Chapter 296 - Creating Opportunity (1/2)

Song Xuantin opened her arms wide. With the biggest smile she ever made, she presented the beautiful scenery behind her.

”Tada! We are here! Hehe~”

Gu Zhen, whose eyes stayed far away from Song Xuantin all this time, unconsciously looked at the view in front of him.

He suddenly stopped in his steps, stunned at the scenery.

There were different kinds of colorful pastel flowers scattered on the meadows swaying softly in waves with the mountain breeze. The crystalline lake mirrored the clear sky above very distinctly, as if there was an alternate world right below the lake. He could see butterflies flying freely from time to time. There were squirrels burrowing for food which scampered away after watching them. Small birds peacefully flew to and fro, unafraid of their presence.

This was really a lovely place. A paradise. It truly was worth it, walking almost a kilometer from the lakeside in front of the rest house to this side.

The city man who only saw such beautiful sceneries in pictures was fully impacted by the firsthand view of the beauty of nature.

It was such a moving sight.

”How... how did you find this place?” Gu Zhen asked in wonder as he gazed around at the surroundings with wide eyes.

The girl stiffened.

She could not possibly say it was because of her Operation Plan, could she?

”Uhm... Well, by instinct?” In reality, Song Xuantin already checked F City's landmarks one week before the trip. She repeatedly scouted recommendations of beautiful places to have a romantic date with Gu Zhen with the best ambiance.

This was the first place on her list.

”Instinct? I doubt that,” Gu Zhen murmured.

Song Xuantin went nearer to him and he ended up looking at her.

Her eyes were shining and she had a bright smile on her face as she stood in front of him. She was so dazzling and blinding that Gu Zhen could not help but step back nervously.

Song Xuantin was surprised seeing him step back. She pouted and harrumphed cutely.

”Give it to me.” She extended her hand.

”Give you what?” His heart? He already handed it.

'Dang, why do you keep on thinking of that, Gu Zhen, ah?' Goosebumps rose again.

”The bag.” Song Xuantin eyed the bag.

”Oh.”

Gu Zhen handed the bag to Song Xuantin.

Song Xuantin fished out a blanket from the bag. She laid it over the soft grass. Afterwards, she took out several food boxes. Inside, there were different snacks like sliced fruits, pastries, and sandwiches. She also took out two bottles of orange juice and two bottles of water.

There were also mosquito repellants and other stuff.

”...”

Now, Gu Zhen knew why the bag was so heavy.

Finally, Song Xuantin took out the last content of the bag. It was a romance book.

Song Xuantin put it down with a smile and looked up at him lovingly.

She patted the space right beside her. ”Now, it's all settled. Gu Zhen, let's have a picnic.”

”...” So they went here for a picnic?

That important 'thing' she was talking about that needed the right place and good ambience was this PICNIC?

Gu Zhen's expectant heart which was still hoping for someone's confession received a huge blow.
