In a small town in the Yanjiang District of City D, a woman standing in front of a store, stamping her feet and rubbing her hands, was whispering something to a local. Maybe it was because it was too cold, and she kept rubbing her hands while
He rubbed his face.
"Miss, there are no saltwater geese for sale now. It's the Chinese New Year, and fewer people eat this kind of thing. Summer is the most popular season for eating geese every year. It's better to come next summer! I heard that buying it is also a good idea.
Okay, why don’t you try looking for it online?”
"Is it really gone?" Shu Ran rubbed her hands and looked a little nervous. After getting the man's affirmative reply, she walked back to the car a little decadently, looking at the man leaning against the car door with a disappointed look on her face.
It's not that she didn't know they could buy it online, but she overheard her grandma once saying that grandpa liked the old salt water goose from this family in this town. When grandpa was his age, what he ate was more of a taste than a taste.
It’s called nostalgia, grandma said, grandpa’s former hometown was here.
Shu Ran turned around and took a look at the sign on the door of the store. The sign was a bit old and it looked like it was already a very old store.
Behind him, Shang Qingwen came closer, took her hand and led her towards the car. He didn't miss the disappointment in her eyes. He held her cold hand and rubbed it, "How about we look for it again?"
Shu Ran got into the car, shook her head slightly, and felt a little regretful. This was the only one with no other branches. It seemed that this trip was in vain. It was further from D City to here than back to Jiahe. She didn't expect to say a word.
Unintentionally, he drove her for more than three hours to get here. She was just talking casually, but she never thought that he would take it seriously.
Shu Ran looked at the man who got into the car, and felt confused for a while. The man he was last night, and the man he is now, one was so arrogant and evil that she was scared, and the other was so gentle and considerate that it almost melted her. What he did a moment ago made her...
She wished she could kill him, but at this moment, the open door of his tenderness slowly tightened around her. She felt like she had fallen into the door woven by his own hands, unable to struggle or escape.
Shang Qingwen started the car and backed it out slowly. Because the temperature was relatively low and the town was relatively deserted, Shang Qingwen drove smoothly towards another road and caught a glimpse of the scene outside the car window.
It's a bit desolate, the road is relatively narrow, and there are low buildings on both sides of the road. All the leaves of the poplar forest not far away have fallen off, and occasionally one or two crows fly across the empty fields. After staying in the city for a long time, I suddenly see
Seeing such a scene, Shu Ran couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Where are we going?" Shu Ran looked at the small river not far away. There were withered yellow reeds on the riverside, and only a few white cotton-like things were floating in the wind, like dandelions.
Float away.
Shang Qingwen didn't reply to her words, he just smiled and reached out to open the skylight, "Of course, look at the top of your head!"
Shu Ran raised her head and looked out the skylight as she listened. She saw the branches of the tall poplar trees on both sides of the road swaying past the skylight above her head. The dark sky and moving branches made people suddenly read at this moment.
I understand the saying 'time flies by like a fleeting breath'.
"If it's midsummer, you can look up and see the lush green sky. When the car slides by below, you will feel particularly good!" He said with a low smile, and his eyes slowly moved to Shu Ran's face.
When she was looking up, he slowly stopped the car to the side of the road, leaned over, and before Shu Ran could react, he reached out and held her face, forcing her to look into his eyes.
He looked at her closely with his deep eyes and whispered, "Baby, are you feeling better?"
Shu Ran's little face was gently held by him, and warm breath blew into her face. She was looking at the scenery above her head in a daze, and she didn't even realize that the car had stopped, and he was leaning over at this time, far away from her.
So close.
Every time he came close, she would feel oppressed. In such a small space in the car, it was difficult for her to turn her face away when he held her face. She felt his soft breath, and was so attracted by his deep eyes.
As she watched, the depression in her heart became more sensitive along with the tense nerves.
"Don't get too close to me!" Shu Ran moved her eyes away from him, but her heart was beating like thunder because of his sudden approach. Her ears were heated by his breath, and her voice seemed particularly cold and hard.
