travel on the tip of the tongue

Lin Shenlu looked at An Muxi above his head.

An Muxi looked at Lin Shenlu below him.

The two looked at each other quietly.

Neither spoke.

The wind seems to be picking up.

Blowing on the hem of Lin Shenlu's clothes.

Also blowing on An Muxi's skirt.

An Muxi seemed to have thought of something...

Slightly tugged on the skirt...

Turned around and went back to the house.

The two of them didn't say anything from beginning to end.

Maybe I don't want to disturb this wonderful quiet atmosphere.

An Muxi's balcony lights went out.

Lin Shenlu turned around and reached into his pocket to find out that there were no more cigarettes.

Taking a deep breath, a drizzle fell on his forehead.

The first night at Erhai Lake.

It's raining.

Facing the Erhai Lake, I don’t know when there is a small boat shuttling on the quiet lake.

Come in your own direction.

It was as if a hole had been cut open.

Thin raindrops across the arm, a little cool.

The lights were dim.

Slanted on the water.

The thin raindrops seemed to be connected into a bead curtain, spread out on the lake, dyed red by the dim lights, like a ripe crabapple.

Silently surrounding Lin Shenlu, it was a faint red mist that was gradually dyed.

Flowing light is easy to throw people away, disabled Haitang, and understands the moonlight.

In the drizzle, there are bursts of floral fragrance, ups and downs.

Lin Shenlu looked at the boat that was already very close to him.

A black figure in a coir raincoat approached the shore.

The hunched figure picked up two baskets of flowers from the boat.

It is an old man.

The old man of the day.

"Uncle, what a coincidence?" Lin Shenlu stepped forward and smiled.

The old man put the flower basket on the stone and wiped the raindrops off his face.

"You kid? Why are you waiting for me here?" The old man was a little dazed.

"Borrow a cigarette first." Lin Shenlu stretched out his hand.

The old man took out a pack of cigarettes from his coir raincoat and handed it to Lin Shenlu.

The cigarette wasn't very good, but Lin Shenlu still took out one and lit it.

In the drizzle, the raindrops will wet the cigarette.

Comfortable.

"What are you up to?" Lin Shenlu asked curiously.

"Purchase flowers for the boss's house. I will plant them tomorrow morning. I have to hurry back." The old man also lit one.

The two of them stood in the drizzle and chatted without saying a word.

In the rain, An Muxi gently opened the curtains upstairs, looking at Lin Shenlu under the drizzle...

Wait, how did it become two people?

……

"My house is nearby, so I still have to go ashore here." The old man said after putting out his cigarette.

After Lin Shenlu asked curiously, the old man picked up the flower basket and prepared to go home.

Before leaving, Lin Shenlu asked the old man for a flower.

Lin Shenlu was in an inexplicably good mood.

The moment she turned around and raised her head, the curtains of An Muxi on the third floor shook.

Lin Shenlu smiled and entered the room.

An Muxi hid behind the wall, not knowing if she was seen by Lin Shenlu who was just below.

Coincidentally, I just wanted to see the Erhai Lake in the rainy night, who would have thought that the idiot was still in the rain.

An Muxi admitted that it was really boring to be alone in the house.

……

Lin Shenlu's room is next to An Muxi.

It's ready after lunch.

I remember that when I opened the room, I saw that the person in charge of this inn was a woman with a three or four-year-old child.

This is also what Lin Shenlu was curious about.

The owner of this inn really has a vision and chose such a place as an inn.

Even if no one lives there, I am happy every day here.

When Lin Shenlu walked into the room, he happened to see the child running in the hall on the first floor.

Behind him is the woman who registered herself.

"Huh? Why did you come back so early?" The woman looked up and saw Lin Shenlu who had just entered the room.

"Yeah, I went to the bar in the ancient city to drink all afternoon, and I was a little drunk, but I woke up after being caught in the rain just now." Lin Shenlu said with a smile.

"Sober up, that's easy, keep drinking, this time is just right, where is the little beauty with you at noon?" the woman hugged the running child and said.

"We're not together, she should be in the room."

"When you come to Dali, don't stay alone in the room at night." The woman said.

After a pause, the woman continued, "At least two people are needed."

There was a drop of sweat on Lin Shenlu's forehead... Maybe it was a raindrop on his hair.

"Sit down, I'll get the wine." The woman walked to the other side with the child in one hand.

Lin Shenlu sat on an empty seat inexplicably, and then waited quietly.

Soon, a small figure ran over, but it wasn't the woman but the child from just now.

The child suddenly stood beside Lin Shenlu, looking at the flowers in Lin Shenlu's hand.

This is a rose with a root.

The old man can plant them directly in the ground tomorrow after purchasing them.

Lin Shenlu had already shaken off the soil from the flower roots outside the door.

A pinkish-white rose with a small bone that has not yet bloomed.

"Do you like it?" Lin Shenlu asked the child with a smile.

The boy blinked his big eyes and looked up at Lin Shenlu and nodded.

Lin Shenlu was taken aback... This boy's eyes are so beautiful.

Leaving aside the beautiful boy carved from jade, why do these eyes have a faint gray brilliance?

Moreover, it seemed that some stars were turning in the pupils.

Such a young child should not wear colored contact lenses.

"I like it, brother, can you give it to me?" The boy smiled beautifully, two small dimples had been revealed.

"cannot……"

Lin Shenlu put the flowers aside, then patted the boy's head: "What's your name, boys don't play with flowers and plants, you have to play Transformers, that's right."

The boy took out a small car toy from his pocket, showed it to Lin Shenlu, and said, "My name is Xuxu, and this is my Autobot. He can transform."

Before Lin Shenlu could speak, someone beside him said, "Don't bully the children."

The voice is familiar.

Lin Shenlu tilted his head and saw that it was An Muxi.

This time, An Muxi was still wearing the hanging silk nightgown just now, but with a coat over her upper body.

Gently, An Muxi picked up the flowers on the side of the table and handed them to the boy.

"Take it and play with it." An Muxi said.

"Thank you sister, sister, you are so pretty." The boy named Xuxu took the flowers and turned around and ran away. Even the car just now fell into Lin Shenlu's hands.

"Hey, I gave you these flowers, so you gave them away like this?" Lin Shenlu was annoyed and funny.

"Give it to me, I'll give it away, do you have an opinion?" An Muxi looked at Lin Shenlu and asked.

Lin Shenlu waved his hands and said nothing.

Time was silent for five seconds.

An Muxi threw Lin Shenlu a bath towel from the side.

"Wipe your face."

Lin Shenlu had just been drenched in the rain, and his head and face were indeed a little wet.

"I can't stand your cold day and hot night, why do you care about me so much all of a sudden?" Lin Shenlu was really taken aback.

The story of seeing myself coming down to give myself bath towels in the rain at night is a bit subtle no matter how you look at it.

Could it be the prelude to the legendary story after the rain?
