She seems to suddenly have more confidence in her heart.

Tao Xi's nervousness just now was swept away, she looked away, took a sip of coffee calmly, in this short few seconds, she slowly remembered the content written down in the notebook yesterday.

She raised her head, met Shangsu editor's gaze, and said generously: "I thought about it, in fact, I would like to write about the male protagonist's career problems, which caused the whole person to be a little depressed, and the female protagonist's unwavering company By his side, help the hero to get out of this haze quickly, so that you can point out the idea of ​​the whole novel again, love is the light of life." "Want to start with psychological problems?"

"Yes, each of us In fact, there are low tides in life, and in such difficult times, if there is a significant other who can comfort and encourage you, it will be easy to get out." Taoxi became more generous and natural.

"Then I'll wait for your physical episode, and there are still parts that need to be revised in the published manuscript. I'll contact you on WeChat at that time." As he said, Editor Su stretched out his hand, and continued, "I wish us a happy cooperation, and I wish you in advance The physical book is very popular."

Tao Xi held Editor Su's hand and said, "Thank you."

After saying goodbye to Editor Su, Tao Xi packed her bag, and she walked slowly to Shang Huaiqing's side, and sat in his opposite.

With her elbows on the table, she looked at his new hair color with great interest: "When did you dye your hair?"

Shang Huaiqing imitated her, and approached her with his elbows on the table: "This morning, dye your hair." I rushed over after posting."

Tao Xi bit her lower lip, but the smile couldn't stop spreading from the corner of her lips: "It's a coincidence, I happen to be here too."

"Yeah." Slightly raising the end of her eyes, she looked into her eyes and said, "Who made our fate so deep? There are so many cafes in this city, but I met you in this one." How could it be such a coincidence, didn't you come here on

purpose of.

Watching him act, Taoxi didn't expose him, but she didn't cooperate with him to say any nasty words. She just looked into his eyes and remembered that when she saw him just now, her whole body was full of strength. Panic.

It should be a very happy thing, but for some reason she has a sore nose, even a little pessimistic, fearing that if she relies too much on Shang Huaiqing's goodness, one day she has to quit, her whole world will collapse.

After all, wanting to grow old with someone has always been a luxury in the world of impermanence.

"What are you thinking, why don't you talk?"

Tao Xi was still looking into his eyes, she put away her thoughts, and a smile appeared in her eyes: "I was wondering what color your hair was dyed. "

Shang Huaiqing flicked his hair a few times with his fingertips at random: "It seems to be milk tea color, but I really don't remember what color it is. At that time, I only looked at the color card." Taoxi propped his chin with one hand:

" The new hair color is very nice, is it specially dyed for the new script?" "

No." Shang Huai took a sip of coffee and said, "The previous silver-gray was too eye-catching, so I want to change the hair color, but the new script is true. Decided on one."

"Did you decide on a new script so soon?"

"It's not too fast. In fact, I have been in touch with new scripts since I finished it."

Taoxi nodded: "How long will it take?" The crew?"

Shang Huaiqing thought for a moment, and replied to her: "It will start in September, but this time the film has a very special theme, so the crew had a closed training camp for more than a month before shooting." "More than a month, now

six There are only a few days left." Tao Xi thought about the time in his mind, and then asked him, "Does that mean you have to leave in mid-July?" "Well, we still have half a month to be together.

"

"It's not half a month." Tao Xi said sullenly.

"Do you have something to leave Qingbei?"

Tao Xi shook his head: "I'm going to start editing the manuscript, I'm going to write an online serialized episode, and a physical episode, so I can only be with you for a few days in June."

" Like this, that's okay, something is better than nothing, think about it now, is there any place you want to go in particular." Shang Huaiqing held her hand and said in a low voice, "I'll go with you."

Tao Xi replied without much thought: "I want to go to a small town in the south that we agreed before." "Go to

my hometown, a typical small town in the south of the Yangtze River." Shang Huaiqing also almost blurted out.

Tao Xi nodded: "Yes, that's how you invited me back then."

While speaking, Tao Xi's eyes lighted up subconsciously. Although she hadn't set off yet, she had already begun to look forward to it.

Going to the Jiangnan town that I have longed for for a long time, or going there with my close boyfriend, just thinking about it, the feeling of happiness can overwhelm all other emotions.

"Then how about we go back today to pack our luggage, book a flight ticket, a hotel, and then leave tomorrow?" Shang Huaiqing planned like this.

You could tell he was also very happy.

"What about the cats, leave them alone?" Tao Xi joked.

Shang Huaiqing broke away from the joy just now, and suddenly realized: "I almost forgot them, it's okay, I will take Niannian together to me, Jiang Chen can help watch." Taoxi didn't speak, but couldn't help

laughing down.

