the next day,
When the breeze opened the gauze, Lu Yin woke up.
After waking up, I didn't have many hangover symptoms, only my scalp was slightly swollen. Yesterday's memory was broken, and I stopped sitting across from Lu Qiang, and kept refilling her wine. As for what the two of them talked about, I have no memory at all. No.
Lu Yin patted her forehead and lay on the bed for a few minutes, until her stomach protested before getting out of bed to look for something to eat.
Standing up with her bare feet touching the ground, she paused, and the cold feeling of the floor rushed from the soles of her feet to the back of her head. Out of the corner of my eye, a pile of clothes was thrown on the ground. The white vest, shorts and black coat belonged to her.
Lu Yin's feet went limp, she sat back down again, and lowered her head abruptly. She was only wearing the tightest clothing on her body. Her white, naked skin, and flesh were almost transparent under the light. The two pieces of fabric only covered the most important parts, which was better than nothing.
Lu Yin opened her mouth in surprise, her heart was beating wildly, her hands tightly clutched the bed sheet, and it took five minutes before she calmed down a little.
She tried to move her body, and everything was normal, and she didn't feel any discomfort or abnormality. Lu Yin slapped her thigh hard, regretting that she let down her vigilance yesterday and was drunk by him. That man is vicious by nature, what kind of good intentions can he have, even if nothing happened, how good can she be in this attire
After sitting still for a while, she bent down and picked up the clothes on the ground, turned them down, it was still damp. Looking upset, they lumped them together and threw them directly into the washing machine.
The dining table in the living room has been cleaned up, and there is only one glass on it. Lu Yin smelled it, and it was clear water.
She put it in the kitchen sink, and glanced at the newly replaced water valve. The silver surface distorted her, and she couldn't help but think about the man who stood here yesterday to repair the water valve. Under the simple sweater, his back was like a mountain, and his arms were strong. Tall and tall, looking into his eyes, you need to look up...
Lu Yin was in a daze for a long time before realizing that she was still holding the cup in her hand. She bit her lower lip, despising herself in her heart. He originally planned to find some leftovers and eat them warmly, but only saw half a plate of peanuts. He ate up all the dishes from yesterday, and the porcelain plates were neatly stacked on the shelf.
She stood in the kitchen for a while before changing her clothes and going outside to look for food.
…
It has entered September, the weather is not as sultry as before, the sun is still shining brightly, but the occasional wind is cool.
Lu Yin went out of the doorway, subconsciously raised her hand to cover the sun, and within two steps, she caught sight of the man. Lu Qiang was squatting on the flower bed, smoking a cigarette, his heels were not firmly planted, his elbows were on his knees, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and his gaze was already cast to this side.
Lu Yin was at a loss for a moment, she straightened her back to conceal, pretended not to see, and walked around the flower bed. At that quick glance, she felt that he was a little special today, too hurried, and couldn't tell the difference for a while.
Lu Qiang kept following her with his eyes, and she walked over, but he didn't move, and took a few puffs of the cigarette in his hand, crushing the cigarette butt on the cement surface.
She had walked more than ten meters before Lu Qiang stepped down from above and caught up with her in a few steps.
He turned his head: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Lu Yin ignored it.
He smiled: "I'm afraid you'll catch a cold, so I take off all your wet clothes for you."
Lu Yin's breathing was stagnant, and she stopped suddenly. He took an extra step, stopped, and looked back at her.
Lu Qiang looked innocent: "Let's go."
"you… "
"how do I?"
Lu Yin's cheeks were flushed, and she glared angrily at the person in front of her, "... what did you do?"
Lu Qiang deliberately teased her, and swept her body recklessly: "What should be done and what should not be done, I have done everything."
After a few seconds: "...you lied."
Lu Qiang said: "It's useless to lie to you. You are so virtuous, I don't do anything, I am still a man?"
Lu Yin's face turned from red to white, her eyelashes trembled, and she was speechless for a long time.
Seeing her expression, Lu Qiang asked, "Do you believe me?"
