Chapter 25
At two o'clock, Jiang Bai arrived at the gate of the villa on time. The security guard at the gate already knew her, and after making a phone call to confirm, he let her in directly. She took off her helmet and took out her mobile phone.
Before the message was sent, the door next to him opened.
"Jiang Bai!"
Lan Shuqing's cheerful voice rang out. Jiang Bai turned around and saw the cloud-like girl rushing over and hugging her, "Long time no see!"
The scent of jasmine enveloped her again. Jiang Bai's hand trembled and she almost dropped her phone. She held onto Lan Shuqing's arm and looked up at her, "Be careful, don't fall."
Lan Shu snorted softly. She let go of Jiang Bai, adjusted her bag, and complained, "You don't even miss me!"
Jiang Bai's eyes were slightly stunned. Where did this guy come to this conclusion?
Lan Shuqing crossed his arms and stared at her.
Jiang Bai grabbed Lan Shuqing's arm and popped the bulging human-shaped balloon. "I miss you, I miss you very much. Okay, little friend?"
Lan Shu chuckled. She moved closer to Jiang Bai and smiled brightly, "I knew it!"
Know again?
Jiang Bai sighed helplessly in his heart, then handed her the helmet and said, "Get in the car."
Lan Shuqing put on his helmet, sat in the back seat, and then hugged Jiang Bai's waist, "I'm ready, let's go!"
It was November and the weather was a little chilly. Lan Shuqing was wearing a helmet and leaning gently against Jiang Bai's helmet from behind. He could faintly smell the familiar scent of laundry detergent at the tip of his nose.
Missing you is like the wind, growing wildly: Jiang Bai Jiang Bai Jiang Bai, I miss you so much.
The Lakeside Park is a famous holiday park in City A. The circumference of the lake is ten kilometers and it is located in the south. The only activity on the lake is boating. There are cafes and teahouses around it, and occasionally there are some official and unofficial activities.
These were all found by Jiang Bai on the Internet. It was also her first time there.
It took Jiang Bai more than half an hour to ride the ten-kilometer distance. When he was approaching the lakeside park, he could see private cars everywhere, parked on the roadside or looking for parking spaces.
Jiang Bai rode to the main gate. The electric scooter was still parked in the non-motor vehicle parking space on the side of the road. Opposite the main gate was a small shopping mall with a Pizza Hut and a supermarket.
But it's really small.
Lan Shuqing got out of the back seat and took off her helmet. After Jiang Bai parked the car, she took Jiang Bai's arm. Jiang Bai tilted his head to look at her. There was a strand of hair on Lan Shuqing's head that was messy, so Jiang Bai reached out and smoothed it for her.
This caused Lan Shuqing to smile, and Jiang Bai also smiled, "Let's go."
It is the beginning of winter and the weather is a bit cold. This year's winter has not yet fully arrived. The sun is still high in the sky, bringing some warmth, which is suitable for relaxing and visiting the park.
Look, there are people coming to play all around, one after another.
Jiang Bai and Lan Shuqing walked along the pedestrian path together. There was a lake on the right side of the path. They walked on the right. There were children riding their own bicycles on the road. Jiang Bai pulled Lan Shuqing and changed positions with her. Lan Shuqing walked on the inside and Jiang Bai walked on the outside.
Jiang Bai was wearing black trousers and a white T-shirt today, with a denim jacket on top. He didn't bring a bag, and his cell phone and keys were in his jacket pocket.
There was a gentle breeze, the grass on both sides of the road was green, the willow branches were swaying, and the lake not far away was sparkling. Lan Shu's hand, which was gently held, changed to holding hers, and then swayed back and forth, like a little child, obviously happy.
Jiang Bai glanced at her, with a subtle doting look in his eyes.
"Jiang Bai, look," Lan Shuqing suddenly pointed at a black moving object on the lake, "There's a duck!"
Jiang Bai looked in the direction Lan Shu pointed, and sure enough, he saw a big duck swimming with several ducklings.
“1, 2, 3, 4…”
Lan Shuqing counted them one by one, "There are seven little ducks~"
They were undoubtedly children. Jiang Bai also counted them, "Eight, right? There's one more over there."
There is one that is so close to the others that you can't tell them apart unless you look carefully.
Lan Shuqing glanced several times but didn't see anything. She shook Jiang Bai's hand and said, "There are only seven!"
Jiang Bai pointed to her again, "There, right there..."
Lan Shuqing didn't see it, so if he didn't see it, then there are none. "I said seven, so that's seven!"
Jiang Bai glanced at her and compromised before the child could get angry: "Okay, seven."
What if she was mistaken too, right?
Lan Shuqing stopped, took out her cell phone from her bag, and took a picture of the mother duck and her ducklings.
Jiang Bai stood by and waited for her.
After Lan Shu patted the little duck, he turned the camera and took a selfie with Jiang Bai, who hadn't reacted yet.
In the photo, Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing in a daze, while Lan Shuqing looked at the camera and smiled happily, with the willow trees behind him dotted with green.
Lan Shuqing looked at the photo with satisfaction, "Jiang Bai, you look very photogenic!"
It looks really good.
Jiang Bai stood aside. She smoothed her hair and tugged at Lan Shuqing's sleeve uncomfortably. "Let's go."
Many parents brought their children to play around, and many of the children were holding net bags. At first, Jiang Bai didn't understand why, until he walked down a distance, he saw one child after another squatting by the lake, with either a small bucket at their feet or their parents holding a transparent plastic bag filled with water.
