Chapter 247: There are many unexpected things in life (two in one)
"Jingle Bell--!"
The alarm clock rings.
Even though it was still vacation, Fang Wei did not sleep in and got up early as usual.
What surprised Fangwei was that Wen Susu also got up very early, opened the door and walked out, clapped her little hands in front of her open mouth, and yawned with her eyes half closed.
"Sister, you woke up so early? Didn't you get much sleep?"
"No! I slept very well last night!"
As Wen Susu spoke, she stretched comfortably without caring about her image. Her laziness faded away and she became full of energy.
Even she herself was curious. She was very particular about her bed, so when she stayed outside, she always had trouble falling asleep, no matter how good the hotel or how soft the bed.
Last night was the first time she stayed at Fang Wei's house. Even though his bed was not soft and the air conditioner was not quiet, she slept very peacefully and soundly. She did not feel any discomfort in the unfamiliar environment. She was completely relaxed. In addition, she had been running around all day yesterday. After washing up and getting into bed, she fell asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow. She had no dreams all night and it was dawn when she opened her eyes. She hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time!
Happiness is neither difficult nor simple. It is nothing more than eating well and sleeping well.
If there were a small sleeping pillow that could help one fall asleep in one second with zero side effects, you have no idea how much rich people would be willing to pay for it.
"Is Cai Lingzhiyi still not awake?"
"He's probably awake, but he might be staying in bed!"
"Hahaha, then I'll go in and find them, and you're not allowed to come in!"
"..."
Fang Wei was too lazy to go in. He bent over and stood in front of the sink in the bathroom, brushing his teeth with bubbles in his mouth. He turned his head and looked outside the door. Wen Susu had already opened the door of the girls' room and went in. Then she closed the door. After a while, he could hear the faint sounds of laughter and playing coming from inside.
[Sneak attack——!]
[Ah! Sister Susu, how did you get in?]
[You guys aren't getting up yet?]
[Hmm~ Close your eyes for a while~]
[Who tickled me?]
[Not me!]
[Ah! Why aren’t you wearing any underwear…]
Fang Wei: “?”
You even said that there are no elders at home, and you are the only elder! How can you act like an elder at all?!
Fang Wei rinsed his mouth, washed his face, looked in the mirror with his mouth pursed, and squeezed out the mature pimple on his chin.
Now I have fewer pimples, only one pops up occasionally. The beard around my lips has grown a little, like a sprout just about to emerge in the grass. It is not obvious if you don't pay attention, so it is naturally not the time to shave yet.
There are huge individual differences in the growth of beards among boys. For example, my deskmate Liu Bo's beard grows very quickly. If it weren't for the fact that his beard is too long, I think Liu Bo wouldn't look so "sloppy".
After closing the bathroom door, Fang Wei squatted in the toilet. When he came out, the girls had finally changed their clothes and gotten up.
“It stinks!!”
"... Stop spitting blood at me! I've already turned on the exhaust fan! Hurry up and wash your faces, brush your teeth, and go downstairs!"
"It's all your fault for squatting in the toilet for too long!"
"I only squatted for five minutes!"
Wen Susu sighed as she listened to this. She thought that only an old couple could talk about these topics without any psychological pressure...
……
The new day begins with a chaotic morning.
After they finished washing up, Fang changed their clothes, put on their running shoes, took their keys, and went downstairs together.
At 7:30 in the morning, the sun had already risen. The sunlight was bright but not hot, and it felt warm and comfortable when it fell on my body.
Fang Wei walked in front, Wen Susu and Cai Ling Zhiyi walked behind, following him and doing some simple warm-up while walking.
“Do you still run every day now that you are in high school?”
"Yes, I have."
"Doesn't that mean you have to get up very early?"
"We changed to running on the school track and field after school in the afternoon. After running, I went to play ball, and they went home to take a shower, and then we had dinner together and went to evening self-study."
"Woo! Starting this month, I can no longer run, eat, or go to evening self-study with you guys!" Cai Ling cried.
"Cai Ling, you are always in my heart. I will help you do these things with your share." Zhiyi comforted.