Lu Yin's eyes moved.
"Don't know how to tease?" He pushed her forward: "If you really do it, can you stand here today?"
"you… "
"If there's nothing wrong with it, just take off your clothes and take a look at it at most."
Lu Yin's ears burned up, and under the bright sun, she was light and dizzy. She secretly bit her lip for a while, still somewhat afraid of him, so angry that she didn't speak.
This man successfully refreshed her offline, not only rude and fierce, but also shameless and shameless at times. He speaks freely and can say anything, let alone knowing which is true and which is false.
Lu Qiang followed her out: "Where are you going?"
Lu Yin lowered her head, and from the corner of her eye, she saw the big feet next to her, wearing a pair of plain flat shoes, and couldn't help but glance at him sideways, only then did she realize how different he was today.
He finally changed out of his casual attire and wore a pair of black sports trousers. His legs were too long and his ankle bones were exposed. The old undershirt on his body has also been changed, it is a soft round neck T-shirt, wrapped around the upper body, the arm muscles are protruding, the chest muscles are well developed, and the waist is strong and thin.
He had just had his hair cut, a short layer, close to the scalp, looking energetic and sharp.
Lu Yin only glanced at it, then quickly retracted her gaze.
Lu Qiang: "What about you?"
"… Have a meal."
He said: "That's right, let's go together, I didn't eat enough last night."
"..."
The two had breakfast, and they were done in less than ten minutes.
Lu Qiang asked, "Are you going home?"
Lu Yin said 'hmm', walked towards the gate of the community, walked a few steps, saw that he was still following, Lu Yin turned her head: "Are you going to work?"
"Night class."
She opened her mouth, "Then this is..."
Lu Qiang said, "Go somewhere with me."
Lu Yin pointed to herself: "Me?"
He didn't look at her, and just said "hmm" casually. I happened to pass by the bus stop, and there were cars coming and leaving one after another.
Lu Qiang stood by and looked at the stop sign, Lu Yin wanted to slip away, but he grabbed her wrist and carried her back.
Lu Yin tugged, "I don't..." He didn't finish his sentence, he supported her waist, and lifted her onto the long-distance bus that had just entered the station.
The car body reads, "Xinli Passenger Station - Qiluo Mountain", and their direction is to Qiluo Mountain.
Lu Yin turned away from him, turned around to think about it, but was blocked by Lu Qiang.
She protested softly: "I won't go."
Lu Qiang frowned and scolded softly: "Be honest and stay for a while."
There were not many people in the car, so I paid the money and sat in the back seat.
Lu Yin was reluctant: "There is no one in that place, what are you doing? I don't want to go."
"Who said there is no one." Lu Qiang sneered, opened the window on her side, the car started, and the breeze sent a light fragrance.
"... I'm going down."
Lu Qiang stood outside, folded his arms, closed his eyes, and didn't care about her at all.
Lu Yin was out of breath and pushed him, but the people outside didn't move at all, and didn't even open their eyes.
Lu Yin glared at her, but got no response, and finally leaned back on the back of the chair in frustration.
At this time, the morning sun was just right, and wisps of it passed through the building, through the treetops, through the transparent glass, and sprinkled on the two of them.
Lu Qiang closed his eyes and curled the corner of his lower lip. The fine light fell on his face, and the overly hard facial features softened.
***
Qiluoshan is the terminus, and not many people get off here.
After an hour of bumping, it finally stopped at the foot of the mountain.
This is the border between Zhangzhou and Hongyang. Lu Yin has never been here before, and only passed by here on a business trip to Hongyang the year before last. This mountain is not high, but it has huge ups and downs, covered with dense green vegetation, and the air is humid, even the sunlight is very thin here.
Lu Qiang walked forward, looked around, and remained silent for a while.
Lu Yin followed a few steps: "What are we doing here at Mount Qiluo?"
"Let's relax."
"What's the fun here?"
Lu Qiang told her: "Bungee jumping."
Lu Yin was startled and paused. Lu Qiang asked, "Have you ever played with the jumping machine? It's similar to that."
