designer who lives in the next room

"I didn't blame you, and your tone was not very nice." Nanako rubbed the hand that hurt from Li Zixi's beating, and sat down on the side of the road, she couldn't walk anymore.

Li Zixi was the same, except that she sat on the other side of the road, guarding her crab bucket, pretending not to care about Nanako, and playing with the stones on the ground.

This might be the first quarrel after they got married, although Nanako knew that this was not the time to quarrel, but she didn't show her anger when she saw Li Zixi's current state.

The two sat opposite each other on both sides of the road, doing their own things.

There are more and more dark clouds, and the wind is getting stronger.After being blown by the cold wind for a long time, Nanako finally calmed down a little. She picked up a small stone and threw it beside Li Zixi, "I'm not angry with you anymore, so let's move on."

"What is 'I'm not angry with you'?" Li Zixi threw back the stone that Nanako threw over, and Nanako's words ignited her mood that had finally calmed down. same mistake."

"What's the matter with you?" Nanako stood up, she didn't understand why Li Zixi was still like this, "Are you thinking of fighting right now?"

"You started it first, right?" Li Zixi asked back, "It was obviously your tone that was bad first, and I also told you to drive here, so you don't listen to me, now you're fine, you can't go back."

Nanako was immediately annoyed by this sentence, she wanted to reconcile with Li Zixi, she threw her schoolbag on the ground, "It's up to you, if you don't want to leave, we can just stay here overnight."

Li Zixi glared at Nanako, feeling very uncomfortable.

Being trapped here is already uncomfortable enough, but at this time Nanako wants to make her angry.Li Zixi turned her back and stopped looking at Nanako.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that the reason for starting this conversation is because I complained.

It was indeed her fault, but Nanako's tone was not good at all.

"I don't care, if Nanako doesn't apologize, I don't care about her."

Volume [-]#Rainy night, cars and old women

The air had already started to become humid, and there was a possibility of rain at any moment, but Nanako and Li Zixi were still sitting on both sides of the road, ignoring each other.

Nanako is older than Li Zixi and has experienced more things, so she is naturally more mature than Li Zixi. Compared to Li Zixi who ignores Nanako just to get angry, Nanako doesn't speak just to calm Li Zixi down.

She knew Li Zixi's temper too well, once she got angry, it would not heal for a while, and whatever she said during this period would be like adding fuel to the fire.Nanako just glanced at Li Zixi from time to time, and it turned out that the latter was exactly what she thought, and she gradually calmed down and turned her body back.

Nanako's cell phone was about to be turned off, so she could only write down the route in her head, but it was already dark, and she had no idea what would happen tonight.

Suddenly, drops fell on Nanako's face, and Li Zixi also noticed that it was raining.She looked at Nanako in some panic, she was about to say something when she remembered how angry she was, and quickly turned her face away again.

Nanako sighed in her heart, thinking why this child is still angry with herself at this time, if they dare not go in and find a place where they can shelter from the rain, they will be drenched in the rain all night tonight.

"Are you still angry with me?" Seeing helplessness, Nanako had no choice but to walk up to Li Zixi and bow her head to admit her mistake. She knew that she was half responsible for the situation.

"..." Li Zixi glanced at Nanako, but said nothing.

"Don't be angry..." Nanako squatted beside Li Zixi, her tone of voice seemed to be coquettish as she wanted to leave here quickly, "I promise I won't make you angry in the future."

"No, that's not it..." How could Li Zixi be really angry with Nanako all the time, she stammered, "I'm just... sorry to apologize."

"I know, I know." Nanako patted Li Zixi's head, "It's okay, but we have to leave quickly."

Li Zixi was dragged up by Nanako, taking advantage of the rain, the two planned to find a place to shelter from the rain, preferably on the side of the road, where they could see cars passing by.

"That..." Li Zixi followed Nanako, walked for a while before speaking, "I was wrong just now."

"Why are you still talking about this?" Nanako didn't look back, she was always looking for a place for the two of them to hide, "Didn't I say I'm not angry?"

"No, I just imagined you apologizing." Li Zixi continued, "Obviously I started complaining first, but I still think your tone is bad."

