Flowers in full bloom

Hualei paused, avoided Rong Jin's hand, and smiled softly, "My grandfather often took me on a boat ride when I was a child, I can do it alone." As she spoke, she lifted her skirt slightly, took a few steps, and walked to the bow. She then walked directly along the two-foot-wide board in the middle of the boat to the middle platform and sat down next to Zhenzhu.

At this time, Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan had also stood in the cabin, fiddling with their fishing rods on the side of the boat. Rong Jin pursed his lips, withdrew his hand, and was the last one to get on the boat. He told the boatman to start the boat.

The boatman rowed slowly, and the boat cut through waves on the water and moved forward slowly.

The boys in the cabin were already shouting excitedly, "It's moving, the fish is on the hook, pull it up quickly." The nine-year-old Pei Rongchen urged his half-brother Rongzhen impatiently, not thinking that it was the ripples created by the moving ship, and thought that the fish was on the hook.

Pei Rongzhen followed the instructions and hurriedly picked up the fishing rod, but of course the fishing rod was empty.

"Oh, why is it gone? Is it because you lifted it too slowly and the fish escaped?" Rong Chen asked suspiciously.

"I think I mentioned it very quickly." Rong Chen defended himself.

"Why not?" Rong Chen didn't believe it.

"No, the fish didn't bite the hook. Look, the bait on the hook is still there." Xiaoyuan next to him interrupted.

"Really?" Rong Chen pulled over the fishing rod and looked at the hook carefully, "It's really there." As he said that, he threw the hook back into the water and started a new round of waiting.

During this period, people around me would often shout that a fish had been hooked, then someone would frantically lift the rod, and there would be anxious onlookers behind them.

Of course, most of the hooks were on water plants, and few caught fish. It is unlikely to catch fish when fishing on a moving boat.

Seeing the chaos in the cabin, Hualei couldn't help but laugh. Xiaoyuan and Rongjue looked like they would not give up until they caught some fish, so Hualei ignored them and let them have fun on their own.

At this time, only Zhenzhu, Hualei, and Pei Feicui were sitting on the platform. Several young ladies had already run into the cabin and followed the brothers to join in the fun.

Rong Jin took out some food from a wooden cabinet next to him, including a plate of lotus cake, a plate of rose rolls, a large chilled watermelon, and some chilled drinks.

Qingzao, who was standing next to them, saw this and came over to help cut the watermelon and put it on the bowl. Qingsheng also divided the drinks into small cups and placed them there.

"Wow, big brother, you prepared so much. I'm thirsty." Zhenzhu shouted happily, took the drink from Rong Jin and took a big sip, "It tastes good, so comfortable."

When the boys in the cabin heard that there was food, they rushed over.

Feicui saw many people waiting to be fed, so she stood up and helped pass drinks and watermelons to the guys in the cabin. Rong Jin brought a drink over and handed it to Hualei.

Hualei smiled and reached out to take it. She held the cup but was unable to take the drink. She only felt her little finger being pinched by two fingers with distinct knuckles.

It turned out that Rong Jin was holding the lower half of the cup with his hand, and when he took the drink, he naturally went to take the upper half of the cup. His slightly raised little finger fell between Rong Jin's empty index finger and middle finger. Rong Jin exerted a little force, and Hua bud's little finger was clamped like a cigarette.

Hualei was startled and exerted a little force with her hand, and the cup moved an inch towards her, but her little finger remained motionless.

Hua Lei raised her eyes and saw Rong Jin's deep eyes staring at her without blinking, with the corners of his lips slightly pursed, as if he was aggrieved, accusing, or even requesting.

Hualei pulled her little finger away, but didn't pull it out.

She glared at him, and in an instant, she saw the smile in Rong Jin's eyes spread out like ripples created by a boat on the surface of the river, circle after circle, and when kissed by the warm sunshine, it emitted infinite luster, blinding Huabud's titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

Hua Lei narrowed her eyes and turned her head slightly to avoid Rong Jin's gaze. She wanted to let go of the cup, but the cup was put back in her hand and her little finger was also released.

Hualei took the cup, lowered her head, and took a small sip. The sour and sweet taste filled her entire mouth, and then went straight down her throat, filling her entire chest.

Rong Jin gently stroked his index and middle fingers, as if he still felt the soft little finger. The delicate touch was like... Rong Jin couldn't describe it. He just wanted to hold her all the time and never let go.

"Sister Hua, were you hurt this morning?" Rong Jin sat down opposite Hua Lei and asked softly.

"How come you're not hurt? There's a red spot there. Maybe there will be a bruise tomorrow." Pearl, who was standing next to her, put down the drink in her hand and said angrily.

"I really don't understand. How could she trip in broad daylight, and the road was paved with bluestone bricks? It would have been fine if she just tripped, but Chunhua followed behind, empty-handed, and she even took the teapot and tray herself. It's really weird."

Hualei pushed Zhenzhu's arm and said, "Don't worry about it. There are many people who trip on flat roads. It's nothing strange." She turned her head and said calmly without looking at Rong Jin, "Don't listen to Zhenzhu's nonsense. It's okay."

Rong Jin sat there, looking at the flower bud that lowered its head slightly, in silence. No matter if Sister Hua was avoiding him or had no choice, as long as he could see her from time to time, he would work hard and wait patiently, waiting for her to come of age and for spring to come.

At this moment, Hualei felt a little breathless. You could say she was inferior and cowardly, or she was playing hard to get, but she suddenly wanted to escape.

She knows that she doesn't deserve this relationship now, she can't have this relationship, she doesn't want this relationship, and she feels she doesn't deserve this relationship.

The sourness in her heart once again swayed, making Hualei feel a little uncomfortable.

As the cruise ship turned, she stood up, walked to the railing on the other side, leaned against the railing and looked into the distance.

The green lotus leaves are crowded together, and the breeze blows the disc-shaped lotus leaves over from time to time.

After the wind passed, the overturned lotus leaves reluctantly forced their way back to their original shape by the stems underneath, leaving only faint creases there.

"Sister Hua, we can pick lotus pods in a while. How about we come again?" Zhenzhu looked so happy with a carefree look.

"Well, we'll see if we have time then?" Hualei said with a smile. She really envied Zhenzhu, who always looked carefree and happy. Only girls who grew up in a honeypot would be like this, right?

Think about myself, I am one year younger than Pearl, and I have to consider more things and encounter more troubles than her. Alas! You can't compare yourself to others. Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry.

Forget it, forget it, don't think about it anymore. I have lived an extra life, which is not something that everyone can earn. Hualei changed her mind and felt relieved.
