Chapter 70 The Wind and the Sound of Horseshoes

When Wei Jia came out of the fence gate, he led two horses in his hands, and handed Chen Xi a pair of fur gloves and half a pancake.

Chen Xi took it happily, and the pancake was still warm.While adjusting the saddle, Wei Jia said, "Stuff your belly first. Only you can think of going out for a walk at this time."

His "you" presumably includes Sun Jianchuan who insisted on horseback riding at night two years ago.

"If you don't take a walk, how can you have the chance to be a hero to save the beauty? Last time, you were lucky." Chen Xi said, chewing on a cake.

Wei Jia turned around and smiled: "Here we only call stepping on dog shit when we go out is good luck."

Chen Xi kicked him, but he avoided it lightly.The two each led their horses and walked slowly forward for a while.Chen Xi didn't ask Wei Jia how to deal with the aftermath either.Either he chooses not to do it, and if he does he will deal with it.

"I think your horse is not bad!" She was full and began to look around, pointing to the bay red horse beside Wei Jia and said, "Can I ride it? Let's exchange."

Wei Jia agreed, and when the two exchanged reins, he asked, "Do you remember it?"

"what?"

Judging by Chen Xi's expression, I guess I don't remember it.Wei Jia thought, her memory is not very good, but her preferences have remained consistent for a long time.

"You also specified that you wanted to ride it when we first met."

"What... it's that 'Jiajia'. I remembered! Is it cured?"

"Didn't you name it 'Chen Yangyang'? Thanks to your good luck, I cured it carelessly."

"So it was you, 'Chen Yangyang', you are awesome!" Chen Xi stroked Chen Yangyang's mane in surprise, and asked Wei Jia, "Now you promised to let me ride it?"

Chen Yangyang snorted proudly under Chen Xi's hands.Wei Jia said: "It has your surname, you can count it as half the owner. But let me remind you, it has a bad temper, you should ride slowly and follow it more."

"I know." Chen Xi briskly got on the horse.Chen Yangyang really showed some resistance to the strange rider, his head and neck bobbed up and down, his tail was clamped, his body was tense, and he even started to plan his hooves.

Wei Jia was a little worried about Chen Xi, and whistled for Chen Yangyang to relax.Chen Xi was not afraid, she relaxed the rein in her hand and kept her body balanced.She asked Chen Yangyang to keep bending and walking in circles, caressing its shoulder blades and whispering good things, such as "My dear, you are the sexiest filly in a few hundred miles around", "Chen must walk in the most graceful gait"... ...I don't know if she succumbed to her unreliable sweet words, Chen Yangyang's footsteps gradually became brisk, and her attention was also shifted to the voice beside her ear.At this time, Chen Xi gave a command to move forward, and Chen Yangyang ran forward steadily.

"It really likes being coaxed by others." Chen Xi turned around with a smile.

Wei Jia felt relieved, rode up to follow and said, "Could it be that everyone surnamed Chen is like this?"

"Then why don't you coax me more?" After Chen Xi finished speaking, she laughed again, "That doesn't sound right, I gave you a big deal for nothing."

Wei Jia pretended not to understand, and walked side by side with her without squinting.

"Shouldn't you sincerely say at this time: I'm 'I can't think of it (riding) Jie (sister)'?"

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Then why are you laughing?"

They walked out of the village along the path, letting their horses trot on the increasingly open and flat grassland, while the dark bushes retreated quietly beside them.

"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?" It was Chen Xi who kept laughing, but she questioned Wei Jia's expression.

Wei Jia had long forgotten her lame joke, but the corners of his mouth were involuntarily raised.This is a road he has traveled countless times.Winter is long, and everything is easily diluted in an overly vast land.He often doesn't remember how his days passed. The sun went down in a flash after dusk, and the sky lighted up again in the early morning. He just walked blindly on horseback...tonight is very unusual , the sky is gray and blue, the moon comes and goes, and the stars are extremely blurred, but the cold wind and laughter condense into some kind of tangible existence, penetrating into the lungs and him with a cold and presumptuous manner.

"Aren't you angry?" Wei Jia asked Chen Xi with a smile.After this reunion, she gave him a lot of looks, and she was not completely happy until now.

Chen Xi made Chen Yangyang slow down, and complained that he hated iron but not steel, and replied: "I can't be angry with you at all."

"Because I'm the unluckiest person you know?"

"Fart! Because I like you!"

The confession came so quickly that it was hard to guard against, Wei Jia froze on the horse.

"I just said that I like you." Chen Xi reined in her horse and turned her head back, "You should at least let me know that you heard me. The wind is too loud and I'm afraid you'll lose your hearing, but repeating it is embarrassing."

"...I heard it." Wei Jia hesitated.He was a little at a loss, but he couldn't help correcting his attitude.

"Just hear it. Unless you plan to be with me now, you don't need to think about how to respond to me. It doesn't make sense for you to say that you like me or don't like me, I will feel it myself."

Sure enough, he closed his mouth, and there was only the wind and the regular sound of horseshoes in her ears: "The matter of my breakup has nothing to do with you. It is true that I have thought about you in the past, and it is true that I let go later. I am the person , it’s very easy to think about it, and I didn’t intend to hang you on this tree.”

