Zhang Man opened his mouth in surprise, can he really kiss a dolphin
The animal trainer explained the steps in her ear, and it turned out that it was not a real kiss, but a close proximity. She bent down slightly, and Bei Bei raised her little head in cooperation.
Zhang Man looked at its round head and was a little embarrassed, but the little dolphin was very enthusiastic, and pouted and bumped into her, only a short distance away from her.
Zhang Man also cooperated and pouted.
However, this action, the audience in the stadium seems to be kissing.
They cheered and raised their phones to take pictures.
…
When he returned to the seat, Zhang Man was still in a state of excitement, pulling the boy's sleeve and chattering: "...I thought it was just a handshake or something, but I didn't expect to be able to kiss the little dolphin. Li Wei, you just took a picture of me. Yet?"
"No shot."
The boy put his coat on her lap heavily, his voice hard, in stark contrast to her non-stop chatter.
Zhang Man turned his head to look at him, his face was hidden under the baseball cap, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
She held him carefully: "what's the matter?"
Why does he seem unhappy all of a sudden
"fine."
The boy's voice was muffled, and he coughed lightly to cover up the strangeness: "It's over, let's go out."
The two walked out with the crowd, the narrow passage was crowded with people, and the teenager hugged her waist and protected her towards the exit.
At this time, the hall was closing, and amidst the noise, a seven- or eight-year-old girl in the aisle asked her father timidly, "Dad, is the older brother in the hat sitting next to us just now, is it unusual? Do you like little dolphins?"
The man touched his daughter's little head and picked her up: "How do you know that little dolphins are so cute, how can anyone not like little dolphins?"
The little girl's voice was trembling, she buried her head in her father's shoulder, grabbed her father's collar tightly, and murmured in a milky voice: "I just know! That brother just doesn't like it, he just looked at Beibei. His eyes are so fierce, so scary, woohoo."
…
After watching the dolphin show, it was time to leave the aquarium. Zhang Man was led out of the aquarium by the teenager, and was surprised to find that the snow outside was already knee-high.
The heavy snow became more and more arrogant, and it couldn't be described by goose feather snow. The dense snow covered most of the sight, and the wind was blowing so hard that Zhang Man couldn't even open his eyes when he went out. The sea next to it has become foggy, and the sea horizon cannot be seen at all.
Blizzard is coming.
In fact, when it snows here in Z City, people generally don't use umbrellas. The snow is not like rain, and it doesn't melt quickly.
Teenagers are also used to not holding umbrellas.
But today, he unscrewed a large transparent umbrella and walked into the snow with his arms around her shoulders. The footsteps of the two of them stepped on the snow one after another, leaving deep and shallow footprints.
He held her so tightly that he didn't let her get the slightest bit.
Zhang Man suddenly felt a little dazed, and remembered some fragments in his mind.
The day of the second year of high school in the previous life, January 10, was also Li Wei's birthday.
She didn't go out to play, she sat at home, pulled the curtains and turned off the lights, and lay on the bed, not wanting to move. She didn't go to the living room until at night, when Zhang Huifang brought Zheng Zhi back for dinner. Only then did I realize that a blizzard was falling outside the window.
She turned on her phone and wanted to call Li Wei's house and ask him what he was doing on his birthday, but forced herself to stop.
How does he celebrate his birthday, what's it to her
Maybe someone had given it to him long ago, so it was her turn to worry about it.
There are some things she can never know anymore, for example, how did he celebrate his birthday that year.
Or, not at all
Under the transparent vaulted umbrella, Zhang Man's hand gently went around and hugged the boy's waist.
—Fortunately, fortunately, on his birthday this year, in this winter that is still snowing, she is by his side, under his umbrella, in his arms, and walks with him step by step in this snowflake.
…
The ticket back was at seven o'clock, and it was only more than an hour away from now. The two stood at the crossroads in front of the aquarium and took a taxi.
This year, taxi-hailing software is not popular all over the country. To take a taxi, you can only make an appointment by phone, or stand on the side of the road and beckon to stop the car.
The two waited for more than 20 minutes to get a taxi. The middle-aged driver in his 40s and 50s sighed at the blizzard outside, saying that if it wasn't for the road, he wouldn't want to take orders in such bad weather.
However, what was even worse was that when the two hurried to the long-distance station, they were told that today's shift was canceled due to heavy snow blocking the road.
Zhang Man reluctantly looked at the increasingly violent snowstorm outside the window, and suddenly remembered that he might be able to take the train back.
She immediately turned on her mobile phone and checked the train ticket timetable. The last train ticket back to N city would have to be tomorrow morning.
That is to say, no matter what, they both have to stay in Z city for one night, and she can't get the cake she gave Li Weiding in N city.
But, how can I stay... Zhang Man bit his lower lip, pinched his sleeve, and involuntarily began to flush.
In winter, the days are very short, only after seven o'clock, and it is already completely dark outside. At this time, the car lobby is full of people, all travelers who have bought tickets but can't go back.
