Chapter 41
When was the last time Shi Nan hugged her?
It seems that when Shi Nan woke up from a nightmare last time, when Shi Nan kept crying in front of her, when she felt the "distressed" emotion for the first time, after Shi Nan woke up from the nightmare, they seemed to hug each otherlong time.
The same scene at this moment made Fu Zhao inevitably recall the feeling of being hugged by Shi Nan at that time, coping with Shi Nan's tears in a panic, her mind was almost full of guilt and self-blame, she couldn't think about it at all.Get up for other things.
Yes, it's like her mood, her thoughts, changed after that hug.
Now Shi Nan hugged her again, hugged her tightly, and hugged her neck tightly with both hands, as if wanting to rub her into her breath, never to separate again.
The thoughts in her mind exploded, and her thoughts began to become chaotic, and even became more and more chaotic, which made her movements also froze, and she bent over and remained motionless.
Her hand was still on the seat belt buckle and she forgot to release it, but her whole body seemed to be floating on soft and gentle clouds, swaying unsteadily, all the thoughts that exploded in her head, all the complicated thoughts,It all condensed into one sentence: Her heartbeat was so loud, what if Shi Nan heard it?
The chin at the shoulder socket rubbed again, and the cheek that was not far from the side of the face touched her cheek.
Warm to the touch, with loose and even tangled hair.
The itching brought Fu Zhao back to her senses, and she hurriedly loosened the seat belt buckle, straightened up with her hands on her hands, and left the warm embrace.
"It's time to go, we still have to buy Kongming lanterns, don't wait until the end."
After getting out of the car, after getting out of that embrace, the midsummer evening wind that originally felt steamy became cool at this moment.Fu Zhao turned sideways, did not look at Shi Nan with downcast eyes, tried his best to keep his expression unchanged, and held the car door with one hand.
It's quiet in the car.
After a long time, there was a rustling sound, and the seat was adjusted back to its original position. It was the sound of Shi Nan getting out of the car, and a pair of calves wrapped in black and white sneakers and white stockings came into view.Tired of light under the night light.
"Well, there is progress, at least this time I didn't turn my head and run away, and I didn't keep silent." A deliberately soft voice sounded in my ear, with a clear smile, "It's just not open enough, I'd rather look at the tires than look at it."I."
With brisk steps, it floated over with a familiar fragrance.
Then came the warm touch from the familiar position of the wrist, and the white fingertips clenched on it, with very light force, but pulled her to let go of the car door, and pulled her to start walking forward with light steps.
The sounds in her ears began to increase, the sound of soles rubbing against the ground, the noise of the crowd, the sound of surging waves by the sea, the sound of brisk street music...
"Snapped"
There was a sudden sound of the car door closing behind him.
Fu Zhao looked at his grasped hand in a daze, the fingertips were faintly white, it was the mark of her pressing too hard on the car door just now, and then his eyes slowly moved up, it was Shi Nan's slim and well-proportioned back, it was Shi Nan's slender and well-proportioned back, followed by brisk stepsThe ink-black hair gently rippling in the air was painted a gentle chestnut brown by the dim night light.
Fragments of light came out from the wind-blown hair, which dazzled Fu Zhao's eyes.
She was dazzled by Shi Nan, and her heart skipped a beat.
The neon lights are becoming more and more colorful, all kinds of Kongming lanterns are placed in the street stalls, and the road is full of people.
The stars in the sky are still shining, the sea level and the night are in a line, and Kongming lanterns with soft halos are floating in the sky, one by one, occupying every corner of this piece of sky, lighting up this supposedly bleak and colorless sky.night.
Nankey Island is the place with the most flowers on the UI planet, and it is probably the place where the entire star likes flowers the most.
They bought Kongming lanterns, and when the crowds gathered on the street were about to write their wishes on the lanterns, there were many petals of various colors fluttering along the wind and swaying in the air.
Shi Nan looked up and saw that there was a blower in the air that was running non-stop. The petals that fell naturally in this season were all collected by the environmental robot and used in such activities or scenes.
Nankey Island is really the most romantic place in the entire interstellar world.
Even robots know romance so well.
But the strange thing is that the little island owner of Nankey Island said that she is a person who does not understand romance.
Shi Nan looked at Fu Zhao who was sitting across from her and seriously wrote down his wish on the Kongming Lantern paper, and her eyes rippled. She felt that what Fu Zhao said was wrong, and Fu Zhao was clearly a romantic person to the end.
Shi Nan felt relieved, but at the same time felt jealous, not because he was jealous that Fu Zhao was a romantic person, but because he didn't seem to have the passion to match this kind of romance.
She has always been a person with great goals and plans, and she will constantly speculate on the thoughts of everyone around her, as if only in this way can she feel safe.
Later, Fu Zhao died.
It became a picture that would terrify her every time she thought of it. She kept having nightmares, remorse, and self-blame. Similar emotions filled her heart. She lost her mind to do many things, let alone experience this ancientBut a slow romantic move.But this time, she redeemed her regrets, she could feel more about Fu Zhao, and the more happiness she could feel.
This is the first time she has stayed in Nankey Island for such a long time, and it is also the first time she has felt the meaning of this romance.
Maybe everything before was just foreshadowing, and this time is the real beginning.
At this moment, she can abandon all thoughts.
She can really feel the romance of Nankey Island, and she can really feel the regret that comes from the bottom of her heart.It's a pity that I discovered this side of Fu Zhao so late.
"All right."
