Chapter 122 Feeling comfortable and happy
Chapter 122 Joy of Freedom
The next morning, the two of them woke up to the clear and melodious chirping of birds in Mogan Mountain, looked at each other, tenderly and sweetly, and said good morning to each other.
After washing up, Xia Jinxian made a pot of green tea. The two of them sat cross-legged by the bay window, looking at the early morning mist in the mountains. It was a cloudy day today.
Xia Jinxian connected her cell phone to the speaker in the room and played "Cloudy" by Karen Mok.
The water vapor in the mountains renders the distant mountains misty, giving it a classical landscape beauty, which is more artistic than a sunny day.
In the stereo, Karen Mok's low and unique voice sang, "In short, in those years, you two were not destined to be destined..."
The lyrics really fit the occasion. Xia Jinxian jumped to the next song, but Xu Yanqing said, "Listen to it again."
Xia Jinxian He shook his head and said, "This song is not suitable for us."
Xu Yanqing smiled, took the tea she poured for him, stood up after drinking, and said, "Let's go have breakfast."
Xia Jinxian leaned on the lazy sofa He paralyzed and said, "I don't want to move."
Xu Yanqing smiled and could only take a book from the bookshelf and sit with her.
Xia Jinxian checked her phone and chose a new song called "Life is Hard".
"If you don't have the ability to compete with hegemony, you are still a few years older than him... Let's be together again in another era, and wait for the thorns to wither all along the way... I am determined to wait until the end, and I can afford to wait..."
Listening to the powerful singing voice of the male singer, Xia Jinxian She showed him the lyrics and said, "Every time I listened to this song before, I always thought about what would have happened if we hadn't broken up. But now that I listen to it, I feel that the world is peaceful."
Xu Yanqing finished reading the lyrics and nodded with a smile.
The owner of the B&B knew that they arrived late yesterday, so he called them specifically to ask if they needed food delivered, so he simply asked the owner to deliver the food.
The boss brought the meal in and said that there are lay practitioners here who are teaching Zen. If the two of you are interested, you can go and listen after breakfast.
Xu Yanqing didn't care, but after dinner, Xia Jinxian wanted to go out for a walk. Since there was a Zen lecture, it didn't hurt to listen, so she went with her.
The layman was talking about eating today. He was talking about Buddhists not being able to eat coriander and saying that there were evil spirits on coriander. Some of the believers who were listening to the sermon below actually wrote it down in notes.
He went on to say that Buddha loved to eat dragon fruit, and told many stories about the relationship between Buddha and dragon fruit.
Xu Yanqing listened for a while, and Xia Jinxian looked at him. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Coming out of the meditation hall, Xu Yanqing shook his head and said, "Everyone comes out to show off and cheat."
Xia Jinxian covered her mouth and laughed, "How did he come up with the idea that Buddha likes to eat dragon fruit?"
Xu Yanqing couldn't help laughing and said, "Maybe he likes to eat it himself. Well, my mother was very superstitious about these things. She invited an eminent monk who was said to be a Taoist to tell her fortune and pray for her. The eminent monk asked her to go to the temple he presided over to burn high-quality incense. One column of high-quality incense was worth 20,000 yuan. It was a good calculation, but it happened. My mother still believed in this and always said that the Buddha would bless her, but now it seems that he has blessed her and allowed her to fall off the cliff and not continue to be obsessed with it, which can be regarded as settling the cause and effect. "
This is Xu Yanqing these days . Come, for the first time he spoke frankly about his parents.
Xia Jinxian held his hand and couldn't imagine how two such snobbish parents could give birth to such a proud son.
She asked, "Are you like your grandma?"
Xu Yanqing held Xia Jinxian's hand and hummed, "My grandma was actually very opposed to my father marrying my mother back then. My grandma was born in a war-torn era and never went to school, but I like reading books. When I was a child, I loved telling me stories about Yue Fei’s loyalty to the country, Qi Jiguang’s fight against Japanese pirates, and Lin Zexu’s campaign to eliminate cigarettes in Humen.”
Xia Jinxian sighed, “Family education is really important.”
Xu Yanqing smiled and said, “Our future. Child, I will teach him well."
Xia Jinxian suddenly thought of what Wang Fei said and couldn't help laughing.
Xu Yanqing asked, "Why are you laughing?" Xia
Jinxian said, "You should help me with your homework first."
Xu Yanqing said with a wooden face, "I'm afraid I'm not that patient. " , "Just look at the way Chen Ming tutors his homework. He's about to have a heart attack, let alone me."
Xia Jinxian burst into laughter.
The two of them wandered to the Zen temple next to the B&B. It was connected to the B&B and there were monks knocking on chimes.
Xia Jinxian seemed to go back to nine years ago, when it was also her birthday, and the two of them went to Hangzhou.
