow-haired man over there suddenly raised his voice: "What are you two whispering? I said you too, and you can't even coax your wife? Let me tell you, don't worry about how angry he is, press the wall Give me a kiss, I'm sure you'll be fine right away!"
Then he snorted and pretended to be sorry
"Yanxi Ancient Road?" He asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go there?"
"It's a scenic spot that has just been developed. There are not too many people. There are glass plank roads on the mountain and hot spring farmhouses. It happens to be the orchard picking season. It should be fun." Zhou Yamin smiled again, "Brother thought about it Thinking, it seems that I have never taken you out to play. When the season is good, I will take you out for a while."
Tao Xiao looked at Wang Xiaobin and Xu Lei, and asked, "Shall we all go to the dormitory?"
Lan Zhe over there reacted immediately, snorted and said, "I have a performance on Monday, so I can't go."
Wang Xiaobin also quickly replied: "I asked my friends out, but I can't." He poked Xu Lei covertly.
Xu Lei was silent for two seconds before saying, "I've also dated a girlfriend."
No need to ask Jason again, Tao Xiao could tell from their answers that they had agreed to give Zhou Yamin a chance to ask him out alone.
Tao Xiao's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
This opportunity is what he has been waiting for.After waiting for five years, I finally touched this little bit of hope.
However, even though his mood had begun to get agitated inappropriately, Tao Xiao's thinking was still abnormally clear, and he felt as if he had been split into two parts.
The rational part thought of Zhou Yamin's recent performance and the previous quarrel between the two, and began to doubt Zhou Yamin's real motive for arranging this date.And the emotional part, unwilling to give up this rare and longed-for opportunity, beat in his heart, as if urging him to agree quickly and seize this hard-won opportunity.
Zhou Yamin didn't urge him either, but just sat there, staring at Tao Xiao without blinking, waiting for his answer.
When Tao Xiao was watched by Zhou Yamin like this, the slight throbbing in his heart that was about to go out was inexplicably rekindled.
He chased after Zhou Yamin for too long, and waited too long for his gaze, so...he couldn't bear to keep rejecting him.
He thought, just going on a date in the suburbs, as long as there is no intimate contact, and Zhou Yamin is not given the opportunity to hug and kiss him, it will not be considered a breach of his agreement with Shen Qiaohan... right?
So, Tao Xiao forcibly suppressed the trace of uneasiness and uneasiness in her heart, raised the corners of her mouth, and agreed with a smile: "Okay."
Satisfied, Zhou Yamin smiled and called Tao Xiao to play games together.
Although Tao Xiao has not opened the game for a long time, he has not deleted it. The phone will automatically update the APP when it is connected to WiFi and plugged in the power cord, so he reopened the game interface without delay.
Just entering the competition, a WeChat notification popped up suddenly.
Shen Qiaohan: "Get home safely, don't worry. Go to bed early too, good night."
Tao Xiao was engaged in a fierce team battle and had no time to reply to messages, so he could only watch the push banner retract to the edge of the screen.
However, when he thought of Shen Qiaohan, he couldn't help but think of the half-year agreement, and then he thought of the invitation he agreed to just now.
Inexplicably, Tao Xiao suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if she had cheated Brother Shen's feelings.
But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong.
——After all, he and Shen Qiaohan are just sharing a secret friendship. At most, the other party treats him very well, and is also a teacher and friend to him.But he likes Zhou Yamin, even though the degree of liking may not be as deep as before.
He promised Shen Qiaohan that he would not have an intimate relationship with Zhou Yamin such as kissing, but he did not promise that he would not even go on a date.In terms of feelings, in terms of closeness, he really can't be said to be in two boats.
After all, there was no relationship beyond friendship between him and Shen Qiaohan.
Tao Xiao was at a loss, not knowing where the guilt in her heart came from.But let him refuse Zhou Yamin's invitation now, he is not reconciled.
Tao Xiao knows that he is not a saint, but just a fool who wavers and struggles between "a good friend who treats him" and "a person who has had a crush on him for many years".
He stepped on the mud, and he also yearned for the light.He hopes to get better, but he is reluctant to part with the past.
