Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 283 "After the Rain" —————————————

The days always go by so fast when the schedule is packed.The midterm of the first semester of the second academic year will come soon.Jiang Ling took too many classes, so she was almost buried in papers and homework.

But Jiang Ling is not afraid, Jiang Ling is full of energy.Dongming is not even afraid of such a boring training, how could she be afraid of such a trivial matter? !With the energy of Dongming's training, Jiang Ling worked hard for [-] hours a day, completed four major assignments and papers, and at the same time insisted on physical training.

Then Jiang Ling put her homework and thesis on hold to cool down. On the next day, Jiang Ling checked their writing and wording, made sure there were no grammatical problems, and handed them in.

So during the mid-term period, in the last few days, Jiang Ling was particularly free.

……

No, it's another sunny day.The most common sunny days in Verdu Oasis.

The scorching sun shone down directly, making the whole training ground dry and hot.In the green area on the sidelines, the cicadas made a long, weary cry, which made people irritated.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun exposure plus the heat absorbed by the ground was the hottest time of the day.Most of the students who were doing the exercises couldn't hold on anymore, and hid in the shade to rest.However, there is still a small part left in the training ground, including Dongming's tireless training mecha.

It's still runway [-], it's still random obstacles, it's still scary high speed.

Jiang Ling sat in Dongming's office, in a room with pleasant temperature and humidity, sat in Dongming's chair, and looked out the window for a while.Then Jiang Ling looked down at her book, flipped down the reading board, and browsed "A Collection of Strange and Interesting Animals and Plants"-this set of books is related to Jiang Ling's major, and can expand knowledge. At the same time, the content is relatively light, and it is most suitable for waiting time Look inside.

……

When Dongming came back, Jiang Ling had already turned off the reading board, slumped comfortably in the back of the chair, looking at Dongming, looking at Dongming's mess and sweat.

When Dongming entered the door, his eyebrows and eyes were bent downwards; when he saw Jiang Ling, Dongming smiled even more: "What is today?"

Jiang Ling couldn't help laughing, but at the same time, she felt a little distressed: "Ai grass glutinous rice balls, stuffed with sweet sesame seeds. I'm very hungry."

Dongming walked towards Jiang Ling, opened the cabinet at the left foot of the table, took out his regular clothes, and prepared to go to the bathroom: "You're hungry?"

Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, teasing Dongming: "In case someone's stomach growls."

Dongming smiled: "It doesn't sound like you're talking about yourself."

"Maybe. Maybe. Who knows." Jiang Ling rolled her eyes, leaned over to Dongming, pointed to the shelf opposite the desk with a smile, "Look over there, that one."

"What?" Dongming was puzzled, he looked in the direction Jiang Ling pointed, and then Dongming felt a soft touch on his cheek.

The sneak attack of the fourth-level physicist on the eleventh-level physicist was successful again.Jiang Ling grabbed Dongming and kissed Dongming's face.

They both laughed, and Dongming kissed back and pecked a little more.It's just that this is an office after all, and Jens is still next door, so they didn't kiss.Then Dongming went out, went to the bathroom next door, and took a shower in the same corridor - thanks to those trainings, he only needed to leave Jiang Ling for a dozen seconds.

And Jiang Ling looked at Dongming's back as he turned the corner outside the door and twirled her fingers: there was a little moisture between her fingertips, which came from Dongming's cheeks and temples.

Jiang Ling spread her hands, staring at the slight wet marks on her fingertips.Under the abundant but not strong natural light, they have a warm luster.After a while, Jiang Ling slowly raised his hand and licked it lightly with the tip of his tongue.

--Salty.

Tastes like tears.

So, by paying this, you can save tears.

It's just that I don't know how much the former is needed to exchange for a drop of the latter.

no one knows...

*********
On the morning of the rest day, the two went to the military academy to practice gymnastics as usual.

When walking out of the room, Jiang Ling was in front.Dongming paused for half a step because he closed the door.Jiang Ling waited for a short while, and at the same time grabbed Dongming's hand—she was used to it.

The corners of Dongming's lips curled up, and he turned to look at Jiang Ling.Then they walked side by side to the gate of the garden.Dongming slightly lowered his head and glanced at the clasped hands of the two, and suddenly smiled.

Jiang Ling was slightly aware of it.However, Dongming was in a good mood at first, but after going out, his mood became better, so Jiang Ling didn't think much about it, and just gave Dongming a pair of dimples back.

……

The young couple finished their physical training and decided to go shopping in Salem, a commercial street.

However, unlike most people's expectations, this proposal did not come from Jiang Ling, but from Dongming.

Dongming's idea was selected from the "One Hundred and Eight Moves" - this is a Chinese book, the author of this book received the same cultural influence as Jiang Ling, didn't he?

It's a pity that the author of the book seems to have grown up in the city, so Dongming didn't find any tricks in the book when he was in Jin Haixing or in the wild.But after returning to Mitai Star, Dongming found that his reference books became more practical as the environment changed.

It was also because of this that Jiang Ling laughed badly: "It looks like shopping in the book, huh? Do you think I have the potential to be a shopaholic? I grow up so much, I don't go shopping as much as I go to the park!"

