Chapter 268: River Cruise
After Zhou Bingyan’s direct confession, it would be a lie for Fan Xue to say she wasn’t moved.
But she wanted to treat this matter seriously, after all, it was a matter of life and death.
Fan Xue raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Bingyan: "Can I think about it?"
"Of course."
Zhou Bingyan handed his business card to Fan Xue: "My phone number is on it. Contact me when you've made up your mind."
Fan Xue: "I will let you know when I consider the result."
Zhou Bingyan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
"Do you have to go back to work in the afternoon?" Fan Xue asked Zhou Bingyan.
Zhou Bingyan: "No, I asked for leave to rest today, but the hospital just called me back because of something urgent."
"How about I accompany you guys this afternoon? Let's go take a boat ride on the river. I know a fisherman's house on the river that has some delicious food."
"Do you still like eating fish?"
Fan Xue nodded: "Love."
"So do you want to go?" Zhou Bingyan did not say that he had already contacted the boat in advance, but asked Fan Xue about her idea first.
Fan Xue answered readily: "Yes!"
"Okay, let's go."
Seeing that Fan Xue had finished her dessert, Zhou Bingyan stood up.
Fan Xue looked out the window: "But Siyang and Zhiqiu haven't come back yet."
"They are nearby. If we go out, we should be able to see them. If not, we can find them soon if we look around nearby."
Zhou Bingyan knew Han Siyang, and she didn't know where the cat was watching their movements.
"It's a bit far, I can't see what they are talking about."
As Zhou Bingyan expected, Han Siyang said that she was walking around with Ye Zhiqiu, but after she went out, she found a big tree and hid there to peek at the progress of Zhou Bingyan and Fan Xue.
Ye Zhiqiu was helpless and could only stand aside and accept the strange looks from passers-by.
"Hey, the two of them stood up and are about to leave."
Han Siyang stood up, looked back, and stepped forward to hold Ye Zhiqiu's hand: "Zhiqiu, let's go back quickly."
"Look, there are two of them."
Zhou Bingyan and Fan Xue left the restaurant. Zhou Bingyan raised his chin in the direction of Han Siyang, and Fan Xue saw Han Siyang and Ye Zhiqiu running towards them.
"Fat Zhou said he would take us on a cruise on the river." Fan Xue was very excited.
Although she hadn't seen Zhou Bingyan for many years, he said he liked her as soon as they met. She did feel a little uncomfortable at first.
But his directness and sincerity gradually made her feel like she was back to the time when they played together as children, and it was very comfortable and relaxed.
But she had never been like this when facing Han Li. She was always cautious and would go over every word she said several times, for fear that she would say something wrong and make him dislike her.
But even so, he was still not satisfied with her and always lectured her about everything.
During these days, she often thought of that time. She didn't know what had possessed her to make her so humble.
Just thinking back on it makes me feel particularly wronged.
While Fan Xue was not paying attention, Han Siyang winked at Zhou Bingyan and gave him a thumbs up.
No wonder he has always been dissatisfied with this and that, it turns out that he really has someone in his heart.
She also asked why he agreed so readily when she asked him to introduce him to a girlfriend, whereas before, when his family asked him to go on a blind date, he had to persuade them for a long time.
Zhou Bingyan avoided Han Siyang's gaze and turned his face away, allowing Han Siyang to see his slightly red ears.
Han Siyang tried hard to hold back her laughter. She was very happy to see Zhou Bingyan and Fan Xue getting along so well.
That proves that Fan Xue will become her cousin's wife in the near future.
If Ye Zhiqiu hadn't gotten married early, she would have wanted to introduce Zhou Bingyan to Ye Zhiqiu. Fortunately, she didn't match them up randomly.
They came to the riverside, and Zhou Bingyan took them on the boat. Fan Xue and Ye Zhiqiu didn't know the situation, but Han Siyang knew it, and couldn't help but teasing: "Second cousin, you planned this and even booked the boat in advance."
Han Siyang pointed to a large passenger ship not far away and explained to Fan Xue: "Small boats like this need to be booked in advance, but boats like that don't need to be booked in advance."
Fan Xue looked at Zhou Bingyan, who coughed twice to hide his embarrassment: "That kind of large passenger ship is not free."
Although their boat was not big, the cabin was very clean and tidy, and there were fruits prepared. I guess this was Zhou Bingyan's instruction.
The boat sailed slowly on the river so that Fan Xue, Ye Zhiqiu and others could see the scenery on both sides of the river.
After leaving the city, the scenery became even better. Fan Xue left the cabin and stood at the bow, wanting to recite the poems of the Immortal Poet.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was filled with Jiang Feng.
Fan Xue quickly pulled her windbreaker together and turned up her collar.
Zhou Bingyan followed out and took off his cashmere scarf from his neck and put it around Fan Xue.
It was indeed very cold, and Fan Xue did not act pretentiously. She buried most of her face, leaving only her big eyes exposed.
The scent of laundry detergent mixed with the smell of Zhou Bingyan's body filled my nostrils, which was unexpectedly pleasant.
"This wind is stronger than the northwest wind in Beijing in winter!"
The wind from the north feels like an ice knife on the face, while the river breeze carries a strong sense of moisture.
Fan Xue originally wanted to act like an artistic young woman, but Jiang Feng blew all her romantic thoughts away.
I couldn't stand it anymore and hurried back to the cabin.
Han Siyang and Ye Zhiqiu were sitting together, eating oranges.
"Zhiqiu, what did I say? She will definitely be back soon."
Han Siyang handed the peeled orange to Fan Xue, who took it, broke it in half, and put one half directly into her mouth: "You know this now?"
"Of course not!"
Han Siyang raised his chin towards Fan Xue and said, "Xue'er, your scarf looks pretty good."
"Right, second cousin?"
She teased the two people, causing Zhou Bingyan and Fan Xue to blush. Fan Xue gently pushed Han Siyang and said, "Stop it."
"Okay, okay." Han Siyang stopped talking.
Next, he acted as a tour guide and introduced the surrounding scenery and customs to Fan Xue and Ye Zhiqiu.
Occasionally Zhou Bingyan would interrupt and add a few words.
It took them more than two hours to reach the fisherman's restaurant that Zhou Bingyan mentioned.
There is no sign, just an ordinary small fishing boat.
After getting on the boat, the boss showed them what he had just caught that day and let them choose.
Zhou Bingyan selected each of them, and then the proprietress was responsible for making them.
Ye Zhiqiu and Fan Xue both grew up in the north and rarely had this kind of smuggled food.
Fan Xue couldn't forget the squirrel mandarin fish she had once eaten in a restaurant, but usually she could only eat braised carp, crucian carp soup, etc.
At most, I would occasionally eat shrimp, crabs and snails.
Ye Zhiqiu also likes to eat it, but she doesn’t have any requirements, as long as it’s not bad.
If there is no special situation, such as needing to reduce weight to a certain standard in a short period of time, she will not go on a diet, she will just chew slowly when eating.
"Mmm, smells good~"
