The Boyfriend Who I’ve Never Met - Chapter 58
Two days before New Year’s Eve, Xie Tao returned to Qizhen.
Fu Miaolan was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, and she seemed to have gained a lot more weight.
Everything in the town seems to be the same as she left, nothing has changed.
It’s just that red lanterns are hung up on the streets and alleys, and gradually there are people who go out to work in the town to come back, adding a bit more lively New Year flavor than usual.
In the early morning, there was still cold fog, forming a hazy shadow on the bridge. The branches lacking soft greenery were reflected in the water waves under the bridge, pushing away layer by layer, ripples slightly.
Xie Tao and Aunt Fu took her daughter Fuhua for breakfast at the breakfast shop in Qiaotou.
She hasn’t eaten cold noodles here for a long time.
Today she ordered a large bowl.
“Taotao, how are you doing in Nanshi? Are you stressful of studying?” Fu Miaolan asked her while drinking the porridge.
“I’m fine, Aunt Fu.”
Xie Tao held the bowl and smiled at her, “You can keep up with your studies, don’t worry.”
Fu Miaolan pushed a small bowl of porridge in front of her, and looked up and down Xie Tao. Seeing that she showed no signs of weight loss, and her face turned pale and red, she was relieved a lot.
“You are out alone, so don’t treat yourself badly. If you have any difficulties, just tell Aunt Fu, don’t carry it by yourself, you know?” Fu Miaolan reached out and touched Xie Tao’s head, with a look of love again. Pity again.
Xie Tao responded, “I know, Aunt Fu.”
In the afternoon, Fu Miaolan went out to buy things for the New Year, so she left Xie Tao and Fu Hua to see the shop.
Xie Tao has been making shortbread candy here for more than a year, and when she comes back, she is still so familiar with the placement of everything here.
After making a batch of peanut-flavored shortbread candies, Xie Tao packed a box by herself and fed Fuhua a few pieces. The rest was placed in a glass cabinet filled with warm yellow tubes.
After a while, there were many regular customers of Fujia Cake Shop.
One by one, seeing Xie Tao come back, they all smiled and greeted her, and some even gave her the pastry they had just bought.
Xie Tao couldn’t get rid of it, so she could only accept it with a smile.
“Sister Taotao, can I eat it?” Fuhua looked at the pastries wrapped in kraft paper in her hands, her eyes full of innocence.
Although she is already fifteen years old, she has always been this child’s mind because of her brain burnt when she was a child.
Xie Tao untied the string tied to the outside, unfolded the kraft paper, and passed the chestnut osmanthus cake inside to her, “Eat the flowers.”
Fuhua bit the pastry, with crumbs standing beside her mouth, looking at her with a smile.
Xie Tao did her homework for a while, and then looked at the “Uncut Jade” she had brought from Wei Yun for a while.
Later, Fu Miaolan finally came back with a big bag and a small bag.
Xie Tao hurried to help her with that thing.
“You tell me you are not here for New Year’s Eve, where are you going to spend it?” Fu Miaolan heard her talk about things that cannot be spent here on New Year’s Eve in the morning. At this time, she and Xie Tao carried things before. In the backyard, as if suddenly remembering something, she quickly asked, “Taotao, are you going home to celebrate the New Year?”
She thought Xie Tao finally figured it out this time.
Xie Tao shook her head, “No, Aunt Fu.”
Fu Miaolan heard this, “Then where are you going?”
“Tao Tao, don’t run around during the Chinese New Year, beware of bad people.”
She still asked not to worry about it.
Xie Tao pursed her lips and smiled, and said, “I…I’m going to a friend, don’t worry, Aunt Fu.”
After thinking about it, she didn’t plan to tell Aunt Fu about Wei Yun, she wanted to wait a little longer.
At dusk, Fuhua took Xie Tao’s hand and asked Xie Tao to go out with her.
Xie Tao talked to Fu Miaolan, and then went out with Fu Hua.
In this cold weather, it was time for dinner again, so there were not many people walking around in the town.
Until, her cell phone suddenly started ringing.
It’s Wei Yun.
Xie Tao turned her head and glanced at Fuhua, and when she saw her squatting not far away playing with a puppy, she pressed the ON button.
The moment the video call was connected, Xie Tao saw Wei Yun’s figure on the phone screen.
“Where is this?”
Wei Yun asked as if he saw the moving scene behind her, which was different from the high-rise buildings in Nanshi.
“It’s Qizhen!”
Xie Tao changed the lens of the phone and showed him the surrounding scene.
The mottled walls with the white paint off, the wooden bucket arches with the color stripped off, and the angled eaves with copper bells…Occasionally, you can skip the shadows of the faint trees beside the moat, and you can see the river from a distance Stone arch bridge.
Xie Tao stopped suddenly and stood there.
Under her feet, there is a bluestone road that is not smooth enough.
