Chapter 18
Chapter 18
After nine o'clock, the light rain outside gradually stopped.
Lin Leyao and Xin Ying came out of the homestay and wandered along the surrounding paths.
This tourist village is very well developed. The area here is full of residences and B&Bs. The fringe area is full of various commercial shops, some selling fine jewelry, some selling various gourmet specialties, and various restaurants.
Both of them were wearing masks, ordinary casual clothes, and not well-groomed.In the eyes of passers-by, they could only see two slender women wandering in the tourist area. No one could notice that one of them was Xiao Hua, who was quite popular in the entertainment industry, and the other was the female president of a famous domestic group.
Not far away, a couple was taking pictures. First, the man was helping his girlfriend to take pictures. Later, the two stood together and took a group photo with a selfie stick.Maybe because she felt that the result was not good, the woman frowned and looked at the photos on her phone.
Suddenly, the woman's eyes were on Lin Leyao and Xin Ying.
Noticing the way she looked at her, Lin Leyao gradually stopped, not sure if the girl recognized her.
The girl said a few words to her boyfriend, and soon the boy came over.
The boy was very young, probably a college student, and walked over shyly with his mobile phone in his hand, and asked, "Hello, can you take a photo for us?"
Lin Leyao blinked in surprise, a smile appeared in her eyes not covered by the mask, she nodded and said, "Okay."
The girls and the boys posed in various poses at the entrance of this ancient house, and Lin Leyao patiently took several photos for them.
Maybe because she thought she wasted Lin Leyao's time, the girl took the phone and asked, "How about I take some photos for you too!" The girl was talking about Lin Leyao and Xin Ying.
The girl said again: "Don't you want to take some group photos when traveling together?"
Xin Ying, who had been standing by the side without making a sound, said at this moment: "Okay, let's shoot, thank you."
The voice that came out was faint, but it was clearly a female voice.The girl was surprised for a moment, she thought that the man who was dressed in black and stood silently beside him was a thin boy with long hair!
The girl quickly reacted and said, "Thank you, this beauty has helped us take pictures for so long, I should thank you! Where do you want to take pictures? What angle do you use?"
Without going anywhere else, Lin Leyao and Xin Ying stood under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree at the entrance of this ancient house.
The girl who took the photo stood in the distance, looked at the phone for a while to find the angle, and then shouted: "Stand closer, good girlfriends, be closer!"
Listening to the girl's words, Lin Leyao couldn't help but tilt her head sideways, wanting to see the expression on Xin Ying's face.
Her eyes fell on the pure black mask of the same style as hers, and she finally realized at this moment that she wanted to look back, but Xin Ying next to her suddenly moved, she stretched out her right arm across Lin Leyao's back, The palm rested lightly on Lin Leyao's right shoulder.
The girl took several pictures in a row, leaving this picture.
After taking a few more pictures in other poses, the girl returned the phone to Xin Ying.
The boy said goodbye to the two with a smile, and said, "I wish you a happy trip, get out of singles as soon as possible, and come with your boyfriend next time."
When the girl next to her heard her boyfriend's words, she slapped him hard on the back of the head.
The boy said angrily, "Why did you hit me?"
As the two walked further and further away, the girl twisted the boy's ear and scolded, "Are you so blind? Your 'boyfriend' is right next to you!"
"Boyfriend? How can there be a man?" After finishing speaking, the boy suddenly realized and muttered, "Are they gay?"
The girl's voice hardened, "What's wrong with homosexuality?"
The boy immediately softened his voice and said, "It's not that bad, the country's law stipulates that same-sex marriages are allowed! I'm a good boy who supports Dad's policy!"
The girl snorted softly, and the voices of the two became farther and farther apart.
Xin Ying flipped through the photos taken on her phone.
In the first picture, two people are standing under a thousand-year-old tree, one in a white jacket, with his head tilted sideways, his eyes falling on the cheek of the person next to him; , the cold phoenix eyes exposed outside the mask revealed a hint of softness.The breeze is just right, the hair is flying, and the distance between the two sides is shortened.
Xin Ying glanced across every inch of the photo, and a warm body beside her leaned over. Lin Leyao asked, "Does it look good?"
The soft voice was sent to the ears through the breeze, drilled into the mind, and stirred up a burst of electricity, which quickly climbed under the skin and in the limbs, and Xin Ying's hand holding the phone was slightly numb.
Seeing that Xin Ying's face was a little stiff, Lin Leyao asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Xin Ying shook her head, rubbed her face hard under the mask, and said, "It's okay, it's a good shot."
"En." Lin Leyao nodded.
Xin Ying quickly put aside the unexpected situation just now, and said, "I'll send you the photo. Do you want to buy some special products to take back as a gift?"
"Let's go to the store."
Back at the B&B, Xiao Jing came out to greet her immediately, "Sister Xin Ying, Sister Le Yao, are you eating now? Are you going out in the afternoon?"
"Let's eat now."
Soon the lunch in the kitchen was on the dining table, Xiao Liang rummaged through the counter, and quickly took out a Polaroid.
"Sister Le Yao, I'll take some photos for you, please sign for me."
Lin Leyao took a marker pen to sign a few Polaroid photos, and Xiao Liang waited happily holding her Polaroid, when suddenly she said, "Hey, Sister Leyao, let me take a group photo of you and Sister Xin Ying Bar."
Before Lin Leyao could speak, Xin Ying who was next to her choked and coughed several times.
Seeing her face flushed from coughing, Lin Leyao looked at her worriedly.After Xin Ying came back from the outside, she was in a bad state. I don't know if she caught a cold from the wind.