The two girls knew it very well. Zhiyi was indeed getting worse and worse. It would have been fine if she didn't mention it, but as soon as she mentioned it, Cailing couldn't help pinching her, and Zhiyi laughed even more happily.
"Hey, is Cailing going to train with the city team?"
"Yes, is Sister Susu running now?"
When they lived together in Shanghai during the summer vacation, under the leadership of Fang Wei and the other two, Wen Susu also got up early every day and followed them along Binjiang Avenue to run along the Huangpu River to watch the sunrise.
Running requires perseverance, especially morning jogging. If you lack perseverance, you will need someone to accompany you and supervise each other. Not to mention Wen Susu, who has only been running for less than a month, even Liu Zhiyi, who has been running for more than three years, could not persist if Fang Wei stopped running.
What Fangwei and the other two didn't expect was that Wen Susu answered without hesitation after hearing the question: "Yes, I run! As long as it doesn't rain, I run every day!"
"Really?!"
"Sister is so awesome?!"
"what?!"
Wen Susu: "...Hey, hey! What kind of image do you have of me in your minds? You guys have been pretending to obey me before, right? Is it strange that I persisted?!"
"That's not the case... After all, in the first few days, even with us by her side, it seemed like she had trouble even getting out of bed..."
"I can overcome it too!! But..."
Wen Susu smiled a little embarrassedly: "But I don't get up as early as before. I usually get up at eight o'clock, then go home for a run to have breakfast, and go to the studio at nine o'clock, so I can't catch the sunrise..."
"That's already very impressive!" Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi were quite impressed.
Fang Wei also admired him very much. Even though he was also insisting on doing so, his situation was different. If he had grown up in such a pampered environment, it would probably be difficult for him to insist on getting up early to run.
"Then why don't you get up early to watch the sunrise?"
"Well, it feels like without you all here, it's not that interesting if I watch it by myself, it just feels so deserted."
"I, I understand!"
Liu Zhiyi quickly expressed that she agreed with this feeling. Waking up early is not the only thing, and running is not the only thing, but waking up early, running, and watching the sunrise are almost anchored to a specific object. If Fang Wei is not around one day, Liu Zhiyi feels that when she gets up early and runs to watch the sunrise, her biggest feeling at that moment is probably not how magnificent the sunrise is, but the loneliness and sense of gap that comes over her when Fang Wei is not around.
"Uncle, are you practicing Tai Chi? Not hitting trees anymore?" Fang Wei greeted an old man in the neighborhood.
"Haha, we've finished beating the tree... Xiao Fang, you guys are back so early?"
"Yeah, I came back last night! I went for a run!"
"this……"
"My sister."
"Oh! Your sister. No wonder I said you two don't look alike at all...huh?"
"Hahaha, that's not a kiss!"
The old man was also confused, thinking to himself, you have so many good sisters!
Seeing Fang Wei walking out and being so familiar with the old men and women in the community, Wen Susu also laughed and said, "How did you get so close to these uncles and aunts? Are you thinking of asking them to introduce you to someone in the future?"
"This is called exercising your social skills!" Fang Wei said.
"Bullshit! He's just bored and has to chat with everyone he meets!" The two girls didn't give them any face at all.
"From now on, uncles and aunties will introduce me to potential partners every day, and you single dogs can just go and cry on yourselves!"
"Yue~! Who would like you? You've just entered high school and you dare to think about these things!"
The two girls spoke toughly, but they were a little panicked inside, so they clenched their fists and chased after Fang Wei to beat him.
Fang Wei ran and ran, and took them to the nearby Jingui Citizen Park, where he ran two laps.
Two laps is about two kilometers.
After running these two kilometers, the morning jogging task was completed. Wen Susu and Liu Zhiyi were already sweating profusely, their delicate collarbones were wet. They walked slowly with their hands on their hips, their chests rising and falling with the rhythm of their breathing.
At this time, I envied Cai Ling's physical strength. After jogging for two kilometers, Cai Ling was as calm as ever. She pinched Fang Wei's shoulders and jumped onto him. This kind of natural intimacy was the privilege of childhood sweethearts, and no one could envy it.
"I'm so hungry! What shall we eat?"
