Chapter 5, The Land of Wind, Cai Manxin's Past Continuous Tense

Indeed, look at the colors on her body, doesn't it resemble a dandelion? The yellow represents the flowers, while the white signifies the seeds

Cai Manxin breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully, I have not lost my own experiences; I believe I will not in the future. Nothing is more important than the self

Hello, be careful, this is Brother Hai's treasure; if you break it, he will eat you

Jiang Hai turned to Cai Manxin and said: "There is always a free lunch in the world." Then he turned his head and asked, "Isn't that right, Brother Cheng?"

Pupu

"Watching the sunset with A-Jun, it is always wonderful no matter where we are," Jiang Hai said with a smile

What did you say? he asked loudly

Cai Manxin hummed a tune, feeling cheerful as she hung the clothes out to dry. A Jun approached and said, "You look great lately, becoming more and more beautiful. How about being my two hundred and eighty-first girlfriend?"

As the final note faded, the lingering sound filled the air. Cai Manxin applauded, saying: "So this is where the master is. What a beautiful piece, please play it again!"

"Don't say that!" Cai Manxin waved her hand, "If you talk like this, the poor deserve to starve to death." She packed two convenient meal boxes and burped all the way back to the inn. She knelt on one knee on the ground, softly calling: "Kitty, kitty kitty."

The river and sea cast a sidelong glance: "I am not a radio station, so I cannot play songs at will"

假如我是女王

Yes, yes! The boss showed surprise, "Ah Hai, you came without saying hello. What have you been busy with? You haven't come to manage the shop."

I will take the remaining fish heads with me," said Cai Manxin, "There is a stray cat near Granny Lu's house, it is very pitiful

"Is it because more girls will like you that you like it?" With that, Manxin snatched the guitar from A-Jun's arms and strummed it a few times.

No, it is you who has deceived how many young ladies

The winding road is best without an end. Climbing up a small hill, the motorcycle roars down the path, with various colorful flowers blooming by the roadside, gradually becoming dazzling to the eyes, and a heart brightens with the clear weather of the southern country

Cai Manxin rested her hand on his shoulder and whispered, "I like you"

Sooner or later, He Luopo does not agree, as love has not yet arrived; any discussion about it is mere empty talk

Jiang Hai had Cheng Ge steam a striped fish again. The two of them ate until their bellies were round.

Cai Manxin said: "Thank you for today, I will treat you to seafood. I found a place online that is both good and affordable." She took out a small piece of paper, on which was written the address and the owner's mobile number

The melody gradually stabilizes, with occasional resonances of open strings vibrating in the gaps of chord transitions. Like the calm after the storm, in a world where the colors of water are hazy, a faint silhouette slowly recedes into the distance

She spread her arms, flying, oh flying

Survival of the fittest. Jiang Hai said, "This is the law of nature; there is no space or resources for the weak to survive"

I assure you there will not be a two hundred eighty-second one! A Jun bowed and said, "What conditions? You tell me, I will give you even the stars in the sky!"

The intermittent sound of the guitar behind her always interrupted her train of thought. Cai Manxin couldn't help but turn around and scoot over to Lu Shengjun's side on the straw mat: "Ah Jun, you have been playing for an hour, and it has only been these few measures. You can take a break now."

Cai Manxin did not argue with him, shrugged her shoulders, and patted the cat's head, "Pupu, eat more, you are going to be a mother."

"No, I oppose smoking!" She turned around with her head held high, "I will carry it back myself, just consider it exercise, a way to lose weight."

Where is ... ...

Such a man, with broad shoulders and a proud face. Suddenly, he smiled charmingly like a child, an expression that did not originally belong to him, yet it appeared so naturally as if it had been hanging on his face since the moment of creation.

Ordered two blue crabs, one pound of shrimp, and one pound of mango snails, all steamed or boiled. Also requested a dozen oysters and some lime. The total came to one hundred and five yuan. "Isn't it cheap!" Cai, feeling quite pleased, asked the waiter, "Can you round down the total? We ordered so much."

"Say it earlier!" A Jun snapped his fingers, "I will go borrow from Brother Hai right away, his motorcycle is really cool!"

How about I give you two mangoes

"Are you trying to lose weight?" Jiang Hai chuckled, "Do you want to become as thin as a rake?" He took two bags from her hand

In June, under the clear sky, a sudden rainstorm arrived, coming too swiftly for Cai, leaving him completely unprepared.

