From time to time, Lu An used serving chopsticks to pick up food for those who were eating quietly. Except for a few greetings at the beginning of the meeting, she seemed to have nothing to say. She always ate politely and rarely made eye contact.
"Ah?" Ji Qingbai was stunned, "No, I am relatively quiet when eating..."
Lu An ate little, looked at her again after eating a little, put on gloves and picked up the scissors to cut open the crab shell, took out the tenderest crab roe and put it on the dinner plate in front of the woman. The crab legs were also peeled cleanly and completely.
The whole set of actions is naturally familiar.
"Thank you." She looked at his masterpiece on the plate and pursed her lips.
"It's more sincere to say thank you when someone says it."
After a pause, Ji Qingbai put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked up at him, and said solemnly: "Thank you."
Lu An looked at her delicate eyebrows from a close distance, her eyes were clean, and she felt very sincere.
He chuckled lightly, "You're welcome."
After dinner, the sun was about to set. There was sunset today, and the scenery along the river was very nice.
"Go for a walk?"
Following him on the deck, the yacht sailed into the river.
The lights on both sides of the Taiwan Strait began to light up, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed with an intoxicating pink, a very beautiful color.
The view from the deck is very good, and the cool river breeze blows. When you stand here, you just feel relaxed all over.
There is an art square by the river. It is the time when young people go out for a walk and the melodious singing sounds come, adding a lot of fun to the evening.
After singing one song, the melody of the song changed, and the singer sang a new song that was adapted from a blend of opera singing and modern elements, giving it a unique flavor.
Ji Qingbai stared blankly at the square, obviously very interested.
"Do you like opera?" Lu An asked beside him.
"Well, I think opera is very beautiful. It is not an art that can only be put on the shelf. It can be appreciated by both refined and popular people. It is a romance unique to us Chinese. When I was a child, there would be an opera troupe to sing in Chunshui Town. At that time, as a child, I only liked the excitement of singing, but
I can’t appreciate the drama on stage, and I don’t understand why adults like to watch it so much,” Qingbai chuckled, “When I grow up, I will become one of them.”
"It's a pity that many young people now only like the foreign fast food culture, which requires passion, excitement, and the whole song is rap with swear words. They think it is cool. The real treasures inherited from thousands of years of culture are about to become extinct, not only opera,
Our traditional clothing, traditional Chinese medicine, incense, architecture, handicrafts... are only maintained by such a small number of people, and one day they may not be able to survive. In the era of rapid informationization, who would care about the extinction of an inconspicuous culture.
She lowered her eyes slightly, "Sometimes it's quite sad. Our generation is knowledgeable about the past and present, knows the laws of the universe and the origin of humankind, understands the changes in history, and has a perspective on the world. In the end, we can't keep our own culture."
.You said why human development has been advancing slowly for thousands of years, but in the past hundred years everything has been super accelerated. Does this mean that when civilization reaches its peak, it will completely decline?"
The sounds of the words she spoke slowly reached her ears with the evening breeze, and Lu Anjing stared at her quietly, with a deep look in his eyes.
Ji Qingbai suddenly realized that he had gone so far just now. It was obviously a simple chat, but she was talking about it so seriously. After he realized it, he felt a little embarrassed.
The man's deep voice sneered, "I didn't expect that Ji Qingbai would become so profound after 13 years of not seeing each other. Being with you makes me look like a rough guy."
"No," Ji Qingbai coughed slightly in embarrassment, "I'm always like this, and my words often don't match the words..."
"It's good," Lu An chuckled, "I just like thoughtful... friends."
"The concerns you mentioned do exist. In such an era of global cultural collision, it is inevitable that many local cultures will be impacted by foreign cultures. This is a problem that exists all over the world, not just in our country. The historical process always
It is consensus, there will be contradictions first, arouse a sense of crisis, break out a war, and finally lead to the next victory.
I believe that the vast majority of young people love the traditional culture of their country. Now that cultural problems have been exposed, many young people are using their own strength to protect and inherit our culture. And there will be more and more people in the future.
To join this cultural protection movement, we must have confidence in ourselves. They are the hope of the country." Lu An looked at her and lifted his lips word by word, "You and I, too."
In the distance, the young singer was still singing opera tunes in Jiang'an Square, and the onlookers were cheering enthusiastically. He and his songs were very popular.
The tall man in front of her raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and the low and firm pronunciation of the words slowly entered her ears, "We can always find the direction in the process of history and go on the right path. The only person in the world who can do this is the great nation of China.
."
With his eardrums twitching slightly, Ji Qingbaijing looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him, familiar yet unfamiliar.
It was like meeting him for the first time.
The feeling he brought to her was so different. In her memory, Lu An was still the idle little boy about the same height as her.
Suddenly he became a tall, mature man with long, strong and deep facial features. At first glance, he seemed to have a very domineering personality.
But he was willing to listen to her lengthy chatter and use his insights to enlighten her and enlighten her mind.
The man's eyebrows were too sharp. After looking at him for a while, she looked away and said, "Thank you."
Looking at her chiseled profile, Lu An moved his lips, "Then we can go to the theater to watch a movie together."
"Um."
It was dark now, so he walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, placing his hands on the railing and feeling the cool river breeze.
Ji Qingbai lowered his eyes and saw the ring on his middle finger.
Ring finger for wedding, middle finger for engagement.
Noticing her gaze, Lu An asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your ring is beautiful."
"Really?" He glanced casually, "I like giving it to you."
"That was not what I meant."
"Try it."
Taking off the ring, he took Ji Qingbai's hand forcefully, put it on his middle finger and made a circle, "Your fingers are too slender."
After thinking for a moment, he said: "I will give you a suitable one in the future."
"Need not……"
"It would be a pity not to wear a ring on such a beautiful hand."
His hand was held by him and he was praised and commented on. Ji Qingbai's ears were burned and he pulled back.
The smooth touch in his hands disappeared. Lu An put his hands into his pockets. Knowing that Ji Qingbai was still a little unfamiliar with him and embarrassed, he said casually: "We are sworn brothers. Although you didn't admit it when you were young, you are two younger than me after all.
Yue, you can be considered my sister, so as a brother, I should buy you a ring as a meeting gift."
In the evening, Lu An sent Ji Qingbai back to the apartment where she lived. Before leaving, he raised his eyebrows and smiled downstairs, saying, "Good night, Ji Qingbai."
"Good night."
Watching people go upstairs, he received a message from Luo Yan, "How is the situation?"
【Hand in hand.】
Luo Yan:【!!】
Who wants to listen to his boasting about taking advantage of others!
