After returning to the hotel from Sailimu Lake, life seems to have returned to the world from a trance fairyland.Outside the window is the night that is getting darker and darker. The clear and cold sky reveals a little bit of starlight, sprinkled on the mottled and desolate land where the snow has not fully melted.

"Hiss—" Lin Anqiao took off the woolen sweater, feeling a sharp pain from the long-forgotten wound on his shoulder.

Yang Xi, who was sitting on the next bed changing clothes, heard this voice and frowned worriedly: "It still hurts?"

Lin Anqiao threw the woolen sweater to a corner of the bed as if she had made a mistake, and nodded—she didn't mean to make that sound on purpose, but it really hurt.She was afraid that Yang Xi would continue to worry.

Yang Xi sighed, changed the clothes on his body into indoor clothes, and silently took out the medicine box, which was dazzlingly white.She opened the medicine box, took out iodine and purple syrup, and sat gently on the edge of Lin Anqiao's bed.

"Unbutton the button." Yang Xi squeezed the cotton swab.

Lin Anqiao pouted, and obediently unbuttoned his shirt.She untied the bandages surrounding her chest and the gauze covering her shoulder wounds, revealing her devastated upper body.Looking at the red and swollen chest and the unhealed wound with a red face, Yang Xi's heart tugged as usual, feeling very uncomfortable.But Yang Xi didn't show it too much. She knew that, as a friend who walked beside Lin Anqiao, she would face unknown pain with her in the future.

"I'm very happy today." Lin Anqiao said with a suppressed smile, trying to pretend to be relaxed.

"Well, Sailimu Lake is really beautiful."

After that, there was another silence.Both Lin Anqiao and Yang Xi are not good at finding topics, and they are more introverted.

"I remember a song about Sailimu Lake," Lin Anqiao suddenly remembered vaguely, "What's 'her eyes are like the moonlight of Sailimu Lake'..."

The corners of Yang Xi's mouth curled up, and he smiled softly: "Yes, I've heard it too, it's very nice."

Lin Anqiao tilted her ears, as if she had already heard the melody: "Beautiful national style... I can't sing out of tune, can you sing? I really want to listen to it again."

"Isn't it on the music software?" Yang Xi hesitated.

"No, I can't find it either, it doesn't seem to have been released...but I did hear it."

Yang Xi was stunned, a little surprised: "That's weird, I didn't hear it on music software, indeed. But I don't remember where I heard it, and I heard it many times."

Lin Anqiao frowned thoughtfully.

"I want to hear you sing."

At this time, Yang Xi nodded briskly, cleared his throat and put down the cotton swab.

Yang Xi's clear and translucent singing echoed in the room like this. Although he lacked singing skills, there was a kind of singing that had nothing to do with singing skills.

When the moon climbed up the mountain, she came to me with wine

Her passionate eyes are as beautiful as the moonlight of Sailimu Lake

Come on beautiful girl, my heart has been taken away

I want to sing a song for you, that's my words

........

Lin Anqiao was intoxicated when he heard it, and unconsciously, his eyes moistened a little.She couldn't remember the last time she heard this song.But she felt a sense of ethereal tranquility in this melody, as if she was chasing her love wantonly under the moonlight.

This is the life she longed for so much.

After an unknown amount of time, the singing stopped abruptly. Yang Xi smiled slightly when she saw Lin Anqiao's serious expression.

"It's so nice, it's a pity that you don't want to be a singer." Lin Anqiao opened his mouth slightly and exclaimed.

"Everyone has his own destiny," Yang Xi looked at the ceiling with some regret, "Opportunities are not for everyone."

There was another wordless silence, as if a needle could be heard in the room.

"Does your wound hurt? I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Nalati Grassland tomorrow." Yang Xi suddenly thought of this question and asked with a frown.

Lin Anqiao paused, and said bravely, "It's okay, let's go."

"No, strenuous activity is not good for the wound, let's go back to Luoxi tomorrow." Seeing Lin Anqiao's not so good face, Yang Xi became more determined.

Lin Anqiao did feel very weak and in pain, but she didn't want to drag Yang Xi down: "Why don't you go with Zeerna, I'll rest at home."

"Can you do it alone?" Yang Xi was worried, his eyes full of suspicion.

"I'm not a child, I'm a year older than you." Lin Anqiao pouted and said dissatisfied.

Yang Xi was amused by Lin Anqiao's tantrum, her narrow shoulders could not help shaking slightly: "But you are still sick."

Lin Anqiao bent down like a deflated ball, looked at the snow-white bed sheet, and drew circles with her fingers empty, a little at a loss, which made Yang Xi feel so cute.

"Then, let's go back." Lin Anqiao pouted slightly, feeling a little regretful and uneasy.

At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly.Yang Xi immediately stepped forward and asked carefully, "Who?"

"Sister Yang, I'm Gerna." The familiar and charming female voice sounded outside the door.

Yang Xi immediately opened the door.I saw Gerna, who had changed into a fairy-like casual dress and soft sheepskin shoes, standing outside with her hands folded.This long skirt has a V-neck, and the chest is very low, and the turbulent gully can be seen vaguely.