Wei Yun watched the two rows of carved wooden doors and windows stretch out, and they became blurred in the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance. The red lanterns on the cornices swayed with the sound of the wind, and the setting sun fell on this quiet bluestone street, in twos and threes. Pedestrians come and go.
He suddenly heard her say, “It seems that I picked up the phoenix tail scales here.”
After listening to what Sheng Yueqi said, Xie Tao also began to think about when the phoenix tail scale landed in her phone.
After thinking about it, it was only when she was riding her bicycle to the station.
When she fell off the bicycle, she clearly saw a mysterious light curtain, as if something else flew out and cut her eyelids.
Xie Tao originally thought that the light curtain was just a momentary illusion.
But since she was with Wei Yun, and since she began to know that there are two time and space, she found that the light curtain she had seen before did not seem to be an illusion.
Although, she did not have time to see exactly what the thing that pierced her eyelid looked like.
Xie Tao turned the camera back, still eating candy in her mouth, her voice was a little vague, “This is where I lived before returning to Nanshi.”
Before Wei Yun spoke, he saw that another head suddenly appeared on the light curtain.
That is a girl who still looks immature and young.
“Wow……”
When Fuhua saw Wei Yun on the screen of Xie Tao’s phone, her eyes widened. She pointed to the screen of the phone and looked at Xie Tao, “This brother is so beautiful!”
Xie Tao was taken aback by Fuhua who suddenly came over.
The sugar in her mouth was swallowed by her. She patted her chest and coughed several times, and the corners of her eyes were faintly moist.
In such a quiet street corner, her coughing sound was especially clear.
Wei Yun frowned.
“you……”
He was just about to say something when he heard Wei Jing’s voice from outside the door.
“My lord, someone was sent from the palace, saying that your majesty invited you into the palace.”
When Wei Yun heard this, his eyebrows, which had already softened a little, suddenly added a bit of coldness, “I see.”
Xie Tao heard it too, and she couldn’t help saying, “It’s almost dark this day, and the emperor there is asking you to work overtime…”
The term overtime is actually somewhat appropriate.
When Wei Yun looked at her in the light curtain, there were a few smiles in his eyes, “I’ll go and return.”
“Go ahead!” Xie Tao waved toward the phone screen.
When the video call was hung up, the sky was getting darker, and Xie Tao took Fuhua back.
When I returned, Fu Miaolan had already prepared dinner.
After a dinner, Xie Tao and Fuhua played for a while.
She has been waiting for Wei Yun, but until after ten o’clock in the evening, when she finished washing and lay down on Fuhua’s bed, she still did not wait for his news.
She didn’t know when, she fell asleep in a daze.
Wei Yun returned with the stars, shaking off the fine snow on his body, and his whole body was full of bitter cold.
After bathing in the bath room, he only returned to the main courtyard.
It was late at night, and Wei Yun didn’t want to disturb Xie Tao anymore, but he lay on the bed for a long time, and finally got out of bed.
Pour the gold powder into the incense burner on the table, and the moment the fire folds the gold powder, there is a thick mist that winds out from the gaps in the incense burner, like the clouds that are surging above the nine heavens, cascading and dispersing.
When the girl’s figure gradually revealed, Wei Yun held her in time.
She was wearing a furry long-sleeved warm orange nightdress that was only knee-length, so her straight and slender calves and even her feet were exposed in front of his eyes.
She was still asleep, showing no signs of waking up.
Wei Yun retracted his gaze and raised his chin slightly, as if for a moment he didn’t know where he should put his gaze.
Weber burned a charcoal fire in the house before he returned, and at this moment the interior did not feel cold.
Wei Yun gently picked her up, put her on the bed, pulled the quilt over her body, and wrapped her tightly.
Xie Tao’s mouth was slightly open at this moment, as if she was sleeping deeply. She unconsciously turned her face to one side, scratched the tip of her nose with her hand, and her breathing gradually calmed down.
Wei Yun sat on the edge of the bed and watched her unconscious little movements in her sleep for a long time.
After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers.
At that moment, Xie Tao frowned, but rubbed her face into his palm.
For no idea why, the corners of Wei Yun’s lips were slightly bent, and the pupils of his forehead and forehead, his ears soaked in the color of lights, seemed to have added warmth.
Only at this moment, when looking at her quietly in this way, would he relax slightly, even his eyebrows, unexplainably stretched.
Until her lips touched his palm unconsciously, Wei Yun suddenly retracted his hand and stood up. When he turned around, he came across a small table beside him. The books on top fell off the lid of the tea cup. , Made a clear sound.
When he turned his head, he ran into a pair of dim eyes.
Xie Tao also reacted for a while, and even yawned before she realized where she was.
And the young boy in front of her was dressed in a snow-white single robe with long hair, standing there like a sculpture that would not move.
“Wei Yun?”
When Xie Tao called him now, there was still a bit of sleepiness in her voice, “I told you that you need to save some gold powder. It’s so late. What are you asking me to come over?”
Her voice sounded in his ears, and it was still familiar, soft and faint.
