Gu Qian had originally planned to accompany Old Lady Gu in the afternoon and take the children for a stroll around Hangzhou.

Old Madam Gu ended up feeling sleepy after lunch. When Gu Qian talked to her, she gave up and said, "Qian Qian Qian, take A'yuan and Mian'ansi to our Hangzhou for a stroll in the western year. The scenery in Hangcheng is great, and rowing and swimming in the lake is very enjoyable!" "Anyway, you will be staying for two days this time. You have plenty of time to accompany me!"

"Mom, I'm also a bit tired, so I want to have a nap with Grandma." Ah Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Mom, me too!" She raised her hands in agreement.

What Gu Qian didn't know was that A'Yuan and Gu Qing had been secretly nibbling on their ears, planning to sacrifice their time outside to provide Gu Xi Nian and Gu Qian with space for themselves.

When Old Madam Gu heard that the two treasures were staying behind to accompany her, the smile on her face deepened. "Qian Qian. Then take Xi Nian out for a stroll. A Yuan and I will watch, so you don't have to worry."

Gu Qian was helpless. The original five-man journey had turned into a two-man swim.

The car was seated. "Where do you want to go?" Gu Qian asked Gu Xi Nian.

Gu Xi Nian rolled up his sleeves and casually said, "You decide." He didn't come here to play. It didn't matter where he went.

"Alright then … "Then let's go to Lake X, a scenic spot where tourists always play cards. There are a lot of places to visit around here!"

After finalizing the location, they drove there.

Since it was a scenic area, it was not easy to stop the car. Gu Xi Nian found a nearby shopping mall and parked the car.

It was already summer by noon, but luckily it had rained a while ago. These few days, the temperature was suitable for sightseeing and he would not feel the heat.

Therefore, there were many people who came out to play.

At the holiday season, there was a sea of people near the shore of the X Lake. The more people there were, the faster they would be able to break the 'broken bridge'.

Gu Xi Nian frowned as he looked at the sea of people, his face turning dark.

"Let's go!" Gu Qian turned his head and called out to Gu Xi Nian, not bothering to look forward as he was about to be run over by a passerby.

Gu Xi Nian reacted quickly. He reached out a hand to grab Gu Qian's hand and pulled her to his side.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qian was startled by Gu Xi Nian's sudden action.

"Don't turn your back to the crowd, we'll be hit."

"Oh …" Gu Qian replied in embarrassment, "There's too many people here. I know there's a place with not many people who can travel by boat to Lake X, but we still have to pass through here."

"Mm, lead the way." Gu Xi Nian nodded his head as he wrapped his arm around Gu Qian, blocking the flow of people.

Gu Qian's back was pressed against Gu Xi Nian's chest, and one could even feel his heart beating. Along with his heart beating, his heart became extremely clear amidst the crowd of people.

This small space gave him an endless sense of security.

"Thank you." Gu Qian pursed his lips into a faint smile, the faint dimples in his cheeks faintly discernible.

After half an hour of walking and stopping, they arrived at a relatively quiet place.

This place was covered in green vegetation, winding small paths, and the layout of the small bridges, flowing water, and courtyard. In the water, there were even many small and large brocade carps playing.

In the busy city of Shicheng, there would never be such a beautiful scene.

Gu Qian sniffed the fresh air with all her might. The long and intense life in the city had pressured her to the point where she couldn't breathe. At this moment, facing the beautiful scenery and fresh air, Gu Qian was completely relaxed.

Gu Xi Nian followed behind her, his eyebrows raised as he looked at her bouncing back.

The last time the two of them had gone out to play was too long ago. Back then, everything had been different. A'Yuan and Em hadn't been born yet, and Gu Xi Nian and Gu Qian hadn't even separated yet. The two of them hadn't even graduated from university yet.

At that time, Gu Qian did not know Gu Xi Nian's true identity.

It wasn't enough to say that things were different from people, but a lot of things had happened and people's moods had changed a lot.

"Gu Xi Nian, look, there's a small pier!" The two of them walked along the winding path to the lake, and when they looked at the direction of Gu Qian's hand, they saw a small pier nearby that could be used as a cruise ship.

"See, I'm not lying to you!" I didn't expect to be away for so many years. I remember there was a small boat dock here. " Gu Qian's expression carried a little bit of pride, and he had a 'hurry up and praise me' expression.

"Mm, you're awesome." Gu Xi Nian stretched out his slender and strong hand to touch Gu Qian's hair. Her hair was soft and thick, giving off an extraordinarily good feeling, as if she was stroking a cute and furry little animal. He couldn't help but touch her a few times.

Gu Qian shook his head, shaking off Gu Xi Nian's hand, and angrily ruffled his hair. "Stop playing around, let's go take a ride on the boat!"

Gu Qian extended his hand and grabbed Gu Xi Nian's wrist, pulling him to the small pier.

Gu Qing didn't even realize that he had unknowingly let go of his initial wariness and wariness towards Gu Xi Nian. One thing after another, Gu Xi Nian stood behind her to help her.

There were several boats of different types docked at the pier. Some could ride on ten people, while some could sit on two people alone. Gu Qishao had originally wanted to choose a larger ship with more people, but he didn't expect Gu Xi Nian to glance sideways at him, and just before she was about to make her choice, he lightly said, "Then let's take this boat."

"The ship is bustling with noise and excitement. There are quite a few people waiting for us to get on the ship!" Gu Qian protested unwillingly.

"I like quiet." With that, he stepped into the small boat closest to him. The boatman on the boat stood up and prepared to set off at any moment.

Ignoring Gu Qian's protest, Gu Xi Nian handed his hand over. "Hurry up and come up."

Gu Qian could only obediently place his hand on Gu Xi Nian's warm palm and sit on the boat.

"Xiao Ya'er, sit still! The boat is moving! " The boatman, in his native Suhang dialect, called the two of them children. Gu Qian felt a great sense of familiarity when he heard them.

Gu Xi Nian and Gu Qian stood facing each other on the boat. The boat was slightly shaking, and the surface of the lake was covered with golden ripples due to the sun's care.

The gentle breeze of early summer blew by, bringing with it ripples of water as it slowly moved in one direction. At this moment, time seemed to have slowed down for a long time, and was extremely comfortable.

The grandpa slowly propped up the boat and said, "Little girl, why don't you come with your boyfriend to Hangzhou to play?"

"Elder, I'm from Hangzhou, it's just that I haven't been back for a while …"

"Hangcheng is a good place, look at the water, what other city has such a good scenery in the middle of the city?" Remember to come back often! "

Gu Xi Nian folded his long legs and leaned back comfortably. His long cold and proud handsome face carried a trace of gentleness.

As he listened to the conversation between the boatman and Gu Qian, he suddenly revealed the smile of a child.

"I'll take her back to Hangzhou often." Her soft, pleasant voice had a hint of laziness to it.
