Self-investment

After the sixth day, those who should go to work, the taste of the new year is much weaker.

However, Luo Yimu's leave lasted until the Lantern Festival, so he still had a little time to spend with Jian Ling.

Not always at home, this year coincidentally, the first day of the new year is the beginning of spring, as soon as the beginning of spring is over, the peach blossoms in Jinling City Botanical Garden are in full bloom, Jian Ling enthusiastically took Luo Yimu to see the peach blossoms.

Before meeting Luo Yimu, Jian Ling was a person who couldn't stay at home. As long as she could go out, even sitting on the curb for a day was better than lying down like a salted fish at home. A few days after Mu, Jian Ling was unfortunately injured and unable to go out, so she gradually developed the habit of squatting at home.

The botanical garden is in the outer suburbs, and it takes about two hours to drive. After leaving the city, the road becomes wider and the vehicles are scarce. Jian Ling saw Luo Yimu holding the steering wheel, turning left and right, and the steering wheel was moving smoothly. I also want to try the car of Luo Yimu.

Jian Ling has had a driver's license for more than seven years, and has no car. The last time he drove was a road test, and he has never touched a car since then.Today is just a chance to let her enjoy driving.

"Did you bring your driver's license?" Luo Yimu confirmed with her.

Jian Ling took out the driver's license from his pocket and shook it, "Did you underestimate me? Although I don't have a car, I always carry this little book with me. It's called being prepared."

Luo Yimu looked back and forth, there was no passing car, and the road was flat and wide, suitable for novices who just started driving, so he agreed to Jian Ling's request, pulled over the car, and changed seats with her , take the co-pilot by yourself.

Jian Ling was very excited when she first got into the driver's seat, but after putting on her seat belt and turning the car on, she was a little at a loss. She looked down at her feet, there were two pedals, and she didn't even know which one to step on.

"Uh...and then?" Jian Ling held the steering wheel and looked at Luo Yimu with a dry smile.

"Release the handbrake, put it in gear, and step on the accelerator." Luo Yimu reminded her, "Press gently."

"What's a handbrake?"

"On your right, this." Luo Yimu pointed to her.

Jian Ling pressed down on the pole twice, but couldn't go down.

"Thumb down on the button on the front and down at the same time."

Jian Ling tried it again according to what Luo Yimu said, and sure enough, she let it go this time.

"How do I shift gears?" She asked again sheepishly.

"This." Luo Yimu grabbed Jian Ling's hand and put it on the gear lever, "Press it down, and shift it to D." She covered Jian Ling's hand, pulled the gear lever to D position, and said, "Slow down." Step on the accelerator slowly."

The little hand of the beloved was wrapped around the back of her hand, Jian Ling could not hear Luo Yimu's words, so she shifted the gear to P again, then turned her palm up, pinched Luo Yimu's fingers, and caressed them ambiguously. belly.

It made Luo Yimu's heart itch.

"Be careful and concentrate." She made a serious face on purpose.

Jian Ling grabbed her wrist and pulled her straight to his side, kissed her lightly, licked her lips, and smiled alluringly, "Coach, I'm so stupid, I can't learn no matter what, why don't you How about a little cooking for me tonight and some more practice?" She said meaningfully, "I won't let your hard work be in vain."

Luo Yimu knocked her on the head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "How many unsuitable movies have you seen?" Otherwise, why are there so many pretend games in his head?

Jian Ling caught the loophole in her words and smiled slyly, "Mumu, how many times have you been peeking behind my back? Otherwise, how would you know that this is the plot of a small movie?"

Luo Yimu coughed a few times, his eyes wandering.

Jian Ling raised the corners of his mouth, took the opportunity to unbuckle his seat belt, and pressed his chin on Luo Yimu's shoulder, "What's the point of watching it alone? Don't you feel uncomfortable when no one is practicing? Next time there is a good movie, call me, let's watch it together .”

"You can also imitate the plot of the movie by the way..."

"Let's talk about it." Luo Yimu's face was burned by her words, he agreed indiscriminately, and said seriously: "Concentrate on driving."

Jian Ling laughed even harder, and said proudly: "Don't worry, I've always been meticulous when driving, and I have no other distractions."

How could Luo Yimu fail to hear the other meaning in the words.

Luo Yimu raised the corners of his mouth, thinking that she might not have the energy to think about anything else.

"Step on the gas pedal." Luo Yimu said it again, ignoring her words.

Jian Ling put on his seat belt again, looked at the two pedals beside his feet, hesitated for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Is the accelerator... the left or the right?"

