Chapter 35 An Encounter in the Park
Zhao Meng scoffed, "With a company as wealthy as ours, this is nothing!"
Anmi had just woken up and wasn't very hungry, except for being thirsty.
There was enough food on the table for the two of them, so she didn't order any more.
After the two ate for a while, Zhao Meng suddenly stared at her and asked, "Anmi, what happened to your mouth?"
"I don't know..."
Anmi licked her lips.
"I woke up like this. Maybe it's because of the hot weather and I'm feeling hot."
The climate on Aoji Island is very different from that of Kyoto, and your skin may not be able to adapt to it suddenly.
Zhao Meng quickly poured her a glass of water.
"Drink more water, and remember to apply lip balm often."
"Thank you, Mengmeng!"
Anmi took the water: "Are we going to the park later?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Meng put down her chopsticks and took out a camera from the backpack next to her.
"I heard there are flamingos in this park on Qingji Island, I'm definitely going to take lots of pictures this time!"
Zhao Meng is a photography enthusiast who enjoys taking photos outdoors with her camera when she's not working.
Anmi: "Flamingo?"
Zhao Meng: "Yes, it's right there in the wetlands. Lots of people have taken pictures of it online. I'll find it for you."
Zhao Meng opened the small book and showed An Mi the notes she had found.
In the photo, flocks of pink flamingos stand in the water, looking particularly beautiful.
She highlighted the following text: "Look here! The blogger said that you can touch flamingos if they are not in breeding season."
You can even pet flamingos?!
Anmi's interest was immediately piqued.
"Then let's eat quickly, and then hurry up and go!"
"OK!"
After the two finished their meal, they came down to the lobby and happened to run into the girls who had sat at the next table the night before.
They had already eaten, and when they heard that the two women were going to see the flamingos, they immediately said that they wanted to go too.
The group of people formed a flamingo team and headed towards the seaside park.
The drive from the hotel to the park takes about 30 minutes.
After getting off the bus, you still need to take a sightseeing bus to reach the wetlands where flamingos can be found.
The group boarded a sightseeing bus and drove through the tall coconut grove.
Before even reaching the finish line, Anmi could see a large expanse of pink in the sunlight from afar.
A flock of flamingos were resting on their feet in the water, their pink bodies reflected in the shimmering waves, like a magnificent sunset burning underwater.
As soon as Zhao Meng got out of the car, she couldn't wait to set up her camera.
The other young ladies also took out their phones and started taking selfies.
Anmi quietly approached the outer fence of the wetland.
Nearby, several flamingos were standing alone, cleaning their feathers with water. Anmi took several photos of them with her phone, planning to post them on her WeChat Moments later.
However, the environment where the flamingos lived was quite smelly, and after taking pictures for a while, her nose couldn't stand it anymore.
The other girls seemed a bit disgusted and asked the two of them if they wanted to go somewhere else.
This park is very large, and it not only has flamingos, but I've also heard that there are alpacas, lemurs, and artificially cultivated plant forests with many rare trees to see.
Zhao Meng declined.
She said her trip was solely for photographing flamingos and told them not to worry about her and to just explore on their own.
Anmi and the other girls took a sightseeing bus to another place.
They rode around in a sightseeing bus for a while.
The map shows a body of water surrounded by coconut groves in the center of the park.
There are many people around there, so a food street has formed along the water, and many mobile vendors gather there.
The group planned to go there to buy some cold drinks and take a break.
When we arrived at the location, it was indeed a very lively place.
The lake was dug out by hand, and high steps were built around its edge, where people sit and fish.
The group went to the lemonade stand to buy drinks, but all the seats in front of the stand were taken, so they had to go to the steps instead.
Anmi had just sat down on the steps when she spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
The man was wearing a tight black t-shirt that looked very familiar to her, which accentuated his strong back muscles. Below his lean waist were white casual pants, and he wore a baseball cap. The wristwatch on his forearm, with its prominent veins, glittered in the sunlight.
What a small world!
Seeing Yan Jinnian in the hotel lobby is one thing, but how come I run into him while strolling in the park? Is Qingji Island really that small?
Anmi took a sip of lemonade, completely unaware that she had been staring intently at the other person's back.
"What are you looking at?" The girl next to her, Yaqing, suddenly nudged her arm.
Anmi's straw fell out of her mouth: "No... just... watching people fish."
Her stammering immediately aroused Yaqing's suspicion.
She looked in the direction where Anmi had been lost in thought and immediately noticed a conspicuous male figure in the crowd.
"Wow, what a muscular man! That physique is amazing!"
Before Anmi could deny it, Yaqing quickly shared her discovery with her sisters.
The girls immediately perked up:
Whose old-money-style boyfriend is he?
"So tall, are you a model?"
"Wow, those legs are so long!"
Wow, that inverted triangle back…
"With such a perky butt, you must work out regularly."
Anmi listened silently to their discussion, her tendency to feel awkward for acquaintances resurfacing.
The group watched for a while.
"Hey! I think I've seen him at our hotel before!" a young woman suddenly exclaimed.
"real?"
"Really! I went into the elevator with him the day before yesterday."
Anmi quietly pricked up her ears.
"Do you know which floor he lives on?"
"It seemed to be the eighth floor. There were only him and me in the elevator at the time. I remember he pressed 8."
Eighth floor?
Anmi's heart skipped a beat.
Does that mean I'll be living on the same floor as her?
The other sisters were somewhat skeptical of her words.
"You have such a good memory?"
The woman scoffed, "You'd remember a handsome guy like that after just one glance."
As he spoke, the man suddenly turned around and walked up the steps.
Anmi quickly raised the lemonade in her hand to cover her face.
Ya Qing asked, puzzled, "An Mi, what are you doing?"
Feeling guilty, she said, "I...I'm applying ice to my face because it's sunburned."
While talking to Yaqing, she turned her body around, facing away from behind.
Wow, look at that! He's so handsome!
The young women in front of me were still covering their mouths and whispering.
Anmi felt as if a cool breeze had swept over her back.
She turned around, but Yan Jinnian was already gone.
The part of my face that touched the cup felt a little numb from the cold.
"How about we go take some photos in the coconut grove?" someone suggested.
“Okay, let’s shoot those best friend style videos that are popular online.”
They were already good friends, and Anmi felt embarrassed to force herself into their group photo.
To avoid making everyone feel awkward, she offered, "You guys take pictures, I just need to go to the restroom."
The restroom is about 1km away; you need to keep walking along Rainbow Path.
After walking for a while and confirming that they could no longer see her, Anmi stopped and sat down under a tall coconut tree nearby.
