Chapter 74
The woman wore a black ruffled dress adorned with irregularly shaped withered leaves. Her long, wavy hair was swept over her left shoulder, revealing her fair and beautiful neck and shoulders. Her face was all smiles, exuding a sexy yet playful charm.
She truly possesses a captivating charm.
It can be said that Xuan Lizhen is the most beautiful and elegant woman Xu Qingzhou has ever seen in real life.
However, her temperament is different from others. She possesses the mature and sexy charm of a woman, yet her expressions and speech retain the cuteness and innocence of a young girl. In addition, she exudes an indescribable and mysterious aura.
She makes you want to get close to her, yet you're afraid of offending her.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Xuanli smiled and waved at her.
Xu Qingzhou subconsciously smiled and raised his hand, but as he greeted her, he suddenly remembered that Xuan Li could smell the fox scent on him, so he reflexively took two steps back.
"That school promotional video from last time, I saw it went viral after it was uploaded, right?"
The man standing next to Xuanli spoke up.
Xu Qingzhou looked in the direction of the sound and realized that the person with Xuan Li was the red-haired man who had filmed the promotional video for them before.
It seems that after filming the promotional video, the red-haired man has been pursuing Xuan Li, otherwise the two of them wouldn't have come to Happy Valley together.
I just don't know whether he actually caught up with him or not.
Xu Qingzhou nodded politely in response, then picked up the bottles of drinks in his arms and prepared to leave.
As he turned around, he saw Chi Jun and Li Rui and their group pushing through the crowd.
"What's wrong?"
Chi Jun walked up to Xu Qingzhou and naturally took the bottles of drinks from his arms: "I was worried something had happened to you since you hadn't come back for so long."
Xu Qingzhou shook his head, noticing that Chi Jun inadvertently turned his head and glanced at the red-haired man and Xuan Li standing to the side.
Just one glance.
His gaze lingered on Xuanli's face for a moment, but it was quite obvious.
Xu Qingzhou, a sensitive person, is always good at noticing subtle clues in people's expressions. Almost at the same time, she noticed that Xuan Li was staring at Chi Jun, and her eyes lit up noticeably.
"Oh my, where did this beautiful lady come from? Hello, hello, my name is Wang Shuai."
Wang Shuai stepped forward first, extending both hands eagerly toward Xuan Li.
Xuan Li graciously responded to her handshake.
"Hello, my name is Xuan Li."
The other boys were a bit more reserved, but they all greeted her one by one.
Only Chi Jun, without saying a word, distributed the bottles of water that Xu Qingzhou had just bought to everyone, and then took out a tissue from his bag to wipe his hands.
However, Xuanli's eyes were already fixed on him.
Seeing that he remained silent, I took the initiative:
"Hey handsome, I don't even know your name yet."
Chi Jun was undoubtedly the most outstanding in appearance among this group. From the moment he appeared, the red-haired man's expression was subtly off, and he wanted to pull Xuan Li away.
Unexpectedly, Xuan Li greeted a group of boys and even took the initiative to ask the most handsome guy to introduce himself.
The red-haired man's expression darkened further, but he was helpless.
He could only watch as Chi Jun glanced at Xuan Li indifferently, his face expressionless, and said:
"Hello, Xu Jun."
"Xu Jun"
The two words were uttered slowly in Xuan Li's gentle yet sexy voice, adding an air of ambiguity: "The name suits the person perfectly, it sounds so nice."
The extra attention and praise from the beautiful woman made the group of boys who were with her realize something was up.
One by one, they started yelling "Ouch! Ouch!" and shoving Chi Jun while winking at him, attracting the attention of passersby.
It wasn't until Chi Jun frowned and said, "Aren't you guys annoying?" that the boys exchanged glances and quieted down.
The red-haired man took the opportunity to say to Xuan Li:
"Let's go, if we don't line up for that event soon, we might miss the afternoon's parade."
"Um."
Xuan Li responded, smiled and waved to the boys, and as she turned around, she clearly glanced at Chi Jun again.
Xu Qingzhou looked at Chi Jun.
The latter took out his phone and checked the time.
*
Undoubtedly, Xuan Li's personal charm is not only very attractive to girls, but also irresistible to boys.
While queuing for the pirate ship in the afternoon, a group of boys chattered away, and two out of every three sentences they uttered revolved around Xuanli.
"Wow, she's so beautiful! She'd be a top contender in the entertainment industry!"
"Those eyes were really captivating. I was completely stunned, guys. Did you see that?"
"I saw it, I saw it, too bad you're not the handsome Xu Jun~"
When Xu Jun is mentioned, everyone's eyes are drawn to him.
After all, Xuanli had clearly shown interest in him earlier, and everyone wanted to see how he would react.
However, Chi Jun, with a bag slung across his chest, was intently tearing open the packaging of beef jerky.
Meeting the gazes of the group of people above, he calmly tore open the packaging and stuffed the jerky into his mouth:
"I didn't bring any of you."
After saying that, he stuffed a small packet of beef jerky into Xu Qingzhou's arms.
Everyone: "..."
Damn it, all the beautiful girls have their eyes on you, and you're still eating beef jerky here.
Did they trade their brains for this good looks?
The group, too lazy to talk to Chi Jun anymore, chatted on and on, asking Xu Qingzhou what he thought of Xuan Li from a girl's perspective.