"Then we're even." Nanako said, she saw that it was still very dry under a tree with dense branches and leaves, so she planned to take Li Zixi there to hide from the rain for a while.

Fortunately, it was almost summer and the rain was not too heavy, so Nanako and Li Zixi didn't get too wet.Li Zixi was still carrying the bucket of crabs, but Nanako didn't say anything about her this time.

There were some snacks in the bag, Nanako ate some casually and gave them to Li Zixi.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat the rest." Nanako told Li Zixi, rubbing her stomach.

How could she be full? She only ate half of a small package of snacks.

Li Zixi took the snacks and ate a few mouthfuls, "We haven't reached the end of the mountain yet, don't make it look like we're trapped in the wilderness."

Nanako's "white lie" did not get Li Zixi's approval, so she had no choice but to shrug her shoulders.

It was raining finely and densely, with these leaves as a cover, the raindrops did not fall on the two of them, but the wind in the countryside at night was a bit cool, and occasionally the rain was mixed with the wind and blown to their feet.

I don't know how long the rain will last, Nanako and Li Zixi are bored sitting on the tree trunk looking at the lights of the distant city.If the afternoon car arrives on time, they should be lying on the soft sofa and watching TV together.

It is obviously something that I don't care about at ordinary times, but now it looks so beautiful.

"Are we going to wait here until the rain stops?" Li Zixi asked after eating the last bite of snacks. She slept for a while in the afternoon, and she doesn't feel tired now, but she is a little worried about whether the crabs she caught can last until she goes home .

"That can't be helped?" Nanako asked back, her mobile phone was turned off, and Li Zixi's didn't have much battery, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, who knows how long Li Zixi's mobile phone can last.

If there is no electricity in the middle of the road, it is too dangerous to be blinded by black lights.

Li Zixi sighed, leaned against the tree trunk to rest, and looked at the original place of the road, she suddenly sat up straight.

"What's wrong?" Nanako looked at Li Zixi who was suddenly excited, and asked without knowing why.

"Did you feel the road shaking?" Li Zixi turned her head and asked Nanako. After speaking, she looked at the original place of the road. After waiting for a while, two lights appeared there, "Car!"

Nanako immediately looked towards the direction Li Zixi was pointing at, the two not so bright lights were particularly conspicuous on this dark country road.

There is only one road here, so that car will definitely pass in front of him.

This is the last way of salvation tonight.

Nanako immediately ran to the side of the road and waved. The lights of the car reflected brightly on her beige jacket. The driver saw them from a distance, so he slowed down early.

The car slowly came to a stop beside the two of them. It was a small agricultural truck with mud all over its body, and it looked like it had driven a lot.

The driver was an elderly woman who was very surprised to meet two young children here.

Nanako told the old woman what happened to her today, and asked her to help take herself and Li Zixi to the village ahead, and the fare was negotiable.

The old woman was very kind, she did not refuse Nanako's request, nor did she plan to ask her for travel expenses. That village was her home, so it was just a way to pick up Nanako and her.

After getting the old woman's permission, Nanako and Li Zixi sat in the back seat of the car, and Li Zixi didn't forget to put the bucket of crabs away first.

"Is that the crab you caught?" the old woman asked while driving. She was driving very slowly and she had walked this road for decades, so naturally she would not worry about any danger.

Nanako nodded, and pointed to Li Zixi beside her, "This is the result of her grasping all afternoon, and she refuses to throw it away no matter what."

"Haha, fewer and fewer young people come to the countryside to play nowadays." The old woman laughed, "Although you will encounter various situations, it seems that you are playing pretty well."

"Except for the bus that didn't arrive home." Li Zixi hastily added, "Everything else is pretty fun."

"The bus..." the old woman continued, she thought for a while to explain to the two people, "There is something wrong with the bridge in front of the village, the government is organizing people to repair it, and the bus will probably not be able to pass for a while. "

The old woman's words undoubtedly poured cold water on the two of them. Sure enough, there was a problem with the road. Now they don't know when they will be able to go back.