At Lingyin Temple, Xu Yanqing told her that this was a chime, and knocking it meant that they had finished singing a verse.
Knocking on the chime also represents joy. Being free and happy is what the Buddha said about getting rid of suffering and finding happiness.
Xia Jinxian said, "I didn't expect it to be so long."
Xu Yanqing knew that she was talking about the two of them traveling together back then. He pulled Xia Jinxian and said, "Listen."
The chirping of birds in the mountains, accompanied by the sound of singing sutras, the chime was knocked Move, the lingering sound lingers.
Xu Yanqing said, "After I separated from you, I also started to read Buddhist scriptures, look at the cause and effect of blessings and misfortunes, opened up wisdom, and learned to let go, but I still couldn't let go. I thought it was greed, anger and ignorance, but you are so warm in my heart, just like It is an eternal lamp. When you are here, happiness is there. If you go out, I don’t know how to continue. Only by loving you can I know how to love millions of people, so that I can be old and young. I am not a monk. Man, since I can't let go of loving you, I won't let go."
Xia Jinxian's eyes turned red as she was held by his warm hands.
Xia Jinxian said, "You were taught the principles of life by your grandma when you were a child, and I was taught by you."
Because I was loved by Xu Yanqing, I realized that I was worthy of being loved.
Only then were the shadows of childhood healed, and only then did I believe that my mother really loved me.
My mother has been silent for so many years just because she dislikes herself.
Thinking of the past between her mother and Mr. Wu, Xia Jinxian sighed again and said, "I am still lucky after all."
After coming out of the Zen Temple, and further forward, there is a wide and popular infinity swimming pool built by the B&B. It is cloudy and windy today. The water is cold.
There were only a few girls posing for photos in skirts.
The two people held hands along the edge of the swimming pool and walked to the side of the mountains. Clouds and mist surrounded the mountains. The sound of water in the swimming pool was shallow and continued to flow into the circulating water inlet along the edge.
This scene is so beautiful.
Walk to a waterless place and sit down to watch the clouds rise.
The air here is fresh, and although it smells like the disinfectant water from the swimming pool, it doesn't detract from the fragrant scent of grass and trees in the mountains.
Xia Jinxian was a little moved when she saw the girl wearing a bikini, but Xu Yanqing was afraid that she would catch cold. "It's cloudy today, so it's not suitable to go into the water. How about we go to the island someday when it's hotter?
" It’s easy to be allergic to the sun, so forget it. “
After all, time is not forgiving.
Xu Yanqing asked, "Would it be better to go to the beach in the evening?"
Anyway, being with him was good every moment. Xia Jinxian was being held, and Xu Yanqing asked her where she wanted to go.
In fact, you can go anywhere.
Xia Jinxian thought about how lonely it was to travel around the mountains and rivers alone and see the scenery of the four seasons in these years. "Every time during the National Day and Spring Festival these years, even though I was alone, I was still free. I thought about you and lived my own life. It didn't count." It's too bad, but now I'm happier with you by my side."
Xu Yanqing nodded. In the past few years, he has traveled all over the country and even went abroad for business trips from time to time, but he was just alone. This feeling was the same as mine.
Of course, one person is very free, but two people are warmer. Xu Yanqing said, "There is a compulsory vacation at the beginning of next month. Where do you want to
go?" Xia Jinxian thought for a while and asked, "Can I go abroad?"
Xu Yanqing nodded and said, "Of course Okay."
Xia Jinxian bit her finger and said, "You really need to plan it carefully, you can't just do it casually."
Xu Yanqing nodded meaningfully, "You choose a place, and I will arrange it."
He knows that there are many people who can help. Arranging a ground pick-up is of course the best option.
The two held hands and walked all the way. Moganshan has opened many B&Bs in recent years.
After walking around for a while, it was almost eleven o'clock. People were noisy and it gradually became lively.
The two people went up the mountain, but unfortunately there were people everywhere. They were all here for vacation. Most of them slept until three o'clock in the morning and didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. This time is when people go out to play.
Two people went to have lunch at a farmhouse restaurant that had just opened and had good reviews.
A portion of local chicken soup, a portion of stir-fried wild vegetables, and a plate of whitebait scrambled eggs are more than enough for two people.
Xu Yanqing knew that Xia Jinxian wanted sweets after dinner, but he stopped her from ordering glutinous rice dumplings. Then Xia Jinxian knew that there was a surprise, so she ate her meal obediently and followed Xu Yanqing back to the B&B.
The sun occasionally shows its face. In mid-July, the mountain is not hot but very sunny.
It’s also fun to go back to the B&B, drink tea and read a book.
Xia Jinxian was waiting for dessert. Xu Yanqing took a tangerine peel candy at the front desk of the B&B to send her away. Seeing how angry she was, Xu Yanqing smiled and coaxed her upstairs.
