Chapter 255 Date
In order to eat, they left Jiao County for less than half an hour. Su Jiaojiao felt speechless and couldn't help asking him, "Where are we going?"
"We'll be there in half an hour." Lu Jingyou looked at her in the rearview mirror and said sternly, "You don't want to run into your relatives, right? If you stay away from Jiao County, you probably won't run into them."
"How can I have so many relatives?" Su Jiaojiao didn't understand why he said that. "I just don't want to eat at my cousin's restaurant. I said I was going on an international trip, and I didn't say I didn't want to run into my relatives."
It wasn't because she was having dinner with Lu Jingyou that she didn't want to eat at Chen Jiang's restaurant. Even if she invited Chen Xiaohong, Cai Ting and others, they would not go to Chen Jiang's restaurant.
She didn't want Chen Guichang's family to think that she was taking advantage of them.
"You have nothing to worry about since you're with me. No matter how far, I promise to send you back today." Lu Jingyou turned on the music, "Listen to some music and relax. Don't be so tense. There's no end to making money. You see, I'm not in a hurry."
Su Jiaojiao didn't say anything else.
There are others who do what he doesn't do, so of course he is not in a hurry.
She wasn't in a hurry, she just didn't want to go through so much trouble for a meal.
When she arrived at her destination, Su Jiaojiao realized that she didn't know enough about her hometown. She didn't even know there was such a large ecological park at the junction of Jiao County and Qingyuan.
The West Coast Ecological Park is planted with various trees, flowers and plants, large red rose gardens and peony gardens, as well as large lotus ponds. Looking around, you can see a sea of flowers everywhere.
It is midsummer and the peony season has passed. Only the roses are blooming in full swing, gorgeous and affectionate.
There are many tourists.
Everywhere was filled with laughter and people taking photos.
"Although this ecological park is within the boundaries of your Jiao County, most of the people who come to eat here are from Qingyuan." Lu Jingyou had a camera hanging around his neck and snapped a few photos of her. "Let's go to the lotus pond to eat and then go shopping later."
"How did you know about this place?" Su Jiaojiao asked him. He had been traveling between the northwest and Guangzhou last year and was not in Qingyuan.
"Qi Heng recommended it. He's been here several times and said you can even ride horses here. He's a man who never compromises himself and is the best at eating, drinking and having fun. We're using his membership card." Lu Jingyou fiddled with his camera and pointed at a towering banyan tree on the side of the road. "Stand over there and I'll take a picture of you."
"I don't like taking pictures." Su Jiaojiao refused.
"Just take a picture. The photo of this tree turns out very well." Lu Jingyou had already adjusted the lens, so Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to stand over... He finished taking the picture before she was ready.
The lotus pond is even more lively, with red flowers and green leaves, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom, with a refreshing fragrance everywhere.
Dozens of tents are arranged around the lotus pond, and in front of each tent there is a stone barbecue table.
Lu Jingyou had received a number 16 at some point, and the two of them found the corresponding tent before sitting down to rest. The tent was covered with a mat, a small table, a fan, and ice cubes, making it cool and comfortable.
Soon, a staff member came over with a menu and asked the two to order. Su Jiaojiao ordered barbecue and handed the menu to Lu Jingyou: "You are a guest, order more."
After ordering the dishes, the barbecue grill in front of the tent was already lit. The young man in the blue floral work clothes started grilling, and the young woman was responsible for serving the dishes. The whole process was refreshing.
In this era, such creativity is amazing.
The grilled skewers were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tasted very good. The seasonal side dishes that Lu Jingyou ordered were light and refreshing.
There is also sweet wine given away by the park, which is said to be brewed with lotus flowers. It is icy and has a hint of lotus sweetness, just like a drink.
After the meal, Su Jiaojiao went to pay the bill, and the front desk clerk said that the membership card they used would be automatically deducted and there was no need to pay immediately.
Su Jiaojiao came back and told Lu Jingyou about this. Lu Jingyou said nonchalantly, "It's okay. Just deduct the money from Qi Heng's account and treat it as his treat."
"Isn't this bad?" Su Jiaojiao felt a little sorry.
"It's okay, it's just a meal. You can treat me next time." Lu Jingyou stood up and walked out of the tent, pointing to the small hill in front. "Since we're here, let's go ride the horses over there for a while before leaving. It's free for members."
"I don't know how to ride a horse." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to go. She was not interested in this kind of outdoor activities.
"I'm not very good at it either, I'm just trying it out." Lu Jingyou took the lead and walked in front, and Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to follow closely.
After changing into riding gear, the coach at the riding farm patiently explained the precautions, how to get on the horse and how to use the reins.
Su Jiaojiao was confused. Is it necessary to ride this horse?
What if she falls again?
Lu Jingyou rode his horse slowly to Su Jiaojiao and said to the horse racing coach, "No need to teach me, we can just take a leisurely ride."
"You can experience it by yourself. I don't need it." Su Jiaojiao was embarrassed to ride the same horse with him.
As soon as the coach saw Lu Jingyou's posture, he knew that he could ride. He didn't care about Su Jiaojiao and turned to teach others.
There weren't many people at the horse farm, only three or four. Mainly because it was too hot, everyone was resting and taking a nap in the tent after dinner and were reluctant to come over to ride horses.
"It's just a short ride, what are you afraid of?" Lu Jingyou dragged Su Jiaojiao onto the horse without hesitation. He held the reins with one hand and her waist with the other, and slowly strolled around the horse field. "Relax, don't be nervous, you won't fall."
The wind beside her ears was hot, and so was the wind behind her. Su Jiaojiao was held in his arms, feeling as awkward as she could be: "Let's go back. I don't want to ride anymore."
She had never been in such close contact with a man before, and her face became hot.
When did she become so close to him...
Lu Jingyou didn't force her and quickly returned to his original position. He jumped off the horse first and helped her down.
Only after landing did Su Jiaojiao breathe a sigh of relief and put her helmet and knee pads on the rack. She never wanted to ride a horse again.
As soon as they walked out of the horse farm, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves behind them. Before Su Jiaojiao could react, Lu Jingyou pulled her into his arms: "Be careful!"
A gust of wind blew past, and a chestnut horse neighed and ran out of the stable.
The horse ran away!
Everyone exclaimed.
The horse racing coach hurried out, ran up to the two of them, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Lu Jingyou didn't look at him. He lowered his head to look at the frightened little girl. He couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her forehead and said softly, "Let's go back!"
Su Jiaojiao: “…”
It wasn't until she got in the car that she realized belatedly that he had kissed her...
The two of them walked in silence.
When they got downstairs, Su Jiaojiao didn't even say hello to him. She opened the car door and ran back home as if escaping.
