Love is like sugar and marriage is like water

Chapter 8: Lost in Love and Leaving
"These two are not brothers and sisters in the first place, but they pretend to be brothers and sisters. They really know how to pretend!"

"But, what is the purpose of this? Why bother to pretend to fool me like this? I am not a three-year-old child, can't I see it? What is the meaning of doing this?"

"I really don't understand..."

Zhao Ji thought.

He didn't sleep well at night and woke up in and out, which was an old habit.

He is painfully lovelorn!
The next day, I got up before dawn.

He saw that the geranium flower on the table had long withered, and he felt extremely sad.He decided to go out alone to relax.

So, I put on that gray backpack.After telling the hostess of the inn that she would not wait for his return at night, he walked upstream along the river that flowed through the town and climbed up the mountain on foot.

These mountains are a branch called Core Mountain.

From a geological point of view, they are all strange, criss-crossed, and interesting structures. They are especially famous for the evenness and purity of the Castel rock formations.

However, Zhao Ji is not a geologist, and he will not investigate the geological structure of these rock formations.

He wanted to go out and relax.

He himself couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind.There was only a feeling of firmness. Although his head was covered, he was very clear in his heart.

"I will never meet Li Heng and the others again!"

Zhao Ji thought for sure that he was kept in the dark and deceived by them.He was chagrined by their dishonest and deliberately deceitful behavior.

That was the only reason why he suddenly decided not to see them.

So, who forced them to pretend to be brother and sister?
Why don't you tell him the reason?

This way he wouldn't be in love with Li Shi!He will not bear the torture of this feeling!

That's it!

Nothing more...

Zhao Ji tried his best to avoid thinking about these problems.

He wandered leisurely through the mountains and valleys.

Sit around for an afternoon in a country shop with a strong earthy atmosphere, buy some miscellaneous food or beer and drinks, and chat leisurely with the owners and guests of the shop.

Or when the weather is fine, spread a mat on the lawn, lie on the flat and thick mat, and look through those short videos on your phone that are deliberately teasing or appropriately funny.

Or you don't need this very troublesome folding mat, just lie down on the warm stone slab and look up at the five-colored clouds floating in the sky.

In this way, Zhao Ji spent two days playing alone in the mountains.

The mountain cleansed his bad mood, but it was not without effect. He became cheerful in vain, although sometimes he felt depressed and depressed when he thought about it.

Zhao Ji's thoughts at this time seemed to be in perfect harmony with the peaceful and peaceful mountains in this place.

In the impressions he received from the places he passed, he was completely immersed in the calm flashes of the accidents that happened to him, and they alternately changed and passed through his mind at a leisurely pace.

In the end, I only have one general impression... I feel extremely happy.

In this general impression, everything he saw, heard, and felt in the past two days was integrated.

The fragrance of resin in those woods, the call of woodpeckers and the tapping of wood.

Those crystal-clear streams chattered and screamed endlessly into the distance... and there were small spotted salmon swimming on the sandy bottom of the stream.

Those mountains have less steep outlines and gloomier rocks.

Those clean new rural villages, red and white houses, and those awe-inspiring ancient towering yellow jujube trees are as clean as villas in the city.

There are all kinds of unknown birds flying up and down on the grass.

Those comfortable water mills, with their wheels turning rapidly, creaked and screamed.

The simple and honest faces of those villagers.In fact, their clothes are no different from those in the city.

Those farmers who go up the mountain with baskets on their backs to pick medicinal materials, and some tea farmers who pick tea leaves.He waved to the hard-working tea farmers and medicine farmers.He occasionally met handsome young hikers with long hair walking on the mountain road.

He also passed by the rural revitalized orchards on both sides where apples and pears were planted... There was a burst of fruit farmers chatting and laughing with each other.

……

When he saw these scenes, he felt quite happy.

Zhao Ji returned to the inn on the third night.

Since his worries about Li Heng disappeared, he tried to rekindle the image of Li Shi in his mind, but Zhao Ji's efforts were all in vain.

When Zhao Ji began to imagine Li Shi, he saw a little country girl standing in front of him——

A round, childish little face, a pony tail held back, and a pair of innocently staring little eyes.

She looked at him so childishly, innocently, and innocently... Her pure and shrinking eyes made him feel very ashamed.

Zhao Ji thought that this might be what Li Shi looked like when he was a child.

During the two days when he went out to relax alone, Zhao Ji received many messages from Li Heng.

Li Heng was surprised by his sudden decision to travel alone, complained why he didn't take them out with him, and asked him to come to their place as soon as he came back.

At that time, Zhao Ji read these messages with a feeling of dissatisfaction and did not reply.

But after he went out to relax in the past two days, he felt much better than before, felt relieved, and decided to see Li Heng and the others again.

Li Heng greeted him in a friendly and informal manner, and scolded Zhao Ji gently and kindly.

However, Li Shi seemed to do it on purpose. When she saw Zhao Ji, she burst out laughing for no reason.

And according to her temper, she ran out immediately.

Li Heng felt embarrassed.

After she ran out, Li Heng said in a low voice and vaguely that she was crazy, as ignorant as a child, and asked Zhao Jiduo to forgive her for this childish behavior.

To be honest, Zhao Ji felt very unhappy with Li Shi.

Zhao Ji was already unhappy enough, but now he encountered Li Shi making such an unnatural and artificial laugh.

What does such a strange and deliberate act mean?

Zhao Ji never understood it.

However, Zhao Ji pretended not to notice anything and introduced the details of his short trip to Li Heng.

Li Heng also told Zhao Ji what he had done in the past few days.

However, they did not talk well with each other.

Zhao Ji always deliberately avoided Li Heng's gaze.

Li Shi came into the room and ran away again.

Finally, Zhao Ji said it was time for him to go back.

At first, Li Heng enthusiastically persuaded Zhao Ji to stay for a while, and then carefully observed Zhao Ji for a while.Seeing that Zhao Ji was really in a hurry to go back, he expressed his willingness to send Zhao Ji back.

While going down the mountain, Li Shi suddenly ran up to Zhao Ji.

Taking the initiative to extend a hand to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji gently held her pink fingers and reluctantly nodded to her.

After Li Shi shook hands with Zhao Ji, she walked up the mountain alone to the B&B.

Li Heng sent Zhao Ji to a park, then walked past a small statue that Zhao Ji loved, and sat down on a bench to enjoy the scenery.

It was here that an unusual conversation took place between two men.

　I hope you enjoy my new book.
