Chapter 73
"Hey, what else to do?" Meng Xing looked at Chu Youan innocently, "To be honest, I'm a little hungry."
"Can you bear it?"
"No, it's going to cluck."
"But neither can I."
"you can."
"No." Meng Xing covered his mouth with his hand to prevent him from rebutting.
The two were deadlocked like this, and Chu Youan's phone on the shore kept ringing.
Meng Xing suppressed a smile, "I'll open the door first, you can soak in cold water for a while."
"You need to soak it too." Chu Youan threw him into the water, but supported the back of his head with his hand to prevent him from choking on the water.
Meng Xing was taken aback, covered his chest and looked at him teasingly, "I've become angry from embarrassment."
"Ding dong—"
Chu Youan: "...you wait, I'll open the door."
With his shirt still on, he put on a bathrobe outside and entered the room.Meng Xing took a deep breath and sank into the water. He got up from the pool after paddling, and went to the bathroom to take a hot bath.Chu Youan also rushed to warm up his body.
While the two were taking a bath, the restaurant staff arranged the dishes and left the villa.
Meng Xing came out wiping her hair, "Candlelight dinner?"
"Hmm." Chu Youan pulled the chair away for him, and poured a small glass of wine while standing beside him, "South African wine is delicious, taste it."
Meng Xing took a sip from his wine glass appreciatively, "Well, not bad, the taste is a bit sweet."
Chu Youan sat down opposite him.
The small square table was filled with exquisite dishes. They looked at each other through the candlelight. After the glasses collided, the air was filled with the aroma of liqueur.
The meal took three hours, and they chatted wildly, seemingly endlessly.However, time did not dissipate the charming atmosphere before the meal, but it became more and more intense, as if the airtight room was sprayed with perfume, and the air and fragrance were lingering, long and delicate.
When Chu You stabilized the wine, he never thought that the two of them could drink a whole bottle of wine. The original idea was just to drink some wine so that they could sleep and adjust the time difference.Who would have thought that the little guy would be captivating as soon as he arrived, the wine seemed to be a tool to heighten the atmosphere, they didn't eat much food, and drank the wine cleanly.
Alcohol catalyzed the aroma, making this night stained with other sweet and greasy flavors.
When they opened their eyes again, it was afternoon local time, and Chu Youan's plan to adjust the time difference completely fell through. He kicked Meng Xing lightly, "According to this rhythm, we will leave South Africa without even being able to adjust the time difference."
"Then don't adjust." Meng Xing smiled contentedly, "Brother, I'm hungry."
Chu Youan patted his stomach through the quilt, "Get up and go out."
The city has beautiful natural scenery, backed by mountains and facing the sea.There is no way to go to sea at this time, so Chu Youan can only take Meng Xing to the beach for a walk.
Meng Xing has liked watching the sea since he was a child. The sound of waves hitting the shore can make people feel calm. He has always felt that a large part of the magnificence of the sea comes from the sound of the waves.
Including the island, the sea seen in Guang City.
Not here.
The sea water is dark blue, and Meng Xing really understands the word "deep", and such "deep" makes the waves extremely white, like a piece of white jade, which is invisible but glows.
When the waves hit the reef, there will be no sense of swallowing by the waves. This kind of collision and fusion of colors is infinite tranquility.
gorgeous.
So beautiful that only the sound of the wind can be heard.
This is truly vast.
"Let's get up early tomorrow and go to the Cape of Good Hope, to see the end of the world." Meng Xing tore off the corner of his clothes that was blown up by the sea breeze.
Chu Youan agreed.
"There is a city at the end of the world." Chu Youan said.
"I know, Ushuaia, that's geographical."
Chu Youan laughed out loud, "In what sense is the Cape of Good Hope the end of the world?"
Meng Xing said dryly, "It's also in the geographical sense."
Chu Youan took his hand, "Yes."
