Chapter 340 Chinese Valentine's Day (10)
The summer breeze was not very cool. Although it was late, there were villagers sitting in their doorways along the way to enjoy the cool air.
Lin Zhou and Tian Xin walked side by side to the edge of the wheat field. She was still holding the bouquet of flowers that Lin Zhou had just given her, a bouquet of golden sunflowers in full bloom.
"Why are you here?"
She didn't look at him, but stared blankly at the sunflower in her hand.
Lin Zhou was a little embarrassed. He had just been teased by everyone at the table, and his face was still red. Seeing that Tian Xin didn't dare to look up at him, he thought she was shy, so he mustered up the courage to reach out and hold her face, lifting her head.
Their eyes met.
"What?"
"I miss you!"
in unison!
Tian Xin was stunned and her heart skipped a beat.
"It's so late, if you come here, the villagers will gossip!" She turned her head and avoided his gaze.
"I want to... take you somewhere!" Lin Zhou said.
Then he held her face up, his eyes moving with tenderness.
"It's too late today, I...I'm a little tired!"
She reached out and pushed away his hand that was holding her face, turned around and walked back: "You go back first, I want to rest for a few days. I'll call you when I'm free in a few days!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhou suddenly became anxious. He took two steps to catch up with her and stood in front of her: "Are you still angry? Is it because I didn't go to Yiwu? Or..."
"Don't guess," she interrupted him helplessly: "I'm not angry, I'm just tired, really!"
Judging from her appearance, she seemed very tired.
That’s all!
No matter how much he missed her, he couldn't bear to embarrass her at this time.
After struggling for a long time, he sighed and let go of her hand.
Some sighed with regret: "Today... is Qixi Festival!"
"I know!"
"This is... our first Valentine's Day together!"
“…”
Tian Xin was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Yes, the first Valentine's Day!
I've been busy for so long that I actually forgot!
Glancing down at the sunflower in her hand, she felt a little soft-hearted and asked him hesitantly, "Then... where do you want to take me?"
"Huh?" Lin Zhou was stunned. "Where are we going?"
"Didn't you say that? You wanted to take me somewhere?"
"Oh... that... that..." Perhaps because he was too excited, he couldn't remember the purpose of his visit today. After stuttering for a long time with his hands covering his forehead, he finally remembered: "Oh, that's it, there's a lantern festival in the city tonight, it's quite beautiful, I think..."
"Let's go!" She turned and left.
"ah?"
"I'm going to go back and change my clothes first," Tian Xin said, "It's so late, I have to tell my family."
Her face still had the same expression as before, showing no emotion, but a calm expression. After saying this, she turned and walked towards the main road.
He quickly drove after him.
The Chinese Valentine's Day in previous years was actually not very lively.
This year, due to the website's promotion, many businesses took advantage of the situation and launched many couple-themed projects. Food, drinks and entertainment were all labeled with the Qixi Festival label, which really hyped up this day.
As they drove into the city, they were struck by the sheer number of people on the streets. The Lantern Festival was located in the heart of the city, accessible from all four directions. Traffic was heavy, and couples lined the sidewalks, all heading towards the "Lantern Festival."
Tian Xin was indeed very tired and fell asleep as soon as she got in the car. Lin Zhou was not in a hurry. Even though there was a traffic jam ahead, he was reluctant to honk the horn to wake her up. He drove at a snail's pace of 20 mph all the way.
When she woke up, the two of them had already arrived and their car was parked at the entrance of the Lantern Festival.
"woke up?"
She yawned and replied lightly: "Yeah!"
"What time is it?"
Lin Zhou didn't answer. He reached out and touched her head, and said softly, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"No, now that I'm here, hurry up..." She took out her phone and checked the time. She gasped and sat up in shock: "Why didn't you call me? It's so late!"
The time has already reached 9 o'clock. According to past practice, she must be home before 10 o'clock to avoid Li Aiying worrying.
Perhaps noticing this, Lin Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already asked Auntie for leave! It won't be too late."
"oh!"
He was still as meticulous as usual.
Tian Xin was stunned for a second, then turned around and got out of the car.
The streets were bustling with activity. Even at this hour, many couples were still queuing for their tickets at the entrance of the Lantern Festival.
Lin Zhou quickly caught up with her and pulled her straight inside.
"Don't we need to buy tickets? How come we can just walk in like that?" she asked puzzledly.
Lin Zhou smiled at her and said, "Don't worry about this, it's a waste of time! Let's go!"
The two followed the crowd and walked forward, seeing all kinds of cartoon lanterns everywhere. Unlike the large lanterns of the Lantern Festival, the lanterns of the Qixi Festival are a "sea of flowers" made of pieces of colorful lights.
The two held hands and looked at the "sea of roses", "sea of lilies", and "sea of tulips", and finally arrived at the center of the scenic area.
A "Magpie Bridge" surrounded by a "sea of sunflowers" appeared in front of the two. The bridge was an antique arch bridge with dozens of "magpies" made of colorful lights on it, surrounding the "Cowherd and Weaver Girl".
“I didn’t expect there to be such a romantic place in the city!”
Tian Xin stood under the bridge, looking at the twinkling lights above, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you want to go up and take a look?" Lin Zhou walked up to her, took her hand and asked.
"Of course! Since we're here!"
She started walking, sighing as she went: "People nowadays really know how to do business!"
"Oh, what do you mean?" Lin Zhou asked.
"Look," she pointed at the "sea of flowers" below. "This whole area, to put it bluntly, is all colored lights. Arranging it like this sea of flowers looks stunning, but the cost is actually quite low. Judging by the number of people who have come in so far, I estimate that the return on investment for this attraction will at least double tonight."
"Really? You can even see that?" Lin Zhou pretended to be surprised.
"Are you surprised?" She smiled.
"Oh, that's not the case!" Lin Zhou also smiled at her: "Do you like it?"
"What?"
"here!"
"ah?"
"I mean, here!" Lin Zhou pointed around: "Do you like it?"
"Of course, just for the creativity, I have to give this place a 10. The person who can design such an attraction and make a fortune from the festival is quite amazing!"
There was genuine admiration in her eyes that didn't look like a compliment.
Lin Zhou smiled faintly: "Really?"
"Well, if there's a chance, I really want to meet you!"
"I'm glad you like it," Lin Zhou said. "To receive such high praise from you, all his efforts are well worth it!"
As he spoke, he suddenly turned to face Tian Xin, his eyes full of tenderness. The next second, countless fireworks soared into the sky, illuminating a burst of white light. The light was brilliant and dazzling, instantly illuminating the faces of both of them.
