Tong Wei stared at the window after hearing Wang Yao's reply. It was hard to tell what he was thinking, and he looked a bit strange. He had already been in this city for two years, and the city felt familiar and foreign. It had joy and prosperity, yet at the same time, it was also cold and detached. The longer he stayed in the city, the more he wanted to return home.
The two of them sat and chatted in the cafe for quite a while. Without them knowing, the time has shown at 9 pm.
“How about we go?” Tong Wei looked at Wang Yao and asked.
“Sure, where do you live? I'll take you there.”
Tong Wei was not driving, nor was Wang Yao. They hailed a taxi to Tong Wei's place. It's in a nice neighborhood.
“You bought an apartment?” Wang Yao looked at the surroundings. He knew that in a city like Dao City, the apartment would not be cheap. A person who buys any apartment in this city will most likely be able to afford a commercial residential building of equivalent size in Lianshan County.
“No, I rented it. Come in and sit down,” Tong Wei delivers the invitation.
“Sure.”
Wang Yao followed Tong Wei upwards. The apartment is not big. However, it was neat, clean and the decoration was comfortable.
“Make yourself at home. What do you like to drink?”
“Air is fine.”
Tong Wei poured him a glass of water. He then took off his coat. She wore a lavender cashmere sweater underneath which accentuated her graceful figure. And it just so happens that a single woman and a single man are alone in an apartment. They know each other, become classmates. They are not intimate lovers, but there may be an attraction between them.
This spelled out a certain ambiguity in the scenario, as if something might happen — unless nothing happens.
Wang Yao only stayed for five minutes. He drank a glass of water and left.
“It's late, rest well,” Wang Yao said before leaving. As the saying goes, a man does not take advantage of ambiguous situations.
Tong Wei stood by the window and stared at the silhouette of Wang Yao's departure in disappointment.
“Can't you stay any longer?” she asked.
Wang Yao mentally reprimanded himself for not being a real man, as his heart was pounding. After all, he was a hot-blooded man, whereas this beautiful woman was like a flower, and the flower was willing.
Therefore, he chose to leave, in order to escape.
…
“Why are you back?” Seeing Wang Yao, Tian Yuantu was shocked.
“What do you mean? If I don't come back, where will I go?”
“Women are like flowers. If it blooms and is not picked while it is still fresh, you might only be able to pluck the stem alone,” Tian Yuantu chuckled.
Wang Yao could only smile in response.
“You are a real man!” Tian Yuantu praised him and brandished him. That woman was indeed very beautiful, like a fairy in a painting. He also knew that the woman was interested in Wang Yao. If it was him, at Wang Yao's age, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist.
“I'm not a gentleman and don't want to be a gentleman. That's too tiring.” Wang Yao waved his hand and shook his head.
“Hahaha,” Mr. Yuantu laughed in response. “To be honest, I don't think that woman is bad. You should consider it.”
Over the years, with Tian Yuantu's experience of wandering around various places and meeting various kinds of people, he had trained himself to discern the characters of people. Based on years of experience, his insights were relatively accurate. The woman's eyes were clear; she had a dignified and beautiful aura but was not arrogant—she was a rare and intelligent woman. As the old saying goes, a thousand soldiers are easy to find, but a good general is hard to come by. The same can be said of a woman.
“I'll consider your suggestion,” Wang Yao smiled and replied.
Both stay overnight in Dao City. On the second day as they prepared to leave, right before leaving, Wang Yao called Tong Wei. Tong Wei insisted he wanted to host and treat him and Tian Yuantu to a meal. Unable to resist, Wang Yao had to stay with Tian Yuantu.
Tong Wei chose a location that was not large. However, it was refined, and the business was excellent. On that day, Tong Wei wore thin makeup, despite appearing prettier than the day before; she looked extremely beautiful. When he first entered, many eyes were on him, almost forgetting their food. It was a feast for the eyes.
“You look so beautiful today,” Wang Yao praised.
“Thank you.” Her smile was like a blooming flower, dazzling and beautiful.
“Why not stay in Dao City for two more days? The city of Dao has a number of historical places and beautiful places and pleasant places. Since you have such a rare opportunity to visit, will we take another walk? ” after eating, Tian Yuantu suggestion.
“Sure, I can be a guide for you guys,” Tong Wei smiled and offered.
Uh…? Wang Yao hesitated.
He was worried about his herb fields, and if he did not return, his parents would have to live on the hill.
“Why, do you have something urgent at home?” Tian Yuantu noticed Wang Yao's doubts and questions.
“Not too urgent. We can stay for one more day.”
Wang Yao called to the house to tell them that he was going to stay for another night. He then explored Dao City together with Tong Wei, to various beautiful and pleasant places, and places with good food.
Tian Yuantu wisely found excuses and did not follow them, thus avoiding becoming an unwanted third wheel. That day, Wang Yao was very happy. That happiness unlike the calmness experienced on Nanshan—ini hill is another kind of excitement.
Tong Wei was also pleased. It's been a long time since he's been so happy.
