Chapter 20 Chapter Eighteen

Nalan opened the door and got off the car, Qin Huai also changed into the diving suit at this time, holding the clothes he wore earlier, he walked out from the bushes not far away.When he saw Na Lan wrapped in the nylon cloth, he suddenly stopped, his body trembling slightly, as if Na Lan had drawn a magic line on the ground, and it was difficult for him to take a step forward. What's his real next step?Compliment?tease?You you you, you are the water hibiscus, you are like a mermaid.what else?Nalan is ready for everything. But he didn't say anything, just seemed to regain his courage, walked over silently, silently folded the changed clothes, put them into the travel bag, and took out two pairs of flippers, two pairs of paddling palms, two pairs of Swimming goggles, two pairs of non-slip shoes, each gave Nalan a pair.

"What's wrong with you?" Nalan felt obliged to speak. "nothing." "If you're not feeling well, it's not appropriate to swim so far." Qin Huai said coldly: "You are really a caring and good boy. But don't worry, I am really healthy." Na Lan recalled the first time she went to the island, Fang Wendong who came to pick up the boat said that Qin Huai was not as ugly as the media made it out to be, but after getting along for a long time, she felt a little weird.Now finally learn.She glanced at Qin Huai again, and Qin Huai actually lowered his head. The moment he lowered his head, Nalan didn't know if she was wrong, she seemed to see the wetness in the corner of his eyes.

She immediately thought of Qin Huai's sentimentality in front of Ning Yuxin's tomb, forgetting time and space as if he had fallen into a trance. Did he see my miserable end? Nalan suddenly felt that she made a wrong step, and then made more and more mistakes. Holding their flippers, the two of them got into the woods behind the parking lot in silence, and walked not far to the lake.The beach here is only two meters wide when there is no tide.Na Lan wore flippers and looked forward. The island in the center of the lake was like a huge turtle floating on the lake. Under the dark moonless night, it looked a bit hideous, as if gloating at the two who were about to disappear. Men and women on the island.

As the wind blows across the lake, Nalan's heart trembles slightly. Since then, she has officially "entered" Qinhuai's world, how many more unpleasant discoveries will she have? Get away from him as far away as possible. He is an extremely dangerous man. The man who said this is dead.It is no exaggeration to say that Ning Yuxin's personal experience is a lesson learned in blood.What's wrong with me?Why is it so heroic to go to Tiger Mountain?Could it be that he was really moved by Deng Xiao's deep affection for Kuang Yihui?Or resentment over Ning Yuxin's death?Or is it a kind of compensatory mentality, to use the investigation of Ning Yuxin's death to compensate for the powerlessness of his father's death?

"You have to keep up with me. When you arrive at the island in the middle of the lake, where you go ashore is very particular." Qin Huai said lightly, put the two people's non-slip rubber shoes, mobile phones, keys and other sundries together in a waterproof bag, put them on Goggles. Nalan nodded, stretching the muscles of her legs and feet.This distance cannot be considered too short, the key is that there is no place to rest in the middle, and warm-up is extremely important. Qin Huaifu plunged into the lake, swung his arms, and paddled the water to tear the calm of the lake.Na Lan followed, closely following the bubbles from Qin Huai's feet.

Na Lan has been swimming since she was a child, and she has no habit of following others. After swimming not far, she involuntarily speeds up and keeps pace with Qin Huai.Seeing Nalan catching up, Qin Huai also started to speed up.Gradually, the two people formed exactly the same rhythm, like two dolphins swimming side by side in an ocean park. Away from the hustle and bustle of sensuality, a swimmer breaks through the waves, just like a Zen man in meditation, forgetting himself and the world.In everyone's heart, there is a paradise, but you and I go around all day long, trying to find it, but we can't find it.Na Lan at the moment is the lucky one.So many disturbances, so many out-of-balance emotions, so much rhetoric, people's hearts and the intersections of people's hearts, all dissolve in the water, and they all turn into the disappearing water marks in the swing of the flippers.

Water, the source of life, soaked every moment of the first nine months of your life and mine.Mother's warm body is the safest and most comfortable space in the world. Every time Nalan enters the water, even between fierce competitions, she has this feeling of safety and comfort.At this time, I can feel that every stroke of my own has the same harmony around me, seamless, harmonious and worry-free.There are few bosom friends, but they are close at hand. But she happened to be such a person, just when the sense of security and satisfaction made her limbs extremely comfortable, she suddenly felt that she was also the weakest moment.

