night.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and its reflection in the lake is like a mirror, enveloping everything around it.
A pebble bounces and tumbles on the water's surface, and the scene after it breaks apart is even more beautiful.
As the lake stopped rippling, all the beauty returned to view.
Qin Bai walked back to the campfire, sat down, and took a big gulp of beer.
"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time."
Luo Qingyan said with heartache, "The pace of life in China is too fast, and it seems like you haven't stopped all these years."
Qin Bai waved his hand dismissively: "People have to make a fuss while they're alive, otherwise how will they know they're still alive?"
"But sometimes you should stop and look at the scenery around you, and you'll discover the beauty of the world."
He reached out and touched Luo Qingyan's soft face: "Aren't you the beauty in my life? Looking at you makes me feel less tired."
"Can you keep looking at me like that?"
"If you'd like, of course I can."
Pleasant Goat walked over with two skewers of grilled chicken wings.
"I really envy the beautiful love you see. Qin is a gentle person."
Qin Bai took the chicken wings: "Thank you for the compliment."
He called out to the distance, "Boiling Sheep, that's enough to eat, come and rest for a while."
This bonfire barbecue was specially prepared by the two foreigners to welcome them.
It's rare to find such a peaceful place in China. Even if there is a good camping spot, it's surrounded by travelers.
"Here you are." Fei Yangyang walked over carrying a huge tray.
"Give me a can of beer, today... what's that idiom again?"
"Drink until you're drunk!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The four of them sat around the campfire, and Mei Yangyang asked, "Qin, are you really not planning to stay here?"
Qin Bai smiled and shook his head: "There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in China. Maybe one day when I get old, I will consider this matter."
Luo Qingyan took a small bite of a chicken wing and said with some longing, "Actually, this place is really a good home. It's nestled against the mountains and by the water. I feel much happier being buried here."
Qin Bai pulled her into his arms: "How about we settle down here when we get old?"
"Okay, even if you can't walk anymore, I'll bring you over in a wheelchair."
"I'm just afraid that when we become an old man and an old woman, you won't have the strength to push me anymore."
Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll buy you an electric wheelchair."
"Um... can't I just walk over by myself? Do I have to sit in a wheelchair?" Qin Bai protested.
"Haha, it's good to be in a wheelchair. It saves you from running around and the process of finding you is still very frustrating."
The warm light from the campfire illuminated the little yandere's profile very brightly.
Qin Bai gently kissed her forehead and said softly, "I won't run away anymore. Even if you really lock me up, I'll do it willingly."
Luo Qingyan leaned against him with a satisfied look on her face. This romantic setting was perfect for listening to sweet words.
She didn't seem to feel anything was wrong.
The two foreigners next to him looked disgusted.
Eek~~~
This guy is making empty promises again.
Even if the French are romantic, they rarely encounter someone as carefree as Qin Bai.
Pleasant Goat asked, "Qin, could you teach me some more impressive poses during this time?"
Looking at her expectant eyes and flushed face, Qin Bai felt a little out of place.
He understood why Luo Qingyan would misunderstand; given her current appearance, anyone would overthink things.
Have you ever heard of the Eight-Section Brocade exercise?
"Eight Pieces of Brocade? I think I've heard of it. Is it really that powerful?"
"Of course, most people wouldn't do that."
Pleasant Goat immediately became interested: "Quickly, quickly, teach me now!"
"Okay." Qin Bai finished his beer. He still enjoyed being a teacher, even though the foreigner was eager to learn about Chinese traditions.
He struck a pose.
"Come on, follow me, hold up the sky with both hands to regulate the three burners, the movements should be slow, yes, like this..."
Boiling Sheep quickly stood up and followed Qin Bai's actions.
Luo Qingyan looked at the three people by the campfire with a smile.
This scene probably hasn't happened yet.
Lakeside, bonfire, moonlight... with such romantic elements, these people are actually practicing Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade).
Okay.
It's definitely one of a kind in the world.
However, she was very curious as to why Qin Bai had so many skills.
Logically speaking, a person won't have many skills in the 20 years they've been born.
Even with exceptional talent, one shouldn't have such a wide range of interests.
How did Xiaobai do it?
Luo Qingyan and Cheng Jing had asked Qin Bai a lot about his daily life during their casual conversations.
But she discovered that even as his mother, she only knew some superficial things.
During the years Cheng Jing was ill, Qin Bai learned a great deal in order to earn money.
Actually, Luo Qingyan was quite afraid.
The more I know, the more afraid I become.
A container has a limit to what it can hold.
Especially a container with a lid.
If you keep stuffing things in, the consequences are predictable.
So, she was afraid...
She feared that one day, the container would fall apart because it was filled with too many things.
She came on this trip not only for herself, but also for Qin Bai.