Lin Leyao asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Xin Ying shook her head, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, and soon her face returned to calm.
Encouraged by Xiao Liang, the two took several Polaroids.Lin Leyao and Xin Ying each took one, and left the others for Xiao Liang, who put them on the photo wall of the hotel.
After lunch, the two went upstairs for a lunch break.
In the quiet room, the curtains were closed tightly, blocking the light from outside, and the room was dark.
Xin Ying was lying on the bed, holding the photo she just took in her hand.
The two people did not wear masks in this group photo. They sat on chairs and looked at the camera together, one bright and the other elegant.
There is a certain distance between the two people. Compared with the previous photo taken under the ginkgo tree, the distance has been widened a lot, but there is always an inexplicable atmosphere lingering between the two.
Xin Ying has been staring at the photos in a daze. She has a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she can't tell what she is thinking, and her mind is in chaos.
The two of them didn't go out in the afternoon, they nestled in the lobby with the scenery of the yard, holding a cup of hot tea, and watched a few dubbed films together.
Lin Leyao could clearly feel that Xin Ying's mood was not right after returning from a stroll today.She recalled for a while, not knowing what happened to make her like this.
After spending the day peacefully, after taking a shower at night, Lin Leyao opened WeChat and looked at the photos sent by Xin Ying.
Encouraged by the female tourist, she and Xin Ying took several group photos, some of which were the two of them comparing cute characters, and some of them were standing coolly with their arms crossed.Tap on the screen with your fingertips, and quickly draw the first photo of the two together.
In the breeze and under the old trees, I looked at her and she hugged me for a group photo.
After watching in silence for a while, Lin Leyao took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and clicked save with her fingertips.
By this time, if Lin Leyao doesn't know how she feels about Xin Ying, then she is lying to herself.
She fell in love with Xin Ying.
Her fingertips were still on the photo of the two of them on the screen, Lin Leyao's fingertips were numb after confirming her thoughts.
Her heart and mind were filled with the word "like".
Falling in love with one's marriage partner seems to be a very happy thing, because soon you can be as good as the palace of marriage with the person you like, but...
Not knowing what to think of, Lin Leyao's soft lips tightened.
The next morning, the two people's churning thoughts of last night were all pressed deep in their hearts.
The two of them still had breakfast in the hall like the day before.Today's Xiaoliang remembered the lesson from the previous day, and the coffee she made tasted very good.
Because they both had their own concerns, Lin Leyao and Xin Ying didn't speak, and the entire homestay was very quiet.
Fortunately, Xiaoliang is young and lively, chatting about several questions, breaking the silence of the homestay.
"Sister Xin Ying, Sister Le Yao, are you going back to the city tonight, or tomorrow?"
Lin Leyao was the first to speak: "Come back tonight." After that, she looked at Xin Ying, "It's not a problem for you to work until night."
"Ah."
Xiao Jing asked again: "By the way, two sisters, I've always been curious, how did you two know each other, and how did you come out to play together?"
Lin Leyao was silent for a while, and Xin Ying who was next to her raised her eyes and scolded with a smile: "Why are you so gossip? Can't we get along well and have fun?"
Xiao Jing whimpered and didn't want to talk anymore, so she hurriedly urged the two of them to go out, "Go out and play! I'll go back at night, and I don't have much time to stay here."
The air was fine in the morning, and the two of them walked a few miles to the nearby mountain.
The mountain is only a few hundred meters high. There is a small local temple on the top of the mountain, and there are several huts at the bottom of the mountain, which are small supermarkets, specialty shops and small restaurants, all of which are places for tourists to rest and eat.
The road up the mountain is paved with concrete. It is not wide, but it is enough for two people to walk side by side.
It just rained yesterday, and the water stains on the steps of the stairs were not completely dry. The trees next to it were washed by the rain, and the air was soaked with the refreshing fragrance of the combination of soil and green grass.
After walking dozens of steps, Lin Leyao suddenly asked, "Why did you suddenly want to come out to play this time?" The two of them had few private dates, so why did Xin Ying propose that they come out to play for two days.
Xin Ying said, "Does this look like a trip to bid farewell to single life?" After a pause, she continued: "We will get a certificate when we go back. This is a pre-marriage trip."
As soon as the voice fell, there was silence between the two of them.
There was no one on this mountain road at this time, the wind blew over, and the slightest coolness invaded the skin, making people shiver uncontrollably.
Xin Ying looked at Lin Leyao, and also saw that with the breeze, a yellowed autumn leaf fell on her neck.
The leaves are yellow, stained with dirt from the rain and the wind, which is particularly conspicuous on the white and white neck.Xin Ying stared straight at it.
Lin Leyao continued to walk up the mountain road, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that there would be only the two of us on this trip. Most people's farewell to single life parties will call a large group of friends to carry out the last pre-marital carnival."
"Yeah." Xin Ying was a step behind Lin Leyao, still looking at the obtrusive fallen leaves, she responded to Lin Leyao's words, "We are different, we are married, I am afraid that you will find it difficult to accept living with me suddenly, so I went out to travel and relax Get in touch again."
Lin Leyao in front suddenly stopped.
Worried about you, afraid that you will... These words all express this person's care and consideration for her.But Lin Leyao had a very headache, what aspect of Xin Ying's performance came from?Out of duty, obligation?
Lin Leyao turned around, pursed her lips, and wanted to ask something.Suddenly, Xin Ying reached out and stroked her neck.