Meng Xing had a flash of inspiration, raised his face and said excitedly: "The Cape of Good Hope is in the sense of geographical exploration and discovery, and Ushuaia is the end of objective existence. There is still a difference between the two."
"Yes, you are quite right." Chu Youan said like coaxing a child.
Meng Xing took back the smile that he just raised, "You are really perfunctory."
"No, you wronged me."
"You are just perfunctory."
"Then I will compensate you?"
"How to compensate? Tell me."
Chu Youan thought for a while, "I will take you to Ushuaia another day."
"Good! Go to Ushuaia and take a boat to Antarctica!"
Chu Youan laughed.
Meng Xing said again: "We have to join a tour group in Antarctica, isn't it a little dangerous to travel independently? Remember to buy insurance before departure."
"Boss Meng is very thoughtful and will listen to you."
"Mr. Chu, your words are also very perfunctory."
"It's hard to pass today, right?" Chu Youan squeezed his hand hard.
"Yeah, anyway, I have the final say in our family. You exhausted your strength last night, so you must be perfunctory today."
"Not in shape."
There are many opportunities to see the sea in this city, and the two returned to the urban area after a short stay, wandering the streets and alleys, watching the local customs.The tourism industry here is very developed, and many tourists can be seen coming and going.
When it was time for dinner, Chu Youan drove Meng Xing to the Daheiguo restaurant.
"Have you checked the strategy?" Meng Xing asked.
"Of course, don't be prepared for any surprises?" Chu Youan raised an eyebrow, "Here we are, get out of the car."
The restaurant is facing the sea, but there is no beach here, it is full of stones, so the restaurant is surrounded by fences.Walking along the fence passage, there is an entrance similar to a canopy tent. When he was about to lower his head to enter, Meng Xing raised his head and saw seagulls under the sunset.
Meng Xing laughed and reached out to grab Chu Youan before entering the restaurant.
The restaurant is the most original decoration, several sky tents gather together, under the tents are tables and chairs made of stone and wood, and the place to take meals is in the open space in the center of several sky tents.
At the top is a large oven, where guests take freshly baked bread, slice it by themselves, and then walk forward with the plate, and ask a grandpa for some cooked sea rainbows in front of a big pot.
Further on, there are baked pastries on the black net baking tray, as well as fresh fish and lobster in various ways.
The freshest ingredients are used in the most primitive way of cooking, enjoying the simplest happiness.
After taking the meal, find a seat by the sea and sit down, the seagulls are flying, someone is playing the piano and singing not far away, and the people in the restaurant follow the harmony, laugh and dance at will.
The sun slowly sank under their gaze, and finally sank to the horizon.
The only pity is that they can't drink when they come out to drive.
They moved from sitting opposite each other to leaning side by side, and the seven or eight young people at the next table could laugh out loud with a few words. Every time they laughed, Meng Xing would make a few words along with him, or bump into Chu Youan.Cup, drink the sparkling water in one gulp.
The bearded gentleman who played the piano in the restaurant walked up to the two of them with his piano in his arms, and asked, "Are you a couple?"
Meng Xing happily said loudly: "Yes!"
Mr. Beard said again: "Can I sing a song for you?"
Meng Xing: "Of course, thank you very much!"
The strings were plucked, cheerful music played, and Meng Xing hugged Chu Youan and asked for a kiss.
The rhythm of the music was very simple, and both of them hummed along with the sound of the piano and shook their heads together.
It was a happy night enough to forget all the troubles.
However, Meng Xing didn't have any worries, he was always so happy by Chu Youan's side.
"elder brother."
"Yep?"
"It's okay, I'll just call you."
Chu Youan glanced at him, "Why are you drunk even without drinking?"
Meng Xing giggled again, "Everyone gets drunk if they don't get drunk."
Meng Xing was quiet for a while and called again: "Brother."
Chu Youan didn't answer this time.
Meng Xing glared at him, "Speak up."
Chu Youan: "Here."
