love like drunk

The afternoon sun is very warm, and everything it shines on is covered with a layer of golden velvet.

Gu Wenxi hasn't seen Du Yunyan since he started eating lunch.The front door was half open, and apart from the ringing of wind chimes, there were occasional rustling sounds outside, as if something was rubbing against the branches and leaves of trees.

Before returning to the room, he glanced outside the door. It turned out that Du Yunyan was standing under the two pomegranate trees, and the long-handled tool in his hand was poking around between the branches and leaves, enough for the fruit on the tree. Put it in the basket next to you.

Sitting at a blind spot while eating, Gu Wenxi didn't see this direction, so naturally she didn't know that Du Yunyan was in the yard all the time.

When Gu Wenxi walked over, Du Yunyan was still focused on looking for ripe fruits. The yellow dog lying on the side barked twice before he realized that someone was approaching: "Have you finished eating?"

"It's over," Gu Wenxi looked at the basket full of fruits at his feet. The pomegranates had a red skin, and the top two pomegranates grinned, "Are they all ripe?"

"Well, this variety matures relatively late."

In fact, Gu Wenxi was just asking casually. He didn't know when ordinary pomegranates matured at all, and he didn't know how late Du Yunyan's so-called "late ripening" was.

After picking three more fruits, Du Yunyan used the tool to pull the branches a few more times. He couldn't see anything but the leaves. He held the tool in his left hand and planned to use both hands to lift the basket.

"Can I help you?" Gu Wenxi volunteered, "Is it carried into the house?" He stretched out his hand while talking, touching the edge of the basket one step ahead of Du Yunyan, and exerted strength with both hands at the same time.

However, the position of the basket did not move at all, and it was still firmly nailed to the ground.

Gu Wenxi blushed and raised her head, Du Yunyan bent down, grabbed the side close to her with her hands, and said to Gu Wenxi: "Help me carry it in."

With the strength of another person, Gu Wenxi finally felt that the basket was not so heavy. He also used two hands to hold one side, and carried the pomegranates into the dining room together.

"Thank you."

Du Yunyan dragged out a cardboard box from behind the bar, which looked like a box left over from mailing items. On it, the address and the name of the person were written with a thick ink pen. The location of the name was impressively marked with three big characters "Du Yunyan".

Gu Wenxi was slightly taken aback, it turned out that the third character of his name was "inkstone" from "inkstone".

However, does he want to store pomegranates in cardboard boxes?

"How long will it take to eat these?"

"Give some to others," Du Yunyan took a hot towel to wipe the surface of the pomegranate, "put the rest away and eat slowly."

Gu Wenxi felt that it was neither good to leave nor to stay. It didn’t matter if he helped to carry the basket just now, and he didn’t have the patience to do such a cumbersome thing like Du Yunyan. Besides, he was just a tourist, so he didn’t need to take this trouble.It can be seen that Du Yunyan is busy, but he is too embarrassed to run away directly.

Du Yunyan saw through his embarrassment: "Just do what you want, I don't need help here."

Gu Wenxi turned around with relief.

"Wait a minute," Du Yunyan put down the towel and fruit in his hand, found something from under the bar table and handed it over, "The remote control of the air conditioner."

Gu Wenxi remembered what happened last night: "Where did you buy the battery?"

"There is a small shop at the head of the village."

"Is that so?" Gu Wenxi is not very familiar with the road conditions here, and he doesn't know how far it is, "Will it be troublesome?"

"Fortunately, it's only a few minutes by car."

I saw him go out in the morning, probably to buy batteries.Gu Wenxi took the remote control and stroked the buttons below with her thumb.Du Yunyan went into the kitchen to wash his hands, and when he came out, his wrists were dripping with water.

"Then I'll go up first." Gu Wenxi pointed upstairs.

"Ah."

Gu Wenxi took out the camera bag from the travel bag and put it on her body.He likes to take pictures when he goes out. He uses his camera and mobile phone to take pictures, but he doesn't take pictures of himself. He only takes pictures of scenery or people he feels touched by.After sleeping all morning, he finally had the energy to walk around properly.