"Come on, I'll take you to the morning market!"
Cailing and Zhiyi had already gone shopping, mainly to take Wen Susu for a walk.
Compared with big cities like Shanghai, Xuanzhu City in 2003 was just a small fourth-tier city. Even though many places were gradually modernizing, the simple, quiet and slow-paced life of a small county town was still the main feature.
It was a rare occasion for Wen Susu to come and stay for two days, so Fang Wei naturally had to make good arrangements for her. She was used to expensive, good, and high-end things, so he would take her to experience the urban life of such a small city, which could be regarded as a way to see the world.
The most indispensable thing is the morning market here.
The morning market was very lively, so Fang Wei and his three companions found a traditional breakfast shop here and ordered some steaming tofu pudding, crispy fried dough sticks, and fragrant and glutinous rice porridge.
The tofu pudding here is all salty.
It is served with toppings such as soy sauce, marinade, chopped green onions, dried shrimps, pickled mustard tubers, minced meat, etc. You can also drizzle some chili oil or vinegar according to your taste. Put it in a large bowl and eat it with a spoon. It is so delicious that you can't stop eating it.
"It's delicious! Have you ever eaten sweet tofu pudding?" Wen Susu asked.
"No……"
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi shook their heads and said in disbelief: "Tofu pudding can be sweet? How can we eat sweet tofu pudding?"
In those days, information was not as developed as in later generations. The girls who grew up in this area had never even heard of eating sweet tofu pudding, let alone eating it.
"Just add syrup or honey, just like dessert. People in Guangdong and Guangdong eat it this way."
"Wouldn't that be disgusting? Aren't their rice dumplings sweet too?"
"Zongzi, just like here, is salty! But there are also sweet Zongzi in the north!"
“There really are sweet rice dumplings?!”
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are probably the only provinces in the country where salty tofu pudding and salty rice dumplings coexist. Not to mention the two young girls, even Fang Wei doubted his life when he ate sweet tofu pudding and sweet rice dumplings for the first time.
It’s not that it tastes bad, it’s just that the sensory organs are not used to it and it feels very awkward... But the bean juice in Laobei is really bad! !
After so many years, Fang Wei still remembers the taste vividly. How can I describe it? It's probably like licking someone's armpits in 40-degree weather, which is about the same sour and refreshing feeling...
After breakfast, under the leadership of Fang Wei, the four of them walked through the morning market in the small town, looking at fresh vegetables and fruits, various special snacks, handmade small items and so on.
Next to the morning market is the ancient street, which will be developed into a small local attraction for tourists in the future. However, it is still relatively original and not so commercialized at the moment.
The bluestone road is winding and on both sides of the ancient street are relatively well-preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, with blue bricks and green tiles, wooden doors and windows, which have a simple and rustic atmosphere. When they came across some antique shops and traditional handicraft shops, the four of them went in to have a look together, but they didn't buy anything because the prices were so high!
At the street food shop nearby, we each bought a crispy and delicious sesame cake and ate as we walked.
I had plenty of time to get up early, and it was just past ten o'clock when I finished visiting the area.
Carrying the vegetables they bought along the way, the four of them went home together to make lunch.
After taking a short break after lunch, Fang Wei took out his schoolbag, emptied the contents, filled it with a few bottles of water, some snacks, paper towels, Liushen floral water, etc., zipped it up, put the bag on his shoulder, and put on his sneakers again.
"Have you changed your clothes? It's almost time to leave! Don't wear shorts! Be careful not to be carried away by mosquitoes!"
"I'm fine! Mosquitoes don't bite me!" said Xu Cailing.
“There might be snakes in the mountains.”
"what?!"
When Wen Susu and Cai Ling Zhiyi appeared in front of Fang Wei, they had already changed into long sleeves and long pants. Taking advantage of this afternoon time, the four of them wanted to go hiking together to Minguan Mountain, the highest mountain in Xuanzhu Island.
In fact, it’s not that high, only about three or four hundred meters above sea level, but the way up the mountain is quite winding, so it still takes some effort.
