Boyfriend For Hire - Chapter 77
When the last and biggest knot was untied, Yang Xiao’s whole state has changed a lot.
She began to learn to treat Meng Yufan as a man (rather than a boy). She learned to take off the mask of the omnipotent superwoman in front of him, learn to show weakness, learn to rely on, and learn to act like a baby-although When Yang Xiao acted like a baby for the first time, Meng Yufan was so shocked that her chin was about to fall, and she wondered if she was upper body by a ghost-but in general, the effect was very good.
The cypress branch was treasured by Yang Xiao. She later checked the Internet and found that cypresses mean a hundred years of harmony. In Mum Meng’s hometown, this is the best blessing from the elders to the newlyweds.
She placed the brocade box on the head of the bed. The scent of cypress branches was very light and pure. When she fell asleep, the faint scent of pine wood would linger in her nose.
She told Tang Shuge what happened that day.
Tang Shuge went home to accompany his parents during the New Year, and the two could only contact each other by phone. Tang Shuge relies on writing for a living, and his emotions are more sensitive than ordinary people. After listening to her narration, Tang Shuge cried until he cried. He took half a box of paper and said that the story must be written into the novel. Tens of thousands of her readers shed tears for this beautiful love.
Tang Shuge sobbed and said, “Smile, I…hiccup, I can see it! There are only two sincere loves in this world that will never go bad. Even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses, they will always exist! Always bright! !!!”
Yang Xiao was curious and asked her: “Which two loves?”
Tang Shuge replied: “One section is you and Meng Yufan; the other section is me and my idol!!!”
Yang Xiao: “…” She said helplessly, “Thank you for looking so high.”
…
During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, Yang Xiao and Meng Yufan left their parents and played for a whole week without scruple.
In the previous Spring Festival, Meng Yufan spent the whole time at home or in the team. He did not go to relatives or go out to play. He had nothing to do, except to play ball.
But now with Yang Xiao, everything is different. The lonely and monotonous Spring Festival suddenly became so lively.
They went to the temple fair.
There were too many people there, and Yang Xiao was worried for a time that he would get separated from Meng Yufan. However, at the temple fair, she discovered that Meng Yufan was like a pin of Dinghai standing in the crowd. No matter how crowded the crowd was, she could see his head floating above the crowd by raising her neck.
They stopped in front of the stall, and Yang Xiao heard an old aunt next to her calling her family, saying, “There are so many people, why are you all gone in a blink of an eye? Where am I? I’m selling candied haws.” The stall is here! What? I know there are many stalls selling candied haws, but I am different here. There is a very tall man here! Very tall! You can see it when you come over!”
In the textbooks, I only learned to carve a boat and ask for a sword. The old aunt’s behavior is completely to carve a person for a sword!
The two of them stood beside the candied haws’ stall for a long time, and they didn’t leave silently until the old aunt’s family came over.
After the matter is gone, he will hide his merit and fame deeply. Yang Xiao and Meng Yufan looked at each other and laughed at the same time, feeling that the red scarves on their chests became more vivid.
…
They went to the amusement park again.
During the Spring Festival, there are few people in the amusement park, and the queue time for even the most popular items is only 20 minutes. It’s a pity that Meng Yufan’s height and weight are all over the limit, and many of the amusement facilities can’t be played. But it doesn’t matter, he can be responsible for being a human-shaped tripod and taking pictures of Yang Xiao.
Since graduating from high school, Yang Xiao has never been to an amusement park again. She let herself go, bought a huge bow headband that would sparkle at night, and chose a more fancy color to force Meng Yufan to accompany her. She wears it together. They took a group photo in front of the merry-go-round. In the photo, two childish adults face to face, the bows on top of their heads collided in the sun.
The balloons in the amusement park are very beautiful. They are double-layered. The outer layer is transparent, and the inner layer is covered with glitter. Meng Yufan bought Yang Xiao a handful, walking on the road like a moving rainbow mushroom cloud. Yang Xiao said that he was wasting money, but in a blink of an eye, she sent the photo of the balloon to the circle of friends, proudly showing off that it was given by her boyfriend.
When leaving the amusement park at night, these balloons really can’t be taken away. The two of them sneakily ran to the stroller parking area and tied one to the handle of each stroller. I hope this little surprise can be done by the children. A good dream.
…
They went to a neighboring city, where there was the only Ferris wheel in Asia that stood on a bridge. It straddled the Haihe River, and the transparent car slowly turned on the disc. The weather was very good that night. When you reached the highest point, you could look up at the stars in the sky, and you could also look down at the sparkling fishing boats rippling on the Haihe River.
They kissed at the place closest to the sky, and fireworks rose in the distance, exploded with a bang, hanging upside down in the night sky like a waterfall, turning into a new Milky Way.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, they slipped to a nearby temple.
Even at night, the temple is still brightly lit by candlelight. It is said that this temple is very spiritual and many locals come to worship.
The temple in Hwaseong does not allow pilgrims to offer offerings, but it is different here. Almost every pilgrim carries a large bag of melons and fruits. They handed the fruits to the little master who was in charge of the incense. The little master used the offering plate to form a tall fruit tower, and staggered to the front of the temple.
