Long Time Loved Friend - Chapter 6
At 8:00 am on Saturday, Yunzhi set off from home, and the drive took an hour. She and Nan Qiao made an appointment to meet at the foot of the mountain at 9:30.
It was exactly nine o’clock when we arrived at the foot of Yunshan Temple.
No matter who he is meeting with, Yun Zhi likes to arrive half an hour early, not only as a habit but also as a courtesy.
The Yunshan Temple is on the top of Mt. Mill. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, you have to walk a section of the mountain road, and you need to climb 99 steps, which is a physical effort.
There are many rules in the temple, and no stalls are allowed around, so the foot of the mountain has become a gathering place for stalls.
As soon as Yun Zhi got out of the car, he heard shouts, and the whole street in front of him was full of stalls, selling everything from food to jewelry.
“Little girl, buy a string of Buddha beads bracelet! Stay safe!”
As soon as Yun Zhi approached and took a look at the stall, he was stopped by a jewelry seller. Her wrists were covered with bracelets, all of which were Buddhist beads.
“No, thank you.” Yun Zhi refused.
“You don’t like bracelets, so look at the amulets, what kind do you like? Hanging stickers or wearing them with you?”
After the woman gave a sales pitch, Yun Zhi waved her hands again and again in fright: “No need, no need.”
Maybe it was because seeing Yunzhi really didn’t want it, the woman didn’t talk to her anymore, she turned her head and talked to the person next to her.
Even though it was only nine o’clock in the morning, the sun was already shining, and several beams of sunlight hit the stalls. This scene made Yunzhi touch the camera in his hand, and he could put this group of pictures into the world of fireworks. set.
“Little girl has a good eye. These Buddhist beads were used by the former abbot of Yunshan Temple. I just opened the stall today and it’s the last string. Here’s a discount for you. How about getting it for 399?”
Yun Zhi just picked up the camera and paused for a moment, then glanced at the stall, and saw that the woman was introducing a couple just now.
She adjusted the camera while thinking, no one really believed this, right?
What she didn’t expect was that the two of them really believed it, and the man spent money without even thinking about it to make his girlfriend happy, and bought that pretty string of prayer beads bracelets.
But whether you believe it or not is someone else’s business, maybe the Buddhist beads are real. Yun Zhi brushed his ears and hair, no longer entangled in this matter, took a few steps back, and took a picture of the distant scene.
Time passed by, and there were more and more people at the foot of the mountain. It was almost half past nine.
Only then did Nan Qiao send a message saying that she couldn’t come due to something on the way, and I hope she won’t be angry.
Yun Zhi didn’t reply to the message directly, but made a phone call. She wanted to ask what made her go back on what she said.
But the phone was hung up, and Nan Qiao sent a message saying that it was inconvenient for her to drive.
It’s inconvenient to drive, isn’t it convenient before?
Yun Zhi let out a long sigh of relief, the vendors around her were still yelling, a continuous stream of pedestrians passed by her, crowded, someone pushed her inadvertently, Yun Zhi staggered back two steps.
It didn’t hurt to dodge in time, but at this moment Yun Zhi felt wronged.
The man still stopped where he was and apologized to her repeatedly, saying that he didn’t do it on purpose. Yun Zhi still felt aggrieved, his eyes started to heat up, and he endured the soreness and said to the man, “It’s okay.”
Then the man left in peace.
Yun Zhi found a bench and sat down, looked down at the camera in his hand, and the hands on his wrist pointed to nine thirty-one.
“I should have guessed.”
After a long time, Yun Zhi muttered to himself.
After sitting on the bench for a few minutes, Yun Zhicai picked up the camera and planned to take two random photos before going to Yunshan Temple.
As soon as Yun Zhi fixed his eyes on the viewfinder frame, he paused. She raised her head and looked not far away, there was a familiar woman standing in front of the stall where she had just got off the bus.
In a red knee-length chiffon skirt, her long black and thick hair was casually fixed behind her head with clippers. There were fine bangs on both sides of her cheeks. Listen to the speech of the proprietress of the stall.
Yu Mingxia.
When he silently said the name, Yun Zhi had already pressed the shutter several times.