The scenery of Minguanshan Park is quite good. It can be regarded as a 4A-level natural scenic area. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with hills rising up along the sea and peaks stretching for more than ten miles. It not only has natural landscapes such as dense virgin forests, mountains, waterscapes, and sea views, but also unique canyons, caves, and sea erosion landforms. Compared with the mountain scenery in the inland, there are many more.
Fang Wei had naturally been there before, but after living here for so long, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi had never been there either. So since Wen Susu was also here to visit, he took them to go hiking together.
“It won’t be very high, will it?”
When Wen Susu heard about mountain climbing, she felt a little scared. In fact, she also liked to enjoy the scenery at the top of the mountain, but she couldn't stand the tiring feeling of climbing, so she just threw some money and took the cable car directly up.
"If I run out of energy, you have to carry me up there!"
"...Don't worry, I won't abandon you. You're not even as tall as the Oriental Pearl Tower!"
After hearing this, Wen Susu felt relieved.
"Come on, lift up your hair."
"what?"
[Squeak—]
The three of them lifted their hair, and Fang Wei sprayed something behind them.
Liushen floral water is very fragrant, strong and refreshing. Girls have delicate skin. If they don’t spray some floral water, they will be attacked by wild mosquitoes when they go to the mountains.
"There are too many! The smell is so strong!"
The three girls wiped the wet toilet water off their skin with disgust, then rubbed it on Fang Wei with a smile. Now all three of them had the same feeling.
"Are we going on a motorcycle?"
"It's a bit far, take the bus!"
……
After going downstairs, there is a bus stop next to the community.
"229, is this the one?"
"Yes! Get in the car!"
The four of them got on the bus together. Wen Susu, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi, who were empty-handed, went to the back to find seats first. Fang Wei took out his wallet and stuffed the four people's fare into the box.
Before anyone was seated, the driver started the car and Fang Wei staggered towards the back.
"here!"
“You guys really know how to find a spot…”
"Haha, there are plenty of seats in the last row!"
The seats in the last row were all connected together, so Fang Wei sat down between them.
Compared to the 'van bus' on Pineapple Island, the buses in the city are much more regular. Although they are also shaky, they won't make people too carsick. Instead, the four of them who are used to taking naps feel a little drowsy.
The journey was quite long, with more than ten stops. Gradually, the voices of the four people chatting became quieter. I didn't know who yawned first, and then they all yawned continuously.
"If you feel sleepy, just take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
"Then don't miss your stop!"
"...That's the last stop." After Fang Wei said this, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi felt relieved. They tilted their heads and leaned on his shoulders naturally. After a while, they fell asleep quite peacefully.
Wen Susu, who was sitting on the far right, was stunned. Seeing Fang Wei being sandwiched between two girls like a human pillow, she looked at him teasingly and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The meaning in her eyes was self-evident, but she was afraid that Fang Wei didn't understand, so she took out her mobile phone and sent him a text message.
[You’re not pretending in front of me now, right?]
[......]
Fang Wei's Adam's apple rolled, and he looked into Wen Susu's eyes with an innocent look on his face.
He struggled to pull his arms out of the girls' tight embrace, took out his vibrating phone from his pocket, and then sent a message to Wen Susu who was nearby:
[Sister, do you think this can be blamed on me?]
Didn't you let them sleep?
I didn’t let them sleep like this.
[You are so ungrateful after getting a bargain!]
[I feel very uncomfortable]
[I feel very happy]
[But my arms are sore]
[No one will feel sorry for you even if you tell them]
[Aren’t you sleepy?]
[I'm having fun, I'm not sleepy]
After saying this, Wen Susu stared at Fang Wei and the two girls sleeping on his shoulders with even more interest. Not only did she look, she also picked up the camera hanging around her neck, found an angle, and took a picture of them.
[Sister, what are you doing!]
[Hehe, leave evidence, and see how you will be stabbed in the future. Don't act serious, don't you hold their hands?]
[? ? ? ]
What a bad taste! You just want the world to be in chaos, right?
Being ambiguous with two girls in front of Wen Susu made Fang Wei feel uncomfortable all over. But Wen Susu was staring at him curiously, which made Fang Wei so excited that he didn't know whether to let his blood boil or not.
