Youyan lied.
Lu Hongyi and Chi Zheng did not meet at Ruqin Lake. They first met in the moonlit pine forest on the ridge of Guling Mountain in Lushan Mountain. A dirt road divides the pine forest into two facing each other, with continuous pine waves extending all the way.
That night many years ago, the moonlight was as warm as water, and its rays of light shone on the pine tops, illuminating the beauty of the world. Lu Hongyi chatted and laughed with many of his colleagues, while Chi Zheng set up his easel and painted under the moon. An unexpectedly beautiful encounter.
That was a story that Youyan had begged her grandma to tell countless times when she was a child. Unfortunately, it was not a fairy tale, so later in the story, some people went to heaven and some had new companions. It begins with love and ends with sorrow.
For a period of time, Youyan frantically painted the moonlight among the pines, based only on his own imagination without asking for any support.
But what she and Gu Yebai said was not entirely false. Like Qin Lake, Chi Zheng died in a small hotel nearby. However, how dare she tell him too much? She was afraid that he would guess the whole story, as well as her illness.
She rarely mentioned anything about his parents. Gu Yebai only knew that her father did not love her mother, just like his father. He rarely asked about it, but it hurt him to see the pale melancholy between her eyebrows.
It turned out that this was the first time her parents met. Of course, he also heard a hint of concealment in her words. He chose to hold her tight rather than ask questions. Everyone, no matter how happy she is, will have a little pain in her heart, the pain that only belongs to one person. Indescribable.
"Xiao Bai, I heard that the pine forest is also beautiful when the moon shines on it. Can we go see it tomorrow night? Then, you can draw a picture for me. No, it's about there, not me, okay?"
Her words were a bit messy, but Gu Yebai hugged her and whispered: "Okay."
"When you become famous, I will sell your paintings for a sky-high price and become a little rich woman."
Gu Yebai scolded: "Go quickly, or I will leave you here."
He wanted to hold her and let her have a good sleep. If this journey is destined to be indulging, he will not dig deep into the sadness that cannot be let go. He will always guard her and accompany her to recover, waiting for the day when she can tell him.
The group talked and laughed, Yang Zhidao said, "Only in Lushan, spring is like a dream, summer is like drops, autumn is like drunkenness, and winter is like jade."
Xiaowen laughed and scolded: "Don't throw out the sour advertising slogans."
Yang Zhi retorted, "Don't you think my hometown is beautiful? You woman, this will also be your hometown from now on."
Xiaowen blushed and punched him.
Gu Yebai and Youyan looked at each other and smiled. During their fight, her smile made him couldn't help but kiss her eyebrow gently.
The "road" is white from tonight, and the moon is "Gu" in the countryside. Youyan quietly reached out and covered her heart... Just like Yang Zhi said to Xiaowen, where you are, that's where I am. But, how long can she stay with him
When they reached a certain place, Yang Zhi suddenly stopped and said, "Team members, we're here."
In the gloomy night, a small hotel exposed its eaves tiles from the green shade. As you approach, you can see a sandalwood plaque hanging on the lintel, with the words "Yangliu Hotel" written in seal script.
He pulled Xiaowen in first, then quickly turned back to greet the two of them, "Come in."
Gu Yebai's heart skipped a beat at this moment. Youyan's body was trembling slightly.
He threw down his luggage, held her face in his hands, and quickly scanned her face with his sharp eyes.
"Xiaobai, this is Azhi's hotel?" Youyan stared at the plaque with his eyes.
"His surname is Yang, Ruqin Lake, Yangliu Hotel, I should have thought of it earlier." She murmured.
Gu Yebai's voice deepened, "Do you know this hotel? What are you hiding from me?"
Youyan bit her lip, "Xiaobai, I won't stay here tonight."
"People have died in this hotel." After a while, she lowered her eyes and said.
Seeing that the two of them didn't follow, Yang Zhi came out to welcome them. Hearing Youyan's words, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, stopped in his tracks, and didn't speak for a while.
Gu Yebai said: "Azhi, don't take it to heart. Girls are timid. She didn't mean that."
Xiaowen also came out. Seeing everyone's strange expressions, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Youyan secretly cursed himself and watched Yebai speak, knowing that he would definitely do what he wanted and take the matter upon himself. He quickly said: "Azhi, I'm sorry, I can't speak, but I've been afraid of this since I was a child..."
Her voice became softer and softer, and her face turned red.
When Yang Zhi saw this, he couldn't help but waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's a fact that people have died here. It's getting late. I'll call a car and take you to the original hotel."
"Thank you." Gu Yebai patted him on the shoulder, "Wouldn't it be interesting if we wanted to trouble you to be our tour guide tomorrow?"
