Zhang Qiling gently embraced Nan Xing's body that was about to fall to the ground after falling asleep, and fixed her in his arms.

What she said just now played back in her mind, as well as the hopelessness in her eyes after she smiled wryly.

After years of companionship, he knew that she was dependent on him and had deep feelings for him, but before, she herself hadn't clearly distinguished what kind of emotional bond she had with him.

It wasn't until the matter of the South China Sea King's Tomb and Leicheng that her feelings became clear, but she had never expressed them clearly like today, and even during these times of companionship, she tried her best to hide this feeling .

If she hadn't been drunk today, she might never have said these words.

And is his own feelings for her equal to hers?Just like he can't refuse her closeness, can't let go of his concern for her, and can't quit her company, in front of her, can he still maintain his attitude of doing whatever he wants?

He began to ponder these questions by himself, and also began to recall when he had these subtle feelings for her.

Maybe it was just now, maybe it was the underground space outside Shouting Spring, or maybe it was the long-lost reunion outside the bronze gate.

Or, maybe, earlier.

He couldn't sort out the source of this feeling from this chaotic memory. Perhaps, love was just the final state of throbbing accumulated over and over again.

But at present, he can't respond to her heart. Once some words are spoken, they can never go back.

For a long time, missions and responsibilities have almost constituted his entire life. Now, Nanxing is also something that he must consider in his life.For him and her to cross this boundary, there are many things that need to be taken into account, and he needs to think clearly about the future of the two of them.

A slight movement at the door interrupted Zhang Qiling's contemplation, and when he turned his head, he saw the black blind man's figure flashing at the door and then backed out.

"Dumb, why don't you close the door when you're doing business?"

Zhang Qiling ignored the blind man, picked up Nan Xing and walked out.

As soon as the blind man outside the door saw him, he immediately raised his hands and said solemnly: "I promise, I didn't see anything just now. I didn't see anything because you blocked it."

Zhang Qiling ignored him, and went straight back to her room with Nan Xing in his arms.

When Nan Xing woke up the next morning, he felt a splitting headache and dry mouth for a while. He got up to look for water to drink, but found that the water glass was gone.

"Use this first." A glass of water was handed to Nan Xing, and when she saw the hand holding the water glass, she knew it was Zhang Qiling.

"Thank you," Nan Xing took the water glass, took a few sips, relieved the thirst in his throat, and then asked casually, "Brother, how do you know I'm looking for my water glass?"

"You broke your glass last night." Zhang Qiling pointed to the trash can.

Nan Xing looked at the shattered water glass in the trash can, and couldn't remember how she broke the glass at all.

"I seem to be drunk." Nan Xing rubbed his temples, "I can't remember how I got into bed last night."

"Anyway, you don't have a good memory, and you should be used to this kind of situation." The fat man came to the living room with breakfast, and after hearing what Nan Xing said, he said casually, "There is walnut milk for breakfast today, just so you can replenish your brain. "

"I really thank you for being so considerate of our brains. The boxes of melatonin you bought last time are piled up in the corner and are about to expire." Nan Xing sat down at the dining table.

"You don't accept that strong medicine, why don't you think of some food supplements?" The fat man said and put the breakfast on the dining table.

Fatty has always been in charge of cooking among the four of them, and he is quite familiar with their eating habits.

The bowl of red oil in front of Nan Xing was made to an almost insanely spicy level according to her liking, and she got carried away eating it, but the rhythm was always disturbed by the hair hanging down, she had to stop and put her hair back from time to time.

The fat man couldn't stand it anymore: "Shouldn't your hair be cut?"

"Looks like it's time to cut it."

"I have a discount card here, and it's only valid for one day. It just so happens that we celebrate New Year's Eve tonight, so you can change it up." The fat man took out a card and put it in front of Nan Xing.

Actually, it's only September, but this time Xiaohua and Heixiazi are here, and Xiuxiu is also here, so it's rare to get everyone together, so I thought about eating the New Year's Eve dinner in advance, so they won't get together again on New Year's Eve.

Nan Xing glanced at the card that the fat man handed over, it was the one he often went to, and he had helped the proprietress solve both big and small troubles many times before.