He quietly tightened the schoolbag pressed against his legs, then sent a text message to Wen Susu and put his phone back into the schoolbag.
[My phone is out of battery, no more words]
Wen Susu: “???”
Fang Wei closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but after a while, he felt a warm little hand touching the back of his hand.
He suddenly opened his eyes, only to see Wen Susu, who was holding back a smirk, leaning over and holding Cai Ling's sleeping little hand and putting it into his palm!
Fang Wei grabbed the naughty little hand.
Wen Susu's heart skipped a beat and her eyes widened:
[You grabbed my hand!]
[Sister, stop messing around. I’m really going to get stabbed in a moment.]
[release]
[Then you should be honest]
Fang Wei then let go of her hand. Wen Susu, who was afraid of chaos in the world, finally sat back down obediently and made a fist gesture to him with a slightly red face.
Seeing that she raised her fist, Fang Wei raised a piece of cloth.
Wen Susu was stunned for a moment, and was actually amused by him. Sure enough, people will laugh when they are speechless! How can there be such a funny young man! Who wants to play rock-paper-scissors with you!
Is this the nonsensical youth? So childish and silly!
It was clearly their youth and ambiguity, but at that moment, Wen Susu felt as if she had sensed something as well.
……
Fang Wei didn't sleep all the way, so Wen Susu, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi slept soundly.
Needless to say, Cailing and Zhiyi fell asleep almost as soon as they touched Fang Wei. Wen Susu was originally just dozing off, but then gradually felt sleepy, so she leaned against Cailing and fell asleep.
Her weight pressed down on Cai Ling, and then Cai Ling pressed down on Fang Wei. Fang Wei felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his left side. If he hadn't been trying hard to sit up straight, he would have crushed Zhiyi, who was sitting by the window on his right side.
Liu Zhiyi likes being pressed into a small corner like this. Her softness can always fill up every gap. She feels so safe and not at all suffocated.
The three of them woke up because of Fang Wei. Like dominoes, Fang Wei shook his left shoulder and Xu Cailing woke up, then Wen Susu woke up, and finally he shook his right shoulder and Liu Zhiyi woke up as well.
After a good night's sleep, they were all full of energy. The most surprised one was Wen Susu. She was very picky about the environment when sleeping, but she didn't expect that she could sleep well on a swaying bus? !
No wonder Cailing and Zhiyi both like to sleep with Fang Weiwei, your sleeping pills have become spirits!
Ultimately it's all about a sense of security. You don't have to worry about any danger or missing your stop. Even if you do miss your stop, it doesn't matter. As long as Fang Wei is by your side, you can feel safe and at ease in an unfamiliar place.
[We have arrived at Minguanshan Park Station. Please get off from the back door...]
"Let's go! The driver will come and chase us away soon!"
"Let's go~!"
This is the terminal, and all the few passengers on the bus got off here.
Even the driver got out of the car and stood outside to smoke a cigarette. Looking out, he saw lush green mountains behind him. Under the blue sky and white clouds of autumn, even the air was much better.
Fang Wei, carrying a bag, led the three princesses out of the car, and looked at the scenic map column on the side to find the entrance and the routes to various attractions.
"Which way are you going?"
"there!"
Fang Wei pointed and the three followed him.
We walked through the park cultural square below and reached the road leading up the mountain. The mountain road was made up of steps paved with stone slabs. It was not steep, but very winding and long, almost going around the mountain.
I am used to seeing the sea, but I seldom climb mountains.
The three girls were in a happy mood, jumping and skipping as they walked, like little birds in the mountains, chirping, talking and laughing all the way.
In the autumn afternoon, the sun shines through the dense leaves, casting a warm yellow and mellow tone.
There were not many people climbing the mountain, so Fang Wei and his four companions climbed up the stairs slowly and stepped into the embrace of Minguan Mountain. It was as if they had accidentally entered a secret place specially sealed by nature. The clear sounds of birds filled their ears, but when they looked up to look for them, they didn't know where they were hiding.