He is not a perfect personality who came out of fictional works, he is just an ordinary citizen who can't be more ordinary, he will hesitate, waver, be emotional, and deceive himself.
After finishing a game, Tao Xiao was scolded strangely by Lan Zhe because his mind was not in the game and his statistics were appalling.
Tao Xiao's mood was already a bit complicated, so she simply excused herself to be sleepy, so as not to delay everyone's ranking, she quit the game directly.
Zhou Yamin didn't say anything, and greeted a group of passers-by, and continued to play ranked.
Tao Xiao huddled under the quilt and flipped through WeChat, but she didn't know who to talk to about her complicated and incomprehensible mood.
I definitely can't talk to these people in the dormitory. Wang Jie's family is inconvenient to disturb. It seems that it is not right to talk to Brother Zhao. He doesn't want to tell his mother about his relationship status. As for Shen Qiaohan... Tao Xiao subconsciously Just avoid this option.
Finally, out of desperation, Tao Xiao found an anonymous forum to resolve her desire to confide.
However, this kind of forum has always been a mixed bag. Tao Xiao finally organized the language, covered up the names of Shen Qiaohan and Zhou Yamin, and posted the whole story of his inner entanglement. In less than ten minutes, he received various replies: Yes Those who scolded him for being too prudent, some who thought it was understandable to have a spare tire, some who taught him to keep pulling S wool, and some who persuaded him to stop talking to Z... Finally, this group of people started fighting on their own, causing a mess.
Tao Xiao let out a foul breath, exited the forum, locked the phone, and closed her eyes to sleep.
In any case, he still wanted to struggle again.
Even if the result is not good, it is his own fault, and he will not resent fate.
……
The weekend is packed with performances, and Monday is coming soon.
Shen Qiaohan didn't come to see Tao Xiao's performance in the past two days, probably because he was busy with other things, and Tao Xiao didn't send Shen Qiaohan a new recording of singing practice. In his free time, he was basically rehearsing pas de deux with Lan Zhe—— Zhao Guangyao's ultimatum came down, and they had to practice well before next weekend.
On Monday, Zhou Yamin and Tao Xiao, who were tossed into the early morning by the weekend performance, both slept until ten o'clock in the morning.They ate something casually to fill their stomachs, and they didn't pack their backpacks until after eleven o'clock, and walked to the nearest subway station.
From Baihe Street to the Yanxi Ancient Road Scenic Spot, you need to take the bus and transfer to the subway twice, and then transfer to the scenic spot bus at a transportation hub west of Yanshi City. It is estimated that it will take nearly three hours.
At this time, the rush hour for going to work has long passed, there are no people in the subway, and the number of trains is relatively small.
The two were waiting for the subway side by side on the platform. Zhou Yamin moved closer to Tao Xiao, and suddenly grabbed Tao Xiao's hand hanging by his side, and held him together.
Shocked, Tao Xiao suddenly pulled out her hand.
Zhou Yamin glanced at Tao Xiao, twitched the corners of his mouth, cursed "fuck", and asked in a low voice, "Why are you acting like a bitch?"
Tao Xiao smiled at him, barely suppressed her racing heart, and said, "In public places, you should, be careful... I don't like being watched by people with that kind of eyes."
Zhou Yamin looked around and sneered, but didn't continue to tease Tao Xiao.
Twice the subway, and then transfer to the bus, because they avoided the rush hour traffic, but there were seats, Zhou Yamin didn't get the chance to wrap Tao Xiao in his arms.
Tao Xiao went out alone with Zhou Yamin for the first time, so he was inevitably a little excited, chatting a lot along the way, and the topics were extremely jumpy.
Gradually, Zhou Yamin couldn't keep up with Tao Xiao's thinking. After being silent for a while, he forcibly changed the subject and started chatting about games.Tao Xiao also played games, so he accepted it very smoothly. He patiently listened to Zhou Yamin talking about his awesome operations over and over again, as if he was a hero who saved the world, as long as he was not there, the game would definitely lose.
When we arrived at Yanxi Ancient Road Scenic Area, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.It goes deep into the mountainous area to the west of Yan City, and the road is rugged. Although the bluestone road is paved for the convenience of sightseeing, the steps are still steep.
