Falling in love with you through the clouds

05 past tense

That night, I finally went to Hanjun's house, and Lu Snake was with me; I never thought that Hanjun rented such a big apartment!It should be said to be a family room.Usually, three or four people work together to rent, but he has such financial resources!

I asked his parents why he was willing to let him rent this kind of house, and he just smiled and said that if someone needs to live in his house, it is very convenient for practicing or having a party.Indeed, even if it's just two bedrooms and one living room, it's better than the student suite in my nest.

Probably because Lu Snake and we are both in the same class, we get along without the pressure and restraint of the seniors on the juniors, and it is very easy to chat.We cooked sand tea hot pot and watched a movie after we were full. After watching it, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. Coincidentally, it was raining heavily outside, so Han Jun asked us to sleep here.

"I didn't bring any clothes!"

"Wear mine!" He said jokingly, and then changed his words and said that it can be washed directly in the washing machine, and it is OK to spin and dry once. I was persuaded by him like this.

After washing off the smell of hot pot, we fought each other and went to bed until we were a little tired from talking; I lay on him and closed my eyes to rest, he patted my back lightly, and then gently called my name.

"Xiaoning."

"Huh?" I managed to open my eyes, my stomach was still a little full, and it wasn't very comfortable to lie on my stomach, but I was very satisfied in my heart.

Compared with the common "Xiaoxiao" in Mermaid, I prefer to be his Xiaoning.

"What do you think of my singing?"

Are you asking about the time when you replaced the lead singer? "Do you want to hear the truth?"

He sounded a little frustrated, "You mean I can't sing well?"

Pouted, I shook my head and said, "No! I like your singing voice very much. Even if the range is a little narrow, it is as enthusiastic as when you play the guitar; your voice is a little hoarse, but very Recognition, that is, having its own characteristics; it's just..."

"Just what?" I was surprised by the extent to which he listened attentively; after all, I am an outsider who can't play or sing, but he obviously values ​​me more than I imagined.

"Hey, my opinion is not professional, why are you so serious..."

"No way! I just want to hear your opinion, but what?"

"I don't think there are many songs that are suitable for you. If someone is willing to help you produce, you can show your true strength... Maybe so."

He hugged me and didn't speak for a long, long time. I waited until my eyelids were about to fall off; he let me lie next to him, and it wasn't until later that I vaguely heard him ask again: "... making, myself... what do you think... "

I was so tired that I couldn't hear clearly, it was him slapping my face that woke me up a little. "ah?"

"What do you think?"

Something... I yawned and moved closer to him. "It's all right... I want to sleep..."

He was silent for a while, and finally whispered "Go to sleep" in my ear.

*

When I woke up, I still couldn't remember what he asked me.

But nothing special happened between the man-mask fish and him or me afterwards. I went to Plato a few times after that, and even went to Layi Pavilion together!Going in and out of the backstage is also very common, so I feel relieved.

One day when the show was over, Han Jun sent me home. It was rare for him to think of doing homework!The mid-term exam is coming up next week, and he has to rush to his classmate's house to make up for his exegesis, so he just rode away; I watched his car lights go away, and the reluctance surged in my heart in an instant... It was obviously only a temporary separation , I don’t know why I feel bitter in my heart?

I always feel that after dating, whether it is emotionally or practically, I am more dependent on Hanjun than before; I hope he can pay more attention to me, can shorten the distance between two people, and can often stay together...

Why!No matter how long he looks at it, he won't suddenly look back!I managed to cheer up and went upstairs, and when I passed the second floor, I heard the sound of the iron door opening.

It's Sister Tao! "Sister Tao, are you back?" I don't know why, but seeing her appear makes me very happy; I feel that there is someone by my side...

Yu Xiaoning!When did you become so afraid of being alone?

Sister Tao is still carrying a big backpack, she should have just come back. "Xiaoning? I saw you as soon as I came back. What a coincidence!"

"That's right..." After she opened the iron door, she didn't rush into the room, and I saw a camera hanging around her neck. "Where did you take the photo this time?"

Since she moved in across the street, we met each other in the first few days going up and down the stairs; she went to eat the ramen shop and teppanyaki I introduced, and would chat with me about her experience!I immediately got closer to this big beauty who was easy to get along with.

But after all, she is a backpacker. I just heard today where she plans to travel, and then I will leave the next day, and then disappear for a few days before returning; I have never had a chance to have a good chat with Sister Tao.

By the way, I found out after chatting with her that she is already 28 years old. After graduating from university, she did not continue her education, but stubbornly relied on her camera to make a living—that’s all she said.

