Chapter 73【73】 I really want to take care of her.
"Mr. Shen, this is not the way to the apartment."
The Mercedes-Benz cut a path through the night, the shadows of the trees on either side of the path receding against the car window. On one side, the asphalt road turned into rock.
The view here is wide. In the near distance, there are wheat fields, farmers' homes, and the laughter of children playing. In the distance, there are tall buildings and a river of lights, twinkling like a galaxy of stars.
Half of the man's face was hidden in the night, the dim street light outlined a deep outline, and his slender fingers gripped the steering wheel.
"I don't think you can sleep in this state."
"I want to watch the sunrise and I just need a companion. You happen to be unable to sleep, so it's perfect for me."
“…”
Yucheng is a very unremarkable place, with neither sea nor mountains. It cannot develop tourism and has no pillar industries. It is at least 30 years behind Shanghai. It is the kind of place that no one knows about except the surrounding counties and cities.
So, of course, Tang Yuanyuan had never climbed a mountain, let alone seen the night sky. She was actually very isolated from information, and her cognition in many small things was actually blind.
What's so good about the sun?
She can see it every day.
"I didn't tell Li Mu that I wouldn't go back. He would be waiting for me and getting anxious."
"Use my cell phone to call him. We are already at the foot of the mountain."
Those who arrest people are lenient. The mobile phone was placed in the central control position. Tang Yuanyuan picked it up and dialed the apartment phone.
"Hello--"
"Tang Yuanyuan!" Just as he said one word, Li Mu's voice came through the microphone: "What's wrong with you? It's already so late, why aren't you going home?"
"I'm going hiking and won't be back tonight."
"You still want to stay out all night!" Li Mu's roar was about to explode her eardrums. Tang Yuanyuan unconsciously held the phone a little further away: "Come back here!"
The car was small, and Tang Yuanyuan was afraid that Li Mu would say something unpleasant, so she decided to make a quick decision: "I'm not going back. I'm already out of the city and at the foot of the mountain. I'll be back tomorrow. You should get some rest early, and I'll be back tomorrow."
After saying this, she unilaterally hung up the phone, and her ears were finally quiet.
"Is that kid your boyfriend?"
"Huh?" Tang Yuanyuan asked, "What's a boyfriend?"
"It means lovers, boyfriend and girlfriend."
"We're not in a relationship," Tang Yuanyuan said. "He and I are good friends."
Shen Yu hesitated for three seconds and asked, "That day, when he was unconscious, he kept calling your name. It seemed like you two were inseparable."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Oh, he's an orphan too. We've been getting goods together and have been through a lot. We rely on each other, so I guess we're used to it."
Shen Yu: "In other words, you two treat each other as family?"
Tang Yuanyuan actually hadn't thought about this problem in detail. After all, the person was right in front of her, so she didn't have the consciousness to locate anything. After giving Shen Yu such guidance, it seemed to be the same.
"About the same."
The car drove a little further and arrived at a hotel. Shen Yu stopped the car and said, "This mountain is not high, only about 100 meters. There is a hotel at the top. The rest of the way up will depend on your own strength. It will take about 2 to 3 hours."
"I have a lot of strength. I can walk for an hour carrying 300 kilograms of goods."
Shen Yu stopped, and Tang Yuanyuan stopped as well.
Shen Yu: "You walk in front, so that if you miss a step, I can catch you."
Tang Yuanyuan felt that Mr. Shen was quite attentive, but she didn't need that at all: "Don't worry, I won't miss a step, given my physique."
Shen Yu was amused and smiled softly, pointing his chin at the stairs, motioning her to go ahead.
For Tang Yuanyuan, this altitude was no problem at all. She walked briskly ahead, gradually leaving all the heavy emotions behind her, and felt even more light-hearted.
Exercise made her brain less thoughtful and she talked more. She answered whatever Shen Yu asked.
"What factory did you work in before?"
"It was a textile factory, but I didn't work there for long, only a year," Tang Yuanyuan said. "Then I earned enough money to continue my freshman year of high school."
Shen Yu thought his family lived in the countryside and that no one at home worked: "Doesn't your dad have a job? It shouldn't cost much to study."
"My dad has a job. He's a technician at a grinding wheel factory. He's a very filial son. When my grandpa fell ill, he used all his money to pay for his medical treatment. Actually, before my grandpa fell ill, our family wasn't too bad. My mom would give me a few cents in pocket money from time to time. I could save up enough for a bottle of soda or a bottle of Wahaha in a few days. I could also make two new sets of clothes a year, and the shoes always fit me well. My mom's shoemaking skills are very good, and her embroidery is very beautiful..."
Tang Yuanyuan unconsciously recalled many happy things in the past, such as catching lobsters with her mother, coating them in flour and frying them for fun, picking rice dumpling leaves together, the wild flowers she picked, the wreath her mother made for her, and the sweet cattail needles.
She picked through the grass nearby, found a few stalks of elm grass, and took the center part. "It's not as sweet as the spring ones, but it's okay. The autumn ones are old."
Shen Yu took one from her hand and tasted it. It was indeed sweet.
After her mother passed away, she never talked about these things with anyone. Whenever she talked about them, it seemed as if the corners of her lips would unconsciously curl up during those times.
Shen Yu listened quietly and asked questions seriously when he encountered something he didn't understand. This kind of listening attitude makes people interested in talking.
