Chapter 204

"Why do I have to read the newspaper while traveling?"

On the first-class seat of the high-speed train, Wang Quan looked at Luo Xiao helplessly.

It was already a week after his date with Ah Jiu.

Ever since he had bean bun, Wang Quan felt that his position in Ah Jiu's heart had suddenly dropped.

That little girl was now hanging around this cat every day. Was it that good to have a cat?

Shaking his head, Wang Quan looked at Luo Xiao next to him.

This girl was also very problematic.

Wang Quan originally thought that she wanted him to take her to a martial arts world, such as some kind of story where the saintess was abducted by a vagabond.

In the end, this lass actually dragged Wang Quan along for a vacation!

Was there something wrong with her head?

"Because I want to see the place where gongzi grew up."

Putting down the newspaper, the former saintess who had always had a low sense of presence smiled like a flower.

Wang Quan glanced at the headline of the newspaper — "Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Great Motherland."

"So you want to see Tiananmen? But the ticket we bought is to Shanghai. And I grew up in Luoyang. To be honest, I have never been to Beijing or Shanghai. "

"It doesn't matter ~" Luo Xiao hugged Wang Quan's arm and said coquettishly, "Just treat it as accompanying me ~ Gongzi, you said that tomorrow belongs to me."

"So you want me to take you on a trip a day in advance so that we can have half a day of time together, right?"

"Hey, hey ~"

"Tsk, indeed, I usually neglected you." Wang Quan knocked on her smooth forehead. "I'm sorry, I only had the intention to destroy you … So, I'm sorry."

"That's good."

Luo Xiao didn't care, "That world is a cage for me. My original fate was to be a sacrifice. The so-called saintess … is just a pitiful worm."

She tilted her head, "It was gongzi who saved me. Or rather, my fate was saved by gongzi. "

"No, I also want to thank you." Wang Quan leaned his head against her, "Thank you for letting me see that world."

"It's okay ~"

That being said, Luo Xiao was obviously in a good mood.

She leaned against Wang Quan and hummed an unknown song.

After listening for a while, Wang Quan asked, "What song is this? It's quite nice. "

"I don't know. It's a song I heard when I was young. It's probably a song that mothers use to coax their children."

Luo Xiao smiled, "I don't remember."

"Mhmm."

Wang Quan didn't ask any more questions and snuggled up to her.

It was as if only the two of them were left in the first-class compartment of the high-speed train.

In fact, there were only the two of them.

A few hours later.

It was raining cats and dogs by the Huangpu River.

Wang Quan and Luo Xiao sat on the top of the bridge with umbrellas in their hands, overlooking the misty night of the Bund.

The neon lights on the Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower, and the traffic lights under the bridge converged to form the Milky Way.

The raindrops hit the umbrella and wet the bottom of their pants, and the roar of the car engines and the noise of the city pressed on their ears.

The smell of rain mixed with the smell of soil entered their nostrils. The roar of car engines and the symphony of horns, coupled with the noise of the city, pressed against their ears.

The two of them leaned against each other quietly, enjoying the loneliness and warmth of the lonely island.

Just like that, the two of them quietly snuggled up to each other, enjoying the loneliness and warmth of this isolated island.

Luo Xiao leaned on Wang Quan's shoulder, her eyes reflecting the light like a tie.

Luo Xiao rested her head on Wang Quan's shoulder, her eyes reflecting the light of a ribbon.

"But after a long time, you will always feel that this place doesn't belong to you."

"But after a long time, you will feel like you don't belong here."

Wang Quan raised his hand and held onto the lights of the Bund. "It's too big. A city like this can't contain dregs of herbs."

Young people from other places who went to work in Shenzhen all had a similar feeling.

Young people working in Shenzhen in the early morning had a similar feeling.

They got off work in the early morning and walked home.

Looking up at the high and mighty skyscrapers, it was as if the sky was collapsing, making it hard for people to breathe.