But she is eager to go, calling out affectionately, "She wants to go to the open area by the roadside to watch the sunset"

There is an abundance of such things on the tree, more than one can eat.

Exiting from Granny Lu's hostel and turning down two streets, one can see the most bustling agricultural market in Ganggang. Ever since Cai Manxin accompanied Granny Lu to buy groceries and saw lychees, papayas, and mangoes at the roadside stalls, with prices as cheap as the cabbages filling the markets in Beijing during autumn, she has listed this place as one of her favorite markets. With nothing to do, Manxin grabbed her wallet and strolled over, not forgetting to buy a green coconut along the way, sipping the refreshing juice and making the straw whistle as she drank. She could not resist the enthusiastic calls of the vendors, picking and choosing, and ended up buying more than ten jin of fruit.

I know this place. Jiang Hai led her through winding paths, turning at the embankment, and saw a bustling large food stall. There were no flashy advertisements, yet the business was thriving.

What kind of girl is she

The mood in June, before summer, is always occasionally clear with a bit of rain

I cannot forget that boy and his stubbly beard

The wind was fierce and strong, almost allowing one to ride it up to the azure skies. The checkered shirt of the river and sea flapped loudly in the wind, as Cai Manxin tied the fluttering hem behind him, flipping it up to fasten it atop his head. She laughed heartily, shouting: "Taliban!"

"No. " Jiang Hai said, "You are too reckless, laughing and joking on the road is very unsafe."

What else do we hope to obtain from the utopia that cannot be found in the bustling harbor?

"Hello," Cai Manxin chuckled, "Who is more arrogant, the one who claims to be liked by many girls?"

"Brother Cheng, you are here, what do I have to worry about?" Jiang Hai said, "Look, guests from the capital come here for a reason."

Be a bit more feminine, and don't be so arrogant like you are, always trying to show off your cleverness

Jiang Hai tore off a piece of tissue to wipe the grease from his hands, rolled it into a ball, and hit Cai Manxin on the back of her head, causing her to stick out her tongue. Jiang Hai grasped the neck of the guitar, pulled it from her hands, turned the tuning pegs, and adjusted the pitch of each string. He then attached the strap and slung the guitar across his body.

As Jiang Hai passed by the market entrance, he unexpectedly ran into Cai Manxin. Sweat beads glistened on the tip of her nose, her fingers were purple from being pinched by several large plastic bags, yet her eyes sparkled with excitement as she raised her chin in a gesture of greeting

"I didn't notice, your sense of rhythm is quite good," Cai Manxin sincerely praised.

你让我想要尝试一下

What?! he shouted again

"Only practice makes perfect." A Jun interjected, pointing at Jiang Hai, "Brother Hai has always said this. So you see, not everyone only knows a few chords to deceive girls."

How to know if one has fallen in love with someone? She once asked her friend He Luo.

There are also many boys in school who learn to play the guitar. I have seen quite a few of them. After learning a few chords, they go to the lawn to strum around and sing a couple of campus folk songs, isn't it all just to impress the girls?

"I want to go to the road by the mountain, it's really beautiful." She had never used such a coquettish tone before, and even she felt a chill upon hearing it. Gathering her courage, she closed her eyes and steeled her heart, "How about you take me there?"

Jiang Hai was taken aback, furrowing his brow in helplessness. However, he also smiled, a sincere and natural smile.

The river and the sea no longer stood shoulder to shoulder, but instead squatted down to take a closer look and said: "She is pregnant"

How do you know

The fleeting nature of youth brings forth a sense of melancholy in young girls

The yellow and white kitten peeked out, emerging from behind the bushes, and let out a soft "meow" in a pitiful manner, staggering towards Cai Manxin. Upon catching a whiff of the scent, it couldn't help but dash forward a couple of steps, lowering its head to feast heartily.

She chuckled and nudged up beside Jiang Hai: "Hey, hey, it's not just a few, how many is it?"

"It's good that you remembered to come over." Using a hanger to hit him, with a deliberately stern face, "No respect for elders."

"Ha, you are here to take credit again!" Manxin gave him a knock on the forehead, "You little rascal, are you thinking of deceiving which girl again?"

