The Rationalist's Marriage

Qiu Yuening came back from Australia and took a day off before they embarked on their second seaside trip.This time, the preparations are more complete. Anyway, it is a self-driving car, and the luggage is thrown in the trunk. Qiu Yuening also specially packed a small medicine box, although he hoped that he would not need it.

The weather remains sunny and the forecast shows no rain for the rest of the week along the coast.They were unlucky on Ding Ye's birthday, but now they are lucky, maybe it's a cycle of good luck.

They moved into a B&B, which was further into the village on the other side of the sea, but due to the high terrain, the view was even better than the one they stayed at last time. The downstairs was facing a terrace where they could dine, connecting to the restaurant.

The development of the county has not stopped in recent years, not only as a natural sightseeing spot, but also in the creation of a cultural atmosphere.In addition to the "music festival" mentioned by Qiao Yi, the quiet path of the village where the homestay is located has transformed itself into a treasured place for Luanxiang and Phoenix.

Qiu Yuening and Ding Ye checked in, put down their luggage, and planned to take a walk around the neighborhood first; starting from the residence, various specialty shops and studios appeared in front of them one by one, some of which were newly opened and hadn't been seen in August.Soon it was lunch time, and without a clear purpose, they never entered any store, but were attracted by a white cat at the corner of the street. In the room with the door open, the two unconsciously stood under the door and followed in like this.

It is a porcelain art store, with daily necessities and decorative ornaments.As soon as the cat entered the store, it got into the arms of the man behind the counter. It seemed that it was raised by the owner.Qiu Yuening felt that it was like a greeter, and specially greeted guests at the door.

There was no one else at the moment, and the owner put down the cat and came to chat with them.

"Are you here to play?"

"Ah."

He was not in a hurry to sell, probably because of his enthusiastic temperament, he only talked to them when he had nothing to do.The cat walks on the ground, carefully avoids the shelves, and patrols with its head up, as if it is half the owner.Qiu Yuening watched with great interest, more interested in cats than in the items in the store.

"Aren't there many people recently?" Ding Ye asked the owner.

"There are few in the morning, and young people like to sleep in late... It's lively at night," he glanced out the window, "it's even more noisy on the beach."

The houses along the street blocked it, and the coast could not be seen here, but Ding Ye knew that he was talking about the area with dense bars and nightclubs.

Originally, he didn't want to buy anything, but the items in the store were too exquisite. Unknowingly, Ding Ye stood in front of a row of teacups for quite a long time—one of them had turquoise irregular fine lines on the white background, which was very simple. The pattern reveals an elegant and clear rhyme, which is pleasing to the eye.

"Let's buy a pair." Qiu Yuening looked away from the white cat.

"Don't you think we have too many glasses?"

What he said was also true. Both of them bought a lot of daily necessities at home before and after marriage, and the most bought ones were cups and bowls.

The cat was still moving, and Qiu Yuening felt that his toes were pressed, and the fluffy lumps of meat passed by his trousers, moved to the door, and squatted there again like a guide.

Ding Ye put the cup back with some reluctance.The shop was blocked by the houses on the south side, so it wasn't particularly bright, but a beam of light still leaped in, landed behind the cat, and landed on the back of Ding Ye's hand.

"Let's buy it," Qiu Yuening said, "I like it too." It's very casual to step into the store, and it's also very casual to buy things. Put aside the practical ones first.The cup is wrapped in a box, so it is not heavy to carry.

"Go slowly." The boss smiled.

In the alley on the other side, there is a cart selling roasted mochi. The pictures on the advertisement on the cart are mouth-watering, and there are a small group of people around, which shows that the taste is good.The two of them followed suit and ordered chocolate and peanut flavors.

After the rice cake was put on the grill, it swelled up in a short while, and it seemed that you could hear a slight popping sound; it was baked until both sides were slightly burnt, and they were placed in two paper boxes and topped with sauce.

"Come on, you two are ready." After the boss finished speaking, he continued to greet the diners behind.

Just as Ding Ye took a bite of his own, Qiu Yuening handed over his own, "Try chocolate again."

He took a sip and chewed slowly. The sweetness of the chocolate sauce blended perfectly with the glutinous aroma of the rice cake.