When we reached the mountainside, the leaves in the forest gradually became sparse, revealing a clear world. The sun was unobstructed and fell on a temple in front of us. The mountain breeze also became playful, carrying the dry scent of grass and the fragrance of wild flowers, blowing past us, and our hair and clothes dancing lightly.
Fang Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped.
The three girls also stopped. Xu Cailing ran to the front of the nunnery and called Fang Weiwei to come and see, while reading the words on the plaque:
"Fu, Lei? An!"
"...Can you read or not? That's Fuyun Nunnery!"
"Oh, yes! Who told me it's a traditional Chinese character? I misread it!"
"Hahaha……"
Wen Susu raised the camera in her hand and found an angle to take the picture, Fang Wei and Xu Cailing found a place to pose, and Liu Zhiyi was reading the text introduction in front of the temple.
This temple in this flat valley between mountains is said to have been built in the Song Dynasty. There is a huge rock next to it, which looks like a platform. It is said that Zen Master Ma Qi often drank, admired the moon and wrote poems on this rock with his good friends Huang Guinian, Huang Henian and Zhang Guang.
"Then let's take a photo here together!"
"Sure, let me pick a time!"
Wen Susu found an angle to put down the camera, and then sat on the platform of the huge rock with Fang Wei Cailing Zhiyi, pretending to drink, appreciate the moon, and write poetry.
“Hahaha! How come it looks like… we’re sitting here playing Landlord!”
"This is called uncultured pretense!"
Take a break, drink some water, eat some snacks, the mountain breeze is cool and comfortable, the scenery on all sides is in sight, the small town at your feet is shrunk into an exquisite shape, close your eyes and listen quietly, only the sounds of wind, leaves and birds singing are intertwined, like the sound of nature.
It has been a long time since I have been able to enjoy the natural scenery in such a quiet way.
"The ancients really knew how to choose a good feng shui location! This place is really nice!"
"Let's go, keep climbing, and take a look at the top of the mountain!"
"Gogo~!"
……
After climbing the mountain, we had a local seafood hotpot in a nearby fishing village in the evening. When we got home in the evening, it was almost nine o'clock.
Everyone is so tired that they become Muggles.
Wen Susu, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi lay down on the sofa and didn't want to move anymore.
"Little Fangzi! Little Fangzi!"
"..."
"Fang Wei! Fang Wei!"
"..."
"Fang Wei is my brother!"
Fang Wei, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb, responded: "What?"
"Please bring us three buckets of water for washing our feet! Our feet are so sore~!"
"I'm not tired anymore?"
"hurry up!"
"..."
Fang had no choice but to bring hot water for washing feet to the three princesses.
While they were washing their feet, Fang Wei took a shower. After the shower, he returned to his room, lay down and prepared to go to sleep.
But the three of them were full of energy after soaking their feet, so they didn't want him to sleep like this. They woke him up and played poker together until after eleven o'clock in the evening...
……
Happy times are always short, and in the blink of an eye it’s the last day of the holiday.
Wen Susu is preparing to return to Shanghai, and Fang Wei Cailing Zhiyi is also going to start catching up on the homework that she had not finished during the holiday.
The boat ticket was bought for the afternoon, and it only took two hours to get back to Shanghai from Xuanzhu Wharf. Fang Wei cooked a big meal and waited for Wen Susu to finish eating before sending her to the boat.
"Sister Susu! Please come and play with us more often when you have time!"
"Ha, you guys are so nice! I don't see you guys on weekdays or weekends, but you guys go to play with me!"
"Hey, school has just started. I usually have to go home and pick up some things. I'll have time later!"
"But remember them all!"
Wen Susu had already packed her luggage. Actually, there wasn’t much stuff, just a backpack.
After thinking for a while, she took out her camera and handed it to Fang Wei, and then took out a new box of film from her bag and gave it to him.
"Hey, I'll give you the camera. You can take more pictures for me in the future. Otherwise, I won't be able to see all the things you talk about! Oh, by the way! I haven't seen you in your military training uniforms yet!"
"Camera! Sister Susu, this one of yours is really expensive!"
"Just take what I give you~!"
Fang Wei didn't bother to be polite with her. He took the camera with a smile and hung it around his neck: "I will follow your instructions!"
