Chapter 2-Revisiting the old place

2753 Words
The plane landed safely at Sifang Airport. Chen Yuxing packed up his backpack and got off the plane with the flow of people. He had a feeling of being close to home, and at the same time, he also retained a sense of expectation deep in his consciousness. This is not his hometown. This timid feeling and the goal of expectation all point to one person. That gentle, lovely and passionate girl——Li Xiaoqing. When Chen Yuxing walked out of the airport, until he got on the airport bus, he was still in a trance, as if he had traveled back to the early spring five years ago, and the girl he missed day and night was waiting for his arrival at the front of his journey. After nearly 50 minutes of journey, the airport bus stopped at the parking lot of Sifang Blue Sky Hotel. He got off the bus, took a taxi and went straight to the inn he booked. The inns in Sifang Ancient City are quite famous! There are probably more than 2,000 inns, large and small, in the ancient city! It can be said that the inn is the soul of the ancient city. It has the characteristics of the ancient city and the story of the ancient city. Some people say that it is a waste of time to visit the ancient city without staying in an inn. It is really not an exaggeration at all. The Old Town Story Inn is located on Wuyi Street in the ancient city of Sifang. It is a typical Naxi courtyard. The inn is simply decorated, clean, hygienic, comfortable and elegant, and it is far away from the nightly entertainment on Sifang Street in the center of the ancient city. The main door of the Small Town Story Inn is in a doorway. The doorway is only more than one meter wide and nearly three meters deep. There are two 10 cm diameter door knockers hanging on the old brown wooden door. When you knock on the door, there will be a "bang bang" sound. There are two stone fences on both sides of the door, with two stone toads lying on them. A yellow puppy has been lying in the doorway for many years. Whenever a guest of the hotel passes by, it will shake it away vigorously. Half hairy tail. A black plaque hangs vertically on the left side of the door, with the words "Small Town Story" written in Yan style. The word "Inn" is very small and written horizontally at the bottom of the plaque. Chen Yuxing walked under the plaque, stretched out his right index finger and gently wrote the word "story", as if he had returned to that beautiful spring day five years ago. Chen Yuxing and Li Xiaoqing met for the first time under this black plaque. -------------------------------------------------------------- ---- A girl is carrying a snow-white shoulder bag, her long hair is draped over a vest, and is gently held with a silver ribbon. She wears a bright yellow cultural shirt on her upper body, tight jeans on her lower body, and a pair of white Nike travel shoes. She gently hits her back with her left hand. Waist, right hand stretched out the index finger and gently traced the word "story". Chen Yuxing stood next to the girl who had her back turned to him and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Small Town Story Inn?" Chen Yuxing did not knowingly ask to get close to the girl. The girl's hand blocked the word "Inn" below. He wasn't sure this was the inn he had reserved. "Yes, you are here to stay in the hotel, and so am I." She turned around and glanced at Yu Xing sideways with a smile, then stuck out her little tongue and smiled shyly. "I haven't gone in yet." The girl said as she picked up her backpack and walked towards the doorway. The little yellow dog lying next to the stone toad in the doorway shook its bald tail vigorously at Xiaoqing. The moment the girl turned around, Chen Yuxing was stunned. He was stunned by the girl's innocent, innocent and romantic look, and it took a while for his soul to return to his body. The girl looks to be about 20 years old, with a white and delicate face, a pair of water-like eyes, light eyebrows, a straight nose, light red lips, and her quiet eyes seem to have a bottomless feeling like the ocean. , people are photographed by her, ashamed of herself, and dare not blaspheme. Coupled with her youthful and flamboyant clothes, it is like the latest Lamborghini sports car parked in this ancient Naxi courtyard, so dazzling. Chen Yuxing was stunned for a moment and then walked into the inn. The girl was checking in. Chen Yuxing stood beside the girl and waited, glancing sideways at the ID card placed on the counter. "Li Xiaoqing, 21 years old, two years younger than me." Chen Yuxing thought in his heart. "Room 208, go up to the second floor and turn left." The waiter handed the access card to Li Xiaoqing. Chen Yuxing's room is 207, which is exactly opposite the door to 208. After completing the check-in procedure, he walked to the second floor and saw Li Xiaoqing tinkering with the door with the access card, but could not open the door. "Let me help you." Chen Yuxing's thoughts were pure. When he saw her embarrassed and anxious look, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Chen