Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 428: The Wind Blowing from Suiye City

The next morning, Xu Chen was awakened by the clear morning light of Kuncheng.

He reached out and touched around him, but there was no trace of the rich woman.

It's really hard to get a hug when you really need one, but you can't.

Xu Chen lay on the place where Xie Bingran had slept, buried his head in the pillow, and sniffed very hard.

……

Xu Chen got up in a bad mood, washed, changed his clothes and went straight to the gym.

Sure enough, I saw Brother Bing who had just finished training.

"I thought you wanted to sleep a little longer." Xie Bingran said.

She had earphones on her ears, and the iPod connected to the earphones was the one Xu Chen gave her.

Xu Chen: “Is it useful?”

Xie Bingran: "It's very useful."

As she said that, she didn't show any intention of discussing it and just snuggled into Xu Chen's arms.

Xu Chen's heart softened instantly.

The anger I had originally felt disappeared in an instant.

While he hugged Xie Bingran, he couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.

"I'm sweating..." Xie Bingran showed a hint of embarrassment.

"I like it." Xu Chen smiled.

"Brother Bing gets up too early every day."

"I'm used to it. I usually get up at 6 o'clock to start training."

"Let's go and fill the little foodie's stomach."

……

A few minutes later, in the cafeteria.

Xu Chen asked the chef to cook a small pot of beef rice noodles, and he found that he really liked it.

Brother Bing, however, still eats eggs, corn, milk, and steamed buns as usual, and his diet is extremely clean.

"Today I'll take you to Dianchi Lake, and then we can drive around it."

Xie Bingran: “Yeah.”

……

……

When the car drove to the shore of Dianchi Lake, Xie Bingran rolled down the window and was still a little shocked by the scenery outside.

"Isn't this a plateau? Why is there a sea?"

Xu Chen: "Strictly speaking, it should be a plateau lake, but it is so large that it looks like a sea."

The cool wind outside the car window ruffled Xie Bingran's short hair.

She blinked her big eyes and looked up:

“But there are still a lot of seagulls!”

Xu Chen turned his head and took a look, thinking that although Sister Bing usually looked cold, she was still a little girl after all.

Seeing these new things, I still can’t hide my curiosity and excitement.

……

The shoreline of Dianchi Lake is more than 160 kilometers.

Haigeng Dam is located directly north of the entire Dianchi Lake.

In the morning light, this is the best place to watch seagulls.

Xu Chen parked the car in a nearby parking lot, turned off the engine and pulled the handbrake.

He turned to look at the rich woman and took out a new big black mask from the back seat of the car.

Xie Bingran reached out to take it, but Xu Chen smiled and said:
"I'll help you put it on..."

He used his left hand to push the hair on her right cheek behind her ear, and carefully hung the mask strap on her beautiful ear.

Xie Bingran blinked her big eyes, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

Xu Chen found it a little funny, and kissed her soft little lips when she wasn't paying attention.

Then he helped her put on the entire mask with a wicked smile on his face.

……

The two got out of the car and walked towards the dam hand in hand.

Kuncheng is indeed not cold, it is warm and livable.

Xu Chen thought of something, smiled and turned to look at Xie Bingran.

"What's wrong?" Xie Bingran said.

Xu Chen: "I think the climate here is pretty good."

Xie Bingran: "And then?"

Xu Chen: "If you like this place, I will buy a house here in the future...

We can spend the winter together.”

Xie Bingran blinked and thought for a while, but said very seriously:

"If you like it, I'll buy it!"

Xu Chen said jokingly:

"Yeah, I don't have as much money as that rich little lady!"

As he said this, he put his arm around Brother Bing's shoulders.

……

The morning light shines and the breeze blows gently.

The surface of Dianchi Lake was sparkling, the dam was crowded with people, and seagulls were flying in the sky.

There were vendors selling goods on both sides of the road. When they saw Xu Chen and Xie Bingran coming, they asked:
"Want some bread? For the seagulls!"

Xu Chen walked over, spent twenty yuan, and bought two packs.

……

There are not many tourists on the Haigeng Dam.

Xu Chen recalled that when he came here in his previous life around 2017, there were almost people standing shoulder to shoulder.

There were not many people at this time, so it was a better experience.

Seagulls are flying all over the sky, a sea of white.

Xie Bingran looked up. This little girl who grew up in the northern inland area naturally found it fresh and new.

"This is too much, more than what we saw in the Persian Gulf in Doha." Xie Bingran said.

Xu Chen crushed a piece of bread and threw it onto the water in front of him. In an instant, dozens of seagulls rushed over to grab the food, not leaving out a single piece.

He handed another bag of bread to Xie Bingran.

"These seagulls all flew over from Li Bai's hometown."

