Chapter 15
Arriving at the scenic spot listed in the Mingxu guide, Yan Qing felt like retreating when he saw the huge crowd, but he followed the orderly team and slowly moved forward, with the security guard beside him supervising with a loudspeaker.
"Don't cut in line, don't crowd." Yan Qing heard the two children in front of her covering their mouths and learning with a slight accent, and were scolded by the adults at home.
The lively scene made her mood better.
The last bit of dark clouds in the sky were blown away.
The child in front was very excited, jumping up and down, pointing at the sky: "Mom! It's not raining anymore, it's not raining anymore."
The child's parents looked at each other, their faces filled with despair.
Ming Xu came over to talk to Yan Qing: "Masters don't like to go out."
Yan Qing turned around and looked him in the eye: "Does Dengta like to go out?"
Ming Xu was stunned and stared blankly at the person in front of him. The lighthouse would not go out, but if the boat it illuminated disappeared, he would go out to look for it.
The person in front had turned his back to him. Ming Xu followed the team forward and the two of them came to an area with no cover.
The children in front started chattering again. Their mother lost her patience and simply sat on the curb. "Husband, please watch the kids."
The child's father, who was entrusted with the important task, agreed reluctantly with a sullen face.
Yan Qing looked around and was about to tell the person behind him that he wanted to buy a fan when a shadow blocked his view.
She looked back and saw Ming Xu holding up his coat to make a tent above her head, with the corners of his coat drooping, just like Yan Qing himself.
"I'm not hot."
"Your hair is falling down due to the heat."
Hearing this, Yan Qing touched her hair, only to find that she had been fooled. "Nonsense, take it off and put it on yourself. It will be bad if you get sunburned."
Ming Xu was wearing a sleeveless shirt underneath. His skin was white, as if it would never get tanned, and he didn't have any sunburn marks like other people who wore short sleeves.
Noticing Yan Qing looking at his arms a few more times, Ming Xu whispered, "I can't get tanned."
He was so hateful that Yan Qing didn't care whether he would get sunburned or not.
Seeing Yan Qing no longer paying attention to him, Ming Xu chuckled softly and straightened his clothes again. Something seemed to have happened up ahead; the team hadn't moved for a long time. The children who had been playing just now had lost their energy, and the sun had wilted the flowers of the motherland.
"Mom, why don't you move forward?"
Yan Qing stuck her head out and glanced at the team ahead, and saw that many people were like her. "I'll go check it out."
When he heard that someone was going to check, the child's father, who was about to go, stopped moving.
After a while, Yan Qing came back. The child's father was very familiar with him and asked, "What happened up there?"
Yan Qing handed the water in her hand to Ming Xu, "The people taking pictures in front are taking up space and won't leave."
Mingxu put the clothes on his arm, unscrewed the water bottle and handed it back, then he heard the child's father want to go over and see what was going on.
The mother of the children who was sitting nearby also stood up and comforted the two children who had lost their energy. She said to Yan Qing, "My husband is a policeman. Let him go over and take a look. Maybe he can solve the problem."
Indeed, the scenic area management staff did not play much of a role when they arrived at the scene. However, after two policemen passed by, several troublemakers who were occupying spots, although still talking stubbornly, automatically left the photo-taking and check-in area.
"This is so uncivilized! These people should be blacklisted. One person delayed us for 20 minutes, so for so many of us, it would take half a year."
Yan Qing felt that the child’s mother might also be a teacher, as this set of rhetoric was too familiar.
After the little incident, the team became smooth and arrived at the photo-taking and check-in area half an hour later.
The family of four just asked Yan Qing to take a group photo for them, and they enthusiastically wanted to take a few photos for Yan Qing and Ming Xu. They were so enthusiastic that Ming Xu agreed directly.
"You two, come closer."
"Change the action and hug."
Yan Qing was stunned and didn't want to take the photo anymore, but Ming Xu pulled her back, and his arm was placed loosely on Yan Qing's back.
