Facts have proved that Chen Lin is really a good "tour guide".
After dinner, the two went to the riverside. The night view of the city had a unique flavor, with bustling crowds and many street singers.
Facing the cool breeze, we walked forward.
"Sister Shen Rou, do you want to try this? Local handmade yogurt." Chen Lin stopped in front of a stall and said to her, tilting her head.
"Then let's try it. I want two cups." Shen Rou twitched the corner of her mouth gently.
It doesn’t matter if it tastes good or not, just taste it.
"Eight yuan a cup..." Before the man finished speaking, Chen Lin interrupted, frowning, "It's obviously five yuan, grandma, you're ripping off the customer."
"Just five yuan, they sell it for eight yuan, so it's cheaper for you." Grandma gave them the spoons and sighed.
Chen Lin: “Originally it’s only five yuan, but other places sell it for four yuan.”
"Here." Shen Rou handed her a glass.
Chen Lin was embarrassed and said she wanted to pay the bill herself, but Shen Rou stopped her. It was only a few dollars, so she changed the subject, "Let's go over there and have a look. There seems to be a bridge over there."
"Yes, there are still a few internet celebrity check-in points. I will take pictures for you." Chen Lin ate yogurt, her eyes narrowed, and her face looked happy.
Shen Rou followed her and walked over. Chen Lin's steps were brisk and her eyebrows were curved. The youth and vitality released by the other person were something she had lost for a long time.
In the past, she had gone to see a movie with Ji Huai to get a cup of delicious milk tea. Even if they just wanted to save money, the two of them had a bowl of beef noodles together, and they were still very happy.
When did it start to change
I feel like there is only confusion and exhaustion in my life. I am always in a hurry to do everything. Day after day, I am exhausted physically and mentally. I have not felt happy for a long time. The only thing I can feel is tiredness.
"Sister Shen Rou, look at this." Chen Lin raised her voice slightly and pointed to the acrobatic performance in front of her with a hint of excitement.
The four-person group from Journey to the West was performing a show, and people around them gathered around. The music was playing. It was the most familiar piece from childhood, and it was quite exciting.
Shen Rou was watching in ecstasy when Ji Huai made a video call and she answered the call.
It was too noisy here, and she didn't hear what he said clearly. After hanging up, she sent him a voice message and hung up.
After a while, he replied: Be safe and let me know when you get back.
"good."
…
Chen Lin took her to check in at an internet celebrity store.
The cake was extremely expensive, and the milk tea looked good but was hard to swallow. The other party was taking photos of her, and she was very good at capturing them.
"Sister Shen Rou, that's it." Chen Lin made an artificial gesture and winked at her.
Shen Rou laughed out loud, her eyebrows raised, and she felt very happy.
"Keep it up, this smile is very gentle." Chen Lin took the opportunity to take several pictures, and then said, "Slightly lower your head and look at the cake. I will help you take a picture of the cake and expose the decorations on the side. Take more pictures, otherwise everyone else will If you don’t recognize where it is, let them know where it is and you can post it on Moments.”
Shen Rou was forced to take many poses, and the young man's tricky angles made her feel that she was out of date.
One night, Chen Lin ate, drank, and played with her, mainly taking pictures. She walked in front, chattering non-stop, talking about campus, travel, and the several relationships she had been in that ended in vain before they even started.
She asked casually, "Why is Sister Shen Rou traveling alone?"
Shen Rou: "Come out and relax."
"The last time I went to relax, I failed to express my love again." Chen Lin lowered her face and looked up at the sky. "Originally, I wanted to have a long, long love, but every time it ended before it started."
"What is supposed to come will always come." Shen Rou comforted her.
"No." Chen Lin calmed down, "Ever since I saw my sister in love, I don't want to fall in love at all. She is neither a human nor a ghost. Her temperament changes drastically when we have a quarrel. The key is that the person she likes doesn't like her very much, and she doesn't like her very much. It’s better for me to be single and free.”
"What I like is that I'm a doctor. I'm very busy. What's so good about me?"
…
After hearing this, Shen Rou was silent for a while and said softly, "My husband is also a doctor."
"I'm not saying that doctors are not good, but they are too busy. My grandfather is also a doctor." Chen Lin explained quickly and continued, "It was your husband who called me yesterday. He turned out to be a doctor. No wonder."
Shen Rou: "Huh?"
Chen Lin: "A very nice voice, just ask me to take you to play more. There is no special request. I just want to chat with you and talk. He said that he didn't have time to accompany you. I felt that he was quite helpless. No. There’s a way.”
"Your husband is so kind to you."
…
Shen Rou listened to her talk a lot and knew that Ji Huai made a special call to Chen Lin last night, and she felt unspeakable in her heart.
Sweet and sour.
She thought that Chen Lin had to go back to school, so she didn't go shopping until it was too late. She said she was tired at ten o'clock and asked the other party to go back first.
"See you tomorrow." Chen Lin said.
Shen Rou nodded and said goodbye to her.
When she returned to the hotel, she sent a message to Ji Huai, who quickly received a video call.