, the tone is also a bit unsmooth, as if it is too fast to control the speed of speaking, and the cadence of the language has changed due to nervousness. It sounds like I am trembling!
Shang Qingwen, who leaned over, had a dull look in his eyes, as if he was slightly annoyed. He let go of his hand and sat back. Without saying anything, he started the car and continued moving forward.
Because of this small episode, neither of them spoke for the next half hour, and Shu Ran didn't ask him where he was going. The car navigation destination he set was a place she didn't know.
The road conditions outside the car were worse than before. The car sank to the side on a downhill slope. Shu Ran, who was sitting in the passenger seat on the right, was shocked. After the wheels passed by, Shu Ran could see clearly what was in front of her.
Road, this is a section of road leading to a certain village. Although the cement road is narrow, it is paved in a winding flat field. There are a few ducks on a frozen river. The ducks are walking on the ice.
In a village in the distance, a few green smoke rose.
Shu Ran was stunned by what she saw.
Withered vines, old trees and dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people’s houses!!
here it is----
Shang Qingwen's car finally stopped at the entrance to the village. Because the cement road was built at the intersection, the road inside was not easy to back up. Shang Qingwen stopped the car, opened the door and got out, and Shu Ran also got out.
,"where is this place?"
Shang Qingwen stretched out his hand toward her, "Aren't you looking for something to eat? Come with me!"
Shu Ran looked at the hand he stretched out towards her, the hand stuffed in the down coat holding the clothes tightly, frowning, "I can walk by myself!"
Shang Qingwen had no choice but to retract his hand and walk in front, but he would still stop and wait for her from time to time. Although Shu Ran was wearing flat snow boots, she was used to walking in the city, and suddenly she had to walk like this
The path was full of stones. After just a few steps, she was knocked off her feet by the stones under her feet. She had to stop. She was worried that she had spent too little time exercising in the past six months, and even walking on a gravel path would cause her feet to tremble.
foot.
Shang Qingwen held her arm, and Shu Ran was surprised that he was obviously walking in front, so why did he turn back again? Shang Qingwen took her arm and led her forward, watching her frowning in displeasure.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You brave little thing!"
Shu Ran got a little angry when he heard this, "I'm not a thing!" I'm a human being!
Shang Qingwen, who was walking, said "Hmm", turned his face to look at her with raised eyebrows, Shu Ran was startled, and his nose almost wrinkled. As soon as the words came out, he knew that he had scolded himself, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Shang Qing was
When Wen looked at it like this, he felt even more angry. He slapped the hand holding his arm away and said, "What are you looking at? Don't look at it!"
Shang Qingwen was clapped, touched his nose and looked at Shu Ran who was walking in front. He chuckled and said seriously: "I'm thinking about what the thing that is not a thing is!"
"Shang Qingwen, you-" Shu Ran, who was walking in front, was so angry that he picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the person behind him. Shang Qingwen did not dodge in a hurry, and the stone fell on his chest. He turned around and saw
Shu Ran walked away, her eyebrows twitching, Mrs. Shang was very angry!
Shu Ran, who was walking in front, didn't walk too fast because she didn't know where she was going. She was so angry that she just thought about why she didn't pick up a bigger stone and throw it at his head. But when she thought about it,
If she hit his head in a remote place, it wouldn't be cost-effective if she had to drive him to the hospital.
"Of course, on the right!" Shang Qingwen's voice came from behind, and Shu Ran had to stop. The man behind him stepped over in a few steps. The two of them appeared at the door of a small courtyard one after another, and heard a dog barking.
Shu Ran immediately hid behind Shang Qingwen, and looked around cautiously. After making sure there were no dogs around, he breathed a sigh of relief. Young Master Shang, who was standing still, looked at Shang Qingwen who had just picked up a stone out of anger with him.
The woman who hit him was timidly hiding behind him like a child. Well, she also knew how to hide behind him!