Tao Xiao is a dancer, and has been exercising recently, so climbing a mountain is not very strenuous.Zhou Yamin is different. Although he is not fat and has some muscles, his cardiopulmonary function is too poor. Before he climbed halfway up the mountain, he began to pant.
"Fuck... rest for a while, rest for a while!" Zhou Yamin called Tao Xiao to sit down on the bench beside the road, "I'm exhausted!"
With a long sigh, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.
"Brother Yamin," Tao Xiao frowned, and called people back, "This is a forest area, and there is a sign just outside the door that says, no smoking in the panoramic area."
"Where are there so many things!" Zhou Yamin ignored him, took out the lighter, and put his hands together to light a cigarette.
Tao Xiao could only persuade again: "Autumn is windy and dry, it is easy to cause wildfires, you..."
Zhou Yamin crossed his legs, pretended not to hear, lit the cigarette, and took a puff.
He blew a puff of smoke at Tao Xiao, and said with a smile, "It just rained so heavily a few days ago, where is it dry?"
Tao Xiao was helpless: "It was already last Thursday when it rained, and it was only a shower."
Zhou Yamin: "Don't be naughty, smoking a cigarette is so dangerous..."
"Hey! The one sitting over there! Put out the cigarette!"
At this moment, the administrator of the scenic spot ran up the mountain road, shouting loudly.
Seeing that the other party was wearing a uniform and a stick was pinned to his waist, Zhou Yamin immediately threw the half-smoked cigarette on the bluestone board and stomped it out.
The administrator came closer, looked at Zhou Yamin and Tao Xiao, and said blankly: "Fine, two hundred!"
Zhou Yamin jumped up immediately: "Two hundred?! I'm not sure, I didn't light anything!"
The administrator issued a ticket and stretched out his hand: "Confiscate the lighter."
Zhou Yamin was not happy about this: "I said you are going too far, do you want to use this method to generate income? Then I want to bring a brand-name lighter, so you will make money?"
Seeing Zhou Yamin's appearance of wanting to argue with someone to the end, Tao Xiao didn't want the date to be messed up, so she took the initiative to stop between the two of them.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he first apologized to the administrator of the scenic spot, and took out his mobile phone to pay the fine, "I have caused trouble for your work."
Then Tao Xiao turned to Zhou Yamin again: "Brother, it's really inappropriate to smoke in the forest area... Just hand over the lighter, and I'll give you a good one later."
Zhou Yamin glanced at Tao Xiao, saw that he was pleading, he was touched by some point, and suddenly got some kind of satisfaction.
He casually threw the lighter to the administrator, cursed, turned around and continued walking up the mountain.
Tao Xiao waited for the administrator to type out the form for paying the fine, then ran a few steps to catch up with Zhou Yamin.
Zhou Yamin turned his head and sneered at Tao Xiao: "You are really cowardly!"
Tao Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth, but didn't refute anything.
After climbing another section of the mountain road, when you can see a series of glass plank roads surrounding the highest mountain from a distance, Zhou Yamin refuses to climb up—he chose such a scenic spot so far away just to trick Tao Xiao into staying outside for a night , the real purpose is not to play, so I don't want to continue to suffer.
Tao Xiao really wanted to go up the glass walkway and challenge her, so she persuaded her in a soft tone, but Zhou Yamin gave her a big roll of her eyes.
"You want to go by yourself," Zhou Yamin waved his hands impatiently, found a bench and sat down, "I'll wait for you here."
"However, after walking the plank road, you have to go down the mountain from the other side, and you won't go back here." Tao Xiao looked at the schematic diagram of the scenic spot, frowned and said, "Actually, it's not far away. Let's walk slowly, so we won't be too tired."
Zhou Yamin leaned on the bench as if he had no bones: "No."
Tao Xiao bit her lower lip: "Brother Yamin, just stay with me..."
"Fuck! I won't go!"
Zhou Yamin sat up suddenly, threw his backpack on the ground, and stared at Tao Xiao: "I just don't want to go! Can't you understand?"
Tao Xiao was stunned by Zhou Yamin's roar.