Catching small fish.
Jiang Bai pulled Lan Shuqing closer to the shore and took a look. The frightened little fish were running away quickly. Jiang Bai saw several of them with his sharp eyes.
Envious and wanting to play, Jiang Bai glanced at the children catching fish, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Lan Shuqing also squatted down. Some of the fry had grown to the thickness of fingers. She pulled Jiang Bai's hand and said, "Jiang Bai, look."
Jiang Bai also squatted down, and the two of them squatted side by side. Jiang Bai poked the surface of the lake with her finger, and it felt cool. Lan Shuqing saw her movement and felt inexplicably cute. After poking, Jiang Bai poked the surface of the lake with her hand, and a small fish that had escaped jumped out from under the water plants, and then jumped under the water plants on the other side and disappeared.
Lan Shuqing's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by Jiang Bai's slender fingers. She glanced at her own hands and felt that they were not as long as Jiang Bai's.
"Fishing is prohibited around the lake. Parents, please do not take your children fishing."
"Parents, please do not take your children fishing."
Suddenly, the sound of a horn came from far away and got closer. Jiang Bai and Lan Shuqing stood up and saw the staff around the lake walking around with the horn and playing it, and then asking the children to put away the nets.
The children folded up the nets and put them back. Most parents ignored the loudspeaker, and those who did paid attention just walked forward with the nets.
Jiang Bai and Lan Shuqing also walked along the lake, but found that there were even more children.
Jiang Bai suddenly laughed as she watched. Lan Shuqing caught a glimpse of her smile and asked, "Jiang Bai, what are you laughing at?"
Jiang Bai glanced at Lan Shu lightly. "Nothing, I just thought..." She considered her words, "quite cute."
Life is like this, as plain as this pool of lake water, only time moves forward slowly, no matter whether the sound is loud or soft, no matter whether it is happy or sad, life is always life.
Jiang Bai reached out and held Lan Shuqing's arm. Lan Shuqing glanced at her, holding the strap of her shoulder bag with her left hand, with a smile on her lips. She now thought Jiang Bai was quite cute.
Continuing walking forward, the pedestrian path splits into two. The left side goes up and is surrounded by lawns, while the right side goes down and still follows the lakeside. There are many people coming and going on both sides. From a distance, it seems that a group of people have gathered at the lakeside. There are a few small boats on the lake, with two or three people on each boat, enjoying the fun of rowing.
The two continued walking along the lakeside. There were many people taking pictures by the lake, both young and old. Jiang Bai pulled Lan Shuqing and passed by quickly. The closer they got to the boating place, the more they could hear noise.
Many people gathered at the dock, some to buy tickets and some to watch.
"Jiang Bai, do you want to go play?"
The staff at the dock split into two groups, one setting off and the other collecting the boats. Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai stood on one side. Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing and asked, "Do you want to play?"
Lan Shuqing crossed his arms, touched his chin with one hand, and nodded, "I want to play."
Jiang Bai glanced at the price, 150 per person. She looked at Lan Shuqing again and asked, "I can't row a boat. Can you?"
Lan Shuqing shook his head decisively, "No."
Jiang Bai looked hesitantly at the small boat on the lake. Everyone on board was wearing life jackets. "Then let's not play. What if it capsizes or we can't get back?"
Lan Shu chuckled, "Jiang Bai, you are so cautious~"
Jiang Bai glared at her, grabbed her arm, and said as they walked, "What caution? Even children know to stay away from danger."
"Okay, okay," Lan Shuqing let her pull him and smiled happily.
The two people walked upwards, and the sound of music came from above, not far away, as if some event was being held.
When I got closer, I saw that it was an open-air coffee shop hosting a music event for children. They had set up a stage of about five square meters and invited the children to sing. Those who finished a whole song received a free drink and could also be ranked.
At this time, there was a little boy on the stage holding a microphone and singing haltingly. There were many parents sitting in the audience, and some people were watching nearby.
Lan Shuqing's eyes lit up at the sight. She poked Jiang Bai's shoulder and said, "Jiang Bai, let's go sing?"
Jiang Bai's eyes widened and he quickly refused, "I don't want it. I'm not a child."
Lan Shuqing continued to encourage, "Go ahead, go ahead. I want to go."
The happiness of an e-person is incomprehensible to an i-person. Jiang Bai pulled his arm out of Lan Shuqing's grasp and said, "I don't want to go. If you want to go, go by yourself. Don't drag me along!"
Lan Shuqing snorted at Jiang Bai, and she walked to the coffee shop bar in two or three steps, talking to the waiter at the bar.
Lan Shuqing took a menu from the waiter. Jiang Bai watched her walk over with the menu. Jiang Bai took a step back, but Lan Shuqing grabbed her wrist and led her to the fence of the coffee shop. "If you don't want to sing, then be my audience!"
The boy on the stage had just finished singing, and the next one was Lan Shuqing. Lan Shuqing turned to look at Jiang Bai, "Wait for me here, don't run away."
Jiang Bai stood there, watching Lan Shuqing walk onto the stage in two or three steps, take the microphone from the waiter on the other side, clap twice, and immediately attract the attention of others.
The girl's delicate face looked particularly beautiful in the sunlight, bright and warm. Standing on the stage, she looked like a cloud. Lan Shu chuckled softly, and her clear voice came out from the microphone, "Little Jumping Frog, dedicated to everyone!"
