Wei Lai stayed in front of the pedestal for a while and also felt very regretful.
After all, the incident happened when he could no longer remember anything. Now when he tried to find the past scene again, all he could see was the base of a statue.
"Xiaoting, let's keep going and come back here later."
"Okay, let's come back and have a picnic here later."
Wei Lai continued to move towards the pond, and Qingting followed him, holding the shoulder straps of her backpack.
When they arrived in front of the pond, the sun was almost above their heads.
The autumn wind was blocked by the trees around the pond, the leaves rustled slightly, and the surface of the pond was as quiet as a mirror.
Only when leaves fall will ripples appear.
As fallen leaves floated on the surface of the pond, Wei Lai put down his backpack and began to take off his clothes.
Qingting watched quietly from the side.
"Um, could you please turn around?"
"Why? Didn't you only wear a pair of underwear when you went swimming at the beginning of the school year?"
"Then don't stare at it."
Although Xiaoting was right, Wei Lai really couldn't stand her blinking eyes.
Being looked at like this is extremely embarrassing.
While Qingting was looking in other directions, Wei Lai quickly stripped himself naked and jumped into the pool in just his underwear.
The pond in autumn was a little colder than he had imagined. Fortunately, the climb up the mountain helped him warm up a little. After a while, he slowly adapted to the new environment.
The pool of water in the mountain stream seems to be running water, the water is very clear, and there are basically some stones and other things at the bottom.
In addition to the stones, there are also some coins thrown down by people in the past, which are unexpected.
However, because it has been so long, the embroidery has become unrecognizable. One can only barely judge from the round shape and size that it should be the one-yuan coin they use daily.
In addition to this, Wei Lai also discovered something strange.
There was a round white stone with some words written on it, but it was not clear in the water.
The sun gradually rose, and Qingting found a stone that looked relatively clean next to the pond.
She sat on it, put down her backpack, and helped Wei Lai look at his clothes.
He picked up some small stones on the ground and threw them into the pond out of boredom.
As I watched the ripples rising on the pond, I saw movement on the water surface.
Wei Lai suddenly emerged from the water and walked towards the shore trembling.
"Did you find anything?"
Qingting actually didn't think Wei Lai could find anything. She was more looking forward to the two of them returning to where they had been and having a quiet picnic together.
Just seeing him shivering, she still felt very distressed, and ran over to help him take out a towel from Wei Lai's backpack.
Just as she was about to help Wei Lai dry his body, he grabbed her hand and stuffed a white stone into it.
"I can do it myself. Can you help me check if there are any words inside this stone?"
Wei Lai rubbed his hair with a towel, wondering about the origin of the stone.
Was it originally under the pond, or was it thrown into the pond by someone out of boredom?
The latter possibility is very high, but it still makes Wei Lai very curious.
"Are there any words?"
Qingting raised the stone above her head and looked towards the sun, but could see nothing.
"No?"
After drying his hair, Wei Lai leaned over, still not believing it. He had clearly seen words under the pool before he brought it out.
"Then you can watch it yourself."
Seeing Wei Lai coming towards her naked, Qingting's eyes flashed with cunning. She returned the stone to Wei Lai and snatched his towel.
"Really not. Could it be that it was put into the water... Wait a minute! Xiaoting, I'll do it myself." Wei Lai had just got the stone and hadn't finished speaking when he immediately felt a pair of hands with a towel wiping his body.
"I'm helping you wipe it, and you're still not happy? Huh?"
"Then you can only wipe the top."
Wei Lai was really curious about the stone, and didn't want to fight with Xiao Ting by the pond, so he had to let her go for the time being.
But just as Xiaoting said, he wiped the stone with the undried water stains on his neck, but there were still no words on the stone.
It was as if he was dazzled when he was under the pool.
[Since I found it, I might as well keep it as a souvenir.]
Throwing the stone into his backpack, Wei Lai lowered his head and his face turned red instantly.
"Alright, alright, I'll clean the rest myself. Just go wait for me somewhere."
His upper body was wiped dry, but his underwear was still wet. The underwear stuck to his skin, leaving marks in places that shouldn't be seen.
He snatched the towel from Xiaoting's hand, quickly covered his lower body with it, and urged her to leave quickly.
"Okay."
Qingting covered her mouth and chuckled, stopped teasing Wei Lai, turned around and walked in the direction she came from.
After a while.
After changing out of my soaked underwear and putting on dry clothes, I felt relieved that Wei Lai hadn't come.
He followed the footsteps they had made on their way here, through the bamboo forest and trees.
The midday sun is shining brightly in the sky.
Qingting sat on the base of the stone statue with the backpack she brought at her feet.
There were two transparent lunch boxes on the backpack, half of which was filled with the tempting osmanthus eight-treasure rice, and the other half was filled with glutinous rice balls wrapped with grains of snow-white glutinous rice.
“They’re all sweet.”
Putting down his backpack, Wei Lai sat on it, picked up a lunch box, smelled it, and raised his eyebrows.
It’s not that he doesn’t eat sweets at all, but he always feels something is weird if he eats only sweets for lunch.
"I've already taken your meal money, why are you still making such a fuss?" Qingting also picked up a lunch box and patted the base next to her, "Come over and help me with this."
