Chapter 40
On the banks of the Huahe River, a lot of stalls have been set up, and they are connected together, some selling moon cakes, some selling portable lanterns, and some selling glow sticks.
During the holidays, the Student Work Party is on holiday, and many people gather on the banks of the Huahe River, which is very lively.
Cheng Nan and Shen Chenxi got out of the car, they were swayed by the surrounding atmosphere, and their mood was high.
Shen Chenxi led Cheng Nan into the crowd and looked at the stalls one by one.
Cheng Nan allowed Shen Chenxi to run around and followed behind her with a smile.
Soon, Shen Chenxi stopped in front of a booth, she grabbed Cheng Nan’s arm, her eyes were shining, and she happily pointed to the things on the booth.
Cheng Nan looked and saw that this was a DIY handmade lantern shop, and the booth was full of materials needed to make lanterns.
“Do you want to make your own lanterns?” Cheng Nan asked while looking at the materials.
Shen Chenxi kept nodding her head, looking very interested.
Cheng Nan raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was only seven o’clock in the evening, and there was still time.
Cheng Nan: “It’s still early, so let’s make two lanterns.”
After some inquiries with the store, Cheng Nan took Shen Chenxi to buy a fan-shaped and hexagonal resin frame, and bought several sheets of pure white rice paper, glue, hemp rope, light strings, hand poles and other materials. table and start making.
Cheng Nan had a headache looking at the pure white rice paper placed on the table. She has no artistic skills, at most she can draw a stickman, no more.
Shen Chenxi sat on the low stool, took half of the rice paper and placed it in front of Cheng Nan’s desk, gave Cheng Nan a pen, and then began to draw with his head down.
Cheng Nan couldn’t hold the pen for a long time. She really didn’t know how to draw. Cheng Nan planned to learn from Shen Chenxi’s painting in an open and fair manner. With a few strokes, a cute and rounded rabbit appeared on the rice paper.
Cheng Nan sighed that as expected of learning painting, he was much better than himself.
Cheng Nan originally thought that Shen Chenxi was just drawing a rabbit, but she looked at Shen Chenxi’s brushes and sketched a few strokes. The original rabbit was actually held in her arms by a woman with long hair. With a few hairpins on it, she hugged the rabbit and looked at a fairy mountain in the distance.
Cheng Nan’s eyes didn’t turn, did she just miss something?
Aren’t you drawing rabbits? How was this woman drawn? !
Cheng Nan’s eyes were full of curiosity and shock. She put the pen directly on the table, got up and went behind Shen Chenxi, watching her painting quietly.
On the top of the immortal mountain, Shen Chenxi drew a few vertical lines, which made Cheng Nan very puzzled. She didn’t know what she was trying to draw. As a result, she drew a hairpin in the next stroke. It turned out to be the hair, and then the face…
There was no detailed painting, just a few strokes, but the scene of longing for his return appeared in front of Cheng Nan’s eyes.
Shen Chenxi wrote a few English letters scx next to the long-haired woman holding a rabbit, and then wrote cn next to the woman above the fairy mountain.
Shen Chenxi put down the pen, turned to look at Cheng Nan behind him, raised the rice paper and smiled brightly at her.
Cheng Nan silently gave a thumbs up: “You are too powerful, how did you draw it!”
Shen Chenxi’s almond eyes narrowed with laughter when she heard the words, very happy.
Cheng Nan walked back to his seat silently, looking at the paper, unable to start.
Did Shen Chenxi paint rabbits first and then people?
Cheng Nan thought hard, and finally she planned to let herself go. After all, she still drew a stickman, but this time she drew two stickman holding hands and a round moon.
Cheng Nan looked at his painting and showed a satisfied smile.
Shen Chenxi drew six sheets of rice paper and glued them to the hexagonal lantern. Cheng Nan was lazy and chose the fan-shaped lantern first, and only spent two stick figures.
The two glued them together, put a small light bulb in it, pressed the button, and the lantern turned on.
Shen Chenxi held up the small lantern she made and looked at it happily. The paintings on the rice paper were clearly illuminated by the lights inside.
Cheng Nan glanced at his fan-shaped lantern and held it low with a calm expression, never raising it.
Cheng Nan: … shameful.
Shen Chenxi stopped suddenly, and Cheng Nan also stopped and looked at her suspiciously, but saw Shen Chenxi turned to look at her with a smile, then put the handle of his hexagonal lantern into Cheng Nan’s hand, and then took it. Went to Cheng Nan’s fan-shaped lantern.
