...

Beijiang, Kashgar, Tianyuan International Hotel, Room 316.

Fang Xiayu let out a long sigh and lay exhausted on the snow-white double bed, stretching her waist. A black cowboy hat bought from Urumqi Dabaza fell on the edge of the double bed, and a black hair was scattered on the bed. The girl closed her beautiful eyes tightly, opened her mouth wide, took a deep breath, and then stretched her waist before she stood up from the bed.

"Why, I'm tired, little raindrops?" On another bed separated from Fang Xiayu, a short man with hair as big as a chicken coop was sitting cross-legged, his short legs overlapping each other, and his thick toes were erratic in the sky.

"Well, I'm a little tired. Today I climbed to the top of the Nalati hillside. I was so tired." The girl looked at the short man opposite the bed tiredly, and her beautiful and clear eyes were a little excited. "But it's quite worth it. The scenery on the top of the mountain over there is really beautiful. You can see so far when you look at the hillside grassland below from the top of the mountain."

"It's just that the smell of cow dung is a little bit stronger." The short man grinned and massaged his toes gently. "If you are really tired, I'll take you to do lavender foot massage tomorrow, and the effect will be absolutely good. Then buy a lavender pillow to go back. The lavender pillow is the best sleeper and you can sleep peacefully every day in the future."

The girl stretched her waist again, then lay heavily on the bed again, closed her eyes, and had a peaceful look on her face, her fragrant lips opened slightly, and the girl said in a joyful tone:

"It's only ten days, but I have really gone to many places. I have never thought about it before... I have never been so far away, nor have I met so many people... I met all kinds of people on the train, Hui people, sisters from Xi'an, jewelers who go to Hotan to sell jewelry, and the professor at Hangzhou Normal University who is chatting and laughing... I never dreamed that people of different professions and identities could live together for three days in the same place. It's really fun."

"It's only been a week, but now I think about it, we really went to many places... I drank horse milk at the Erdao Bridge in Urumqi, and at the mosque, Brother Chou, you bought me Yingjisha and cowboy hats... We also picked up pebbles on the banks of the Ertise River in Burz to eat grilled fish. It was a bit windy and there was also cow dung smell... Climbing up the 1,001 steps at the Kanas Fish Watch Platform, you've still had nosebleeds, ha... Wash your feet in the Hemu River under the platform at Hemu. The water is so cool... There is also Sailimu Lake, the sky is so beautiful, the wild horses there are so fierce, and there is a family of wild swans, ha."

Fang Xiayu closed her eyes and recalled everything she had experienced with Yu Jingtang these days. Scenes floated out of the girl's mouth with relish, full of the girl's excitement.

"Happy?" The dwarf smiled like a deep elder.

"I'm very happy." The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at the white zenith on the top of the hotel room. Her face was filled with a sincere and light innocent smile, but there was a hint of sadness and gloom in this smile.

"Thank you, Brother Ugly. I'm giving me such a wonderful memory."

"When a person is alive, he should see how big the world is." The short man sat on the bed sheet and smiled innocently, but his long and narrow eyes also captured the girl's eyes that were flashing with excitement but also contained complex lonely colors.

From the girl's empty words, the dwarf seemed to realize something.

The cheerful fire that had been in full swing for a few days was rapidly burning out, and as time went by, the trip between the two was about to come to an end.

When it's over, what's left for me?

Thinking of this, the smile on the short man's face disappeared, and his eyes as bright as a knife were hidden in the shadow of his slightly chaotic bangs.

"Where are you going tomorrow? Tianshan, Turpan, or to southern Xinjiang? Do you want to go to Dunhuang?" The dwarf asked tentatively. It seemed that he didn't want to end the trip too early.

"..." Hearing the dwarf's question, the girl Haojie's little face gradually calmed down. She stared blankly at the zenith, her pupils were reflected by the bright lights.

After a long time, the girl didn't say anything, just looked at the zenith.

"No, Brother Ugly. I'm a little tired. I won't go there tomorrow, okay? Let's take a day off in the hotel, okay?"

"Okay." The dwarf replied quickly, "I'll take you to a lavender foot massage to relieve fatigue. I can't stand changing places every day these days."

The girl nodded lightly, her eyes still staring at the top of the wall, but the lonely color became more and more prosperous.

In the room, it was as quiet as if no one was present.

"What's wrong? I'm a little rainy, and I'm suddenly not feeling good?" The short man hesitated several times, but finally couldn't help but ask the question he didn't want to ask the least.

Fang Xiayu slowly stretched out her neck, her white face was as snowy as she was, and her slightly injured eyes looked at the dwarf.

"Brother Ugly, I'm a little... homesick."

The last smile on the short man's face also disappeared.

Although I have long guessed the girl’s thoughts from the subtle expressions of a girl who doesn’t know how to hide her inner emotions, the short man’s mood is still extremely complicated at this moment.

"Don't want to play?" The short man's tone was surprisingly calm.

The girl stopped talking, seemed to be worried about something, and was struggling in thought.

"I want to play." The girl finally said, "But I'm a little tired... and, when I was having fun, I thought that my parents were worried about me, and when I went home, I felt... sorry for them."

"..." The short man listened quietly to the girl's words, without saying a word, but the flashing light in his eyes had already revealed the man's heart.

Finally, the short man sighed, jumped off the head of the bed, and said with a forced smile:

"Then let's play for two more days. Four days later, we will go back to Wuxi, okay? Life is just a few decades, but there may not be a chance to come here in the future."

"Well..." After a moment of silence, the girl finally nodded, and the lonely look on her face slightly weakened.

The short man took a breath, clapped his hands, and separated his thick lips and said:

"Take a shower, I'll buy mutton skewers. Since I'm about to leave, I have to eat it in a ball shape and go back with my stomach straight to get enough money, right?"

The girl finally smiled. The short blinked, then grabbed a black leather bag from the bedside table, and walked out of the hotel room.

The moment he walked out of the room door and closed the door, the dwarf suddenly stopped, his small body against the door of the room, and his whole body was still there.

The short man raised his head, clenched his small fists slightly, but quickly let go. After repeating this three times, he seemed to have made some difficult decision. He gritted his teeth, spat, gently scratched the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and then walked towards the hotel elevator with great strides.

Ten minutes later, the dwarf came to the nearest stationery store and spent five yuan to buy a notebook and an atomic pen in the stationery store.

In the stationery store, the short man gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and choked, and wrote half a page of ugly words on the notebook:
Chapter completed!
