Chapter 70
I don't know whether Nie Xinyan was on a whim or had planned it before. In short, since she said that, there must be her reason.
From the moment I knew that tonight's destination was Lover Po, I knew that tonight was another sleepless night. Although I was exhausted both physically and mentally, I felt the cold and soft touch in my hands and sniffing the refreshing fragrance coming from beside me, but I became excited.
...
The night is getting deeper and quieter.
At this time, there are indeed no people on campus. Those who sleep have already fallen asleep, and those who are not sleeping will not run to campus to wander around. Nie Xinyan and I seem lonely on this empty avenue. All we can rely on is each other beside us. I can't help but hold her hands tighter.
The summer breeze blows slowly, the leaves rustle, overlapping with the endless cicadas, with a unique rhythm.
Time went back ten minutes, and Nie Xinyan and I finally arrived at the boulevard that accompanied me through countless summer days. It was my first time here late at night.
The moment I saw this, I was shocked. The moonlight and the starlight blended with each other, shot out from the lush trees, leaving light spots of all sizes on the ground, just like the hearts of the lonely people who were looking for support, snuggling with each other.
Although fascinating, we didn't stay for long, because it was less than 500 meters away from the Lover's Slope.
Under the guidance of the moonlight, you can already see the outline of the lover slope. At that moment, the summer wind stopped whirling, and the air became hotter. I obviously felt Nie Xinyan's touch, and holding Nie Xinyan's hand quickly became a little wet. It was Nie Xinyan's sweat, but I knew that it was not because of the heat.
...
I have been here many times. Sometimes I am alone, sometimes with the big guys and the others, and of course I am more with Nie Xinyan. But in the past, I always come in the evening because the evening is the most crowded here.
But now, Nie Xinyan picked someone for the least time to come. At first glance, there was not even a ghost. There were a few stones half a person tall scattered on the top of the slope. It is said that couples with names engraved on those stones will always be united in their lives and grow old together, so those stones are also called "couple stones" by them.
Nie Xinyan and I both disdained this statement, but our reasons are a little different.
As for me, I am just lazy and think it is too tiring to carve names on the stones, while Nie Xinyan thinks that these stones are too fragile because one of them has cracked, and it is too vain and inauspicious to place the long-lasting love on this kind of stone that will break at any time.
The Lover's Slope in the late night really has a unique charm. The bright moonlight scatters lazily on the grass. When the summer breeze blows, it will ripple like the waves, and the mood will become more relaxed and happy. The most eye-catching one is the couple's stones on the top of the slope, which appear more exquisite and transparent under the moonlight. The cicadas ring one after another, playing a gorgeous music, which also makes the Lover's Slope more vibrant.
From the moment Nie Xinyan got here, her eyes never left those couple stones. I had never seen Nie Xinyan so focused. A terrible idea came to my mind - could she want to carve her name on it?
But I soon denied this idea. She couldn't change her original intention easily. She decided not to tidy it before, so she would definitely not tidy it. But she didn't say what she was here for. This made me very upset. I couldn't post here all night.
"Wuxiu, what time is it now?"
"Ah? What did you say?" Nie Xinyan suddenly asked to make me come back to my senses.
"I said, what time is it now?" Maybe she was dissatisfied with my loss of consciousness, so she deliberately elongated her voice this time.
I took out my phone and checked it out, and replied, "Just just past twelve o'clock."
After saying that, I was stunned. Because the time node had already jumped to June 1st, which means that we will say goodbye to this month at the end of this month. The cicadas suddenly became a little harsh, and a sense of sadness arose.
After a pause, I adjusted my mentality and asked softly: "Xinyan, it's so late, what are you going to do here?"
Nie Xinyan ignored my problem, took my hand and ran towards the couple stones scattered in a row. In the dark night, I couldn't even see anything under my feet. I was afraid that she would fall, so I tried my best to control my pace to limit her speed.
I could clearly feel Nie Xinyan's excitement. She pulled me straight to a stone one meter tall, and the sound of gasping was unusually obvious in this quiet night.
Then she pulled me to the stone and sat down. Her head snuggled on my shoulders and said softly: "Wuxiu, I know I am going to graduate, and you will inevitably feel sad. I am the same as you, so I want to leave us some memories that can be remembered for a lifetime in the last days."
I looked at her in surprise, the throbbing in my heart could no longer be concealed, and I hugged her into my arms without hesitation.
"Ah... wait a moment, there will be no time later."
"What's the time?" I let go of my hand and looked at her with confusion.
Nie Xinyan looked at the crescent moon and stood up and crawled towards the stone. She was always clumsy and was so agile at this moment. In a blink of an eye, she was already standing on the stone. Looking at her trembling appearance, my heart was already in my throat.
"What are you doing on top? Come down quickly..." The stone was uneven, but I was really worried that she accidentally fell from it and fell to her feet.
Nie Xinyan ignored my words, stood on it and looked around, then squatted down and stretched out her hand at me, and smiled and said, "Wuxiu, come up too."
Although I was still confused, I climbed up quickly. I was worried that she was standing on it alone.
After I also stood on the stone, Nie Xinyan finally stood firm, but my hand was so painful that she held it. You can imagine how scared she was on it alone just now.
The place where we can stand on this stone is really small, and we couldn't stand side by side. I tried to stagger the position to leave enough space for Nie Xinyan.
"Wuxiu, do you know the origin of the name Lover Po?" Nie Xinyan suddenly turned her head, and there was a strange light in her eyes.
"The origin?" My eyes showed a strange look and I couldn't help but mutter in my heart. Isn't this place just a few young couples who often date and become famous? Could it be that there are any sad legends?
"Close your eyes and turn around." Nie Xinyan smiled mysteriously at me, "Be careful, don't fall down."