Dongming lowered his head and scratched his face: "Well...no." He raised his eyes to Jiang Ling, his eyebrows curved, "Don't worry about it, let's go play? Anyway, in Salem, everywhere is similar to a park."

"That's true." Jiang Ling readily agreed, "Garden City."

So the two set off happily.

*********
What they went shopping was the best and most expensive commercial street in Seren, the back street of Sixteenth Avenue.

It's not that Jiang Ling is picky, or that Dongming is generous.This is what An Yi suggested to Jiang Ling.Because compared to the target who is busy gardening at home, or going to school at Ednon College, where the files of all teachers, students and employees have been checked, when the target is shopping, the security work is more challenging for the bodyguards.

In the top luxury block, there are relatively few customers, and the security of each store is relatively complete and high-quality—no way, luxury goods, especially jewelry, they also have to guard against robbers—the pair of bodyguards For them, this is good news.

Anyway, one, Jiang Ling didn't plan to buy anything; and the other, if Jiang Ling saw something there, she could afford it.

All of the above, An Yi honestly confessed.Jiang Ling has always been good-tempered, so she agreed.

As for Dongming, to be honest, he is not interested in whether the products are high-end or not.In his opinion, the only thing that matters is whether it is easy to use or not; if it is easy to use, then the only question left is whether it is affordable or not...

Dongming just wanted to go out and play with Jiang Ling.

……

The clothes, shoes and hats in the backstreet of Sixteenth Avenue, as well as the accessories store, are all very good.It's a pity that Jiang Ling didn't intend to dress too differently from her classmates, and Dongming didn't need these—they weren't suitable for training.

So the shopping of these two is shop window shopping: you only look outside and hardly go in.

There is only one store exception.

It was a natural stone shop.Unlike other natural stone shops, it only sells natural stones, not processed ones.

When Jiang Ling looked at its display window, she fell in love with a fist-sized conch in the display window at first sight... because it has well-proportioned and full spirals and protrusions, as well as a lustrous and warm off-white color.

Just like jade.

But at the same time, Jiang Ling also felt a little strange.Because when she looked at this conch, she felt a faint sense of joy—this was not her feeling.So it's from the inherited memory?

Dongming saw it.Because Jiang Ling's eyes stayed on the conch for too long. "Let's go in and have a look."

Jiang Ling nodded: "Okay."

The doormen here are either handsome or beautiful.As soon as the two entered the door, the shopping guide lady smiled and bowed, but she didn't step forward to be courteous, but waited for signs and instructions at a suitable distance that would not hinder private conversations.

"You like it?"

"Well. But it's very expensive."

More than 9.The price is right for such a large piece of pure natural formation of high-grade natural stone.And, most importantly, to Jiang Ling, it really couldn't be considered "expensive".

So Dongming frowned slightly, then he raised his eyebrows vigorously, stretched his eyebrows, turned his head and listened to him, and whispered to Jiang Ling: "Hey, since I like it and can afford it, and our house doesn't have many decorations, There are lots and lots of empty places where it could be placed—so, why don't you take it back?"

Jiang Ling puffed her cheeks: "It's expensive, and you don't need it."

"No, it's useful." Dongming negated in a low voice, but his tone was firm and resolute. "If you like it, you will feel better when you see it. That's what it's useful for. Isn't that enough?"

Jiang Ling looked at Dongming and smiled.Then Jiang Ling folded her chest and lowered her head to think for a while, and finally she spread her hands together: "Okay, I admit——I just can't bear the money!"

Dongming laughed, put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at Jiang Ling leisurely, and then at the big conch: "It's up to you to decide."

"What about you? Would you buy it?"

"I will. Why not? Look, proportionally, it's with you, it's worth ten dollars here. It's only ten dollars. If you like it so much, you won't let it go! Be self-willed! Do whatever you want Do it, buy whatever you want!"

"...Okay, I'm going to buy it." Jiang Ling made up his mind; but Jiang Ling still had some doubts about whether his decision was appropriate. "Luxury spending...give it a try. Hopefully I won't regret it."

Dongming laughed: "No, definitely not." The good boy is of course reassuring, but what he wants is not reassurance, he wants Jiang Ling to be happy.

"is it?"

"Of course!"

*********
So on the next shopping trip, Jiang Ling had an extra small bag in his hand.They continued walking along the street, and after leaving the prime location on the back street of Sixteenth Avenue, they found an art gallery selling portraits and videos before the corner.

The two abducted in.However, they did not look at the works of famous artists hanging on the wall, but walked towards the small exhibition area at the entrance.Because Jiang Ling discovered the name of an old acquaintance.

"The rain is over and the sky is clear, shoulder to shoulder... Author, Du Yun?"

"Rain and Sunshine" is a close-up macro photo. On it, a bunch of ordinary flower spikes are in full bloom, with water droplets hanging, reflecting the sun, and a rainbow - that is after the rain, Soren Native weeds on the flyway.

And "shoulder to shoulder" is a low-angle photo taken close to the ground.Shoes of all kinds, as well as table legs and band equipment.Make no mistake, this is a party.
