Zhu Wei and I chatted and laughed all the way downstairs. I quickly took out my cell phone and sent a message to Lin Mengxi.
"I'll wait for you downstairs."
After waiting for about half an hour, I saw Lin Mengxi and Xu Qian walking out of the dormitory building hand in hand.
Both of them were wearing black dresses. The style of the dresses was simple yet elegant, which set off their figures perfectly. Standing there, they were like two beautiful landscapes.
“It’s so beautiful!”
After hearing this, Lin Mengxi raised her hand and hit me lightly, saying angrily, "You're the only one who can say that."
I turned to look at Xu Qian, then pointed at Zhu Wei and jokingly said, "You two are making such rapid progress?"
Xu Qian was quite generous, with a smile on her face, and replied nonchalantly, "We just went out to play for a while during the day. Unlike some people, they didn't even go back to the dormitory last night."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wei quickly echoed, "That's right, we are naive."
Lin Mengxi's face suddenly turned redder. Seeing this, I quickly explained, "We don't have anything for now."
Zhu Wei came over and said in a long, sarcastic tone, "Oh...for now."
The four of us walked together, along the tree-lined path of the campus, chatting lively as we walked.
"Today, I'm relying entirely on you to lead the way. You're an expert on the area."
Zhu Wei puffed out his chest, his face full of pride: "Of course, follow me, and I guarantee you'll visit all the fun and delicious places in this city without missing a single one."
While standing on the side of the road waiting for a taxi, Lin Mengxi gently tugged at the corner of my clothes and whispered, "What are we going to eat later? I'm starving."
I slapped my head. I'm a grown man, but I don't eat breakfast often. I felt a little sorry for the little girl and was about to speak.
Zhu Wei quickly answered, "Don't worry, sister, let's go have an authentic breakfast first. There's an old shop. The buns and rice porridge there are very delicious."
After getting in the car, Xu Qian asked, "Ah Wei, are there any new and interesting places? Just eating is not enough."
"There are so many new and interesting places. After breakfast, I'll take you to a small cultural and creative park. It's very artistic and perfect for taking photos."
Arrived at the breakfast shop.
"Give me four baskets of our signature soup dumplings, four bowls of savory porridge, and a side dish."
The food was served steaming hot and smelled delicious.
I took a bite of the bun and gave it a thumbs up: "Mm, it tastes really good."
Zhu Wei laughed and joked, "Of course not. I've been eating at this restaurant since I was a child. I can find it even with my eyes closed."
After breakfast, we took a taxi straight to the Cultural and Creative Park.
After entering the park, Lin Mengxi's eyes lit up and she pulled me around to take pictures.
"Station on the left, yes, smile."
Xu Qian would occasionally tease him: "Wow, Lin Yu, you must have practiced taking photos."
"I did a lot of research to hang out with my daughter Mengxi. I'm not like some people who just talk big."
When Xu Qian heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered some big gossip, and she excitedly shouted, "Oh, your Meng Xi, that's quite an intimate name."
Lin Mengxi was striking an elegant pose, concentrating on taking photos. Upon hearing Xu Qian's words, she turned her head with a sweet smile and said, "Not yet. He's just talking nonsense here, don't listen to him."
Zhu Wei raised his eyebrows, his face full of confidence, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I think it will happen sooner or later."
"Xu Qian, let's go over there and take a look. Don't be a light bulb here. Give the young couple some space to be alone."
Xu Qian listened, nodded in understanding, and replied with a smile on her face: "Okay, let's go."
As soon as they left, I shrugged helplessly at Lin Mengxi and joked, "I think we look like the third wheel." As I was speaking, Lin Mengxi walked over with light steps, reached out to take the phone from my hand, and started looking through the photos I had just taken.
As she watched, she nodded constantly and praised, "Wow, Xiao Mu, you took a really good picture. This angle is quite touching."
I was about to say something modest when she suddenly came over and kissed me lightly on the cheek. The soft touch made me stunned for a moment. I only heard her smile and say, "This is a reward for you. Keep up the good work."
After she kissed me, her face turned red, just like the sunset in the sky, and then she trotted forward quickly, looking as if she was extremely shy.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile and quickly chased after him.
After a while, we came to a beautiful sea of flowers. Flowers of various colors were blooming. When the breeze blew, the sea of flowers rippled with layers of colorful ripples, which was beautiful beyond words.
When Lin Mengxi saw the sea of flowers, her eyes lit up and she excitedly shouted to me, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's so beautiful here, take a picture for me."
I responded immediately, quickly took out my cell phone from my pocket, found the right angle towards her, and with a few clicks, I captured her smiling face in the sea of flowers.
She looked at the photos I took, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Come, let's take some photos together. It's such a beautiful place, we have to keep some memories of us together."
I nodded quickly, walked quickly to her side, adjusted the position of the phone, and we leaned against each other with happy smiles on our faces. I pressed the shutter button one after another and took many photos.
When taking pictures, she hugged me extra tightly. That intimate look filled my heart with sweetness, as if all the beauty in the world was gathered in this moment.
Afterwards, Mengxi and I held hands and walked slowly in this gorgeous sea of flowers. Her face was always filled with a happy and joyful smile.
As we walked, she seemed to be lost in a beautiful dream. She tilted her head and looked at me, her eyes full of expectation. She said, "What do you think? After we get married, can we plant flowers and plants all over our big yard? It would be so beautiful."
"I don't have a yard at home, so this might not be easy to achieve."
"If there's no yard, then we can build one later. Let's work together. If nothing works, we can ask my dad for money. After all, there are always more solutions than problems."
"That won't work."
"I don't care anyway. I just want a big yard full of all kinds of flowers. I love red roses and yellow sunflowers so much. I'm so happy when I think about a yard full of them."
Seeing her longing and persistence, my heart was filled with doting, and I quickly smiled and promised: "Okay, okay, I will definitely work hard to build you a big yard like this as soon as possible, so that you can plant your favorite flowers, okay?"
Mengxi nodded with satisfaction, held my arm tightly again, and continued to stroll in this sea of flowers.
Then I saw a rather secluded place.
The place was half-hidden by the lush flowers around it, and it was easy to miss it if you didn't look carefully.
"Look, look, over there!"