Xie Bingran looked confused: "Li Bai's hometown?"

Xu Chen looked at the vast water in the early morning:
"Yes.

It is said that these seagulls all fly over from Lake Baikal in Siberia to spend the winter.

Brother Bing obviously didn't know the reason: "What does it have to do with Li Bai?"

Xu Chen: "There is a saying that Li Bai was born on the shore of Lake Baikal, in a place called Suiye City."

Xie Bingran thought for a moment and said, "Suiye City... this name sounds nice."

Brother Bing picked up a loaf of bread.

Instead of throwing it, she raised her arm and held the bread in the air.

A few seagulls circled overhead twice and then began to descend tentatively.

After trying a few times, it finally mustered up the courage, fluttered its pure white wings, and hovered beside Brother Bing's hand.

Grab that delicious piece of bread.

Xie Bingran looked up.

The breeze from Dianchi Lake gently ruffled her hair.

Her big eyes reflected the morning light, sparkling and clear...

Xu Chen quickly pressed the shutter in his mind.

He also remembered the name "Suiye City".

Li Bai, who was born in Suiye City, was full of heroic spirit, but he also had a sense of frustration and fragmentation under the prosperous dynasty.

Bing is also a girl who possesses both "lofty heroic spirit" and "broken beauty".

But there is still an essential difference between him and Li Bai.

Fortunately,...

Xie Bingran, who has already become the "Asian Female Flyer", will definitely not experience the so-called "frustrated" life.

……

Suddenly there were more tourists around me, all of them were here to see the seagulls.

Young couples, classmates traveling together, parents with their children...

Someone was throwing bread crumbs onto the water, and suddenly there was a gust of wind.

The strong wind blew two pieces of bread crumbs and flew towards Xu Chen's face.

at the same time.

The seagull, which had been chasing food, stretched out its claws and grabbed Xu Chen's face!
Xu Chen's eyes flashed and he immediately felt the danger, but it was too late to dodge.

Brother Bing was quick-witted and slapped him in the face...

The poor seagull didn't even hear a scream before Brother Bing swung it away with a "whoosh".

It stumbled in mid-air, and before it nearly fell into the water, it finally adjusted its shape, fluttering its wings and leaping back into the air...

Xie Bingran looked at Xu Chen anxiously.

They both asked at the same time:
"Are you okay?!"

Xu Chen felt a little itchy on his face.

Xie Bingran raised her hand and picked two white feathers from his face.

Xu Chen smiled awkwardly: "I'm fine."

He grabbed Xie Bingran's hand again, looked it over carefully from front to back and up to bottom, and found that there was no injury.

I have lingering fears.

……

Xie Bingran was held by the hand by Xu Chen and looked at, and heaved a sigh of relief with some fear.

Xu Chen joked:

"I feel so ashamed to always be protected by Brother Bing."

Xie Bingran narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of anger:
"Then you should be careful."

Xu Chen: “Oh.”

He held Xie Bingran's hand and was unwilling to let go.

Reflected by the ripples on the water, Xu Chen saw some small, white old scars on the soft hand again.

That is the mark of "Brother Bing".

Xu Chen couldn't help but smile.

I thought to myself that it was fortunate that the danger was caused by the gust of wind. If it was some ignorant young man, I'm afraid I would have been dealt with by Brother Bing...

He also felt a little distressed and soft-hearted, so he pulled Xie Bingran's arm and held her in his arms.

……

……

It's approaching noon.

Xu Chen drove the rich woman to the "Guan Du Ancient Town" on the east bank of Dianchi Lake.

It is also one of the must-see attractions in Kuncheng, and it is the prosperous "official ship ferry" that has existed since the Tang and Song dynasties.

And Xu Chen brought the little foodie here mainly to find food.

After parking the car, the two of them strolled into the ancient town.

There are quaint arcades and many shops.

Just take a walk and you will see Buddhist temples.

Xu Chen flipped through the booklet he got from the entrance and found out that it was called "Six Temples, Seven Pavilions, and Eight Temples."

It was a rare vacation for both of them to be together, and they did not have a specific destination in mind for the trip, but mainly just wandered around and sightseeed.

I saw a temple that I thought was nice, so I went in to pay my respects.

Occasionally, there is a pavilion suitable for resting, so I go in and sit down...

"are you hungry?"

"It's okay. I ate too much this morning."

"Then just find something to eat."

"Ah."

……

I smelled a sweet aroma from afar and asked the owner about it. It turned out to be a small cake specializing in Yunnan Province called "Guan Du Baba".

It looks quite similar to the sesame seed cakes in the north.

Xu Chen thought it was interesting, so he bought a freshly baked one, which was steaming hot.

Worried that Brother Bing wouldn't be able to eat it, he broke it open and tasted the ingredients.