The sound of the dog barking attracted the owner to open the door. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man. He was a little surprised when he saw the stranger and asked who he was looking for. Shang Qingwen explained the purpose of his visit. He wanted to buy saltwater geese. Shu Ran listened to him
After saying that, I was shocked. He said he was looking for something to eat. Was he here to buy salted goose?
The other party was obviously a little surprised. The man and woman outside the door looked dignified, and they didn't look like ordinary people in their dress, speech and behavior. They were even more shocked after hearing Shang Qingwen's words. They came all the way from City D just to buy him.
Home saltwater goose?
"Sir, we here only eat this from summer to autumn. Because there are fewer people eating it in winter, we don't sell it. If you want to buy it, sir, I have to make it for you. It just takes some time. No.
I know you guys can’t wait?”
When Shu Ran heard this, the fashionable Qing Wen also turned to look at her, as if asking for her opinion. Shu Ran nodded and expressed her willingness to wait. She came here just to buy one. Since it was not easy to find it,
Why not wait?
The owner then opened the courtyard door and friendly reminded him to be careful of the watchdog tied at the door. Shu Ran's heart tightened and she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to hug Shang Qingwen's arm. Shang Qingwen looked sideways at Shang Qingwen with a look of panic on his face.
Shu Ran took advantage of the situation and pulled her into his arms.
The two of them were arranged in the living room by the owner. As soon as Shu Ran entered the living room, she realized that what the owner meant was to pick an old goose from the goose pen, kill it, pluck the feathers, and start cooking. She listened to the goose's cry in the yard.
, Shu Ran's heart trembled, and he stood up and looked at the people who were busy in the yard. An old man in his seventies was sitting on a small stool plucking goose feathers. When he saw Shu Ran, he was stunned for a moment, and then said to
He waved to her, "Girl, have I seen you somewhere?"
The middle-aged man who was sorting things out smiled and said, "Dad, everyone looks familiar to you. They are not locals, they are from City D!"
The old man became even more excited when he heard this, "Since you have come all the way to find our home in this mountain village, let me see, girl, is your hometown from here? Or what is the last name of the elderly person in your family?"
"
Shu Ran came over, because she and Shang Qingwen were the only two people in the living room, and the atmosphere there was a little awkward, so she simply walked out. After hearing the old man's question, Shu Ran knelt down and replied, "My grandfather's last name is
Ran, once lived here!"
The old man who was plucking the goose feathers paused and said, "Are you Ran Kuang's granddaughter?"
Shu Ran was a little surprised that he actually remembered her grandfather's name, and nodded hurriedly. The old man clapped his legs in surprise when he heard this, "I'm just telling you, we must know each other. Girl, how is your grandfather? Your grandfather was here with us back then.
The old factory director, not only I still remember him, but many people here still remember him!"
Really? She had never heard her grandpa say this. The old man was plucking his hair and said, "Twenty years ago, we had a mine here. At that time, steelmaking was in full swing across the country. We also had one here, your grandpa.
He is a cadre assigned from the city. He has been here for more than ten years, and then I heard that he was transferred. Girl, where is your grandfather now?"
"My grandfather is in Jiahe, the Jiahe not far from D City!"
The old man let out a long "Oh" and said seriously, "I've heard that there seems to be some kind of factory over there?"
"There is a mine in Jiahe, and it has been discovered that there are a lot of rare mineral resources!" Shang Qingwen, standing behind Shu Ran, said with a smile. The old man patted his forehead when he heard this, "Yes, yes, it seems to belong to a state-owned smelting company."
From the steel factory, I forgot his name!"
"It's named after the place Jiahe, Jiahe Mine!" Shang Qingwen replied softly. After hearing this, the old man suddenly realized and said that his memory was not very good, while Shu Ran, who was squatting next to him, turned and looked up at Shang Qing.
Wen glanced at him and saw that he was looking down at her. When their eyes met, Shu Ran quickly looked away.
