Chapter 511: Token of Love
Morning.
8:30 AM.
At the main entrance of Summer Palace.
Today's weather was extremely good with the sun reflecting off the water and streaming through the leaves of trees. The signs of spring could be seen even though spring had not yet arrived. There were many visitors outside the park as a lot of local and foreign visitors had gathered at the main entrance area. They were either buying food, waiting for people, or lining up to buy tickets.
”Who needs a tour guide?”
”Mineral water, two dollars for one bottle.”
”You need tickets? You can get it for a third cheaper here than the ticketing office.”
There were many black market tour guides and ticket scalpers who made the main entrance area even more lively.
After parking the car, Wu Zeqing and Zhang Ye walked over to the main entrance. Old Wu's nude-colored heels clicked as she walked and her stunning, long qipao attracted countless eyes. Many of the visitors turned their heads swiftly; some of the foreigners even had to look several times, attracted by her beauty. Cla.s.sic beauty, gentleness, and dignified looks—these were the ideals of traditional beauty in China. Whether in ancient or modern times, Old Wu was the most good-looking and was the type who all men would wish to marry. Everywhere she went, she would grab the attention of others and leave them amazed.
”F**k!”
”What a beauty!”
”She's so G.o.dd.a.m.n beautiful!”
”This person might as well have just walked out of a masterpiece painting!”
”What a pity. She's wearing sungla.s.ses and we can't see her eyes.”
Some of the park visitors were pointing at and softly discussing her.
But the sungla.s.ses-wearing Wu Zeqing did not have any reaction at all. She took her coat from Zhang Ye's arms and put it on as they walked side by side.
Zhang Ye felt like showing off!
Beautiful, right?
She is this bro's girlfriend!
”Old Wu, wait for me here. I'll go get the tickets,” Zhang Ye said.
Wu Zeqing held him back at his shoulders and said, ”Let Big Sis go.”
Zhang Ye exclaimed, ”Why are you still being so polite with me? Aren't we already boyfriend and girlfriend?”
Hearing that, Wu Zeqing smiled and said, ”OK then.”
After Zhang Ye bought the tickets, and both he and Old Wu entered the park. The park was abuzz with visitors today and since it was so crowded, no one really noticed the two of them.
Zhang Ye said, ”Ever since I started working, I've been busy as h.e.l.l and have not managed to come to Summer Palace anymore. The last time I was here was with my hostel mates during the second year of university.”
Wu Zeqing said as she gazed gently at Kunming Lake. ”I've not been here in years either. Come to think of it, I mostly visited this place as a kid, so all of this seems pretty nostalgic to me now.”
The two of them walked on.
As it was winter break, there were still many university students who had not started their school year yet. Around them were a lot of young university couples holding hands and strolling around the lake. They were the envy of those around them.
Zhang Ye stole a glance at Old Wu as his hand slowly moved over. When they were in the car earlier, he had gone with the flow and held Old Wu's hand when she had placed it on his thigh, but now while walking around and with so many people around them, even if Zhang Ye wanted to hold her hand, he felt rather embarra.s.sed to do it.
The back of their hands knocked against each other.
Once.
Twice.
Zhang Ye still did not hold her hand after a prolonged internal struggle.
But when Wu Zeqing turned her head to face him, she curved one corner of her mouth upward and gracefully moved her hand over and grabbed Zhang Ye's hand.
The palm of his hand was warmed by Old Wu's soft and jadelike hand.
