MTL - Peach and Plum Do Not Speak (The Silent Cherry And Plum Blossoms)-Chapter 111
Yan Xi's trip this time was not so much a trip as a desire to change the environment for a walk. There was not much planning.
She likes the quiet and sacred scenery in Lhasa, but maybe her thoughts are too chaotic and absent-minded, and she doesn't feel fully enlightened.
Instead, it was the name in the circle of friends, and a small like made her heart twitch. In the past two months, she has watched the one-minute video countless times and told herself that enough is enough. Resist not being able to read a little bit more.
And this night, she finally had the courage to turn over her circle of friends.
An Zhi's circle of friends is not updated frequently, and in the recent photo, she just finished her Thanksgiving vacation.
She took advantage of the Thanksgiving holiday to buy some kitchen utensils, and even made dumplings on Thanksgiving Day, and invited the dormers in the same building to eat. There were four people in total, she, a black guy, a blonde girl, and a red-haired guy. The four of them smiled and took selfies, and there were a few empty plates on the table.
She wrote in the photo, "hand-made three fresh dumplings, which were sold out in the end. Laugh."
Sanxian stuffed dumplings are Yanxi's favorite.
An Zhi's brows and eyes curled into a smile. She seemed to have turned white again, and her hair had grown a lot.
She raised the corners of her lips. There are a lot of comments under the photo, and they have a lot of friends that they follow together. You can see a row of names such as Yang Mengmeng, Liu Yiyi, Yan Yinan, her third sister-in-law, sister-in-law Yan Xiaochuan and so on.
Yan Xi's fingertips trembled and she liked it. Her name came last, can she see it?
She couldn't help but slide down and look at her past records.
"It snowed a lot yesterday, bigger than my home, and I want to build a snowman."
"Ah, it's so cold, I went to MIT today."
"The lobster set at LegalSeaFoods is delicious. The lobster is so big, look."
This was last month.
…
And earlier.
"WidenerLibrary really looks like Hogwarts, doesn't it?"
"There are a lot of little squirrels on the campus. They are not afraid of people at all, and they will ask people for food, so cute."
"The famous statue of the Three Lies in Harvard, it is rumored that if you touch his shoes, you can enter Harvard University. See, his shoes are shiny when touched."
"From now on, I will study here! Happy." This is the first day.
The tone of her circle of friends seemed to be shared with a specific person. Yan Xi read it carefully and chewed on the experience repeatedly. She didn't notice that she liked while watching it, and when she realized that she had read it and finished clicking, that is, Said that the other party can immediately receive a series of cautions from her.
Her movements were stagnant, her ears tingling involuntarily, she rubbed embarrassingly, and hurriedly canceled a few.
Then she thought, cancel what she can still see over there? Do you think the few lines she canceled are not interesting? But she didn't mean it that way!
In the dead of night, Yan Xi held a mobile phone and clicked, and finally covered his face.
"Really, a handful of years old..." She put the phone aside and sighed.
Yan Xi stayed in Lhasa for four or five days, then got up and went to Chengdu. She remembered that An Zhi had always wanted to see pandas before, but she was busy with her work and her studies. Later, she was delayed and never went.
Yan Xi arrived in Chengdu in the morning. The temperature in Chengdu in December is very low. There has just been a short drizzle. Pedestrians are wrapped in clothes, walking slowly, eating breakfast, or going to work. There is a sense of leisurely leisure.
Although the sky was overcast, the air was damp and fresh, and Yan Qi, who had just come from the plateau area, felt very comfortable, and took a taxi to the hotel to check in.
Boston's winter is extremely cold, and the dormitory has already been heated.
The five-year tuition and medical insurance for a doctoral student at Harvard is free of charge, which is paid by the college and the tutor, and she also has a corresponding salary, which is a little lower in the first year, after tax, 30,000 dollars, deducting the rent, which is quite abundant. She will wait until the spring course. It will get better and better when you can be a teaching assistant.
An Zhi is full of confidence and looks forward to the future more and more, so her grades must be good and her credits must be enough.
An Zhi rubbed his hands and continued to read.
The end of the semester is coming soon, and then the Christmas break.
Is she going back to Beicheng or not?
She stuck her cheeks in awe.
Yan Xi seems to be traveling recently, and went to Tibet.
An Zhi turned on his phone and clicked on the circle of friends.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and Yan Xi went to the panda base in Chengdu.
She has taken a lot of videos of pandas. They are not afraid of the cold at all. They move their feet chubby, climb trees, chew bamboo, and arch each other.
