Chapter 162 I'll Carry You Down
"Who said no one wants me? The women behind me are lining up." Ji Mingyu snorted in dissatisfaction.
Tang Ci smiled but said nothing.
Three wooden boats have already entered the lotus pond.
"Mom, I want that big lotus flower..." Xiao Mumu pointed at a lotus flower, his face full of excitement.
"Okay." Gu Nanyan agreed with a smile, and then said to Chen Boyan, "Boyan, go over there."
Chen Boyan said nothing, but silently rowed the boat to a double-petaled lotus. He reached out and plucked the big lotus and handed it to Xiao Mumu.
"Thank you, Dad."
In the golden sunlight, Xiao Mumu was holding the lotus flower, which was actually bigger than his head.
"Which one do you want?"
Shen Boyan then asked Gu Nanyan again.
"Me?" Gu Nanyue was stunned for a moment, "Aren't we picking lotus flowers to make lotus cakes?"
Shen Boyan said nothing and continued rowing.
Gu Nanyan sat closer to him and teased him deliberately, "Honey, come on, this is the first time you want to give me flowers, and you're just being so perfunctory?"
Without any careful preparation, I just wanted to pick ready-made lotus flowers for her.
"I haven't heard you say you like flowers either."
"How can I say such a thing?"
Gu Nanyan smiled and teased the man, then looked around and said, "Pick me some good-looking lotus flowers so I can put them in a vase. The lotus flowers have a delicate fragrance and should be nice to put in the room."
"Um."
Shen Boyan didn't say much, he just rowed the boat and picked lotus flowers.
Soon Gu Nanyue had a big handful in her hand.
"That's enough. No need to pick lotus flowers. Pick some lotus leaves for me."
Gu Nanyue sorted all the lotus flowers and put them back on the boat, then subconsciously raised her hand to block the sun.
As the sun rose higher, the light became more and more dazzling.
Gu Nanyue is afraid of the sun and wants to use lotus leaves as a parasol.
Shen Boyan obviously saw what she was thinking and picked two super large lotus leaves for her.
Gu Nanyue and Xiao Mumu each held one above their heads, the scene was very warm and romantic.
A family of three sailed freely in the lotus pond in a small boat.
The two small boats not far away were making very slow progress.
The two boats were rowing slowly, as if they were going for a cruise on the lake.
"Mr. Huo, please move the boat a little over here so I can pick lotus flowers." Lu Wan liked lotus flowers very much, but Huo Beiting's rowing skills didn't seem to be very good, and the boat was always far away from the lotus flowers.
Her arms weren't long enough, so when she reached out she always fell short.
"Okay, be careful."
Huo Beiting slowly moved the boat closer to the lotus flowers. Lu Wan leaned over and reached out to pick one, and finally picked one.
Who knew that as soon as she picked one, she suddenly looked ahead in surprise, "Wow, there are twin lotus flowers!"
As she spoke, she threw her whole body forward, and the boat instantly tilted to one side.
Huo Beiting wanted to say something, but the boat did not capsize. Instead, the excited Lu Wan lost her balance and fell directly into the lotus pond.
Fortunately, the water in the lotus pond was not deep, and she stood up quickly.
Even though she was soaked all over, she still rushed towards the two lotus flowers regardless.
"No way, Miss Lu actually went into the water to get rid of Mr. Huo?"
The two people who were alone on the shore looked at this scene with surprised expressions.
When Huo Beiting saw Lu Wan fall into the water, he simply threw away the paddle in his hand and jumped into the water.
Taking advantage of his long legs, he quickly approached Lu Wan.
The lotus pond was full of mud, and Lu Wan had difficulty walking.
Just when she finally got close to the lotus, a long hand reached out and plucked the two lotus flowers.
Huo Beiting frowned as he handed the lotus to Lu Wan, "Take this and go upstairs to change your clothes."
"Thank you." Lu Wan first took the lotus she loved, then looked down at her clothes. "It's all wet anyway, so I'll go upstairs and change clothes after picking the lotus flowers."
The water in the lotus pond was not deep. In fact, she felt that it would be more convenient to pick lotus flowers in the pond rather than on the boat in this hot weather.
After all, boats can't pass through places with dense flowers and leaves.
But she can walk through it.
Before Huo Beiting could say anything, Lu Wan had already walked towards the center of the lotus pond.
Because she saw several lotus flowers there.
Twin lotus flowers are very rare, but there are so many of them growing in this lotus pond.
Mr. Shen really didn't lie. The lotus flowers here are much more beautiful than those outside.
When Huo Beiting saw Lu Wan going to the middle, he immediately followed without saying anything.
"Hey, why did they go down?"
On another small boat, Song Shiyan, who was bending over to pick lotus flowers, saw the two people going down to the lotus pond and cast an interested look at them.
"How about we go down too?" Chu Yan was a man of his word. He immediately threw away the oars and jumped down first.
Song Shiyan looked at his haute couture suit that got wet and showed a surprised look.
Chu Yan stretched out his hands to her and said, "I'll carry you down."
