clue
This dinner was mainly filled with questions from those who hadn't gone to the winter camp. He Qingtian was responsible for answering, and Zhou Tian was responsible for supplementing. Shen Anyan listened for most of the time, and would chat a little when he encountered a topic that interested him. He was actually enjoying the leisure time.
Her phone vibrated slightly. She clicked on the screen and saw a message from Lu Zhou.
The other party sent a photo of a grassland still tinged with green, especially striking in winter. In the center was a wooden house, with seating and a canopy outside, exuding a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.
Lu Zhou: Are you busy lately? If not, would you like to come and spend a few days here?
Shen Anyan thought about it and realized that she had been free recently. The place Lu Zhou had posted to was also to her liking, so it would be nice to go there and have some fun.
She replied: Sure, when will you come?
Lu Zhou: It's all fine. It depends on when it's convenient for you.
Lu Zhou: [Picture]
Lu Zhou: There's so much delicious food here, including barbecue, hot pot, desserts, and even homemade milk tea. If you're bored, you can go horseback riding. The stars are clear at night, so come early and enjoy!
The picture was a selfie, seemingly taken casually. Lu Zhou was holding a bunch of grilled mushrooms and winked at the camera.
Shen Anyan couldn't help but laugh.
She replied: Oh, I don’t have anything to do here, I can leave tonight, I wonder if it’s a bit too early?
Lu Zhou: Not early!
Lu Zhou: It's a deal then. I'll have someone pick you up tonight, okay?
Shengyan: Sure, I’ll send you the address.
Since she and Lu Zhou had already made an appointment to hang out, Shen Anyan didn't plan to go back to her rental apartment. After finishing her meal with her friends, she sat down nearby and waited for someone sent by Lu Zhou to pick her up.
Lu Zhou said the car would be here soon, so Shen Anyan waited by the roadside. She leisurely watched the cars coming and going, keeping an eye out for any that matched Lu Zhou's description.
As a result, she didn't find the car first, but the car found her first.
A conspicuous red sports car stopped in front of Shen Anyan. The window slowly rolled down, and the person in the driver's seat leaned out and shouted with a smile: "Hey, pretty sister, do you want to go out tonight?"
Shen Anyan:……?
Across from me was a beautiful woman, dressed in casual clothes and wearing sunglasses. She had a relaxed posture, a warm smile on her face, and seemed easy to talk to, making her seem approachable.
Therefore, her lecherous greeting did not offend Shen Anyan. Shen Anyan raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile: "Oh, that's unfortunate. I already have an appointment."
The woman sighed regretfully. "What should we do? You could ask your date if they'd mind adding someone else."
Shen Anyan said: "Well...I guess he doesn't mind."
The woman smiled: "What are you waiting for? Get in the car!"
After closing the car door and settling into the passenger seat, Shen Anyan turned to the woman and asked, "Are you Lu Zhou's sister?"
The woman started the car and smiled as she heard him say, "Yes, Lu Miao. Miao means three waters. Why, do my brother and I look so much alike? It's so easy to recognize us?"
Shen Anyan said: "Well, they are quite similar. They look alike and have similar temperament."
In fact, it's mainly their temperament that's similar. Both the brother and sister have a relaxed feeling of not caring about the lives of others, and they are very easy to tell apart.
Lu Miao was amused: "After all, we grew up together, but I'm more reliable than him."
Shen Anyan: ...
As soon as these words came out, she began to doubt the authenticity of this reliable information.
The journey was shorter than Shen Anyan had imagined, and two hours later, they arrived at their destination.
What meets the eye is the endless grassland, occasionally you can see a few cows and sheep, and people riding on horses.
Lu Miao asked: "Can you ride a horse?"
Shen Anyan nodded.
Lu Miao clapped his hands and said, "That's convenient. Let's go and ride over there."
Lu Miao seemed to be a regular here. As soon as she arrived at the horse farm, the boss came to greet her and asked her familiarly: "Hey, Mr. Lu, it's still snow-covered, right?"
Lu Miao nodded: "No hurry, let's find a good horse for my sister first."
Shen Anyan was still in shock when Lu Miao put his arm around his shoulders and asked with a smile, "Take a look, which one do you like?"
The boss had never met Shen Anyan, but seeing that Lu Miao had a good relationship with her, he was very polite: "Hey, little girl, have you ever ridden a horse? Do you want a stronger one or a more docile one? If you are a novice, then choose a docile one that will be more stable."
Shen Anyan said: "Be a little better."
She had been in the car for two hours and didn't have the energy to ride a horse anymore, so she just wanted to ride steadily.
