As they chatted, it became quite late. In the end, Chen Yao and Chi Ye didn't actually walk very far around the lake.
"Let's go back, it's getting late." Chen Yao said after looking at her phone.
"Well, let's go." Chi Ye also glanced at the time.
When they returned to the B&B, Chen Yao and Chi Ye were surprised to see that their grandmother had not slept yet and was sitting on the sofa wearing reading glasses and reading something. When they walked closer, they found that she was sorting some bills.
"Grandma, we're back."
"Hey, are you guys going out?" Grandma Chi looked up and asked.
"Well, I walked by the lake for a while." Chi Ye said.
Grandma Chi originally thought that they had already rested upstairs, but she didn't expect that they had actually gone out.
"It's by the lake. There are a lot of mosquitoes there at night. Did you spray mosquito repellent before you went out?"
As she spoke, she looked at them all to see if there were any mosquito bites.
"No." Chi Ye said.
He usually just ran around the lake and didn't care much about this, so he didn't pay attention to it.
"Grandma, I didn't spray either." Chen Yao said.
"Wait, I'll get a bottle for you all now. If you go out at night, remember to spray mosquito repellent first so that you won't be bitten by mosquitoes easily. The mosquitoes here are quite poisonous, and the bites will cause itchy swellings," said Grandma Chi, putting down the receipt in her hand, getting up from the sofa, and going to the counter to get mosquito repellent for them.
"Okay, thank you grandma." Chen Yao said.
"It's okay, you're welcome." Grandma Chi came over with two small bottles of mosquito repellent and two small jars of ointment, gave them one each, and reminded them: "If you get bitten anywhere, apply this ointment, it will heal faster."
Chen Yao: "Okay."
Chi Ye: “Yeah.”
Grandma Chi: "It's getting late, everyone should go to bed early. I'm going to bed too."
Chen Yao: "Good night, grandma."
Chi Ye: "I locked the gate of the yard when I came back just now. You don't need to go over and check it again."
Grandma Chi smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Okay, I understand. You guys go upstairs quickly."
Chen Yao and Chi Ye both responded before heading upstairs.
When they were about to reach the second floor, Chen Yao said to Chi Ye: "Thank you for tonight."
Chi Ye: "It's okay."
Arriving at the second floor, Chen Yao said, "Well, good night."
Chi Ye: "Wait a moment."
Chen Yao raised her eyes.
Chi Ye: "The rear-end collision incident is over. You don't have to take it to heart anymore."
......
After returning upstairs, Chen Yao simply washed up and lay down.
However, she deliberately did not draw the curtains in the room and left them open.
Because she found that if she did this, she could still see the stars in the night sky through the window after turning off the lights. There were so many of them and they were so beautiful.
The scenery here is really nice. Maybe because it is far away from the city, even the sky is clearer.
Tomorrow, she will get up early and go out for a walk to see if she can find any new inspiration.
Speaking of inspiration, she couldn't help but think of Chi Ye's decisiveness in refusing to be a sketching model today.
Tsk...are you really that desperate to avoid it?
That's all.
…
the next day.
She woke up around seven o'clock.
Maybe it was because I didn’t draw the curtains last night, the morning sun shone in through the window, and once the room was bright, it was easy for people to wake up early.
After washing up, she went straight downstairs.
When he walked to the second floor, he ran into Chi Ye.
He was wearing a black quick-drying sports suit, his hair was slightly wet, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his neck was also sweating, sliding down along his Adam's apple.
The muscle lines and veins on his arms were clearly defined, and faintly warm.
This... looks like he just came back from a morning run.
"You got up so early?" Chi Ye took the initiative to ask.
"You're up pretty early too. Are you going out for a morning run?" Chen Yao asked.
"Um."
At this moment, grandma called out from downstairs: "Aye, do you want noodles or wontons?"
Chi Ye responded: "Grandma, I want to eat noodles."
Grandma Chi: "Okay, then I'll ask Aunt Fang to cook noodles for you. Come down and eat after you take a shower."
"good."
Chen Yao: "You go ahead, I'll go downstairs first."
Chi Ye nodded, turned around and walked towards his room.
…
downstairs.
When Grandma Chi saw that Chen Yao had woken up, she asked her what she wanted to eat. There were wontons and noodles. The wontons would be ready soon, but the noodles would have to wait a while.
"I'll have wontons, thank you grandma."
Grandma Chi said okay and went into the kitchen to talk to Aunt Fang.
When she came out again, Aunt Fang also came out and brought the prepared wontons to the dining table.
When Chi Ye went downstairs, Chen Yao and Grandma Chi were already halfway through their meal.
Grandma Chi: "Aunt Fang has already cooked the noodles, go in and get them yourself."
Chi Ye: "Okay."
When he came out after serving the noodles, he happened to hear his grandmother talking to Shen Yao about several other B&Bs nearby.
"There are some guests staying at those hotels, so during the day, the lake is busier. There are people having picnics, barbecuing outdoors, setting up tents, and even using drones..."
"But not many people go there at night. It's mostly during the day."
Chen Yao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a walk over to the lake later."
Grandma Chi emphasized: "Be sure to pay attention to safety."
