Dressed as a stand-in for the female protagonist

Chapter 60

?? Bright moon, pine branches, snow.

??It's still a cold winter day, and I don't know when spring will come.Chang Yishao met Xie Qingtang's gaze, and took in the light in her eyes. The original grievance suddenly dissipated, and the restless heart suddenly settled down.

??She Xie Qingtang is the spring breeze, that beautiful spring day.

??The filming and editing of "Ingenuity" is on the right track, and the promotion of handicrafts has always occupied the first column of recommendations, but no one is talking about it now.There were so many people coming and going in the live broadcast room, but the number of views of the series of videos of "Ingenuity" was steadily increasing.

??Before the arrival of spring, a piece of good news came to my ears first. "Ingenuity" won a national award.This folk handicraft museum in Shencheng has already hung up the signs of various demonstration areas, and it is a key project, but it was quiet and unknown in the past. The award of "Ingenuity" made it even better, promoting handicrafts more people.Whether it's tourists who come here for the fame, or artisans and scholars who exchange and study, the number of them has suddenly increased.

?? This was originally what Mr. Jiang wanted to do. Xie Qingtang's appearance helped him solve this problem.

??As the end of the year approached, all areas were closed one after another, and only the exhibition area was still receiving tourists from all over the world.Xie Qingtang was free, sometimes living in the dormitory, occasionally helping Mr. Jiang receive guests, and sometimes living in Chang Yishao's place, playing with the little moon that gradually grew up every day.The short-legged Tuanzi no longer fell to the ground on its side, its sharp claws could pick up the thread ends on the clothes, Xie Qingtang often patiently combed Little Moon's hair and trimmed her nails, as if she could never leave him again.

?? Xie Qingtang didn't kiss the old man, so naturally he didn't need to think about how to live this year.

??But Chang Yishao is different. She has a big family waiting for her to go back and reunite.As New Year's Eve was approaching, she had posted the word "Fu" and couplets in advance in her house, and was about to pack up and go back to Yucheng.

"Are you really not going with me?" Chang Yishao asked seriously. If Xie Qingtang was willing, she would naturally be happy to introduce her to relatives and friends.

"No." Xie Qingtang shook her head, her eyes were bright and her smile was gentle.Maybe in the eyes of Chang Yishao's elders, she already has a girlfriend, but only they know what kind of relationship it is.The contract has ended, so the strange relationship agreed at the beginning will naturally be severed.

"I will take care of the little moon." Xie Qingtang smiled with her eyes bent, she stood up and straightened Chang Yishao's white scarf, and said, "Say in advance, Teacher Chang, Happy New Year."

??Chang Yishao pursed her lips, she stared at Xie Qingtang and said, "Spring will begin soon after New Year's Eve."

??Xie Qingtang blinked, as if she didn't read the deep meaning of her words, she stretched her waist and said, "Yeah, the sky is getting warmer soon."

?? On the day Chang Yishao left, Xie Qingtang didn't go to see him off.She stayed at Chang Yishao's house, but fell asleep until the little moon stepped on her and woke her up.Meow, meow, seemed to be accusing her of being irresponsible.Xie Qingtang glanced at the empty pillow beside her, her eyes dimmed a bit.After a long time, he stretched his waist, bent his fingers and flicked Little Moon's head, and sighed, "I know how to eat... It's just that Teacher Chang is not here, so I can only make do with it."

?? She, Xie Qingtang, couldn't even manage her own food, let alone prepare delicious cat meals for Little Moon.

??New Year's Eve is quiet, the sky is gray, the clouds are like lead, and there seems to be a heavy snowfall.There were fewer vehicles on the car, and the piercing siren sound also subsided, and the sound of "bang bang" was only heard occasionally, which was the sound of fireworks from far away.

??The fireworks in the daytime are not as bright as fireflies, and they disappear in the blink of an eye.

?? Xie Qingtang has lived alone for many years, and she doesn't have much expectation or affection for this festival.It's like every day, sunrise and sunset, just a blink of an eye.Only this time, looking at the not-so-empty room, and at the trace of another person in the room, anxiety and loneliness slowly rose in my heart.

??New Year's Eve is just an ordinary night, and nothing unexpected will happen.

??The coffee table was full of food from the private kitchen—probably because she was afraid that she would be hungry, and Chang Yishao had already prepared it in advance.

?? Xie Qingtang was sitting on the sofa with the cat in her arms, and laughter and laughter came from the TV screen. She felt Chang Yishao's thoughtfulness in her heart, but suddenly other emotions flooded her.

?? She began to miss the fresh life of two people, and it was difficult to return to the lonely life of one person.

??At eight o'clock, Chang Yishao sent a video call.The background is a room with cool colors, and it seems that it has broken away from the environment surrounded by a large family.

??Xie Qingtang leaned lazily on the sofa, squinting her eyes slightly, responding to Chang Yishao's words one by one.

?? Boring words such as "Have you eaten?"

"I will go back to Shencheng in the second year of junior high school." Chang Yishao looked at Xie Qingtang and said again.She has stayed in Shencheng for less than a year, but this place has already become her other home.

??Xie Qingtang was a little surprised. She sat up straight and looked at the person on the screen. She came back earlier than she thought. She couldn't help asking: "Don't you need to visit relatives and friends?"

??Chang Yishao shook her head and said, "No need." She doesn't like this kind of thing very much, and the people in the family have been pampering her and will not force her to socialize with others. As for the brothers, the result It's just different.

??Xie Qingtang didn't speak anymore, but a faint smile floated from the corners of his eyes and brows.Little Moon was dissatisfied with being ignored, and was about to climb up while putting on Xie Qingtang's coat. The little paws appeared in the camera, and the meowing sound was still milky, not as full of vigor as the wild cats outside.

