Because against the light, her features were indistinct, yet it seed to bring the sunset behind her straight to Gu Qiaoqiao.
The whole person was radiating dazzling brilliance.
Gu Qiaoqiao squinted her eyes slightly.
Though the two had beco so familiar, having been together for two years, each sight of Qin Yize like this still made her heart flutter.
In a matter of monts, Qin Yize was standing right in front of her.
He had already put the travel bag inside the Mongolian Yurt.
Qin Yize reached out, embracing the slightly dumbfounded Gu Qiaoqiao, gently caressing her hair with his chin, and whispered, "Qiaoqiao, I missed you."
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart trembled, a surge of tenderness rose within her.
Her flushed cheeks rubbed against his embrace, playfully saying, "It’s just been a day apart, I don’t believe you."
"Didn’t the ancients say that one day apart feels like three autumns? A year has four seasons, each season three months, so three autumns make nine months. How could I not miss you?"
"You can even pull ancient texts into this, are you implying I’m less educated?" Gu Qiaoqiao looked up and teased, half-jokingly.
After all, the noodle shop owner’s affair had left a deep impression on her.
Qin Yize, pulling Gu Qiaoqiao slightly away, pressing his forehead against hers, his voice full of endless affection with a smile on his lips said, "What nonsense, I’m not that kind of person. Besides, my Qiaoqiao is so smart. If you went back to school, you might not get into the top universities, but a mid-level one in the Imperial Capital would be no problem for you."
Gu Qiaoqiao gave Qin Yize a sideways glance, pretending to be unhappy, "What, you want to go to college?"
"No, it was a taphor," Qin Yize, unfazed, tapped Gu Qiaoqiao’s nose affectionately and said, "You are now a student at the Art Academy, although you don’t often attend classes, I’m sure your graduation sculpture will be collected by the academy..."
Gu Qiaoqiao was pleased.
She loved hearing this.
With her eyebrows raised, she said proudly, "That’s right, once during a class, I randomly carved a wooden sculpture, and our teacher was overjoyed to take it away, even calling a genius."
"Yeah, my Qiaoqiao is a genius. It’s said to have dumplings on the train and noodles off, should I make noodles for my little genius?"
Qin Yize’s voice carried an indescribable smile.
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded seriously, "Sure, this genius is hungry..."
Saying this, she smiled widely herself.
Qin Yize couldn’t help himself, pulling Gu Qiaoqiao into his arms, sealing her sweet, petal-like lips that he was addicted to with his own.
The glow of the sunset beca increasingly brilliant and beautiful, as if half the sky were set ablaze.
It seed like a fire was burning on the horizon.
This place was desolate, with the distance between heaven and earth feeling within reach.
There was only one cloud-like Mongolian yurt, and beside the clouds, a pair of sweethearts embracing deeply.
...
Qin Yize didn’t let Gu Qiaoqiao do anything, skillfully starting a fire. Although he didn’t cook often, he was proficient in all the basic outdoor skills.
Therefore, everything he did was with ease and skill.
With ample preparation, and most importantly, having his beloved girl waiting to eat his al, his actions beca even more efficient.
Qin Yize had strong hands, and didn’t spare any energy when kneading the dough, making the cooked noodles very firm.
He made beef sauce for the noodles, which was perfect for the weather to have with boiled noodles.
Soon, the noodles were ready.
Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t new to eating outdoors, but being out alone with Qin Yize like this seed to be the first ti.
Although not quite true, as in the Northern Mountain Area they had once eaten grilled fish together.
Back then, she was full of distrust and misunderstanding towards him, yet at that ti he had already fallen for her, seriously asking her many questions.
And those questions, Gu Qiaoqiao had kept in her heart. Sotis, giving up thinking it was self-delusion; she almost missed out on such a good Ah Ze.
A person faithful and passionate about love and marriage.
A person who could humble himself, making noodles for her!
Luckily, she didn’t miss out, truly blessed by the heavens!
It was a dinner filled with warmth and deliciousness.
Qin Yize was apparently hungry too, eating two big bowls. Gu Qiaoqiao quietly glanced at Qin Yize in front of her, puzzled as to where those two big bowls of noodles went.
His abdon remained firm and flat.
Maybe sensing Gu Qiaoqiao’s gaze, Qin Yize looked at her amusedly and jokingly asked, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly shook her head, "Nothing..."
She wouldn’t admit she was looking at his abdon.
After tidying up, Qin Yize took Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and led her towards Crescent Lake, firstly familiarizing her with the surroundings, and secondly, it was natural to walk a bit after dinner to aid digestion.
When they reached the lake, they stopped walking.
The lake did not have the assortnt of moist water plants that Gu Qiaoqiao had imagined; instead, there was a stretch of small white sandy beach with a few blue and white boulders scattered on it.
And by that ti, the sun was about to set.
But the touch of afterglow still blanketed this white beach with a layer of golden light, dancing like particles of gold before her eyes...
Gu Qiaoqiao widened her eyes in surprise, pointing at the beach, "Oh my, there’s a beach here..."
Then looking around, she excitedly asked, "Ah Ze, how did you find such a gorgeous place? Will anyone mind us staying here?"
Qin Yize shook his head with a smile, but didn’t answer directly, speaking softly to Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, the sun has been warming this sand all day; it feels really nice to walk on."
Saying this, he took off his boots, and Gu Qiaoqiao blinked, happily taking off her own shoes and socks.
Her fair little feet stepped on the sand, just as Qin Yize had described, so fun and comfortable.
Gu Qiaoqiao trotted playfully on the beach,
then realized that this was the only beach by Crescent Lake.
The rest was overgrown with more than one-ter-high wild grass.
Amidst the wild grass, a kind of purple flower blood, which Gu Qiaoqiao knew was called Malan Flower in the North and grew in water.
Its leaves were broad, enough to weave into grass mats.
As a child, by the river behind their old ho, there were such Malan Flowers, and Gu Qiaoqiao often weaved the broad Malan grass into various grass mats to play with her sister.
Actually, this place was already considered the North, so the geographical environnt and plant characteristics were almost the sa.