Before she knew it, she had climbed to the top of the mountain. She belatedly remembered what she had been talking about all the way.
"I'm sorry, you must be tired of hearing this."
"No," Shen Yu said, "Needles, fishing, lobsters, these are all things I haven't experienced. What you said is very interesting, and I'm not bored at all."
"Sunrise is after 4:50. You need to get up at 4:30. Is that okay?"
"OK."
Tang Yuanyuan followed Shen Yu into the hotel and saw a waiter coming up to her: "Mr. Shen."
Shen Yu said "hmm" lightly and let the other party lead the way, stopping in a very beautiful independent small courtyard.
"Mr. Shen, is there anything else you need?"
"Bring some food, simple bread and milk will be fine. Bring her some women's supplies and pajamas, and remember to prepare a change of clothes."
"Okay, please wait."
After Tang Yuanyuan and the others left, he asked, "Mr. Shen, when did you book the room?"
She didn't hear him calling.
"This farm is one of the Shen family's assets. I sometimes come here for vacation. This yard is private to me, and the bedding and other things are private. You can use them without worry. How about staying in this room?"
Of course Tang Yuanyuan had no problem with it. She was not a picky person. What's more, the room had an indescribable antique charm that gave people a deep and elegant feeling. It was simply too beautiful.
I had a simple meal of bread and milk to replenish the blood in my stomach from the climb. I took a shower and fell asleep on the bed. The next morning, I was awakened by a gentle knock on the door. When I opened the door, it was the front desk waiter holding a lady's skirt in her hand for changing.
Tang Yuanyuan put it on and it fit her well. She thought that it made no sense for the hotel to have girls' clothes. She guessed that maybe they belonged to Mr. Shen's ex-fiancee?
Shen Yu was already sitting at the stone table in the yard with a pot of grapefruit tea in front of him. He also poured a cup for Tang Yuanyuan.
The lights in the yard suddenly went out, and the whole world seemed to have gone dark.
Tang Yuanyuan thought there was a power outage and couldn't even see her own fingers: "Why did the power suddenly go out?"
In the darkness, the man's voice was low and slightly hoarse: "The lights will affect the sunrise, so I turned them off on purpose."
Tang Yuanyuan sighed inwardly, "How exquisite!" She waved her fingers in front of her forehead and said, "I can't even see my hands. Why is it so dark? Isn't it almost dawn?"
“The sky is darkest before dawn, when there is neither sun nor moon.”
This feeling is quite novel. You can't see anything, but you know that the sun will come out soon and there will be someone sitting opposite you.
Tang Yuanyuan played with her fingers playfully: "It's so fresh. You can't even see me. If I do something, you won't know."
In the dark shadows, the man seemed to chuckle: "Really? What do you want to do?"
Tang Yuanyuan smiled: "I dare not do anything. You are my rich man. I can't wait to curry favor with you."
Shen Yu replied: "Miss Tang, dark places are suitable for doing things that cannot be seen by others. Time flies."
"That won't work," Tang Yuanyuan said, "Mr. Shen, robbery is illegal, and doing it at night is also illegal."
Shen Yu spat out a mouthful of tea: "So you are robbing me in your heart?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Then who told you to be so rich that people would be jealous?"
Suddenly, a ray of light crossed the ridge line and penetrated the darkness, and a vague halo appeared on the other side of the mountain. The magnificence of this moment can only be described as shocking.
"The sun is out!"
This was a magnificent scenery she had never seen before. For a moment, her heart trembled with shock.
The sun has such a beautiful side.
The healing power of nature instantly awakens the original yearning for nature in our genes, and our whole body becomes clear.
Tang Yuanyuan watched for an hour without realizing it.
She went back to her room and changed into her clothes. She had washed them before going to bed yesterday and they were now completely dry. Seeing the disposable soap for washing hands, she rubbed the three pieces of clothes she had taken off. It would have been nice if there was a clothesline in the yard.
Just then, the waiter came over with breakfast, and she handed the wet clothes back to her: "I've washed them, just find a place to wash them."
waiter:"……"
Shen Yu held his forehead and said, "The laundry room has a cleaning service. They will wash it there, so you don't have to do it yourself in the future."
Tang Yuanyuan was deeply troubled, and Shen Yu understood immediately: "Just say what you want to say. I'm not someone who only listens to slander."
Tang Yuanyuan asked, "Mr. Shen, are you still sad and can't sleep?"
Shen Yu's hand, which had picked up the pineapple bun, softened slightly. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the person opposite him. "You're overthinking this. You're just suffering from insomnia."
Tang Yuanyuan: "You don't have to hide it from me. Those pajamas and skirt belonged to your ex-fiancée, right?"
Shen Yu used a knife to scrape the butter into the pineapple bun and put it in Tang Yuanyuan's palm: "Try it, you should like it."
Tang Yuanyuan took a bite and it was sweet and fragrant. It was indeed delicious. She continued, "Actually, you're quite considerate and attractive to girls. If you can't let her go, just try harder and you'll definitely be able to win her back."
Shen Yu glanced at Tang Yuanyuan behind his glasses, then turned his gaze to the outside of the mountain:
"I haven't brought her here, and the clothes aren't hers, but I do have a girl in my heart."
"I really want to take care of her."
“We’re working on it.”
Tang Yuanyuan touched his milk cup with hers and said, "Then I wish that your wish will come true soon, and that you and your sweetheart will be together."
