Chapter 33
Ruan Yan thought about it and said, "Let's go buy some ornaments and put them in there later. Otherwise, the house will be too empty."
Ming Yunle then remembered that Ruan Yan was only renovating and hadn't bought many things yet, so he asked, "Okay, what do you like?"
This question completely stumped Ruan Yan. After a long pause, he said, "My preferences... as you know, are quite a lot."
That's indeed the case.
Ruan Yan said: "I can't figure out how to buy it for the time being, so can you help me?"
"Of course."
Seeing Ming Yunle agreed without thinking, Ruan Yan was very happy.
He said: "If there are too many styles, the house will look very messy. I have been choosing for a while, but I am not satisfied with any of them."
Ming Yunle gave another very pertinent suggestion.
"Then you can decorate the study or bedroom in a different style than outside. It's separated by a door anyway, so it can't be seen at a glance."
They chatted for a while, and before going to bed, Ming Yunle saw a local photo of City A.
He clicked on it to enlarge it and found that it was actually a photo of a lotus pond.
This photo is a bit blurry, but you can see that the scenery is beautiful. It is a place Ming Yunle likes to go.
Ming Yunle asked, "The lotus flowers are in bloom now. Do you want to go see them?"
They hadn't gone out to play for a long time, so Ruan Yan certainly wouldn't refuse, and they agreed to go tomorrow morning.
Although they had made an appointment and were about to arrive, the weather did not go as they wished and it started to rain.
Ming Yunle looked at the heavy rain outside and sighed.
Last time they went out without checking the weather forecast, they didn’t learn their lesson, and this time they forgot to check it again.
The car is parked in the parking lot. This scene looks so familiar.
They were even the only car in the parking lot; it seemed everyone had carefully checked the weather forecast.
Ming Yunle was simply speechless and laughed.
He looked at Ruan Yan and asked, "I want to ask how you feel now."
Ruan Yan covered his face with his hands and said nothing. After a while, he put his hands down and said, "This is the only time I forgot to check the weather forecast."
I have kept this habit for a year, but I forgot to check it yesterday.
They sat in the car and suddenly felt confused.
Ming Yunle said, "Where are we going then? Why don't we each go back home?"
But he didn't want to go back just like that.
They haven't seen each other in the past few days. It's a rare opportunity for them to go out and play together. It would be a pity if they just go back like this.
The rain outside was really heavy, definitely worse than the last time.
The weather forecast shows that the rain will continue until noon, and it is obviously unrealistic to wait here for the rain to stop.
Ruan Yan leaned back on the chair. He didn't want to send the person back just like that.
I thought about it for a long time and recalled their conversation yesterday.
"Where is that pottery shop?"
After this reminder, Ming Yunle remembered that they had agreed to make pottery.
But later when they talked about watching lotus flowers, they forgot about it.
Ming Yunle took out his cell phone and called Xia Chen.
Xia Chen must be busy right now, as no one answered the phone. Ming Yunle sent him another message to check, waiting to see if he would reply.
Ming Yunle waited for a while, and then remembered that Gu Jing went there with Xia Chen. Just as he was about to ask Gu Jing, he saw Xia Chen called back.
"Hey, cousin."
Ming Yunle asked: "Where was the place where you went to make vases last time?"
Xia Chen mentioned a place, but Ming Yunle couldn't remember it for a while. When he remembered it, he found that it was quite far away.
After hanging up the phone, Ming Yunle showed Ruan Yan the location.
Ruan Yan is very good at remembering routes. Although he is not a local, he has a general understanding of many places.
He glanced around, recognized where he was, and planned to drive straight over.
Ming Yunle said, "It's a bit far indeed. Anyway, I don't have any use for this ornament right now, so why not forget it?"
Ruan Yan said, "Originally, we won't get it right away after we make it, so we can make it first. If we get it, we can put it directly in our new home."
They drove to the store, but there was no parking nearby.
They parked the car in a nearby parking lot and found that it was quite far from the store.
It was still raining outside. Fortunately, Ruan Yan had anticipated that such an accident might happen one day, and he always kept an umbrella in his car. Otherwise, they would have to go to the mall to buy an umbrella first.
It rained so heavily today that not many people came out to shop, so naturally there were not many customers in the store.
They worked very hard and attentively for a long time, and were quite satisfied when they saw the finished vases.
Not only Ming Yunle is doing it, but Ruan Yan is also doing it.
He also made a vase, but it was just a little bit worse than Ming Yunle's. However, Ruan Yan felt that he did a pretty good job.
Ming Yunle relaxed his body, looked at the time, and found that it was already noon.
They did it for a really long time.
Looking at the vase in front of him, Ming Yunle thought that although it was not very good, at least it was not a disaster and it would not be a problem to put it on the shelf.
Ming Yunle said: "Fortunately, the finished product is okay."
