Butterflies Fly Over Winter Chapter 68
byChapter 68 It’s a kisser
The six people looked at each other with uncontrollable smiles in their eyes.
“Who’s here?” Nie Chuiying asked.
Shi Yunshan looked at her, took off the thin blanket, covered her up and held Nie Chuiying, and said, “Yes, it’s us.”
“I don’t know, For 8, who is it?” Chu Yiqi also joined in the fun.
Xi Ai: “Oh, it’s us.”
“That’s the one, don’t you know?” Yu Nianxi smiled and followed Chu Yiqi’s footsteps, “The one who said when we formed the group that he and she, the fans, would be included in the group and changed from For 6 to For 8.”
Several people came on stage one after another, holding each other’s hands, so that the captain and the group pet stood in the middle, Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi, Nie Chuiying and Shi Yunshan stood on the side – afterwards they called this “protecting the rare creatures in the team”.
But that happened later. As for this moment, they ended the year successfully with a round of applause.
But they still have many more years until…
Forever.
In the afternoon after the album recording ended, Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi returned to their apartment on Luzhou Island.
Chu Yiqi rested his head on Xi Ai’s legs, sat on three pillows on the carpet, and slowly changed the clothes of the little hamster doll.
The cat brought back from the villa came forward to bite the hamster’s ear, but Chu Yiqi lifted it away by the neck.
“Your mother will be kicked away if I rub against you.”
Chu Yiqi’s threat was half-truthful, while Xi Ai smiled brightly. Her eyes were still on the screen, but she didn’t realize it was tinged with some softness and tenderness outside of work.
“How could I be so cruel?”
“You’re afraid of cats.”
“No!”
“Okay.”
In fact, I’m not really afraid of cats, I just can’t get close to cats.
Especially in the past two years, she always went to Xuanyanyue’s Mao Cafe Bookstore.
As for being afraid of cats, it was just a trick to get closer to Chu Yiqi.
Chu Yiqi might know a little bit, but she didn’t think it was something very important.
Even somewhat useful.
“What are your plans for the Spring Festival?”
“My dear, even if the whole world is on holiday, we will still be fine, okay?” Xi Ai looked up from the email, and Chu Yiqi happened to come forward and kissed her lips.
Xi Ai didn’t have any special reaction. At that moment, she realized that Chu Yiqi had eaten some candy. The white peach flavor was very sweet.
“Why do you always like to be so close?”
Chu Yiqi was holding on to the edge of the sofa, almost as if he was holding Xi Ai in his arms, but the kiss was from bottom to top.
“I like it.”
Xi Ai said nothing more, but when Chu Yiqi came forward again, she leaned back a little, and the kiss fell through.
Chu Yiqi raised his hand to put on Xi Ai’s shoulder with dissatisfaction. When he was about to lift his hand, Xi Ai grabbed his wrist and pulled it towards him.
After being stunned for a moment, Chu Yiqi smiled, took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the sofa, put his arms around Xi Ai, and said, “But I want to go back to Qin City.”
“You didn’t announce it?”
Chu Yiqi had already prepared: “Yes, there is also an invitation from Qin Shi Cultural Tourism.”
Xi Ai immediately changed her mind: “Look, I’m quite leisurely.”
“You’re busy -” Chu Yiqi’s final voice took many turns, and there was a clear and strange air of yin and yang.
Xi Ai responded to her with a smile: “Oh, you don’t want me to go.”
“No.”
When Chu Yiqi had the chance, he landed on Xi Ai’s lips. Without waiting, Xi Ai leaned forward and gave her a kiss that smelled of tea and peach.
“I’m going to Changling Temple in the afternoon to fulfill my vow. Will you accompany me?” Xi Ai picked up the computer and looked at the person who had already picked up the book.
Chu Yiqi didn’t know where he found the glasses he ordered at some time. They had pink gold frames and a decorative chain decorated with butterflies. He pushed up the glasses deliberately and then answered: “Hmm, guess what?”
“It’s time to show off!”
Chu Yiqi nodded with indescribable arrogance: “Honey, I have heard about your glorious deeds at the Investment Promotion Association.”
“Oh, then you don’t know how to learn.” Xi Ai came closer to Chu Zhizhi, reached out to hook up her glasses, put them on herself, and said to demonstrate, “You have to look at the other person without emotion, then lower your tone and look a little colder.”