Just like when a person is at his happiest, what meets him in front is often a downhill road. Nalan's vigilance was not unreasonable, she found that the coordinated rhythm around her disappeared, and the bosom friend who resonated with her became mute. She slowed down, knowing that the sudden arrest might cause muscle spasms.She began to tread water, lifted her swimming goggles, and patrolled the gray-black lake.Sure enough, Qin Huai did not continue swimming, but was also stepping on the water, ups and downs not far away, looking at himself. "What's wrong?" Nalan couldn't see Qin Huai's face or eyes clearly, but just felt strange.

Qin Huai said: "As I said just now, please follow me." "I've been following you..." Nalan immediately understood Qin Huai's meaning, an understanding she couldn't believe, "You mean, I can only follow behind you, not swim alongside you?" "Is your comprehension okay?" Qin Huai stopped explaining and started paddling again. Wrong, it's all wrong. Nalan didn't say any more, turned her head, turned her back on the island in the middle of the lake, and swam back to the lake. Get away from him as far away as possible. Who does he think he is?

Nalan swam back only more than 20 meters, there was a crazy sound of water beside her, and then a black shadow blocked her.Qinhuai. Nalan stopped slowly, had to step on the water again, took off the mirror: "Please don't block my way." "How do you swim back?" "The law says I can't swim back?" Qin Huai sighed: "What I just said was inappropriate..." "Your comprehension doesn't seem to be a problem." "I'm sorry, it's my own emotional problems... I'll apologize to you when I get home." Qin Huai suddenly grabbed Nalan's wrist, and he had already taken off his paddling palm at some point. "If you insist on returning, I have no choice but to go back with you."