The boss smiled and said, "Hey! What do you think of this one? Baiyun, he has a very gentle temperament and is very humane."
She was referring to a horse that was as white as snow, with soft and smooth fur, worthy of the name Baiyun.
Lu Miao's eyes lit up: "This one is good, beautiful! Sister, do you like it?"
Seeing Shen Anyan nod, she happily asked the boss to lead the horse out.
Lu Miao said: "Let's try it first and see how it goes."
Chen Anyan climbed onto the horse swiftly, rode Baiyun around the horse farm a few times, and then returned to his original position. He said to Lu Miao, "It's good. The feeling is back."
Lu Miao smiled and said "OK", then asked the boss to lead his horse out.
Only when he saw the other horse did Shen Anyan understand why the horse was called "Treading Snow".
Taxue is a black horse, but its four hooves are white, and it really looks like Taxue.
Lu Miao climbed onto the horse's back, sat down, and then led the horse and Shen Anyan side by side.
She took the other person's speed into consideration and didn't ride the horse too fast. The two of them walked along the way, and soon the wooden house appeared in their sight.
This cabin is not an ordinary cabin, but a wooden B&B. The first floor is a leisure area, and the second floor is the accommodation area.
The house is simple but not shabby. It has all the necessary facilities and is very clean. The decoration inside the house also has an exotic flavor, which is very consistent with the grassland.
There is a grill in front of the house, and dishes, drinks and snacks are already placed on the table next to it.
Lu Zhou sat bored in his chair, looking around from time to time, until he saw two horses, one black and one white, coming towards him in the distance. He instantly became alert, jumped up from his chair, and strode forward.
Lu Miao also saw his younger brother and waved from afar: "Hey - Zhou Zhou!"
Lu Zhou also waved happily and shouted, "Sister—Feast!"
When they got closer, the two men dismounted and walked over holding the reins.
Lu Zhou said, "You guys arrived pretty quickly! I've already prepared the ingredients and are ready to grill right away. Feast! My cooking is delicious, you must try it!"
Shen Anyan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, do you want me to help?"
Lu Miao had already gone to light the stove. She asked the staff to take the horse away and said to Shen Anyan, "Oh, no need. It's not right to let the guests do it. What do you like to eat?"
Shen Anyan said: "I'm not picky about food, I like to eat everything."
Lu Zhou said, "Then I'll grill the mushrooms first. They're the best!"
The grilled vegetables were ready quickly. It was getting late and a bit chilly outside, so everyone moved inside to eat. Lu Zhou was right; the stars on the grassland were indeed beautiful. Chen Anyan ate the skewers, gazing at the grassland and the starry sky at night, with melodious folk songs drifting across the plains. It was truly a magical experience.
At the table, Lu Zhou stuffed skewers onto the plate in front of Shen Anyan and asked Lu Miao, "Sister, how long can you stay this time?"
Lu Miao said: "We'll be leaving after the New Year."
Lu Zhou was a little disappointed. "So soon?"
Lu Miao smiled and patiently explained: "After all, this is a collaboration with the Shen family, so we must pay more attention."
Shen Anyan paused, his ears pricked up quietly, wanting to hear more news.
Lu Zhou beside him asked in surprise, "Shen family? Sister, is this the Shen family I know?"
Lu Miao raised his eyebrows: "Yes, it's the Shen family."
————
"Speaking of which, there will be an auction in the capital after the New Year, and the Shen family will also be present. If I have time, I should go and take a look..."
As Lu Miao spoke, he pulled up a list from his tablet and showed it to the two people opposite him.
"Take a look, if there's anything you like, I'll buy it then."
Lu Zhou instantly perked up when he heard it, and pulled Shen Anyan to watch it together.
The auction items were quite varied, including wine, jewelry, and land. Shen Anyan had seen many of these things before he traveled through time, so he didn't have much interest in them.
Until an auction item called "Time Jade" caught her eye.
Shen Anyan said softly, "Huh?"
Lu Zhou immediately stopped swiping the screen and zoomed in on the item being auctioned.
"What's wrong? Do you like this?" he asked.
Shen Anyan said: "No, it's just a little strange. It looks like an ordinary piece of jade. How can it be put up for auction?"
Lu Miao smiled and said, "The price of jade has always been a mystery, so it's not surprising."
Lu Zhou glanced at the description next to the picture and said happily, "Not only that, it says here that this jade can travel through time and space!"
This statement was too far-fetched, and the brother and sister obviously didn't believe it. Shen Anyan also smiled, and this episode passed just like that.
However, after the Chinese New Year, Shen Anyan boarded a plane from Haicheng to Beijing, determined to get this "time jade".
