Chapter 216 The Sun
The two of them got up before dawn.
It was a bit cold outside, so everyone put on thin coats.
Xie Bingran wore a complete set of silver sportswear, with a tall body and neat short hair, looking very heroic.
She put her hands into her pockets and looked up and down at Xu Chen, who was still putting on his coat.
Xu Chen put on a thin jacket:
"I have to follow your example and wear sportswear from now on. It's light and comfortable.
These jackets, jeans, khakis, etc. are quite uncomfortable to wear. ”
Xie Bingran: "Then next time I pick up clothes in the team, I will pick up a set one size larger for you."
Xu Chen: "Are they divided into men and women?"
Xie Bingran lowered his head and looked at his clothes:
"It seems that there is no difference..."
Xu Chen: "..."
It was too early and the hotel restaurant was not open.
Xie Bingran dug out another nut bar, broke it in half and ate it with Xu Chen as a morning energy supply.
In fact, the sunrise can be seen from the hotel in the middle of the mountain, but the two decided to climb to the highest point of Baiyun Mountain.
In terms of absolute altitude, Baiyun Mountain can only be regarded as a small mountain. It is located at the highest point of "Moxing Ridge" and has an altitude of less than 400 meters.
The street lights were on on the way up the mountain, and there were many tourists traveling together, most of whom were going to watch the sunrise.
Among them are some well-built elderly people, who look like they have continued to exercise every day after retirement.
Xu Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
These energetic old people may only be in their sixties.
For example, many poor villagers in Tiancheng's hometown are still doing hard physical work in their sixties or seventies to support their family's livelihood...
……
At Mount Moxing Ridge, some early risers have gathered on the platform for watching the sunrise.
They leaned together in twos and threes, waiting for the sunrise.
The eastern sky began to glow faintly with white light.
Xu Chenping took a breath, the air in the mountains was refreshing.
Xie Bingran was not out of breath, pointing to an open space:
"Let's go there!"
This is a good location, with a large flat rock for the two of them to sit next to each other.
Maybe it's not facing the east, so no one comes to sit. But in fact, the view is just right, which is much better than being crowded with people on the east platform.
The two sat side by side, feeling the coolness of the mountains in the early morning.
It’s still midsummer, and it’s rare to feel the coolness in Yangcheng.
The viewing platform here overlooks Yangcheng.
Under the faint light from the east, the outline of low mountains in the distance is gradually outlined, as well as the numerous buildings wrapped by the mountains.
Xie Bingran looked at the horizon in the distance and whispered:
"Xu Chen... I didn't expect that I would appear here in this way."
She suddenly lowered her head, seemingly showing a hint of loneliness:
“I originally found a job in an electronics factory, which is next to Yangcheng.
I thought that my life would be like that.
Be a factory girl, continue to smoke and fight, and change your place to be 'Brother Bing'...
At that time, I was still imagining what the legendary "big city" would look like. I could go out and have a look when the factory was on holiday. ”
Xu Chen smiled:
"Now that you have seen it, are you satisfied?"
Xie Bingran turned to look at Xu Chen: "I'm very satisfied."
She looked at the distant sky again:
“The salary in the electronics factory at that time was less than 3,000 yuan a month.
Now I have participated in a competition, and the total prize money is 300,000...
I'm afraid that one day I will open my eyes and realize that this is all fake. ”
……
There was a sudden commotion among the crowd in front.
The men and women who crowded in front raised their cameras and mobile phones. Xu Chen and Xie Bingran looked up and saw a ray of red light quietly peeking out of the horizon.
That ray of light was soft and shy at first, but in an inadvertent moment, it became blazing and dazzling, outlines the winding mountains and city buildings with a gorgeous golden edge.
And the fiery red sphere finally broke free from the shackles of the horizon and jumped into the sky with an unquestionable sense of power.
Ignite, the city's back.
……
Xie Bingran looked at the red sun and suddenly whispered:
"Xu Chen, that sun...
It seems to be you! ”
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xie Bingran's side face.
She was still looking at the sky, dazed and a little lost:
"I always feel that I am living in the dark night... It is you who shine the sunshine in.
There was a time in between when I lost you.
But fortunately, you are back now, and you have brought the sunshine in again..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The rays of the morning sun shone on her delicate and beautiful profile, and under the floating broken hair, her big eyes sparkled.
Xu Chen lowered his head slightly and found Xie Bingran's right hand tightly grasping the corner of his clothes.
"I've lost you once and I'm scared...
I accidentally lost you again. ”
She turned to look at Xu Chen.
The face is full of tears...
Xu Chen's heart shrank, and a soft area deep in his heart was touched again.
He stretched out his left hand and gently held Xie Bingran's right hand that was holding the corner of his clothes.
Xie Bingran pursed her lips and blurred her big eyes.
Xu Chen raised his right hand and wiped away a hot tear on her cheek with the back of his finger.
"Silly girl, you won't lose me."
Xie Bingran bit her lip:
"If I do something wrong, just tell me.
I will change it, I promise...
Don't suddenly ignore me like you did before..."
Tears couldn't stop rolling down her delicate and beautiful cheeks.
Xu Chen may not have realized it until this moment.
He had been drifting away from Xie Bingran since junior high school, and he no longer even said a word. How much it hurt her heart.
Xu Chen suddenly remembered that day, after training on the dilapidated playground, Xie Bingran boarded the bus back to No. 1 Middle School...
The moment the car door was about to close, Xie Bingran suddenly asked:
"Xu Chen, why did you suddenly talk to me?"
The real answer to this question was originally very simple, but I couldn't explain it to Xie Bingran. After all, the original intention of rebirth and becoming a "future rich woman" was somewhat far-fetched and dishonorable.
But at this moment.
On the low highest peak of this southern city, under the bright red sun, in the blurry sight of my poor deskmate...
The answer that seemed simple and straightforward to Xu Chen himself became extremely complicated.
It turns out that the reason why I’m talking to you again is not just to get close to you, the future rich woman.
It turns out that during those years when I didn’t say a word to you, I really wanted to talk to you.
It turns out that I got along with that girl named Zhao Linlin for a certain period of time just because she occasionally likes to be fed by me like you.
It turns out that in my thirty or forty years of life, you were the biggest regret...
Xu Chen reached out and touched Xie Bingran's tear-filled cheek.
He had a questioning tone:
"Xie Bingran, can you hug me?"