After being connected, his face appeared on the screen and a deep voice sounded, "Where did you go to play today?"
"Went to the riverside." She walked to the other end of the sofa and sat down.
Ji Huai: "How is it?"
"It's okay, the hot pot is delicious, and the night view is beautiful." She said, switching to the rear camera, "The night view from this location is also beautiful."
On the other end of the phone, Ji Huai came closer and looked at it carefully.
Seeing that he couldn't see clearly, Shen Rou stood up and walked to the window and pointed somewhere, "That's where I just went. It's not too far away and it's quite lively."
"Did you take pictures?" he asked.
"Well, I'll send it to you." She still liked the night view here. Seeing him ask, she felt the desire to share it and opened the photo album.
When choosing, I saw the photos Chen Lin took of herself. In my impression, she rarely took photos. When traveling with Ji Huai, he was absent-minded, let alone taking photos of her. There was nothing leisurely about it.
When she chose, she sent a photo of herself along with the scenery photo.
In the photo, she is sitting in front of the window, with exquisite pastries on the table. Her hands are slightly propped up on the table, revealing a side profile.
The lips are plump and bright red, the bridge of the nose is high and straight, the forehead is smooth and flawless, the neck is beautiful, and the hands are slender and white...
Chen Lin's photo retouching skills are nothing short of amazing, it has suddenly improved her by more than one degree.
"Let me take a look." Ji Huai said as he clicked twice on his phone, clearly swiping back one by one. Shen Rou became nervous, her palms became thinly sweaty, and she was filled with anticipation and apprehension.
"It's beautiful," he said.
Shen Rou: "...Yeah."
There was no response, so she really shouldn't have had any expectations.
Just when she felt bored and wanted to withdraw the photo, he looked at her and raised the corner of his mouth, "People are more beautiful than scenery."
Caught off guard, a blush appeared on her face, and the tips of her ears felt hot.
He added: "Is this the only photo you took?"
"still got more."
"Send it to me for a look."
…
There was a ripple in Shen Rou's eyes, and she carefully selected a few more photos and sent them to him.
"They all look pretty, not bad." Ji Huai was scrolling and looking at them, and asked from time to time, "Where did you take all these photos? They look very interesting, and this outfit matches well."
She became more eager to share, and continued, "On the other side of the river, there is an alley and some special snacks. On the other side, the commercialization is too serious, so I didn't go shopping for long."
"You can also walk around the bridge across the river. It's nice to take pictures there. You can also go to the observation deck, but I haven't gone there yet. It's too far and I don't want to go."
"The handmade yogurt is also very delicious. I haven't eaten hawthorn balls for a long time."
…
He listened carefully on the other end without any perfunctory tone.
Shen Rou couldn't help but said, "If you have time next time, I can accompany you again."
"Okay." He agreed quickly and with great interest.
The two chatted for a long time, just talking and sharing their daily life. Ji Huai also complained about what happened in the hospital today.
At this time, each other's mood is the most relaxed, just like returning to the time when they were most passionately in love.
When there is a desire to share and a topic to talk about, you can feel that two people are getting closer to each other.
During this period, Shen Rou was going to take a shower, while Ji Huai was doing work. He didn't hang up the video, so he put his phone on the bedside.
When she came out, she suddenly found that he had posted a new update, the picture was the photo she sent him, and he also collected the nine palace pictures.
He couldn't say anything romantic, so he captioned it: Remember to explore the road, you have to take me there next time. good evening.
An emoticon of the moon coming out was added at the end.
Shen Rou's heart trembled slightly at that moment. Their mutual friend had already commented below:
Chen Yang: "Oh, late night dog food, that's awesome."
Clear sky: "Shen Rou is getting more and more beautiful. Ji Huai, are you guarding the empty room alone?"
Li He: "Hahaha, the relationship is still so good after so many years? It's rare to show affection, not bad, not bad."
…
Ji Huai doesn't often post on WeChat Moments, and occasionally forwards some medical articles. He doesn't like to show affection, so he didn't send it when he received his marriage certificate.
The wedding was not held, and many people thought they had broken up.
Such a show brought out a lot of people.
Of course, she could only see a few, because they didn't have many friends in common, and he was probably crazy. During the chat, Ji Huai sent her a few screenshots.
His expression was very puzzled, "I can't even reply, so what? Forget it, I won't reply."
Immediately afterwards, he wrote a unified reply below: I am married, the wedding is not held, so I didn’t invite you. Shen Rou went to city A, and I was at home. Thank you all for your blessings. "
Shen Rou: "..."
Because of his enthusiasm, Shen Rou called him early the next morning and began to wonder where to go.
On the way to work, he whispered: "You go to have breakfast first, just eat their most popular handmade noodles, and then go play in the afternoon."
"You can go to Nancheng tonight. I have only booked a hotel here for you for two days. I will book a hotel there for you later. It will be more convenient for you when you go to play later."
"It's more lively over there. I searched for guides and many people said that the ethnic village over there is also quite fun."
…
He began to respond to her everything, giving Shen Rou the most direct feeling that someone cared about her, and she was more willing to share with him, and she did not refuse his arrangements.
