In the sparsely populated Xingfu Square, I held An Lan's hand and ran with her.
At that moment, I was happy, I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to have a peaceful meal with her.
An Lan didn't ask me where I wanted to take her, she just ran with me.
This feeling of mutual trust is what lovers should have.
I commute here every day, so I am quite familiar with the neighborhood. There is a street selling various snacks not far from here.
But during the Chinese New Year, I don’t know if this snack street is still open.
After running for about a few minutes, we arrived at this snack street. Fortunately, some shops were not closed yet, but there was no business.
I didn’t plan to eat here, so I bought a variety of small skewers and Chengdu specialty snacks and filled a bag full of them.
Finally, I went to the supermarket and bought a 2L bottle of Coke. An Lan didn't know what I was going to do, but she didn't ask. Anyway, he followed me wherever I went.
After buying these things, I took An Lan to the road, stopped a taxi and headed for our secret base.
Strictly speaking, this place is a park that has not been fully developed, but it seems that the city has plans to develop it into an attraction.
It's far away from the noise of the city. Whenever I feel depressed, I come here to sit.
After getting off the bus, I took An Lan and walked towards this semi-developed park.
Since it is a park that has not yet been developed, the natural roads are not that easy to walk. It can even be said that there are no roads at all.
There are quite a lot of weeds along the way, but these weeds have all withered in winter.
Climbing up a small hillside, there is a huge stone here, which is relatively flat. I usually like to lie on it and bask in the sun.
After arriving at the place, I put down the food I was carrying and said to An Lan, "We're here."
"Where is this?"
"I don't know. I discovered it when I passed by here last time. After that, I liked it more and more. I will come here to sit and sit when I have nothing to do."
An Lan then looked at the surrounding environment and said, "This looks like a park, but it's not quite."
"Yes, it is said that it is still under development and there are no tourists coming now."
As I said that, I pointed to the lake below us and said to An Lan, "Have you seen that lake? It's called Immortal Lake. It's said that immortals live in the lake."
An Lan was amused by me, and then sat on the boulder with me.
"When will you go to London again?" I asked while taking out all the food.
"Tomorrow's flight."
"Did you come back specifically to visit my parents' graves?"
"Of course it's not entirely true. I have already negotiated with YM Group. They take this matter very seriously and need me to provide some relevant information. I came back this time to talk to the police who were in charge of the case at the time."
"Then did you get the information?"
"Yeah." An Lan nodded.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and her clothes were a little thin, so she subconsciously hugged her legs tightly.
I took off my coat and put it directly on her body.
"Aren't you cold like this?" she asked me, tilting her head.
"I'm fine! Mainly because of you, why are you wearing so little?"
“I didn’t expect it to be so cold in Chengdu, so I didn’t bring extra clothes.”
"You really don't know how to take care of yourself."
As I spoke, I took out the snack skewers, handed them to An Lan, and said, "Eat something to keep warm."
"So this is the good place you mentioned?"
"Don't you think this is very comfortable? Look at how beautiful the scenery here is and how pure it is. This is incomparable to those five-star hotels."
An Lan smiled and said, "You are getting poorer and poorer now."
"This is what happened when I met you."
With that said, I opened the Coca-Cola again, then took out the paper cup I bought from the supermarket, poured two cups into it, and handed one cup to An Lan.
"Let's eat as much as we want today. Don't be afraid of gaining weight. You'll be as happy as you want."
An Lan was holding a Coke in one hand and a skewer in the other. He took a bite and nodded to me and said, "Yeah, it's delicious."
I looked at her side face and her long hair blowing in the wind, and my heart couldn't help but be filled with tenderness.
This moment should be the most enjoyable moment for me in the past few months.
It feels so good to not be burdened with work, not to have so many trivial worries, no one to disturb me, and only An Lan is by my side.
"An Lan." When she was enjoying her meal, I called her out.
"Um?"
I looked at her and smiled, and she asked again: "Why don't you talk?"
"I just wanted to call you."
"Shout."
"An Lan." So I shouted again.
"Yeah." She responded again.
"An Lan."
"Eh"
"Lanlan?"
"I heard it!"
"Honey."
"Huh?" She responded quite quickly. She originally said "huh", but her tone turned into a question.
I smiled and said, "What's wrong? Do you allow me to call you that?"
"No, why are you trying to trick me? I can call you that if you want."
"Honey." I called again immediately.
"Yeah." She nodded and smiled sweetly.
"Actually, I want to tell you that your hair is messed up."
"Ignore it."
"Wouldn't it affect your eating?"
"It's just because I don't want to affect my eating, so I don't want to take care of it." An Lan didn't even bother to pay attention to his hair that was blown by the wind, and continued to eat with relish.
Looking at her imageless appearance, I felt very real and down-to-earth.
Especially at this moment, sitting on the ground like me, holding a Coke in one hand and a meat skewer full of spicy red oil in the other, eating until my mouth is full of grease.
But I couldn't stand it anymore, so I put down the food in my hand, then pushed all her hair back to the back of her head, and asked her, "Do you have a rubber band? Tie it up for me."
"In my bag."
So I held her hair with one hand, found a rubber band in the exquisite bag beside her with the other hand, and then tied up her hair.
"I didn't hurt you, did I?" Because I don't know how to tie a girl's hair, so I was afraid of hurting her.
"No, you can still push harder, otherwise it will be blown out if it is not stable."
After struggling for a while, I finally tied up her hair. It looked so ugly.
What I mean is that my binding is ugly, but at first glance it feels pretty good, and it looks like a lazy state.
"It seems that you have to learn how to tie your hair in the future. From now on, I will leave Xiaoman's hair to you."
"This is not difficult, you can definitely learn it."
"Don't brag! If you can't tie Xiaoman well, you won't be satisfied!" An Lan rarely uses such tone particles, which shows that she is very relaxed now.
Looking at the oil stains on her mouth, I took out a tissue and wiped it for her, and said with a smile: "I just realized now that you are a snack food!"
She didn't seem to care what I said. She picked up another beef skewer and was about to eat it when she suddenly burped.
Then, we looked at each other and smiled.
She put down the beef skewers with some embarrassment and said: "Oops! I ate too much."
"Don't you care?"
"Who said that?"
"Are you also afraid of gaining weight?"
"What woman is not afraid of gaining weight?"
I laughed and said: "You are quite honest. Unlike some women who obviously look very ordinary, but they always say what they mean and say that they don't care about appearance and that knowledge and cultivation are the most important. But when you really talk to them
When they come into contact, they show off their beauty every moment.”
"How to show it?"
I imitated the way those women posed, first lifting their hair, then deliberately stretching their legs, and said in an exaggerated tone: "That's it!"
An Lan smiled, rolled his eyes at me and said, "Stop imitating it, it's so ugly."