"I've played with it," Lu Yin said, "but the jumping machine is only a dozen meters away."
"This one is not high, the vertical height of the mountain is only about 20 meters, you can try it later."
Lu Yin didn't believe it: "Isn't bungee jumping over 50 meters?"
"Who told you that?" Lu Qiang glanced at her disdainfully: "This is low."
"You came before?"
After a while, he said, "I came here when I was young."
The two walked another few hundred meters, bypassed a small hill, and saw the cable car going up the mountain. There is bungee jumping here, she has only heard of it before, because it started early and is located in a remote place, few people usually come here, and they all go to the newly built watchtower in Qibaili.
They went up quickly, and the distance was only two minutes. As he said, the mountain was not high. Lu Yin was a little tempted and wanted to give it a try.
Still hesitating and struggling, but unable to withstand his repeated instigation. Impulsively, when she tied the jump rope and equipment belt and stood on the tower, she grabbed the railing and stopped moving.
One side of Qiluo Mountain is a mountain, and the other side is a cliff. The tower is built on the top of the mountain, protruding horizontally towards the cliff, 20 meters from the ground level, and 70 meters from the bottom. The clear water under the cliff is tightly surrounded by mountains, with slight ripples, calm and peaceful.
Lu Yin clung to the railing and didn't let go. There was an endless abyss beneath her feet. The clear water was like a vortex, swallowing people up in seconds.
The staff behind him explained the essentials of the movements in detail, but Lu Yin seemed to have tinnitus and couldn't hear anything clearly.
The man patted her lightly, and Lu Yin turned around and grabbed the person behind him: "I won't jump anymore, I'm too scared because it's too high."
staff member:"… "
Lu Yin trembled: "I didn't know it was so tall. I was deceived. He said it was only 20 meters..."
The man's clothes were picked up by her, and he looked down, speechless.
Lu Qiang patted him and raised his hand backwards: "I'll do it."
He stepped forward to break away Lu Yin's hand, the staff backed out, Lu Yin grabbed his arm instead, and pushed his body back: "I won't jump, I won't jump...you liar."
Lu Qiang let her toss, but it was like a wall, blocking the front, refusing to let her out.
After tossing enough, Lu Yin leaned against him, her hands were like vines, tightly hugging his waist. Lu Qiang cleverly turned her around and held her arm.
Lu Yin screamed and almost fell.
Lu Qiang said in a low voice: "I've failed too much. I don't know how to live in this life. I'm afraid of other people's gossip. I'm always sensitive and suspicious. I don't dare to speak out if something is on my mind..."
He paused, and Lu Yin became quiet, feeling that the words seemed familiar.
He continued: "Timid and timid, seeing them coming out of the restaurant, they didn't walk past with their chests up, turned around and wanted to run away."
"I'm twenty-seven years old, and I'm afraid to live in his shadow all the time."
...
As the wind whistled in her ear, Lu Qiang pressed against her back, and every word and every word clearly passed into Lu Yin's ears, and she finally understood that what he was talking about was all about herself.
Lu Qiang said: "How terrible is his shadow? What about other people's irresponsible remarks? When you jump from here, everything will be a fucking fart."
Lu Yin said, "I dare not."
She had calmed down a lot when she spoke, these three words were not timid, but rather self-promoting before jumping.
Lu Qiang said: "You jump first, I will jump again, there is nothing to be afraid of. Prove it to me, you are not timid."
He paused word by word, slowly speaking to her, his rough tone was like a hypnotic charm, and a kind of desperate madness rose in her heart.
Lu Yin murmured: "Do you really want to dance?"
Lu Qiang let go of her arm: "Jump."
There was nothingness in front of Lu Yin's eyes, and she slowly closed her eyes.
Lu Qiang said: "Do you want to live a decent life?... If you want to, just jump off."
After a long time, Lu Yin said: "Help me..."
Lu Qiang pressed against her waist and said softly, "Call out."
