Chapter 398, Section 397: Night, Grassland, Tent
As evening fell, camping tents were set up on the vast green meadow, and hundreds of people gathered around a lively barbecue area, organized by their respective departments.
Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan went around visiting different places, and while asking about the situation, they were fed to their hearts' content by their own enthusiastic employees.
After a satisfying meal, the two strolled hand in hand around the tranquil lakeside. There were many other recreational activities they could have enjoyed, but it was getting late, and neither horseback riding, boating, nor scootering along the winding road would be safe.
Most importantly, the staff of the scenic area's related projects have already gone off work.
Lin Yanwan took photos everywhere with her digital camera. In addition to the beautiful scenery of Jinhai Lake, her lens also captured the smiling faces of her employees and the golden-brown, oily skewers of meat.
"Are you planning to make this team building activity into a video?" Jiang Xia asked with a smile.
"Okay, let's shoot some footage first, and then edit it when we get back. Maybe we can even make a promotional video." Lin Yanwan nodded, taking a look at the results of the footage.
"A promotional video for Jinhai Lake? We'll have to ask the owner here for some advertising fees."
Putting everything else aside, given their current online popularity, the video will likely attract a lot of traffic after it's released.
"Can you get it?" Lin Yanwan asked with a smile.
"We can give it a try. If it really doesn't work, how about a discount when we pay the bill?"
The two chatted and laughed as they gradually moved away from the tent area where the employees were. The surrounding area was filled with the sounds of insects and birds, and a fragrant breeze caressed their faces, creating a tranquil and serene atmosphere.
Jiangxia opened her arms, took a deep breath of the fresh and rich oxygen, and let the gentle breeze of nature soothe her.
After spending too much time in the bustling capital, a trip to a scenic resort offers a unique sense of relief, a chance to unwind and escape to nature. It relaxes both body and soul.
"Phew, it's still so comfortable to stay in nature." He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, as if all his recent fatigue had been swept away.
"Otherwise, why do you think so many wealthy people prefer villas with quieter environments?" Lin Yanwan said with a smile.
"Quiet, serene, and with fresh air, living in such an environment for a long time will reduce the number of illnesses one will have throughout their life."
"Isn't that right?"
Lin Yanwan sat on the lawn, looking up at the gradually darkening sky, where one or two stars were twinkling.
"Honey, do you remember when we climbed Mount Tai?" she suddenly asked, turning her head.
Jiang Xia was slightly dazed. Climbing Mount Tai was the last time the two of them went on a happy trip together, several years after they got married in their previous life, and before they started arguing frequently.
“I remember,” he said softly.
To see the sunrise, the two climbed Mount Tai overnight. Lin Yanwan was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep in his arms. He felt sorry for his wife and didn't wake her up, but she nagged him about it countless times.
"If I have the chance, I'd like to go again." Lin Yanwan lay down, put her hands behind her head, and her tone became ethereal.
"good."
"What if I fall asleep again?" she said with a smile.
Jiang Xia lay down next to her and smiled slightly: "Even if you're exhausted this time, I'm going to wake you up."
Lin Yanwan turned to look into his eyes, smelling the fragrance of the grass mixed with soil and lake water, and gently kissed his lips.
Before we knew it, night had fallen, the bright moon overhead cast its soft light, and the lake in front of us reflected the shimmering light.
Lin Yanwan, her face flushed with embarrassment, straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, her gaze fixed on the distant lights, and hurriedly climbed off him.
She glared at Jiang Xia, annoyed. This guy had no sense of occasion; she almost got eaten by him in the wild.
What if someone suddenly walks by, or there's a hidden camera somewhere? Would she still have any shame?
Jiang Xia felt embarrassed; he had indeed been a bit inconsiderate. He had originally wanted to take his wife to the grove to talk about life, but he was worried that the grove might not be safe at night, so he had to give up on the idea.
It seems that for them to have sex in the field, they'll have to go on a private road trip and find a quiet, secluded place.
"Hmph, let's go back! I really want to bite you to death!"
"Cough, I'll let you bite it when we get back."
Lin Yanwan naturally knew he was acting crazy, but arguing with a shameless guy about whether to bite or bite was a very futile thing to do.
Therefore, the best approach is to simply ignore him and see how long he continues his erratic behavior.
The two walked back hand in hand and saw the employees sitting in twos and threes chatting, while some were eating barbecue and watching an open-air movie.
The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.
Li Weiya and Zhou Lu huddled together chatting about the company's future development. On the table in front of them were fruits, red wine, and several plates of barbecue.
Before they were colleagues, the two often communicated in private. Now that they both work under Jiang Xia, their relationship has become better and better.
Jiang Xia found a few managers and told them to pay attention to the safety of their employees and to prohibit them from swimming in the lake without any safety measures. Then he took his wife back to the starry sky cabin they had booked in advance.
Despite being called a "starry sky house," it's actually just a tent with a viewing window set up by the scenic area itself. The view faces south, with lake bends on the east and west sides and mountains on the north side. During the day, you can see the mountains covered in maple leaves, making it a truly unbeatable lake view room.
The tent is quite spacious, over 30 square meters, and features a large 1.8-meter bed, bath towels and bathrobes, air conditioning, a private bathroom, hotel toiletries, and 24-hour instant hot water. Its comfort level is comparable to some of the best hotels.
Lying on the soft, large bed, you can see the calm lake through the glass window.
Jiang Xia turned his head and saw his wife taking off her clothes. Recalling the Chinese language they had just discussed on the grass, he reached out and gently pulled her into his arms, burying his head deep in the crook of her neck and inhaling her scent.
"Ah! What are you doing—" Lin Yanwan let out a soft cry, feeling Jiang Xia's kiss land on her lips. She said coquettishly, "I've been sweating all day and haven't taken a shower yet!"
"Hmm, let's shower together."
As Jiang Xia spoke, he skillfully took off his clothes, carried her into the bathroom in his arms.
The silhouettes of the two were faintly reflected on the opaque frosted glass. Lin Yanwan quietly looked at the shimmering lake outside, suppressing a sob in her throat.
◇
The next day.
Amidst the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of insects, Jiang Xia awoke slowly. He drew back the curtains, and the morning sunlight streamed through the glass into the tent, indicating that the weather would be quite pleasant today.
By this time, many staff members were already out and about. The young couple finished washing up and went to the terrace. They sat under a parasol and asked the staff for a cup of coffee and a sandwich. Enjoying the fresh lake breeze, they savored the peaceful and pleasant morning. A new day had begun.