Sooner or later

你是世界之王

The sound of the zither suddenly became urgent, like the morning dew blown off leaves by a swift wind, sweeping across the surface of the pond. The river and sea nodded slightly in time with the rhythm, their expressions focused, as both hands left the strings of the zither, tapping rhythmically on the soundboard, akin to a playful child joyfully running in the wind, leaving behind a series of hurried footsteps. After a beautiful flourish, his serious and stern expression softened, blossoming into a comforting smile

The boss is a local man with a ruddy complexion, who approached with a smile and said, "It's all good, it's all good, please come often in the future"

The love that comes unexpectedly makes you foolish, clumsy, and timid. He Luo said that being beside him makes you afraid to breathe and speak incoherently, completely not being yourself

Muttering a phrase, I was left behind by the swiftly speeding motorcycle

Not accompanying me is your greatest regret of the four years of your undergraduate studies

Cai Manxin wrote a line on the back of the postcard, noting the address of her dormitory. She then took another card and filled in He Luo's name. After pondering for a moment, she found herself at a loss for words.

Can you guess what kind of story is hidden in June's pure heart

He pursed his lips, his expression pure and earnest. When he lowered his head, his neatly cropped hair appeared particularly thick. From the front, the contours of his brow bone were strikingly distinct, and the resolute lines extended to his straightened nostrils. Seemingly indifferent, he casually plucked the strings, producing beautiful arpeggios, with notes falling like the sound of raindrops from the eaves, striking the bluestone pavement. Jiang Hai lowered his eyelids, and his eyelashes were surprisingly long, as if concealing all his thoughts. He appeared relaxed, seemingly unhurried, yet the flowing melody poured forth from the strings like a stream, akin to a gentle breeze weaving through the forest, where the elegant branches of tall trees swayed, and the lush green leaves rustled, as sunlight danced in bright circular patches among the abundant greenery

He nodded slightly, brushed past her, then paused, turned around and called out to her: "Hey, buy me a pack of cigarettes, and I'll take you home."

Great! Cai Manxin laughed heartily, "I want to ride a motorcycle for a one-day tour by the coast."

How many chords are there in total for the guitar

The tone is quite ordinary as well. Cai Manxin plucked a few more times, looking into the sound hole as if she had discovered a new continent, exclaiming, "Hey, it turns out this is made in Beijing." She shouted to Jiang Hai, who was repairing the fan in the room, "Hey, is this a token given to you by some girl?"

A Jun shook his wrist and said, "It really hurts, it's already numb. Beautiful lady, please help me massage it."

Just as a warm smile suddenly blossoms on his serious face while he is focused on strumming the guitar

Would you prefer a brief and brilliant romance, or should we first ask whether it has a future

I said ... ... "Cai Manxin shouted back, 'I AM KING OF THE WORLD! ~ ~ ~ ~'"

"It's impressive that you could think of that, I've been observing for a few months now." Jiang Hai picked up the tabby cat, and there was a scent of shrimp and crab on his lips. The cat caught the smell, twitched its tiny nose, and extended its tongue to lick his chin.

I need to ask the boss about this

Cai Manxin laughed heartily

Jiang Hai pushed her forehead away and said: "There are indeed many girls who like me. Next time, remember to bring more friends over, as I have grown tired of the single life."

May you spread your wings and soar high, free from constraints

( Chen Sheng -- "June" )

She sat cross-legged on the terrace of the Lu Family Inn, tilting her head to gaze at the shimmering sea, with the pen resting against her chin.

Ah, I really didn't expect that. Cai was very surprised, "So you run a seafood restaurant, no wonder you have a small speedboat. Can you go out to the deep sea to catch big fish?"

I grew up in the fields, and I have seen more animals than you. His tone was mocking again, but his expression softened.

She suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, an inexplicable joy swelling in her chest, making one unable to help but let out a long sigh of relief. He was handsome; even when he was not smiling, he was handsome, and when he smiled, he was even more charming. One does not mind his silent and cold demeanor; those are merely illusions that can be melted away. Perhaps in her heart, her impression of him has always been this warm, regardless of the expression he chooses to wear. On the very first day of her arrival, she followed A-Jun to Granny Lu's shop without hesitation, subconsciously, it was to see him, to see him again.

I study this because I truly enjoy it

A helmet was thrown into the river and sea, "Life and death are determined by heaven, I am not responsible"

Silence lingered for a while