Chu Yiqi put his hand on Xi Ai’s leg and said, “But what should I do? Why don’t you cover your head.”
“?”
“If there must be a physical performance, then this requirement is a bit difficult.”
Xi Ai smiled softly and changed the subject: “Your book is dog-eared.”
“!”
Chu Yiqi hurriedly lowered his head to check. There was no defect. After a moment of subtle silence, Chu Yiqi reached out and took off Xi Ai’s earphones and gave them to himself generously.
Xi Ai was only half-dressed, so she took her time to watch Chu Yiqi’s expression change from pride to embarrassment, and then to helplessness.
“There’s something wrong with you!”
Chu Yiqi not only posted the demo on Weibo some time ago, but also extracted the audio, and Xi Ai exported every one of them.
The sound of your own voice in the headphones is still related to the person next to you…
The headphones were also snatched from the side…
It is exactly the sentence “The pink stars fall, it is the morning and dusk when the gods tilt”.
——From “Pink Sea”.
Xi Ai still felt that Chu Yiqi was not speechless enough, and continued: “Actually, I like “Heartbeat Lies” more.”
“Stop talking.” Chu Yiqi refused to talk to the inspiration for the song when he had just expanded the entire song.
It just so happens that the headphones come from Xi Ai, and they have a better understanding of each other.
The next moment is the music of “Heartbeat Lies.”
“My heart says, I love you.”
“Before myself, I can get a glimpse of the clues.”
“Learn to love you.”
Xi Ai bent her eyes and smiled. Chu Yi expected to meet such a pair of eyes, but he gave in.
Chu Yiqi followed the tune, synchronized with the audio, and matched Xi Ai’s mouth shape.
“To win, the instinct is to escape.”
“But the nerves screamed to flee.”
With the beginning of the sentence, Chu Yiqi was quite candid and drew Xi Ai’s eyes down a little.
“Please wait a moment.”
“Waiting for you to love me.”
“Until the heart stops.”
Xi Ai asked her: “Are you waiting?”
“When you say it, I saw you.” Chu Yiqi smiled brightly, like a warm spring.
Chu Yiqi’s embarrassment came and went quickly, but revenge must be retaliated, and the hatred must be retaliated.
Revenge is more like coquettishness.
“You know, these plush pajamas with cat ears will look inappropriate on you.”
“…”
Xi Ai sneered and said, “Honey, you are so childish.”
“So give me my pajamas back.”
“Then give me my fox back.”
Chu Yiqi smiled, leaned back on the coffee table, and said unreasonably, “The fox is mine too.”
“That’s okay.” Xi Ai suddenly paused, “Do you remember, we still have a question? So please tell me, Teacher Chu, are you willing to accompany me?”
“The emperor heard it and said, it’s accurate.”
After they were busy for a while, Chu Yiqiu inexplicably sat on Xi Ai’s lap.
Xi Ai also stopped working and read Weibo for a while.
Chu Yiqi was playing with the game when Xi Ai suddenly pinched her face.
Chu Yiqi was about to complain, but he heard Xi Ai ask her jokingly: “Have we really not seen each other in the past two years?”
Chu Yiqi glanced at the screen and said, “I’ve seen it before. I saw you.”
Xi Ai was a little surprised: “Really?”
“Look at my ending pictures every time.”
Xi Ai clicked into a certain category of the photo album and asked, “What’s wrong?” while flipping through it.
“Look.” Chu Yiqi said with a smile, leaning on Xi Ai’s shoulder and playing with her hair.
Teacher Xi recently dyed her hair a bit of a gradient blue.
Every time she saw Xi Ai dyeing her hair blue, Chu Yiqi would think of a pair of gloves she had knitted – she bought a hand-knitted thread with a gradient of blue, and started knitting it from both ends, and because she didn’t calculate the length correctly, she couldn’t use the gradient area until the end, so Xi Ai got a pair of gloves with one dark and one light.
After smiling, Chu Yiqi heard Xi Ai say: “Am I going to sit here for this?”
That was where a beam of light fell. Chu Yiqi took a look and said, “You guess.”
That’s the default.