I completely lost the confidence I had just now.

Luo Yimu lost his temper immediately, and laughed, and joked, "How did you get your driver's license?"

"I haven't touched a car since I got my driver's license. I forgot." Jane explained embarrassingly.

"The accelerator is on the right and the brake is on the left. You should depress the accelerator a little to feel it." Luo Yimu said patiently.

Following Luo Yimu's instructions, Jian Ling finally drove the car, sweating profusely, seeing the scenery that was slowly receding, excitedly clenched the steering wheel, and the result was a skid, the car tilted towards the middle of the road, Luo Yimu quickly turned the steering wheel and turned the front of the car back. Fortunately, Jian Ling stepped on the accelerator lightly, and the speed of the car was less than 20 yards.

"Don't hold it so tightly, loosen it a bit, look ahead, walk in a straight line, and don't turn the steering wheel randomly." Luo Yimu said.

This road is straight and straight, without turning. Jian Ling gradually got used to it, and his courage grew. When he stepped on the accelerator to 50 yards, his heart seemed to fly.

Luo Yimu paid attention to the front, rear and rear road conditions for her. He didn't dare to be careless. Seeing the excited expression on Jian Ling's face, his eyes were shining, and he smiled, "You like cars so much, why haven't you bought them?"

"Where can I afford a car, Mumu, you think too highly of me." Not satisfied with the speed of 50 yards, Jian Ling increased the speed a little bit, and the pointer of the speed dial once reached 70.

"Put on the brakes, don't exceed 50." Luo Yimu warned her.

Seeing the speed of the car slow down, she asked again: "Your Internet cafe is not small for a year, isn't it? You can't afford a mid-range car?"

Jian Ling said, "It's not like you don't know me well. I'm the one who can save money if I earn a couple dollars."

What Jian Ling said was honest, she was a real earner. Anyway, at the end of the month, no matter how much money was left on the card, she had to spend it all. The Internet cafe had been open for so many years, and there was no money left.

She doesn't want to spare money, but Hao Xinyi's virtue, knowing that Jian Ling is rich, has long been crying and arguing at the entrance of the Internet cafe. Jian Ling is too lazy to make trouble. It's better to spend it all on yourself. Although he has no savings, he is living a good life anyway. Traveling within the country, traveling abroad, rock climbing, skiing, rafting and surfing, Jian Ling is a person who pursues excitement. Over the years, he has traveled all over the country and neighboring countries.

She didn't say the reason for this, but Luo Yimu could guess it, so he didn't continue to ask, and only let Jian Ling concentrate on driving.

Drive straight down this road, and at the end of the road is the botanical garden.

When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, even if it is already a working day, there are many people who come to enjoy the flowers. The traffic control prevents cars from entering, and they can only park at designated places.The cars at the entrance of the parking lot were lined up and dawdling in. This kind of driving environment is very unfriendly to novices. Jian Ling consciously got out of the car and asked Luo Yimu to drive the car into the open-air parking lot and find a parking space to stop.

The botanical garden is surrounded by mountains and rivers, covering an area of ​​more than 500 hectares. After entering the park, you have to take a special sightseeing car to go to each branch garden. Jian Ling and Luo Yimu got off the car in Taoyuan. The car has not stopped yet. Jian Ling looked out the window , was shocked.

In the endless peach blossom forest, the flowers are blooming in full bloom. The depths and shades of pink have a strong sense of layering, and the waves are magnificent. As soon as I got out of the car, the rich fragrance of flowers came to me like waves. Jian Ling took half a step back, and Luo Yimu Hold on.

Entering the peach forest, it feels more like being in a fairyland. The peach trees in this forest are quite old, and the branches are gnarled, but the small branches that extend out are very thin, short and overwhelmed by the flourishing branches. The nose is full of fragrance, when people walk, if they are not careful, the peach blossoms on the branches will rub their face mischievously, itching, Jian Ling was rubbed, and giggled.

The weather is not so cold after the beginning of spring, and today the sun is warm again. Jian Ling is wearing a white shirt with a beige wool cardigan and a pair of pure white pencil pants. The waist is three points more graceful and delicate than the newly-haired peach branches, the pair of long legs are thin and straight, and the long body is tall and tall, lined by this white dress, it is indescribably elegant and beautiful, even the short purple-gray hair matches The garden full of beautiful fans complement each other, not like ordinary people, but like a clever peach blossom demon, who finally attained the Tao on this day and cultivated into a human form.

