First dawn

Facts have proved that the food in the scenic area is for outsiders.Soon a few people realized that the bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup in front of them was quite wonderful, and the dim sum on the table was really flashy.

The "little yellow duck" is hard and tastes like chewing wax. A few people chew it mechanically around a square table, as if it has lost its color.

"If you don't like it, don't eat it." Yi Xiao couldn't help the smile in his words, moved the plate away from Qiao Jue's face, and pushed the little yellow duck whose head was twisted off by Qiao Jue's chopsticks far away. In front of Guo Da.

Guo Da: "..." Damn.

Yi Xiaoyu said earnestly: "Don't rush to buy it, you won't be able to pull it off."

"Have you been here before?" Qiao Jue recovered and asked Yi Xiao.

Yi Xiao nodded: "When I was young, I visited with my parents once."

The movements in Qiao Jue's hands stopped. At that time, Yi Xiao's parents probably hadn't divorced. The young Yi Xiao, holding the hands of his parents, probably had seen most of the scenery here.

Yi Xiao didn't care too much, and played with Qiao Jue's left hand under the square table, before the other people were relieved, she leaned over and whispered in Qiao Jue's ear: "There are delicious food around here, bring them later. you go."

It was getting late, Mu Qingwei and Jiang Wenyan got into the surrounding small shops again, Guo Da and Bao You desperately searched for the next restaurant, but as soon as they walked on the bluestone road, the few people ran away without a trace, Yi Xiao had no choice but to Following his childhood memories, he took Qiao Jue to walk along the Qinhuai River.

"Here we are." After walking for a long time, Yi Xiao stopped in front of a shop.

Surrounded by the same ancient streets, Qiao Jue found a subtle change. The buildings here are somewhat different from the Confucius Temple.

"Seed cake?" Qiao Jue caught a glimpse of the shop's signboard.

"Yes, it's guaranteed to be better than duck blood vermicelli soup." Yi Xiao said proudly, "I want two sweet-scented osmanthus candies."

The biscuits are just out of the oven, and they are still warm in the palm of your hand. The biscuits are crispy and thin, with a little light pink sugar core inside, and it smells faintly sweet-scented osmanthus.Qiao Sui thought it was just an ordinary sugar-filled biscuit, but he took a bite and found that it was not the case. The biscuit was baked with duck fat, but it was not greasy at all. The cake crust falls on the tip of the tongue, and the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar that melts in the mouth exudes a refreshing sweetness.

"Do you like it?" The two found an empty corner, sat on the stone steps, each holding sesame seed cakes, Yi Xiao raised his hand to wipe away the cake crumbs from the corners of Qiao Juan's lips, and asked softly.

Double entendre.

There was no one around, the moonlight in the sky was quietly splashing Qinghui, Qiao Jue leaned forward, and Yi Xiao also leaned forward.

The moonlight is like water, the fireflies are flying in the summer night, and the sweet and fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus candy is long.

On the return journey along the road, the lights are just on, and the Qinhuai River in the night is surrounded by the real ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.Ambilight, the end of the river is twinkling lanterns, painting boats and cruise ships, together with Shengge, shatter the sparkling waves.

There are human voices around, but there seems to be no human voice around.Qiao Jue turned around suddenly, and Yi Xiao was at the end of the bridge, holding up the candied haws he just bought, and waving at him.

At that moment, the waves of the moon, the fluttering fireflies, the glass-colored stars, and the singing and dancing boats all lost their color in an instant because of that person.Yi Xiao is the only one left in the whole world, as if his vitality has never had anyone else.

There were many moon shadows and lamp shadows, like a dream but not a dream. On the contrary, the entangled past of more than ten years was completely eclipsed in front of this person.

I want to stay here, I want to stay in my dream.

"Do you like it?" This is the second time Yi Xiao asked this tonight.

Qiao Jue stood beside Yi Xiao, and as far as he could see, the sky full of stars seemed to be blown down by the summer wind, shining brightly on the bottom of the long river.

Qiao Jue sighed softly and nodded slightly. He likes this city, and the person who likes to bring him to this city has long been unable to hide his long heart.

"Little Qiao, I have a goal now." Yi Xiao said, "Maybe we can stay in this city in the future."

The surrounding scenery is beautiful, the night is getting darker unknowingly, the number of tourists on Qingshiban Road is much less, and the shops in the east and west cities have closed their wooden doors. When Qiao Jue and Yi Xiao returned to their rooms, the other four had already been back for a long time.

After sending away Guo Da who wanted to come to fight the landlord, Qiao Jue lay down on the bed and walked a lot during the day, the originally entangled thoughts were let go, and the whole person suddenly became a little tired.She closed her eyes and lay on the bed for a while, but she couldn't hear Yi Xiao's movement, so Qiao Juan opened her eyes in doubt.

From his angle, he could just see Yi Xiao sitting by the bedside table, looking at something in his hand.

"What are you looking at?" Qiao Jue said lazily with his eyes half closed.

"This." Yi Xiao turned around.

Qiao Jue opened his eyes, saw the huge English letters on the paper box in front of him, and became sober.

"It was originally placed here." Yi Xiao spread his hands innocently.

Qiao Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and while relaxing, he was also inexplicably disappointed.

Qiao Sui: "..." No, this is not my own style of doing things.

So Qiao Jue opened his eyes and asked, "Do you want to?"

Yi Xiao, who was just planning to tease Qiao Jue, said, "..." A certain unsatisfactory part of the body began to assert itself.

Qiao Jue's eyes moved down, his expression was very exciting.