He didn't remember what the cat looked like just now, and it reminded her that when he came back from the film crew earlier, he was only talking to himself, but forgot to look at his cat, which was exactly the same as his current appearance.

I feel a little fond of his three cats.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, I'm just wondering if your three cats will hate you, you don't seem to remember them all the time."

Shang Huai smiled with his lower lip suddenly, his eyes full of peach blossoms. Looking at the figure, she said ambiguously: "As long as you are in front of me, it is difficult for me to notice other things, and it seems that I can't even remember anything."

Meat. numb.

Tao Xi couldn't stand his nasty words, so he continued to joke: "Don't let Hui Hui and the others hear your words, or they will hate you to death." "Maybe they will ignore you in the future."

Tao Xi Continue to make up the knife.

Shang Huaiqing took out her mobile phone: "It's okay, I still have you."

In the end, her last shot was still defeated by his slut.

"Should we book a hotel in advance, but it's more convenient to stay in a B&B in the small town." Saying this, Shang Huaiqing opened the commonly used travel software.

"Homestay?"

"Yes, it's very convenient now, short-term rentals are available for two or three days, there are indigenous houses with yards, and small single rooms in buildings." Shang Huaiqing replied.

Taoxi became interested, she leaned forward slightly, and half-lyed on the table to look at Shang Huaiqing's cell phone, but before she could look at it, she saw him get up and sit on the seat to her left.

So that it would be easier for her to look at his phone.

Tao Xi snuggled up to him, scratching the phone screen with her fingertips: "Look, this house is quite clean, let's live here, two bedrooms and one living room, then we can have one room per person.

" Xi turned his head and looked over, Shang Huaiqing supported his chin with one hand, didn't look at her, but didn't speak, just looked down at the phone screen.

Tao Xi elbowed him and said, "Why are you standing there and not talking?"

Shang Huai tilted his eyes slightly, and swipe the screen with his fingertips: "Actually, I think this is more suitable for us."

Tao Xi joined in doubt Take a look in the past.

The title of the B&B displayed on the screen is bold and black: Romantic and sentimental couple suite.

There is also a line of small words below: May your relationship warm up in the cabin of love, and the sweet memories will last forever.

Tao Xi reached out and touched the side button of the phone, and the screen went black.

"Don't like it?"

Taoxi didn't look at him, but mumbled sullenly: "Well, if you like it, you can live alone, and I live elsewhere."

Shang Huaiqing scratched his forehead with his long fingers: " It's not suitable for me to live alone."

After speaking, he unlocked the phone with his fingerprint, and then said: "Okay, then I'll listen to you, I'll live in the two-bedroom and one-living room just now, one person per room, I'll pay directly." Taoxi

secretly He breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah."

Shang Huaiqing didn't tease her anymore, after booking the homestay, he directly booked the flight for tomorrow afternoon.

"Okay, the hotel and flight are all booked." Shang Huaiqing put away his phone.

Taoxi snuggled up to him, next to him: "What shall we do next, go home and pack?"

Shang Huai tilted his head and touched her head: "You decide, you can go home, or go shopping again." Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Then let me think about if there is anything I need to buy in advance." Taoxi thought for a while, and there seemed to be nothing to buy.

The last time she went to Tanshang Huaiqing's class, she prepared a lot of equipment for a long-distance trip. In addition, as the end of the month was approaching, her period was over, so she didn't need to prepare girls' supplies too much.

"Do you have a raincoat?"

"No, only an umbrella." After answering, Taoxi asked him, "Why did you suddenly mention a raincoat?" "It's the

June rainy season in the south, and there are many rainy days, but it doesn't delay playing. I want to take you to the bamboo forest that I used to go to when I was young, it will be very interesting to go there on a rainy day, but it is more convenient to wear a raincoat than an umbrella." Shang Huai returned to her patiently.

It sounded very interesting, and Taoxi couldn't help but excitedly said: "Then let's go buy a raincoat now." "

Okay, buy a couple's style, and the kind with small ears on the hat."

Young. immature.

Tao Xi ignored him, just stood up and put the bag on her shoulder.

Shang Huaiqing took her hand and left the cafe side by side with her.

The second half of the day passed quickly. After buying raincoats in the mall, I went shopping in other stores, had dinner, and when I walked out of the mall, it was already dark.

The day passed by in the blink of an eye.

The next day, Taoxi followed Shang Huaiqing on the flight to the south.

After flying for about two and a half hours, the plane landed at the airport of a certain city in the south, but it was still some distance away from Yuhuai Town, Shang Huaiqing's hometown. Fortunately, it was not too far away, and it took about half an hour to arrive there by car. .

