The bamboo forest is as green as new all year round. The slender bamboos reach into the sky, with a high and distant style. The wind blows through the green waves, which is extremely lingering and graceful.
The wicker chair here was brought here by Yun Qiao himself.
In the afternoons of summer and autumn, this place is suitable for reading.
Yun Qiao has memorized all the college textbooks, and recently started reading English novels to increase her reading.
The novel was very interesting. She was fascinated by it and immersed in another world. Therefore, she didn't notice someone standing next to her for a long time.
Until the pebbles hit her, she instinctively sensed the danger and suddenly stretched out her hand to block it, and she regained consciousness.
When she raised her eyes, Xi Lanting stood beside her expressionlessly, wearing a sky-blue gown, standing leisurely. The gown was embroidered with bamboo patterns, and Yun Qiao felt for a moment that he was a bamboo fairy descending to earth.
The catkins are flying in the leisurely courtyard, and the painted curtains hang down to the ground. This place is filled with fairy spirit because of Xi Lanting.
"Uncle Qi." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting: "What are you looking at? My eyes moved for a while, and I thought you were possessed by a nightmare."
Yun Qiao: "..."
She frowned inadvertently.
Xi Lanting caught it and immediately asked: "You think I disturbed your reading?"
Yun Qiao said quickly: "No, no."
Don't dare.
She was in the book, reading it heartily, and the heroine was being cared for by the man she liked. It was like being suddenly awakened from a sweet dream, full of love and affection.
It's not a pleasant feeling, and I feel like I'm out of love.
"Uncle Qi, what's wrong?" Yun Qiao stood up and planned to take the book and read somewhere else.
Xi Lanting: "Come to my place, sit down and watch slowly. The light here is not good, and it will hurt your eyes."
Yun Qiao said hello.
Xi Lanting's living room has plenty of light. Yun Qiao sat on the sofa, found a comfortable angle, and continued reading, looking around flawlessly.
Later, she seemed to be getting some water to drink, and simply leaned on the sofa and sat on the floor.
After she finished reading a book, the electric light came on in the room. Yun Qiao raised her eyes and saw Xi Lanting sitting on the sofa next to her, putting on a thin blanket and closing her eyes to take a nap.
His jade-like skin became even whiter under the lamp, so white that it was almost transparent. His hair was jet black, and his eyebrows and eyelashes were thick, making him very beautiful.
There is still daylight outside the window.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, night came early. Yun Qiao glanced at the clock on the wall. It was just five forty.
She moved.
Xi Lanting didn't respond.
Yun Qiao went to drink water, go to the bathroom, and then sat down to eat snacks.
Xi Lanting still didn't move.
His chest didn't rise and fall, as if he was in a coma. Yun Qiao remembered his last action and approached hesitantly.
He stretched out his hand and tried to breathe, but he didn't feel the hot breath. However, Uncle Qi always breathed shallowly.
Yun Qiao pressed her hand on his chest again, through his thin clothes. Since she didn't press it hard, she pressed harder. Finally feeling his heartbeat, Yun Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Xi Lanting didn't know when she opened her eyes and looked at her steadily.
Yun Qiao was embarrassed: "Uncle Qi, are you awake? You just slept like death."
Xi Lanting frowned slightly: "If I die, I will definitely tell you. Even if I don't tell you, you will know."
"how do you know?"
"Of course there is a way to let you know." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao didn't argue with him.
When it was time for dinner, Yun Qiao read a book all afternoon. Now she was very hungry, and she only cared about whether Uncle Qi was in charge of the meal.
Xi Lanting stood up: "Let's go out to eat."
Yun Qiao felt happy after hearing this. It wasn't that she was hopeless, but that she was tired of the food at home and wanted to change her taste.
Human beings naturally pursue novelty.
She also hates staying the same. The only thing that surprises her is that she has not gotten tired of Xi Lanting even after knowing him for almost eight months.
