Chapter 133 Visiting Moon Lake
"is that true?"
A gentle smile appeared on Ye Wanqing's lips, but she did not continue to follow Zhao Jinyu's words.
Seeing this, Zhao Jinyu was curious but did not ask any further questions. The two continued to immerse themselves in the quiet time of afternoon tea until Ye Wanqing yawned inadvertently.
Obviously, I didn't sleep well last night, and now the sleepiness is coming like a tide.
Zhao Jinyu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with concern, "Are you sleepy?"
"Rainy days like this always make people want to fall into a deep sleep."
Indeed, the continuous drizzle is like a fine net, covering the whole world in a hazy atmosphere, creating an indescribable tranquility and peace, which is perfect for taking a short nap on this warm afternoon.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the raindrops hit the air conditioner outdoor unit on the side of the balcony, making a "tapping" sound, like a piece of music in nature.
Zhao Jinyu glanced at the watch on his wrist and suggested softly, "Why don't you take a rest first? Remember to come over at dinner time."
Ye Wanqing shook her head gently, rejecting Zhao Jinyu's kindness: "No, I haven't been sleeping well recently. I'm afraid that if I sleep now, I won't be able to sleep at night."
The atmosphere of the rainy day made the old house seem particularly quiet, and both of them seemed to have nothing to do.
Ye Wanqing's gaze fell on the drizzling rain outside the window again. She stared at it for a long time before slowly looking away and looking at Zhao Jinyu beside her: "Do you want to go see Moon Bay? I heard that Moon Bay has a unique charm on a rainy day."
Moon Bay, located in the western suburbs, is a shining pearl of the area, attracting countless tourists during the summer and winter holidays. On rainy days, Moon Bay is shrouded in a mysterious veil, evoking a sense of longing.
"If I say I'm not interested, are you going to go alone?"
Ye Wanqing stood up from the sofa, a look of nostalgia on her face. "I remember when I was a kid, my dad and I went to Moon Bay once. It was March or April then, and it was raining constantly. The lake seemed to be covered in a layer of mist. From afar, the entire lake surface was shimmering with silver light, so beautiful that it was breathtaking."
At that time, Moon Bay was not as famous as it is today, and Ye Wanqing has never been there since then.
Initially, it was because of her father's busy work, and later due to some more complicated emotional entanglements, she could no longer set foot in those waters.
"What you said makes my heart move. Let's go together."
Zhao Jinyu also stood up and said with a smile, "I have to go change my clothes."
"I also need to change into appropriate clothes."
It is obviously not convenient to wear a skirt when traveling on rainy days.
Ye Wanqing returned to her room and changed into a pair of casual trousers. These trousers were newly bought by her recently, but had been unused for a while due to her leg injury. They were surprisingly tight when she put them on.
This made her feel a little embarrassed. Perhaps it was because of the lack of exercise during the period of recovery that caused her to gain a little weight.
Just as Ye Wanqing was hesitating whether to change into another pair of pants, there was a knock on the door from Zhao Jinyu.
She sighed helplessly. "Never mind. Just leave it at that. Maybe I'll get used to it after a while."
"How much do you know about Moon Bay?"
Zhao Jinyu followed behind Ye Wanqing and shook his head: "Never been there."
When he went home before, he always came and left in a hurry and had no time to explore the city properly.
Now that I have grown up, although I come here occasionally during the summer vacation, I just accompany my grandfather to visit the botanical garden in the city.
Ye Wanqing walked down the stairs carefully, taking each step with extreme caution. After all, the board had just been removed, and she didn't want to make her recovery more difficult due to a momentary negligence.
She walked in silence, concentrating on her journey.
When they reached the first floor, the raindrops from the eaves splashed up. Ye Wanqing instinctively turned sideways, but accidentally bumped into Zhao Jinyu behind her.
Zhao Jinyu quickly reached out to steady her shoulders, and quickly opened the umbrella with his other hand: "Let's go, my car is parked inside the compound."
Ye Wanqing felt the warmth of Zhao Jinyu's palm.
"Thank you for just now."
"Why are you so polite all of a sudden?"