"I went to the snow mountain...and then I came back to talk to my friends."

"Snow mountain! Seems like fun."

She smiled, "If there is a chance next time, how about I take you for a walk?"

"Sister Tao, are you serious?"

"Of course you have to be interested in the itinerary... But it also depends on the opportunity; my itinerary is not limited to Taiwan, but also abroad." She patted the shoulder strap of her backpack, "If you are interested, we will talk later? I will first Put your equipment away."

"Ah! I forgot... I'm sorry!" I just pestered her and talked, but I didn't expect her to carry such a heavy thing.

I also walked in the door right away, and before I had time to imagine how to travel, I turned on the light, and a strange "foreign object" on the floor immediately scared me silly!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"There is—spider—spider!"

*

Where on earth did this strange and terrifying furry octopus monster appear in my room?

I was so frightened by the sudden appearance of ugly insects that my face turned pale, and the sister Tao next door rushed over, and before I even took off my coat, I pushed him in front of me to fight against the "foreign enemy"!

"What's wrong! What did you see..."

"That's it! The one crawling on the ground...wow! It crawled to the guitar!" That's Han Jun's thing!Ruined!

"Is there a broom or something?"

"At, at, at the corner..." There is a distance from the door, and if you want to get it, you have to go around it... What if it suddenly crawls on me when I pass by?

Sister Tao put her arms around my shoulders, and blocked my view with her left hand, "It doesn't matter, this one is not poisonous, you should be able to grab it directly."

What?Grab directly? "Sister Tao, what are you talking about! Don't do stupid things!"

"I've caught even bigger ones! It's no problem." Having said that, she still touched an L clip casually, picked it up very skillfully and carefully, and put it next to the window.

"It's all right." She flushed the folder with water and smiled warmly when she came back to me.

"Really? Will it come back to my room again..." I pointed to the window, and looked at the place where I found it just after entering the door; even though it was gone, I still felt hairy!

"No, if I come back, I will have to kill myself." She stared at me, as if making a silent promise.I couldn't hold back the tears; she suddenly smiled as she reached out to wipe them away, "Say...you just screamed out of fear, maybe the whole apartment heard it!"

"Because... because it's really scary!" I was so embarrassed that I blushed.

"Okay! Are you okay now? I haven't finished packing my things, so I'll go back first. Call me if you have any other questions?"

I took a deep breath, then nodded, and couldn't help feeling that it was so reliable to have her here, she must be Spider-Woman!You can actually catch it without killing it, it's too strong!

But Sister Tao just walked away, but I felt a lingering fear, and I was still a little trembling when I took out my phone and wallet from the bag...

Just when I was going to wash my hands, there was a strange "rustling" sound from the corner!Woo!What is it?

First, first!I’m not afraid of Xiaoqiang. I, I’ve lived outside alone for three years, and I’ve personally beaten [-] or [-] Xiaoqiang. If it wasn’t for that spider just now, it’s too big, hairy and ugly. In fact, I, In fact, you can solve it by yourself...

"rustle"!Woo!what exactly is it?I grabbed my floor shoes and tiptoed close to the trash can. Just as I was about to pull up the lid to check, a brown thing jumped out of the mouth of the bucket. The moment I lifted the slippers, it flapped its wings and directly Fly towards my face!

"Sister Tao—!"

***

The beauty in front of me who is always elegant and calm, with intellectual beauty, actually laughed out loud in front of me, and laughed so much that she was lying on the bed with her feet up in the air, what kind of trick...

"You laugh too exaggeratedly..."

"I'm sorry... haha... what did you just say? Say it again?"

"Xiaoqiang who can fly is completely different from Xiaoqiang who is crawling..."

Sister Tao laughed again!I pursed my lips, now I am in her room, I have no choice but to wait for her to finish laughing.

"Oh...Xiaoning you...you are so funny!" She finally sat on the bed and wiped her tears—I was so scared that I cried, but she laughed until I burst into tears! "Hey...so tired, huh! Well, anyway, the dog is closed now, you just wait, take a rest by my side; I just moved in, and I won't eat in the room, you can rest assured."

"Close the door and let the dogs go" means that I went to the convenience store urgently to buy hookah-style insecticide, and I am currently smoking it. It will take several hours to go back anyway.

"I'm sorry to bother you." I sat on the small single sofa specially set up by Sister Tao, quietly watching her pack her luggage.

