"How can you be so careless?" Chu Qi whispered, squatting down slightly to check Zhuang Xiaolan's fingers.
She wore a white shirt with a dark sweater on the outside to keep warm, and green trousers on the bottom, with the trouser legs slightly rolled up to reveal her beautiful white ankles.
The dark sweater is not too thick and is just right for keeping warm at night.
Except for the white shirt, all other clothes were more or less worn out.
Chu Qi is tall and has long legs, and she manages to wear simple clothes with a unique charm.

The man had a faint scent of soap on him.
As you get closer, the fragrance becomes stronger.
This was a refreshing smell different from that of other men. Zhuang Xiaolan felt her face flush and her heart beat faster when she smelled it. When the man stretched out his slender and bony fingers and held her fingers, she almost fainted with excitement.
She could no longer hear what he said, but one thought kept repeating itself in her mind:
Chu Zhiqing held my hand. He held my hand.
Chu Qi pretended to check Zhuang Xiaolan's fingers, but in fact she approached her deliberately. Sure enough, the system prompt of the rising ding-dong sound immediately appeared in her mind.
"Well...not a big problem."
Chu Qi raised her eyes and seemed to realize that Zhuang Xiaolan was about to faint:
"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"
"I...I'm fine." Zhuang Xiaolan's fingers were loosely held by Chu Qi. Her mind told her that she should pull them back quickly.
However, Chu Zhiqing's fingers were so soft and warm.
She was reluctant to let go...
"It's almost dark. Sorry, something delayed me and I'm late." Chu Qi took the initiative to release the girl's fingers, stood up and looked at the sunset:
"Otherwise we could talk more."
From beginning to end, she kept her back straight, and her whole body was like a tough pine tree.
"We can talk now!" Zhuang Xiaolan couldn't bear to disappoint him, so she threw her clothes into the bamboo basket and hid behind the door: "Let's go, let's talk farther away."
The girl looked into the main room with a guilty conscience, fearing that her father would find out that she was dating her lover.
"Come." Chu Qi and Zhuang Xiaolan walked together along the country road in the sunset.
This place is surrounded by bamboo forests, and intricate paths have been opened in the bamboo forests.
The bamboo leaves rustled in the breeze.
Zhuang loves the country---
Zhuang Aiguo leaned over to look at the backs of the young man and woman, and with his big hands covered with thick calluses, he picked up the bamboo basket behind the door.
"Didn't this girl say she would help me sew clothes?"
He sat on the bluestone slab where his daughter had just sat, sighed slightly sadly, and sewed the hole on the shoulder of his clothes by himself.
In fact, he was not in a hurry to wear the clothes, but he had nothing to do, so he did the work.
These days, people really value a slow life, working from sunrise to sunset.
Work hard during the day and rest well at night.
Electric lights were not yet popular in rural areas, and everyone used kerosene lamps.
Kerosene lamps are also expensive. In order to save fuel, everyone would go to bed early at night if there was nothing to do, and would never waste time lighting a lamp.
***
The bamboo forest rustles, and the air is filled with a faint bamboo fragrance, which makes you feel relaxed and comfortable.
Zhuang Xiaolan lowered her head slightly and followed Chu Qi. For some reason, she felt particularly shy facing Chu Qi today.
The heat in her cheeks never subsided.
It might have something to do with the fact that Chu Qi touched her finger just now.
Before, the two of them strictly followed etiquette when they were together. At most, they would get close to each other, but never hold hands.
Chu Qi noticed the girl's nervousness, thought for a moment, and then hooked his fingers with a malicious intent, hooking his index finger around the girl's ring finger.
A unique way of holding hands.
Chu Qi didn't put her fingers in her pockets to keep warm, so they felt cold.
Zhuang Xiaolan froze for a moment. The hooked little finger felt numb and trembling as it touched the other person's skin.
"Chu Zhiqing..."
"Are you shy?"
Chu Qi chuckled: "Don't be nervous, love means holding hands, and aren't we going to get married in the future? Don't be shy."
"Hmm..." Zhuang Xiaolan curled up the other finger that was not touched. Her cheeks were so hot that even though she was not touched, she could feel the heat rising up.
It must be very popular!
I'm so unpromising----
She wailed inwardly.
His eyes sparkled slightly, and his lips curled up uncontrollably, revealing a smile.
The bamboo forest is very large, and there are hidden caves inside.
The two strolled for a while and, led by Zhuang Xiaolan, came to a pond.
The water in the pond is crystal clear and you can see the bottom. It is not a deep green pond.
There are seven or eight huge rocks of various shapes sitting beside the pond, and the largest one has the flattest part in the middle.
Zhuang Xiaolan introduced: "It is said that these stones existed a long, long time ago. They were originally one piece, but one day they were struck by lightning and became one piece, which is what we see now."
"Have you ever gone up there to play?" Chu Qi looked up at the top of the rock.
The stone is really too high, the highest part is at least three meters.
"Of course," she said, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes:
"I used to like climbing up and down with my friends. Unfortunately, after so many years, my friends have all gotten married, and I'm the only one left. There's nothing fun to do."
"Let's go up." Chu Qi was eager to try.
Zhuang Xiaolan nodded.
After climbing to the top, Chu Qi sat on the edge of the rock and looked at the sparkling pool below. There were no fish in the water, but there were quite a few green and yellow water plants.
Zhuang Xiaolan sat next to him nervously: "Be careful, don't fall..."
Chu Qi stretched out her long arm and held the girl's arm: "Don't worry, you won't fall."
Zhuang Xiaolan's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to beat wildly again: Why does Chu Zhiqing always like to touch me?
She...she likes it so much.
Chu Qi’s inner thoughts were very simple. This girl was fragrant and soft, and seemed to have taken a shower in advance. She was also pretty. After all, she was her wife, so what was wrong with touching her?
She didn't want to learn about the original owner's romantic life, and besides, she had already talked about everything she needed to talk about some time ago.
Therefore, Chu Qi planned to start with another topic:
"This is for you."
"What?" Zhuang Xiaolan looked at the thing Chu Qi stuffed in her in surprise:
"Is this... a bird egg?"
"Well, I found it in the back hill."
"No, the eggs are too precious. You eat them. I can't take them." Zhuang Xiaolan stuffed them back into Chu Qi's hands and made up her mind that if Chu Zhiqing continued to give them to her, she would continue to refuse.
----As a result, as soon as she stretched out her hand, it was covered by his big hand.
Zhuang Xiaolan was stunned.
"I've eaten three of them, and the remaining two are specially reserved for you. Eat them quickly. You're my girlfriend, so what's wrong with giving you something to eat?"
Chu Qi patiently and persuadingly.
He deliberately spoke into Zhuang Xiaolan's ear, bringing out the charm of his voice to the fullest.
Zhuang Xiaolan was completely captivated by the beauty, and half of her body almost went limp: "......"
