You Mingxu tidied up the sleeping bag and took out some chocolates and snacks from his bag to share with the girls. They all accepted it and gave her some snacks and water in return. The girls got along politely and happily.
Zou Furong also said: "Hey, your friend is so cool, what does he do?" She was totally gossiping like a girl about a strange handsome guy. Song Lan said, "That's enough, restrain yourself." Zou Furong laughed, and You Mingxu replied, "He said he worked in IT."
Zou Furong: "Where is he from?"
You Mingxu: “I didn’t ask.”
Zou Furong said, "Then I'll ask later." Song Lan rolled her eyes at her, and Zou Furong said, "Damn, can't I just admire this handsome guy? What do you really think I want to do? The journey was boring, this is called a romantic encounter, don't you understand? At least he's pleasing to the eye, okay?"
You Mingxu laughed now, and the image of Gu Tiancheng driving silently all the way appeared in his mind, along with his profile, his shoulders, and his hands. I thought to myself, it is indeed pleasing to the eyes. That man has a seductive aura all over his body.
Ming Tao next to him interrupted, "How come you don't have any guard against strange men? Be careful of encountering a serial killer."
He had just introduced the "highway serial killer" to the two ladies, but they were only slightly surprised and didn't care too much. Zou Furong said, "Even if there is a serial killer, Tibet is so big, how could we encounter one by chance?" Li Lan also said, "Yes, we are actually very cautious. There are three of you, and you don't look like bad people."
So when they heard Ming Tao advocating the theory of the danger of killers again, the two of them just smiled and continued to chat with You Mingxu about other things. Mingtao didn't get the lady's attention, so he was in a daze for a while, then lowered his head to fiddle with the remaining battery on his phone.
Just as You Mingxu was about to go back to his tent, he saw the figure who had won the favor of several girls walking out from behind the house. After all, they were outdoors, so it was not difficult for You Mingxu to guess what he had just done.
He walked closer, looked at her, and smiled: "Why are you looking at me?"
You Mingxu replied: "I'm wondering... where you come from and where you are going."
Gu Tiancheng was startled and sat down in his tent. The two people's tents were originally adjacent to each other. You Mingxu looked at the young man with his windbreaker half draped over his shoulders, revealing his beautiful shoulder line. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, his face dim in the light and shadow, and answered: "I came from where I came from, and I have to go to where I'm going." After saying this, he laughed first, and then said: "No kidding, I came from Jiangcheng, and I have to go back to Jiangcheng. What about you? Where are you from?"
This must be an extremely peaceful and gentle moment. The sky is now clear, dark blue and transparent, and the stars are emerging. The wind blew through the alpine meadows in the night. The lights were dim, and two people were sitting cross-legged on the ground in the tent, chatting casually.
You Mingxu avoided his gaze and answered, "I'm from Xiangcheng. I'm from the same place as Mingtao's serial killer idol." She smiled after she finished speaking, and Gu Tiancheng also smiled and said, "Very close."
"Yes, across the river."
He asked, "Would you like one?"
"Okay." She took the cigarettes and lighter. There was less than half a pack of "Hetianxia" brand cigarettes left.
"This cigarette from Hunan is good," he said.
She smiled, put one in her mouth, and said, "I can't usually afford to smoke, thanks."
Gu Tiancheng laughed softly and said, "If you come to Jiangcheng in the future, I will take care of you." After a pause, You Mingxu did not respond, but just held the cigarette between his fingers and smiled slightly.
Her long hair was down and she was wearing a windbreaker, revealing the tight black T-shirt underneath. At first glance at that face, with phoenix eyes, red lips, and an indifferent expression, there is a natural bit of charm. But if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are very clear and bright, and there is a firmness between her brows, making her look calm and clean.
Gu Tiancheng seldom paid attention to women, but when he was sitting opposite such a person, he actually felt somewhat moved. The loneliness and silence along the way made him miss the bustle of the city and the fierce competition in the shopping mall. But unexpectedly, I met such a woman, beautiful, stubborn, mysterious, intelligent, and unpredictable.
"Is your job interesting?" You Mingxu asked.
Gu Tiancheng replied calmly: "It's okay. I'm usually too busy, always flying around and having a lot of social events. I still prefer to be alone."
You Mingxu opened his thin lips slightly, blew out a beautiful smoke ring, and said, "Aren't you an IT technician? Why do you need to go on business trips and socialize?"
Gu Tiancheng smiled and said, "I'll take care of the technology."
You Mingxu: “Oh.” He thought to himself that after all this time, he turned out to be a president or something like that. Then he asked, "Why did you come to Tibet? To seek a dream? To escape from the world? To find spiritual liberation?"
Gu Tiancheng was silent for a moment, staring into space, then he smiled and said, "Do you believe that people can find spiritual liberation by coming to Tibet?"
You Mingxu shook his head directly: "Of course I don't believe it. I only believe that people have to save themselves."
Gu Tiancheng looked at her and nodded: "You are right. So I came to Tibet just for fun. I have never been enthusiastic about those unrealistic expectations. What about you, why did you come to Tibet?"
You Mingxu took the last puff of his cigarette, extinguished it gently on the soil, and answered without looking up: "Isn't it interesting to have a completely unknown journey? You have no idea what will happen tomorrow. For example, I encountered a robber today, but I also met you. Now, I am camping in the wilderness with four strangers, and I also smoked Hetianxia, which I can't afford normally."
Gu Tiancheng supported himself with his arms at his sides, his face slightly raised, a deep smile in his eyes, and he whispered two words: "Confidant."
This was probably the second time that this tough and introverted man looked so excited, after humming a song in the car. However, You Mingxu was neither very happy nor nervous and blushing. She just imitated him, stretched out her arms and supported herself on the ground, and even stretched out her legs. She moved her beautiful long legs a few times and asked again: "Do you have a girlfriend? Or are you married? Don't tell me that a man like you is still single."
Gu Tiancheng's originally relaxed expression faded a bit, and he took out another cigarette, lowered his head and covered the fire with his hand to light it, took two puffs slowly, and then a gentle and calm smile appeared on his face, and he answered: "Yes, I have."
You Mingxu looked at him inquiringly.
He said: "At that time, the work was too busy and too hard, and I had too little time to spend with her. She left before I could achieve anything."
You Mingxu was silent. Very common words, very common story. But when a man like him said it, it was really touching.
She said: “People need to look forward.”
"Yeah," he said, "I forgot about her a long time ago. It's not worth it. There are many things in life that are worth pursuing."
You Mingxu smiled in agreement and asked, "What about now?"
Gu Tiancheng stared at her, with a smile in his voice: "What?"
"You never had a girlfriend?"
There was a hint of amusement in his eyes, but his pupils were clear and bright: "No. I have been waiting for someone to show up. You have been asking me for a long time, what about you? Don't tell me that a woman like you doesn't have a boyfriend."
He repeated her words. You Mingxu smiled and said, "Thank you. I..." She looked up at the sky, as if she wanted to see something from the vast sky. Gu Tiancheng heard her whisper, "I have also been waiting for someone to show up."
Gu Tiancheng looked up at the sky with her. The colors there are as deep as a dream that you can never wake up from, but the starlight twinkles gently above it. Gu Tiancheng thought, so this is really the case. Some people have been together for several years, loved each other for several years, but you still don’t know who she is. Some people, although you only spend a few hours with them, can really make you feel that there will be white lightning exploding silently at some moment in your life, and you are about to see something in a trance.