Every time Chu Yiqi takes a photo afterward, a beam of light will fall in the direction of Xi Ai’s seat, and then there will be some shining butterflies, slightly darker, flying towards the place where the light comes from. As for the lower right corner, there will always be a watermark. Xi Ai painted a small butterfly for Chu Yiqi a long time ago.
Changling Temple has always been popular, so Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi had no choice but to go there at dusk.
The purple smoke fills the air, exuding a quiet Buddhist fragrance.
The smoke obscured Chu Yiqi and suddenly asked Xi Ai: “Have you heard of that rumor?”
“Which one are you talking about?”
Chu Yiqi said, “Tell me what you know.”
Xi Ai thought about her words and said, “Yes, there are two lamps in the pool of ever-bright lamps in the main hall, dedicated to two close friends, Qin Shuyan and Luo Xianshuang.”
Chu Yiqi smiled and blinked, but in a calm tone, as if this could cover up the fact that he was chatting about historical anecdotes in the temple: “In our Qin City, there are some legends, do you want to hear them?”
Xi Ai laughed, bowed respectfully, gathered her windbreaker again, and said deliberately: “Buddhism is a pure place, please say these are inappropriate.”
“Amitabha.” Chu Yiqi bowed three times with a guilty conscience and muttered, “For the sake of Xi Ai donating half of her acting income and business income to medical aid every year, don’t argue with her.”
“Why don’t you ask for your own?”
“Someone of mine has prayed for me. The Buddha said, don’t be too greedy.”
“Well, then guess what else I want when I come?”
“Buddha said, don’t say it.”
There is not much difference whether it is said or not. It is nothing more than a wish for Chu Yiqi and for people other than Xi Ai herself.
It doesn’t matter if you answer or not. Chu Yi hopes that he will visit the church from time to time in the past two years and even participate in prayers.It’s not really a belief, it’s just a matter of peace of mind.
Speaking of which…
“Xi Ai.” After walking out of the temple gate, the two walked along the less crowded mountain road. Chu Yiqi held Xi Ai’s wrist through his sleeves.
Xi Ai turned around and held the slightly cold palm, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“You know what?”
Xi Ai sighed: “You know, you can’t break a song into half a sentence, and you can’t break a sentence into half a sentence.”
Chu Yiqi smiled, half leaning on Xi Ai, and said, “When I was feeding the pigeons in the church, I saw a couple kissing each other before they broke up. They were very beautiful.”
Church, dusk, light and shadow, long skirt, suit, pigeons.
Is it a goodbye kiss or a wedding?
Xi Ai thought for a while and said, “You said the day you left, Xue Ye, Dong Ying was particularly beautiful, you thought it was a date, who knew…”
“I beg you, please stop talking.” Chu Yiqi covered Xi Ai’s mouth.
In fact, there is no sad touch. It seems that at this time, even these memories can be covered with a layer of tenderness.
Xi Ai made a condition: “If you kiss me.”
“Are you a kisser?”
“Laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps.”
The moment they touched each other, it was a brief kiss, and the temples were stained with sandalwood.
Neon goes into the night, it’s another day.
The crab roe noodles were placed in front of Chu Yiqi, from where he could see the night view of the city center.
Chu Yiqi finally finished the unfinished anecdote: “We, the people in Qin, actually say that the two were lovers and met each other when they were young. Later, one family was harmed, one was a loyal man, one became a female official incognito, and the other became a queen in name.”
“Then the former palace changed and Gu Xiwen and others rebelled, so Qin Shuyan secretly went to the Western Region to lead troops?”
“Hmm, it’s said that Qin Luo and Qin Luo have very similar styles. After all, it turned out that the two of them chose to go into seclusion and travel.”
“Teacher Chu.”
“What’s wrong?”
Xi Ai hinted: “I want to write a suite, but I need a co-arranger.”
“Let me hear the name and think about it.”
“For pure music, maybe just call it a series of “High Wall”, “Spring Mountain” and “Temple”.”
After a moment of silence, Chu Yiqi smiled: “Is it so efficient?”
“Isn’t your demo set a bit expanded on the entire song, so you don’t plan to release it?”
“I’m going to post it, but I haven’t finished writing it yet. I’m going to put it into an album and release it.”
“Love diary?” Xi Ai smiled, took a bite of steamed pork ribs, and asked her, “Have you decided on a name?”
“It’s called…”Stepping on the Moon”.”
