One day, Shen Shiyan invited Jiang Dai to go to the resort with him, Jiang Dai was not eager to agree, but she was finally convinced by Shen Shiyan.The morning sunlight poured into the house through the glass windows, Shen Shiyan prepared a sumptuous breakfast for her, everything seemed so cozy and natural.
They strolled together on the tree-lined grass, and the sunlight shone on both of them.Jiang Dai suddenly realized that she was no longer the calm and rational woman she was at the beginning, but began to look forward to his every move.
In the evening, they walked by the lake, Shen Shiyan handed her a bouquet of eustoma flowers and said softly, "You like this flower, I remember."
Jiang Dai froze, and a complex emotion suddenly surged in her heart.She didn't know when she started to rely on him and started to crave his care.
During the rainy season in Chiang Mai, the raindrops outside the window hit the glass and made a crisp sound.Jiang Dai sat in front of the window, looking at the fading blur of the scenery outside, but the emotions surging inside were hard to calm down.
It was their third month together, Jiang Dai just happened to be the end of the project, Shen Shiyan finished shooting a nature documentary, and the two of them were free for a whole week.
The B&B in Chiang Mai is not high-class, but there is a small courtyard, greenery grows like crazy, and the ceiling fan turns slowly.Shen Shiyan personally chose it, reasoning that "it's like a house where the days go by very slowly."
Jiang Dai came out of the shower, wearing wet hair, sitting on the rattan chair.He was lighting mosquito coils, moving awkwardly like a boy living for the first time.
"Didn't you say you're experienced in field shooting?"She teased with a smile.
Shen Shiyan gritted his teeth and dialed the lighter, "In the wild it's burning firewood, not lighting this rose-flavored mosquito incense."
She laughed, the genuine kind, smiling and bending her eyes.He glanced at her and suddenly said, "Jiang Dai, you look better here, than in the office."
She was stunned for a moment, looked down and didn't say anything.Rain fell and hit the banana leaves outside the window.He took a dry towel and squatted down to help her wipe her hair, too gentle for words.
That night, they didn't do anything.Just sitting on the bamboo bench in the corridor, listening to the sound of the rain and leaning shoulder to shoulder.
Shen Shiyan prepared hot soup for her and walked over to hand it to her, "Drink something hot, it's too cold outside."
Jiang Dai took the soup bowl and said after a moment of silence, "Why are you so good to me?"She lowered her head, her fingers gently rubbing the soup bowl.
Shen Shiyan smiled, "Because you don't let me down.Everyone deserves to be warmed."Those words were like a key that opened the softest place in her heart.
Jiang Dai suddenly realized that Shen Shiyan was not the kind of cynical person she imagined, he really cared about her.
At night in Tokyo, the bright neon lights lit up the streets.Shen Shiyan made sushi for her, and as he did so, he chatted with her about past stories: "I've made a lot of documentaries, but I've never made a movie about myself.Perhaps the most worthwhile things to document are those real emotions."
Jiang Dai's heart stirred, suddenly feeling that the relationship between the two was getting deeper and deeper, and despite her efforts to keep her distance, she still couldn't avoid the fate of getting closer to him.
Kyoto was suggested by Jiang Dai, who wanted to have a weekend without a schedule.
Shen Shiyan woke up early and went out at six o'clock to stand in line for two cups of soymilk and a box of freshly made matcha wakame.He had just pushed his way back in when she woke up.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, "You went for a run?"
"Went to stand in line for breakfast."He said, like an old companion of many years.
She took the soy milk and whispered her thanks.He suddenly said, "Jiang Dai, if we're like this, isn't it too much like getting married?"
She looked up at him, "You want to tie the knot?"
He shook his head, "I'm afraid you don't want to."
She didn't say any more, just took a sip of soybean milk and smiled, "I don't want to tie the knot, but it's quite good now."
