C66 (2/2)
After Zipeng finished speaking, Lixia took out a letter and stuffed it into his hand. Then he sat in the back of the bike and put his arm around his waist. He took her to Taoyuan on his bicycle to the eighth line of the bus station.
Zi Peng came to the village. Today, he was going to Rural Party Committee to report about Yang Yuefa's deeds and written materials. He left the village at 7: 30 and arrived at Rural Party Committee 20 minutes on his bicycle. He found the Committee members who were promoting to him and reported briefly on his studies of Yang Yuefa. Then, he handed a thick piece of paper to the Committee members and completed his work this morning.
Zi Peng looked at his watch. It was only 8: 40, so it was still not too late to take a taxi to City. Thus, he placed the bicycle in the courtyard of the Rural Government, sat on the third string bus and went to the City.
Zi Peng walked back to his usual place. When he got there, he saw that indeed, Lixia was waiting for him there. He took three happy steps and two, and came to her. After greeting each other, they walked shoulder to shoulder as they walked up the embankment.
The embankment was broad and flat, with a driveway and a sidewalk. Although it was not the time for spring to bloom, the snow on the riverbank had already melted to a minimum. Some parts of it were still exposed to the wind. The wind was blowing strongly this season. After the gusts of wind, there was dust everywhere; there were all kinds of bags dancing around. People's hair was blown all over the place; their clothes were flapping; the wires were flapping in the wind, and they were screaming like ghosts and wolves …
Zi Peng and Lixia slowly walked on the sidewalk, and she held his arm. As he combed his hair that was messed up by the wind, he spoke to Zi Peng emotionally:
”Bro, did it affect your work again today?”
Zi Peng was also very happy when he saw the elated expression on her face. Thus, he comforted her and said:
”Sister, today's work has been completed. We can take a stroll on the river bank with ease; watch a movie without worry; speak our mind without worry; and spend the day in City without worry.”
Listening to Zi Peng's words, she felt even more happy. She looked at him with her bright, beautiful eyes and murmured,
”Brother, these days, I've missed you so much. I miss you so much, like you're a fool. I couldn't help it. I got up in the middle of the night the other night to write to you. Brother, have you read the letter I wrote? ”
Zi Peng patted Lixia's shoulder, and without blinking, his eyes met her gentle and affectionate gaze as he replied to her question:
”Sister, I haven't even had the chance to look. I'll look at it when I get home, and seeing it here will affect our mood. ”
Lixia and Zi Peng looked at each other and smiled as if they understood each other, then said as if giving an order:
”This brother has thought it through. Bro, I'll treat you to lunch today, don't reject me.”
When Zi Peng heard that Lixia was going to treat him to lunch today, he felt a little embarrassed and insisted,
”Sister, let me treat you. I appreciate the chance you gave me to meet you this time, so how can I let you spend so much?”
Lixia punched Zi Peng on the shoulder and insisted,
”Brother, stop fighting. I only asked you out because I want to stay with you for a while longer.” Actually, I came here today because I didn't have anything to do. I just wanted to meet up with you, say the truth, and look at you a few more times. When you came today, I felt much more relaxed. Don't you think I should treat you to dinner? ”
When Zi Peng heard that Lixia thought about him like he was a fool, he was deeply moved. In fact, Zi Peng thought, wasn't Lixia the same as well? Thus, he also told her his heartfelt words:
”Sister.” Do you know how I've been thinking about you these days? I haven't seen you since I went to your house on the fifteenth day of the first month. I think you think, don't want to eat during the day, can't sleep at night, the taste is too unbearable. There's nothing I can do about it. I'll just look at your picture and see the letter you wrote me. After a few rounds, the sky will brighten. ”
At this moment, Lixia was reminded of the night before she wrote to Zipeng and was discovered by Guihong. Thus, she told Zi Peng the entire story:
”Brother, the night before last, when I was writing to you, my husband woke up and found me writing a letter. So he asked me, 'Lixia, what time is it? Why aren't you sleeping? Who are you writing to? ' I panicked and wrote a letter to my father, and he believed me. After a while, he fell asleep again. Brother, tell me, how close is it? If he gets up and sees that he is writing to you, it will be terrible. ”
Zi Peng was especially surprised when he heard what Lixia had to say. He held her hand and comforted her:
”Sister, you must take note in the future. When he is at home, you must not write to him, lest any problems arise.”