The picture is so beautiful, it is worth freezing.
Yu Mingxia was still listening to the lady boss, not paying attention to the surrounding environment.
After taking the photo, Yun Zhi walked towards Yu Mingxia.
The closer they got, the clearer the conversation between them came to her—
“Little girl, I won’t lie to you. These beads were used by the former abbot of Yunshan Temple. The stall just opened today and it’s the last string. I’ll give you a discount. Get it at 399. How about it?”
Why are these words so familiar? Isn’t this what the proprietress just said to the couple?
Yu Mingxia wouldn’t really plan to buy it, would he?
Although it’s not her money, but she and Yu Mingxia met once, and they are also in the friend list anyway, so if you can save her wallet, save it, but…
There is no more.
Before he thought of the reason not to intervene, Yun Zhi had already walked to her side and held Yu Mingxia’s hand that was about to take the mobile phone from his bag to pay.
The sudden force seemed to scare Yu Mingxia, and he looked at Yun Zhi with doubts in his eyes.
But he didn’t struggle to shake off her hand.
“What a coincidence, are you going to Yunshan Temple too?” Yun Zhi didn’t let go of her wrist, and smiled and winked at her.
After her interruption, Yu Mingxia forgot what he was about to do just now, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said joyfully, “What a coincidence.”
Yun Zhi nodded: “I have something to do with you.”
Before Yu Mingxia could speak, the proprietress at the side first gave her a look, as if she was scolding her for cutting her money.
“Little girl, look again, this is the Buddhist beads touched by the abbot of Yunshan Temple, little girl…”
In view of Yu Mingxia’s performance just now, Yun Zhi dragged her away without thinking.
When she ran to the bench she was sitting on earlier, the stall owner was still glaring at her.
Yun Zhi was sitting on the bench, and Yu Mingxia was standing on her right, with a dazed expression, not knowing what happened.
Seeing that she didn’t plan to sit down, and the proprietress was still glaring at her in the distance, Yun Zhi reached out and pulled Yu Mingxia’s wrist, letting her stand in front of him, blocking the proprietress’ hostile gaze.
Yu Mingxia looked down at her left wrist, and vaguely felt that her wrist was burning hot, burning her skin, and she flinched a little.
Yun Zhimin noticed it, thought that Yu Mingxia was concerned about her touch, and quickly let go of her hand: “I’m sorry.”
Yu Mingxia didn’t seem to hear her words, and still looked down at his wrist.
Speaking of which, the two of them were not familiar yet, so they grabbed his wrist twice, seeing Yu Mingxia’s expression made Yunzhi feel a little strange in his heart.
Wouldn’t it be cleanliness or something? So should she buy a bottle of disinfectant now to disinfect her?
As soon as he thought about it, Yunzhi began to look around to see where there was something like hand sanitizer or disinfectant.
“You just said you wanted to find me?” Yu Mingxia just stood in front of her and asked with lowered eyes.
“Ah, it’s not a big deal, it’s just that what the proprietress told you just now, I heard her tell someone else half an hour ago, so…”
Yu Mingxia doesn’t think she’s meddling in her own business, does she? She didn’t expect that Yu Mingxia would really plan to buy it.
“Thank you.” Yu Mingxia suddenly said softly.
Yun Zhi shook his head and said you’re welcome, it’s fine if he doesn’t think she’s meddling.
It was also the first time for her to see a person with such a big contrast. When she first met, she felt cold and glamorous, which made her feel difficult to get close to. After getting in touch, she felt that the other person was gentle and understanding. When they met again… it seemed a little innocent.
“Are you alone?” Yu Mingxia looked at her and asked.
Wen Yan Yunzhi suddenly lowered his eyes, unconsciously touched the edge of the camera, and hummed.
Yu Mingxia looked up and looked not far away, there were two women walking towards her, and the woman in front even quickened her pace and shook the mineral water in her hand.
– “Don’t come.”
The woman headed by Yu Mingxia made a mouth shape, the man stopped in his tracks, glanced at the figure sitting on the bench in front of her, seemed to understand something, and pulled the other woman beside her.
The two of them just stopped not far away, and did not approach her again.
