Chapter 606: The Duality of Man
The next morning, Lin Yilan packed up her and Huo Juncheng's things.
Huo Juncheng was still half asleep when he heard a rustling sound beside his ear, disturbing his sweet dream. He opened his eyes and saw Lin Yilan's back.
Today, Lin Yilan wore a light pink floral dress, a first for her, with her arms exposed to the air. Because the air conditioning in the room was turned on just right, Lin Yilan wasn't cold. She wore a beach hat on her head.
It was obvious that this outfit was specially dressed for camping at the beach. Huo Juncheng couldn't help but stare at her in a trance. When Lin Yilan turned around, he asked, "What time is it?"
Hearing this, Lin Yilan looked at the time on her phone and said with a smile, "Eight o'clock. Get up and get ready. We should be leaving soon."
While talking, Lin Yilan added a few more things into the small luggage bag.
Huo Juncheng nodded indifferently when he heard this, and noticed Lin Yilan walking towards him. When she was about to get close to him, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms with a little force.
"What are you doing?" Lin Yilan was startled and screamed subconsciously. She hit Huo Juncheng's chest lightly with her fist in anger.
Huo Juncheng laughed at Lin Yilan's reaction, and the resonance in his chest caused his chest to rise and fall violently twice. "Are you so happy to go out and play?" Huo Juncheng joked.
"What else?" Lin Yilan pushed Huo Juncheng away and stood up from his arms. She glanced at him vaguely and asked, "If I'm not happy, should I be sad?"
As she spoke, Lin Yilan pushed Huo Juncheng and urged him, "Hurry up and get up. Don't make them wait too long."
Huo Juncheng felt satisfied both physically and mentally at Lin Yilan's soft urging. He gave up trying to tease Lin Yilan and got up to wash up as she said.
There were two other people going this time, Gao Long and Gao Hu. After a simple breakfast, the group set off for their destination in a mighty manner.
This time, we chose Haicheng as our camping destination. As the name suggests, Haicheng is close to the sea. The locals are simple and honest, and thanks to the booming tourism industry in recent years, they've gradually gained considerable income.
Before arriving in Haicheng, Lin Yilan could only guess at everything about it based on its name. She assumed it would be an island, like the islands in southern Fujian. The customs and habits would likely be similar.
However, when she arrived, she found that Haicheng was completely different from what she had imagined. However, Haicheng could be considered half an island.
Half of Haicheng is connected to the inland city, while the other half is connected to the coast. This time we chose to camp in a small ethnic minority town near the coast.
The town's geographical location is relatively high, making it the best place to watch the Geminid meteor shower that will appear tonight.
It was just past noon when they arrived in Haicheng. Everything here was interesting to Lin Yilan. So after lunch, Lin Yilan leaned over to Huo Juncheng and whispered, "Huo Juncheng, I want to go out for a walk."
The two people whispering to each other naturally could not escape the eyes of others. Gao Long and Gao Hu were watching them with their eyes and noses, and even if they saw it, they just pretended not to see it.
The way these two people get along is really disgusting. Although they pretend not to see it, they still can't help but think so.
After hearing Lin Yilan's words, Huo Juncheng looked up at Lin Yilan, who was very close to him. He didn't agree immediately, but asked, "Aren't you tired after sitting in the car all morning today?"
"Not tired." Lin Yilan shook her head, then grabbed Huo Juncheng's arm and shook it twice, whispering, "I think the scenery outside is beautiful. Let's go take a look now? It's still a while before nightfall anyway."
In the evening, this group of people were going to the top of the mountain to watch the Geminid meteor shower.
Seeing that Lin Yilan was determined to go, Huo Juncheng had no choice but to nod and answer, "Then go."
"Let's go for a walk outside." Huo Juncheng said to Xu Ziwen who was still sitting at the table eating.
When Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan stood up and walked out, Gao Long and Gao Hu immediately followed them.
They were still in a small town belonging to an ethnic minority. It was the off-season, so only a few people could be seen on the streets. Despite the small crowds, the town exuded a peaceful atmosphere.
When I got here, the restlessness in my body was reduced a lot.
Lin Yilan walked forward at a very slow pace, looking around as she walked, interested in everything she saw. After walking for a while, until they entered a local commercial street, the people around them gradually increased.
There are small stalls on both sides of the street. The local residents speak a dialect that outsiders cannot understand. Only when outsiders pass by will they ask them in their not-so-fluent Mandarin whether they want to buy anything.
Lin Yilan's attention was drawn to a stall selling handmade candy figurines, and she ran over. Just as Huo Juncheng was about to follow, he caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure from the corner of his eye.
Huo Juncheng stopped right where he was. He turned his head and looked at the target. This time the sight in his eyes was completely clear.
Chu Xi, wearing a white dress, walked forward in the crowd. Compared to her previous sharp edges, this time Huo Juncheng found that she seemed like a different person.
"Huo Juncheng?" Lin Yilan bought the candy man and called out softly to Huo Juncheng, who was nowhere to be found.
Huo Juncheng responded immediately, and then ordered Gao Long who was following behind him: "You go follow her." Huo Juncheng pointed at Chu Xi in front of him, and then walked towards Lin Yilan through the crowd in Gao Long's shocked eyes.
As daylight was about to set, someone knocked on the door of the room where Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan were staying temporarily.
When Huo Juncheng saw that it was Gao Long who came in, he gave him a look. The two of them left the room one after the other, and when they reached a relatively quiet place, Huo Juncheng asked bluntly, "How is it?"
The question was about something that Gao Long was suddenly asked to do in the afternoon.
Gao Long said in a firm tone, "That woman is Chu Xi."
After saying this, Gao Long continued, "I followed her all the way, and she actually went to this elementary school... From the looks of it, she must be a piano teacher there."
"She is teaching the children to play the piano." Gao Long said the last sentence.
If you are not the school's dedicated piano teacher, no one should have the right to enter and leave the classroom at will during class.
"Piano teacher..." Huo Juncheng murmured after a long silence.
Chu Xi, who had suddenly disappeared, reappeared, and turned out to be a piano teacher... Huo Juncheng was somewhat surprised by this answer. He had had the good fortune to witness Chu Xi's personality before, and she was definitely not someone who could accept a lonely and leisurely life.
But what was going on now? Chu Xi had become the school's piano teacher. Huo Juncheng was both puzzled and surprised.