He said he had some things to do.
When checking in, Xu Yanqing had already made an appointment with the boss and knew that cakes could be made here.
Xu Yanqing let Xia Jinxian take a nap, while he ran to the kitchen that was open to the public and asked the boss to ask the pastry chef to help him make a chocolate black forest for Xia Jinxian.
Although it doesn't look very good, it still tastes good.
The pastry chef helped with the frosting. Xu Yanqing returned to the car, took the gift for her and went upstairs with the cake.
When she opened the door and walked in, Xia Jinxian was lying under the newly exposed sun, sleeping peacefully.
Xu Yanqing put the cake in the refrigerator, hid the gift, lay down next to her, and held her in his arms.
When the two of them woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon, and the sun was gradually setting in the west.
The room faced south, and the sunlight from the west dyed the sky red, and the clouds on the horizon were as colorful as burning flowers.
The two of them leaned against the window and watched the sunset. The tired birds returned to their nests, feeling peaceful.
Xu Yanqing took out the cake, put in the candles, held it on the low table and said, "Xiao Xian, happy birthday."
Xia Jinxian looked at the cake that didn't look very good, and realized that this man had made the cake for herself.
She sat up happily, made a wish obediently, and then blew out the candle.
This time, Xu Yanqing didn't ask her what she wanted. He handed her the knife and said, "Cut a piece."
The cake was 4 inches, small.
Xia Jinxian cut two-thirds of the cake and left one-third for Xu Yanqing. With the mellow chocolate flavor, sweet cream and cherry jam, Xia Jinxian smiled and said, "It's delicious."
While she was eating the cake, Xu Yanqing Taking out the prepared gifts, Xia Jinxian opened the gift box. The bag inside really surprised her.
"Harry Winston?" Xia Jinxian looked at the size of the box and knew it was a necklace. Xu Yanqing said, "Last time I went to Langham with you for afternoon tea, didn't you look at it for a long time?" Do you like it?"
Xia Jinxian held the box and said, "I like the box."
Xu Yanqing laughed.
"I'm really sorry. If I buy that one, I probably have to sell my apartment in Beijing first."
Xia Jinxian smiled with her eyes narrowed.
But this et-Me-Not diamond necklace costs nearly 100,000.
Xu Yanqing said , "The lecture fees I depend on have been saved for a while."
No wonder he always goes out to take classes on weekends.
Xia Jinxian handed over the necklace and Xu Yanqing put it on her carefully. Xia Jinxian asked him, "Does it look good?" Xu Yanqing said, "She is good-looking."
They were all swept on the floor because she thought she had vulgar taste. She never bought clothes from those brands again.
Because every time she passed by the store where she and Xu Yanqing had gone, and saw the brands of clothes he had bought for her, she was heartbroken.
Even though she had gradually become more confident and rich later, when she thought about how she had surpassed him and how he was with Han Yun, she couldn't help but wonder, was she still not good enough for him in the end?
She said to Xu Yanqing, "Han Yun likes this brand of jewelry very much."
Xu Yanqing was stunned and said, "I don't know what she likes. I just saw you looking at the window that day. I think you probably like it."
Xia Jinxian Wearing the necklace, she said to him, "I paid attention because she and your mother came to see me at that time. That day, I saw her wearing a very beautiful necklace. Later I went to England and saw the same style. I asked about the price. According to the situation at that time, I would have to save ten years of salary to afford it."
Xu Yanqing shook her hand, and Xia Jinxian looked at him and asked, "You don't think I'm just a fool. Crown?"
Xu Yanqing kissed the back of her hand. Thinking about it, those things hurt her deeply.
He pulled her over, held her in his arms and said, "Xiao Xian, don't worry about that, be more confident.
" I am not good enough. Your mother said that I was not good enough for you. Now, I am still afraid that I am not good enough for you in the eyes of others."
Xu Yanqing did not expect that a necklace would bring back these unpleasant memories for her. However, these words said. It's better to come out than rot inside.
"Xiaoxian, I have never had this idea. I feel very happy and comfortable when I am with you. In my eyes, you are more beautiful than anyone else. Now, I still feel that I hurt you too much. I can't give you happiness, it's because I don't deserve you." His words were very sincere.
Xia Jinxian expressed the knots in her heart over the years, which was a kind of catharsis. She looked in the mirror and said, "Just coax me."
Xu Yanqing shook his head, caressed her cheek and said, "When you were twenty, you were pure. Now in your thirties, you are charming. Even if you have gray hair, I can still see your beauty. In my eyes, you are Unlike others, the most important thing is to put yourself in a comfortable position and marry the person you are most comfortable with. Isn't it the most important thing to be a companion? "
