Chapter 16: She is everywhere I look
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, the two waited on the roadside for the driver to pick them up.
When Xu Yucheng looked up, she saw the big screen in the building opposite showing various attractions in the city.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is particularly lively.
The big screen was still lit up, and she suddenly didn't want to go back so early. She looked at the people around her and said, "How about we go out and play for a while before going home?"
Zhou Yichen had never rejected her since childhood, so he agreed and asked her, "Where do you want to go?"
She pointed to what was playing on the big screen and said, "There."
"Okay, we'll go when the driver comes."
She looked at the rows of shared bicycles on the roadside and felt conflicted.
"Want to ride?" He kept his eyes on her.
Xu Yucheng nodded.
Finally, after scanning two shared bicycles, they headed towards the tourist attraction.
Chaoyang City is very big. After Zhou Yichen looked up the address online, he asked her to follow him.
At this time, the sky darkened, the night wind whistled past my ears, and the neon lights on both sides of the road made the ground exceptionally bright.
In front, Zhou Yichen turned his head from time to time to see if she was keeping up. If she was far away, he would slow down.
Xu Yucheng's face was full of smiles. Her cycling skills were pretty good, and she quickened her pace.
In the blink of an eye, he caught up with the person in front, and the two of them were walking side by side in a straight line.
She smiled and raised her free hand to greet him.
He curled his lips and said, "Be careful."
After riding for a long time and still not reaching the destination, her legs were already feeling sore.
When passing the intersection ahead, I saw someone stopped.
Xu Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief and stopped beside him. "Are you tired too?"
Zhou Yichen smiled and said, "I'm tired too, let's stop and rest for a while." He noticed that her speed was starting to slow down when he passed the next traffic light.
Sitting on the bicycle, she looked up at the night sky, and he turned his head to look at her.
"Zhou Yichen!"
"I am here."
"Today's moon is so round and big."
There was tenderness in his eyes and he followed her gaze towards the sky.
Wherever the moonlight shines, there are stars.
Xu Yucheng turned her head towards him and said, "We'll celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together again this year."
He met her gaze and dragged out his words, "In the future, too."
The breeze carried these words into her ears. The moonlight tonight was warm in color.
After riding a bicycle all night, I arrived at the scenic spot and found no place to park.
At the security guard's suggestion, the two rode another kilometer forward.
After finally parking the car and backing out, I was told that I was too late and the park was closed.
Sitting on a chair on the street, Xu Yucheng propped her chin up with both hands and curled her lips, "If I had known, I wouldn't have rested for so long."
"Let's come again next time." The person next to her comforted her.
Zhou Yichen looked at the place not far away and said to her, "Sit here and wait for me for a while."
She looked forward and replied symbolically, "Okay."
Why is the park closed? It’s only nine o’clock now. She murmured silently to herself.
At this moment, a small cart selling flowers passed by.
She called out, stood up and walked over.
In the cart were bunches of wrapped flowers of all kinds.
Pointing to the corner of the car, he asked the boss, "What kind of flower is this white one?"
The boss replied, "This one is a gentian flower, it has a very good meaning."
"Then I'll have a bunch of these."
After paying the bill, she took the flowers and sat back on the chair. The boss just said that the flowers had a good meaning. Xu Yucheng was about to take out her mobile phone to search when a string of candied haws appeared in front of her.
Zhou Yichen sat down and said, "I just saw it's for sale."
She took the candied haws and took a bite.
"Is it tasty?"
"Sweet." She nodded repeatedly.
"Then don't be unhappy. I'll bring you here next time."
"Um!"
She handed him the flowers she had just bought and said, "For you."
Zhou Yichen didn't expect that she also bought flowers. His heart softened as he took it. "Lisianthus."
"Do you know this kind of flower?"
"Hmm." He raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't know?"
Xu Yucheng nodded and said, "Now I know."
He chuckled. The night wind was a little cool, and he held the flower tightly in his hand.
"I'll call the driver."
She shook her head. "Don't bother. Let's take a taxi home."
"good."
The two of them rode for nearly an hour. Xu Yucheng fell asleep in the bike, still holding a candied haws in her hand, looking out the window.
Zhou Yichen gently leaned her head closer, afraid that the candied haws would stick to her clothes, and reached out to take it.
As soon as the hand touched it, the sleeping girl seemed to feel it and murmured softly.
But he still heard her say, "No, this is what Zhou Yichen bought for me."
His heart was completely soft, and he coaxed her gently, "Chengcheng, be good."
He took the candied haws away and protected her head with his other hand.
When they arrived at the villa door, Zhou Yichen paid the money and picked up the person and carried him home.
Inside the room, Wen Yuyang looked at the person who had returned and asked worriedly, "What happened to Chengcheng?"
"Asleep." He answered quietly, afraid to wake her up.
I breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he had fallen asleep. However, I still reminded my son, "Xiaochen, Chengcheng is still young. You can't do anything out of the ordinary."
At this time, Zhou Yan came over and said, "Don't worry, Yangbao, he still knows his limits."
In the room, Zhou Yichen gently put the person on the bed, tucked the quilt for her, and then turned off the lights and left.
She returned to her room, put the bouquet of gentian flowers in the vase, and went into the bathroom.
The next day.
Xu Yucheng woke up from the bed, her mind still in a daze. She seemed to have fallen asleep in the car yesterday.
I rubbed my messy hair, got up and washed.
Mid-Autumn Festival is over and today is National Day.
Downstairs, Xu Yucheng didn't see the person she was looking for, so she asked the person on the sofa, "Mother Wen, where is Zhou Yichen? There's no one in his room."
Wen Yuyang stopped what he was doing and said with a smile, "Xiaochen and your father Zhou went to the company."
She also sat down on the sofa, "So that's how it is."
A few days ago, Zhou Yichen told her that from now on, he has been involved in the group's affairs, and Dad Zhou wants to retire early and travel around the world with Mom Wen.
Zhou Yichen is only one year older than her, but he is much smarter than her.
"Chengcheng, where did you go yesterday? You look so tired after coming back."
Xu Yucheng told her about riding a shared bike yesterday and the park closure.
"No wonder, Xiaochen carried you back last night when you fell asleep."
"You carried me back."
Wen Yuyang nodded, "Yes."
After sitting on the sofa and chatting for a while, they prepared to cook, and Xu Yucheng was responsible for washing the vegetables.
In the past, the two men in the family cooked, but this time they came.
While washing the vegetables, Wen Yuyang asked, "Today is National Day. Have you decided where to go?"
"not yet."