Looking at the photos on the phone, Yan Qing said, "I'll send them to you when I get home tonight."
"good."
Ming Xu's eyes never left Yan Qing's phone. He was secretly happy. With the photo together, their relationship seemed to be closer, unlike the awkwardness this morning.
Walking all the way to the end of the flower lane, you will see a huge waterfall.
Along the way, Yan Qing rejected Ming Xu's countless invitations to take photos. Feeling that Ming Xu was becoming unhappy little by little, Yan Qing took the initiative to ask him to take photos for her.
"No more filming."
Are you angry? Yan Qing was about to speak when he smelled a strange smell. It was too stinky.
The two took a few quick steps and saw the cleaner coming over with tools.
"You did this on purpose, Mingxu?" Yan Qing crossed his arms. This man must be taking revenge on him.
Yan Qing was secretly complaining in his heart about being petty.
Ming Xu looked into her eyes and reminded her, "Don't scold me."
Huh? How would he know? She wasn't fooled. "I'll definitely curse out loud. Cursing without anyone hearing it is useless."
After saying that, Yan Qing walked to the front.
"Your phone is ringing."
Yan Qing turned around and saw her cell phone in Ming Xu's hand. She didn't know when her bag was also in Ming Xu's hand.
It was a video call from Zhou Mingshu.
After giving the phone to Yan Qing, Ming Xu went to the nearby furniture store to hang out.
The phone was not picked up for a long time. Zhou Mingshu looked at everyone with regret: "She didn't answer. I'll find someone else." As he was speaking, a female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mingshu?"
Zhou Mingshu felt something was wrong, but he pretended to be calm and kept his eyes busy.
Looking at Zhou Mingshu making faces on the phone, Yan Qing frowned: "What's wrong with you?" But when he saw the crowd inadvertently showing through the gap, he understood and turned off the video directly.
"My boyfriend is asleep."
As soon as Ming Xu came out, he saw Yan Qing standing by the door, covering the microphone and talking secretly.
My boyfriend fell asleep? Who are you kidding?
Zhou Mingshu seemed to have turned on the speakerphone, and as soon as he said this, everyone exclaimed "Wow".
Yan Qing expressed his urgency again: "If there's nothing else, then leave it at that. It's already early morning here."
"In the early morning?" Seeing her hang up the phone, Ming Xu walked over and said, "I should cover your head with clothes."
The sudden voice startled her: "Isn't this just to cooperate with Mingshu?"
After saying that, he explained: "Mingshu is the book boy."
After explaining, Yan Qing realized that he should have already known it. Then she realized why she had to explain to him, "Why are you still eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"
Ming Xu didn't say anything, and the topic was abruptly cut short.
Walking out of the flower alley, you will see the waterfall. The front is already crowded with people. Yan Qing is tall, so he can see clearly what is in the pool even if he stands at the back.
After checking the time, Yan Qing felt a little tired, so he reminded Ming Xu: "Let's go have lunch."
After passing the waterfall, there is a large square with mostly small stalls and restaurants. Yan Qing is not used to the food in Yuncheng, and Mingxu did not express his own opinions, but just followed her, which made her feel a little pressured.
"What do you want to eat?"
Ming Xu looked away from his phone screen and scanned the surroundings. "I don't really like Yuncheng food."
What a coincidence! Yan Qing was secretly delighted.
Sitting in the hot pot restaurant, not knowing whether Ming Xu liked hot pot or not, Yan Qing felt that she needed to explain: "The only thing here that seems to suit your taste is the coconut chicken hot pot."
Hearing this, Ming Xu looked up: "My taste?"
"Yeah, don't you people in Haicheng eat light food?"
"Yes, it's light."
After saying that, Ming Xu looked at Yan Qing thoughtfully. Does she even know my taste now?