Nalan's heart was softened by these words, she raised her wrist and said, "Is this your sincerity? Do you do anything?" Qin Huai hurriedly let go of his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm just afraid of losing you." Nalan looked carefully at his smile, and didn't see the evil smile she imagined, but an embarrassing smile from the heart. "Do you have mental problems?" Nalan muttered, and then said loudly: "If you don't want me to overtake you, swim faster by yourself." Qin Huai was startled, and the smile on his face froze again.But he didn't say anything, just buried his frozen smile in the water and swam towards the island in the middle of the lake. When the island in the middle of the lake was close in front of him, Qin Huai slowed down, turned around and said, "Be careful of the reef on the bottom of your feet pinching your flippers." His voice was very calm. Nalan followed Qin Huai and paddled along the shore for about ten meters in the water. Qin Huai said: "This is it, let's make a mark. This square stone on the water faces due east. I call it 'Fang Wendong' .This is the best place to go ashore.” He jumped onto the shore with the support of the stone, and reached out to Ranalan without taking off his flippers. Because she hadn't swam such a long distance in one breath for a long time, Nalan felt her whole body was sore and limp, calling for oxygen.According to her temperament, Qin Huai would not ask Qin Huai to pull her ashore, but she didn't think much about it at the moment, and handed the palm of her right hand to the left, and stretched out her right hand. Another bad decision. It's not that she hasn't shaken hands with Qin Huai, they shook hands a few days ago on the first day of her writing assistant career.She still remembered the feeling of a polite handshake. Qin Huai's hand was rough, but the handshake was firm and did not stay for long. But at this moment, the grip was too long. Maybe it was because of the closeness, but Nalan could find that at the moment of shaking hands, Qin Huai's face and eyes showed the intersection of tenderness and bewilderment.Nalan has loved and been loved, so she knows that face and eyes, not the tenderness of the amorous prince and grandson in the heaven and earth in Huajie Liuxiang, but the kind of tenderness that comes from the heart and soul. But that gentle look was not for her. Men and women who have known each other for a few days, even if they were destined to fall in love at first sight in a previous life, they will not have this kind of expression on each other. Suddenly, Na Lan understood why Qin Huai was so erratic during this journey. Until Nalan was pulled ashore, the two still held hands.Na Lan also took off the paddling palm of her left hand, clasped it on the back of Qin Huai's hand, and said softly, "You think of Kuang Yihui?" Qin Huai seemed like a sleepwalker who had been ruthlessly shouted out, his whole body convulsed, and he quickly pulled his hand away. Nalan saw bewilderment and surprise on his face for the first time. Nalan said: "After I put on the diving suit, you have entered the world of ice and fire. My figure and Kuang Yihui are very close, and both have short hair, especially in the dark, and then wrapped in a diving suit, even some subtle The difference is also covered up. You feel that you have seen Kuang Yihui come back to life. Did you often swim together? Did you often play in the water side by side? So when I swim side by side with you, at first, you seemed to go back to the past, maybe you The happiest days. But then you found out that the people around you were not Kwong Yihui, and this was just a mirage-like dream, so you walked out of the dream abruptly, and let me follow you very coolly. Until Going ashore now... You used to go ashore from here often, and you often stretched out a hand to pull her up, right? So this is a familiar scene again. You are once again caught in the confusion between reality and fiction." Qin Huai didn't say a word, his eyes were a little dull, as if he still hadn't come out of the confusion of reality and reality.After a long time, he finally said in a voice so soft that even the sound of calm lake water could be covered: "If you don't want me to overtake you, swim faster by yourself." Nalan was startled: "She also said that?" Qin Huai closed his eyes and acquiesced, as if he could go back to the past. This visit almost overturned all of Na Lan's impressions of Qin Huai: the more he looked, the less he looked like a person who is passionate, on the contrary, he is a person with deep feelings.Perhaps, the Qin Huai in front of the media and outsiders, the glorious appearance of the Chinese version of Tang Juan, is just an illusion, a mask.But why? Why ruin her own reputation and image, why did Kuang Yihui's traces be erased so completely at home?Why can't the world know that he still remembers his missing wife? Maybe doing this is to reduce the yearning and pain. Nalan settled down and looked around.There are many reefs here, close to a steep slope, it is difficult to get in and out easily, and there are no houses in sight. At night, it must be quiet, which is probably why Qinhuai said it is "the best place to go ashore". The two put on non-slip rubber shoes, Qin Huai led the way, and climbed up to the steep slope with hands and feet together.Halfway through the climb, there was finally a path to walk under. Although the landing point is remote, it is not far from Qin Huai's home.The two went in through the backyard door and saw no one along the way.Qin Huai opened the back door of the villa, and the alarm bell rang softly. After Qin Huai entered the password, the bell stopped. The back door connects to the garage.Walking through the garage, Nalan noticed that there were two sets of diving equipment hanging on the wall, including diving cylinders, masks, and buoyancy regulators. Nalan had learned diving twice in the swimming team. He did not become a master, but he was an entry .Unexpectedly, Qin Huai has such a hobby.Why two sets of instruments?Kuang Yihui? There are two doors on the side of the garage, one of which directly enters the side door of the Chinese house, and the other door is probably a storage room.After entering the house, there was a bathroom next to the door, Qin Huai said, "Just take a shower here, Junjun should have prepared a change of clothes for you." Nalan nodded and went into the bathroom. When she came out, she was wearing a soft nightdress and soft linen slippers on her feet, making her extremely comfortable.She didn't know how to thank the Jun Jun who hadn't met yet, and secretly lamented what kind of virtue Qin Huai had cultivated in her previous life to meet Fang Wendong and Jun Jun, a couple who did their best for friends. Qin Huai also changed into a T-shirt and a pair of khaki pants.He led Na Lan to the guest room upstairs.The guest room is bigger than Nalan’s dormitory—when she thinks of the dormitory, she thinks of Tao Zi, and she thinks that she should call Tao Zi; when she thinks of the phone, she sees the mobile phone on the dresser and the electronic clock on the bedside table. There are two minutes.Calling Tao Zi at this time is purely harassment—in addition to the dressing table, there is a small computer desk, a wardrobe, a TV, and a low bed in the room, with a neutral style. "Welcome," Qin Huai said. "Take a good night's sleep. It's a pity that there is no 'Do Not Disturb' sign for you to hang, but to prevent perverts, you can lock the door." Nalan smiled and said, "A sheep in wolf's clothing is nothing to be afraid of." "Relax your vigilance, you will be responsible for the consequences." Qin Huai stopped talking and went downstairs. Nalan stood there for a moment, then closed the door.