Cheng Nan said dumbly: “Are you trying to exchange with me? But I don’t draw well, I’m ugly…”
Shen Chenxi tilted her head and smiled, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Nan: [You don’t give me the lantern you made by yourself, do you want to give it to someone else? 】
Cheng Nan immediately denied it when he saw it: “How is it possible, I will give it to you if I want it!”
Shen Chenxi smiled even bigger when she heard the words: [Okay, I accept the lantern you gave, in exchange, I will give you my lantern, you can’t lose it~]
Cheng Nan smiled after seeing it, how could his little girlfriend be so caring and lovable.
“Okay, definitely protect it.” Cheng Nan smiled.
Shen Chenxi: [You put it on the bedside table, you will think of me every time you see it in the future, you’d better send me a message~~]
Shen Chenxi took the opportunity to find a reason for Cheng Nan to contact her.
Cheng Nan was amused: “Then why don’t I turn off my phone for 24 hours. After all, I can see this lantern in the bedroom when I open my eyes.”
Shen Chenxi: [Okay, I’ll pay you the phone bill, feel free to send me a message, I’ll pay for the phone bill (cover your mouth and laugh)]
Cheng Nan: “Yes, see me at the hospital in a few days.”
Shen Chenxi laughed silently, put away the phone, held Cheng Nan in one hand and the ugly lantern painted by Cheng Nan in the other, and walked briskly on the bank of the Flower River.
In the evening, the two returned home with two boxes of moon cakes and two lanterns.
After urging Wang Cuicui to go back to the room to rest, they both took a bath and slept together quietly.
Cheng Nan put the two lanterns on the bedside table, turned off the lights in the room, and then lay in bed and hugged Shen Chenxi.
The two lanterns were lit in the whole room, Shen Chenxi glanced at Cheng Nan, got up to turn off the lights of the two lanterns, and was hugged by Cheng Nan, unable to get up.
Cheng Nan teased Shen Chenxi: “Don’t you say you should keep them on the bedside table and look at them all the time. Naturally, you have to turn on the light.”
Shen Chenxi:…
While the two were playing around, Shen Chenxi’s cell phone suddenly rang, and someone called Shen Chenxi.
Both of them were a little confused. Not many had Shen Chenxi’s phone number. Most of them knew that she was dumb, and they usually chose to text her instead of calling.
Cheng Nan leaned over to help Shen Chenxi take the mobile phone from the bedside table, only to see that the caller on the mobile phone display was [Jiang Yichen].
The smile on Cheng Nan’s face faded, she handed the phone to Shen Chenxi, only to see that Shen Chenxi’s expression suddenly became indifferent when she saw the caller, she picked up the phone and looked at the screen for a while, then rolled over and got out of bed to take it. He walked out of the room with his phone.
Cheng Nan propped up his upper body and leaned against the head of the bed, looking at the door.
What is inconvenient to answer in the room, and need to go out to answer?
Shen Chenxi didn’t come back for a long time, she closed the door and walked silently to the bed, took off her shoes and went to bed to lie down in Cheng Nan’s arms.
Seeing that her expression was not quite right, Cheng Nan put his arms around her and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Chenxi didn’t nod or shake her head, she buried her head on Cheng Nan’s chest, hugged Cheng Nan tightly with her arms, and said nothing.
Seeing that she didn’t want to say anything, Cheng Nan didn’t ask her, reached out and turned off the two lanterns on the bedside table, hugged Shen Chenxi and closed his eyes.
“toot”
After an unknown time, Cheng Nan felt her phone vibrate a few times. She picked up the phone in a daze and saw that it was a message from Shen Chenxi.
Shen Chenxi: [I have a flight at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning, and I will be leaving at 6 o’clock. 】
Cheng Nan’s sleepiness disappeared immediately, her eyes widened suddenly, and she lowered her head to meet Shen Chenxi, who had been staring at her all the time.
Cheng Nan spoke in a hurry: “Are you leaving tomorrow morning? Where are you going?”
Shen Chenxi pursed her lips, took the phone and sent a message: [Yes, the plane tomorrow morning, go to Beijing. 】
Cheng Nan frowned: “Why are you going to Beijing?”
Shen Chenxi was silent for a while, then pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled towards Cheng Nan: [Going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father was on a business trip before, and I had nowhere to go. Now that he is back, I hope I can spend time with him in the past. 】
Cheng Nan was a little disappointed. She said in a low voice, “Do you have to go? Can’t you stay with my grandmother and me this year?”
Shen Chenxi suddenly felt her eyes were sore, she tried her best to keep her eyes open and not let herself cry in front of Cheng Nan.