Along the way, Taoxi couldn't help looking at the scenery outside the car window. Compared with the vast and empty north, the south side is full of mountains, rolling and rolling, covered with large green plants, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Arriving at Yuhuai Town, getting off the car, a burst of fresh sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance came over my face. Taoxi stood beside the car and looked into the distance. The light smoke is like a dream like a landscape painting, but the blue modern buildings are placed in it, and it quickly pulls people into reality.

But it still makes people feel the rare peace away from the hustle and bustle of the world from the bottom of their hearts.

After Shang Huai paid the fare, he pulled the suitcase and walked to Taoxi's side, seeing that she was lost in thought, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of her eyes: "Why are you looking so lost in thought?"

Tao Xi casually pointed to the distance : "I'm looking at the building over there. Those who live in it should be able to see the nature every day by opening the window." "

Well, it's really good, but there are a lot of mosquitoes in summer." "That's true

."

After speaking, the two of them pulled their suitcases and walked towards the previously booked homestay.

There were very few people on the road, and there were basically no vehicles to be seen. Even a taxi had to wait for ten minutes before finally seeing one.

This small town is really a bit isolated and slow-paced.

Arriving at the B&B, we put down our respective suitcases. It was almost evening, and the sky was getting darker. It seemed that the rain was about to fall. It was estimated that there would be a heavy rain at night.

After Shang Huaiqing simply packed his luggage, he walked to the door of Taoxi's room and knocked on the door: "Let's go out for a stroll now, and then find a small shop for dinner." "Will it rain in the evening?"

Taoxi Xi took an umbrella from the suitcase and came out.

Shang Huai folded his arms and shrugged slightly: "It's hard to say, it's safer to bring an umbrella."

Seeing Taoxi approaching, he naturally reached out and took the umbrella in her hand, and then freed up another umbrella. With one hand, he took her.

When I went out, I felt the drizzle brushing over my face, it was so cool that it dried off my cheeks, and I didn't need an umbrella.

"It's really raining, but it's just a drizzle." Tao Xi stretched out his hand, and as soon as the little drops of rain fell on his palm, they disappeared.

"Don't you use an umbrella? It's very humid now during the rainy season."

"It won't be too late to fight when it rains heavily. It's very comfortable like this now." Tao Xi looked at him with a pure smile on his face, and continued, "At worst, I'll change into clean clothes when I go back." Shang Huai

smiled Looking back at her with a smile: "Okay, I listen to you."

Crossing a narrow street and walking forward, you can see rows of quaint houses in front of you. Against the backdrop of the buildings next door, they look even more old and simple.

But like a long-lived centenarian on the side of the road, the wrinkles on his body or the back of his hand are full of memories of the past.

After chatting about the drizzle just now, Shang Huaiqing didn't speak any more. Taoxi thought he would tell her some memories of his childhood, but walking all the way, the people next to him were surprisingly quiet, and she couldn't help turning her head to look past.

He was looking ahead, his face was indifferent, without much emotion, but in such a cloudy day with intermittent rain, he seemed to be able to feel the melancholy hidden in his eyes in a trance.

Tao Xi slowly turned his head again, and looked forward together with him, remembering the night before when he watched the fireworks on New Year's Eve, he opened up to himself and told the painful experiences of those years. I have completely let go of it, but now that I revisit the old place, I should have mixed feelings in my heart.

He didn't say anything, and she didn't ask any more questions. She just held his hand tightly and quietly stayed by his side.

It wasn't until we crossed that street and walked to the business district that we finally heard Shang Huaiqing speak: "I remember you like fried rice noodles, so I want to take you to try the authentic fried rice noodles in the south." "The taste is very different from that in the north.

" How much?"

"The taste is actually the same, but there are more ingredients here, and it tastes delicious."

Taoxi leaned close to him: "Actually, I want to try the southern rice noodles." "

Look at that store , I've been here since I was in elementary school for so many years, although the facade has been renovated, but the store is still there, and there are all kinds of noodles inside." Shang Huaiqing casually pointed to a rice noodle shop in front of him, and continued, "But I still I highly recommend you to try his rice noodles, but if you want to eat rice noodles, then we will order one each." "

Okay." Taoxi replied happily.

The two of them crossed the road and walked into the store.

In a small shop with not many people, there are empty seats everywhere, and there are no waiters. When you enter the door, you will see the young proprietress approaching: "Here you are, what do you want to eat?"

Shang Huaiqing took Taoxi and sat down with her. Then he directly replied: "A bowl of fried rice noodles, and a bowl of fried rice noodles."

"What else do you want to drink?"

Taoxi looked up at the menu on the wall: "I want to drink Arctic Ocean."

"Then two more drinks." A bottle of Arctic Ocean."

"Two bottles of ice?"

Shang Huai turned his head to look at Taoxi: "Ice?"

