[Whirlwind Girl] It's like a roof now

When Ruobai came out of the house, he saw Tingyi picking grapes standing on the wooden bars of the ladder.

On the top of the head are intertwined vines entangled on the beams of the hollowed-out flat pavilion. Bunches of green-clothed grapes hang down from the branches. The girl's long hair is tied into a small ball behind her head. She has a beautiful face and is dressed in white embroidered snow. A twill shirt, and a pair of light-colored denim cropped pants underneath. When you stretch out your arms and raise your arms, a section of your white waist will be exposed.

"Ruobai, I just ate a few while picking them. They taste quite sweet." Fang Tingyi shook a small bunch of grapes in her hand and put them into the basket hanging on the other side of the ladder.

Ruobai looked at her height from the ground, and said: "It's almost there, come down quickly."

"Oh." After successfully separating all the grape bunches at hand, Tingyi jumped down the ladder contentedly, and the sneakers on her feet made a light knocking sound.

Father Gu was discharged from the hospital today, Ruobai and Shen Ning took a day off to go home, and Tingyi followed her on the grounds of helping.

Ruobai's family lives in the single-story bungalow area in the north of Anyang City. Fang Tingyi came here for the first time, and before entering the door, she was attracted by the grape vine trellis in the front yard. When she heard that Gu's mother had said that it was time to eat, So eager to try, he volunteered to pick grapes.

"Do you want to eat it?" She took a green fruit and handed it over.

Ruobai glanced at it and said, "It hasn't been washed, it's full of dust from the air, it's not clean."

Tingyi knew about Ruobai's obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she lowered her hands helplessly, and muttered, "Eating a little ashes won't kill anyone..." She glanced at the vegetable garden in the front yard, and there was a large green area inside, which could be seen from several angles occasionally. There are red, purple, yellow and other colors hidden in the big leaves.She started another topic and said, "I thought that people like my uncle would grow a lot of flowers and plants at home, but I didn't expect that they were all vegetables planted by my aunt."

"I planted it before, but my dad dealt with dead things all day long, and he didn't have the heart to take care of the living things, so he could only let the plants wither. Later, my mother couldn't bear it, so she gave it to the neighbors in the neighborhood, and turned the flower garden into a vegetable garden. "

She thought of the furnishings in Ruobai's house. When she entered the door, she thought she had wandered into another time and space by mistake. Various paintings of flowers, birds, and landscapes adorned the walls, and all the cabinets displayed on the walls were replaced by bookshelves. On the full space, there are high-quality pens, inks, paper and inkstones and seal carvings for decoration.

Tingyi smiled: "It's uncle's style, and it's also auntie's style."

"Go in." Ruobai said, raised his hand to take down the bamboo basket, and put the ladder together and carried it with one hand.Tingyi hurriedly took the basket from him, "Let me do it, you can eat it after washing it. You don't think the fruit is too sweet, do you?"

"No."

"That's good."

When Tingyi came to the kitchen with a small basket of grapes, Mother Gu was washing the vegetables. Seeing her coming in, she asked, "Have you picked all the grapes?"

"Well, there are some that don't look familiar, so I didn't take them off."

"There are still a lot of melon vines in the back yard, but they are not ripe yet, and they will be ready to eat in a month."

"Auntie, are you usually not busy, do you have so much time to take care of fruits and vegetables?"

"I'm not busy, I'm at home on weekends, and I have one day off every two weeks, and another month off. The work in the library is also sorting out some ancient books and materials. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable in leisure, and it's good to plant something. To pass the time, you can still eat it."

Tingyi put a bunch of grapes in a fresh-keeping bag, tied them into knots and put them in the refrigerator, leaving some on a porcelain plate to wash and filter with water. "Auntie, would you like to try it?" She saw that Gu's mother was cleaning Green pepper, peeled a grape and handed it to the other party's mouth.

Gu's mother smiled, and swallowed it in Tingyi's hand, "Well, it's very ripe and tastes very sweet."

"I also think it's very sweet. Before letting Ruobai eat it, he thought it hadn't been washed and it was dirty."

"You young people call this...'cleanliness'?"

"Yes, it's cleanliness."

"Okay Tingyi, there's still a long time before lunch, and your uncle is stuck in the study at the moment, and has accumulated a lot of things these days. I'm busy here, you and Ruobai go outside to chat."

When Tingyi heard what Gu's mother said, she said, "Auntie, why don't I help you in the kitchen."

"You child, how can I let you into the kitchen when you come here for the first time. Hurry up and get out, the oily smoke will rise in a while, you don't wear an apron, be careful that your clothes get dirty."

Fang Tingyi felt a little guilty, she really wanted to say, it was because it was the first time I came here, how could I have the nerve to ask you to cook for me.But she couldn't say it, she was really not good at kitchen work, basically she didn't know it at all, and she was only at the level of cooking instant noodles.

However, she still insisted, "It's okay if the clothes are dirty, and I don't have a cleanliness...how about I choose dishes for you?"

Gu's mother stopped her and was about to say something when she looked up and saw her son standing at the door of the kitchen, "Ruobai, you came just in time, take Tingyi out."

"Aunt……"

"Be obedient, Auntie will let you try my handicraft."

Tingyi wanted to say something else, but Ruobai picked up the porcelain plate full of grapes with one hand, and took her by the elbow with the other to take her out.

"Don't cause trouble."

"How can this be troublesome?" Fang Tingyi muttered and looked at him displeasedly, "I don't believe that you can cook at the beginning, you can learn it bit by bit, I learn new things very quickly Is it good..."