She leaned forward and leaned closer to the branch to smell the fragrance of peach blossoms. Her small nose touched the petals lightly, and her fair cheeks were stained pink. She was pleasantly surprised by the scent of a petal. She turned her head to look at Luo Yimu, thinking Let her come together, before he could speak, Luo Yimu had already pressed the shutter that had been prepared, freezing Jian Ling's smile like a flower on the film.

The peach blossoms on the human face are red, which is probably what they said.

"Amu, this flower has 6 petals! Come and have a look!" Jian Ling waved to her, eager to share the surprise she found.

Luo Yimu walked over quickly with the camera in hand, and naturally touched Jian Ling's head, following her gaze, "Where is it?"

"Here." Jian Ling pointed to her, and it really was a six-petaled flower.

Surrounded by a group of five-petal flowers, you can't find it if you don't pay attention, but when you look carefully, you feel out of place.

"Everyone has five petals, only her has six petals. I wonder if she will be lonely?" Jian Ling stared at the peach blossom for a while, then sighed sadly, "I wonder if these five-petal flowers will I will not exclude her behind my back."

"No, I think she must be very happy." Luo Yimu tapped the flower that bloomed next to the six-petaled flower, and said, "Look, there is a little flower that has always been with her, sprouting together , bloom together, and wither together.”

"So she's never alone."

Upon closer inspection, the little flower turned out to have six petals.

The two aliens among thousands of ordinary peach blossoms are so lucky to find each other, so they will never be alone again.

Jian Ling smiled in relief, and kissed Luo Yimu's cheek, "Mumu is right, they depend on each other, how can they be lonely."

It was already noon when we came out of the peach blossom forest. Next to the peach forest is the famous Xianhu Temple. Every year on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many people get up at three or four o'clock in the morning to burn incense and ring the bell at Xianhu Temple. Wishes for the year, and prayers for the coming year.

Xianhu Temple also receives tourists, Jian Ling didn't see enough peach blossoms, and was reluctant to leave, so Luo Yimu took her to burn a stick of incense, donated money to the merit box, and ate vegetarian food in the temple.

A young monk took them to the west wing for dinner. There were antique sliding doors. The furniture in the room was all made of bamboo and wood. There was a low table with meals on it. There were no stools. They took off their shoes and sat on the floor.

Outside the door is a small courtyard. Two towering ancient trees cover the sun, making the courtyard a bit deep. The light leaks through the gaps between the trees, forming sporadic patterns on the stone floor. People's hearts also quiet down together, and time becomes very slow.

Jian Ling stood at the door, stretched his waist towards the yard, and laughed, "I didn't expect Jinling to have such a good place."

Luo Yimu sat on the short side and called her in for dinner.

The vegetarian dishes prepared for pilgrims are different from those eaten by monks in the temple. There are vegetarian chickens made of dried tofu and lifelike carved vegetarian fish. Another dish of braised tofu and fried small rapeseed are also oily. It is slippery and has a strong fragrance, and there is no hard work in cultivation.

Jian Ling took the bowl of rice that Luo Yimu served her, saw the dishes on the table, and chuckled disdainfully: "Fish made of tofu, does it count as breaking the vow or not?"

"Is there a difference?" Luo Yimu put a piece of vegetarian chicken in her bowl and asked back.

Jian Ling took two mouthfuls of rice, touched her words, and laughed, "Mumu, you still have a higher realm."

Luo Yimu looked at the briefing in puzzlement.

Jian Ling put down his chopsticks, shook his head and explained the Zen scriptures to Luo Yimu, "The Buddha said that the four elements are all empty, so is tofu, and fish is also empty. As the saying goes, there is nothing in the first place, where is the dust..."

Her head turned like a pendulum, and before she could finish speaking, Luo Yimu reached out, licked the rice sticking to her mouth, put it in his own mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Delicate aftertaste.

She swallowed the rice and looked at Jian Ling meaningfully.

Jian Ling blushed for a second, turned her face away, coughed twice, and warned her: "Buddhism is pure, put away your messy thoughts."

Luo Yimu smirked and lowered his head to eat.

After eating a few mouthfuls, only a rustle was heard, Jian Ling rubbed her butt, from the other side of the low table, forced her way to Luo Yimu's side, and ate a mouthful of rice with her chopsticks.

"Buddhism is pure, put away your wild thoughts." Luo Yimu held back a smile and teased her with her own words.

"The four elements are all empty..." Jian Ling tilted his head, holding Luo Yimu's earlobe, "Of course the color is also empty..."

The short hair brushed Luo Yimu's neck, and the slight itchiness penetrated into the crevices of the bones.

Unbearable and tormented.
