Just like when dealing with the Hong family's old house, in order not to worry the family, they adhered to the principle of not disturbing the family until the last moment. Even though he had received a commitment from the army, Hong Yanwu remained tight-lipped about his family.
It's just that Ye Xuan helped to accomplish such a big thing, but he had no reason not to meet her small request.
So after each swimming session, he followed Xuan Ye's wishes and provided her with a new service - acting as a tour guide to take her around Nancheng.
The actual situation at this time is that the "Taoranting Swimming Pool" will close in more than half a month. Xuan Ye has basically mastered the diving skills.
Because Zhou Manna had to run to Yang Weifan constantly, she was actually impatient as a guardian.
In addition, she saw that Hong Yanwu had always behaved himself and there was really nothing to worry about, so she gradually began to absent herself, allowing Ye Xuan to swim alone with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan several times.
As for Chen Liquan, he is too shy towards the opposite sex. Just because Hong Yanwu made a joke on him, he always felt awkward being with Xuan Ye.
As this went back and forth, Hong Yanwu and Ye Xuan had more and more opportunities to be alone. Eventually, it developed to the point that every time Ye Xuan came to swim, Hong Yanwu would go to and from the "Hepingmen Subway Station" in person and use a bicycle to pick her up.
In fact, this is nothing. Because Hong Yanwu has no other thoughts except to serve him in all aspects. In addition to picking up and dropping off, there are many things he does.
For example, you can take Ye Xuan to visit the alleys and pay homage to Kang Youwei's former residence and Ji Xiaolan's "Yuewei Thatched Cottage". Or you can stroll around the park, go fishing in Taoranting Pavilion and go out to the "Snow Mountain".
(Note: The snow-capped mountain-shaped stone slide is the most famous children’s entertainment project in Taoranting Park. It is unique in Beijing and still exists today)
Otherwise, go to Liulichang to browse the bookstores and cultural relics shops, or sneak into the "National Ballet" on Taiping Street, or watch the rehearsals at the "National Academy of Drama" in Heiyaochang.
If she is thirsty or hungry, take her to the cold food shop next to the bathhouse to eat ice cream, yogurt, croissant bread, and Hui snacks from "Nan Laishun". It doesn't matter if she is tired, she can go to the cinema
Just rest your feet while watching a movie.
In short, it’s just eating, drinking and having fun, whatever makes you happy.
To be honest, Hong Yanwu's mental age is that of a mature man, and with the permission of "Sugar Heart", he is treating Xuan Ye as a child who has not grown up. He has a clear conscience and just wants to use this to repay Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye’s favor for helping.
It's just that he thought very simply, but he just ignored the girl's thoughts.
Their way of getting along gradually turned into something else in Xuan Ye's feelings.
First of all, in Ye Xuan's opinion, Hong Yanwu is about the same age as her, and they are absolutely the same age.
In addition, the feelings of girls who have reached the age of love are undoubtedly the most sensitive and easily touched. Often for just an inexplicable reason, a man can deeply occupy a girl's heart and become the first love object that she will never forget.
This was exactly the case for Ye Xuan. When she came into contact with Hong Yanwu, she could not find this type of person in her room.
Hong Yanwu was intolerant of traditional ethics and had done many bad things. Although he was from a humble background, he did not take social class or rules seriously, and even had the courage to offend and destroy them. All of this inevitably made Ye Xuan feel surprised and panicked.
Feel.
But it was precisely this bold style, adventurous spirit, and rich experience that made Xuan Ye find it extremely exciting. She didn't even realize this clearly, so she couldn't help but ask Hong Yanwu to teach her diving.
And as the more contact and understanding deepened, Hong Yanwu became more and more unbelievably attractive.
Xuan Ye herself never expected that in a short period of time, she would be completely attracted by this person who seemed to be the opposite of "Prince Charming".
Yes, this is a really strange thing.
Obviously charm is a noble quality and cannot be associated with anything despicable. But why does Hong Yanwu, a person from the bottom of society, remind Xuan Ye of this word?
His appearance is not handsome at all, he can only be regarded as having good facial features. But the more people look at him, the more pleasing he becomes.