Yuxing, the first love brother, was still unaware that he had fallen in love with Li Xiaoqing the moment they first met outside the inn. "Sorry, I'm stupid." Li Xiaoqing handed the access card to Yu Xing and stretched out her little tongue again in embarrassment. He opened the door for her and handed her the key card. "Okay. If you need any help, please ask me." He pointed to room 207 opposite. This was Ayu Xing's subconscious move to avoid suspicion. He didn't want the girl to suspect that he was approaching her intentionally or following her with ill intentions. Chen Yuxing was unnecessary. A one-minded girl like Li Xiaoqing was as complicated as he thought. Li Xiaoqing took the key card and smiled at Yuxing. Yuxing felt as if electricity was flowing through his body. "Thank you!" He waved and walked into the room. Only then did Chen Yuxing discover that her cultural shirt had a big red heart and a capital black "I" printed on her chest. This is the first encounter between Chen Yuxing and Li Xiaoqing. -------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Chen Yuxing, caught in memories, gently described the word "story", with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes showing a hint of tenderness that reached deep into his heart. The little yellow dog in front of the inn is already showing its age, but it still faithfully greets its owner's guests, and its bald tail is still wagging hard towards Yuxing. Entering the inn, he asked for room 207. He stood silently in front of the door of Room 208 for a few seconds, then put away his ups and downs, opened the door and walked into Room 207. The next day, Chen Yuxing got up on time at that time of the year. A night of suffering made his eyes slightly black. He didn't care about this, hurriedly washed and ate, picked up the backpack he carried that time of year, and embarked on a journey to find his first love. All morning, Chen Yuxing wandered aimlessly in Sifang City. At that time of the year, he came to the XX Jewelry and Jade Shop on the edge of the square on time. He sat on the stone bench facing the jewelry store and watched the fat boss warmly receiving his customers with a smile on his face. The fat boss has not changed much, except that there is no longer a single hair on his already bald head, and he is still wearing a white shirt with his store name and LOGO printed on it. His second encounter with Li Xiaoqing was related to this fat boss. -------------------------------------------------------------- ---- The next morning, Chen Yuxing got up early and went to the inn's small buffet restaurant for breakfast. Chen Yuxing had the longest breakfast in the small restaurant of more than ten square meters. He did not wait for the arrival of the girl in room 208, and then Yuxing left the small restaurant awkwardly under the puzzled gaze of the short, fat black waitress in the restaurant. When Zi Xing returned to the room, he deliberately stayed in front of the door for a while, listening quietly to the movement in room 208. There was no sound in the room. It was obvious that the girl named Li Xiaoqing had already left the inn and went out to play. Chen Yuxing carried his backpack with an inexplicable regret and left the inn to join the group of people visiting Sifang Ancient City. After wandering around for several hours, Yuxing, who lacked exercise, was tired. He took a sip of mineral water to moisten his burning throat, and looked around for a place to rest through the crowds of people passing each other. A middle-aged couple stood up on a stone bench. He ran two steps and sat down. Then he took a long breath, stretched his legs with enjoyment, and took a sip of water. The water filled his mouth. He turned around, his throat moved and he swallowed. The next moment, his right hand that rotated the cap of the mineral water bottle stopped, and his eyes looked straight ahead. Opposite him is a jewelry and jade shop. In the wide open store, a familiar and beautiful background is haggling with a fat middle-aged man in the store. Chen Yuxing quickly left the stone bench that had made him comfortable for more than ten seconds and hurried into the jewelry store. "This is a real Douzhong A product. Look at how much water there is. I also see that your little girl is fresh and cute, so I give you a 20% discount. Eight hundred, not a penny less." The fat boss was full of confidence. Mo Di boasted and tried his best to sell the jade in his hand, but he did not forget to compliment the girl at the right time. The girl is holding a small Guanyin pendant in her hand. It is less than one centimeter wide and about two centimeters long. It is green in color and is indeed attractive to people, especially girls. But Chen Yuxing relied on more than a year of "mineralogy" study in his geology major and the professional knowledge he learned after several years of hard work in the mineral laboratory. He was able to identify real and fake gems with ease. It can be seen at a glance that this is a