Shen Chenxi: [I will accompany you every year in the future. He rarely comes back this year, so I’ll go back. 】
Cheng Nan had always been unclear about Shen Chenxi’s family situation, she had no right to speak, and finally nodded reluctantly.
Cheng Nan took Shen Chenxi into his arms, rubbed Shen Chenxi’s hair, and said in a low voice, “Okay, let’s go to bed earlier, and I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, Cheng Nan picked up his mobile phone and started to book a car. The plane at 8 o’clock will leave at 6 o’clock at the latest, so it is better to book a car early, otherwise it will be difficult to call a car early in the morning.
Shen Chenxi was very moved when she saw Cheng Nan earnestly looking for someone to help her book a car in Cheng Nan’s arms.
After making an appointment for the car, Cheng Nan said to her, “The car has an appointment. We will go downstairs at six o’clock tomorrow morning. Can we set the alarm clock for 5:30 to get up?”
Shen Chenxi’s eyes were red, she suddenly stretched out her hands to wrap Cheng Nan’s neck, raised her chin and kissed it.
Cheng Nan kissed Shen Chenxi and let go of her, hugged her and asked, “Are you hungry?”
Shen Chenxi touched her stomach, as if a little…
No, Cheng Nan is so puzzled! Is it a question of whether you are hungry now? !
However, her girlfriend suggested that she would naturally nod her head in cooperation.
Cheng Nan smiled and hugged her to get up and go to the kitchen to cook noodles late at night.
My girlfriend is too skinny, she needs to be fed a little fatter.
Cheng Nan carried Shen Chenxi to the kitchen before putting it down, rolled up his sleeves and asked, “What would you like to eat?”
Shen Chenxi was not hungry at first, but seeing that Cheng Nan’s nature was extremely high, he opened the refrigerator and took out fruit and yogurt, intending to let Cheng Nan get some good digestion, so that he would not sleep well at night.
Cheng Nan: …she originally wanted to make two bowls of fried rice. She recently watched a video to learn how to make delicious egg fried rice.
After eating fruit yogurt, the two engaged in a healthy exercise.
This love movement lasted for a long time, and Cheng Nan also carefully hugged Shen Chenxi to the toilet and took a bath together before the two fell asleep.
Cheng Nan thought to himself that he was going to wear high-necked clothes during this time…
When the alarm clock went off, Shen Chenxi woke up and found that there was no one in the bed next door. She got up to look for it, and finally found Cheng Nan in the kitchen.
It was still dark, and Cheng Nan was only cooking noodles with the kitchen light on. When he finished cooking, he turned around to grab a bowl and found Shen Chenxi standing at the door of the kitchen.
Cheng Nan urged: “Go wash up quickly, come over for breakfast later, and then go to the car after breakfast.”
When Shen Chenxi came out after washing up, Cheng Nan had already brought two bowls of noodles on the dining table, with two moon cakes in the middle.
Cheng Nan: “Hurry up, I’ve packed your things, we’ll go directly to the airport after you eat.”
Shen Chenxi blinked in shock and sent a message to Cheng Nan: [You didn’t sleep last night? 】
Cheng Nan denied: [Sleep, but got up a little earlier than you, eat quickly, there is no time. 】
Cheng Nan didn’t sleep at all at night. It was three in the morning when the two of them finished that work. She simply got up and went to tidy up things for Shen Chenxi. Then she found that there was nothing in the house, so she went to the wholesale department at night. Buy groceries, eggs, noodles, and come back to cook breakfast.
Shen Chenxi is not stupid, she naturally knew that Cheng Nan had not slept all night, her eyes were sore, and she was moved a little to cry, but she held back and ate the noodles that Cheng Nan cooked for her silently.
Cheng Nan ate faster than Shen Chenxi, so she changed into a set of clothes and covered the teeth marks on her neck with a Band-Aid.
Then he carried his luggage and led Shen Chenxi out of the house to the airport.
Cheng Nan had never been to this airport, but she prepared a strategy last night and learned how to get a ticket and board the plane.
In front of the security checkpoint, Shen Chenxi hugged Cheng Nan tightly for a long time, and finally walked into the security checkpoint at the urging of Cheng Nan and disappeared in front of Cheng Nan.
When Cheng Nan returned home with breakfast, Wang Cuicui was just knocking on her door and was a little surprised to see her coming back from outside.
“You and Xixi went out early in the morning? Why did you come back, what about Xixi?”
Cheng Nan put breakfast on the dining table, walked over, bent over and hugged Wang Cuicui, and whispered, “Grandma, I’m the only one who will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you this year.”
