[67. Arrived]
The food at the vegetable market here is indeed a lot cheaper, but in Cheng Qingxing's opinion, these vegetables are not cheap either.
But think about it, this is a small island, so it's normal that vegetables are expensive, after all, it's troublesome to transport them.
Two people walked around the vegetable market and then prepared to go back.
Because they only had bicycles, after buying the vegetables, they discussed how to take them back.
"There's definitely not enough stuff in the front." Zheng Xuhe looked at the already full bicycle basket in front and took a deep breath. "Will it be convenient for you to take it back?"
Cheng Qingxing looked at the steamed fish and two carrots in his hand, thought for a moment, and then replied: "It's not difficult, let's go back like this."
Zheng Xuhe pushed the bicycle, thinking that he was going to get on, but he found that he had tied all the vegetables at the back and was left looking at him with empty hands.
"Are you planning to walk back?" Zheng Xuhe asked tentatively.
"The roads on this island are not easy to travel on. When I just got here, I felt carsick." Cheng Qingxing once again checked the plastic bag tied to him, made sure it was stable, and then said.
"The way back is still uphill, and the island has a bumpy cement road, so it's safer for you to ride back by yourself."
Even Cheng Qingxing himself doesn't trust him.
Zheng Xuhe watched his actions without saying anything. In fact, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
When Cheng Qingxing tied the last bag of vegetables to the back seat of the car, the plastic rope made a slight cracking sound under the scorching sun.
Zheng Xuhe reached out to help, but as soon as his fingertips touched the back of his hand, it was avoided, as if he had touched some kind of electrified forbidden area.
"Let's go." Cheng Qingxing took two steps back. A corner of his white shirt was lifted up by the sea breeze, revealing the light pink scar on his waist.
That was left by Cheng Qingxing when he performed the explosion scene in "The Reef" two years ago. Now it looked like a fresh wound in the sunlight.
Zheng Xuhe's Adam's apple moved.
He remembered that the red light in the operating room was on for seven hours that day, and he received the Best Actor trophy at the awards ceremony.
When he was in the third sentence of his acceptance speech, his assistant sent him the news that the rescue was successful.
The bicycle chain groaned as it rolled over the bumpy concrete road.
Cheng Qingxing followed three steps behind and saw that Zheng Xuhe's shirt was soaked with sweat and stuck to his straight back.
This scene inexplicably reminded him of the day of his divorce——
Zheng Xuhe also packed his luggage with his back to him, saying that he was going to participate in a three-month closed training.
"Be careful." Cheng Qingxing suddenly grabbed the back rack of the car.
The front wheel just barely brushed past the broken shells in the middle of the road. The blue crabs in the net bag were waving their claws and almost pinched Zheng Xuhe's trouser legs.
The barrage suddenly boiled over:
[User "Microscope Girl" gave a reward of 3 rockets: Cheng Qingxing still cares about Zheng Xuhe. 】
[No, is Cheng Qingxing's physical strength okay like this? I won’t feel tired even if I keep running like this. 】
[As an actor, it is normal to have this kind of physical strength, right? It's not like he's a weak idol. 】
[Cheng Qingxing is so strong that he doesn’t seem like a Beta, but is as strong as an Alpha. 】
[Eh, if it was Alpha, they wouldn't get married, but they would definitely be happier than they are now. 】
[If he was an Alpha, Cheng Qingxing would have become famous by now. He might have become the same person as Zheng Xuhe and would not have lived such a hard life. 】
[This world is still too unfair to Beta. 】
[Cheng Qingxing is actually a good actor, a good wife, and a good person, but she lost because of her gender. 】
[Everyone said before that he was not worthy of Zheng Xuhe. In fact, apart from gender, he was not worthy of her in any other way! 】
[Hey, looking at it this way, Cheng Qingxing is really suffering. 】
Zheng Xuhe supported himself on one leg and looked back, just in time to see Cheng Qingxing hurriedly putting his left hand into his trouser pocket.
The sea breeze lifted the strands of hair on his forehead, and the scar hidden at his hairline was faintly visible.
It was left behind when Qin Shaojie beat me during the audition for "To Become Famous".
"Let me push it." Cheng Qingxing was tired from running behind, so he shouted, "You are tired too, let me do it."
Zheng Xuhe's hand was still suspended in the air, and the warmth of the handlebar rubber remained on his palm.
He saw that the corners of the restraint patch on the back of Cheng Qingxing's neck were lifted up, revealing a light pink tooth mark.
He bit it out of control during the argument last night, and now it looked like an ambiguous medal in the sunlight.
"Wait." Zheng Xuhe suddenly untied his watch and wrapped the metal strap around Cheng Qingxing's wrist, "Anti-slip."
Cheng Qingxing tried to throw it away as if he had been electrocuted, but the back of the watch face was so cold that his fingertips trembled.
The date of their wedding was engraved there, but the handwriting had been blurred by rubbing.
[User "Time Management Master" gave 1314 little hearts as a reward: They got their marriage certificate four years ago today! ! 】
[Fuck, is this a script or metaphysics?] ? 】
[The program crew is so good, they even calculated the anniversary? 】
【no? Does the program crew also wish the best for both of them? Just like us, you are a pair of CP. 】
[After all, their remarriage is what everyone wants. If it really happens, it will be a huge hit! 】
[No wonder the program crew wanted to blackmail them. They just wanted them to come here and ride this bicycle. It was all designed. 】
[The program crew always puts their heart into very strange places...]
[You know what, this is actually quite romantic. I’m really moved. 】
Cheng Qingxing clenched the handlebars tightly. The rusty iron filings pierced into his palm, and the pain woke him up.
He knew that there were thousands of eyes waiting for his reaction, so he raised his lips and said, "Actor Zheng, you even prepared the props so thoroughly."
The uphill road was harder than expected.
Cheng Qingxing's back was gradually soaked with sweat, and his shirt stuck to his butterfly bones like a pair of wings wet by the rain.
Zheng Xuhe followed silently half a step behind, with his hands loosely protecting the sides of the seat, just like the posture he had when he was taught to ride a bicycle at the age of eighteen.
"Do you know?" Cheng Qingxing suddenly said, "When I was learning to ride a bike, I fell more than 20 times."
Zheng Xuhe's fingertips trembled. Of course he remembered that Cheng Qingxing always studied secretly. He stood at a distance and watched, not daring to go over to help him.
The bruises on his knees were piled up on top of each other, and it was painful to look at, but he just looked at them.
"But I still can't learn it. I feel like I don't have the talent for it." Cheng Qingxing slammed the brakes.
The wind from the top of the hill lifted his clothes, and the outline of the mushroom house in the distance swayed in the heat wave. "Then I thought, some things just don't belong to me, so I should give them up."
He loosened his hands and let the bike slide down the slope.
Zheng Xuhe's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively rushed over and grabbed the frame of the car.
The friction between metal and concrete made a harsh sound, and the plastic bag containing seafood flew high into the air due to inertia.
Cheng Qingxing stood firmly where he was, watching Zheng Xuhe frantically protecting the ingredients that were about to scatter.
The sunlight penetrated the swaying plastic bag, casting mottled fish-scale-like spots on Zheng Xuhe's face.
"It's okay, we've arrived." He added the second half of the sentence with a smile, the wedding ring on his ring finger reflecting a cold light in the sunlight.
