Chapter 183: Human Fireworks
Thank her, because of her appearance, happiness has become concrete.
No one knew that in the past, Huo Xilin's world was all black, white and gray, but with Xu Qingsui's presence, his world gradually became colorful.
He held her tightly in his arms, and he wished time could freeze at this moment.
The sky was still clear the next day. Huo Xilin and Xu Qingsui were not in a hurry to go back. He took her on a train. With the slow roar, the train headed north, passing through the ice and snow, through the rugged jungle, and through the mountains. On the other side of the mountain, there were small houses covered with thick snow, with big red lanterns and couplets hung on them, as if they had entered a fairy tale world.
People in colorful clothes walked around the town, steam was rising from the food stalls, and this was just part of life.
When the train arrived at the station, Huo Xilin held Xu Qingsui's hand, and they got off the train together like the tourists. They walked from the beginning to the end of the street, trying all the delicious food. After they were full, Xu Qingsui looked at the thick snow and became playful. He picked up a handful of snow, rolled it into a ball, and threw it at Huo Xilin's back when he wasn't paying attention.
With a snap, the snowball burst into pieces on his black down jacket.
"Okay, you dare to do bad things!" Huo Xilin also imitated her and threw a snowball at her.
Xu Qingsui dodged subconsciously, but his accuracy was very good and he would be hit by the snowball no matter how he dodged. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes and it didn't hurt at all when the snowball hit his body.
Xu Qingsui was not willing to be outdone, so the two of them started playing back and forth like this. After a while, the team gradually grew larger, and many young people and children joined the melee.
Tired of playing, Huo Xilin winked at Xu Qingsui, and she understood instantly, and the two of them quietly left the battlefield.
Running to a place far away from the crowd, Xu Qingsui lay down directly on the snow. Looking at the snowballs flying in the distance and the people screaming and crying after being hit by them, he couldn't help laughing.
"Today is such a great day!" After laughing enough, she couldn't help but sigh.
Huo Xilin also lay down beside her. The two of them lay head to head, looking at the azure blue sky. The dazzling sunlight seemed to soften at this moment.
Ordinary people envy them for being rich, but only they know that such leisure time is stolen. Everyone has unspeakable difficulties and helpless troubles.
He reached out and held Xu Qingsui's hand tightly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, they are like two carefree children, pure and happy.
"Hah!" Xu Qingsui's nose was itchy and he couldn't help but sneeze.
Huo Xilin was as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He quickly stood up and pulled Xu Qingsui up from the snow: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, maybe the snowflakes fell on my nose and it's a little itchy." Xu Qingsui said.
She didn't feel any discomfort anywhere, she just felt very comfortable.
Seeing that she was fine, Huo Xilin finally felt relieved and reminded her, "The weather is cold. We got cold while playing snowballs just now. The combination of cold and heat is the easiest to catch a cold. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately."
This feeling of being taken care of like a child made Xu Qingsui feel warm in her heart. She nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's find a place to rest first. It's even more beautiful here at night, let you feel it too."
They booked a famous inn in the center of town. The interior layout of the room was very old-fashioned, and the furniture and objects were all from the 1970s and 1980s, but everything was new, making people feel like they had returned to that era.
The weather in winter is different from that in summer. As soon as the sun sets, the sky becomes dark in an instant.
Lights are turned on in every household in the town. The colorful lights add a unique charm to the town. The small houses look more dreamy under the lights than during the day.
Suddenly, tiny snowflakes began to float in the sky, and Xu Qingsui couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to record a video.
Huo Xilin lit the stove, and the two of them sat around the window, looking at the scenery outside and listening to the gurgling sound of tea in the teapot, feeling comfortable and happy.
The next morning, Xu Qingsui felt hot all over. In a daze, she heard Huo Xilin calling her name. She opened her eyes and felt weak and extremely sore all over.
"You have a fever. I went to buy some medicine. You can take it first and see if it works. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the hospital." Huo Xilin helped Xu Qingsui up, wrapped her tightly, and handed warm water and medicine to her mouth.
Xu Qingsui obeyed obediently, swallowed the medicine, and fell asleep again in a daze.
It was not until the afternoon that she was awakened by the heat. She felt as if she was in a furnace. The moment she lifted the quilt, a cloud of heat rose into the air and her whole body was smoking. Seeing this, Huo Xilin covered her with the quilt again.
"It's so hot, let me take a breath." Xu Qingsui didn't even realize that she said this in a coquettish tone.
"How do you feel?" Huo Xilin reached out and touched her forehead: "The fever should be gone."
"I feel stronger now, and the pain is gone." She sniffed and could only breathe through her mouth. She said truthfully, "My nose is still a little blocked."
Huo Xilin nodded with confidence, letting her free her hands to dispel the heat in the quilt, and said, "It's okay then. Just keep taking the medicine, and you should be well in two days."
After staying in the town for two days and waiting for Xu Qingsui to fully recover, the two returned home.
Good times are always extremely short. Before they knew it, they had already stayed in the north for several days. The New Year was less than a week away, and it was time to go back no matter how reluctant they were.
Huo Xilin booked a plane ticket for Xu Qingsui and sent her to the airport.
Xu Qingsui asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going back with me?"
"I still have some things to deal with. I will go back during the Chinese New Year." He kissed her forehead gently: "Be good, go back first and wait for me."
So, he came to this city for work, not for her?
This realization was like a bucket of cold water poured down on Xu Qingsui, extinguishing all the passion that had been ignited in these days.
But she didn't show it. She just nodded obediently, said goodbye to him, and walked into the airport without looking back.
It was not until she could no longer see Huo Xilin that her eyes became moist.
Xu Qingsui knew that she was sick, and she cared too much about it. Huo Xilin's every move would get on her nerves, and this kind of care was actually a kind of pathology.
As the saying goes, heart disease needs to be cured with heart medicine. She knew clearly that she could not get better.
