Ayi is the soul that comes out of the mist of Lancang River.
The Dai skirt is wrapped around the waist, and the silver jewelry jingles with the gait. When he smiles, there is moisture at the end of his eyes, which can make the moonlight outside the bamboo building bend. The old man in the village said that this girl was given by the water god. She was born with a certain amount of charm and a certain amount of wildness, which ordinary people could not control.
Until she met Shen Yan.
A college student from the capital, his white shirt turns white after washing, he blushes when he talks, and gets confused when she looks at him twice. He broke into the water town with a camera on his back. He originally came to take pictures of folk customs, but he fell into the vortex of her laughter.
Ayi taught him to step on a bamboo raft and watched him fall into a mess on the slippery bluestone; she sang Dai love songs to him and saw that his ears were so red that he could not even hold the camera steady; she took him to ride at night and saw that his eyes reflected by the bonfire were as bright as the roundest moon in her hometown.
"Shen Yan," she stroked his hot chin with her fingertips, saying teasingly, "Are you Han men so careless about teasing?"
Shen Yan clenched her wrist tightly, his voice was tight, but he only had eyes for her: "Ayi, stop teasing me... I will take it seriously."
He didn't understand the wind hidden in her skirt, the poison wrapped in her singing, and he didn't understand why she always looked at the river in a daze when the moon was full. He only knew that his heart would beat wildly when he saw her, and he would go crazy when he didn't see her.
Later, some people said that the silly boy from the capital was entangled with the most attractive girl in the Dai family, and his soul was taken away.
Shen Yan protected Ayi behind him. Facing the rumors, his eyes were red but his tone was firm: "I did it voluntarily. My soul has been given to her a long time ago."
The water in the Lancang River is still flowing, and the moon in the Bamboo House is still shining.
She is the charm from the water, and he is the madness that crashes in from the shore.
This entanglement that started in the water town was originally her casual teasing, but it turned into a lifelong pursuit for him.
——"Ayi, come with me?"
——"Shen Yan, do you dare to marry me?"
