In the water town of Jiangnan, an Xiaochu sleepless with the gurgling stream.

Her small town has the unique softness of the south, which is very suitable for relaxing. Unfortunately, the weather is beautiful. It has been raining since she arrived here this morning.

She wandered around the inn. Finally, she couldn't stand the cold and humid outside. She chose to go back to the hotel and talk to the young boss and his wife. Now is not the peak tourist season. Except an Xiaochu, there is only one backpacker in the whole inn. The boss and his wife warmly invited an Xiaochu to have dinner with the backpacker. An Xiaochu hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in the boss's soft smile.

This southern town satisfies her imagination of distance.

"You look like a northerner, aren't you?" the proprietress laughed softly when she saw an Xiaochu sitting in front of the fireplace, still wrapped in a blanket on her thin shoulders. On his hand, he tucked in the blanket corner for an Xiaochu.

"Well, it's really cold here. I feel cold in my bones." an Xiaochu smiled gently.

"You're here at the wrong time. At this time, the seasons have changed, the scenery has withered, and even the food is much less." the landlady said, pointing to the seasonal food on the menu, just like gossip.

"Then I'm not making money. I've seen scenes that others haven't seen?" an Xiaochu said, pretending to be surprised.

Seeing that she could think of it, the landlady laughed. At this time, the boss came out of the kitchen and discussed what to eat for dinner. Finally, we voted unanimously and chose the food most suitable for today's weather - hot pot.

There are many things to prepare for hot pot. An Xiaochu and the always silent backpacker went to help. Before long, a mandarin duck pot was boiling on the burning stove.

A curved piece of iron divides a pot into two sides. Hongyanyan is the so-called exclusive formula of the boss - Chongqing old hot pot. The milky white is a soup mixed with traditional Chinese medicine. The boss specially prepared it for an Xiaochu and backpackers. Who makes him both northerners? The boss is afraid that they can't accept the spicy taste of the south.

"Gathering is fate. Let's have a drink." an Xiaochu was very proud and took the warm soybean milk on the table with a smile. She likes this feeling, quiet autumn night, complete stranger, long lost warmth.

"Ah, can you eat spicy?" when an Xiaochu struggled with the balls in the bowl, the landlady's surprised voice sounded. An Xiaochu looked at the backpacker sitting next to him. He took a piece of beef out of the red soup without changing his color. It seemed that he didn't think it was delicious enough. He rolled twice in a bowl full of Chaotianjiao.

An Xiaochu swallowed his saliva. Among the green scallion coriander, the beef wrapped in a layer of red pepper oil looked particularly delicious.

Maybe an Xiaochu's eyes were too hot. The backpacker turned his head and just looked at her greedy appearance.

The backpacker who has been indifferent seems to laugh. His facial features are not excellent, but when he is funny, he is unexpectedly beautiful. An Xiaochu was stunned. A piece of red beef with pepper fell into her dip.

"Eat quickly, it will be tasteless when it is cold." the landlady selectively ignored the small communication between the two and greeted them warmly.

Such things always happen in hotels. The same young and lonely hearts collide with each other at an unpredictable time, causing thunder and fire.

——

Because of the beef the night before, an Xiaochu's plan for the next day was completely destroyed.

After a night, her stomach was still burning. Qiang insisted on going to ask the landlady if she had any stomach medicine. When she opened the door, she just met a backpacker. He seemed to be going out.

"Good morning." an Xiaochu knew he was cold, so he took the initiative to say hello.

"Good morning." the backpacker nodded, his hoarse voice overflowing from his throat.

"Are you uncomfortable?" since the meeting, an Xiaochu has been covering his stomach with one hand. It's abnormal at first sight.

"Well, I guess I had a bad stomach last night and was going to find some medicine." an Xiaochu was put down by a piece of beef. He had no face to say this.

"Last night? That piece of beef?" the backpacker was very sensitive and asked about an Xiaochu's symptoms. An Xiao answered honestly when he first saw his serious appearance. After a little thought, the backpacker concluded an Xiaochu's "illness" in a few words.

"You can't stand the acrimony and hurt your stomach. Taking medicine indiscriminately will only aggravate your condition. Wait for me here."

Confused, an Xiaochu was killed halfway out, and someone suspected to be a barefoot doctor stayed in the hotel.

A quarter of an hour later, an Xiaochu was in a daze counting the withered and yellow leaves in the yard. The backpacker fell from the sky with a bowl of local nourishing porridge in his hand.

An Xiaochu drank the porridge slowly in the backpacker's expectant eyes, and the hot feeling in his stomach seemed to be much simpler.

"All right!" in just two words, an Xiaochu was full of confidence.

"Well, then I'll make amends for my sins." the backpacker opened his mouth. After listening, an Xiaochu suddenly understood the reason why he was so kind to himself this morning. I'm sorry I gave her beef last night!