The waiting process was not as painful as imagined, because when we talked about grandpa, we had a topic to talk about, and our relationship became a lot closer as we talked about it. After more than three hours, we waited for the old goose to be packed.
The old man was still reluctant to leave and advised Shu Ran to stay here for one night and leave tomorrow. Shu Ran politely declined. When he went out, he looked at the sky outside and whispered why it was already night. The old man asked his son to take it with him.
The flashlight sent them out, and when they got into the car, Shu Ran carefully placed the old goose he was holding on the back seat. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Did you give me the money?"
There was a lot of hesitation in the room. She gave the money, but the old man didn't want it. He insisted that it was for them. He also said that Ran Kuang still remembered the old goose he made. He couldn't accept the money at all. After a while of hesitation, Shu Ran
The money was never sent out at all.
Shang Qingwen started the car and smiled, "I gave it to you, and I put it under the tea cup!"
Shu Ran was dumbfounded, hey, he was standing outside just now and didn't see him enter the house. He had expected it, so he gave the money early.
"You should take a rest first. It seems that we will have to find a hotel in the nearest city to rest tonight!" It was getting late, and the highway coming here might have been closed.
Shu Ran didn't say anything. As soon as he lay down and closed his eyes, Shang Qingwen's call came. He placed the Bluetooth headset and connected the call.
"Well, probably tomorrow afternoon, you can postpone the meeting to three o'clock in the afternoon. Well, I know. You can make arrangements and I'll decide when I get back!"
Shu Ran, who had her eyes closed, opened them, looked sideways at the driver, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you busy?"
Shang Qingwen put away the Bluetooth headset, put it aside, and asked with a smile: "A very busy man or a very leisurely man, which one do you think is better?"
Shu Ran turned away and said dullly: "I only know that the boss of a well-run company is very leisurely!"
His familiar laughter floated in my ears, "Well, Mrs. Shang is so smart!"
"You-" Shu Ran frowned at his words. This man really shined with a little sunshine!
The two of them didn't talk much along the way, but every time Shu Ran had just gained the upper hand, before he could secretly rejoice in his heart, the next second he defeated him again. Shang Qingwen seemed to be disappointed by Shu Ran's conversation.
He was very affectionate in his manner, irritating her from time to time, and then talking softly to each other after they quarreled. They were like young lovers who were quarreling. He let her go when they quarreled, and he felt a little proud when he saw her arrogance rising and suppressed her arrogance.
Arrogant and arrogant, by the time Shu Ran's mouth felt dry, they had already arrived at the door of a hotel in a city.
Shu Ran never thought that she would be messing around with a man for more than an hour. When she carefully thought about it, it seemed that she had not taken any verbal advantage for more than an hour, her brows were almost knitted into a knot.
After entering the hotel, after making sure that the bathroom door was locked, Shu Ran began to tidy herself up. She was really tired from running all the way today, but when she thought of another man in the room, she had the urge to grit her teeth. She was at the front desk just now.
She repeatedly asked for a separate room, and the hateful man said that the room had already been reserved, and the front desk also said that except for this set of rooms that had been prepared for a long time, the rest were full. It would be strange for Shu Ran to believe it, but she thought what if
It was not a good thing to make the noise in the lobby of the big hotel known to everyone. She asked to change hotels, but Shang Qingwen shouted that he was tired. After driving for several hours today, his face was already exhausted. When he saw that
With a pair of resentful eyes, she thought that he drove so far just to buy a saltwater goose for her grandfather, so Shu Ran had to compromise.
Shu Ran came out of the bathroom and saw Shang Qingwen who had already washed herself in the bathroom inside. When she saw her coming out, he smiled at her. Shu Ran ignored his smile and walked over to the bedroom, "Today
You sleep on the sofa tonight!"
Young Master Shang, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at her back and his eyes moved when he looked back.
The dinner delivered by the hotel waiter was delivered directly to the room. Shu Ran didn't eat much. She ate quickly and went to the bedroom. She locked the door, leaving Shang Qingwen sitting alone in the living room.