Yun Zhicai realized that just after she pulled Yu Mingxia to stand in front of her, Yu Mingxia didn’t move his position.
“Sit down.” Yun Zhiyuan wanted to pull her wrist to make her sit down, but then remembered Yu Mingxia’s movement of rubbing her wrist just now, and put down his raised hand, not daring to touch her.
Seeing her movements, Yu Mingxia pursed his lips, sat down beside her, and said after a while:
“I had an appointment with my friends, but they left first, and I was also alone.”
Leaving first – went to buy water.
Yu Mingxia silently added in his heart.
“It’s such a coincidence?” Yun Zhi’s tone was a little joyful, as if he had met someone who had the same experience as him, and when he met Yu Mingxia’s eyes, he realized that his joy seemed to be at the wrong time.
With a light cough, what he didn’t want to say before opened up his heart because of Yu Mingxia’s words just now, Yun Zhi whispered: “I also made an appointment with a friend, but she seems to have something to do, so I missed the appointment temporarily.”
It seemed that because he had found a companion, Yun Zhi was disappointed when he said this, but thought of something a few seconds later, and invited her: “If you don’t mind, let’s go together? The League of the Lost.”
“Okay.” Yu Mingxia responded with a smile.
“Then let’s go now.” Yun Zhi got up from the bench.
At this time, the mobile phone in Yu Mingxia’s bag was vibrating non-stop. After Yun Zhi got up and followed her half a step behind, she turned on the mobile phone to check the news.
I also guessed that it was her sister who had just been driven away by her.
Yu Chuxue: [What does it mean to let us go away? 】
[Who is that girl? 】
【your friend? 】
[It’s friends, why can’t we be together? 】
[Or is it someone you like? 】
[Treat us as outsiders, afraid of disturbing you? 】
【Then you should thank me for pulling you here. 】
Yu Mingxia glanced at her, and replied: 【Don’t know me, thank you. 】
Yu Chuxue replied in seconds: [You actually thanked me? ! 】
The road up the mountain is very crowded, even if there is a long queue in an orderly manner, the intersection is blocked.
Yunzhi stepped on his feet and glanced ahead. They had to wait for a while, and were just about to talk to Yu Mingxia, but at this time someone ran out from the front of the team, without paying attention for a moment, Yunzhi was bumped, and when his body was unstable, Yu Mingxia, who followed her half a step behind, hugged her waist and followed her strength to stabilize.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” The person who bumped into bowed a few times to apologize, and left before she could respond.
Yun Zhi came back to his senses: “Thank you.”
Yu Mingxia pursed his lips and clenched his palms tightly. Not only his wrists were hot, but his whole body was hot, and his earlobes were even hotter.
“It’s too hot, I’ll go buy a bottle of water.” Before Yun Zhi noticed her abnormality, Yu Mingxia hurriedly said.
“Ah, I’m with you.” Yunzhi didn’t notice anything unusual, it was almost ten o’clock, and the weather was indeed getting hotter.
Yu Mingxia didn’t refuse, and the two walked to the cold drink stand.
I met many people on the road, including the friend Yu Mingxia had just mentioned.
Yu Chuxue and Qu Lan watched the two enter the cold drink shop, even though they passed by, they didn’t call her out.
“Is that Ming Xia’s friend? Why don’t you come with us?” Qu Lan didn’t know the truth, so she asked Yu Chuxue beside her.
“Maybe we just met each other.” Of course Yu Chuxue could guess that Yu Mingxia cared about this girl beyond the boundaries of friends, but she didn’t tell Qu Lan.
“If I hadn’t dragged her here, would she have known this friend?” Yu Chuxue was still brooding over what happened two days ago, and she also wanted her to come out to relax because she saw that Yu Mingxia had stayed in the room for too long.
“Eh… Actually, this link was sent by Ming Xia.” Although Qu Lan didn’t know what happened to the two sisters, she still reminded her truthfully.
Yu Chuxue: “?”
It was only later that Yu Chuxue realized that she had been swayed by Yu Mingxia.
“But this girl looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere.” Yu Chuxue thought about Yun Zhi who just passed her by, thinking.
