Time passed by minute by minute, and Liu Xinyan raised her wrist to check the time.
It's already four forty.
The expectation in her eyes dimmed a little.
Ouyang Ruofei would be so obsessed with work that he would forget to eat and sleep. This was not the first time he had broken an appointment.
Liu Xinyan also understood in her heart that he probably wouldn't come.
She stood up and walked towards the ticket booth, bought a ticket and boarded the boat by herself.
I slowly rowed the boat to the center of the lake and looked up at the surrounding scenery. It was completely different from when I was a child.
It's no longer the same feeling as when I was a kid.
The gentle spring breeze pushed the boat forward slowly. Liu Xinyan sat on the boat and watched the family of three playing across the way.
The little girl, who was about eight or nine years old, wanted to grab the oar from her father and row the boat by herself. Her father was afraid that she would fall, so he held her in his arms, held her hand and taught her how to row step by step.
The mother hugged another smaller child and looked at her husband and daughter with tenderness.
This scene...
It slowly overlapped with a scene from Liu Xinyan’s childhood memory.
At that time, Liu Jianyong also held her in his arms and taught her how to row a boat, and her mother was looking at him tenderly from the opposite side.
But later, they went on a mission together.
Neither her mother, a war correspondent, nor her heroic father came.
He left her no words but a fiancé.
Liu Xinyan felt a chill under her feet and came back to her senses from her memories.
When she looked down, she saw that the boat was already filled with a lot of water, which even wet her shoes.
She retracted her feet in panic, and the boat shook with her movement, which scared her and made her scream.
"It's leaking. Why is it leaking?"
"Someone come, this boat is leaking~"
Liu Xinyan shouted towards the shore in panic, but her boat had already reached the center of the lake. The sound of the wind and the laughter around her drowned out her cries for help, and no one paid attention to her.
Liu Xinyan can't swim and she was so scared. If the boat sank, would she drown?
"Help! Help! The boat is taking on water!"
She stepped down her retracted feet and held the oars. "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little leak, I can row fast."
She didn't know if she was too panicked or what, but she kept spinning in the same place, and the water in the boat was almost covering her feet.
Liu Xinyan became more and more panicked. She took off the red scarf around her neck and sat on the bow, shaking her arms. "Is anyone here? The boat is taking on water! The boat is taking on water~"
The two security guards who were chatting on the shore finally noticed, "What's that female comrade doing?"
When they saw the big number 11 painted in white on the boat, one of them jumped over the steps and rowed the boat away.
"Fuck! Who put boat number 11 down? The boat is leaking and Engineer Liu hasn't had time to fix it yet."
Another security guard was dumbfounded. "Water seepage? No one told me. She picked it herself, saying it was clean, and asked me to push it down."
When Liu Xinyan was taken to shore by the safety officer, her legs were weak.
The two security guards kept apologizing to her, "Comrade, we are so sorry, so sorry, it's all our fault."
"Yes, yes, it was our mistake. I didn't do my job well."
The staff in the ticket office also came out. After understanding the situation, they severely criticized the two security guards in front of Liu Xinyan.