"Yes, yes."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the proprietress didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to take it from the freezer. After taking out two bottles of iced Arctic Ocean, she opened the bottle caps with a screwdriver, and she came back and put the two opened bottles on the table: "The straws are on the table, and the rice noodle noodles will be fried for you." "

Okay Thank you." Shang Huaiqing took out two straws and put them into two bottles of Arctic Ocean.

Holding the drink in both hands, Taoxi leaned forward and took a sip: "This proprietress looks quite young." "

She should be the boss's daughter-in-law." Shang Huaiqing wiped the table with a tissue and continued, "This store The owner is a husband and wife, both of them should be in their fifties now, at the beginning it was just a roadside stall, and gradually opened up a store.

" It's over." Tao Xi put his hands on the stool and took another sip of his drink through the straw.

Some customers began to come to the store one after another, and the small store gradually became lively.

The sky outside was gradually getting darker, and the street lamps were turned on, lighting up the whole town. The rain hadn't stopped yet, and the falling rain shreds were dyed with light. In the mid-air of the dark night, they fell like fireworks.

After eating rice noodles, when we walked out of the store, the rain was getting more and more urgent. There were no pedestrians and vehicles on the road. In the quiet town at night, only the sound of rain was left.

Shang Huai opened his umbrella and held Tao Xi in his arms: "At this time, and in addition to the rainy weather, it is difficult to hail a taxi, let's just walk back."

Tao Xi approached him: "Okay, anyway . Not far."

"Then let's go."

Shang Huai hugged Tao Xi tightly and walked into the rain together.

The road from home is not too far away, but because the rain is getting heavier and heavier, it is difficult to walk, and even the closest road becomes farther away.

Walking along the way, I heard the noise of raindrops falling on the umbrella. Even though I was holding an umbrella, there was still rain on my body. There were shallow puddles everywhere on the road. It sticks to the feet softly, all kinds of things can't help making people feel irritable.

But even so, Taoxi's heart was still bright and clear, and she didn't feel a little restless.

Ever since he walked into the heavy rain, Shang Huaiqing has been holding her tightly in his arms, and most of the umbrellas are leaning towards her to protect her. The love he gave her is too thick, even blatantly, it has already surpassed the present All unhappiness.

Back to the residence, close the door, the heavy rain outside is still noisy outside the window, but the house is very quiet.

Taoxi turned on the light and was standing at the entrance to change her shoes, when she saw that Shang Huaiqing's T-shirt was half wet, she directly suggested, "Go take a shower first."

Shang Huaiqing put away Umbrella, looked down at the T-shirt on his body, as if he didn't care too much, he looked up at Taoxi again: "It's okay, you wash it first, I'll go after you finish washing." "No more."

Taoxi Xi had already put on her slippers, she took the umbrella from Shang Huaiqing's hand, and put it casually at the door, then said, "Your clothes are all wet, it's uncomfortable to wear, and you'll catch a cold easily." "That's right.

" Shang Huaiqing responded casually.

After finishing the words, he didn't turn around, only saw him tugging at the neckline with one hand, and took off the T-shirt on his body after three or two strokes.

Then I saw him casually hanging the wet T-shirt on the hanger next to him, and said lazily: "It's really uncomfortable if it's sticky.

" Mou, pretending to squat down, arranged the shoes she had just changed, and then she got up, without looking at Shang Huaiqing, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going back to my room first." "Yes." Shang Huaiqing

responded With a sound, he sat down on the chair in the entrance.

Originally, he was going to change his shoes, but he didn't move after sitting down. He just sat there lazily, looking at Tao Xi who was about to pass by him with cool eyes.

Seeing the blush on her fair cheeks, in this dark and narrow entrance, that blush was particularly ambiguous and seductive, and it made him feel itchy in his heart. There was an unknown smile on his lips, and when she was about to As he walked over, he reached out and held her slender wrist.

Tao Xi stopped, she turned her head, and saw Shang Huaiqing was still sitting there, slightly raising his upper eyeliner, looking at her side.

Shang Huaiqing didn't speak, just held her wrist and pulled her gently into his arms.

Taoxi couldn't escape, after being pulled by him, she sat on his lap just like that.

When she fell into his arms, she hugged his shoulders almost subconsciously, and her eyes looked over in a panic, but they just happened to meet his eyes that were as light as green smoke, cool, like a hunting dog. Like a male goblin, she looked at her little prey calmly.

Then suddenly, the male goblin raised his lips and smiled again: "Isn't it normal to sit on your boyfriend's lap? What are you afraid of?"

Tao Xi avoided his sight and ignored him, only feeling uncomfortable all over her body. Free, but unable to escape from him.

Before he recovered, he felt him getting closer to her ear, his voice was low and cool, mixed with the noisy rain outside the window, he teased her ambiguously and affectionately.

"Afraid I'll eat you?"

Author's Note : Wet T-shirt: Damn it, put it on for him.
