Chen Bing chuckled and didn't continue.
Just then, he saw many people flying kites on the lawn in the distance. Looking around, he spotted a small shop selling kites.
Chen Bing, whose interest was immediately piqued, pointed to the small shop and then asked Shang Yunmiao, "How about it, do you want to fly a kite?"
The wind was just right, and the sky, apart from a few large clouds, was a clear, bright blue. Undoubtedly, this was a perfect time for flying kites.
Without hesitation, Shang Yunmiao nodded, indicating that she wanted to fly it. So, Chen Bing took her to buy a panda-shaped kite.
Originally, Chen Bing preferred a centipede design, but Shang Yunmiao didn't seem to like it, so she had to give up on it.
Carrying their newly bought kite, the two went to the lawn.
Out of gentlemanly courtesy, Chen Bing handed the coil to Shang Yunmiao, then grabbed the panda's two ears and began running against the wind.
The sight of the boy running with all his might instantly brought Shang Yunmiao's thoughts back to the depths of her memory. She couldn't remember when it was, only that she was very young, one afternoon when Chen Bing's family had just moved in, and Chen Bing had taken her outside to fly a kite.
Back then, I held the coil while he ran with the kite.
After further investigation into the specific circumstances and details, Shang Yunmiao recalled how frightened she had been at the time.
Her face flushed red from this embarrassing past, but she quickly regained her composure and encouraged herself. The young woman thought to herself, "I'm not that timid little girl anymore."
With her resolve strengthened, her grip on the string tightened. But after watching the kite soar higher and higher, she hesitantly decided to reel in the string a little.
"Why is it flying so low? Don't you know how to fly it?" Just then, Chen Bing, who had just launched the kite, came to her side and stared at the panda that had only flown seven or eight meters high with a puzzled look. "It's more fun when the kite flies higher."
"Huh? Oh, oh! Okay. I, I know..."
For some reason, Shang Yunmiao had been afraid of kites that flew very high since she was very young, especially kites that flew very high in her own hands. She couldn't explain why she was afraid of being carried into the sky by a kite.
Although she was very scared, since Chen Bing was urging her, she had no choice but to muster up her courage and fly the kite a little higher (about one meter).
It was clear to the naked eye that the doubt in Chen Bing's eyes had deepened.
Not wanting him to discover that she was actually quite timid, Shang Yunmiao had a sudden idea and suggested, "Chen Bing, let's release it together. You come behind me and hug me."
Chen Bing had no reason to refuse such a perk, so he happily went around behind Shang Yunmiao and then half-embraced the girl and her kite into his arms.
Feeling the warm breath coming from behind her, Shang Yunmiao felt much more at ease. She thought to herself that she and Chen Bing together weighed about 200 pounds, and even if this little kite flew very high, it shouldn't be able to take her away.
With that in mind, and with Chen Bing guiding her step by step, she flew the kite higher and higher until she had used up all the string.
Seeing the kite fly so high and so far, Shang Yunmiao felt a sense of satisfaction.
Time flies, but the wind blows swiftly.
As the breeze swept across the lawn for what seemed like the umpteenth time, creating ripples of green, it was nearly seven o'clock.
The sky began to darken, and the weak sunlight slanted weakly onto the pedestrians. After demonstrating his kite-flying skills to the girl once again and receiving her praise once more, Chen Bing felt a sense of satisfaction despite his exhaustion.
For a brief moment, when the wind died down, the kite lost its ability to fly.
After reeling in the line little by little, the kite-flying game, which lasted for more than an hour, came to an end.
After casually handing the kite to a child she liked and hearing the child wish her and Xiao Shang a long and happy marriage and many children, Chen Bing left the park with a smile, despite Shang Yunmiao's shy little fist.
It's getting late. Considering the hour-long drive home, if we want to get home before 10 PM, Shang Yunmiao and I will have about two more hours to play.
As originally planned, Chen Bing's final destination was the food street near the south gate of Wenzhou Medical University.
When Chen Bing arrived at their destination with her classmate Xiao Shang, they found it wasn't as lively as they had imagined. After asking a vendor selling grilled gluten, they learned that the place wouldn't get lively until after 8 PM, which was still more than half an hour away.
Ugh, so late! What's wrong with college students these days? Are they night owls? Can't they come out and have fun earlier? It's already 7 pm!
I've done my research, and I know that most of your first and second-year students will start school this Monday, so hurry up and come out and have some fun!
Although they miscalculated due to the naive and foolish college students, Chen Bing was pleasantly surprised to find another place for them to visit before the night market started: Wenzhou Medical University itself.
Thanks to the fact that the first wave of the epidemic has passed, Shandong Province, and even the whole of China, has been relatively peaceful so far. In addition, today is Friday, so to Chen Bing's surprise, he can freely enter and exit this university.
Chen Bing noticed this from the casual way passersby entered and exited the school, and he immediately took Shang Yunmiao inside for a stroll.
Upon entering, Shang Yunmiao's face was filled with curiosity. Strictly speaking, this was her first time entering university, having grown up in a small town.
In the mind of a young Shang Yunmiao, the older brothers and sisters in university must all be knowledgeable and cultured. They not only knew a lot of knowledge, but were also diligent, hardworking, and eager to learn.
Now that she's grown up, she no longer thinks so exaggeratedly, which is contrary to dialectics, but she still feels that university is university after all, and compared to primary and secondary school, it is definitely bigger.
Then, in the next half hour, Shang Yunmiao gained a profound understanding of the "greatness" of the university and where that greatness lay.
Firstly, the campus is very large, often covering one or two thousand acres.
Secondly, she is very tall. Young people in Shandong Province are often over 1.75 meters tall, so she looks like a tiny radish in the crowd.
Thirdly, they are very bold. The older brothers and sisters who set up stalls on the playground are very... uh... bold in attracting customers.
Fourthly, they have huge appetites. On the food street on campus, she saw many people carrying large bags of lunch boxes, snacks, and small eats, while in stark contrast, they were holding only a thin textbook in their other hand.