***
The moment she jumped off, Lu Yin regretted it, she was suddenly awakened like hypnosis, and the feeling of dying instantly overwhelmed her. The place for her heart was empty, and there was the sound of 'whoosh' in her ears. She couldn't breathe, and she grabbed her hands desperately, but couldn't reach anything. The feeling of losing control was extremely desperate.
The body fell rapidly, and the surrounding mountain walls flew up. For a few seconds, Lu Yin thought, maybe this time he was really dead.
The jumping rope reached the limit, and before she could react, she was dragged into the air by the rope again, her heart shifted again, and the thrill just now had to be experienced again. Lu Yin remembered Lu Qiang's last words, and she let it out loudly in spite of everything.
During the whole process, she kept spinning and swaying in mid-air, without attachment, fearful and helpless. But like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, after experiencing the test of life and death, it was reborn again, brave and desperate.
Five minutes in mid-air is like a century. When the rope was no longer shaking, she was hanging upside down, her head was only one meter above the water, tears finally fell from the corners of Lu Yin's eyes, she thought of Liu Zecheng, six years had passed, like frames of old photos, slowly moldy and rotted, in the blurred vision The back view of him and her leaving hand in hand appeared... Her heart suddenly didn't hurt, didn't hate, and was so numb that she couldn't feel anything. The opposite of love is indifference, and at the moment she jumped off, she finally did it.
Facing death, nothing is more important than being alive.
It turns out that if you love someone, you may not love for a moment.
Lu Yin blinked, a drop of water fell down her eye, her vision became clear, and an ark broke into her world. Among the emerald green mountains, there is no trace of blue waves, and the small paddles set off layers of ripples, and the entire reflected world jumps and shakes.
The man was sitting on the bow of the boat, with a cigarette in his mouth but not lighting it, with a very faint smile on the corner of his lips, with a flamboyant expression that also implied tenderness, staring at her intently until the boat slowly approached.
The boatman took off the straps on her body, Lu Qiang hugged her, Lu Yin's hands and feet were sore, and she slumped on the boat.
A laugh came from above his head, Lu Yin became furious for no reason, waved his fists to greet him, and cried uncontrollably.
Three points of grievance, three points of excitement, and the rest can't find the reason at all.
Lu Qiang let her do the beating, and put the cigarette behind his ears. When she had finished beating, he grabbed those cold hands and brought them to his lips to kiss, "When you're tired, rest and beating."
Lu Yin scolded: "Bastard..."
Lu Qiang smiled: "You asked me to help you, and instead scolded me?"
Lu Yin cried: "... why don't you dance?"
Lu Qiang said: "I wanted to dance at first, but seeing your fangs and claws, looking like you are going to die, who would dare to dance?"
Lu Yin held back her mouth, her tears were more violent than before.
Lu Qiang was angry and funny, he hugged her in front of him, and wiped her face with his rough palm, but it couldn't be wiped clean at all. Lu Qiang was impatient, so he went up to her and kissed her tears inch by inch.
After an unknown period of time, the person in his arms suddenly quieted down, forgot to cry, and his breathing was chaotic and cautious.
Lu Qiang moved an inch away, pinched her chin, and looked straight at her. Breathing and smelling, a little her was reflected in his pupils.
Lu Yin wanted to back away, but the hand on her chin tightened, Lu Qiang said, "With me, this thing won't let you dance a second time."
Lu Yin's heart beat like a drum.
He said: "Be good with me, as long as I have, I will give you whatever you want."
They were walking in the middle of the lake, and the boat was like a leaf, floating alone.
It doesn't matter if you get the answer or not, Lu Qiang doesn't want to wait. He slowly pressed down, touched the corner of her lips lightly, paused for a few seconds, tilted his head at an angle, and kissed her lips. All tenderness is a pretense, except for the initial uneasy temptation, he reveals his true form, turns into a ferocious beast, swallows, plunders crazily, and never gives others a chance to stand up again.
The oars messed up the pool of spring water, and Lu Yin's mind went blank, like a puppet that lost its soul, at the mercy of others, flattened and rounded by others.
