he gave me a candy

Suzhou’s winter is far less cold than Beijing’s, but it’s not warm either. It’s a humid cold that makes people want to hide in the house.

On the day I left Beijing, all the yellow leaves on the two rows of ginkgo trees on the long street at the entrance suddenly fell to the ground overnight with the north wind.Nian Sixian still remembers the sound of the suitcase being pressed against the thick ginkgo leaves. He once looked back at the ginkgo tree. Few leaves survived on the bare trunk.

But the ginkgo trees in Suzhou are still in full bloom and the best time to enjoy the leaves. The orange ginkgo fruits and golden ginkgo leaves are all staying on the trees well.

Nian Sixian felt that he had stolen time.

But it would be even better if he could steal a little more, and steal the time back to the moment when Gao An asked him to rent a house that day, he shouldn't have agreed to him.

If they didn't live under the same roof, Gao An and Xu wouldn't like her, and Xu herself wouldn't be upset.

But the things in the world are beyond the reach of the world, no one can get a glimpse of the future story with the eyes of the sky, and so does he.There was nothing but a sigh of helplessness.

Liangxi Garden is one of the 108 gardens in Suzhou. It is a hotel similar to a private club. It is said to be a hotel because it is open to the public and has more than 20 rooms.But in fact, it is nothing more than decorating a pavilion in a Suzhou garden into a unique inn house, and the price is not cheap. The four-digit price per night makes its service level rise linearly with the price.

Since Nian Sixian wants to be alone, he naturally looks for a place to hide from the world. He can always find such a place, where he can hide himself in the vast sea of ​​people, but he is like a god who sneaked down from the mortal world, and he is excellent. Zai Youzai looked at the vicissitudes of life.

For example, he is listening to the Kunqu Opera "The Peony Pavilion" in Changying Pavilion in Liangxi Garden. This section is called "Yuyuan", and it is the most famous one. [1]

In the play, the young lady accidentally enters the garden and has a dream when she returns home. In the dream, she has a lingering relationship with the scholar. After waking up, she realizes that it was a beautiful dream. She died of excessive sentimentality.But the same dream, the scholar also dreamed.The scholar also came to the garden to bring the lady back to life, and the two stayed together.Nian Sixian was recalling the storyline of "The Peony Pavilion", when the "Miss" in pink on the stage raised her thin feet slightly, twisted her orchid fingers slightly, and the libretto drifted away from Changyin Pavilion.

"If you don't come to the garden, how do you know what spring looks like?

It turned out that the colorful flowers bloomed all over, like this, they were all ruined by the broken well.

What a beautiful day on a good day,

Whose house is it for pleasure. "

The phrase "If you don't come to the garden, how can you know what spring looks like" echoed in his mind, when a waiter wearing a cheongsam came over to refill his tea, took another three-layer red lacquer food box, and placed it in front of his eyes layer by layer. There are two refreshments on each floor, a total of six.There are mung bean cakes in the shape of peony flowers, chrysanthemum cakes with jujube paste fillings, and a little rabbit that looks similar to mousse cakes. Each of them is a bite-sized cake, and they are really exquisite. "Sir, this is Try the Su family tea made by the chef in our garden."

Nian Sixian just had dinner, he was afraid that he would feel sick to his stomach if he ate too much, so he waved his hands: "I just had dinner, I don't have much appetite."

The waiter smiled, and continued the lyrics of the actor on the stage, saying: "If you don't go to the garden, how will you know what spring looks like? If you don't try it, how will you know you don't like it?" She brought the tea in the shape of a white rabbit to him, and He took a small shell spoon that was no more than ten centimeters long and handed it to him, "Little white rabbit, sugar substitute, very low in calories, try it, it's very interesting taste."

Nian Sixian had no choice but to take the spoon, and took a bite out of the white rabbit's stomach. The smell was very familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.

Seeing his expression, the waiter knew he must be familiar but didn't guess it, so he said, "It tastes like white rabbit milk candy."

If you don't go to the garden, how do you know what spring looks like?

He stared at the "white rabbit" blankly, recalling that sentence.I don't know when the stage became quiet, maybe it was time to change the scene.He thought about sitting down for a while and listening to the next play, so he picked up the spoon and continued to eat the little white rabbit.Before the neon light shell spoon touched the little white rabbit's ears, the little porcelain stack was pulled away by one hand.He followed that white finger and looked at the person coming.