Ruan Yan: "I told you I'll show you whatever it is. You're under too much pressure."
"Didn't you say to put it in the most conspicuous place?"
Ming Yunle knew him too well. What he said last night was absolutely true. Even if he failed, he would still let it go.
Ruan Yan suppressed a smile and said, "If you really don't want to, I can put it somewhere less conspicuous."
"Why didn't you say that just now?"
Ruan Yan was amused by Ming Yunle again.
After coming out of the store, they started bickering again, but this time it didn't last long because they both got hungry after talking for a while.
They were originally walking towards the parking lot, but when they realized that they were both hungry, they stopped.
It's already noon and they are a little hungry, so let's eat first and then talk about other things.
They turned around and went to a nearby restaurant.
It's almost one in the afternoon and past lunch time.
They didn't have any requirements for the restaurant and just picked the one closest to them.
By the time they sat down at a window seat, Ming Yunle and Ruan Yan no longer had the energy to talk and just wanted to eat.
After dinner, none of them mentioned going home, and they walked around the mall for a while to digest their food.
There were quite a few people in the mall, but since their main purpose was to digest their food, they bought very little after walking around for an hour.
Ming Yunle just bought a coat, and Ruan Yan looked for a while and bought a pair of shoes.
When they passed by the claw machine, they went to grab the dolls as usual.
Every time they pass by a claw machine, they usually come over to grab one.
But their luck was not very good today, and they didn't catch any after a while.
Ming Yunle didn't force it: "Forget it, come again next time."
After finishing their shopping at the mall, they finally started walking towards the parking lot.
The rain has stopped for a while, but according to the weather forecast it looks like it will rain again soon, so I definitely can't go see the lotus flowers today.
Even in this situation, they still had no plans to go back to their separate homes.
As they walked along the road, Ruan Yan asked, "Have you decided where you want to go?"
Where to go... In this situation, it seems that we can only stay indoors, as it will rain outside soon.
"Let's go bowling," Ming Yunle said, "Let me show you my strength."
This is a sport that Ming Yunle is very good at, but Ruan Yan is also quite strong. The two of them had a lot of fun playing in the bowling alley.
Ming Yunle felt a little regretful at first because he didn't reach the real destination, but the pottery making in the morning and bowling in the afternoon alleviated this regret a lot.
If Ruan Yan hadn't asked about Lotus later, he would have almost forgotten the real purpose of going out today.
I played bowling so hard in the afternoon that he said he didn't seem to come here specifically to play bowling today.
Ruan Yan was about to leave after sending Ming Yunle home. Ming Yunle thought that he had been bowling for a long time and had not eaten yet, so he pulled him in for dinner.
Ming Yunyuan asked, "I heard you went to see the lotus flowers. Did you get wet in the rain while you were there?"
"We didn't go at all," Ming Yunle said. "It rained so hard today that we were driven out not long after we parked."
To be more precise, they had just opened the car door when they saw raindrops falling on the ground, and they didn't even have time to stretch out their feet.
Ming Yunyuan laughed several times and said, "Let's go another day. The lotus leaves are always there anyway."
This time, Ruan Yan confirmed tomorrow's weather with Ming Yunle again before leaving.
After confirming that it would be sunny the next two days, they agreed to come back to see the lotus the next day.
*
There were many people in the lotus pond, and they chose a place with fewer people to appreciate the lotus.
Ming Yunle looked at the scenery in the pond and sighed that he had come to the right place.
There was green all around, and Ming Yunle's mood, which was not bad to begin with, became even better after seeing it.
He also brought a camera and took many photos.
Ruan Yan asked, "You've never been here before?"
Ming Yunle shook his head: "It is indeed the first time. Why didn't I think of coming to see it before?"
Ruan Yan calculated the distance and said, "Maybe this place is too far from your home, so you can't find it right away."
Ming Yunle thought about it and felt that this was the reason, otherwise he had no reason not to come.
Ming Yunle took another photo and said, "Now that I've thought of it, I'll come here every summer to admire the lotus."
Just as he put away the camera, he saw Ruan Yan handing him the water.
Ming Yunle was surprised: "How did you know I wanted to drink water?"
Ruan Yan smiled and looked at him without saying anything. Ming Yunle took it and drank several sips.
The sun was a little strong today, so they didn't stand there for long before finding a shady place to look at the lotus flowers.
In Ming Yunle's opinion, he would not feel bored even if he spent the whole morning admiring the lotus.
Appreciating the lotus in summer is a very relaxing and enjoyable thing, especially today when the weather is not too hot. Looking at the lotus and feeling the breeze, Ming Yunle squinted his eyes comfortably.
Ruan Yan looked at the lotus pond and said, "It would be nice if I could have a glass of iced watermelon juice at this time."
"Let's drink now?"
Ruan Yan said, "No rush, it's not too late to drink it when we get back."