Meng Xing: "You are perfunctory to me."
Chu Youan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Just like a child."
Meng Xing answered smoothly: "That's right."
Back at the small villa, Meng Xing threw himself on Chu Youan, Chu Youan held back a smile and pulled him off his body, "You are a child today, don't do it."
Meng Xing: "???"
Chu Youan didn't do it if he said no, he pushed Meng Xing to the bathroom to take a shower, and the two of them nestled on the bed and brushed their phones for a while before forcing them to sleep.
As soon as Meng Xing made a move, Chu Youan said "children", which made Meng Xing very angry, and kicked him on the ground for the last time.
Thinking about getting up early and going out, and having to sleep hard if he couldn't fall asleep, Chu Youan sang a lullaby to Meng Xing before ending the difficult process of falling asleep.
Driving to the Cape of Good Hope, there is a long section of the road along the cliffs on the stone wall. The scenery is extremely magnificent and beautiful. Meng Xing opened the car windows all the way to let the sea breeze hit his face.
They were very lucky, the two days were sunny, the blue sky and the deep blue water were really the same color.
When you arrive at the Cape of Good Hope scenic spot, you need to take a cable car up the mountain, and then climb a flight of stairs to the lighthouse.
Every few steps Meng Xing had to stop for a while, he looked at the sea below and was speechless.
Everywhere you look is blue, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet here, the sky and the sea are not completely connected, and there is a dazzling light between them.
Meng Xing believes that there is a ladder in that light, which can lead to the sky.
When he reached the lighthouse, Meng Xing said slowly, "It's too early to say what I said yesterday."
After a second of reaction, Chu Youan understood what Meng Xing was referring to. He put his arms around Meng Xing's shoulders and said softly, "Then today's scenery can be changed to a better word."
"What word?" Meng Xing looked at him and asked.
Chu You settled down for a while, then said, "Endless."
Meng Xing's gaze moved away from Chu Youan's profile, and landed on the sea again, "Very good."
Meng Xing: "Grandpa is quite right. In just a few dozen years of life, you must see this beautiful world with the people around you who took 20 or 30 years to meet."
"I always disliked the word beautiful before, but now I find that it is really beautiful, it covers thousands of landscapes, and it can describe the world."
“Here, is very very very beautiful.”
"The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up, and the mountains and rivers were picturesque—"
Meng Xing leaned on the railing with his elbows, and Chu Youan circled him behind him, listening to his sighs.
"Ah, the last sentence can only be read on the surface. There are no heroes at the moment." The smile on Meng Xing's face suddenly became lively and lovely.
Chu Youan didn't answer, maybe Meng Xing mentioned his grandfather, and he rarely thought of his grandfather who always looked like an old urchin in front of him.
That's right, grandpa also walked through decades of life step by step from a young age to his current age. He thought he was wronged when his grandpa was still young.
He knew this truth all along, but he didn't understand it in his heart.
He thought that he didn't blame grandpa all these years after the incident, but he stubbornly believed that the little sun was his salvation and his light, so under the light-deep in his heart, he also complained.
Chu Youan couldn't describe how he felt in his heart at this moment, he just felt relieved, all the burdens on his body were unloaded, and his heart was like this vast ocean, vast and endless.
He suddenly said, "Xiao Xing, now I only have love for you."
Meng Xing looked up blankly, "Huh?"
Chu Youan didn't explain, "You stay by yourself for a while, I'll make a call."
For so many years, it seems that he has never thanked his grandfather for his upbringing and teaching. He has always thanked Meng Xing.
Thank you grandpa, and for his little sun, love him, put aside the obsessions of the past, and love him.
Now it's night in China, Chu Youan's call was quickly connected, but the first sentence from his grandfather's mouth was: "Grandson, don't ask me for anything, if you can't handle it, just let it go."
Chu Youan: "..."
Forget it, it seems too hypocritical to say "thank you for the upbringing" to this old man, so be it.
