Asonli's relatives were very warm-hearted. To express their gratitude, they tried their best to invite them to stay for a meal. Even Asonli held Xin Gan's hand and pleaded with her to stay.
Xin Gan's gaze subconsciously swept over Cheng Jiu's side. He didn't look at her; he was talking to the host.
She couldn't understand at all.
She couldn't help but tell Asonli, "When you get home in the future, listen carefully to your elders."
After spending this period of time together, Asonli trusted and liked her very much. Whenever he thought of her leaving, he couldn't bear to part and didn't want her to go.
The moon outside was very large, and the distance was plunged into a deep darkness. It was impossible to tell whether the depths of that darkness were high mountains or lakes.
Asonli led Xin Gan out and stood under the moon. He asked her, "Will you come to see me in the future?"
Xin Gan smiled and said, "Do you want me to come and see you?"
Asonli nodded, a pair of eyes as bright as the moon staring at her, innocent and pure.
Xin Gan couldn't bear to deceive him, but she wasn't sure if she would come in the future. She wasn't even sure if she would emigrate in the future. She had always had this plan, but because she was married to Cheng Jiu, she was afraid that her family wouldn't agree.
Because once she gets married to him, she can't go abroad casually, let alone emigrate.
This is also the most important purpose of her trip.
As for Cheng Jiu, she has no intention of telling him for the time being that she plans to emigrate.
Xin Gan lowered her eyes, gently stroked his hair and said, "Even if I don't come to see you, you should still live happily."
He is still young but very sensible. He tries his best to endure the sadness of losing a loved one and doesn't show it. He only hides under the covers and cries when he sleeps at night.
Asonli also asked her, "Then can I come to see you in the future?"
"Um." Xin Gan said.
"Then let's pull the hook and keep it hanging for a hundred years without changing."
...
Cheng Jiu came out and saw Xin Gan and A Songli standing not far away, chatting. She was squatting while A Songli was standing. It was unknown what they were talking about. Then he saw the two of them pulling a hook, one big and one small, their shadows slanted long by the moonlight.
Asongli's family was not well-off and there was no extra room for them to rest for one night. After saying goodbye to Asongli's family, Cheng Jiu and Xiao Shi planned to go back overnight. They had been driving at night, and Xin Gan could lie down and rest in the back seat, so she wouldn't feel so bad.
It's not easy to drive at night. Xin Gan probably sensed that they must have something to do, which is why he rushed back in the middle of the night.
Xin Gan wasn't in a good mood. She woke up, closed her eyes, listened to the heavy engine sound and could still smell the smoke. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Cheng Jiu who was driving. Her legs were numb and she couldn't help stretching them, making a little noise. Cheng Jiu raised her eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror.
Did I disturb you? He asked.
"No. I just woke up." Her voice is also very soft.
Xiao Shi in the passenger seat was already asleep, snoring softly.
The late night on the plateau is a deep blue mixed with a rich black, like the deep sea.
Cheng Jiu said, "Would you mind if I smoked a cigarette?" "Stay alert when driving at night."
"It's okay. You smoke. Don't worry about me."
Because Xiaoshi was sleeping, Xinggan's voice was particularly low, fearing to wake Xiaoshi up.
With a snap, the fire burned for a few seconds. Cheng Jiu lit a cigarette, took several puffs, and became a little more energetic. He said, "Do you feel carsick?"
This statement was obviously asking her.
Xin Gan remained silent for a moment and said, "Not bad."
The conversation between the two was simple, with one question and one answer. Her responses were also cold. Had it not been for him asking, she wouldn't have said anything.