Eating dinner slowly over there.
The exhausted Shu Ran fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. This was a hotel, not Shang Qingwen's home. She didn't have to worry that Shang Qingwen would suddenly appear next to her. She fell asleep in a daze and felt that someone was beside her.
Lying down next to her, he circled her body and leaned over there. The hot breath he exhaled made her nose feel a little itchy. She felt that someone was looking at her wrists and touching her feet. She groaned uncomfortably and felt
Something wasn't right. When she opened her eyes, she saw the man lying next to her. She was so frightened that she lost all sleep. She wanted to get up, but he held his arms tightly around her waist.
"I told you you were sleeping on the sofa!" Shu Ran was angry and looked at the door. Why could he come in even though she had locked the door?
Shang Qingwen seemed to be woken up by her. He opened his eyes with a lazy light, "I didn't agree!"
He said seriously, she said she would let him sleep on the sofa, but he didn't agree!
He didn't agree? Green smoke rose from Shu Ran's head, and the person lying next to her closed her eyes and hugged her, "Of course, stop making trouble, I'm sleepy!"
Shu Ran's legs that were about to be kicked out couldn't help but stiffen. Seeing him with his eyes closed and his handsome face looking a little tired, she slowly pulled her legs back and didn't struggle anymore, because he didn't hold her hard, but she
She put her head on his elbow, as if she felt her looking at him. He opened his eyes. Shu Ran was startled, and quickly turned to the side and closed her eyes. In fact, as long as he didn't mess around
, she wouldn't target him so much, after all, he came with her specifically to buy things for her grandpa today, and no matter how unreasonable she was, she wouldn't kick him out of bed at this moment.
Shang Qingwen pulled the quilt to cover her, and he leaned over and hugged her waist gently. Feeling her body trembling slightly, he leaned over and leaned his head on her neck to comfort her in a low voice, "Ranran, don't
I'm afraid, I won't touch you tonight, just sleep well!" After saying that, he seemed to sigh, but when he closed his eyes, the corners of his lips curled up, what a soft-hearted little girl!
Hearing these words that were almost a guarantee, Shu Ran's hanging heart finally calmed down. Somehow, she actually believed his words in her heart, just like that time at the Jingteng Hotel, when she almost missed a shot.
There was a fire, but nothing happened after that. He said he wouldn't touch her, so he wouldn't!
Shu Ran felt that she must be crazy at this moment. Why did she have such a firm sense of trust in this man who behaved like a beast to her last night?
Why?
The man who was breathing evenly wrapped his arms around her waist, but gently wrapped his fingers around her wrist, gently holding her wrist like a caress, and leaned closer to surround the curled up little woman.
In one's own arms.
That night, the two people hugging each other had a good night's sleep. In the morning, Shu Ran woke up in his arms. When she woke up, she found that there were shadows under her body. It was the bones pressing against her body that hurt. She turned sideways and her body was aching.
She tilted and was about to roll down. A hand grabbed her waist and pulled her back. She opened her eyes drowsily and realized that the position she was sleeping in was a bit strange and the pillow was too hard. She turned around and opened her eyes.
, the scene in her sight was really strange. The place where her mouth rested was a little soft and a little hard. When she moved, someone snorted. She quickly got up, only to find that she was sleeping on Shang Qingwen's lap.
Go up, where was your face facing him just now -
Shu Ran's face turned red. Shang Qingwen had actually woken up a long time ago. The reason was that this girl was too restless in her sleep, so she just used his thigh as a pillow. Her little face was still facing his place, and she occasionally turned over.
, his face directly bumped into her, and as soon as that soft little mouth came closer, it was like a lighter, making his whole body tense up.
Shu Ran got up and saw that Shang Qingwen had woken up, and he saw her embarrassed side just now. Her posture just now was too--
Shang Qingwen, who was lying motionless, had a glimmer of heat in his eyes. Looking at Shu Ran's red face, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Of course, you wet my place! What should I do?"