There are also photos of one lying on a tree branch that seemed to get stuck and fell asleep directly.
One was gnawing on the bamboo, always facing his back, leaving a chubby and cold back.
Another one is indoors, a group of black and white baby pandas are sleeping, swaying about, like a delicious black and white dumpling.
Lots of messages below:
Yan Yinan's: It's unreasonable, we work overtime every day, and you go back to see Pang Da. envy, jealousy, hate.
Liu Yiyi's: Ouch! There is no animal cuter than a panda...
An Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she saw Yan Xi's reply to Liu Yiyi: No, there is something cuter than a panda.
An Zhi held her breath inexplicably and her heart beat a little faster.
She thought of a lot in an instant, but didn't dare to think about it, she settled down and gave her a thumbs up.
Put your phone aside and force yourself to study.
I went to Chengdu...
They seem to have plans for Chengdu in the past, but they have never been implemented, which is a pity.
An Zhi turned his head to the night sky outside the window in a daze, drank a mouthful of hot milk, put a little sugar, and the sweetness spread from the tip of his tongue.
12 hours time difference.
How is she doing lately? Is it good? The end of the year is approaching, isn't it her busiest time? How did you travel?
Why not take a selfie...
Not sure whether to travel alone or with someone else...
But if you travel, you will feel better.
She is fine.
Unconsciously, An Zhi picked up the phone again.
Suddenly, there was another thread on Yan Xi's circle of friends, which seemed to have just been posted.
"Bunny is cuter."
An Zhi's mind was suddenly stunned, and the phone almost fell off. She hurriedly picked it up and read it carefully word by word.
That's right.
An Zhi covered her lips.
Yan Xi liked the rhythm of Chengdu. She stayed in a hotel for a few days and then moved to a quieter homestay.
Small garden with lots of flowers and plants. Not far from Kuanzhai Alley, the owner is a couple. The first thing Yan Xi saw was the proprietress, a very mature and gentle woman with deep wrinkles on her brows and eyes when she smiled, but she was still beautiful. It was the proprietress who received her, but the man who led her into the residence was a taciturn man, tall and plain-looking, but very young. At first Yan Xi thought they were siblings, but he did not expect to be husband and wife.
Everyone has their own marriage, and Yan Xi did not show any curious eyes. stayed.
After settling down, she went to Kuanzhai Alley for a while. Winter in Chengdu is different. Although it is very shady and cool, unlike the fast pace of Beicheng, Chengdu is slow and light.
Yan Xi was wearing a long black cashmere coat, a turtleneck of the same color, a water-grey fringed shawl on her shoulders, and long boots, making her neck more slender and waist slender.
She picked up some interesting spots to take pictures along the way, deliberately missed the meal time, and then went to eat hot pot.
She ordered a clear oil pan, and compared to the lively neighbors in groups, she seemed a little deserted by herself.
She cooked the beef herself, and the first piece was tender and delicious. I think it could be more spicy.
She was stunned for a while, thinking of An Zhi's first time eating spicy food.
The hot pot was still hot, and Yan Xi was taken aback.
It is unlikely that you have eaten hot pot in foreign countries, and even if you can, it is unlikely to be this taste.
She took out her phone and looked at it.
That morning, she was checking her Moments, and just received a few likes. An Zhi never commented on her, but only left a small heart.
Carefully.
Just like her.
She should have seen all the panda photos and videos she took, even if she wanted to see pandas, wouldn't she comment? Yan Xi waited for a long time and did not see anything.
Are they really unable to speak?
Is she still blaming her?
Still... sad?
Yan Xi's heart fell to the bottom, and at that moment everything became dull. She stared at the name for a while, and moved her fingers to create her own group.
She took a deep breath, let her heart lead her, edited a comment saying "rabbits are more cute", set it to be visible in groups, and clicked to publish it directly.
There are also no comments.
She waited for days and nothing.
Yan Xi was hesitating whether to put the hot pot in the circle of friends. She's not the kind of person who often likes to post on Moments. If An Zhi doesn't comment, what's the point.
Yan Xi felt uncomfortable, melancholy and lost, this feeling was unfamiliar.
In the next second, she saw a fresh photo.
A very old toy, a plastic rabbit with a small drum in his arms, bared teeth, and two small pits on his face.
Yan Xi's memory gradually became clearer, the melancholy and loss suddenly disappeared, and his whole body turned alive.
Unspeakable tenderness hit her heart at once.