Seeing his appearance, Zhou Yamin gave an irritable "tsk", thinking that his behavior seemed a bit too much, and it was not conducive to tricking Tao Xiao to live together at night-if Tao Xiao gave up going to the glass plank road, they would go down the mountain very early. If the time is not late at night, he has no excuse to stay in the scenic spot.
Wanting to understand these key points, Zhou Yamin said in a soft tone: "I slept too late yesterday, I am not physically strong today, and I don't want to climb high. If you want to go to the glass plank road, you can go by yourself, and you just take my share with you." Yes. Remember to take a short video for me to see, and I will pretend that I have been there too...Well, I will pass through the road below, and I will wait for you on the other side of the mountain when I can’t find anyone. "
Tao Xiao listened to him silently, then looked away from Zhou Yamin's face, and looked up at the glass path.
Now that he has come here, he really doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
"That's fine," he bit his lower lip, "I'll go up as fast as I can, and I'll take a video and send it to you."
Zhou Yamin pulled out a smile and coaxed: "Then please, follow you up to see the scenery with my heart."
Tao Xiao also smiled at him, nodded, put her backpack on her back, turned around and walked up the mountain road.
Zhou Yamin looked at Tao Xiao's leaving back, snorted slightly, and was about to take out a cigarette, but suddenly remembered that smoking is not allowed here, so he put the cigarette case back irritably.
After staying bored for a while, he took out his mobile phone and began to search for hot spring hotels near the scenic spot.Looking at the price, it was a bit ridiculously expensive, Zhou Yamin gritted his teeth, and turned his attention to the cheaper farmhouses in the surrounding area.
He made up his mind that when Tao Xiao came down from the glass path, he would take people down the mountain to catch crabs and pick them. He tried to delay the time until the evening, and then he would have an excuse to live here.
……
Tao Xiao trotted along the mountain path and rushed up to the entrance of the glass path.
He wiped off his sweat, and couldn't wait to take a sip of water, and immediately went to the window to pay for the visit ticket set up separately for the glass walkway.
The aunt who bought the ticket looked at him, she seemed to be a little distressed, and asked, "Oh, young man, why are you sweating so much and running up here? What's the hurry, this plank road will only be closed when the sun goes down!"
Tao Xiao scanned the QR code to pay, and smiled at the aunt: "A friend is waiting for me below, I have to hurry up!"
After finishing speaking, he took the tour ticket, afraid of wasting time, he immediately trotted to the entrance of the plank road to line up - the glass plank road restricts the number of tourists, and he needs to line up for a short time, and they can only go up after confirming that there are tourists leaving on the other side of the plank road.
At this time, Tao Xiao's cell phone vibrated and received a WeChat message.
Shen Qiaohan sent a recorded audio.
While queuing up, Tao Xiao turned on the audio and put the phone to her ear to listen.
It was a piano and violin concerto that lasted more than three minutes. In the background, timpani beat simple drum beats, and the whole melody appeared very clean and clear.
Tao Xiao soon realized that this song was the arrangement version of the humming recording that Shen Qiaohan played to him in the car last Thursday.
Returning to the WeChat message interface, Tao Xiao saw the message sent by Shen Qiaohan following the audio: "Listen, do you like it?"
Tao Xiao raised the corners of her mouth and replied with a smile: "It's so nice! You can't write it in three days, so fast?"
Shen Qiaohan: "It's just a demo for the time being, and it still needs to be edited. I'm thinking about whether to write it into a symphony or make it into a song."
Tao Xiao: "Hey, I don't know the difference between the two. However, you became famous for writing symphonies. If you can change them to symphonies, then symphonies must be more in line with your positioning."
Before Shen Qiaohan could reply in time, it was Tao Xiao's turn to go up the glass path.
He immediately stepped forward following the call of the staff, stepped on the transparent hard ground, and walked forward slowly.
In fact, although the glass plank road in this scenic spot has such a name, half of the platform is covered with wooden boards.The wooden table is close to the mountain wall, and Tao Xiao guessed that it is a resting place for tourists who feel scared after walking halfway.
Tao Xiao is not afraid of heights at all. He walks on the half made of transparent glass, looking with interest at the bottomless cliff below.
