Early in the morning, Chen Xu woke up, thinking that Yang Jinxia was sleeping in the next room, and felt somewhat strange.
At this time, it was still dark, and it was pitch black everywhere. When he heard movement from his parents' room, he waited a little longer until they went out before getting up.
He didn't turn on the light, and came to the door of Yang Jinxia's room in the dark, pushed lightly, and with a soft creak, the door opened.
Turning on the light in the room, the room was a bit messy, his mother had cleaned it up specially, but there were too many things in the room, and there was no other place to put them, so he could only tidy up a little.
Chen Xu walked to the bed and looked at Yang Jinxia who was lying there. She was sleeping soundly, she looked very different from usual, there was a strange tranquility.
Her breathing is very light, her hair is not messy at all, as if she has been sleeping in this position until now.
Chen Xu thought to himself, what kind of dream is she having now
He looked at her face and said softly, "Is that how you trust me?"
At this time, she was breathing very lightly, her face was pale, she looked bloodless, and she looked extraordinarily fragile.
"I don't know where your confidence comes from. Even though we haven't had much contact, you're so sure, I won't hurt you?"
Chen Xu sighed softly, "You are too gambler, what if you believe in the wrong person?"
Yang Jinxia can always do something beyond his expectations. In this dream, the two of them should have met no more than ten times, and they dared to come to his house alone to spend the night.
What on earth is she thinking
"Wake up." Chen Xu pushed her shoulder lightly, and could feel her body tense up, her long eyelashes trembled, and slowly opened her eyes, which seemed to still contain anxiety and anxiety. fear.
Yang Jinxia looked at his face, his eyes recovered, the whole person relaxed, with a smile on his face, "Morning." Saying that, he sat up, turned his head and looked out the window, saw that it was still not bright outside, and tilted his head Looking at him, "Come to my room so early, don't you want to do something bad to me?"
Chen Xu said, "Let's go for a run."
"No way, you woke me up in the middle of the night just to run?"
"It's past five o'clock, it's early morning. I'll go change and wait for you in the living room." After Chen Xu finished speaking, he left, and when he left, he closed the door.
Ten minutes later, Yang Jinxia changed her clothes and came out, and the two went downstairs for a run together.
...
"No... no way..."
Yang Jinxia didn't run for a long time before he became exhausted and stopped, pinching his waist with one hand and holding on to the telephone pole with the other, out of breath.
Standing beside her, Chen Xu glanced at his watch and said, "It's only been thirteen minutes, so you can't run anymore?"
Yang Jinxia shook her hands, just panting.
Chen Xu said with a smile, "I can see that you usually lack exercise. In the future, you will come out for a run with me more, and exercise well."
"Huh... I'm not doing it..." Yang Jinxia finally managed to catch his breath.
Chen Xu praised, "Look, your foundation is quite good. If you practice hard, you will soon improve your physique."
"No. I can just walk, you can run your way."
Seeing that she refused to say anything, Chen Xu didn't try to persuade her anymore. When he arrived at the park, he ran around in circles by himself.
Until dawn.
Chen Xu didn't know how many laps he ran before he finally stopped.
Yang Jinxia was sitting on a wooden chair by the side of the road, holding a bottle of sports drink in his hand, and when he came over, he handed it to him, saying, "You ran for more than an hour."
"Yeah." Chen Xu took the drink, unscrewed it and took a sip. Wipe off the sweat with a towel.
Yang Jinxia asked again, "Do you run like this every day?"
"Yes indeed."
"Can your body take it?"
"I'm in good shape." Chen Xu said, he had already finished his drink, threw it into the trash can opposite, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to our special breakfast."
...
After breakfast, the two went home.
"Pack up your luggage, I'll take you somewhere." Once home, Chen Xu said to Yang Jinxia.
"Where are you going?"
"You'll know when we get there." Chen Xu had already packed his things last night, just a backpack.
Yang Jinxia also quickly packed up, carrying the suitcase she brought when she came.
Chen Xu said goodbye to his parents, and took Yang Jinxia downstairs.
The car booked online was already waiting there, got in the car, and went straight to Chen Xu's hometown.
The journey is not too far, about thirty minutes. When the car drove into the country road and the surrounding area became more and more remote, Yang Jinxia asked, "Are you going to your hometown?"
"Well, go to my grandmother's."
"grandmother?"
"My parents used to be from the same village. After they got married, my grandfather moved to the county seat. Our family now lives in the house left by my grandfather. The house in my hometown is too old to live in. Every time I go back , they all live with grandma."
"So that's how it is."
Suddenly, a group of people beating gongs and drums appeared in front of them, and the car had to stop.
Yang Jinxia asked curiously, "What is this for?"
"Welcome to God."
Chen Xu explained, "On our side, the two most lively days are Qingming Festival, when basically every family will come back to visit the grave. Every village has to do it, and in some rich places, there will be some shows like dragon dances. It’s even more lively than New Year’s Eve.”
Yang Jinxia poked his head out of the car window, looking very interested in the welcoming team.
After a while, the team passed, and the car continued driving.
Finally arrived at Chen Xu's hometown, the village is still the same, but there are cars parked everywhere on the side of the road. It was very different from the usual deserted scene.
The ground is full of red confetti left by the explosion of firecrackers. The air still smelled of burnt gunpowder.
There are still many children on the road, setting off fireworks and firecrackers. Make a bang sound.
"Just stop at the intersection ahead."
Chen Xu told the driver that after the car stopped, he took Yang Jinxia out of the car, took their luggage, and came to grandma's house.
Outside the door, you can hear the voices of chatting inside. Once you enter the door, the room is almost full of people.
Yang Jinxia went in behind him, looking at the people in the room, looking very curious, followed Chen Xu and called out one by one, uncle, second uncle, uncle, and aunt, and then aunt, second aunt, aunt, uncle, etc. Wait. There are also uncles, uncles, etc. There are too many people to recognize.
Then, there are all kinds of cousins, cousins, cousins.
After finally greeting everyone, Chen Xu took her upstairs.
"We'll stay here at night." Chen Xu pushed open a door and said.
Yang Jinxia said, "Us?"
"Well, you also saw that there are so many people downstairs, there are no extra rooms."