Ruobai looked down at her with a calm and gentle expression, and handed her the porcelain plate in his hand, "Well, you are very smart."

"The boast is not sincere at all..." Tingyi took the plate, "Then what are we doing now? Auntie said that uncle is busy...I want to visit your room!"

"Have you not visited enough in Songbai?"

"That's different——" Tingyi said seriously: "After all, you lived with brother Chuyuan before, and you lived with Yifeng later, there must be traces of other people's lives..."

"Others?" Ruobai bit the words in her words, Tingyi coughed unnaturally: "Brother Chuyuan and Yifeng are certainly not 'others', uh, I mean..."

"Let's go."

"what?"

Ruobai who had already reached the stairs turned around, looked at Tingyi who was still there, and said, "Didn't you say you want to visit? Let's go."

"……Oh."

Ruobai's room is similar to what she imagined.

The room is filled with simple and soft warm colors, and the floor is made of mahogany. After putting on slippers, they slam on the ground and make a crisp, thumping sound.

The furnishings are very simple, big bed, wardrobe, low cabinet, desk, bookcase, chair, and there is another door in the house, behind which should be the bathroom.

The window faces the sun, and the curtains are drawn to both sides. At this moment, the breeze blows in and blows the outer gauze curtains slightly.

Fang Tingyi put down the grapes in her hand, pointed to a volume on the bookcase and said, "That's a photo album, can I have a look?"

"It's just the photos of life from childhood to adulthood. It's not like you don't know them."

Tingyi nodded, "But I just want to see it."

Fang Tingyi wanted to see it.

Even childhood sweethearts always have their own time.

She wanted to see, to see Ruobai's life that she had missed.

She wanted to see what Ruobai was like in those five long years.

Ruobai agreed, walked to the bookshelf, took down the photo album, and spread it out in front of the desk.

The two stood like this, flipping through the photos, or in other words, Ruobai's growth.

Tingyi turned the pages one by one.

Ruobai at the full moon.

Ruobai at one year old.

Fang Tingyi didn't know his former Ruobai.

The photo album is simple but not precious. It can be seen that the parents love their children, and you can also know that they are people who value life very much.

Tingyi looked at every photo seriously.

After passing Ruobai's childhood, and later, it was the appearance of those years in her memory, from a round face like jade, gradually, the eyebrows and eyes began to open, and the outline gradually became clear.

Among them, most of them are personal photos, but there are also photos with uncles and aunts, and there are also group photos with some people of the same age. Most of them are friends in the community, or brothers and sisters of relatives.

The photos are arranged in chronological order.

The photo in the last chapter in the lower right corner of this page is a group photo of Ruobai, Yu Chuyuan, and Fang Tinghao, or a group photo of four people, because Fang Tingyi remembers that this photo came from her hand and was pressed by her shutter button.

Just when she was about to continue turning backwards, her right hand covered the hand with slender knuckles.

"Don't look."

Ruobai's deep voice came from beside his ear.

Tingyi turned her head to look at him, and crashed into a long and deep sea.

"I want to see."

Ruobai sighed, "It will be sad to see it."

"I want to see."

Tingyi's attitude was firm, and her covering hand finally let go.

With Ruobai's foreshadowing, Fang Tingyi was ready to face what made her sad.She originally thought that there were no other photos behind this group photo, so Ruobai said, "It will make me sad to see it."

But the fact—

There are photos, four photos.

In fact, it is better not to have.

Fang Tingyi stared at those two photos, just like Ruobai said, her heart was filled with bitterness and sourness, and that kind of distressed and sour emotion suddenly filled her heart.

Because of those four photos——

Two big and two small.

Among them, two five-inch and two long rolls were bent to the back and sandwiched between them.

Junior high school graduation photos, class, grade.

High school graduation photos, class, grade.

Fang Tingyi could spot Ruobai at a glance among hundreds of people.

The fingertip moved up slowly, and the Ruobai on it was Ruobai when she was not around.

The album was closed, and Ruobai said, "I told you not to look at it, but you still look at it."

Tingyi turned around and looked at him, staring at his handsome face without blinking her eyes, as if she wanted to firmly engrave his facial features in her mind.

Ruobai frowned at her scorching gaze, don't move.

In the warm air in the half room, Tingyi reached out and took out the phone from her trouser pocket. Her palms were sweating coldly, and she was a little slippery holding the case.Layer after layer of interfaces on the phone flashed in my mind, fingers swapped swipes and taps.

She secretly glanced down from the corner of her eye, and after seeing that it was accurate——

"Ruobai."

Silent keys.

Ruobai only felt the corners of his mouth warm up, and after a soft touch, they separated in a second.

His pupils were slightly dazed, and he lowered his eyes to look at the girl in front of him, who was lowering his head to the screen and said, "Well, it's a good shot, and the angle is just right."

After this serious voice, there was a flustered addition pretending to be calm: "Then what, I guess Auntie is about to tell us to eat, so I'll go down first..."

Ruobai watched the girl's hurried back, struggled frantically with the handle of the door, and then fled away.

It wasn't the first time they had kissed, and it was just on the corners of their mouths.Thinking about the intensity and indulgence before, compared with the light touch just now, it seems that the latter made his heart burn even more.

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth,

So just now, he was attacked by Tingyi again?

Ruobai looked at the green grapes on the desk, without the slightest desire to eat them, he stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth that was touched, and his taste buds automatically distinguished the taste.

It seems that it is sweet.