The two took a number of friendly photos together. Every time they got somewhere, they triggered the jealousy of the bystanders.
“Sial, very beautiful. That guy was so lucky!”
“Hey, she really let beauty spend money for her. Impressive!”
“Why don't I have this wealth?”
“Where are you looking? You stopped moving when you saw a beautiful woman!?”
“Sorry, wife!”
At night, they both find a beautiful place by the sea and enjoy a comfortable and happy dinner.
“You'll be back tomorrow?” Tong Wei asked.
“Yes, I have something to take care of at home,” replied Wang Yao.
“Why don't you stay for two more days? There are still some places we haven't visited.” Tong Wei pouted her red lips teasingly.
“Lain times. When I come to Dao City again, I must trouble you again, ”Wang Yao smiled in return. Actually, he had harbored the thought of staying a few more days and enjoying his heart. Most importantly, being accompanied by a beautiful woman, even if she did nothing else, just looking at her alone was enough to make her happy.
“Alright, next time then. It's a deal.”
“Sure.”
“Little promise.”
Their hands touched, and Wang Yao felt the softness of her fingers. Their fingers were like hooks, clasped tightly.
Time passed and the night extended. Wang Yao left with Tong Wei to his place. He stayed there for a while and then left.
“From your forehead, I can detect that love is in the air,” after seeing Wang Yao, Tian Yuantu hurled this poetic statement.
“I've been playing all day. I'm quite tired. I'll retire first.” Wang Yao smiled in response.
“Have you considered my suggestion?”
Wang Yao smiled and walked into his room.
“That woman really isn't bad.”
The next day, Wang Yao wanted to call Tong Wei. He did not expect that he would go to their hotel and give them a gift.
“Thank you,” said Wang Yao.
“Hopefully safe travel.”
“Goodbye.”
“He's very considerate. She will be an understanding wife and loving mother!” Tian Yuantu commented as he drove.
“Indeed he is very wise.” Wang Yao looked at the reward in his hand. Not only was there a gift for himself, but he also prepared a gift for his parents.
“See, good woman. You should appreciate this opportunity. Do not wait until it is too late and then regret it!” Tian Yuantu's words were sincere and sincere.
“Oke.” Wang Yao nodded.
Tian Yuantu was driving quite fast. They start in the morning and reach Lianshan County around noon. Wang Yao asked Tian Yuantu to have lunch at his house. They had some home-cooked dishes, and Tian Yuantu ate them all deliciously. She praised Wang Yao's mother's cooking skills, making her very happy with herself.
“Who gave you this gift?” after Tian Yuantu left, Zhang Xiuying looked at the reward. They're not cheap.
“Friends classmate.”
“Friends classmate? Man or woman?”
“Female.”
“Female?!” Zhang Xiuying widened his eyes with interest.
“Is he your university classmate? What's name?”
“He was a classmate of Junior High School and I, from Lianshan County, worked in Dao City,” Wang Yao smiled, having no choice but to reveal it.
“Is that Tong Wei that your father mentioned last time?!”
“Ya, that's him.” Wang Yao did not hide it.
“Really, this time you went to Dao City because of him?” Zhang Xiuying was overjoyed when he heard his response.
“No, we met by chance.”
“He gave you a gift when you met by chance? What does she look like? Do you have a picture of her?”
“Ya.”
“Try Me see.”
Wang Yao showed her phone where she kept the photo taken with Tong Wei as they explored Dao City.
“Wow, this girl is very beautiful!” Zhang Xiuying snatched the phone from Wang Yao's hand and dashed into the house excitedly.
“Old man, come out and see your daughter-in-law.”
“Women-in-law?!” Wang Fenghua who was inside the house rushed out. “Where?”
“On the phone, look how beautiful this girl is. Her appearance also showed luck.”
“Hey, isn't this Tong Wei? You went to Dao City this time for him?”
“No.”
“Why are there so many photos? And in many different places?”
Wang Yao felt that he was wasting his breath to explain and decided not to speak, letting his mother become excited.
“When did you bring Tong Wei home to see us?”
“She's still in Dao.” City
“Hmm, this is impossible. Why don't you go to Dao City and make it back?” Zhang Xiuying subconsciously regarded Tong Wei as his future daughter-in-law.
“I'll go to Nanshan hill to see it.”
“That place is fine. Your dad just got off there. Let's talk about this girl first. Hey, Yao..”.
Wang Yao walked out of his house and climbed the Nanshan hill. When he was at the foot of the hill, San Xian rushed down the hill and happily wagged his tail by his side and screeched a few times. It was as if asking Wang Yao where he was and why he did not go to the hill.
Ow hell! In the sky, there was a resounding call. The eagle turned and flew low.
“Halo, Da Xia!” He waved to the eagle in the sky. The eagle seemed to have seen it and gaped in return.
Wang Yao circled around Nanshan, looked at the plants and trees he planted, and then headed to the rock at the peak and practiced rounds of Tai Chi and trained his Qi. His boxing and posture were still very untrained. This was understandable since he had only started studying recently. After moving her body and practicing Tai Chi, she felt comfortable.