"Your ones taste better."

"Really," Qiu Yuening leaned over, "I'll try yours."

He took a bite of the thickest part of the sauce, and then looked at Ding Ye with a complicated expression.

"I'll change it with you," he said.

Ding Ye smiled: "What's the matter?" How come there are still people who like to argue about unpalatable things.

In the end, they bought another chocolate, and ate up the peanuts in line with the principle of not wasting.

Ding Ye said that Qiao Yi's bar has invited some bands, and there are performances from afternoon to night in the past few days.Qiu Yuening is not a person who likes clubbing at first, but Qing Bar is different from ordinary bars. He felt it when he came last time. It is a comfortable and comfortable place. After listening to Ding Ye's introduction, he secretly looked forward to the next activities.

Not in a hurry, they ate at the hotel at noon, rested for a while, and then strolled along the coastal plank road to the bar.

"Yo!" Qiao Yi frivolously snapped his fingers, "Here it is!"

Their table was still reserved, almost facing the stage, only slightly away.Qiao Yi said that the sound effect is not good if it is too close, and there is a certain distance between the tables and chairs, so it is not easy to block the line of sight.

The room was warm, and the two of them took off their trench coats at the same time, revealing the same style of plaid shirts, except that Qiu Yuening's was red, and Ding Ye's was blue.

"Pilot comrade," Qiao Yi pointed at Ding Ye, and asked Qiu Yuening in a somewhat exaggerated tone, "Is life going well after marriage?"

It sounded full of teasing, but Qiu Yuening nodded solemnly: "We've been fine." The colorful lights in the store shone on his face, and the color around his ears was a little darker.

Qiao Yi said something in Ding Ye's ear, as if deliberately not to let Qiu Yuening hear it, but the eyes of the two turned to him, Qiu Yuening felt strange.But they quickly returned to their normal talking distance, as if there was nothing to be concerned about.

Fu Li mixed wine mixed with champagne and orange juice for them, even Ding Ye didn't order anything else today, and drank this kind of sweet wine with a low alcohol content together.

The band sings folk songs with strong rhythm but not too loud.They drank, talked, and listened to music.The sun slid towards the western horizon, and Lian Haitao and the clouds were rendered together.Qiu Yuening glanced towards the window inadvertently, and the transparent glass reflected the misty and gorgeous colors, the golden glow and the red mist blended together, gradually making it difficult to distinguish.

The band changed wavers, and Qiao Yi didn't know when he stood aside.Ding Ye whispered to Qiu Yuening, "I'll go," and stood up from his seat.Qiu Yuening thought he wanted to go to the bathroom, but he didn't take it seriously.

"The following song is sung by an old friend of mine," Qiao Yi's voice came through the loudspeaker, "Although he has stopped singing for a long time, but it was our signature back then."

There was applause, Qiu Yuening's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately saw the young man in a blue check shirt under the stage lights—it was Ding Ye.

"Sing it again when you have a chance." It turned out that the farm's words were not a joke.

But why choose this time?Qiu Yuening stared at the stage, curious, excited and confused.He is familiar with Ding Ye's voice, and he has also imagined Ding Ye's singing, but seeing and listening to it with his own eyes is very different from pure imagination.

The people in the bar seemed to be full of interest in the "signboard" that the boss said, and they fell silent all of a sudden.

The music didn't start immediately, Ding Ye held the microphone in his hand, and his gaze moved toward the audience.Qiu Yuening realized that he was looking at himself.

It took only a few seconds for the eyes to meet, Ding Ye deliberately glanced out of the window, and slowly said: "I should have come to this bar for the first time almost three years ago. I was alone at that time, and it was also in the evening, sitting by the window. The location, I especially like the sunset seen here, just like now.

"Shortly after that I fell in love with someone..."

Some people in the audience were cheering, probably eager to understand what was going on behind the scenes. As soon as these shouts were raised, they all stopped breathing in unison.Others were looking for fun, but Qiu Yuening was so nervous that his breathing was disordered and his back was sweating. He found that Ding Ye's gaze had returned to him.

"I really want to take him to the beach to watch the sunset, and I want to sing him a song here.

"This wish has come true, I think we can watch many sunsets and sunrises together.

"I will continue to love you in the future."