The gods and Buddhas with clay sculptures of golden sand sat in the main hall, staring at the green fruits.
The new plate of fruit is brought up, and the old one is removed. The masters put the offerings tainted with incense in the front of the temple, and a welcome box was erected next to it. Anyone can go up and get an apple or a persimmon.
Meng Yufan went to the temple to worship Buddha for the first time. He looked very seriously. He followed the manner of other old pilgrims. He knelt on the mat and worshiped. Two apples.
There is no place to clean here, he is not picky, just rubbed his body, and then gave the biggest one to Yang Xiao.
“Here, borrow flowers to offer Buddha.”
Yang Xiao took it, biting her teeth, leaving a shallow tooth mark on the big apple.
This is the most juicy, crisp, and sweetest apple Yang Xiao has ever eaten in this life.
…
Later, they also went to the basketball hall.
It is not the basketball hall of Huada, or the community basketball hall that can be seen everywhere on the street, but the home basketball hall of the cba Hwaseong team.
Because there is no competition during the Spring Festival, it is not open to the public. Meng Yufan grabbed the glass door and looked inside longingly.
“Sister Xiaoxiao, I have good news to share with you.”
“what news?”
“The coach said… if nothing happens, this cba draft qualification will be given to me.”
“!!!”
The cba draft is the only way for young Cuban players to advance to the cba stadium. Registration starts in May each year, and the preliminary screening list is announced in July, but the real qualification competition often starts six months in advance.
The number of places that each university team can report is extremely limited. Like the Hwaseong University team, there are only one or two places each year. Their school is considered a strong Cuban team, and there are many excellent players in the team. Meng Yufan waited silently, actively fighting, his hard work and dedication were seen by the coach.
In the Cuba region qualifiers that ended in the second half of last year, Meng Yufan performed brilliantly and grew rapidly. Captain Liu Fangzhou has decided to hand over the baton of the captain to him after graduation. Liu Fangzhou has signed up for the cba draft for two consecutive years, but he has been defeated for two years. This time, he did not want to waste this precious spot on himself, and decided to recommend Meng Yufan with all his strength.
Meng Yufan leaned on the door of the basketball hall and looked at the source of his courage: “Sister Xiaoxiao, when I won the mvp and promoted to CBA, you must be there.”
“I will.” Yang Xiao made a promise, “I will not miss your next game.”
…
On the last day of the holiday, Yang Xiao took Meng Yufan to a hand-made art shop.
There were not many shops that opened during the Spring Festival. Yang Xiao checked a series of lists from the Internet and called one by one to inquire, and finally found a shop that opened on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
That shop is very small. In a narrow alley, there are a lot of crooked pottery at the entrance of the shop, all made by customers; besides, there are also tie-dye scarves, hand-knitted dream catchers, and diy lipsticks. , Candles and so on, as long as they are diy products, they are all within their business scope.
Meng Yufan didn’t know why Yang Xiao brought him here—he was clumsy and couldn’t make any exquisite crafts.
“No, we must do this together.”
Yang Xiao pressed him to the tool table and motioned to the boss to bring up the DIY tool.
The boss brought some weird things, soft rubber molds, and some transparent “glue” with a pungent smell.
“This is glue.” Yang Xiao didn’t ask the boss to introduce him. He picked up the prepared glue bottle and shook it lightly. The viscous transparent liquid slowly flowed in it, “Pour it into the mold and you can do it. It can be used as keychains, decorations, etc., and the film can be removed after the shape is finalized. If you put the glitter next to it, you can make the work shining.”
Meng Yufan looked at the handicrafts displayed on the shelves around him, and suddenly became interested: “Then what do we do? I think that little bear is very cute, and that little bunny’s key chain is also good…”
“No, let’s not do those fancy ones.” Yang Xiao took out a small box from his bag and slowly unfolded it-inside was a cluster of cypress branches. She said, “The broken branches will wither one day. I want to seal them up. Would you like to help me?”
Only then did Meng Yufan understand Yang Xiao’s true intentions.
The cypress branches that Meng’s parents gave her were extremely important, and she couldn’t bear to see them withering day by day, so she thought of a way to preserve them forever.
She hoped it would stay with her forever, just like Meng Yufan.
She took the two most complete clusters of needles at the top of the branches, carefully placed them in the mold, and then injected the glue by Meng Yufan’s hands.
She chose a round and a square pendant mold, each of which was only slightly larger than the nail. The emerald green cypress needles are quietly suspended in the transparent glue, and its life is forever preserved in these two pendants.
Because the volume of the work is small, it dries off quickly. Yang Xiao put the square pendant on her necklace and fell on top of her heart; while the other round pendant was tied to the colored rope of Meng Yufan’s wrist, the cypress pendant It pressed tightly to the boy’s wrist, listening to his pulse beating.
When she tied Meng Yufan’s hand strap, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes focused.
Meng Yufan couldn’t hold back, bowed his head and kissed it.
