The group then headed towards the guesthouse's restaurant.
The restaurant is also filled with a strong pastoral style, with dark brown wooden tables and chairs arranged neatly, and the tabletops wiped spotless, reflecting people's images.
The walls are adorned with exquisitely framed local landscape paintings, depicting rolling green hills, golden rice paddies, and babbling brooks, making one feel as if they are in a pastoral paradise.
The group casually found a place to sit down, and a waiter dressed in a simple blue shirt handed them the menu with a smile.
Lu Qingzhou took the menu, handed it to Su Qingyao and the others, and said gently, "You can order now."
Su Qingyao took the menu, her slender fingers lightly tracing the dishes on it, and ordered several local specialties.
There are stir-fried bamboo shoots, stewed stream fish with tofu, and farmhouse-style stir-fried pork, among other dishes.
Before long, steaming hot dishes were served one after another, and the aroma instantly filled the entire table.
Leng Yue stared intently at the dishes on the table. The rich and mellow aroma gently wafted into her nostrils, making her stomach rumble with anticipation for the meal to begin.
Seeing Leng Yue's expression, Lu Qingzhou shook his head and smiled, "Let's start eating."
After finishing the meal,
Lu Qingzhou put down his chopsticks, glanced at everyone, and said, "Anyone interested in fishing later?"
Leng Yue was still enjoying the satisfaction brought by the delicious food.
Upon hearing this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he jumped up from his chair with such excitement that he almost knocked over the chair next to him.
He shouted loudly, "I'm going fishing, handsome Lu! Let's have a competition later and see who catches the most fish!"
The loud and boisterous voices drew the attention of passersby.
Su Qingyao gently tugged at her and said reproachfully, "You're a young lady, you should pay attention to your image."
Leng Yue also sensed something was amiss, stuck out her tongue, and obediently sat down on the stool.
Lu Qingzhou glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said confidently, "Alright, I'll show you my fishing skills in a bit."
Zhang Ruoshui looked at Zhouzhou and Momo gently and said softly, "You two go and have fun. I'll take them to play around nearby."
Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua actually had little interest in fishing, but seeing how enthusiastic Lu Qingzhou was, they didn't want to spoil his fun, so they nodded and agreed.
So, Lu Qingzhou led the group to find the guesthouse owner.
The owner is a warm and hospitable middle-aged man, slightly overweight, with a kind smile always on his face.
Upon seeing the group arrive, he hurried over with a broad smile, enthusiastically taking out several sets of fishing gear from behind him and handing them over while saying, "Please feel free to use these; they're all top-quality fishing gear, guaranteed to help you catch big fish."
I took the fishing gear and thanked the shop owner.
The group, carrying their fishing gear, walked toward the fishing platform they had seen earlier. The platform was surrounded by dense reeds, swaying in the wind and making a rustling sound.
Lu Qingzhou led the way.
Leng Yue chattered incessantly beside her, while Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua walked side by side, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones, their gazes frequently falling on Lu Qingzhou.
As the group approached the fishing platform, the view, which had been obscured by reeds, gradually became clearer.
The platform is built with thick wooden planks, and the years have left mottled marks on it.
Suddenly, Mu Shaohua's expression tightened, and she quickly tugged at Su Qingyao's sleeve, gesturing for her to look at a figure on the platform.
Not far away,
A woman in a light blue dress was sitting there quietly fishing.
Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few strands swaying gently in the breeze, adding to her gentle and graceful appearance.
Her gaze was fixed on the fishing rod in front of her, her eyes focused and determined.
Hearing footsteps behind her, the woman in the light blue dress turned her head slightly.
After the two recognized each other, everyone was surprised. "It's you...."
For a moment, everyone stood frozen in place, with only the rustling of the reeds still echoing in their ears.