"It's okay, I just said that you can come to me at any time if you have any questions... Besides, you have helped me a lot, haven't you?" Sister Tao smiled back, taking off her coat, she is now wearing only a gray cotton A high-quality vest, revealing slender but strong hands, and a handsome male watch.

"I'm just providing life information, how can it be like you helping me drive away spiders and catch Xiaoqiang?"

"Providing life information is also very important!" She packed her dirty clothes, probably to be sent to the bottom to be washed in a coin-operated washing machine; To a package of rations that have not been opened.

Rao is that these things are very important, but the most important thing is her camera.

"Sister Tao." I'm actually very curious about backpackers, probably because of the travel log I saw?I happen to have one right in front of me, so why not take the opportunity to have a good chat? "Are you all traveling alone?"

"Mostly; occasionally when I go abroad or go to other places, I will meet local friends and establish some friendships, but apart from hiring a guide, most of the time I am alone." She knelt by the bed, lowered her head and operated the camera, probably to check photo?

"Don't you feel bored? And it's a bit dangerous for a girl to travel alone..."

"That depends on how you play. So far, I have encountered thieves, and I have been trapped in the mountains for a night or two, but none of them are life-threatening."

"Then how do you make money? Traveling like this now...do you have any income?" Unknowingly, we talked about very realistic questions.

"I'm living off the savings from my previous job! Besides...traveling didn't cost as much as I imagined, and the reason why I went back to Taiwan this time is because finally a magazine wanted to talk to me about column writing, and they also planned to take my few days Years of experience was written into a book and published, so I finally started to earn some income." She sighed contentedly, and put her precious camera on the bed.

She wandered to the refrigerator and asked me what I wanted to drink; I didn't want to drink any more Coke, but I heard her say, "Are you sure you don't want to drink? I bought black tea and milk tea."

In an instant, I realized that she prepared this for me? "Then... thanks for the milk tea!" Since it was her kindness, of course I couldn't bear to refuse it!

Drinking sweet milk tea, I feel that the frightened emotions have finally calmed down; Sister Tao in front of me is still drinking beer, she is still wearing boots, tight-fitting leather pants to set off her good figure, not to mention her feet are still upright, even in the weather It's a little cold, but she still only wears a cotton vest.

Such a girl is inexplicably handsome?

Suddenly very curious, curious about the things she said before, including her school experience. "Sister Tao said before that you live off your camera."

"Yeah! Since graduation, I just bought my first high-end camera."

"But I still don't get it. You say you're finally going to start earning money, but you say you're living off your savings."

Sister Tao glanced away, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little dignified; but it didn't last long, the corners of her lips curled up, she took a sip of beer and said, "I used to help other people take wedding dresses, and I was a wedding photographer."

Women Wedding Photographers!Sounds cool! "So you have taken a lot of wedding photos?"

"Well, I just graduated, and I didn't know the heights of the world. I refused the family's financial support, and I didn't want to go home to work, so I stepped into the wedding photography studio of the friend group." , "... At that time, I was very busy. I used to work for 25 days without a break!"

I only know that wedding photographers are very busy, but I didn't expect to be able to do this! "Sister Tao has a business at home?"

"Well, yes, but I don't like it." She raised her head and drank the rest of the beer, a slight blush appeared on her fair face. "In short, I made a lot of money at that time."

"If that's the case, why change it?"

"Because something happened, is it an entanglement? Also, it's true that I also like to travel; wedding photographers don't have anywhere to go, I just love photography, and switching from shooting wedding dresses to backpacking around is just a change The subject of the photo."

Sister Tao described the process calmly.

However, just by imagining it, I feel that there is a big difference. The goal has changed from happy newcomers to natural or cultural landscapes...from busy work to free and casual travel.The gap between them cannot be exhausted by "changing the subject of the photo".

"It's so hard to imagine, wedding photographer..." I couldn't help but look at the big beauty in front of me, imagining how she would take pictures of the couple with a camera in hand. "Ah... that's right! Sister Tao, since you have photographed wedding dresses, can you..." Help me take photos with Han Jun...

"Sorry, Xiaoning, I don't take pictures for people anymore!"

A smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Sister Tao's refusal came too decisively.

Decisive almost broke my heart.

"why?"

She closed her eyes, "The set of wedding dresses I took before I left my job was the last time in my life; since then, I have made up my mind not to deliberately capture people's appearances and smiles... My camera will never be the same again. Shooting at people, so...sorry."

She was carrying the empty wine bottle and the camera to the toilet. I looked at Sister Tao's slender and beautiful back, and for some reason, I suddenly felt——

very lonely.
