Section 2

"Shiyi, do you really like him?"

Then it's settled," Hong Xiaoyu said as he put his arm around Shiyi's shoulder, "At that time, let Shiyi email you.

The next morning, she was awakened by her phone.

Suddenly, there were a few peals of thunder outside the window

"It's not that," she said, feeling a lack of confidence in her own words, "I just think he is very special."

Shiyi took a hot shower and searched the room for a long time but could not find any instant coffee, so he had to use the chrysanthemum tea in a simple paper bag, boiled some water, and brewed two full cups.

I enjoy looking at beautiful things, especially a pair that is the best. Hong Xiaoyu vigorously rubbed his nose and added, "Moreover, it is beneficial for the genes of the next generation." Shi Yi smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling, truly beautiful.

Two people, having been frozen during the day, are now nestled together under a white cotton blanket, using their feet to draw close to each other for warmth

She turned over, and Hong Xiaoyu was still sound asleep, showing no signs of waking up

It is indeed the most unique name, and in her memory, his name was the same as that.

Handing it to Hong Xiaoyu, she casually placed it on the bedside table, while checking her email and tearing off some tissue paper to wipe her nose: "Through this simple lunch today, I have finally managed to discover another merit of Zhou Shengchen, which is that he is quite manly and not overly fussy. But that’s not entirely accurate, " she looked up at Shi Yi, who had simply tied her long hair up haphazardly; such a messy style was enough for a magazine photoshoot, "Since childhood, as long as I used you as an excuse, I really have not been unable to get a date with anyone. Looking at it this way, he isn’t particularly special either."

The cameraman is originally from Shaanxi. Although he was not born in Xi'an, he is quite familiar with the area. Shiyi, fearing being late, anxiously asked Hong Xiaoyu and the cameraman to confirm the travel time to Qinglong Temple, arriving a full twenty minutes early

Let me think, Shiyi pondered carefully and finally spoke again, "Although it may be somewhat forced, you will surely like it. Have you heard a line of poetry by Nalan Xingde?" She leaned close to Hong Xiaoyu and said, "May I dine on the red grass, forever drunk and never to awaken."

Fearing to wake up Xiaoyu, she softly requested to send over the schedule for the recording time before hanging up the phone. She carefully picked up her laptop from the ground, placed it on her lap, and opened it. Soon, four emails arrived in her inbox. She quickly scanned the subject lines and found that one of them was an email without a subject, sent by Zhou Shengchen

As the sun shone, Shi Yi squinted and recognized him, and her heart quietly settled down

Seeing that there are 0 messages received, I feel inexplicably disappointed

Shiyi could find no excuse and could only say: "The name is special"

She quickly closed the computer and said, "No matter how beautiful a face is, it can only be seen from the age of sixteen to thirty-six at most"

At the right moment, she found it interesting and secretly recorded a segment on her phone, but unfortunately, the tour guide left quickly. She listened to a few seconds and realized the sound was very noisy, hesitating whether to delete it or not

Raising my head, I glanced at the rain outside: "It has been raining in Xi'an for the past two days. Once the rain stops, if you haven't left yet, we can arrange a time to meet again"

Upon seeing this email, Shiyi's gaze shifted to the lower right corner of the display, where it was just 7:36

Hong Xiaoyu has never been here, so naturally, he does not know this place he has chosen, which is quite pitiful

"You arrived early, Teacher Zhou," Hong Xiaoyu said with a smile, curling his lips. "You arrived ten minutes early; is this your habit?" Zhou Shengchen extended his hand, offering two tickets to Shi Yi: "I usually arrive fifteen minutes early when meeting others. I just took five minutes to buy the tickets." He casually handed the remaining ticket to the cameraman.

Unexpectedly, the heavens have suddenly come to their senses, and the rain has truly stopped

If you can't see it, then just don't look at it, " Shi Yi wrinkled her nose and let out a long sigh, " It's not like we won't come back for a lifetime.

"In the few days since I arrived, the people at the research institute gave me a notebook about the city of Xi'an. If you like, I can give it to you," Zhou Shengchen said in a calm tone, "This city is filled with stories."

"My name is more special," Hong Xiaoyu simply took off his jeans and pulled over a quilt, "Xiaoyu under heaven, but why haven't I seen you look at me differently?"

This explanation is inadequate, as it is appropriate to intentionally avoid the topic of Zhou Shengchen, and instead divert the conversation to Hong Xiaoyu, saying, "Let me think of something more romantic for you, so that you can get married in the future."

Hong Xiaoyu took advantage of the situation and quickly returned to his original state, smiling as he teased her: "It seems that this rain will last for a few days; I wonder if I will have the chance to see the cherry blossoms at Qinglong Temple."

Shiyi ignored her teasing, took the computer, and logged into the email.

Connecting the call, it was the studio's phone. Still not fully awake, I heard them rambling on about work arrangements: "You have truly become popular; so many people are specifically requesting your voiceover and books. Just during your four-day vacation in Xi'an, do you know how much you missed out on earning?"

Zhou Shengchen's footsteps came to a halt

Zhou Shengchen

No, Hong Xiaoyu shook his head, "What is there to say?"

At the entrance of Qinglong Temple, there was a constant flow of people, creating quite a crowded scene. They chose a prominent spot, and after about ten minutes, they saw Zhou Shengchen walking alone from a distance.

In 1986, the Qinglong Temple introduced 12 precious varieties of plants from Japan, among which the early bloomers include the Bianqian cherry and the red weeping cherry. The tour guide recited the explanation in a formal manner.

Perhaps it is the cherry blossom season, and it is rare to have clear skies

He nodded, which could be considered as an agreement

At 4:36, when leaving the laboratory, it was not raining. If it has not rained by 11:30, we will meet at Qinglong Temple at 12:00

She shook her head and said, "I won't explain it to you, as it cannot be clarified anyway"

Several people entered the temple and wandered around for a while. The cherry blossoms were vibrant and exuberant, while the eaves were mottled in color. However, the few individuals sitting on newspapers under the trees chatting casually diminished the aesthetic of flower appreciation, making it feel more like an ordinary spring outing. Even in such a crowded small temple, there were still several groups of tourists walking alongside the guide, shoulder to shoulder with maps and books.

Shiyi nodded, her gaze drifting past him as if she were very interested in the cherry blossoms

If one wishes to reminisce, perhaps it would be better to take a few photographs of the explanatory signs with a camera

She is somewhat worried that this time will be like before. It may be canceled due to sudden changes in weather, unexpected illness, busy work, or various strange unforeseen events

By the time the two individuals returned to the hotel, the cuffs of their trousers were completely soaked

Hong Xiaoyu listened with great interest: "Hurry up and tell me."

In legend, there exists a type of jade red grass that only grows in the Kunlun Mountains. If someone mistakenly collects and consumes it, they will remain in a drunken state for three hundred years without waking. She deliberately changed her tone, using the voice of a voice actor, softly reciting her name, "Hong Xiaoyu, Hongyu, Jade Red, do you think your name might mean jade red grass?"

"Shiyi, you have been poisoned..." Hong Xiaoyu said softly, "I can see that your face is flushed, don't tell me it's from the sun."

Where is it special

Shiyi said thank you, took it over, and forcefully slapped one of the pieces into Xiaoyu's hand

Hong Xiaoyu was amused by her words: "Why are you suddenly so mysterious? No, you've been mysterious since you were little. It's a bit forced, but quite artistic; I like it, so let's explain it this way from now on"