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"It was very good at first. I thought that I have seen more people now, and I have also talked about love. I have seen a little bit of the world, and I will no longer be confused. My mother also said that my feeling for you before was just the 'drawing bridge effect' '——You were with me when I was worried in the pit. We fought together and entered the police station. Maybe I mistook the feeling of rapid heartbeat at that time as falling in love with someone. But this time I Seeing you, the old problem recurred, and the eyeballs seemed to be stuck to you by glue. This is not a ghost effect at all, I just like you, there is nothing wrong with this!"

These "languages ​​of tigers and wolves" narrated through her mouth are both fantastic and unmistakable, but the listeners tend to get dizzy, like drinking a lot of wine—with her around for many moments, Wei Jia would mistakenly think that he had drunk.He looked at the coiled rein in his hand and asked, "What do I have to deserve you?"

"Do you think I'm a stupid person?" Chen Xi asked abruptly.

Wei Jia shook his head in a daze.

"That's right, I'm not sick in my head, and I don't have overflowing sympathy. I like you because you are good, inside and out!" Chen Xi brushed away her hair that was blown by the wind, bit her lip and looked at him Laugh, "If you look at me more, you will find that I am not bad."

"I'm not as good as you think, you will be disappointed."

"You, the biggest problem is grinding! According to you, apples will rot sooner or later. Do you let them rot on the tree or in your stomach? Can't you just take a bite while it's good? If one day you I'm not feeling well in my heart, so I'll leave naturally. I haven't written my horoscope yet, why are you worrying about the future?"

"I let you say everything, and you are right anyway."

"My dad said that the world is made up of chemistry and philosophy, and learning these two well will not hurt you anywhere."

"Professor Chen is very intelligent."

"He also said you were my first love."

The people around me fell silent for a while, which was expected.Having reached this point, Chen Xi also felt that it was time to stop.At this moment Wei Jia suddenly asked: "So...is he right?"

"Professor Chen's wisdom involves the field of emotions, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to handle his ex-wife."

"But you still didn't tell me why you broke up?"

Chen Xi raised her eyebrows, this was the second time Wei Jia asked about this.She promised to exchange secrets with him, and a gentleman's words are hard to follow.

"There is no strange reason. His whole family has immigrated to Canada, and he will also apply for a study abroad next school year. There is a high probability that he will not come back. My parents are in China, so it is impossible for me to go with him. We haven't reached that point yet. Last month we had an in-depth chat, anyway, it won't last long, so it's better to separate as soon as possible, we will still be friends in the future."

"that's it?"

"It's not because of you, you are disappointed?"

"I didn't mean that...why didn't you tell Chuanzi?"

"Sun Jianchuan's big loudspeaker, if I tell him, doesn't it mean I tell the whole world? When we broke up, I promised him not to make it public. He is my dad's doctoral student and a senior in the same department. We were separated after a short while , it’s still at the juncture of his application for a study visit, and it’s not very good to hear it.” Chen Xi said half-truth, “Besides, he was the first to mention the breakup. I was dumped for the first time, and I couldn’t make up for it. My dad knew Maybe he will be scolded to death in the recommendation letter!"

Wei Jia's horse couldn't wait for the order to move on, so it stomped on the spot.

"What kind of person is he...?"

"I didn't expect you to care so much about me!"

"I'm a little curious...it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

"It's a bit strange to discuss this with you, but it's not impossible to mention it. He is smart, reliable, and a bit rigid in his actions. Also... he looks good when he smiles, and he is tolerant to me when we are together. It's just that We are not destined."

"It sounds like a nice person, but it's a pity." Wei Jia responded.

"Where there is no grass in the end of the world, you also have these advantages!" Chen Xi smiled slyly.She is like a child walking on the beach, accidentally discovering a novel shell, her eyes light up—"Ah, so I like this shape!" When she misses this shell, she will continue to move forward Search.But what could compare to the original one?Especially when she walked around empty-handed and found that it was still left on the beach after another low tide, it still made her eyes shine.

"Are you sad?" Wei Jia didn't expect Chen Xi's previous relationship to be broken up by the other party.Chen Xi is always careless, and seems to be indifferent to everything, but she is actually a person who attaches great importance to emotions.She said that the relationship was calm, but it didn't mean she didn't care at all.

Chen Xi thought for a while before saying: "I was a little depressed at first, and I should be the first to speak up when we want to break up. Later, I heard that his ex-girlfriend was also in Canada, and they applied to the same school. , at least we had a happy time together. Thinking of these, there is nothing to worry about, and it is useless. Now I am fine. When you rejected me, I was only sad for a week. People like me who are in trouble in love have to learn to understand themselves in order to live with a smile."

Wei Jia smiled wryly.She should be the most inspirational one among the unlucky beauties. She always breaks up alone and recovers quickly. No one else has anything to do with her.

Just as he was talking, Chen Xi's cell phone vibrated, and it was Sun Jianchuan who called.Chen Xi complained: "When did the signal here get so good!"

Sun Jianchuan found that Chen Xi had disappeared after drinking half of the wine, and kept asking her where she had gone.Chen Xi prevaricated that he had a stomachache and was squatting on the toilet, so he hung up the phone in twos and twos.

"You are a girl, can you make up an elegant excuse?"

"I said I was strolling outside with you, and he came along drunk, who is responsible for what happened?"

"Chuanzi still cares about you..."

Chen Xi gave Wei Jia a white look, and there was a hint of warning in his words: "Don't match up blindly! I have already told you clearly what I think, if you do that again, it is no different from murdering your heart!"

"Are you the kind of person who can be persuaded by me?" Wei Jia said calmly.

"It depends on what you're talking about." Chen Xi smiled.
