"You said the best place to view the view is the rooftop?"
Ling Ran nodded, "What else? Is there any place higher and safer than the roof?"
"Safe? What if I slide down? This isn't a flat roof, it's a gable roof!"
"Don't be afraid, I'll hold you, you just watch, I promise you won't fall." What a great opportunity I found to get closer.
Ling Ran quickly climbed onto the roof, crouched on the eaves, and said to Zhou Xiang, "Come up quickly, I'll pull you up."
Zhou Xiang climbed the bamboo ladder carefully. I don’t know what people think in this era. Don’t they know that bamboo ladders are slippery?
Carefully climbing to the top of the ladder, he grabbed Ling Ran's hand. Ling Ran stood up and took two steps back. Zhou Xiang didn't know how he used such strength, but he felt dizzy and landed in his arms.
"Oh, I'm so scared." Zhou Xiang screamed in fear.
Ling Ran patted the little girl's back and said, "How can I hold you if I don't scare you to death?"
She has missed me all her life, and now I am looking at a two-month-old little girl. I can’t hug her without putting in some effort!
After being slapped a few times, Zhou Xiang calmed down and said, "Let me go!"
Ling Ran let go immediately after hearing this, not wanting to arouse her suspicion, but he still held her hand, and instead interlocked their fingers.
Zhou Xiang didn't pay any attention and was just worried that he would fall.
Ling Ran took her to the top of the roof, stepped on the rooftop, and walked slowly for a distance. They should be in the middle of the street.
Pulling the little girl to sit down, "Sitting here, you can see the north and south of the street. Is this the best position?"
Zhou Xiang looked around and saw the provincial road to the south and a small market where farmers were selling their goods to the north.
"Yeah! It's the best position!"
Ling Ran leaned to the side, shielding her from the wind. He smelled the faint scent of soap coming from the little girl and sighed with satisfaction.
Today was worth it. I got to hold the little girl I had been thinking about day and night, and I also held her little hand the whole time. It was so nice.
A deafening sound of gongs and drums rang out, and the dragon dance began.
Zhou Xiang nervously grabbed Ling Ran's hand, and Ling Ran looked at her with a smile. The little girl was nervous, and she would be nervous even when watching a lantern festival.
In fact, it was because of the atmosphere. The sound of gongs and drums livened up the atmosphere. In his previous life, Zhou Xiang could only see the backs of the crowd, and even the gaps between the adults' legs were filled with other children.
Some children were riding on their father's shoulders and watching, while I could only look at the children sitting high up with envy.
Now I am the tallest, so I don’t need to envy tall kids anymore.
Zhou Xiang turned around and said, "Thank you, Ling Ran."
Her face brushed lightly against Ling Ran's lips, and Ling Ran's heart immediately felt like it had been electrocuted, and his entire body went numb.
Zhou Xiang was completely unaware and turned his head away after he finished speaking.
Ling Ran stared at the little girl's face with fiery eyes. In the past two months, the little girl's face had grown some flesh, and her skin was not so dark after a winter.
The little girl in my heart is white and chubby, with big eyes blinking, like a doll. I must feed the little girl and make her look chubby again.
It looks like her face must be very biteable. Uh, have I really bitten her face?
The dragon dance team had already started. Zhou Xiang wanted to stand up to watch, but Ling Ran didn't let go of her hand and stood up with her.
In this life and past, she was finally able to fully see the entire dragon dance. Zhou Xiang's palms were sweating with excitement. Ling Ran took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off the little girl's palms.
'You are watching the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are watching you from upstairs.'
Ling Ran looked sideways at the little girl whose eyes were wide open due to excitement, and his heart softened. You will be the most precious baby in my life.
Seeing the little girl unconsciously wanting to follow the team, Ling Ran hugged her.
"Aren't you afraid of falling?"
"Ah? I forgot!"
"So, do you want to go south?"
"Yes, yes, of course." Zhou Xiang said without hesitation.
"Then I'll carry you! You're so excited that you're not even looking at your feet."
Zhou Xiang looked at the back in front of him, then at the team that was gradually moving south, gritted his teeth, and climbed up.
"You have to be careful."
Ling Ran stood up. The little girl was really thin and didn't weigh much even when she lay on his back.
"Don't worry, just don't move."
Zhou Xiang lay on his back, stopped talking, and stared at the moving team.
Ling Ran walked slowly on the roof. The team reached the south, circled around the provincial road, and then turned back.
When we went there, we walked along the west side, but this time we came back to the east side, which is where Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran are.
Ling Ran deliberately stopped on the roof of a shop where a table was placed. Zhou Xiang was almost face to face with him and saw how the lion dancer got the cigarette in his mouth.
Ling Ran still carried her on his back, walking slowly northward, willing to carry her like this until the end of time.
The Lantern Festival was over, and Zhou Xiang excitedly told Ling Ran about his feelings.
"They're amazing. The two of them work so well together. They're on the fourth floor! They finished the cigarette in no time."
Ling Ran was still walking and listening quietly. He would not let the little girl go until she remembered.
The steady pace, slow rhythm, and the sense of security on his back made Zhou Xiang relax his mind, let go of everything, follow the slow steps, and enter a dream.
There was no sound of talking, only the sound of even breathing. Ling Ran knew that she had fallen asleep, and his two months of hard work and obsession had not been in vain.
The little girl finally let down her guard, walked gently to the ladder, turned around, supported her butt with one hand, held the ladder with the other hand, and slowly came down.
Stand firmly and support your thighs with both hands. If the little girl suddenly wakes up and thinks that you are deliberately molesting her, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
Still walking slowly, he sent the little girl to Zhou's house and reluctantly handed her into Zhou's mother's arms.
Seeing that her little girl could fall asleep while watching the lantern festival, Zhou's mother knew that she was exhausted recently. Ever since she "came back", there had been constant household chores, and she was the one who had to worry about and deal with them all.
I took off the little girl's coat, down jacket, and diaper and pants, wiped her face and hands, and tucked her into bed.
Zhou Yu enviously watched her mother do all this. Mother Zhou ruffled her hair and said, "Your sister has been exhausted recently. She is the one who worries about everything, big and small, inside and outside."
Zhou Yu nodded. Although he had only been home for more than ten days, he could still see how many things his sister had to take care of every day.
Ling Ran returned home excitedly, said hello to his parents and went into his room, stroking his pounding heart.
I gained a lot today. I hugged people and carried people on my back. It is said that if a woman can fall asleep on a man's back, then this man will make her feel safe.
