It was another weekend, and Autumn Beam went out early. After a few trips, he finally arrived at Yellow Crane Tower earlier than Xie Ling and waited for her at the main entrance. It was the weekend and there was smog. She must have been stuck in traffic. It had been autumn for a long time, and the chill was getting stronger. The morning wind mixed with the water vapor from the river blew on his face, making him feel cold. The withered leaves of the sycamore tree fell with the wind, swaying like a lonely boat swaying in the sea. The endless falling trees were in front, and the rolling Yangtze River was behind. Within the universe, there was a desolate scene. Autumn was the sad season of life, making people inevitably sad.
"Autumn Beam!"
Autumn Beam focused her eyes and saw Xie Ling waving at him from the opposite side of the road.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Xie Ling, who had crossed the road and walked to Autumn Beam's side, asked apologetically.
Looking into her eyes, which were clear and warm, Autumn Beam smiled and said,""Not long. I just came here for a while. Let's go in!"
After buying a ticket, the view was widened. Yellow Crane Tower was indeed a famous building in Jiangnan. It stood awe-inspiring on Snake Mountain and had a magnificent aura. In the rustling autumn wind, he looked like a vigorous elder overlooking all living beings and witnessing the success or failure of the world. Climbing up the building, one could see the Yangtze River and Han River, and the scenery of the three towns. The Yangtze River Bridge flew from north to south, and people and cars flowed endlessly on the bridge. From this distance, the tall buildings and pedestrians on the road across the river could be seen clearly.
"The old man has already left on the Yellow Crane, and there is only Yellow Crane Tower here. Qingchuan is full of Hanyang trees, and the grass is lush on Parrot Island. The yellow crane never returned, and the white clouds were empty for a thousand years. Where is the village pass at dusk? The misty river makes people sad.”It was unknown where the Parrot Island in the ancient poem had gone, but there were still some willow branches hanging down on the Hanyang River embankment, which was poetic. Xie Ling was in a good mood. She closed her eyes and smiled, quietly letting her thoughts fly. Autumn Beam didn't dare to disturb her and just looked at her silently. A fair face, a charming smile, long hair that fluttered in the wind…
"Yes, you, why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing. I just think you're good-looking.”
"Nonsense!" Xie Ling was embarrassed.
"I'm not talking nonsense. You're just beautiful.”
Xie Ling was amused by him." Let's go downstairs and take a walk."”
"Yes!"
They followed the map and toured the rest of the scenic spots one by one. Along the way, Xie Ling followed Autumn Beam closely, as if she was afraid of getting lost. Autumn Beam was in high spirits. He hoped that she was happy too. It was already noon, time to eat.
"You must be hungry."
"A little."
"Then let's go eat."
"Mm, alright!"
Just as the two of them were about to step out of the gate of the scenic spot, a small stall behind them shouted at them,"Young man, buy a souvenir for your girlfriend!”When Autumn Beam heard this, she was stunned at first, but then she was overjoyed. The stall owner really knew how to talk, and he felt very happy. Then, he turned to look at Xie Ling. Her face was as red as an apple, and he felt a little helpless and embarrassed.
"Boss, don't talk nonsense. She's not my girlfriend!”
"It's impossible that it's not. I think the two of you are quite compatible.”
Autumn Beam stopped arguing. He walked to the stall and looked at the neatly arranged souvenirs. "That one then."
"This? Good, you have good taste."
Xie Ling also walked over slowly and took a closer look. It was a glass gourd-shaped pendant with a painting of the Yellow Crane Tower on one side of the wall and a long red rope tied to the end.
"What is the name of this beautiful girl?”
"Um…"
Before Xie Ling could react, Autumn Beam answered,"Xie Ling. Thank you, thank you."
"What a good name. Her name is as good as her personality!”The peddler smiled at Autumn Beam.
As he spoke, he used the special brush to write the word 'Spirit' on the other side of the wall. "Then, young man, what about you?"
"I, I'm Autumn Beam."
"Which word?"
"Boss, what are you doing? Are you going to draw my name on it? No need, she's really not my girlfriend.”
"Look, I wrote her name on the right, leaving such a big space on the left. It doesn't look good!”
Autumn Beam also felt helpless. She turned to look at Xie Ling, but Xie Ling just didn't say anything. Yes, this was too sudden. How was a girl supposed to react? Moreover, if he wrote it down, it would mean that he had acquiesced to the relationship of 'girlfriend'. In fact, Autumn Beam had not even confessed her feelings. How could he let a girl take the initiative?
"It's better, it's better not to write it." Seeing her reaction, Autumn Beam did not want to embarrass her.
"Have you thought it through? Not writing?"
"Yes, I've thought it through."
"Alright, it's done. Take it."
Autumn Beam took it and played with it carefully with both hands. The word "spirit" was written beautifully, and it looked as if it could move. He passed it to Xie Ling, who took it with both hands and put it on.
