She bumped into Yun Guyuan who was squatting at the door and washing his hands. Yi Qingqing glanced at his hands covered in yellow mud, “What did you do?”
“I built a stove.” Yun Guyuan said faintly.
Yi Qingqing was shocked. How could this man be so capable?
“Can I take a look?” She was really curious.
This guy didn’t look like he was from a poor family, so how could he do these things?
Yun Guyuan nodded and stepped aside.
Yi Qingqing poked her head and saw the unusually regular stove that seemed to be measured with a ruler.
Suddenly, she felt that Uncle Yougen’s craftsmanship was not that good.
By the way, she also saw that Yun Guyuan’s house was completely different. He had covered the wall of the kang with newspapers.
There was also a straw mat on the bed, which seemed to be made by Aunt Dongmei. There was also a set of tables and chairs of the same style as those in her room. There were many books on the table.
The house was almost cleaned up.
“You built a great stove.” Yi Qingqing praised, “How come you can do this?”
“I’ve seen others do it before, and I’ve learned.” Yun Guyuan washed his hands clean and stood up.
When Yi Qingqing heard this, she wanted to give him the label of Master of Versailles1凡尔赛, Fán’ěrsài: Versailles (near Paris) / (slang) to humble brag / ostensibly modest, but in fact boastful. She praised him dryly and planned to continue pouring water.
After walking two steps, she felt that something was wrong. She turned her head and saw that Yun Guyuan was following behind her.
Seeing the bucket in his hand, Yi Qingqing understood that he was also going to pour dirty water.
Walking behind her, Yun Guyuan finally didn’t have to avoid her eyes.
He didn’t know since when, but he couldn’t help but focus on her.
Maybe it was when she handed melon seeds that he didn’t like to eat several times.
Maybe it was when he gave her his favorite candies, but she carelessly gave them to others.
Maybe it was when she was squeezed next to him on the bus.
Maybe it was when she was squatting and chatting with the Captain.
Maybe it was when she was cleaning the house last night.
Maybe it was when she went to fetch water this morning.
Or maybe now, when she had just taken a shower and looked very fresh.
When she walked past him, he could smell the special and pleasant body fragrance.
No, none of these were right.
He was afraid that from the first moment he saw her, he felt out of thin air that her delicate appearance couldn’t bear the hardship, and by then, she was already special to him.
After his father got into trouble, he had always been cold-hearted. Even his biological mother couldn’t bear it and couldn’t wait to send him to the countryside.
How could he have so many comments about her in secret after just one look? He was afraid that subconsciously, he had already felt the crisis.
He once thought that after seeing the love between his parents, which was once passionate but eventually turned cold due to reality, he would no longer have any thoughts about this thing.
But now, he seemed to pay too much attention to Yi Qingqing. Unknowingly, he had been moved by a girl whom he had just met not long ago.
Was this what his father said about love at first sight?
‘The clouds are solitary and distant, and the wisps of clouds are also clear and deep2*片云自孤远,丛筱亦清深, piàn yún zì gū yuǎn, cóng xiǎo yì qīng shēn
If you notice, there is the character of their name in this sentence.
From “Morning Leaving the County House in the Forest” by Zhang Jiuling of the Tang Dynasty.
The full text is below.
“Walking in the North Forest in the morning, Xiao San opened his lapels.
Seeing Lin Shangyue again, Juanjuan has not yet sunk.
The clouds are solitary and distant, and the wisps of clouds are also clear and deep.
Only when there is no reason to be precious can you know that things are outside the heart.”’. Even Yi Qingqing’s name seemed to match him very well.
When he realized this sudden feeling, Yun Guyuan was rarely uneasy for a while, but soon, he calmed down again.
She was as bright and warm as a spring flower, making people yearn for her, but he was already a tree in late autumn, which was lonely. Why bother to say it out loud and disturb others?
Liking was a personal matter, and there was no need to rush for a result.
It was precisely because he thought about these things clearly that he regained his composure. But he had already given away half of his heart, and he couldn’t take it back for a while.