Nan Xing took a meaningful look at the fat man, and accepted the discount card.

After breakfast, he took a rest and the barber shop opened at ten o'clock. The fat man dragged Nan Xing to the door of the barber shop early.

The proprietress personally received them and offered to cut Nan Xing's hair herself.

Nan Xing sat in front of the mirror, and saw the landlady smiling at her, as if she wanted to say something.

Nan Xing then asked: "Miss Boss, do you have something to ask me?"

The proprietress smiled a little embarrassedly, and asked, "I have a question I've always wanted to ask you, but it might be a bit abrupt."

"It's okay, you say."

"Girl, you are so beautiful, do you have someone you like?" asked the proprietress.

"Does the proprietress want to introduce someone to me? I'm interested, but he probably doesn't have any interest in me." Nan Xing smiled and replied.

"Why? Is it too far away?" The proprietress asked again.

"That's not true, we live together."

"That shouldn't be, is there too much age difference? How old is he and you?" The proprietress looked puzzled.

"He is more than ten years older than my mother." Nan Xing thought for a while and replied.

"That girl, you are a year-end lover! There is a saying that I don't know if I should say it or not. This man is too old, and I don't know if the old wine will work. You say you are so young..."

"He has no problem with this..." Nan Xing quickly interrupted the proprietress.

"Have you tried it?" The proprietress couldn't hide her surprise.

"...Miss Boss, why don't we change the subject..."

……

After I cut my hair, I came back and started working on the dinner party.

Fatty is still in charge, but he has not spared Nan Xing this year, and has to let her share the workload as the sous chef.

Nan Xing won a lot of materials in this free-drinking competition, which was enough for their evening dinner.

The tricks that should be on New Year's Eve have not been left this time, and the Spring Festival Gala on TV is probably missing.

The dining table was moved to the yard, where there was eating, drinking and fireworks.

Fatty felt that the atmosphere was not exciting enough, so he asked for a barbecue. Nan Xing raised his hand to indicate that there were no barbecue tools at home.

"That's easy, I can build one now." The fat man emptied the stone tank for raising fish in the yard, put the fish in buckets, spread charcoal fire in the stone tank, put iron nets on it, and made a barbecue grill. alright.

The fat man turned on the stereo, and old disco-like music was played in the yard. The fat man shook his body fat while grilling, resembling a middle-aged uncle with barbecue skewers on the roadside.

If Nan Xing remembers correctly, this stone jar is an antique stone jar that Wu Xie moved from his store in Hangzhou, and Wu Xie has always cared for it like a treasure.

When he came back from the bathroom later, he saw his beloved antique stone jar turned into a barbecue grill, and he was bound to have a bloodbath with Fatty.

In order to avoid being affected by Chi Yu, Nan Xing hid far away with Hei Xiazi and Xiao Hua.

In contrast, the atmosphere here is very elegant, Heixiazi slapped Xiaohua's accompaniment, and Xiaohua started to skewer with water, and Xiuxiu was very happy listening to it.

Zhang Qiling quit the group chat after eating a little. He ignored Wu Xie and Fatty's dire straits, and he didn't take part in the Yangchun Baixue on Heixiazi Xiaohua's side. He looked at the starry sky alone in the yard, as if he was thinking about something .

Nan Xing's laughter came to his ears from time to time, and occasionally, he would turn his eyes slightly to see the movement over there.

Nan Xing was in a very good mood, and the hopelessness and disappointment when he confessed his heart the night before was completely gone.

After that chaotic night, Zhang Qiling began to think carefully about the future of the two of them, but Nan Xing had completely forgotten what he had said and done last night, and he had new joys all day long, as if Nothing happened last night.

After the commotion reached the middle of the night, everyone was a little restless, probably everyone was already middle-aged and elderly.As soon as Wu Xie took out the cigarette, Nan Xing slapped it off, saying that he managed to save his lungs, and there was no way to mend them if they were smoked.

In the end, those who couldn't bear it went to wash and rest first, and the few who could bear it stayed silently browsing Moments. The light from the mobile phone shone on their faces, cold, but very peaceful.

