Time Space: She is a little hard to flirt with

Chapter 177 Going up the mountain: destiny

"Why have you been gone so long?"

Everyone left, leaving only the three members of the Chu family and Du Lanying sitting in the yard talking. After the bustle of the day, Miao Lanyi had recovered and was now chatting with Du Lanying about the gossip of various families.

For example, who got married, who had a new baby, and when an elderly person passed away.

Chu Qingyuan was also listening attentively. It had only been two years since she left, but she didn't expect that there had been quite a few changes in the village.

Du Lanying's mood also became visibly brighter, and she looked a bit like she used to be.

As they were talking, they saw Si Luanxiao walking in under the moonlight. Chu Qingyuan felt that this was somewhat out of character for him, so she started to ask.

“Oh, there’s something going on with Han Zhe, I had a few words with him.”

If he wanted to maintain the perfect image in Yuanyuan's heart, he could only ignore Du Lanying's expression and Han Zhe's face.

Chu Qingyuan heard that it was Han Zhe's question and said nothing more: "I left hot water in the pot for you, go wash up first. By the way, your two men said they went back first, and they will come back after hearing from you."

"Well, I see."

After greeting the Chu couple, Si Luanxiao went ahead. He had exercised a lot today and did feel sticky. He wanted to talk to Yuanyuan later and didn't want to be rejected by her.

At this time, he selectively forgot that Du Lanying was also with Chu Qingyuan. He felt that Yuanyuan must also be thinking about him, so there must be a chance.

pity.

Until they talked for a long time in the yard and everyone went back to their rooms to rest, he didn't find a chance. He could only look at that heartless person with resentment.

Yuanyuan was so sad today, and he still wanted to comfort her.

They all had their own rooms, and Si Luanxiao slept in the guest room. This was arranged in advance by Chu Qingyuan. No one moved into the room of Grandpa Miao. The old man didn't like to be disturbed, and they would not disobey.

The next day, Chu Qingyuan and Si Luanxiao each carried a backpack and took their tools up the mountain. Before she left, Du Lanying had already taken Miao Lanyi and Chu Zonghuai out with gifts.

They brought back a lot of things from Kyoto. Miao Lanyi and the others have not left yet, and it is not certain when they will come back next time. They are all relatives of the Miao family, so it is necessary to visit each of them.

They passed through the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain and came to a not-too-steep mountain at the back. Si Luanxiao held Chu Qingyuan's hand tightly and refused to let go. Seeing that she wanted to take a sample, she motioned him to let go: "It looks quite gloomy here. I'm a little scared."

Chu Qingyuan smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Are you still afraid?"

She didn't believe it, but she didn't insist on letting go of his hand. He held the bag and she put the samples in it, and they worked together very well.

This side is close to the human settlement area. Although the mountain is rich in vegetation, there are no large wild animals. The two walked and stopped, observing the surrounding environment, talking and laughing, which was quite interesting.

As Chu Qingyuan walked, she was slightly stunned.

front.

Is it that Grandpa misses her?

They had originally agreed to go up the mountain to worship tomorrow, and then come together on the anniversary. Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, she and Si Luanxiao came first.

"Let's go."

Seeing her suddenly depressed expression, Si Luanxiao followed her quietly without saying anything.

He just silently observed the situation around him and was on guard.

until.

"Yuan Yuan?"

He looked at the tombs built against the mountain on the wide ground in front of him.

"Ah."

When he looked over again, he saw the sadness in Chu Qingyuan's eyes.

With fingers clasped together, he walked over with her.

Chu Qingyuan looked at her grandfather's clean and tidy grave and knew that several grandfathers came here often.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Si Luanxiao hurriedly knelt in front of the grave with her.

"Grandpa, I'm Yuanyuan's boyfriend. My name is Si Luanxiao. I'm sorry, I came in a hurry and didn't bring you a gift. I'm not stingy. Please wait a moment. I will come again tomorrow morning and chat with you."

Compared to Chu Qingyuan's mixed feelings and hesitation to speak, Si Luanxiao seemed to have found a soulmate. He chattered incessantly and felt a little excited.

He could see that the Chu couple did not have much control over Yuanyuan, and the possibility of them speaking for him was not very high, but the old man was different, because he was the person Yuanyuan cared about the most.

Now that he and Yuanyuan have made their relationship clear in front of the old man, even if Yuanyuan has any ideas in the future, she will have to take this into consideration.

"Grandpa, don't worry. I swear on my life that I will be good to Yuanyuan in the future. Otherwise, you can come and take me away..."

Chu Qingyuan pulled out a few newly grown grasses nearby, and felt warm and amused when she heard his words.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If that day really comes, will Grandpa really need to do it?"

She pinched her fingers gently, and the emerald green grass juice dripped along her white fingers.

"I'm just chatting with Grandpa, don't mind me."

Looking at Si Luanxiao's calm and smiling eyes, Chu Qingyuan couldn't help but think that if grandpa was still alive, he would definitely like him very much.

Grandpa once said that a boy should be able to carry a gun and wield a spatula, be able to debate with scholars and be gentle and considerate. This is what a real man is. Grandpa appreciates such people.

Now Si Luanxiao can do all of these, even far exceeding grandpa's original expectations.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine now, mom and dad are fine too. I just don't know how you are now?"

I miss you.

Why have you never come into my dream?

Si Luanxiao used the handkerchief he carried with him to wipe his grandfather's tombstone thoroughly from head to toe.

Yuanyuan didn't quite like carrying these trivial things with her. She always carried several of them with her, for fear that they would be inconvenient for her to use.

At this moment, he suddenly heard her suppressed sobs, and his heart suddenly ached.

He took a few steps over and knelt beside her. He raised one hand and held her, pressing her against his shoulder. Without looking at her, he gently moved his hands to pat her and comfort her.

No one knew how many grievances the little girl had hidden in her heart, but she never told them. All he had to do now was to accompany her and listen.

He felt that he didn't need to rush to express anything, she was the most important.

Leaning on his strong shoulders, Chu Qingyuan's tears continued to flow down, and the emotions that she had been able to control collapsed in an instant.

She doesn't know what to ask?

I just feel wronged.

For a moment, it seemed as if she wanted to cry out all the emotions in her heart.

The sad crying made Si Luanxiao's eyes well up with tears and his heart ached, but he had no other choice but to clench his fists, hug her lovingly, and stroke her back again and again to ease her emotions.

Fortunately, Chu Qingyuan was not someone who would be controlled by her emotions. She recovered after a while, and Si Luanxiao was relieved.

He swore that if he made Yuanyuan cry again, he would be a dog!

Chu Qingyuan looked into his deep eyes, the tenderness and love flashing in them seemed to melt her heart.

She couldn't help but reach out her hands and gently hug his neck, feeling his warm skin and strong heartbeat. At this moment, the distance between the two seemed to disappear, their hearts were closer, and their breaths were intertwined. This kind of intimate care made Chu Qingyuan feel extremely happy and at ease.

"Let's go."

Chu Qingyuan spoke softly, as if she had let go of something, with a hint of sweetness and anticipation in her voice. After she finished speaking, she picked up the things first and they walked towards the mountains.
