Indissoluble bond

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival that falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year.This year's Dragon Boat Festival happens to be at the beginning of June in the Gregorian calendar.

The school also has a holiday because of the coming of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Zhou Jiang's tutoring also came to an end temporarily.

When Lu Liang was free for a while, Zhou Yuan suggested, "How about we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival according to the custom?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yuan smiled mysteriously: "Go out first."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Liang almost guessed his purpose, but he didn't say it to hurt Zhou Yuan's self-confidence.

"Okay," the thought only flashed in his mind, and he smiled gently, "I'll go change my clothes first."

He is currently wearing a white shirt and black trousers, which look very good on him, as clear and meaningful as the moonlight, and when he smiles, it is like a beautiful and timeless painting.

After Zhou Yuan looked at it, he also felt that his current clothes were inconvenient, so he agreed: "Well, hurry up then."

Because it has now entered June, the weather has become hotter, the sun is high, and the sky is clear.

People have also changed the long-sleeved shirts they wore in the past few months.

The same is true for Zhou Yuan. He wears a pure white short-sleeved T-shirt paired with a pair of light blue jeans. He rolls those short sleeves over his shoulders, revealing his strong arms, refreshing and cheerful.

Lu Liang quickly changed into a suit of clothes. He was wearing a black short-sleeved pair and silver-gray sweatpants underneath. It was simple and capable, but he conveyed a high-end feeling.

After changing their clothes, the two went out together, and met Zhou's mother who came back from shopping downstairs.

"Where are you two going?"

Zhou Yuan bared his teeth and smiled: "Go out and play, mom, don't ask so many questions."

"Go out and play..." Zhou's mother looked at the two of them from top to bottom, and suddenly showed a clear expression, "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, I'm going to Ningjiang to watch the dragon boat race."

Zhou Yuan was startled, and blurted out: "How do you know?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt inappropriate.He realized that he wanted to hide it from Lu Liang, but now he slipped his mouth.

But judging from Lu Liang's lack of response, he probably already knew it.

Thinking of this, he felt hit.

What I thought was a secret was easily guessed by two people in a row. Is it because of his way of speaking?

Ugh!

After less than five seconds of being depressed, he cheered up again.It's okay to know, he still followed.

Mother Zhou covered her mouth with a smile and said, "It's not easy? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, what else can you two do when you go out to play? Watch a movie?"

Zhou Yuan touched the back of his head: "It's really so obvious!"

"Okay, you guys hurry up, I heard that the competition is about to start, and it will take half an hour's drive from here to Ningjiang." Mother Zhou urged.

Zhou Yuan pulled Lu Liang over, put his arms around his shoulders, and replied, "OK, OK, let's go right away."

He just walked forward with his arms around Lu Liang's shoulders.

After walking for a while, Zhou's mother turned around again and said loudly: "You guys come back early at noon, and we will make zongzi ourselves."

"Hey!" Zhou Yuan waved his hand back as a response.

Half an hour later, they came to the Ningjiang River.The riverside was full of spectators, and the spectators were like a cloud, making a lot of noise.As soon as they arrived, Lu Liang frowned immediately.

"Let's go." Zhou Yuan didn't pay attention to his emotional changes, he just pulled him and was about to squeeze into the crowd, but Lu Liang broke away from his hand.He didn't care either, thinking that he was going to follow him.

It took a lot of effort to squeeze Zhou Yuan to the front, but he also suffered a lot of abuse along the way.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when he looked back, he was stunned——

Lu Liang is gone.

He looked around, but there were heads surging in the sea of ​​people beyond his sight, and he couldn't tell who was who, which also blocked his vision.

The mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated a few times, and he quickly took it out to see that it was Lu Liang: "Where are you?"

"Look at the bridge." Lu Liang's answer was very concise.

Zhou Yuan obediently looked up at the stone bridge not far away.

The bridge connected the two banks of the Ningjiang River. It was not very high, and both sides of the bridge were crowded with people, but Lu Liang was like a luminous body in the crowd, and he could still see him standing on the side at a glance.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "next time, don't run around."

"Well," Lu Liang said softly, "Don't look, the game has begun."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.Zhou Yuan looked at the darkened screen, feeling extremely depressed.

But soon, shouts on the surface of the river caught his attention.He remembered his purpose here.

Concentrate on watching the game.

I saw a few dragon boats paddling in the distance, paddling their oars with their hands, and huge water splashed on both sides of the river.The hands shouted loudly to encourage themselves, and the audience by the river was also excited, shouting for cheer one by one.

One dragon boat was so fast that it left the other dragon boats behind.

And Zhou Yuan also saw the true face of Long Zhou.

