C54 (1/2)

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.