Xu Qingzhou thought for a moment and said seriously:
She's very pretty and has a great personality; I think most girls would like her.
Wang Shuai: "See? I told you, when you're beautiful enough, you won't be envied. It's those who are only slightly more beautiful than others who will be resented."
Xu Qingzhou silently ate his beef jerky without saying anything more.
After a while, amidst the boys' chatter, another sentence suddenly popped up:
"Little sister, what do you think about Xuanli being your sister-in-law?"
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on her.
Xu Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and before he could think of an answer, Chi Jun suddenly patted the boy who asked the question on the shoulder: "Are you bored? If you're so bored, why don't you help me carry my bag?"
The boy's eyes widened: "Why?"
"Because you eat the most sandwiches at lunchtime."
"..."
Well, he who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding.
The boy endured the humiliation and carried his schoolbag on his back.
The pirate ship ride was so popular that a group of people waited in line for over an hour.
Xu Qingzhou's legs were stiff and swollen from standing, and he was relieved that it wasn't summer. Otherwise, standing under the scorching sun for more than an hour at a time would have likely caused him to suffer from heatstroke.
However, after queuing for an hour, the actual activity only lasts five minutes.
When Li Rui got off the pirate ship, he was still not satisfied and kept saying that if he didn't have to see the floats, he would have gone to the back of the line again immediately.
Because the pirate ship ride was quite far from the parade route, the group had barely caught their breath before rushing back to the parade route after getting off the pirate ship.
When they arrived at the designated spot for the floats, there were already many people standing by the roadside. They had to find a less crowded place to squeeze through. It was noisy all around, and the air was filled with the smell of sweat and perfume.
Aside from the children excitedly running around on the unregulated roads, the adults were all bored, heads down, scrolling through their phones.
After waiting for about forty minutes, the float finally came towards us, accompanied by cheerful and rhythmic music, and became increasingly clear.
The crowd, which had been waiting listlessly, suddenly perked up again.
As people gazed at the dazzling yet orderly parade of floats, they all took out their phones to take pictures. Children, perched on their fathers' shoulders, kept asking, "Which princess is that?" and "And what prince is that?"
As Xu Qingzhou took out her phone to record a video, a staff member wearing a teddy bear costume blew her a kiss from afar.
The entire parade of floats passed by, lasting for about ten minutes. After the parade passed, some people ran alongside the procession, while others rushed off to the next event to queue.
Li Rui and the others complained that they were too tired and insisted on taking a break.
Just a short walk of about two hundred meters after turning right, there was a lake. There were steps and wooden chairs by the lake where people could sit. A group of people walked over listlessly, and finally, when their bottoms touched the chairs, a few boys let out a comfortable sigh.
"Don't wake me, I need to rest for half an hour!"
"Ah, I need to lie down for a bit, my back just can't take it anymore..."
A group of people were lying down or sitting, all looking completely spineless. Chi Jun chuckled and remarked:
"Promising."
He turned around and looked at Xu Qingzhou, saying, "You should rest for a while too. I'm going to the restroom."
Xu Qingzhou nodded.
Chi Jun then left.
Although the amusement park was quite crowded, perhaps because there were too many rides to experience, the lakeside wasn't very busy. A cool breeze was blowing gently from the lake, making it very pleasant and comfortable.
Xu Qingzhou sat down and rested with her eyes closed for a while, while the boys chatted casually next to her.
"Ah, this feels so good. It would be perfect if I could have an ice pop right now."
"Indeed... Hey, when I came over just now, I saw there was a freezer over there, it must sell this."
"Really?" The boy jolted awake, looked up, and glanced around. "Ah, that's too far. I don't want to move. You go ahead."
"I'm not going, you go."
"you go."
"you go."
The two boys pushed and shoved each other, refusing to move for a long time.
At this moment, Xu Qingzhou stood up.
I'll go.
Both boys were startled, then their eyes filled with envy:
"Damn, what a blessing Xu Jun has, to have such a wonderful younger sister..."
"Little sister, buy one for yourself too! Pick the expensive one! It's on me!"
Xu Qingzhou smiled and walked over there.
The store is about 100 meters away. It's decorated like a cute little castle, and the freezer is placed right at the entrance.
Xu Qingzhou asked the staff for a bag and, according to the preferences the boys had mentioned, filled it with several ice creams of different flavors, such as chocolate, jam, and matcha.
When I went to pay the bill, I happened to see the red-haired man also paying.
He bought two chocolate ice creams and two bottles of water, turned around and saw Xu Qingzhou, and greeted him:
"Come buy some ice cream too!"
Xu Qingzhou nodded.
As she paid the bill and left, she noticed the red-haired man standing on a lamppost next to the store, carrying a bag in one hand and eating an ice cream in the other. He was looking into the distance, seemingly lost in thought, and his expression appeared somewhat melancholic and bittersweet.
As Xu Qingzhou passed by, he glanced in that direction, following the gaze of the other party.
The next moment, however, their steps froze.
Through the alley between the two shops, you can see a flower bed trimmed into cartoon characters. Under the bright sunlight, the flowers and plants in the flower bed are lush and green, full of natural vitality from afar.
At that moment, a beautiful couple sat by the flower bed, talking.
It's Xuan Li.
He and Chi Jun.