Walking out of the small building, he saw the black dog crouching under a tree basking in the sun.This dog understands human nature. It was the first time he met him and recognized him. Today, he didn't react that much. He just stared with piercing eyes and walked around him with his tail wagging.

"Are you Yangyang, or Beibei?" Gu Wenxi teased it decently.

He went out, and the dog followed.

"There's nothing to eat if you follow me!" He spread his hands, left the fence of the hotel, and said to the dog, "Hurry up and go back."

The dog did not follow.

Gu Wenxi turned to the slope above, and then went all the way down the mountain road, passing two slightly steeper slopes, and then saw the water.

It is not the rainy season now, the water level of the river is not high, and it is rushing downstream in a lukewarm manner.The weather was very clear, with fluffy clouds drifting aimlessly in the sky, and the outline of the distant mountains was clearer than yesterday.Gu Wenxi pointed the camera lens at the river bank.He has been to many places, but there are not many original countryside and mountains, and there is some freshness in them.

People are easily attracted by unfamiliar environments. Country people are eager to go to big cities for a career, and city people are constantly looking for various remote "quiet places" to pray for some kind of spiritual sustenance.The blogger probably recommended Pingliang Village on the Internet out of such a mentality.

However, judging from the relatively complete facilities of the Yaning B&B, it is far from being a poor place. Gu Wenxi also saw private cars parked in many people's courtyards.

On the way back, he met the girl from yesterday, Du Yunyan seemed to call her "Yanyan".

"Is school over?" Gu Wenxi saw that she was still riding a bicycle with her schoolbag on her back, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Hmm!" The girl's eyes flickered, maybe she remembered seeing this strange uncle the day before, "Uncle, are you staying at Uncle Yunyan's hotel?"

"Yes," Gu Wenxi replied, "Are you familiar with him?"

"Well," she got out of the car, and chatted with him while pushing the car, "Uncle Yunyan cooked me delicious food, and even helped me with my homework...he is so nice!"

"Really," Gu Wenxi looked thoughtful, "By the way, is he really from here?"

"Anyway, I've known Uncle Yun Yan since I was a child." The girl got into the car again at the fork in the hotel, "Uncle, I'm going home first!"

"Okay, be careful." Gu Wenxi watched her go away with a smile.

I accidentally stayed outside for too long, and when I turned around, I saw the bright red clouds in the western sky.

The floor-to-ceiling glass of the restaurant vaguely reflected a sitting figure, and Gu Wenxi guessed that it was Du Yunyan without looking closely.He stepped on the threshold and glanced there subconsciously.

Du Yunyan was eating pomegranates, and the small bowl on the right was full of peeled red beads, and there was a small origami trash box next to it for the spit out seeds.

It was the first time Gu Wenxi saw him eating in front of her. His movements were much more gentle than ordinary men. He used a small spoon to send spoonfuls to his mouth, then spit the seeds on the spoon and poured them into a small box, because the movements were slow. And be careful, there is no trace on the mouth.

Du Yunyan noticed that the other party was staring at him without blinking, and finally put down the spoon: "Do you want to eat? There is another one on the bar."

Gu Wenxi glanced out of the corner of his eye to see the "pomegranate" he mentioned, which may also be ripe and not received in the box.However, he didn't just look at it because he was greedy. When Du Yunyan asked, he shook his head embarrassingly: "No, no, that... pomegranates are good, but eating them is too troublesome."

"trouble?"

"Yeah," Gu Wenxi simply pulled out a chair, sat across from him, pointed to his bowl and said, "Look, it's very troublesome to peel it, and you have to spit out the seeds when you eat it."

"You don't have to spit out the seeds," Du Yunyan continued to pick up the spoon, "it's more nutritious."

"Forget it, pomegranate seeds are not tasty."

Gu Wenxi raised her legs and leaned against the back of the chair, tapping the fingers of her left hand on the dining table as if playing a piano, and glanced at Du Yunyan opposite from time to time.