Zhao Jinyu turned his head to look at her, with a hint of confusion and a smile in his eyes.
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly: "Maybe I'm used to it."
Zhao Jinyu didn't say anything more after hearing this. He silently held the umbrella as they walked towards his car.
The rain continued to fall, never stopping. The cars on the road seemed to be driven away by the drizzle, becoming sparse and scattered. The raindrops slid slowly along the car windows, weaving a series of delicate ink paintings.
The two set off on time at 4:15 and arrived at Moon Bay at exactly 5:00.
The rain gradually softened, and Ye Wanqing gracefully stepped out of the car, holding an umbrella painted with blue and white porcelain patterns. Standing at the door, her gaze pierced through the mist of time. Moon Bay before her had been completely transformed, no longer the same as before.
The road has been carefully repaired and is flat and spacious. Rustic wooden guardrails have been added on both sides of the lakeshore, and a winding trail has been laid on the lake. An antique pavilion stands quietly in the center, surrounded by willows swaying in the wind, like a moving painting.
It was the beginning of April, the willows were green and the drizzle lingered with them, together outlining a hazy and poetic scene.
The pavilion in the rain seems to be covered by a layer of gauze, adding a bit of haziness and dreaminess.
The surroundings were silent, with only the sound of rain whispering in her ears. Ye Wanqing turned around and looked at Zhao Jinyu who was following closely behind her, and said softly, "I want to sit in that pavilion."
"Of course." Zhao Jinyu responded with a smile. The two of them set foot on the path leading to the pavilion. Each of them had their own little world under the umbrella. They walked lightly, as if they were strolling in a fairyland in the rain.
In the wind and rain, Ye Wanqing unconsciously tightened her clothes. Her eyes swept across the lake, only seeing ripples but no other scenery.
Arriving at the pavilion, Ye Wanqing put away her umbrella, stood aside, and quietly watched the rain fall, with a sense of tranquility and peace in her heart.
Zhao Jinyu stayed by her side silently, without saying a word, for fear of disturbing this rare tranquility and beauty.
Ever since he first met Ye Wanqing, he noticed that she seemed to have a special liking for this quietness and tranquility.
The sound of rain became the only melody, and Ye Wanqing immersed herself in it, as if she had forgotten the hustle and bustle of the world.
It wasn't until a chill quietly came over her that she withdrew her thoughts and asked softly, "Is it boring?"
"Hmm?" Zhao Jinyu didn't understand what she meant. He walked to her side and followed her gaze.
The spring rain is like silk, and the willows are swaying gently.
“Nothing special.”
He retracted his gaze and looked down at Ye Wanqing, his eyes full of tenderness. "Sometimes, the beauty of a scene is not what you see in front of you."
"What's the point?" Ye Wanqing looked up curiously and looked at him.
"State of mind." He smiled slightly. "Walking on a rainy day, enjoying the tranquility and beauty, is also a rare pleasure."
"You're right." Ye Wanqing nodded with a faint smile on her face.
Half an hour later, the two of them set off on their return journey. Ye Wanqing gradually fell asleep in the car, her breathing soft and long.
The red light came on and the car slowly stopped. Zhao Jinyu turned his head to look at the sleeping woman in the passenger seat, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
To him, Ye Wanqing was like a mysterious existence, sometimes gentle as water, sometimes tough as ice.
She is as deep as the abyss, making it unfathomable; and as bright as the sunshine, warming people's hearts.
What a complex and fascinating woman.
When Ye Wanqing opened her eyes again, she was in a dark place. She slowly adjusted to her surroundings and realized that night had fallen.
She moved her body, raised her hand to gently rub her sore neck, and turned her head to meet Zhao Jinyu's loving eyes.
"Awake?" he asked softly, his tone full of tenderness and concern.
"Yeah." Ye Wanqing responded, her voice lazily and hoarsely, "How long have I slept?"
Zhao Jinyu glanced at his phone and said, "It's taking longer than you expected."
"It's already 7:10, so we can go upstairs and have dinner."
She smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"It's okay." Zhao Jinyu said gently.
Ye Wanqing unbuckled her seat belt and responded softly, "Thank you."