"Sesame seeds, peanuts, and walnuts should be fine."

Then he broke off a large piece and stuffed it into Xie Bingran's little mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

Xie Bingran's little cheeks puffed up, making her look very cute.

"Um……"

After walking around for a while, I saw someone selling tofu pudding.

Xie Bingran took a look and frowned as if he was very scared.

"What's wrong?" Xu Chen asked.

"Add sugar... There's even spicy flavor..."

Xu Chen laughed out loud.

Both of them have northern tastes, and they only eat salty tofu pudding in Tiancheng.

Xu Chen: “The spicy taste is indeed a bit too much.

But the sweet ones can actually be tasted..."

Xu Chen ordered a small bowl of sweet tofu pudding, and added red beans, peanuts and mangoes.

The small bowl was placed in front of Xie Bingran. The little foodie frowned and was hesitant to pick up the small spoon.

Xu Chen smiled and said, “It’s actually not bad, you can eat it as a dessert.

If you go to the Wandao, you will probably eat it this way too."

"..."

The little foodie refused on the surface, but was urged by Xu Chen to try two bites, and he really couldn't stop.

Xu Chen found it funny, so he snatched the food from her mouth again and took half a bowl from her.

……

After eating snacks and desserts, I went to have some main course.

It is said to be the most authentic Yunnan rice noodles in Guandu Ancient Town.

The shrimp rice noodles are from Xie Bingran, and the small pot of minced pork rice noodles are from Xu Chen.

Xie Bingran was holding his phone, seemingly replying to a message.

Xu Chen: "Is it Su Rong again?"

Xie Bingran: "It's Coach Cheng, asking me about my schedule for today..."

Xu Chen's cell phone also kept ringing.

I took a quick look and saw that they were all messages from the college and class groups.

Perhaps the topic was still hotly discussed at the "Grand Advertising Contest" and the "Great Wall Award", and Xu Chen, as the one being congratulated, was too lazy to click on it.

Gu Xinxin sent several messages individually.

Xu Chen took a look and saw that it was a brief report on the launch of the "Spring Calling" project.

This project involves the officials of Yichun City. Perhaps due to their communication habits, they did not set up a special online project group. Instead, Gu Xinxin and Jiao Tianbo were directly connecting with Director Lou Ting of the Yichun Publicity Department.

[Boss, the topic of "moaning" has already started.

At present, heated discussions have begun on the BBS forum in Yichun City.

It’s very popular and controversial, and there are many negative voices...】

Xu Chen: [This is all expected, don’t panic.

Just follow the steps and all the plans have been made. 】

Gu Xinxin: [I understand, boss. But I think Director Lou Ting seems a little panicked.]

Xu Chen thought for a while: [Tell Jiao Tianbo and ask him to calm down.

Everything is rehearsed in advance and has follow-up steps and plans.

At this time, we must stick to the plan and not let some negative voices ruin the original rhythm...

The topic has just been launched and is still limited to Yichun City. We must wait until it has gained popularity across the entire network before we can start harvesting topics. 】

Gu Xinxin: [Okay, I understand.]

Xu Chen: [Let Jiao Tianbo go and comfort and communicate with her first.

If it really doesn't work, tell me and we can set up a conference call then. 】

Gu Xinxin: [Okay! ]

……

Xu Chen has experienced many projects and naturally knows some of the variables in the execution process.

Especially for a project like "Calling for Spring", which is taking advantage of the heat of public opinion, it is necessary to keep a steady footing and proceed step by step in the process.

What we are afraid of is that our own people panic first, and then make chaotic operations which disrupt the rhythm.

Although Jiao Tianbo's professional ability is limited, his private relationship with Director Lou Ting is solid.

At the same time, he has a relatively calm personality, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to appease Lou Ting.

……

Xu Chen put down his phone and found that Xie Bingran was still replying to messages.

"Why does it take so long to report to Coach Cheng?"

Xu Chen said jokingly.

Xie Bingran typed a message and said:

"Coach Cheng said there's a small competition and he might want me to participate."

Xu Chen: "You didn't want to participate originally?"

Xie Bingran nodded:
"After the Asian Games, Coach Sun originally planned to only participate in important competitions in the future.

I occasionally participate in small competitions to get familiar with the venue and maintain my form. "

Xu Chen smiled: "Where? When?"

Xie Bingran: “It’s not clear yet, Coach Cheng just said that we talked about it in the meeting today.

The earliest it will be is next month..."

She calculated the time and continued:
“The Chinese New Year is next month.

You don’t have to come to watch the small competition. I just participate casually and may not run at full speed. "

Xu Chen: "Okay, then let's check the time."

He paused:

“What are the big games coming up?”