The next afternoon, Heixiazi Xiaohua and Xiuxiu left, and Nan Xing and the others sent them to the town.

Time flies, and after the four of them lived peacefully in the pastoral life for a few days, this afternoon, Fatty came back from the town, happily handed the three of them a poster, and said with joy, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Several towns around the Mid-Autumn Festival jointly organized a very grand Mid-Autumn Festival event. The venue was in their town, and it was very convenient to drive there on the same day.

Nan Xing was very interested, and kept asking what activities there were, and the fat man introduced them to her. There were lantern festivals, river lanterns, Kongming lanterns, moon god worship, and tile-burning towers, and this time there will be bonfires General Assembly.

Wu Xie didn't seem to be interested, so he ignored them and hid aside to drink tea alone.Zhang Qiling was even less interested, and sat silently at the door, watching the rain curtain pouring down from the eaves.

Fatty and Nan Xing knew very well that taking care of Zhang Qiling was equivalent to taking care of everyone, so they took a few bottles of iced juice, came to Zhang Qiling's side, and sat down beside him.The fat man handed a bottle to Zhang Qiling, intending to bribe him first, Zhang Qiling shook his head, the fat man was unlucky.

After the three of them sat there for a long while, the fat man turned his head and looked at Zhang Qiling: "Brother, I have something to discuss with you. Everyone in the village will go to this Mid-Autumn Festival event. And there will be incentive activities this year. Whoever takes Vata The most popular and the highest, and keep the tower calm, is the champion. With our strength, there must be no problem. The reason why I want to show my face is mainly to gain popularity for the election of the female director next year. You I know that the village attaches great importance to burning tile towers."

"You really want to make a career wherever you go. We live in seclusion, do you understand?" Wu Xie said angrily.

The fat man was also on fire in his heart, and exploded immediately: "Reclusive, you live in seclusion and quarrel with the neighbors every day. The whole village regards us as Japanese and enters the village. I can't wait to fight with us. If the quarrel continues, we will definitely be on the news network. At that time, I told you that people would definitely regard us as fugitives, so we must be down-to-earth, establish good relations, and integrate into local life."

Wu Xie took a deep breath, wanted to refute but couldn't find the words for a while.The fat man continued: "So, let me, a friend of women, make a good start."

"Friends of women, have you forgotten that our family has a public enemy of women?" Wu Xie nuzui pointed to the guide star.

Ever since Nan Xing came to Yu Village, she was inexplicably disliked by the women in the village, especially the aunt next door.The aunt next door is doing business in Wuyishan, and her husband is from the finance bureau of the town, and is considered a family member of an official of the government, so he will oppose Nan Xing when he sees the opportunity.Fatty and Wu Xie said that Nan Xing's arrival probably stole her limelight.

"Come on, you are a friend of women, and I am an enemy of women. Let's make a toast to the close relationship between us and women." Nan Xing stretched out his juice and smiled at the fat man.

"Nan Xing, you should also say a few words. I say that a good word of mouth is not as good as your golden words." The fat man touched Nan Xing with the bottle.

So Nan Xing put the juice aside, looked up at Zhang Qiling, his eyes were full of autumn water, and his face was full of sincerity, and said: "Brother, the four of us have been born and died together for many years, we have seen the wonders of the world together, we are together Singing on the cliffs, chanting scriptures in the snow-capped mountains, drinking wine in the Gobi, watching the moon on the sea, but, but...we did not set fire to the pagoda during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so if you can show mercy, let us accompany you Let's experience it once..." Nan Xing said, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was about to fall.

Wu Xie gasped when she saw it, and her goosebumps fell all over the ground. What kind of routine is Nan Xing doing? !Are you acting like a spoiled child to Poker?No way, you will be blind!

After Zhang Qiling listened, he didn't directly reject Fatty like he did just now, but just looked at her with a half-smile.

After a long time, he nodded.

Wu Xie was dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief, this, this... Is this a promise? !

The fat man came over and smiled at Wu Xie: "Naive, you just follow us, otherwise you will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone in an empty room the next day."

Wu Xie had no choice but to agree.