Du Yunyan was completely undisturbed and continued to eat his pomegranate without saying a word.After a while, Gu Wenxi, who felt bored, was about to get up when she heard the other party's voice: "Do you have any special requirements for dinner?"

He sat back again: "No."

"Then I'll warm it up for you."

"Hey, don't worry, Boss Du," Gu Wenxi couldn't help it, "Can't you not always treat customers with an attitude? No, other bosses and customers can still chat with each other."

Du Yunyan's eyebrows were slightly raised: "Do you want to chat with me about family issues?"

"I, I'll just make an analogy," Gu Wenxi earnestly said, "I mean, if you are more enthusiastic, maybe the business will be better."

"It's all voluntary," Du Yunyan picked up the last teaspoon in the bowl, "If others don't want to come, I won't force it."

"Why are you so rigid? I walked around the neighborhood in the afternoon. Don't tell me, it's more distinctive than most places I've been to, including your homestay." Gu Wenxi looked up and looked around, "It's just not fully developed. .”

"We don't need it here." Du Yunyan said in a tone of no interest.

"Well, it's good to keep the traditional features, but what about publicity?" Gu Wenxi took out her mobile phone and flipped to WeChat Moments, "This is a photo I took this afternoon. After sending it out, they all asked me where I was, and asked Accommodation." He has a lot of friends, and after sending a WeChat message for an hour, the number of comments and snacks below is very considerable. "You have to thank me?"

Du Yunyan stood up from his seat: "This is your freedom, but I didn't ask you to do so."

Gu Wenxi was a little annoyed by the not-salty tone, after all, the hotels and hotels outside were eager for the guests to post photos for publicity.Originally, I wanted to ask the other party if he had a microblog or a public account to follow. Seeing him like this, he would be the devil.

"I'll help you prepare dinner."

Du Yunyan ignored the other party's black face, repeated what he had interrupted earlier, turned around and left, and took away the pomegranate bowl and spoon.

Gu Wenxi rested her head on her arms, lying on the table boredly, the window was already half red and half purple.There was a chandelier hanging above his head, with a round lampshade, and a soft yellow light. Because there were few people, only this one was turned on in the hall, and the light spread out, drawing a halo with blurred boundaries, falling on his body.

Dinner was fried shredded bamboo shoots with carrots, fried tofu, potato pancakes, and red bean barley porridge. The color was bright, but Gu Wenxi couldn't quite whet her appetite.

"Hey," he called Du Yunyan who was about to leave, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat together, the table is so big."

After several conversations, Gu Wenxi also felt that Du Yunyan was an old-fashioned old man who kept to the rules, but he had a rebellious heart, and the more frustrated he was, the more he wanted to tease the other party overtly and secretly.

Du Yunyan lowered his eyes to look at the dishes on the table, and finally brought his own bowl and chopsticks.

"Boss," Gu Wenxi pawed at the plate with chopsticks, "is your rule to be vegetarian six days a week and meat the other day?"

"Yes."

"Then why do you have to choose Sunday?" Gu Wenxi frowned exaggeratedly, "Tuesday and Wednesday are not allowed?"

Du Yunyan almost rolled his eyes: "Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference," Gu Wenxi's voice became a little higher, "Today, on Tuesday, my room is booked until Thursday, and maybe I will leave the day after tomorrow. It's hard to come here, and I'm a vegetarian every day, what a tragedy!"

"I'm a vegetarian every day," Du Yunyan moved his chopsticks slowly, "I never feel miserable."

"Then—" Gu Wenxi almost blurted out 'I'm a guest', but his words were too pretentious. He just said in the afternoon that he didn't want Du Yunyan to treat him as a guest.

Forget it, he couldn't think about building a relationship with such a determined person, so he had a pleasing face for nothing.

Going to bed after turning on the air conditioner, Gu Wenxi felt much more comfortable, and the rooster crowing did not wake him up the next morning.It was after nine o'clock that he went downstairs yawning. When he was about to reach the restaurant, he heard strangers talking and laughing. Besides Du Yunyan, there were other people here.