There was no home for them here. They didn't belong here.

When they reached a certain age, they would leave, like the dried dregs.

Then the city would welcome the next batch of young people who were full of hope for the future, until they became dregs a few years later.

"It's different."

Luo Xiao's hair swayed from side to side. "They want to live, but in that world … everyone's biggest pursuit is survival."

"Sometimes I think …"

Luo Xiao murmured.

"Gongzi, if you don't want me anymore, will I blend into this reinforced concrete forest and become an ordinary person running around for a living?"

She stretched her hand out of the umbrella to catch the raindrops.

"If I'm alone now, I'll think …"

"Maybe it's raining there."

"Maybe it's sunny there."

"Maybe you're falling asleep with the rain in your room."

"Perhaps, young master, you're somewhere looking up at the rainy night sky just like me.

"But when I think of this, I can't breathe … My heart hurts."

Wang Quan looked down at her hand covering her chest and said softly, "You're covering your right chest."

Luo Xiao was speechless.

"You're so insensitive, but …" She suddenly smiled. "I'm a mythical creature. I don't have a heart because I only have you in my heart."

Wang Quan was speechless.

Damn!

What a cheesy love talk!

Fortunately, Wang Quan was experienced and knowledgeable. Otherwise, he would have been toyed with by this woman like poor Tom.

"It's too hot." Wang Quan threw away the umbrella and let the rain wash over his body. "Luo, you're so good at it …"

Luo Xiao tilted her head and smiled in the rain. "Gongzi, I'm so cold. Can we take a bath together at the hotel?"

Looking at the smiling girl, Wang Quan's entire body went numb.

…

The numbness lasted for a whole day.

They didn't arrive at the capital until the early morning of the third day.

They arrived at Tiananmen Square at three o 'clock.

Today was the flag raising ceremony for the 100th anniversary. They arrived early, so they stood at the front.

The rain was still pattering. Looking down from the sky, more and more umbrellas gathered in the square. They gathered around Wang Quan and Luo Xiao, gradually filling up the entire square.

The sky in the east turned white. The rain stopped just in time.

Putting away the umbrellas, the national flag raising ceremony began.

Accompanied by the national anthem, no one made a sound.

After the flag was raised, the cannons were fired. Before the sky brightened, fireworks were set off in the sky.

"Gongzi, do you like me?"

Wang Quan lowered his head and looked at Luo Xiao's face that was reflected in the fireworks. He said softly, "I like it."

"Then why do you like me?"

"You don't need a reason to like someone."

"Really?"

Really?

Wang Quan was also thinking about this.

Looking at Luo Xiao's face, the Wang Quan from half a year ago was faintly discernible in the shadow called confusion. He looked at Wang Quan with envy.

In fact, he had changed a lot.

He used to sleep until he woke up naturally. Now, every morning, Luo Xiao would wake him up in all kinds of ways.

The house used to be full of dust because he didn't clean it often. Now, every day, Luo Xiao would diligently clean it for fun.

He used to not cut his hair for three months and not shave his beard for half a month. Now, every month, Luo Xiao would cut his hair and shave his beard for him.

He used to only have one meal a day, and it was instant noodles or takeaway. Now, every day, Luo Xiao would be busy in the kitchen. Other than Ye Shengge who often helped, the family just had to wait for their meals.

He used to watch the news while eating alone. Now, every night, the family would sit together to watch movies or catch up on dramas.

He was no longer the old Wang Quan who had no idea what his future would be like.

At that time, he had no family and few friends.

Now, he still had few friends, but the number of contacts in his phone book was gradually increasing.

Moreover … he had a family.

So he tightened his grip on Luo Xiao's hand and said gently, "Because you made me better."

Then he asked, "What about you? Do you really like me? "

"Yes."

"What do you like about me?"

Luo Xiao opened her mouth and said something.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the fireworks were dazzling and covered her voice.

But Wang Quan still heard it.

"Because … you are my gongzi …"