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Xi felt his face was slightly hot.

"I just came to remind you that it's time to eat." Gerna said with a warm smile.

"Okay, thank you, let's go down right away." Yang Xi nodded politely.

"We'll go back to Luoxi tomorrow." During the meal, Yang Xi suddenly spoke.

Gerna stopped in mid-air with a fork sticking a small piece of medium-rare steak, raised her eyebrows lightly: "Why?"

"Vigorous activities are not good for Lin Anqiao's injury, I think it's better to go back earlier." Yang Xi answered truthfully.

Gerna frowned, her eyes became very distant, and she thought for a while.

"Aren't you going? You can let An Qiao rest in the hotel. After all, the Nalati Grassland is a particularly beautiful scenic spot. It would be a pity not to go."

Yang Xi shook his head firmly: "No need."

Gerna narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You are worried that no one will take care of him." After that, she blinked and looked at Lin Anqiao's reddish face.

Yang Xi didn't shy away from this, and nodded frankly.

Gerna sighed pretentiously, clicked her tongue twice and said with a smile: "You said it earlier, Sister Yang. How about it, Tana, do you still remember?"

Yang Xi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Gerna's gourd, so she nodded.

"She's filming a new movie "Flowers of the Snowfield" recently, and it just so happens that she has two days off near Yili these two days. I'll let her accompany you to play, and I'll stay in the hotel to help you take care of An Qiao, how about it?" Ger Na showed a charming and sly smile, and looked at Lin Anqiao with some deep meaning in her eyes with fluttering long eyelashes.

Lin Anqiao felt a little thumping in her heart, because she didn't want to be alone with Gerna—a woman who was as scary as this fox.But people can't be too selfish, they should let Yang Xi go to the grassland to play.After all, if you don't go now, you may not have a chance in the future.

"This is a good idea." Lin Anqiao decisively overcame the resistance in his heart and nodded in agreement.

After thinking about it seriously, Yang Xi was a little shaken, and still had some scruples: "Tana is busy, is it too much trouble for her?"

Gerna immediately replied: "She also likes the Nalati Grassland very much, which is just right."

Yang Xi finally completely relaxed his brows, and nodded in relief.

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Early the next morning, Yang Xi picked up his bag and went to the hall.Although the Spring Festival has passed, the temperature still dropped slightly, so Yang Xi wore the thickest down jacket.

Tana has already arrived at the lobby, waving at Yang Xi warmly and generously from a distance.

"Recover well." Yang Xi said this to Lin Anqiao when he left.

Lin Anqiao smiled and said, "You are the one who should have fun, don't miss me. Gerna is very careful, it's okay."

Yang Xi pursed her lips and smiled, then turned and ran towards Tana.Tana was wearing a well-fitting but thick loose sportswear, and like Yang Xi, she was carrying a bulging backpack.At this time, Tana wore a high ponytail, cute and cute, full of girlishness.

"Your outfit is so beautiful today." Yang Xi and Tana walked side by side to the off-road vehicle waiting outside the hotel, and praised sincerely.

"Thank you," Tana smiled shyly, "You too."

After that, in the car, the two of them were like friends reunited after a long absence. They always had endless topics to talk about, from campus life to the concept of love, which made the big brother who was driving couldn't help laughing.

"I really trouble you today, you are so busy." Yang Xi said apologetically.

"No trouble, I really like Nalati. Every time I go to Yili, my sister and I will go there." Tana waved her hand quickly.

"Yes, that must be beautiful."

"That's right, we'll see you soon."

"By the way, how is your relationship with your sister? She looks like a woman with a strong aura." Yang Xi asked this question half-jokingly when he thought of Gerna's fox-like appearance.Is Gerna's treatment of her family also so depressing?

Tana's eyes dimmed a little, and her voice became a little disappointed: "She is still very good to me, but her... aura is a bit overwhelming for me, and sometimes she is very fierce. And...she's always ignoring my feelings."

"Ignore your feelings?" Yang Xi frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Tana nodded aggrievedly: "For example, what happened last time. I didn't intend to be recruited to Lin Anqiao. It was my sister who insisted that I marry Lin Anqiao. I said that I don't like the situation of marriage. , but she doesn't seem to be listening to me."

Yang Xi nodded thoughtfully.

Tana looked at the gradually bright sunshine and the vast land outside the window, and continued: "My mother was also married to my father in Mongolia because of the interests of the clan. I don't think my mother is happy, although she is used to it. This kind of life in different regions. Therefore, I have made up my mind a long time ago that I must find someone I really love, and I must not settle for the so-called overall situation. What's more, the relationship between interest groups is not a simple marriage. It can be solved."

Yang Xi gave Tana a thumbs up lightly to show her praise.Golden sunlight inadvertently sprinkled into her pupils.

"You're right. Life is so cumbersome. Love is a very important process, and it should never be compromised or compromised."

It was as if she was speaking to herself.