The old woman saw the worries in the hearts of the two, and said to them with a smile, "Don't worry about not being able to go back to work after the weekend. I have to process tomorrow morning, and I will send you back then."

This sentence really solved Nanako's urgent need, and she quickly thanked the old lady, "In any case, please let me bear the gas money when I go back."

The car drove slowly, and arrived at the village Nanako found on the navigation in less than 10 minutes.After they helped the old woman move some daily necessities from the car to the house, they followed the old woman to the living room.

The area here is small, and the decoration is very ordinary. They are all wooden structures, but they look very warm.There is only the old woman in the house. Her husband goes to deliver goods with other people in the village and will not come back for two or three days. Her children also work in the city and usually come back once or twice a month. .

The old lady was used to this kind of life, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.She is only slightly older, and her legs and feet are still sharp.

She brought two clean towels for Li Zixi and Nanako to wipe off the raindrops stuck to their hair, took Li Zixi's crab bucket into the pool, and filled it with well water, so that the crabs could at least survive until tomorrow when they left.

In order to thank the old lady, Li Zixi picked out a few bigger crabs as a thank you gift. At first the old lady didn't intend to ask for it, but at Li Zixi's insistence, she still accepted it.

The house is very warm, and the wooden structure of the house is really very warm. After all, this is not my home. Nanako and Li Zixi can't walk around casually. They can only sit on the sofa and look at the fireplace opposite and some photos on it. .

Those photos were all photos of the old woman with her family, and a few photos of her children. They were about the same age as Li Zixi, and they must have just started working.

"Why don't you live in the city with your children?" Nanako asked the old woman who was preparing tea. She always felt that living in the country was not very convenient in all aspects.

The old woman who heard Nanako's question just shook her head and explained to her with a smile, "I'm used to living here. I like the tranquility here. The pace in the city is too fast."

The old woman put the tea in front of the two of them, sat on the other side of the sofa and continued, "And my friends are all here. It's hard to make friends in the city at my age."

"I still want to live in a place where I have friends." Li Zixi nodded. Although she used to be a person who couldn't make friends, since she went to Liangzi's "Lily Apartment", she has more friends around her. Now she too can appreciate the benefits of having friends.

"That's right." The old woman had a very kind expression on her face, "And my children often come back to see me, so I am very satisfied with this kind of life."

Volume One

After chatting with the old woman for a while, the old woman noticed the rings on the fingers of the two. She was a little surprised and panicked, but she didn't think it was a big deal when she thought that the young people today were different from their generation. inappropriate.

"Do you want to eat something?" the old woman asked. "The food in the country is not as rich as the food in the city, but the taste is still quite good."

The two who had accepted too much kindness from the old lady shook their heads repeatedly. They had finished the snacks they brought along the way, and the two who were not hungry at all decided not to bother the old lady.

"That's good, as long as you're not hungry." The old woman nodded, and since they said so, she didn't force her anymore. She pointed to the kettle on the table next to her and said to Nanako, "If If you need it, please do it yourself, I am too old to be as energetic as you, and I am going to rest now."

"You can sleep in my daughter's room at night." She glanced at the rings on their hands again, "Anyway, you two usually sleep together, right?"

This sentence made Nanako and Li Zixi blush at the same time, not knowing whether to admit it or deny it.Seeing the shy and embarrassed look of the two, the old woman waved her hands and smiled, "It's okay, don't everyone advocate freedom of marriage now, as long as you don't do anything else tonight."

"Absolutely not!" The two said almost in unison, and with their assurances, the old lady returned to her room in peace.

The old woman's daughter's room is not big, and the decoration is very simple. There are some photos and some books, most of which are world famous books.Li Zixi even found some famous books from her own country, took them out carefully and flipped through them, but they were still in Chinese.

"Wow, Chinese book." Li Zixi said in surprise, she pointed to the Chinese on it to show Nanako, "I can't remember how long it's been since I read a book that's all in Chinese."

"Don't you usually read books?" Nanako asked back, she didn't know why Li Zixi made such an exclamation, "You also read magazines and comics."

"That's different..." Li Zixi was a little embarrassed, she put the book back in its original place, "I also use my mobile phone to read books sometimes."