fake, and it is fake and cannot be colored in the fake nephrite. There is no more than ten yuan on the street stalls. The girl seemed to like this pendant very much and was fooled by the fat boss's praise. She hesitated for a while and gave a new price. "Three hundred, I want it." The fat boss became anxious when he heard this, and his eyes widened, as if a piece of flesh from his heart had been dug out. "Miss, you are too good. I don't have the skills to bargain like you. Cut it in half and cut it in half again. Seven hundred, if you want, take it." The fat boss pretended to have lost a pound of fat and said heartbrokenly. "Xiaoqing, I left my wallet in the room. I don't have that much money with me. Let's buy it again in the afternoon." Before the girl expressed her position, Chen Yuxing grabbed her hand with one hand, grabbed the pendant with the other hand and stuffed it into the fat boss's hand, and walked out of the store. Li Xiaoqing was startled and plucked his fingers with her other hand. When she saw clearly that it was Chen Yuxing, she stopped and followed him out of the store full of suspicion. "Hey, miss, don't leave. I'll sell it for three hundred yuan." The fat boss was obviously really anxious and shouted to the two of them. Seeing the two of them walking away, he muttered a few curse words. At the same time, it was also announced that the business was aborted. Li Xiaoqing also understood at this time that she had almost been deceived just now, so she said with gratitude: "Thank you!" This was the second time she thanked Yuxing. Then she wrinkled her little nose and clenched her little fists and said bitterly: "This damn fat man actually dared to lie to me." "I still have a little research on gems. His product is the worst colored nephrite and is not worth ten yuan. It is best not to buy such expensive-looking things in this kind of scenic spot. It is easy to be fooled. "Yu Xing made a very arrogant pose and said in a flirtatious manner. "Can you let go of my hand?" Li Xiaoqing said in a soft voice with her cheeks slightly red. Chen Yuxing let go of his hand in embarrassment, rubbed it in a cute way, and made a "humming" sound in his mouth, not knowing what he said. Chen Yuxing was reluctant to let go of her little hand. The soft, smooth and delicate feeling made him linger. "You are traveling alone." In order to break the awkward atmosphere between the two, Yuxing said coquettishly. "Yeah, I'm so bored at home alone. I see you're also traveling alone, right?" Yuxing nodded, took out a bottle of iced black tea from his backpack and handed it to Li Xiaoqing. "Are you thirsty?" Xiaoqing accepted the drink helplessly, but she didn't have much objection to Yuxing's familiar behavior. She secretly looked at Yuxing. I saw that he had messy black hair, big black eyes, a high bridge of nose, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, giving him a bad feeling. With a height of 1.75 meters, although he is only considered to be of average height in the north, he still seems to stand out in the south. He has a well-proportioned body shape and strong muscles, and he has the potential to be a "sportsman". Xiaoqing did not open the drink, but followed Yuxing silently, like a submissive little daughter-in-law. "Where are you going?" Yuxing asked. "I should take a look at the small souvenirs." She answered carefully, fearing that Yuxing would stop her from shopping. "I don't have a purpose, you can do whatever you want." Yuxing really didn't have a particular place he wanted to go to. His trip to the ancient city was just for relaxation. It didn't matter where he went or what he saw. Yuxing slowed down slightly and followed Xiaoqing. The two of them walked around Sifang City together in a tacit understanding. As time passed and the road traveled became longer, the shy Xiaoqing became more and more lively. "Bad guy, take a picture for me." Xiaoqing took out her digital camera. "Um". Yuxing took the camera flatteringly and put on a standard photographer's pose. He muttered exaggeratedly: "What a pity." "What did you say?" A bunch of cartoon-like question marks appeared above Xiaoqing's head. "I said it's a pity. It's a pity that there is no scenery that suits you as a background." When Yuxing was in college, there was no girl in his class, which was commonly known as the "monk" class. He has rarely had contact with girls in the past four years, so he should have lacked experience in interacting with girls, but he is self-taught and knows how to please Li Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing's curved eyes looked more like crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth were completely raised, revealing a row of white teeth. Yuxing took the opportunity to take a few photos. "You are so exaggerated!" Xiaoqing was filled with joy and humbly said proudly. "The conscience of heaven and earth." Yuxing touched his heart with his right hand and said devoutly. "I'll take some pictures for you, too." Xiaoqing took the camera and urged Yuxing to pose.
