Chapter 189 The Night is Gentle
The summer is hot, but after the sun sets, the temperature gradually drops.
The mountain breeze suddenly blew, the leaves rustled, the cool feeling spread little by little, and the water on the lake rippled with layer upon layer of gentle waves.
After the car stopped, Su Lingyu saw a simple wooden platform of several square meters by the lake.
She turned around and asked Huo Yan: "Did you build the wooden platform too?"
Huo Yan nodded: "Yes."
If he put the tent directly on the ground, the ground would be too damp and it would be uncomfortable to sleep. He was afraid that the little ancestor would be unhappy, so he made preparations early.
Not only the wooden platform, but also the mosquitoes, snakes and ants nearby were cleaned by him several times.
"Reward!" Su Lingyu smiled brilliantly, held up the man's handsome face and kissed him on the lips.
After getting off the car, Huo Yan first set up the tent on the wooden platform, sprinkled some insect and snake repellent powder around it, and then began to pick up dry firewood to prepare for the bonfire in the evening.
Su Lingyu didn't have to do anything and just sat leisurely on the edge of the wooden platform.
Feeling the cool breeze, I occasionally admired the muscular man who took off his shirt and was only wearing a white tank top. It was nice to just watch him busy.
Huo Yan moved skillfully and quickly lit the bonfire. He then grilled the marinated chickens and rabbits over the fire, brushing them with oil or sprinkling some seasoning on them from time to time. The aroma gradually became richer.
Su Lingyu chatted with Huo Yan from time to time, and when she got bored, she went to chat with System Eater.
[Xiao Tongzi, is there anything interesting? Come on, come on! ]
The system responded within one second: [Good job, host! ]
[Let me see! Well, let’s start with the people we know… Huo, well, Huo Xiang, she just got beaten up again!]
Huo Yan, who was grilling meat, paused for a moment and then relaxed.
Su Lingyu asked curiously: [What's going on? ]
The system chuckled a few times, its voice full of happiness and joy: [Final exams are coming up soon. In order to improve scores, Huoxiang School organizes a small test every week to keep students prepared.]
[Today, when Huo Xiang came home from school, a neighbor asked her how she did on the exam. She replied, "I wrote all of them." But the neighbor didn't understand her expression and continued to ask, "My son said he did very well, but probably not as well as you." Huo Xiang laughed and said, "That depends on you." ]
Su Lingyu asked: [Why are you looking at that person? ]
The system said: [Yes, that person also asked, "What does it have to do with me?", but Huo Xiang replied in a sarcastic tone, "Yes, what does it have to do with you?", and then she was beaten by Chen Yuxiang, ha ha ha!]
Su Lingyu: [Hahaha! ]
Why did she also want to beat up that girl Huo Xiang?
Owe.
No, well done!
The system said again: [And Chen Zhou, I didn’t expect that he is also a funny person! ]
Su Lingyu was attracted: [Well, tell me in detail. ]
The system said: [Didn’t you take the train to Lake City that time? When you went through security, you all left, but Chen Zhou, who was walking at the end, was stopped. Did you know about this?]
Su Lingyu shook her head: [I didn't notice. What happened? ]
The system chuckled a few times and said cheerfully: [The security personnel felt that there was something wrong with Chen Zhou's shoes and asked him to take them off for inspection. As a result, he was reluctant to take them off, so he was completely targeted.]
[Seeing you were walking away, he had no choice but to take it off, but after taking it off, he clamped his toes tightly, which made people more suspicious. The security officer asked sternly, "Comrade, what are you clamping your toes with?" Chen Zhou answered more seriously, "My dignity!"]
Su Lingyu guessed something and asked with a smile: [What dignity? ]
The system's baby voice laughed wildly: [His socks have three holes in them! I don't know who is more miserable, him or the socks that have two or three holes in them, haha!]
Su Lingyu burst out laughing: [It’s all bad! ]
She smiled and leaned on Huo Yan's shoulder. Huo Yan raised his hand to rub her head, then lowered his head to kiss her forehead, his eyes full of smiles.
The atmosphere was relaxed and time passed quickly.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Su Lingyu and Huo Yan set out from the capital. They drove for about two hours to get here, set up a tent, and roasted rabbits and chickens...
Unconsciously, time passed and the sky darkened.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the night is gentle.
There was not only a jumping bonfire but also a military-quality emergency light to illuminate the night.
Su Lingyu felt that the fire was too hot, so she sat down on the wooden platform to rest.
Huo Yan cut the roasted meat into slices, put them on a plate and placed them in front of her. Fearing that she would get a sore throat from eating too much, he also poured her a cup of cold tea.
The aroma of barbecue filled her nose. Su Lingyu ate a piece and gave Huo Yan a thumbs up happily: "It's really good. I didn't expect you to have such a skill!"
"As long as you like it, I'll do it for you often in the future."
"Um!"
"There's a surprise for you, close your eyes first."
"Surprise?" Su Lingyu's smile became even sweeter. She covered her eyes with her hands to show that she would never peek. "I'm ready. Hurry up."
"Okay." Huo Yan laughed softly.
Su Lingyu was waiting.
There was a rustling sound, and then the man's deep and pleasant voice sounded again: "Okay."
