Greedy.

Chapter 12

The next day you made an appointment to go hiking.When you were dating, you didn't consider that you would be sleepless the night before.But when you saw Qiao Qing, you found a similar tired look on his face.

You almost laughed together.

The slope is not steep at the beginning, so you turn your back and face Qiao Qing.You are a few steps ahead of him, which allows you to look down on him slightly.

You see the swirls of his hair... His hair is very dark and a few of them are sticking up.

You glanced at his expression, made a pretentious bow, shook your head and said, "Excuse me, excuse me."

Qiao raised his eyebrows lightly, pretending to be deep: "It should be, it should be."

You shook your head: "That can't be done, it can't be done."

Qiao Qing is waiting for you to continue playing.

... His eyes are curved down, and his eyes are elongated a little, like a long almond.

You pause, and a second later you recall.You continued fluently: "To make up, to make up well. To vigorously, sincerely, and attentively—"

Qiao Qing: "OK."

...his eyes are so bright.Strange, today is obviously cloudy.

Qiao Qing repeated: "I'm waiting for your vigorous, sincere and heartfelt compensation."

You blink.

Then he walked up quickly, pulled your shoulders and turned you sideways, facing the side of the road.There's a fork here, obviously a path.It is very small, there are no steps, only boulders embedded in the mud, extending out one by one.

As he pushed you to go there, he said, "Now, let's start a new map."

The road is downhill.It was well developed at the beginning, but you took another fork along the way.So those stones were covered with a layer of moss.These stones pass through the forest, and the branches of the trees grow up to the head of a person. You have to bend over to walk through them.

"It's a rough ride," you say. "Be careful, don't slip. The stone is wet."

Joe lightened up.You didn't go any further.When you stand there, you can see all the intertwined branches, and the dense leaves spread on the branches, which are connected to each other regardless of each other, covering the sunlight.It's very shady here.

You stand side by side with him on a rock, with mud on either side.

"It feels like a treasure hunt. What do you say is down there?"

"There's a lake below, I've been there before."

"Hey," you complained, "the answer to the mystery is so easily revealed, it doesn't feel like a treasure."

"There are still surprises, trust me." Joe turned his head and glanced at you lightly, "It's like a sapphire."

You pursed your lips and didn't answer.In a glimpse, his eyes are also like gems.

picture……

Qiao Qing continued to walk down.The rock was a little high, and he jumped.You didn't move.

He turned around and looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

The sunlight that leaked from between the leaves fell into his eyes.

Only in his eyes.

You jump off that rock.You think about what his eyes look like.

like amber.

You heard Qiao Qing say: "...I just wanted you to see it, so I took you here."

What?You backtracked for a second.sapphire.

"Oh, so it's not because of the good atmosphere here?"

"..."

"Joke, joke."

"Too."

You are momentarily speechless.

The light became shallower, and the wind blew up, causing the branches and leaves to rustle.

silence.

Joe gently pushed your shoulder: "It's going to rain, let's go first."

You came back to your senses and subconsciously glanced at the sky.But after a while, there was already a bit of cloud green and rainy breath.

You responded almost inaudibly, lowered your head and walked down.Now Qiao Qing is walking behind.All the bird calls just now disappeared, and the wind also weakened, unable to blow the branches and leaves, only his breath was carried slightly.You can hear his breathing.Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well, and I have a nasal sound.

Only then did you realize how appropriate the phrase "the atmosphere is good" just now, although you were really just joking.

While thinking about how nice the rustling sound of his tracksuit is, you skip down carelessly.As punishment for being neglected, a twig leans malevolently on the rock and trips you squarely.In a blink of an eye, you subconsciously stretched out your hand towards Qiao Qing, but it was actually caught by him with quick eyesight and quick hands.

His hands are strong.

The rain fell at this moment.You let go almost as soon as the first raindrop hits the back of your hand.

The warm and dry touch was washed away by the rain in an instant.You curl up your fingers and hold the rainwater in the palm of your hand.

He caught it too fast.It's as if... as if he's been watching you, waiting for you.

The rainwater gathered in the palm of the hand flowed down again along the palm lines.There are also new ones that fall through the fingers.

Then everything stopped.Qiao Qing stood beside you.

The rain bypasses you and pours down from both sides.

"You turned on the 'button'?"

Joe hummed lightly.Button, multi-functional daily necessities, can act as a fully automatic follow-up transparent umbrella when it rains.

"Don't use it."

You took out a key-shaped thing from your waist, about two centimeters thick.Collapsible umbrella.You prop it up and it's just big enough to cover two people.

"Hold it up." Qiao pointed out lightly.

"I know." You snorted, "Otherwise I wouldn't bring it."

Qiao Qing glanced at you quickly, and met your half-smile look.He flexed his fingers and said nothing.

You tacitly silence each other, only the sound of rain dripping.

It seems to be whispering a little awkward tenderness... In this age when no one holds an umbrella, I want to hold an umbrella for you.

Rain fell along the eaves of the umbrella.Drizzling, how can also not fall.

When the rain turned small but did not stop, you fell to the bottom.

Qiao Qing was right, it was indeed like a sapphire.

That's what he wants you to see.You didn't feel it before, but when you got to the scene, you belatedly felt some romantic meaning from it.

The tiny raindrops melted into the lake silently, without even a ripple.

"It's so pretty," you said, "I want to pry it out of the ground and put it in my pocket."

"What a special feeling—I'll just take it as 'you like it very much'."

"I really like it." You tilted your head, "Qiao Qing, thank you."

Qiao Qing was startled, then smiled.

"My pleasure."

You looked into his smiling eyes, solemnly: "It's more than that."

You thank him for all the gifts he brings you, but even more for coming to you.

The rain gradually stopped.You put away your umbrella, and you dragged Qiao Qing to the lake together.

You stood there watching, laughing for no reason.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing, it seems that there is always 'water' between us."

Qiao raised his eyebrows lightly: "Boss?"

"Yes," you counted out for him, "the river we met, the water you bought for me, you told me to drink more water even when I ate candy, and finally took me to see the scenery. to the lake."

"It sounds like you are very dissatisfied." Joe joked lightly.

"No, no, I really like water."

I didn't like it at first, but now I like it.

As if to prove it, you quickly added: "Let's go swimming tomorrow, there is also water."

After speaking, you froze for a moment, then looked at him expectantly. ...Reject, you refuse...

Under your "yinyin" gaze, Qiao nodded lightly: "Okay."

You groaned.

You don't know why you came up with this.Because God knows you can't swim at all.

The pool is a great place ^-^