?? "Little Moon has grown up a lot." Chang Yishao chuckled.

"Yeah." Xie Qingtang squinted, the weight gain was visible to the naked eye, she stretched out a finger to overturn the little moon, so as not to let it obstruct the camera, and smiled, "In a while, we will It's going to be neutered."

??Chang Yishao thought, the word "we" made her happy from the inside out.After a while, it will also be spring, and will the spring breeze that belongs to her come as promised?

?? Xie Qingtang didn't mention it, and Chang Yishao also didn't speak. There was a tacit understanding between the two.

?? Their current life is very much like a pair of lovers. It's just that they don't have a single word, which makes her feel uneasy.

??Spring comes and everything sprouts.

??The peach and plum trees along the road compete for spring first.

??The opening time of the museum is later than usual, and Xie Qingtang naturally has more sunny spring days where she can travel.

??Her face is no longer unfamiliar to many people. Not to mention the sight of her when walking on the road. Occasionally, there are a few bold people who come forward to sign autographs, or take pictures with their mobile phones.But compared to those famous stars, she really has fewer things to deal with.

?? "Should I wear sunglasses, a mask, and lower the brim of my hat in the future?" Chang Yishao smiled slightly upon seeing this.

Xie Qingtang gave her a cross-eyed glance, deliberately moved closer to Chang Yishao, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid Mr. Chang will be in the mirror with me." After a pause, he continued, "There may be gossip all over the sky. and gossip."

??Chang Yishao took advantage of the situation and grabbed Xie Qingtang's hand, and said with a smile, "Isn't that good?"

"Not good." Xie Qingtang shook her head like a rattle, cast a sidelong glance at Chang Yishao, and said in a drawn-out tone, "If you read too much gossip, it might become true."

??Chang Yishao was choked by her words, and she felt a little relieved as she lowered her eyes and held the hand she held.Her eyes no longer stayed on Xie Qingtang's body, but drifted past the red, red, white and white of the treetops. "Look at Peach and Plum." She whispered.

?? The spring breeze has arrived.

?? "Mr. Chang's poetry is very popular, do you want to recite a poem?" Xie Qingtang pretended to be surprised.

??Chang Yishao pursed her lips. How could she not know that Xie Qingtang did it on purpose??

?? "Spring is here, but you still owe me a spring." Chang Yishao said in a low voice.

?? Xie Qingtang chuckled when she heard the words, spring is here, she thought Chang Yishao would wait until the next spring to ask.

??She didn't answer, but just bought a bouquet of flowers for Chang Yishao when passing by a flower shop, and said: "Spring is in the wild, go back and put this bouquet in a vase, your own spring will come. "

??Chang Yishao pursed her lips, Xie Qingtang looked normal, but her heart was full of anxiety.

??Maybe only those who are waiting for the results will suffer.

?? This bouquet of flowers is neatly trimmed. There are plum blossoms, peach blossoms, plum blossoms, and some unknown flower branches. They are mixed together and have no words of their own. Instead, as Xie Qingtang said, they are used for vase decoration flowers.

?? She was merciful and never made it clear what her intentions were.

??The vase in the house has been empty for a whole winter, and it has been placed on a high place for fear of being knocked over by the little moon.

??Chang Yishao sat on the sofa and slowly put the bouquet into the porcelain vase. Her lips were slightly pursed, she couldn't tell whether she was happy or depressed.

??Xie Qingtang took her expression into his eyes, and it seemed that another self had split in his mind, complaining loudly about his ruthlessness and hard heart - she was good at everything and did nothing wrong, why should she suffer so much?Xie Qingtang also couldn't tell, maybe it was the rebellious mentality created by avoiding in the past, this was her first relationship, she didn't want to start it easily, and she didn't want to think about ending it.

??During the time of contemplation, Chang Yishao had already arranged the flowers, and the little moon came up curiously, but was ruthlessly pushed aside by Chang Yishao.

"Xie Qingtang."

??Chang Yishao was calling her name, waking her up from her contemplation.

?? When she raised her eyes, her heart trembled when she met those eyes that were shining with crystal light and covered with a bit of aggrieved eyes.The remaining persistence was also swept away. "I'm here." She cleared her throat, but her voice was not loud, but rather hoarse.

"What do you want me to do?" Chang Yishao was still staring at her, with the corners of her lips tightly pursed.

??Xie Qingtang's eyelids twitched. After a long time, she looked up at Chang Yishao and said, "Chang Yishao, let's make another contract."

??Chang Yishao's heart sank, and the light accumulated in the corners of his eyes almost dripped from his eyelashes.

"We have made a contract to be long-term lovers, but we must maintain our independence from each other." Xie Qingtang paused, she moved closer to Chang Yishao, brushed the corner of her eyes with her fingertips, and then continued, "We can You can stay together even if you are separated for a short time. If you really want to have such a day that you don’t want to foresee at this moment, you don’t have to force it.[1]”

??Chang Yishao was taken aback. She didn't expect Xie Qingtang to mean such a contract.Is she worried about an uncertain future?

?? She will not, and will not let that day happen.

?? Xie Qingtang's palm was still attached to her face, the person in sight, the love and tenderness that had been hidden in the past flowed from the corners of the eyes and brows.

??Chang Yishao nodded lightly, and replied, "Okay."

?? As long as she is still willing to come in spring, it is enough.

??The author has something to say: [1] Adapted from the lines of the drama "The Second Sex", just read the literal meaning.

??The end of the text.