The dragon boat is long and narrow, about 18 meters long and 1.1 meters wide.The head of the boat is decorated with a dragon head, the stern is decorated with a dragon tail, and the dragon head is red.The dragon head and tail are carved from wood and painted, and the dragon tail is carved with scales.There are also gongs and drums, red pennants and flags on the dragon boat.

There were 32 people on the boat, most of whom were shirtless and wearing life jackets, and one person was sitting on the bow beating a drum.

Their movements were fast and their strength was great. A single stroke slipped away like a sharp arrow flying out.

The following dragon boats were all about the same length and width, but the dragon heads were in red, black, gray and other colors, and their postures were different.Some dragon boats also have hull paintings, which make people dazzled.

After a game, Zhou Yuan was amazed again and again, and when he saw the highlights, he would cheer and shout along with the others.

This race was full of wit and wit, and the dragon boat that won the first place in the end was not the fastest dragon boat at the beginning, but was caught up by another dragon boat.

Zhou Yuan watched with satisfaction.

After the game, it seemed that there was another game, but he didn't stay to watch, but went to find Lu Liang on the bridge.

He went to the bridge to look, but found that Lu Liang was no longer standing in the original place.

He was distressed, thinking about where Lu Liang would be, while looking around.

Finally, on the riverside under the bridge, in a shadowy place, he saw Lu Liang, but he was not the only one.

There was another person he wanted to see from time to time——Qiu Moming.

Lu Liang was leaning on the bridge pier, with his back to Zhou Yuan, and Qiu Moming was standing opposite him, the two stared at each other silently, as if they were making eye contact.Behind him stood two tall bodyguards, dressed in black suits, with serious expressions.

It's a pity that the mud on the leather shoes and trousers ruined their powerful momentum.

Zhou Yuan walked over quickly, interrupting their staring: "I've been looking for you for a long time."

Lu Liang turned his head: "Sorry."

"..." It would be difficult for him to answer the conversation!

He waved his hand: "It's all right, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing," Lu Liang said evasively, "I'm talking about the dragon boat race just now."

Qiu Moming smiled and narrowed his eyes, without retorting: "Yes, the match just now was very exciting."

Zhou Yuan seemed to have just seen him, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The smile at the corner of Qiu Moming's mouth froze, knowing that he did it on purpose, but he was still upset: "I'm on vacation, come and see Lu Liang." Since I'm upset, I want to make you unhappy too!

As he expected, after hearing his answer, Zhou Yuan was not very happy, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Don't you have any other friends?"

"New friends, you always need to get along with each other more, unlike old friends, just greet you when you remember." He said insinuatingly.

Zhou Yuan could hear the sarcasm in his words, and there was anger in his heart. He stared at him, but said to Lu Liang: "Let's go back, don't stay here, there are always some people who spoil the mood."

"Hey... wait!" Qiu Moming called out to stop them.

Lu Liang looked at him and didn't speak.

Qiu Moming rolled his eyes: "Why don't we go rowing dragon boats too?"

Lu Liang frowned slightly, not knowing what he was going to do, but thinking that he was his important partner, he still agreed.

"can."

Zhou Yuan resented, looked at Lu Liang and then at Qiu Moming, a proud and provocative expression appeared on Qiu Moming's face.

Zhou Yuan glared at him fiercely, trying to stop Lu Liang: "Don't go!"

"Why?" Lu Liang was puzzled.

"This..." Zhou Yuan couldn't think of any excuse for a while, so he said, "Didn't my mother tell us to go back early?"

Lu Liang glanced at the phone: "It's still early."

He was speechless.

Qiu Mo hummed: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go, I can just go with Lu Liang."

Of course Zhou Yuan couldn't let the two of them get along, he didn't know why, he just instinctively wanted to separate the two.

Qiu Moming glanced at him lightly, then turned around and led the way.Lu Liang followed, Zhou Yuan was not to be outdone, and separated the two vigilantly.

Qiu Moming didn't care, and said casually: "The plan is going smoothly."

Lu Liang nodded.

Zhou Yuan was confused: "What plan?"

Qiu Moming chuckled lightly: "Guess~"

Lu Liang pursed his lips and remained silent.

Zhou Yuan felt that he had been hurt ten thousand points, and looked at Lu Liang aggrieved.

The corners of Lu Liang's eyes twitched, wondering: "It's not something important."

"Then why can't you say it?" Zhou Yuan climbed along the pole.

Lu Liang sighed softly: "If you really want to know, I'll go back and tell you."

Zhou Yuan was satisfied when he got well.

In addition to the dragon boats used for competitions, there are two free dragon boats on the riverside for tourists to experience. Now the two dragon boats are full of people.

Qiu Moming summoned a bodyguard and whispered a few words into his ear.The bodyguard went to the person in charge of the dragon boat and whispered a few words, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.Not long after, three positions became vacant.