Just in time for the summer night wind, the summer flowers were blown up and sent into the half-opened window. With the help of the soft light in the room, Yi Xiao saw his own shadow in the depths of the other party's eyes like a clear pool.Qiao Jue stared blankly at Yi Xiao, who threw away the box in his hand and kissed him just like that.All along, the closeness between the two has been limited to hugging and kissing, but today, with the moon outside the window and the sweet fragrance between each other's lips, they suddenly want to do something more, instinctively have to think Get closer to each other.

It's really a blessing to meet and get acquainted with two people with the same mood in different situations.

"You...will you?" In the eyes of the other party, Qiao Jue's ear tips turned red, he gave up struggling, and turned his head away from Yi Xiao.

"Are you questioning me?" Yi Xiao raised her eyebrows, obviously a bit unhappy.

Qiao Jue: "..." Oh, it turns out that this question is unquestionable, but I always feel that I am at a loss.

Yi Xiao immediately said that he knew everything without a teacher, and immediately grabbed Qiao Jue's wrist to show that he had no doubts. Qiao Jue was always ticklish, but when Yi Xiao made such a fuss, he started to use his hands and feet and started to flop.

"I wanted to wait until we were all adults, but I really..." Yi Xiao kissed Qiao Jue's ear.

"Hey..." Qiao Jue felt something stuck in his back, "Wait..."

"What sound?" Yi Xiao felt an unusual movement, and raised her head from Qiao Sui's neck.

"cell phone……"

Yi Xiao stretched out his hand and pulled Qiao Jue up from the bed, feeling quite unsatisfied.

Qiao Jue turned on the phone screen: "Hey, Mom, what's the matter?"

"Hui Sui, your grandpa..."

Qiao Jue's complexion changed slightly. On the other end of the phone, there was a mix of loud and noisy voices, interspersed with a sharp cry. Through the phone, Qiao Jue could tell that it was her aunt's voice.

The temperature of the air conditioner in the room seems to be a little low, which actually makes people feel chilly in summer.

The originally short vacation came to an abrupt end.

The night was getting dark, but everyone was still awake. Although they hadn't seen all the scenery of the city yet, everyone chose to go back to Lianxing with Qiao Sui tomorrow.Qiao Jue sat by the bed, holding his mobile phone, watching the news in the group, and fell into an empty state of mind.

All charm and longing will remain in this city.

"Don't think about it." Yi Xiao walked to the bedside, and put his right hand on the tip of Qiao Jue's hair. Qiao Jue's hair was very soft, and Yi Xiao didn't want to take it away, but Qiao Jue had just taken a shower, and there was still water in her hair Zhu, Yi Xiao fetched a towel, stood beside Qiao Jue, and dried Qiao Jue's hair.

When Qiao Jue came back to his senses, Yi Xiao was slowly brushing his hair. Yi Xiao obviously didn't take care of others, but tried to slow down his movements so as not to hurt Qiao Jue.

Qiao Jue was silent, but found that he had begun to be attached to the movements of the other party's hands.Probably because Yi Xiao felt that he had dried his hair, and wanted to hang the towel back in the bathroom, Qiao Jue suddenly felt a little bit reluctant, and stretched out his arms to hug Yi Xiao's waist, and Yi Xiao's movement of leaving stopped.

Summer's clothes were very thin, and Yi Xiao felt the wetness on his back through a layer of surprise, and he stopped in place suddenly.

Qiao Jue hugged Yi Xiao tightly, unwilling to raise her head, and didn't want the other party to see herself at this time.But she felt that Yi Xiao turned around slowly, put her hands behind his head, and hugged him even tighter.

"Don't be afraid, don't think about it." Yi Xiao sat on the side of the bed, threw the towel in her hand aside, and hugged Qiao Jue back, "All your unbearable and entanglements are stored with me, and the rest of the world is impermanent. Block it for you."

Qiao Jue leaned on Yi Xiao's shoulder, slowly closed her eyes, and her thoughts flew back to the past——

When he was young, Qiao Zeyan was still in good health, spoke clearly and walked neatly.At that time, Xu Hong rented a shop near Yuanqiao to do business, and Qiao Jue, who had no family to manage, followed a group of wild children in Yuanqiao all day long. Guo Da also met Qiao Jue at that time.Qiao Heng is on business trips all year round, Xu Hong is busy with business, Qiao Jue's grades have never been worried at home, and Xu Hong and Qiao Heng have no time to care about other things in life except food and clothing.At that time, Qiao Zeyan preferred Qiao Jue's two elder brothers, so he couldn't say anything well to Qiao Jue.But there are some things that Qiao Jue has remembered for many years.

For example, the toy that Qiao Zeyan bought for him was a small flowering Christmas tree at the back door of the elementary school. Countless times, I finally waited until the Christmas tree was full of white flowers.

That was probably a rare pastime in Qiao Jue's childhood. Even after he grew up and learned the principle of paper tree blooming, Qiao Jue still remembered the joy of that time for many years.

Later, Qiao Zeyan fell ill and half of his body was paralyzed. The two sons fought for the family property, but the daughter ignored him and had to live in the old dormitory of the glass factory where Qiao Sui's family lived.The insignificant light in the childhood life was just covered by the clouds and smoke of life.

Until now, on the ancient road in a foreign land, a conversation on the phone, during the chaos of the war, inexplicably awakened a memory of the past in him.

Yi Xiao listened to a long story, but what appeared in front of her eyes was the young Qiao Jue, a child with clear eyes, watching the simple toys on the table without taking her eyes off.

Unspeakably distressed.

If he could get to know Qiao Jue earlier, he would definitely send all the best things to Qiao Jue's hands.

It will be the same in the future.

Qiao Jue leaned on Yi Xiao's shoulder, the story was not over, her breathing gradually became even, and she fell into a deep dream, Yi Xiao suddenly felt a little dry, but she didn't dare to move at all, just hugged Qiao Jue lightly , listening to the sound of summer insects outside the window.