"Well, you better be!"
After Wen Susu finished speaking, she said to Cailing and Zhiyi earnestly, "No matter what happens in the future, you must remember to call me at any time. I can give you advice on study, life, etc...."
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi didn't understand what was going on, and just thought it was a normal reminder from their sister, so they nodded honestly and said, "Sure!"
Fang Wei: “…”
Sister, you are such a mediocre person. Isn't it written on Cailing's face what's wrong? What can Zhiyi, who is so taciturn, tell you?
"Okay, let's go~"
"Goodbye Sister Susu~"
"Bye~!"
After saying goodbye to the two girls, Fang Wei took the motorcycle keys, went downstairs with Wen Susu, and sent her to Xuanzhu Pier to catch a boat.
He was the one who picked me up when I came, and he was the one who saw me off when I left.
Wen Susu sat on the back of the motorcycle, holding the handrail with one hand and resting the other on his shoulder.
Fang Wei was not riding fast, so the brother and sister talked all the way, and the wind in their faces made her hair flutter.
"…So, sometimes it's really annoying. You always have to make arrangements for me, and I don't like it at all. If you make arrangements for me again in the future, I'll just hide from you guys!"
Wen Susu complained to Fang Wei about the blind date her parents arranged for her. Fang Wei found it funny and then laughed. Wen Susu was so angry that she hit him.
"Little brat, this is nothing funny! When you grow up and are arranged to go on a blind date, you will understand! See if you can still laugh!"
"Sister, do you think I need it?"
"...Get lost! If you bully Cai Ling and Zhi Yi, I will punish you first."
"I wouldn't dare to do that!"
Although Fang Wei was smiling, he could still understand Wen Susu's feelings about being arranged to go on a blind date. After all, he had tried many blind dates in his previous life. It's not that he was so bad that other people looked down on him, but that he had no feelings for the person sitting across from him at the blind date table.
Feelings are so mysterious that no one can explain them clearly, but if you don't have any feelings, you don't have any feelings. You don't want to compromise, but you are also unwilling to accept it, so you can only say that you don't want to get married at all and want to be a single.
In fact, as you get older, it becomes harder to meet someone you like, and the cost of getting into a person's heart doubles with age.
When a person is born, he is like a blank piece of paper, and a light stroke can leave a noticeable mark. But when his painting is completed, others need to use much more vivid and colorful descriptions if they want to leave a mark.
"So what are you going to do? Are you really going to be single for the rest of your life?"
"Tsk, it's not impossible. Isn't it fine the way I am now?"
"Sister, it seems like since we met, I've been the one to send you back to Shanghai every time?"
"Yes~!"
Wen Susu remembered it very well, and said with a smile: "The first time I went back was when you were in the first grade of junior high school and had the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. You were the one who carried my luggage and sent me off. Haha, you were not even as tall as me at that time, and you looked like an elementary school student."
"…I wasn't that young! Was I really that short then?"
"Now that you've grown taller, you won't admit it, right?"
"Hey, do you remember what we talked about at that time?"
"I don't remember exactly. I think we talked a lot. I even asked you what you wanted to do in the future. You said you wanted to work in finance and invest. Do you remember?"
"I remember. One sentence that left a deep impression on me was that my sister said she wanted to be an art teacher, but ended up being both an art teacher and a Chinese teacher. My sister also told me at the time, 'When you get to my age, you'll understand that there are many unexpected things in life.' Am I remembering it correctly? That's what my sister said, right?"
Wen Susu blinked, not knowing for a moment whether to praise him for his good memory or for taking what he said to her seriously.
"What? Are you trying to use what I said to boomerang me?"
"I wouldn't dare to do that!"
Fang Wei smiled and said, "Although I am not yet your age, I agree with what you said. There are many unexpected things in life, so it is not necessarily that you will not meet someone you like!"

Wen Susu cried out.
Fang Wei smiled and made an OK gesture.
The boat slowly left the shore, the bow plowing through the calm sea, splashing tiny drops of water...
(I'm late, but there are too many words, 9,000 words. It's cold, and my hands are stiff. Please forgive me.)