The man's complexion was not very good-looking, but there was some luck in his eyebrows and eyes, as if he wanted to sigh first, but the young man with red lips and white teeth, just like the characters in the play, asked: "How do you know the beauty of spring when you don't come to the garden?"

Nian Sixian was taken aback, "Huh?"

"Why?" Gao Anhe put down the porcelain stack and sat in front of him.

Nian Sixian said, "It's just a vacation, not to hide from you."

"I'm not asking myself, did I ask if I was avoiding me? What are you rushing to defend?" Gao Anhe took the teacup that Sixian drank during the Chinese New Year, and drank the rest of the tea in one gulp.

Nian Sixian was stopped by him, but if he continued to talk about this question, he would become hiding from him. Besides, even if he didn't admit it, he really wanted to hide from the world. After all, Gao Anhe was also one of the people he wanted to hide from the world. members.He had no choice but to say in a low voice: "You, drink. My... tea."

"Just to drink your tea."

Nian Sixian reluctantly picked up the empty teacup, shook his hand at the waiter behind him, meaning to add another one, the waiter hurriedly handed over a new teacup, and filled both teacups with tea.Seeing that Gao An and Mentou were eating peony mung bean cake, he seemed to be very hungry, so he pushed all the other snacks in front of his eyes, picked up the teacup himself, and concealed the panic in his heart. What?"

Gao Anhe didn't seem to stop at all, he devoured his tea and uttered from his throat: "Chasing you."

"Pfft!" Nian Sixian's half sip of tea not only failed to conceal his panic, but also made the whole person appear more chaotic.

Gao Anhe didn't look at him, took a tissue from the table, and passed it in front of him without turning his head.

Nian Sixian took the tissue, wiped the corners of her lips, and said "oh".

After a while, a gentleman in a dark blue gown came up on the stage, holding a Ruan Qin, and began to fiddle with it.

Nian Sixian handed the last snack, the little white rabbit that he only ate one bite, to Gao Anhe, "Didn't you eat?"

"I just want to eat the little white rabbit." Gao Anhe stared at him closely, held the little white rabbit in his hand, and swallowed it in one gulp.After eating, he finally showed a somewhat satisfied expression, and wiped his mouth with a tissue, "It tastes like white rabbit milk candy, doesn't it? My little white rabbit doctor?"

Nian Sixian looked at him from left to right, "How do you know I'm here?"

"The hotel booking APP message push." ​​Gao Anhe took out Nian Sixian's old mobile phone at home, "I didn't look at it on purpose, when I got home, it just rang, and the mobile phone pushed 'Mr. Nian, the Suzhou you booked Liangxiyuan Hotel...', I...I'll give you a mobile phone..."

This lame statement, as if the person who said "chasing you" just now was not him.Nian Sixian didn't expose it, and tied the phone, "Then, thank you."

"Brother, I have no place to let go."

"An extra room."

"It's too expensive, more than 4000 a night, I'm poor." Gao Anhe saw that he didn't want to take him in, so he got excited. Sure enough, he ate sweet food just now and added enough calories. I'm going to trick people into sharing the same bed tonight.

If he didn't know Gao Anhe's thoughts for him, Nian Sixian would have taken him in, but knowing his thoughts for him, he felt very awkward.And the carved ancient bed in the big room is the place of the ancient boudoir. I don’t know whether it’s because the ancient people were small or what. Nian Sixian doesn’t look big when he lives alone, sleeping with two big men. Covered with two quilts, it seems a little cramped.

Nian Sixian walked to the reception center at the entrance of Liangxi Garden, and said to the service staff at the front desk of the guest room: "Add an extra room, and I will pay for it. I am the room in Chuchun."

"Chuchun," the front desk clerk quickly glanced at the computer, "Mr. Nian. Well, wait a moment. I'm sorry, Mr. Nian, the room is full today."

Gao Anhe stood behind him and smiled triumphantly, it must be Yuelao who helped him.He carefully pulled the fabric of the clothes outside Nian Sixian's arm, "Brother, in order to come here, I walked around yesterday and didn't get a high-speed rail ticket. Today, I wandered around for more than ten hours on a super-slow train."

Only then did Nian Sixian realize that when he came here, he bought the last ticket for the first-class seat. Recently, at the end of the year, there are so many people on vacation that high-speed rail tickets are very difficult to buy.He walked in a hurry, probably only the slow train.Gao Anhe saw that he was moved, so he tried his hardest tricks to the end, like a puppy in the water, begging eagerly: "Brother, take me in."