Wei Yun’s throat moved, before he spoke, he heard her yawn again and asked him, “Aren’t you sleepy?”
Then, he saw the **** the bed shrink inward, lifted a corner of the quilt, and looked at him again.
Wei Yun stood there, his eyelashes trembled, “Don’t…”
But before he finished speaking, he saw that Xie Tao had lifted the quilt and ran over from the bed barefoot and pulled his sleeves.
The ground was originally covered with only a thin layer of carpet, which could not stop the cold on the ground.
Seeing her running barefoot, Wei Yun frowned instantly, almost without even thinking about it, and hugged her directly.
Xie Tao reflexively hooked his legs around his waist and put his arms around his neck.
Her own face blushed first, but she didn’t mean to let go.
“It’s cold on the ground.”
Wei Yun’s eyes were always looking straight ahead, without looking at her.
Until he hugged Xie Tao to the bed again, he originally wanted to put her down, but she put her arms around his neck and didn’t mean to come down at all.
“Come down.” Wei Yun said helplessly.
“I do not.”
Xie Tao buried his head on his chest.
“Xie Tao.” He called out her name, but after all he was not willing to say anything serious.
In the end, Xie Tao let go of him obediently.
It’s just that when Wei Yun leaned over and covered her quilt, she looked at him with her eyes down. She couldn’t think of anything in her mind, and when she raised her head, she kissed his lips.
His lip color is as red, and the petals are soft, even with a slightly cool temperature.
At that moment, Wei Yun’s pupils shrank slightly, as if his heart had stopped suddenly for a moment.
It was still a shallow touch, which ceased in an instant.
Xie Tao’s cheeks were already red, but after getting along with Wei Yun these days, she found that Wei Yun was even shyer than herself, but she was even more courageous than before.
Especially now, she once again saw his auricle which was almost red with blood.
She was shy and suddenly laughed, stretched out her two hands, and suddenly pinched his earlobes.
Wei Yun looked particularly embarrassed at the moment. In the usual days, there was no mountain or dew, and there was a bit of panic in the eyes that were always calm. Finally, when she pinched her earlobe, he seemed to be a little frustrated. The hand pressed her shoulder, and the other hand pinched her face.
But even at this moment, he still held back his strength for fear of pinching her.
“How can you……”
He paused when he said something.
She has always been like this lately, kissing and hugging him again and again.
Sometimes when he was reading a book, she herself hid in the inner room and ate cakes. She ate crumbs and threw herself on him and kissed him on the cheek. Then she covered her face and lay in his arms. giggle.
Sometimes when he was drinking tea, she was lying on the table doing homework by herself. Looking back, she saw him reading and drinking tea leisurely, so she just leaned in and took a sip, and then ran away after the kiss.
Wei Yun’s auricle was often hot red.
She is like a kid who loves pranks, accustomed to seeing his cold and calm appearance, when she discovers the secret of his pinna, she can’t help but want to try again and again.
“Can’t I kiss you?” Xie Tao covered half of her face under the quilt, and her voice was a little fuzzy when she spoke.
Wei Yun met her watery apricot eyes and couldn’t say “no” for a long while.
He tilted his head suddenly, and when he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes visibly trembled. He coughed slightly, “Go to sleep.”
He just wanted to stand up, but was pulled by her wrist.
“Where are you going?” Xie Tao looked at him.
Wei Yun only glanced at her, then turned away, “I’m sleeping on the soft couch.”
After that, he walked to the opposite side of the bed and lay down on the soft couch.
“But you don’t even have a quilt…”
Xie Tao lay on the edge of the bed, looking at Wei Yun lying on the soft couch opposite.
“I’m not cold.” Wei Yun closed his eyes.
Xie Tao looked at him for a moment, then lifted the quilt down and walked to the cabinet on the other side.
“Xie Tao.”
Wei Yun opened his eyes and saw that she stepped on the ground barefoot again, his voice was a little cold.
Xie Tao turned out a brocade quilt from the inside, ran to Wei Yun, threw the quilt on him, and then covered it for him.
As if he covered her with a quilt, she also wrapped him tightly, like a silkworm chrysalis.
Then before Wei Yun had time to say something, she suddenly hugged him through the quilt.
Her cheek was against his.
The auricle was red hot again in despair, her breath was close at hand, and he heard her smiling foolishly in his ears.
She said, “Good night Wei Yun.”
Then she turned around and ran to the bed over there, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and lay down on the edge of the bed and looked at him again. When she saw him looking at her, her cheeks blushed and she turned and shrank into the bed. Up.
This night,
Wei Yun seemed to hear his own heartbeat.
One after another, it seemed to be a little messy.
But when he looked at her back on the opposite bed, his eyes were stained with moon-like brightness, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but bend slightly.
Such a jade-like face in the half-bright and half-dark light and shadow at the moment, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows smile gradually, making him at this moment less cold like ice and snow, and sharp like a sword, adding softness and beauty.