"Boss, how much is it?"
“20。”
"Here!"
"Thank you. I wish you two lovers will be together!”This boss was really sweet with his words and knew how to do business.
Not far from the door, there was a food street. Of course, there were all kinds of restaurants. He could casually find a restaurant that he liked and sit down. The waiter served tea and the boss handed over the menu. Autumn Beam took it and handed it to Xie Ling." You order."”
"Oh, okay!" Xie Ling took the menu and flipped it open. Her expression changed, and she immediately handed it back to Autumn Beam." You order!"”
"What's wrong?" Autumn Beam opened the menu in confusion. Oh my god, the dishes here were surprisingly expensive. They were three times the price of the restaurants around the school that they often ate at. Thinking about it, there weren't many restaurants around the scenic area, so they had nothing to fear about asking for a price. Xie Ling was too embarrassed to let Autumn Beam spend money, so she didn't want to order. Autumn Beam couldn't let Xie Ling go hungry, so she could only bite the bullet and order two side dishes.
"Finished? Just these two dishes?" The boss asked.
"Yes, I am. Just two!"
"Do you want to add some soup?"
After hearing his words, Autumn Beam felt that no matter how much money she saved, she should at least order soup. "Then give me some soup!"
"Thank you, boss. We don't want the soup anymore!”Xie Ling quickly stopped.
"What? You don't want it anymore?"
"Mm, I don't want it!" Xie Ling answered firmly.
"Then don't!" Autumn Beam could only refuse.
"Okay, no soup." The boss walked in and spoke in an impatient tone.
"Why not?" Autumn Beam lowered her head and asked Xie Ling softly.
"A soup costs dozens of yuan again. It's not worth it!”
Autumn Beam and Xie Ling drank tea while waiting for the dishes to be served. Xie Ling sipped her tea elegantly, making Autumn Beam unable to take her eyes off her.
"What are you looking at now?"
Autumn Beam smiled." I'm not looking at anything.”
"I'll pretend you didn't see it. Then what are you laughing at?”
"It's nothing. Well, since you've finished your tea, I'll pour you another cup!”
Xie Ling also smiled and replied,"Yes."”
"Boss, please get us a cup of tea.”
After a long time, no one came out. Even the waiter did not come out to greet them. Only the sound of cooking could be heard. Autumn Beam thought that they hadn't heard her. She moistened her throat and raised her voice by 50 decibels, shouting loudly,"Master inside, please give me another cup of tea. Thank you!”
There was still no movement inside. Autumn Beam stood up to go in and see what was going on, but Xie Ling pulled him to sit down. After a while, the sound of cooking stopped. The boss finally walked out with two plates of food in his hands and heavily placed them on the table. Autumn Beam frowned and sorted out his emotions. He took a deep breath and calmly said to the boss,""Boss, I'm sorry to trouble you. Can you please get her a cup of tea?”
The boss walked in again, took out a plastic teapot, and placed it on the table.""I'm sorry, we don't have enough people. If you want tea, please pour it yourself!”If he poured it himself, then so be it. No one was a rich second-generation heir who would 'eat when he opened his mouth, and clothes when he stretched out his hands.' It was just that this anger was unbearable. Xie Ling gave him a look, signaling him to calm down, so he didn't make a fuss. He hurriedly finished his meal, paid the bill, and left.
After leaving the restaurant, Autumn Beam looked back at the restaurant's signboard and said coldly to Xie Ling,"He doesn't even bother to say 'take care' anymore. He's really a snob.”
"Who cares? I'm sorry for making you spend money today. You bought this and that, and you're still being bullied.”
"What are you talking about? I'm the one who's sorry. I treated you to a meal and let you suffer. I saw that you only ate half a bowl of rice just now.”
"I see that you can't stay any longer. I eat slowly and don't want to keep you waiting.”
Autumn Beam shook her head and smiled. Even if I wanted to leave, waiting for you and watching you eat made my heart feel sweet.”
Xie Ling also laughed." You have a glib tongue! You're always talking nonsense."
"I'm serious. I'm not talking nonsense.”
"Okay, I believe you're serious.”
"That's right. Do you want to take a walk on the Yangtze River Bridge? Walk from here to the other side.”
"Mm, alright!"
As they walked on the bridge, the Yangtze River surged eastward. Autumn Beam and Xie Ling leaned on the concrete railing, watching the boats on the river gradually disappear into the distance.
"How is it? How do you feel?" Autumn Beam asked.
"I'm floating in heaven and earth, a grain of rice in the vast sea. It's too ancient."
"Why? Are you sad?"
"I'm not you. I won't be sad about these things. I just feel very heavy. Come to our school next week. It's the same autumn, but you'll have a different feeling at our school.”
"Sure, it's an honor to be invited by a beautiful woman!”
"Hehe. I'm not sure. In that case, it's my turn to treat you to a meal."
"What? Sure!"
