Licheng Twilight

Chapter 70

After drinking traditional Chinese medicine for more than ten days, Ye Tianche's throat not only showed no signs of improvement, but even the intermittent duck-like yelling that he usually had on weekdays disappeared.

At that time, the two had already arrived in Qingdao, and Mu Mu was worried that Ye Tianche's condition would suddenly deteriorate. He wanted to go back and look for licorice, but he refused for two reasons. Two, if the licorice is not good, it is useless to go back, but it will only increase her guilt.

Mu Mu thought for a while, and felt that what he said made some sense, and since he insisted on refusing, she would not be able to kidnap such a living person, so she had to wait patiently for a few more days to observe.

Near the end of the new year, Su's mother made N calls to ask Mu Mu when she would come back, and Roy also called one a day to ask, and every day her sister called in a sad tone.After all, the boy was spending his first year in China, and he was definitely uneasy. Mu Mu comforted him on the phone for a while, and felt that he had to go back for sure.

After discussing with Ye Tianche, both of them felt that it is better to book a flight back to Licheng first, but unexpectedly encountered a heavy snowstorm, all southbound flights at the airport were grounded, and they couldn't leave at all.

After worrying for a few days, I couldn't find a solution, so I had to call first and go back to tell my mother. Mother Su sighed several times before she said "Oh" to show that she knew.

Since there was no way to go back, the two simply wandered around Qingdao.They didn't take a car, and the two of them just walked along the street. Qingdao in winter is still very beautiful, red tiles and green trees, sea and sky mountain city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, neat and clean streets, towering trees, the whole city is quiet and elegant.All kinds of European-style buildings stand on both sides, making it dizzying. It feels as if you are in a foreign land, full of different styles everywhere. This place really lives up to the reputation of "Sea City, Eurasian Style".

The two of them turned around along the coastline and went to the trestle bridge in the middle of the sea, which is also the source of the so-called "Changhong Yuanyin" and "Feige Huilan". In the distance, the white lighthouses on Xiaoqingdao are patchwork. Various buildings on the side are unevenly distributed on the slopes of the cape, and on the west side, modern high-rise buildings rise up close to the coast.The breakwater along the coast is built of granite, more than ten meters above the water surface.When the tide is high, the water beats against the dike, stirring up large clusters of snow-white waves. After the tide recedes, ocher rocks and golden sands emerge from the water, and the beach is covered with shells.

Seeing the sea for the first time, Mu Mu excitedly went straight to the beach to pick up shells. Ye Tianche held her hand, shook his head without discussion, and gestured, "No, the sea is too cold. Wait until summer. Let's come again."

Mu Mu withdrew her feet resentfully, Ye Tianche saw it, quickly diverted her attention, and dragged her to the Polar Ocean Park to see dolphins.

Finally, I went to the most famous Badaguan. "The main avenues of Badaguan are named after the eight famous passes, namely Shaoguan Road, Jiaguguan Road, Hanguguan Road, Zhengyangguan Road, Linhuaiguan Road, Ningwuguan Road, Zijingguan Road, and Juyongguan Road. The characteristic of Badaguan is that it integrates parks and courtyards," Mu Mu walked backwards in front of Ye Tianche, explaining one by one from memory.

Ye Tianche gestured and asked her how she knew so clearly.

Mu Mu raised her eyebrows, "It's written in the geography books I've read before."

Ye Tianche sweated.

Mu Mu ignored his reaction, pulled him forward, pointed to the lush trees and blooming flowers on the side of the road, and said, "The most interesting thing about Badaguan is that these roads are planted with flowers that bloom all year round. Flowers, and street trees are also of different varieties. For example, the Shaoguan Road is full of green peaches, but they bloom in spring; the Zhengyang Road is planted with crape myrtle, which blooms in summer; ;So we can only go to Zijingguan Road, where cedar is planted, and by the way, there is also Ningwuguan Road, where there are crabapple flowers. Because there are flowers here all year round, so everyone calls it "Flower Street" .”