His figure is outstanding, but the numerous scars also represent brutality, impulsiveness, and danger. But somehow, this makes people feel a sincere sense of security.
Of course, there are problems in his social circle. He only knows people who are shady and will hide when they see the police. To put it bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to call this person a gangster.
But these people can also provide him with a lot of convenience. Whether they are eating or shopping, there are people greeting him everywhere, and there are people everywhere helping to queue up. Watching movies is the most obvious, and you can go there at any time.
There are tickets.
To be honest, even the mayor would envy this kind of privilege. It can give people a kind of vanity satisfaction.
Of course he didn't go to high school, but what's even more strange is that his horizons are not low, and he has read quite a few books. Moreover, he has many fantastic and interesting insights.
Although it is unavoidable that he is sophistry and strong-minded, and an argument with him can often make people very angry. But it also has a refreshing and thought-provoking effect.
And the most unexpected thing is that he also brought her a brand new capital.
In Ye Xuan's past impression, the capital was only composed of the Forbidden City, the Royal Garden, Tiananmen Square, the Monument to the People's Heroes, government agencies, and ministries and commissions. The places where she lived were except for military barracks, units, and small Western-style buildings, which are now courtyard houses.
.
But during these days of diving with Hong Yan, she suddenly discovered that the capital was actually made up of starlings, lark, pigeon whistle, pomegranate, jujube, and grape vines.
There are also the dragonflies sitting on the branches, the grasshoppers in the grass, the fish and shrimps in the park lake, the grasshoppers in the small cages, the windmills turning in the wind, the kites floating in the blue sky, and the kites rising in the morning and evening.
Smoke from cooking stoves, friendly greetings to free neighbors, and a chess game on the street that makes people want to fight to the end without eating...
She really didn't expect that the lives of ordinary people could be so interesting. There would be so much fun hidden in those dilapidated alleys.
For the first time, she realized that the essence and connotation of the capital city actually permeated the daily necessities, food, housing, and transportation of ordinary people. It was a way of life with rich sounds and colors, a long history, and a way of life that could be experienced in detail with sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
All of this is far more interesting and lively than the capital officially awarded to the capital.
Therefore, when she finally realized that the source of all this was Hong Yanwu, she not only believed that what he said at the Yang family was sincere and not artificial at all. She even had a feeling similar to that of being enchanted.
Effect.
It was as if she had been possessed by an evil spirit. Hong Yanwu seemed to suddenly become taller in her mind. These many impressions were superimposed on him, turning him into a figure shrouded in light.
He is quick in thinking, witty in conversation, far-sighted, omnipotent, and has strong judgment.
When talking to him, she would often be involuntarily attracted to him and accept his logic and insights. But soon afterwards, she would quickly fall into confusion that was different from her past understanding.
She really didn't know which of his words were jokes and which were real insights. She also didn't understand why he would always find ways to exploit the generally accepted consensus and express alternative truths that were enough to convince her.
In short, when she was with Hong Yanwu, she felt that another door to the world suddenly opened, which made her face swollen with nervousness and her palms all sweaty.
The unreasonable excitement often made her tremble involuntarily. The feeling was indescribable, like some kind of wonderful chemical change, as wonderful as an electrode. She was deeply yearned and obsessed with it.
This emotion will lead her to feel the ultimate power of life, which can be said to be an ecstatic feeling.
In short, she felt the feeling of getting rid of the constraints and truly living. She unknowingly began to bring Hong Yanwu fruits, cigarettes and alcohol. She advised him to smoke less and drink less...
What is even more difficult to express to others is that she often wakes up from a dream with a blushing face.
In this dream, she replaced Audrey Hepburn and became the princess in the movie "Roman Holiday", and the male protagonist played by Gregory Peck became Hong Yanwu.
The biggest difference from the movie is that at the end of the dream, her story does not end with the farewell scene at a public press conference. Instead, it ends in the Taoranting swimming pool.
The sun was moving slowly, and on the edge of the dazzling pool water, a figure like a Roman sculpture was reflected.
The muscular figure would often hug her tightly and kiss her...