In a sense, this backpacker is really a single cell to one muscle person.

She is willing to eat what she wants, and no one forces her. How can she blame the backpacker.

"That's too easy, but I was tossed all night and didn't sleep." an Xiao said deliberately when he first saw the backpacker 'simplicity'. The backpacker scratched his head innocently, as if thinking about how to remedy it.

"Puchi -" the landlady smiled and the boss smiled. An Xiaochu couldn't hold his cold face and laughed. The backpacker seemed to realize that he was teased by the weak looking girl. A few suspicious blushes appeared on the wheat colored face.

"I'm sorry, otherwise, I'll take you out to play?" the backpacker was really a single-cell creature. Knowing that an Xiaochu was deliberately teasing him, he still planned to apologize with action.

"Where are you going?" an Xiaochu came down in a hurry. He didn't make a strategy at all. If he could follow others, it would be a worry-free thing.

"First go to the mountain behind the town to take pictures of the sea of clouds and enjoy the historic sites. Then come back to the ancient town at night." the backpacker said simply.

He said these routes. An Xiaochu had heard people mention them in a trance before, so he nodded happily and agreed. They walked happily to the mountain behind the town.

Until late at night, an Xiaochu dragged his tired body back to the inn.

——

Housekeeper Yao knows that his young master is sullen. He is embarrassed to take the initiative to ask about the whereabouts of an Xiaochu. So he paid close attention to an Xiaochu's trip every day and was relieved to be a microphone.

But today

"Young master, I can't get through to Xiaochu. I haven't contacted her for a day." Qin Ziang was working overtime. Suddenly he received a call from housekeeper Yao. The pen in his hand almost broke.

"HMM." after a perfunctory response, Qin Ziang hardly gave himself time to think and contacted Shen Rui on a business trip in the south.

In Shen Rui's city, an Xiaochu travels only more than 100 kilometers.

"Oh, who is this? First of all, I'm not in the city. Please find someone else to get drunk!" Shen Rui deliberately mocked Qin Ziang's drunkenness last time.

If it had been before, Qin Ziang would have laughed back.

"Shen Rui, do me a favor. Go to w town now and find someone for me."

Shen Rui was surprised by Qin Ziang's too serious tone. The playful expression on his face was a little less, and interest flashed in his eyes.

"Can't it be the girl named an Xiaochu?"

"Bring her back to me completely. If you lose a hair, I'll shave you bald."

Qin Ziang's answer is equivalent to default.

"Begging people is still so fierce?" Shen Rui is dissatisfied. Does Qin Ziang understand what it means to judge the situation!

"Don't waste time, go!" an Xiaochu has lost contact all day. Qin Ziang's heart has been hanging, and he is not in the mood to talk to Shen Rui.

Red face! Shen Rui rarely sees Qin Ziang's gaffe after they have known each other for so many years. He also realized the seriousness of looking for someone, but he still kept his mouth shut. He washed Qin Ziang again, hung up the phone and went to w town in person all night.

——

An Xiaochu spent a whole day with the backpacker, only to find that the backpacker's reticence is not high cold, but that he is shy and speechless.

"Let's have something to eat first and then go on a night tour?" as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, an Xiaochu had smelled bursts of strong food aroma. Staring at the backpacker.

When the backpacker saw her appearance, he couldn't help thinking of last night. The smile on his face was obvious. Following the smell of rice, they found a local food Inn and had a full meal.

When paying, an Xiaochu glanced at his mobile phone and found that it had already been turned off. Thinking that no one should find themselves, I didn't care. I happily went to the water town with Backpackers at night.

When Shen Rui arrives at an Xiaochu's Hotel, an Xiaochu hasn't come back.

"Hello, is there a young girl named an Xiaochu living here? Has she come back?"

Er, as soon as an Xiaochu left the inn, he heard someone saying his name.

However, she clearly didn't know the handsome man in front of her!

"Well, isn't she behind you?" the proprietress looked at Shen Rui's rich or expensive dress and thought that there should be no bad thing for him to find an Xiaochu.

Shen Rui turns back with the sign of the landlady and sees a man and a woman standing side by side behind him. The plain girl with goose yellow stormsuit and black casual pants and her hair rolled into a ball on her head is undoubtedly an Xiaochu.

It looks like this! It is neither beautiful nor graceful, nor beautiful! Qin Ziang's eyes are not so good!

"An Xiaochu?" Shen Rui tentatively called an Xiaochu. An Xiaochu hesitated and nodded.

"Are you?"

"My name is Shen Rui. Qin Ziang asked me to come to you." Shen Rui explained his intention concisely. An Xiaochu was stiff.

She came here to avoid Qin Ziang. But why, it was only one day that Qin Ziang's people came. Really, there is his shadow everywhere!

"Does he have anything to tell me?" an Xiaochu frowned, his face not very good-looking.