As Mu Mu spoke, her voice became quieter, looking around as if she was looking for something, Ye Tianche took a step forward and held her hand, there was a lot of people here, it would be troublesome if the two of them got separated later.

Mu Mu didn't care too much, and muttered to herself, she should be here, why can't she find it.

"Ah, I found it, Love Corner," Mu Mu exclaimed excitedly, and turned to Ye Tianche and said, "This is the southwest corner of Badaguan, because green cypresses are planted between the roads, and pairs of green cypresses are separated from each other. Open, just like a box."

Ye Tianche glanced around, and smiled meaningfully, as expected, they were all couples, and the atmosphere was really good.

Turning to look at Mu Mu, the child was studying what is so special about this green cypress, but he lost interest after a while, and pulled Ye Tianche away, "It's not interesting at all, let's go to the Golden Beach while the weather is getting better Let's see."

Ye Tianche's black line, looking at Mu Mu's expression is a bit forbearing, this green cypress is naturally boring, you have to look at me, the love corner is for dating, not for sightseeing.

The New Year's Eve is coming soon, but I still haven't been able to go back.

The city was full of joy to welcome the New Year. Mu Mu and Ye Tianche played outside all day, and they were so tired that they didn't want to move at all. At night, they simply rented a disc and watched it on the sofa of the hotel.

It was the nonsensical Hong Kong comedy "Journey to the West". Although it was more than ten years ago, and it was not the first time for the two of them to watch it, they still couldn't help laughing.

Luo Jiaying's out-of-print "onlyyou", the shocking love triangle between the Bull Demon King, Iron Fan and Monkey King, and Tang Seng's invincible long-winded.

Tang Seng said, "Wukong, you are so naughty. I told you not to throw things around. It's wrong to throw things around. Why did you throw the stick away before I finished talking? The Moonlight Box is a treasure, and throwing things around will harm you." What if it pollutes the environment and hits the children? Even if it doesn’t hit the children, it’s not good to hit the flowers.”

Wukong reached out and grabbed one end of the Moonlight Treasure Box, and Tang Seng said, "What are you doing?" Wukong gritted his teeth, "Let go!" I will give it to you, of course I will not give it to you if you want it, how will I know what you want if you don’t tell me, it’s impossible that if you say you want it, I won’t give it to you, if you say you don’t want it, I will give it to you, now I'll count to three, and you're going to tell me if you want to—"

Mu Mu laughed out of breath, and fell on Ye Tianche's shoulder who was also laughing loudly.

After the funny is tenderness, Bodhi said to Monkey King, "When you passed out, the name Jingjing was called 98 times."

Sun Wukong smiled and explained, "Jingjing is my wife."

Bodhi continued, "There is another one named Zixia, you called 780 four times."

Sun Wukong? !
Bodhi understood, and said seriously, "780 four times, this Zixia must owe you a lot of money."

Then there was what Zixia said in Sun Wukong's arms before she died. She said, "The person I like is a hero of the world. One day he will step on the clouds of seven colors to marry me. I guessed it right, but I Can't guess the ending."

In the end, Sun Wukong used other people's bodies to kiss Zixia's last kiss on the city wall, and used other people's bodies to make a lifetime promise to his beloved.

After all, it is a perfect tragedy.

The two leaned against each other quietly. After a long silence, Mu Mu suddenly turned her head and asked, "Ye Tianche, do you owe anyone money?"

Ye Tianche naturally understood what she meant, reached out, clasped her waist, hugged the child and sat on her lap, resting his chin on the top of her hair, stretched out his hand without thinking, dipped his fingers in the tea in the cup, and wrote directly on the coffee table, "I Maybe since the last life, I owe you money."

He wrote stroke by stroke very slowly and earnestly. As Mu Mu looked at it, a cloud of fog suddenly formed in her eyes. She blinked her eyes with great effort, turned around and buried her head in his arms, and finally Can't help but giggle.