"But this old lady's daughter seems to be very good." Nanako looked at all kinds of books on the bookshelf, "People who like to read books are very good, let alone people who read original books. She should have a talent for languages. It will be nice."

Li Zixi nodded in agreement, but this was someone else's room after all, and she couldn't just pick up things to look at, so she had to sit on the bed and chat with Nanako.

"Although I really want to ask you if you had a good time today..." Nanako scratched her head and glanced at Li Zixi with an embarrassed smile, "But I think you should feel bad..."

"Huh? Why?" Li Zixi tilted her head and asked Nanako, she didn't know why Nanako came to such a conclusion, "Is it because I lost my temper with you before?"

Nanako shook her head, "It's not just that, although both of us are at fault for arguing."

"I was supposed to take you out to play, but I didn't listen to you, I didn't choose to drive here, and I didn't let you catch any fish, and I was caught by a crab." Nanako recalled what happened today, looking at the ceiling. Li Zixi said, "In the end, I almost had to spend the night in the mountains in the rain."

It turned out that Nanako was talking about these things. Indeed, these things were not things that would make people feel happy, but Li Zixi felt that it was because of these things that they remembered them so vividly today.

"I don't think so." Li Zixi dismissed Nanako's statement, "If today I just came here to fish, catch fish and then go home by car, although it is different from our usual life, it sounds ordinary, but After these things happen, we will remember this day for a long time."

"Moreover." Li Zixi took Nanako's hand, and pressed her hand to her face, "I experienced this with Nanako, and I feel very happy."

"Really..." Nanako blushed again, and her heart was completely relaxed. She was afraid that Li Zixi would think that today was a terrible day. If she really felt that today was a good day, it would be great.

Nanako was already very sleepy, lying on the bed she closed her eyes and felt that she would soon fall asleep.But after lying like this for more than half an hour, Nanako just couldn't fall asleep.Who let Li Zixi sleep so much in the afternoon, and it wasn't her own quilt, Li Zixi couldn't feel sleepy at all.

"You'll get sleepy after lying down quietly for a while..." Nanako turned around and put her hands on Li Zixi's waist, embracing her body, "Please don't turn around, please?"

"But, but I just can't sleep..." It's not because the mattress is uncomfortable, Li Zixi just hasn't gotten used to the smell of the quilt that is different from her own, "I always feel like I'm lying in someone else's arms."

"No, you can only be in my arms." Nanako said behind Li Zixi with her eyes closed, and then gently bit Li Zixi's neck, "I said that if you dare to sleep in someone else's arms, I will bite you to death."

"I mean feeling...feeling!" Nanako made Li Zixi's neck itchy, she hurriedly pushed Nanako away, "Have your canine teeth become sharp again?"

"How is it possible?" Nanako asked back, "I'm not a vampire..."

"Then, why did it hurt me?"

"...Do you just want to drag me to chat with you, so you are talking about all this here?"

"No, you just bit me."

"Nonsense, I'm useless."

"I do not care."

"..."

Nanako was silent, her arms were tightly wrapped around Li Zixi's waist, making it impossible for her to continue rolling on the bed.From the back of Li Zixi's neck came Nanako's slight snoring, the snort coming out of her nose made Li Zixi very uncomfortable.

Li Zixi, who was not sleepy at all, couldn't fall asleep anymore, feeling Nanako's breath while looking out the window.

The outside of the countryside without street lights is pitch black, the rain has stopped, the moonlight seems to be sprinkled on the trees, occasionally there will be one or two calls of nocturnal birds, other than that, the rest of the time is surprisingly quiet.

Nanako was sound asleep, Li Zixi poked Nanako several times and she didn't respond, Li Zixi didn't know when she fell asleep, when she woke up it was already sunny outside.

Nanako was rubbing her neck and arms, she insisted on sleeping with Li Zixi in her arms yesterday, so she must have had a stiff neck this morning.

"How did you sleep?" Li Zixi was finally able to turn over, she looked at Nanako beside her with a distressed face, and asked with a smirk.

"It's not good, my neck hurts." Nanako rubbed her neck, "Why did you let me sleep on your shoulder last night?"