For this reason, Zhou Yuan looked at Qiu Moming many times, feeling in his heart: This corrupt capitalist!

Afterwards... he followed the dragon boat with peace of mind.

Put on your life jacket, and it didn't take long before it started.

Because they are all experiencers and have not cooperated beforehand, the movements are very chaotic, and the dragon boat just spins around in place.

But they are not for the competition, they all have fun on their own.

About 15 minutes after it was over, they stopped and wanted to change a wave of people to experience.

They had had enough, so they didn't stay any longer.Qiu Moming's original goal was just to scare Zhou Yuan off, and since that has been achieved, it doesn't matter whether he plays or not.As for Lu Liang, it was just to cooperate with Qiu Moming from the beginning.

The three of them got off the dragon boat, did not talk much, and parted soon.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Yuan was not in a hurry to go home, but took Lu Liang to a roadside stall, selling some special items for the Dragon Boat Festival.

There are calamus and mugwort leaves on the surface of a small stall, and a few packets of realgar powder beside it.Another small stall usually sells wall calendars, calendars and other things, but today there are more portraits of Zhong Kui and evil spirit talismans.

There are also multicolored silk on the stalls.

There are also those who sell Cangzhu and Angelica dahurica.

There are various customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou Yuan does not intend to experience them all.

He said: "Let's buy some calamus and mugwort leaves, and then buy a portrait of Zhong Kui to put on the door."

Lu Liang had no objection.

He went to a stall and bought a handful of calamus and mugwort leaves, and then went to another stall to buy a statue of Zhang Zhongkui.

He had already bought it and planned to leave, but Lu Liang suddenly gave him something.

"Put it on."

It is colorful thread.

Zhou Yuan: "..."

"Isn't this something worn by children and girls?" He pouted.

"No?" Lu Liang stretched out his hand to take it back without explaining.

But he dodged sideways, and said in his mouth: "I didn't say, it's mine if you give it to me, how can you take it back?"

Lu Liang raised his eyebrows: "As long as you like it."

Zhou Yuan untied the knot.

"In this case, then you pay the money." Leaving this sentence behind, Lu Liang turned around and left.

Zhou Yuan froze for a moment, stopped the movement of his hands, and turned his head to look to one side.The owner of a stall next to him was looking at him eagerly, as if he was afraid that he would leave without paying.

As Lu Liang walked, the corner of his mouth raised a shallow arc.

Zhou Yuan paid the money and chased after him a few steps: "Why are you doing this!"

"What kind?" Lu Liang asked back pretending to be puzzled.

Zhou Yuan snorted angrily, but didn't criticize again.

He put multicolored silk on his wrist.The silk threads of red, yellow, blue, green and purple are intertwined, without other embellishments, simple and inconspicuous, but it seems to be entangled in his heart, densely engulfing his heart.

Let his heart tighten for a while.

He thought he must be sick.

Back at Zhou's house, Zhou's mother saw him holding a handful of calamus and mugwort leaves, and asked in surprise, "Why did you buy this thing?"

"Dragon Boat Festival, it's a custom." He argued.

Zhou's mother took the things in his hand: "It's a good thing you didn't buy realgar powder back, otherwise I wouldn't buy it."

After handing over the things, Zhou Yuan spread out on the sofa, while Lu Liang went to the study on the second floor to move the ladder.

"Why do you lie down as soon as you come back!" Mother Zhou blamed.

"tired."

Zhou's mother rolled her eyes, expressing her dissatisfaction with his explanation: "Why are you so tired? You see, is Liang Liang the same as you?"

Zhou Yuan put his hands behind his head as a pillow, and said leisurely, "It's different, I'm recovering my strength, so I can make zongzi for you."

Zhou's mother poked him on the forehead: "Liangliang will definitely help. Who cares about you, it will definitely be a disservice."

Zhou Yuan jumped up from the sofa: "Okay, can't I get up?"

"That's right," Zhou's mother shook her head, and said proudly, "Go and help Liangliang lift the ladder, and later you two will hang up the calamus and mugwort leaves together, and put up the Zhong Kui portrait by the way."

"Hey, I see."

After answering a sentence, he took three steps and two steps, and went upstairs quickly.Lu Liang was moving the ladder out of the study, and he stepped forward to help.

"I'm here to help!"

Lu Liang said lightly: "Auntie called you here."

Zhou Yuan slapped his forehead in embarrassment: "You hit it off!"

The corner of Lu Liang's mouth curled up, and he stopped talking.

The two worked together to move the ladder to the door, and Zhou Yuan volunteered to hang up the calamus and mugwort leaves.

Then Lu Liang pasted Zhong Kui's portrait in the middle of the door.

Zhou Yuan looked at it with satisfaction, feeling much better.

Next, only the zongzi is left.