The glass plank road turns a big arc around the top of the mountain, and a slightly larger platform is opened in the middle. The platform is all made of glass, and the end protrudes five or six meters away, which is farther away from the mountain wall and more exciting.
Tao Xiao took out his mobile phone and took a video of the plank road under his feet. While shooting, he walked to the end of the glass platform, and finally came a 180-degree panorama.
He leaned against the railing at the end of the platform, took a selfie with his mobile phone "click", clicked on WeChat, and prepared to send it to Zhou Yamin.
This place has gone around the back of the mountain, and the signal is a bit weak. The WeChat interface was stuck for a long time before I stumbled to open it. The message history was circling, but it hadn't been displayed yet.
A tourist behind wanted to take a group photo here, and asked Tao Xiao to let her sit. Tao Xiao didn't pay attention to the name at the top of the chat interface, and hurriedly sent the selfie and the video of the glass walkway, leaving the protruding part of the platform.
The mobile phone has been very quiet, Tao Xiao noticed that the network logo has disappeared, and only the last half-dead signal bar remains.So he didn't try to send any more messages. He only used his mobile phone to record videos and take pictures, and was going to send the rest to Zhou Yamin when he went down the mountain.
It wasn't until he walked around the glass plank road to the other side of the mountain that Tao Xiao's cell phone "lived" again, vibrating several times in succession.
Tao Xiao clicked on WeChat, but found that it was a message from Shen Qiaohan.
Shen Qiaohan: "Where is this?"
Shen Qiaohan: "Did you go out to play?"
Shen Qiaohan: "I now reasonably suspect that you are bullying me because I am afraid of heights."
Tao Xiao:? ? ?
Tao Xiao pushed up the chat history, only to find that he had actually sent the message to Shen Qiaohan, and wanted to withdraw it, but it was too late - more than ten minutes had passed since he sent the video and photos.
It's all because of the WeChat card just now!
Tao Xiao scratched her hair subconsciously, and quickly replied: "Sorry, I sent it to the wrong person!"
Shen Qiaohan: "The signal is not good on the mountain?"
Tao Xiao: "It's not very good. If you can't withdraw, just pretend you didn't see it." Added a kneeling expression.
Shen Qiaohan: "Where is it?"
Tao Xiao was walking, too lazy to type, so she simply changed her voice: "Yanxi Ancient Road. There are hot springs here, as well as picking, you can also catch crabs, and you can cook your own barbecue. The crabs are the fattest in autumn, and you can do it someday later. Come and play. Hehe, but I know, you must not dare to walk on the glass plank road! Hahaha, change it next time, let’s come here!"
After waiting for a while, Shen Qiaohan didn't reply immediately.
Tao Xiao sent the video and photos he just took to Zhou Yamin, and continued to walk down the mountain along Qingshi Road.
After walking for about 5 minutes, the phone vibrated, and Shen Qiaohan's message came again.
Shen Qiaohan: "Zhou Yamin asked you to go?"
Seeing this news, Tao Xiao was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Shen Qiaohan was too perceptive.
Before he replied, Shen Qiaohan's second message came again: "It's past five o'clock, do you still want to pick and catch crabs?"
Tao Xiao thought for a while: "Should go."
Shen Qiaohan asked again: "What time do you plan to come back?"
Holding the phone, Tao Xiao inexplicably sensed a little anxiety from Shen Qiaohan's series of questions.
Sure enough, before he could reply, Shen Qiaohan immediately sent another message: "If it's too late to find a car, I can pick you up."
Tao Xiao looked up at the sky and bit her lip lightly.
In fact, he still had some guesses about Zhou Yamin asking him to play so far away alone.But at the same time, he also knew that the current self would no longer have no resistance to Zhou Yamin's request.He can hold that line.
The reason why he decided to go to the appointment was because he wanted to leave some good memories with Zhou Yamin before he left the bar, hoping that in the future...
... what about the future?
When there was no reply, Shen Qiaohan became obviously anxious: "Tao Xiao, remember what you promised me."
Tao Xiao lowered her eyelashes and was about to reply when the message was suddenly withdrawn.
This was followed by a completely different new message: "You have fun. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
Tao Xiao stood on the bluestone road in the mountains, and stood there for a long time.