Fu Zhao on the opposite side raised his head, his amber eyes seemed to be soaked in the lights all over the sky, clear and hot, the tails of his eyes were slightly bent, his slender eyelashes were lifted slightly, his straight black and fluffy hair was tied into a low ponytail on his head.Finally, a few strands of forehead hair fluttered gently, and the white shirt was clear and clean.
"Write to you."
Fu Zhao handed over the Kongming Lantern paper and pen, and the side of his face was cast with a faint shadow by the night lamp.
Shi Nan took the pen subconsciously, but her fingertips accidentally touched the slightly hot and soft fingertips. She was taken aback for a moment, but Fu Zhao quickly retracted before she could recall the touch on her fingertips, and held it up with her hands.Eyelashes drooping and trembling, "Hurry up and write, the ink will dry soon."
"Oh, I see."
Shi Nan stared at the writing brush in her hand and the open paper of the Kongming Lantern, and once again felt the magic of Nankey Island. The use of Kongming Lanterns to pray for blessings was a distant custom thousands of years ago. She still read it in ancient books.Only after going to such a custom did she know what the Kongming Lantern is, and the writing brush in her hand is also a very distant product, and she has never seen it in other places in the interstellar world.
But on Nankey Island, such a distant and romantic custom is still preserved.
She was a little surprised, but felt that when all this happened on Nankey Island, it wasn't amazing.
Nankey Island itself is amazing. It is an island that retains a unique slow rhythm when the time of all other planets in the interstellar world is speeding up.
Shi Nan recalled how Fu Zhao held the pen just now, dipped some of the ink that Fu Zhao had sharpened just now, held the pen straight but didn't know how to write it, she paused silently for a while, and then said, "I'm reallyUnexpectedly, there will be a place in the whole interstellar where residents can accept the integration of high-tech intelligent robots into their daily life, and are also accustomed to ancient customs and supplies such as Kongming lanterns and writing brushes..."
"ancient?"
Doubt flashed across Fu Zhao’s eyes, but it dissipated after a while, and became tainted with clarity. Seeing Shi Nan’s pen holding posture, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled, “It’s quite old, maybe it’s not commonly used in other places in Interstellar., but I have gotten used to it since I came to Nankey Island. I heard from my mother that Nankey Island has a long history, and the islanders like these 'old' customs or supplies very much, so I didn't eliminate them.Things, the flower throwing ceremony, the parade, and the Kongming lanterns you see are all the traditional cultural influences that children on the island need to accept..."
Fu Zhao stood up while talking, walked slowly to Shi Nan's side, took out a new paper from a stack of Kongming Lantern papers and spread it out on the table.
"The writing brush is not held like this." Fu Zhao said this sentence beside her, his voice was much softer, but it seemed to be constantly amplifying in her ears.
Shi Nan was stunned for a second, then a warm touch covered the back of her hand, and the fresh and mellow tea scent rushed over from the tip of her nose, and her hand was held by Fu Zhao's.
He didn't hold it all, but just supported the back of her hand.
The people are also very far apart, and there is even room for one person to stand between them.
Her eyes fell on Fu Zhao who was standing beside her. Some petals were blown by the wind and rolled down, falling on Fu Zhao's tied black hair and thin shoulders wrapped in a white shirt.The tiny ones slipped onto the slender eyelashes and couldn't hang down.
As if feeling itchy, Fu Zhao blinked, and the small petals hanging on it fell down, but his eyes became moist because of this discomfort, as if separated by a layer of fog, with a hazy texture,Clear and attractive.
"Look..."
"Should stretch out the palm naturally, with the thumb pointing up, the ring finger and little finger should be slightly bent, and the brush should be gently placed on the tip of the middle finger and ring finger..." (Note 1)
Fu Zhao spoke softly, took her hand, and put each of her fingers in the correct position.
The ink droplets dipped in the brush fell down and smudged on the Kongming Lantern paper, circle by circle.
"Is that so?" Shi Nan asked, looking at the dizzy circle of ink on the paper, still a little dazed, "But how do you write like this?"
She hasn't used a brush yet, and she hasn't even seen such an "ancient" item before, so it's normal not to.
Fu Zhao probably understood this too, and smiled lightly with his eyes bent, then, he curled his fingers and held her hand with his whole hand, "Then I'll teach you how to write a few words like this."
"You feel it."
Shi Nan moved her fingers that were held in the soft palm, the feeling of skin against skin, delicate and smooth, she said softly, "Yes."
So, the hand she was holding was carried by the slender and well-proportioned hand with well-defined joints, and ink marks were left on the paper stroke by stroke.
After trying it only once, Shi Nan fell in love with this ancient way of writing.
She couldn't help squinting sideways, and looked at Fu Zhao's side face that cast a layer of shadows. The light on the other side came down, and petals kept falling down.The light flickered slightly.
Fu Zhao didn't look at her. He didn't know if it was because he didn't dare to look at her, or because he needed to take her to write seriously.
But in short, Fu Zhao at this moment is very charming.
Shi Nan looked at it for a while, then withdrew his thoughts, and focused on the strokes falling in front of his eyes.
It was a character she didn't know, and it should be an ancient character in the "traditional culture" that Nankey Island learned.
"What's this word?" Shi Nan stared at the two big characters written on the paper, and couldn't help asking Fu Zhao.
After Fu Zhao finished writing the last stroke, she didn't let go of Shi Nan's hand immediately. Hearing Shi Nan's question, she looked sideways at Shi Nan, her eyes trembling slightly, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, with an unconscious expression.Loving and gentle,
"It's your name, Shi Nan."
