C36 Did You Have Fun?

Seeing Zhu Yu's fear, Lee Qingdong said gently, "Don't worry, I'm very good at swimming."

She looked at the river at her feet and refused to get on board.

Even if he didn't drown, he would probably freeze to death in such a cold day.

"Alright, I'll carry you up."

As he said that, Lee Qingdong was about to reach out his hand, but Zhu Yu was so scared that he immediately stepped back.

Are you kidding? This is the scenery.

If someone saw her, she wouldn't be able to live.

"I … I'm walking by myself, pull me a bit."

Zhu Yu stuttered as she endured her fear and boarded the boat.

Sitting in the boat, she didn't move.

On a small mahogany table, there was a plate of snacks and a pot of wine. Beside the plate were two small wine cups.

Lee Qingdong spoke a few words with the staff member before pulling ship and left.

Judging from his posture, he seemed to be quite the character.

After he pulled the boat far away from the river, they could no longer be seen. Lee Qingdong stopped and let it float on the surface of the river.

He sat down at the table, rubbed his hands together, and poured himself two glasses of wine.

"Good osmanthus wine."

Lee Qingdong first raised his head to do it.

Smelling the additional sweetness of the osmanthus flower on his breath, Zhu Yu also felt hungry. She tried to raise her wine cup and take a sip.

It was neither spicy nor astringent. It was mellow and sweet, and it did carry the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

She drank the rest of her drink, feeling the chill in her lungs as she breathed in and out.

Lee Qingdong laughed, then filled her up again.

Zhu Yu looked at the quiet river and suddenly thought of something.

"Isn't there a performance by the Miss Jing today?"

It was no wonder that Lee Qingdong hadn't returned to her Yuncheng.

"Oh, I forgot."

Who knew, he replied, not giving any face.

Zhu Yu was speechless.

She didn't know what to say, so she simply lowered her head to drink, randomly picking up a few snacks and stuffing them into her mouth.

Surprisingly, they were all delicious.

"I really envy you people that aren't afraid of water."

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Yu still didn't say anything, saving herself from feeling even more awkward.

"When I was a child, I was very afraid of the water because I almost drowned once. It was all thanks to being saved."

As Lee Qingdong held the wine cup, he seemed to recall the experiences of his childhood. His gaze became a little unfocused, and became a lot gentler than usual.

"Ah?" "When is it?"

Zhu Yu rarely heard him talk about her own matters, so she could not help but be curious.

"About four or five, maybe four or four. I don't remember very well. I like to play, I want to catch tadpoles, but I can't swim, thanks to someone to save me. It was said that I was already in a coma, and when I woke up, I vomited a stomach full of muddy water. If it was just a few minutes later, I think I would have died. "

Lee Qingdong said faintly.

"That's scary."

Zhu Yu sighed: "So you only learned to swim afterwards?"

He retracted his gaze, and his tone returned to normal. "Yes, I absolutely will not allow anything that would cause me to feel fear."

Actually, she really wanted to say that in this world, no matter what one was afraid of or feared, it was a very normal thing.

But thinking about the relationship between the two of them, Zhu Yu endured it.

When interacting with others, one was most afraid of speaking too deeply.

Moreover, for a man like Lee Qingdong, he probably didn't like people teaching him.

Zhu Yu stared at the cup in her hand. It was a small cup, but she couldn't tell if it was white porcelain or white glaze.

"Oh right, my computer has a password. How did you open it last night?"

she asked, tilting her head.

"Tsk, you actually used your birthday password? You're too stupid, anyone can open your computer."

Lee Qingdong said in disdain.

He had seen Zhu Yu's ID card before, so he remembered the string of numbers very clearly.

"That's not my birthday. It's the date I was sent to the orphanage. The dean said it was their birthday when the children arrived at the orphanage. "Later, when my parents gave me an account, they wrote about that date."

Zhu Yu lowered her head and said.

He knew that she was adopted by Zhu Family, but Lee Qingdong did not know that it was her birthday.

"You don't know your birthday?"

he asked doubtfully.

"I don't remember. I heard from the dean that when he saw me at the entrance of the orphanage, I was still very young, probably less than two years old. I couldn't even speak clearly."

Zhu Yu drank the wine in her hand in one gulp, pinched another candy in her mouth, and slowly tasted it.

She looked outside. It was quiet without the throngs of tourists.

A small boat came from the opposite direction and stopped a short distance away from them.

Subsequently, a man and a woman wearing costumes stood at the bow of the ship, and the two of them started to babble and sing. Someone nearby pulled the Erhu Sansuo and played the lute as if it was a fresh and spicy live performance.

Zhu Yu supported her cheeks as she listened, only feeling the gentle breeze blowing on her hot face, it was very comfortable.

"I don't understand what they're singing, but I feel very sad."

she said to the man beside her.

"No need to understand, just feel the atmosphere."

Lee Qingdong sipped his wine and closed his eyes. He sat on the mat and started to beat his fingers.

"Hey, I feel like I've been transported to another world!"

Thinking of what her colleague had said this morning, Zhu Yu became excited immediately. Her eyes lit up, and her long black eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.

"Hmm, the ancients will enjoy it."

This time, Lee Qingdong did not refute her, and laughed at her lack of experience.

The atmosphere became even more charming and intimate, Zhu Yu drank another two cups of wine, felt that her entire body was dizzy, and was about to fly into the sky.

Just as she was about to speak, Lee Qingdong's phone rang.

He groped around for his cell phone, saw the caller ID, and his relaxed expression disappeared in an instant.

"Hello."

Zhu Yu squinted her eyes as she looked at Lee Qingdong. saw that his eyebrows were furrowed tightly and her face was tight as if she was angry.

"Who gave him the guts? Stop him! "

After putting down the phone, Lee Qingdong didn't even put on his overcoat and directly rowed the boat to the shore.

"Wait for me here, don't run around."

Before he went ashore, he suddenly remembered that Zhu Yu was still on the boat.

After turning his head and saying a few words, Lee Qingdong left in a hurry.

Zhu Yu sobered up most of the time and watched his back figure disappear.

She waited for about two hours. The river was cold, especially after dawn.

Zhu Yu had no choice but to wrap Lee Qingdong's overcoat around his body.

Her face was buried in the coat, and the uneasiness in her heart was growing.

Half an hour later, a staff member found Zhu Yu.

"Miss, please come up first. The rental time is up."

He turned on the flashlight and said politely.

Zhu Yu looked at her phone, it was almost one o'clock.

Lee Qingdong did not receive any news, so she tried to call him, but his phone was turned off.

Standing on the riverbank of the Inner City, Zhu Yu felt as if she was in an unrealistic dream.

She called a car and went back to the hotel. On the way back, Zhu Yu kept sneezing, attracting the driver's attention.

His colleagues who were living together had just returned from the outside as well, and the two coincidentally bumped into each other in the corridor.

Seeing that Zhu Yu was wearing a man's coat that was worth a lot of money, her colleague mischievously asked, "Are you enjoying yourself?"