He looked at the western sky, at the sunset that was gradually meeting the foot of the mountain, exhaled slowly, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Shen Qiaohan: "Don't worry, I remember what I promised you, I can do it."
Even if the future is not good, he wants to try again one last time.
At last.
……
Shen Qiaohan sat in front of the piano, his fingers resting lightly on the keys, but he didn't press any notes.
He was in a daze, with his eyes slightly lowered, unconsciously looking at his own reflection on the flipped piano keys.
The phone rang with a "ding", waking him up from his daze. He immediately picked up the phone and saw the message from Tao Xiao.
Tao Xiao never denied that he went out with Zhou Yamin.
His last sentence was even tantamount to admitting this point.
Shen Qiaohan suddenly got up, walked around the living room, picked up the phone and didn't know what to reply, so he held it in his hand, walked back to the piano, but didn't have the mood to continue playing the piano, so he walked around the living room again lap.
Finally, he took a deep breath, went upstairs and changed clothes, came down in a hurry, took the car keys from the shelf, turned and went out...even forgot to close the key cover.
Shen Qiaohan sat in the driver's seat, turned on the phone's navigation, and entered the words "Yanxi Ancient Road".
When the mechanical voice of the navigation sounded, he supported the steering wheel and smiled wryly, and murmured hoarsely: "...that's ridiculous..."
After laughing at himself, he still started the car and drove out.
……
Tao Xiao came down the mountain road, but did not see Zhou Yamin at the meeting point.
He searched around, and finally picked up his mobile phone resignedly and dialed Zhou Yamin's number.
The phone was picked up quickly, and Zhou Yamin's voice was full of affection and tenderness: "Baby, are you down?"
Tao Xiao got goosebumps all over his body when he was called "baby". He subconsciously bared his teeth, shrank his neck, and asked, "Brother, where are you?"
Zhou Yamin replied with a smile: "Keep going down a little bit, there is a viewing platform, I met an acquaintance, and I was chatting with him! Come, let's go to the farmhouse for a self-service barbecue!"
acquaintance?Meet acquaintances here?
Tao Xiao wondered, and followed Zhou Yamin's prompt to walk down the mountain along the stone road.
After walking not far, a viewing platform paved with flat bluestone appeared in front of Tao Xiao.There is a shop selling small food on the platform, and there are several outdoor tables and chairs beside it.
Zhou Yamin was sitting on one of the stools, with a distorted smile on his face, talking to the other two sitting opposite him.
Seeing Tao Xiao approaching, the smile on Zhou Yamin's face spread exaggeratedly, and he stretched out his hand to say hello: "Baby, come, meet our acquaintance!"
Tao Xiao reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, enduring the inexplicable discomfort in her heart, and walked forward.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw clearly the person sitting opposite Zhou Yamin - Li Yanrui.
Next to Li Yanrui was a man he didn't know, with curly mohawk hair dyed orange, wearing a string of earrings, a long bamboo stick in his mouth, and his legs were cocked in a dawdly way, with a He hugged Li Yanrui's waist tightly.Seeing someone approaching, he picked Tao Xiao out of the corner of his eye and raised an eyebrow.
"Yo, this baby is pretty!" The yellow-haired man laughed, and bared his teeth at Zhou Yamin, "It is indeed more eye-catching than our Ruirui family, you have to watch this time, don't run away with others again."
Zhou Yamin was so angry that he turned his head to look at Tao Xiao who was standing beside him, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged the person on his lap.
Tao Xiao was so startled that his hairs stood on end, and he subconsciously wanted to struggle, but at this moment, he heard Li Yanrui making a "chi" sound.Li Yanrui looked at Tao Xiao viciously, his eyes were like two sharp swords, as if they wanted to pierce him right through.
Zhou Yamin felt Tao Xiao's tense body slowly relax, and proudly put his hand on his waist, making him sit still.
Tao Xiao ran up and down the glass plank road, sweating all over, her back was almost soaked, being hugged like this, with her cold and wet clothes sticking to her skin, it was very uncomfortable.
Zhou Yamin didn't expect that his hands were sweating, and his brows were slightly frowned, but he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Li Yanrui and him, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Brother, I'm sweaty," Tao Xiao quickly found an excuse, got up from Zhou Yamin's arms with a smile, and moved to the empty seat next to her, "Don't stain your clothes."