After ordering a sumptuous dinner, the two of them just sat on the carpet and ordered a bottle of red wine. Mu Mu raised his glass and clinked with him lightly, "Happy New Year." She smiled brightly, even though there were only two of them , but she didn't feel lonely at all, with him by her side and everything he gave, she felt very happy.

Ye Tianche took a sip of the red wine, his eyes under the light were gentle and unreal, he looked at her smile, bent his eyes, and said with a smile, "Mumu, you are too easily satisfied."

Mu Mu stuffed a vegetable into her mouth, and replied vaguely, "Isn't it good?"

"No," he answered casually, "very good, it's easy to raise like this."

He said the last sentence very lightly, Mu Mu didn't pay attention to how to hear it clearly, "What?"

"It's nothing," he changed the subject, "Silly girl, happy new year."

After dinner, the two kept their New Year's Eve as usual, and the time ticked by. The two of them chatted one after another, and the occasional long silence didn't feel embarrassing. They each enjoyed the peace and tranquility.

Just after twelve o'clock, Roy called. His Chinese has improved rapidly, and now he can even use idioms smoothly. "Sister, happy new year! It's my first Chinese New Year, It's really interesting, but it's a pity that you're not here, ah——Brother Xichen, why are you bombing me with firecrackers, I can't do it, I'll wait until you come back, just say goodbye like this." The surrounding voices were noisy, and he said a lot by himself, Mu Mu couldn't even insert a punctuation mark, so she could only look at the phone that had been hung up, rubbing her eyebrows and smiling helplessly.

Mu Mu called her mother again, it was very lively there, and Su's mother was very busy, the two of them only had a brief chat before hanging up the phone.

Seeing her hang up the phone, "Come on, let's go downstairs to set off the fireworks." Ye Tianche put on his coat, and enthusiastically gesticulated and pulled Mu Mu downstairs. There was a whole row in the yard. Mu Mu was wrapped in a scarf and overcoat, only showing a pair of eyes to look at him. She stood several meters away and waited. Ye Tianche took a lighter and went forward to light it.

Unexpectedly, the fuse of this firework was too short, and the front one had already ignited before it was lit. Ye Tianche was taken aback, and quickly jumped back. Before jumping a few steps, he felt that he had bumped into someone. Behind him, she stood on tiptoe with a smile and covered his ears with her hands. At the same time, with a bang, the fireworks all over the sky reflected dreamlike colorful lights in her bright eyes, which was so beautiful that it was not real.

Ye Tianche was stunned for a while, then he came to his senses and quickly took her in his arms and stepped back a little, gesturing, silly girl, make a new year's wish.

Mu Mu tilted her head and thought for a while, clenched her hands on her chest and said loudly to the fireworks blooming in the air, "Well, I hope there will be no wars in the world, and children in Africa can eat rice quickly."

Ye Tianche hummed, is there anything else?
Mu Mu thought for a while, and then said, "I hope my mother, brother, brother, grandfather, Yechen, Lier, sister Tianqing, Ache, and all my friends will be healthy and safe."

Ye Tianche was dissatisfied, stared at her and asked with his eyes, why am I the last in line?

Mu Mu explained, er, that, the rankings are in no particular order.

Ye Tianche was speechless, so he returned to the topic and followed the instructions carefully. Tomorrow will be 2010. Mu Mu, you are also 25 years old, and you are a very old girl.

Oh, Mu Mu——, I see, make a wish, I hope I can rejuvenate and stay young forever.

Ye Tianche twitched the corners of his mouth, and what else.

Mu Mu rubbed her chin, pretended to be thinking, and tentatively said, I hope I will become more beautiful and more feminine?
Ye Tianche stroked his forehead, further reminding, Mu Mu, you are not young anymore.

Mu Mu, that's what it meant. Thinking about it, Ye Tianche's worry was not unreasonable. He smiled and continued to make a wish jokingly. Well, I hope that he can find a good man to marry him soon.

Turning around again, I saw Ye Tianche knelt on one knee, staring at her fixedly with star-like eyes, he held her hand, and spoke softly, with a clear and firm voice, "Mumu, marry me!" Give it to me, okay?"