Noticing Ming Xu staring at her, Yan Qing felt puzzled. She glanced at her clothes again. There were no stains. What had happened to this man? He had suddenly become a different person?
While eating, Mingxu seemed to be busy with work and kept looking at his mobile phone. He even went out to make two phone calls.
Yan Qing ate hot pot silently, replying to Zhou Mingshu's messages from time to time.
[Zhou Mingshu]: I was really scared today, luckily you reacted quickly.
[Yan Qing]: Prepare to die!
[Zhou Mingshu]: Your Majesty, spare me! How are you two progressing? (/smirk)
Yan Qing kept talking about their relationship. She rolled her eyes and looked at Ming Xu who had just returned from outside.
He glanced at his phone and said, "Sorry, it's been resolved. I won't be answering calls from now on."
This person must have misunderstood. Yan Qing was afraid of overthinking, so he nodded.
[Yan Qing]: Zhou Mingshu, it’s all your fault.
As soon as Zhou Mingshu put a piece of beef into his mouth, he was stunned. Do I have to report eating beef?
Looking at the message sent by Yan Qing, Zhou Mingshu was satisfied. This was good. The relationship between the two could be taken to the next level. If there were any misunderstandings, they had to be explained. As long as there was something to say, there was no need to worry about the heat declining.
Looking at her boyfriend eating heartily beside her, Zhou Mingshu felt that her love was too easy.
Fan Zhuoyi was a little overwhelmed, not knowing why his girlfriend suddenly acted like this. He trembled and said, "Baby, what's wrong with you?"
"Do you feel that our relationship is going too smoothly, we've never had a fight, and everything seems to be arranged?" Zhou Mingshu had stopped eating and started thinking about their relationship, which scared Fan Zhuoyi.
"Baby, tell me what I did wrong and I will change it." Fan Zhuoyi felt his back was wet. He didn't know why his girlfriend said this suddenly. He went over everything he had done and said recently over and over again, but couldn't figure it out.
Zhou Mingshu grabbed his hand: "You're fine."
"Ah?" This made Fan Zhuoyi even more confused.
Seeing someone looking over here, Zhou Mingshu stopped making things difficult for Fan Zhuoyi. He was a really good boyfriend, but he was just too fanciful.
"It's okay, baby. I was just thinking about Xixi."
When he heard Yan Qing's name, Fan Zhuoyi breathed a sigh of relief, as if there was nothing wrong with him.
Yan Qing and Ming Xu didn't say another word. The restaurant was noisy and each of them had their own thoughts.
It was almost two o'clock after dinner. Coming out of the restaurant, Yan Qing looked at the sky. There was a dark cloud covering the sky not far away.
The B&B owner's phone rang at this moment.
After hanging up the phone, the two walked out.
"The boss said it's going to rain, so I'm on my way. Do you want to buy anything else?" Yan Qing explained to him.
Ming Xu looked down at the things in his hand and asked her, "What about you?"
Yan Qing was stunned for a second, then thought of Ming Xu holding his things in his hand, and shook his head: "I don't have anything either, let's go quickly."
Before they reached the door, it started to rain. Yan Qing was put into the pavilion. She wanted to go with Ming Xu, but was rejected.
Looking at the figure running back and forth in the store, Yan Qing suddenly thought of the person in the game.
It was the same for him at that time. He was doing the task alone in front, and Yan Qing only needed to follow, and then his hands could leave the keyboard.
He must have been angry when I left without saying goodbye.
"Just buy one and make do with it. There's a traffic jam outside, so we need to go out more." Then he took out a huge plastic bag and said, "Put everything in it."
Two people squeezed into the small umbrella, and the way forward seemed blocked.
Yan Qing looked up: "Are you angry?"
Seeing Mingxu's bewildered expression, she asked again, "Back then, I..."
Ming Xu guessed what she was going to say, and before she could finish her words, he tilted his head and looked into her eyes: "I don't care now."
The phone rang, and Yan Qing didn't ask any more questions.