Zhou Yamin didn't stop her, turned her head and said with a smile: "Baby, I'm so attentive to my brother, my brother will reward you tonight!"
Tao Xiao suppressed the discomfort in her heart, forced a smile at Zhou Yamin, and looked at Li Yanrui involuntarily.
Li Yanrui's gaze was about to become real, and a murderous knife was condensed.
But obviously, he was afraid of the yellow-haired man next to him, so he didn't dare to say anything.
The yellow-haired man looked around among Li Yanrui, Zhou Yamin, and Tao Xiao with great enjoyment, reached out and took out the bamboo stick from his mouth, and knocked on the table.
"The grilled sausage sold here is really tasteless. Didn't you mean to go to the farmhouse to cook your own barbecue?" He seemed not to see the storm brewing between the three of them, and suggested with a smile, "It's not fun to eat barbecue if there are fewer people. Now we have gathered four people, just right! Shall we go now?"
Zhou Yamin immediately echoed with a wicked smile: "Success, no problem, let's go!"
As he spoke, he held Tao Xiao's hand and pulled him up.
Tao Xiao wanted to pull his hand out, but Zhou Yamin gripped it so tightly that it even hurt a little.
Zhou Yamin turned his back on Li Yanrui and the yellow-haired man, lowered his voice, frowned and reprimanded Tao Xiao: "Be good!"
Tao Xiao pursed her lower lip, letting Zhou Yamin pull her forward.
There is a total fire ban in the Yanxi Ancient Road forest area, so the farmhouses like eating barbecue buffets are located at the foot of the mountain, close to fish ponds and orchards, and according to the plan, they are connected in a row.
It took nearly 10 minutes to go down the mountain, and the sky was completely dark.Zhou Yamin and the yellow-haired man "chat" in a strange way all the way, but they were "nothing wrong" with each other, maintaining a strange superficial peace, which is simply unimaginable.
When they got to the street of Nongjiale, the two chose a place near the crab pond "politely", discussing how to get charcoal and various meat skewers - the barbecue buffet here needs to be grilled by oneself, and the fee is charged per head , Meat skewers, vegetables and seasonings can be collected in unlimited quantities from the kitchen.
So Tao Xiao, Zhou Yamin, Li Yanrui, and Huang Maonan, the wonderful foursome, actually got together and started a stove and started a barbecue.
Tao Xiao found an excuse to go to the stove to grill skewers alone, and while brushing the sauce, he felt that this date really left him speechless.
Especially this last development... He almost wondered if he actually fell asleep on the glass walkway on the top of the mountain and had an extremely absurd and unreasonable dream.
Seeing the calmness of the yellow-haired man, holding Li Yanrui in his arms, Zhou Yamin had a good drink with his "rival in love", so he didn't want to admit defeat at all.
If he gets angry because of Li Yanrui's "betrayal", it's like admitting that he has been robbed of his wife, so he must not be the first to lose his temper or leave the scene first.Not only can he not leave the field, but he also has to show Tao Xiao, the "incumbent", everywhere, so that the yellow hair on the opposite side can see that even if Li Yanrui runs away, there is still no shortage of people around him, and this person is even better!
At the same time, he also knew that Li Yanrui could not get used to Tao Xiao all the time, so why would he not take Tao Xiao angrily on Li Yanrui?
The yellow-haired man smiled and picked up a skewer from the table and fed it into Li Yanrui's mouth. Li Yanrui ate it with a smile.The yellow-haired man said, "You're so good", then leaned forward and took a bite of Li Yanrui's mouth.
In front of Zhou Yamin, the two kissed again and again, but their hands were dishonest, greasy and crooked, Zhou Yamin's heart suddenly burst into flames, and he was very angry.
Tao Xiao watched the three people on the table turbulently, and was very glad that he found an excuse to stay away.Even though the smoke from the oven is heavy and choking, it is far less pungent than the smell of gunpowder and sour on that table.
Today's date was ruined after all.
With his eyes lowered, he slowly brushed another layer of seasoning on the meat skewers, and put the half-baked part in a place with a low fire to heat it up slowly, his heart was actually peaceful.
The phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly, Tao Xiao wiped his hands, took it out and saw it was Shen Qiaohan's WeChat message.
Shen Qiaohan: "Are you playing night fishing or picking?"
It's getting dark, so what's the use of picking... Tao Xiao sighed, and replied helplessly: "I'm so miserable, I'm doing barbecue at the farmhouse."
Shen Qiaohan didn't send any more messages.
Tao Xiao silently finished grilling a plate of mutton skewers and a plate of chicken wings, and brought them to the table.
As soon as he put down the plate, Zhou Yamin grabbed his wrist.
Zhou Yamin dragged Tao Xiao to sit beside him, and said with a smile, "Baby, don't be busy all the time, how tired you are, come and eat something too."
As he spoke, he picked up a mutton skewer and handed it to Tao Xiao's mouth.
Tao Xiao refused with a smile: "It's just baked, it's too hot, let it dry before eating." Then he took a chicken gizzard that was roasted earlier, and took a bite.
Zhou Yamin's face darkened slightly, but he held back his temper and poured another glass of beer for Tao Xiao.
"You've been standing by the charcoal fire for so long, it's quite hot, come, drink something cool!"
This time, Tao Xiao reluctantly accepted the feed before it reached his mouth.
At this moment, Zhou Yamin's hand slipped onto Tao Xiao's waist.
Tao Xiao stood up abruptly: "The fire is still on, and there is a big plate of skewers, I'll go roast first..."
Zhou Yamin frowned, and lowered his voice a little: "What's the rush, first come and give my brother a hug!"
Tao Xiao ignored him, turned around and left.
Zhou Yamin's suppressed anger for a long time was finally ignited at this moment.
He jumped up and grabbed Tao Xiao's arm forcefully, pulled him around forcibly, and said angrily: "Can you be obedient? Ah? I brought you out just to let you cut my face?"
Of course Tao Xiao was also in a bad mood.
This date had such an absurd ending, he had been very patient before and tried very hard to save Zhou Yamin's face.But Zhou Yamin's performance in front of Li Yanrui made Tao Xiao both disappointed and disgusted.
"Zhou Yamin," Tao Xiao raised her face slightly, staring at Zhou Yamin's eyes, with a solemn tone, "I am not your tool, please respect me!"
"Fuck!" Zhou Yamin scratched his hair violently, "Why don't I respect you? I'll take you out to play, you should be obedient, so why don't I respect you?"
Hearing what he said, Tao Xiao's temper also rose.
He shook off Zhou Yamin's hand: "Did you bring me here to play, or to compete with them to be jealous? Are you naive?"
Seeing the old man with yellow hair sitting at the table and looking over with a playful smile on his face, Zhou Yamin only felt his head twitch.
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he didn't want to attract the attention of other tourists around him, so he lowered his voice and leaned forward: "Of course I'm taking you out to play! Is it what I want to meet them? Ah? You think I want to be there That little bitch made a fool of herself? If you were obedient, how could I get so angry with you?"
Tao Xiao bit her lower lip, chuckled lightly, and asked, "How should I be obedient? Let you hold me, let you kiss me, and then let you trick me into a hotel?"
Zhou Yamin cursed a dirty word, crossed his hips and panted for a long time, and said: "I just want to fuck you, what's the matter? You should be prepared for this when you promised to come out with me. I've already taken you out on a date, and you still refuse to let me Did I touch it? You said that you liked me before, was it a lie? Huh?"
Tao Xiao lowered her eyelashes and gave a wry smile.
He thought that today... at least a little bit, even a little bit of good memories, would be left behind.But I didn't expect that this "date" would be so bad from the beginning to the end.
It was his fault, he shouldn't have posted it upside down when he knew that Zhou Yamin had actually set up a trap.
But if emotional matters can be completely controlled by reason, then it is not called emotional.
At this time, the yellow-haired man over there suddenly raised his voice: "What are you two whispering? I said you too, and you can't even coax your wife? Let me tell you, don't worry about how angry he is, press the wall Give me a kiss, I'm sure you'll be fine right away!"
Then he snorted and pretended to be sorry