In the waiting room, there is no space between seats. Several uncles directly occupied two or three seats by themselves, curled up and started to sleep, apparently planning to spend the night in the waiting room.
Unfortunately, it was late when Zhang Man and the others rushed over, and there was no seat available. The two stood under the central air conditioner in the waiting room, thinking about countermeasures.
Although there is air conditioning, the floor tiles in the waiting room are still icy cold. When the boy saw this, he pulled her over, put his hands over hers, and kept her warm.
Her physique is on the cold side, and it is definitely unrealistic to sleep on the ground for one night in such a cold weather.
Zhang Man pondered for a long time, and felt that she could only go to a hotel. She blushed, and then thought, it's a big deal to live in two rooms.
"Would you like to... go to a hotel?"
Hearing her proposal, the teenager coughed slightly, his voice a little dull: "Well."
The two didn't speak again and walked out awkwardly. After tomorrow, holding his hand and hugging him gradually became natural, but when it came to going to the hotel, it was still very embarrassing.
Zhang Man swears that she really didn't want to be crooked, but... This topic is really very strange for a couple of sixteen or seven years old.
She walked to the door and suddenly remembered: "No, Li Wei, do you have an ID card?"
She didn't have an ID card herself, and she did it before the college entrance examination in her previous life. If she didn't have an ID card, she shouldn't be able to stay in a hotel.
The young man was stunned when he heard the words, and after a while he reluctantly replied, "I have it, but I didn't bring it with me."
He lives alone, and it would be very troublesome to have no ID card, so in the second year of junior high school, he obtained the ID card with the certificate issued by the orphanage.
—It was all an accident, he never planned it, so... he didn't bring it either.
He was calm, opened his umbrella and hugged her: "Manman, let's go to the hotel and ask, maybe some hotels don't need it. The later the time, the harder it is to find."
The long-distance bus station is in the west corner of the city, far from the city center. There are few big hotels, but there are a bunch of express hotels with signs nearby.
The two walked to the nearest one, and the sign said "Jinshan Express Hotel". Pushing open the door, the decoration inside is the unique golden KTV style of this era, which is very tacky.
At the front desk was a young woman in her twenties with heavy makeup, with fiery red hair and a very beautiful profile. It's a pity that the makeup is too heavy and a little dusty.
She is leaning on the reclining chair to watch a soap opera that is very popular this year, and Zhang Huifang is chasing the updated one every day.
When she saw them coming in, she wasn't very enthusiastic, put her legs off the tripod, and sat a little more upright.
The woman took out the list with a blank face, pressed the automatic ballpoint pen, and didn't even look at them: "I'm lucky, there are two standard rooms who have canceled their bookings, do you want them?"
Li Wei nodded: "Well, both rooms are required."
He is not short of money, as long as she is at ease.
"ID card."
The young woman said mechanically again, this job is like this from beginning to end, repeating these words every day, like a repeater.
Zhang Man was a little embarrassed: "I didn't bring..."
The young woman finally raised her eyes and glanced at them lightly. Seeing the looks of the two, she probably judged their age.
But obviously she can encounter a lot of such things in a day, so she put down the list and pen indifferently, lay back on the reclining chair, and pointed to the door: "Turn left when you go out, go up the stairs, there is a small hotel on the third floor that does not require an ID card. Adults can live there.”
Her tone was flat, but the last three words "minor" were a lot more aggravated, and her tone also rose, obviously deliberately making fun of them.
Zhang Man's face flushed red... She immediately dragged Li Wei's sleeve and walked out, not daring to look back.
In her previous life, she was taciturn, did not like to socialize, and shrank in her closed life power every day. In fact, she had always been a thin-skinned person in her bones.
Can't stand this kind of fun.
She even thought about going back to the station for one night, but the blizzard and freezing temperature outside the door put her off.
Li Wei looked at her blushing face, a little funny, squeezed her palm to comfort her, led her to turn left, entered a unit door next door, and walked upstairs as the woman just said.
This building is obviously a private house. It is very old, like an old house built in the 1970s and 1980s. The lights in the corridor are too dim. Zhang Man looked carefully, and the handrails and light bulbs were wiped clean.
There was a big sign on the third floor with "Yunbin Guest House" written on it, and the boy led her inside.
This place is much simpler than the downstairs. The two tables are put together and it is the front desk. An old man with a big belly is playing a landlord game in front of the computer. Hearing someone coming in, he looked up at the two of them, his turbid eyes with some enthusiasm smile.
Much warmer than the female receptionist downstairs.
"Young people come to live in the store? There's only one big bed room left, can't you live there?"
Zhang Man's scalp went numb, the big bed room... She looked up at Li Wei and shook her head gently.
The old man was obviously very observant. Seeing that they didn't seem to want to stay, his face turned cold, and he said lightly, "There is a big snowstorm outside today, and the hotels near the station must be full."
He stretched his voice again: "And besides me, basically everyone needs an ID card, and children can't live there."
He also emphasized the word "children".
Zhang Man was completely numb.
Isn't it a big bed room...
"live!"
