Chapter 048 Date Day 3

The two sat leisurely on the picnic mat.

Xia Jingchu turned his head to look into Su Youzi's eyes and said seriously.

"Actually, I've always felt that the most important thing when two people are together is the feeling."

"Feeling?" Su Youzi tilted her head, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, cooperating with the look of a curious child.

"It feels like, in an instant, you realize that the person in front of you perfectly matches the scene you've imagined countless times in your mind." Xia Jingchu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling some beautiful image.

"Yes, you're right!" Su Youzi nodded vigorously in agreement.

A gust of wind blew by, and Su Youzi's long hair fluttered. She covered her head with the woven hat and smiled brightly.

She picked up the kite, turned to Xia Jingchu, and extended an invitation.

Let's go fly a kite!

Xia Jingchu nodded in agreement, a smile slowly spreading across her lips.

Su Youzi got up from the picnic mat, patted her skirt, and then ran briskly towards the small hill not far away.

Her silhouette cast a long shadow in the sunlight, radiating vitality.

Xia Jingchu's gaze followed her gently the whole time, a sweet feeling welling up in his heart.

I quickened my pace, jogging all the way, and my heart rate increased.

Running all the way to the top of the hill, the vast blue sky and boundless greenery intertwine to create a magnificent landscape painting.

Su Youzi stopped and turned to look at Xia Jingchu.

Do you know how to fly a kite?

"meeting."

"Teach me~" Su Youzi smiled and handed the kite to Xia Jingchu.

"Come on, hold your hand like this, that's right, straighten the line." Xia Jingchu stood behind Su Youzi, holding her hand and teaching her how to control the kite.

"And then?" she blinked, feigning ignorance.

"Then, run against the wind, laying out the line as you run." Xia Jingchu patiently explained, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Su Youzi nodded.

"Then I'm running!" she called out sweetly, like a cheerful lark, pulling on the kite string and running against the wind.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed her in a golden glow.

Xia Jingchu stood still, his gaze fixed on her figure, as if she were the only person left in the whole world.

As the kite soared higher and higher, Su Youzi deliberately loosened her grip on the string.

"Ah, my kite!" she exclaimed, her face full of frustration and disappointment.

Xia Jingchu quickly ran over and picked up the kite that had fallen to the ground.

"It's okay, I'll help you fly it one more time," he comforted gently.

Su Youzi shook her head, her eyes glistening with tears.

"No need, I'm too clumsy, I can't even fly a kite properly," she said softly, her voice filled with disappointment.

Looking at her lonely figure, Xia Jingchu felt a strong urge to protect her.

"Everyone has their own area of expertise. Don't let a temporary setback make you doubt yourself. Your potential extends far beyond this."

As he spoke, he placed the kite spool back into her palm and said softly:

"Come on, let's try again together."

Su Youzi nodded, gripping the spool tightly.

As summer begins, I run against the wind, and kites rise with it.

Flying higher and higher, flying farther and farther...

"Wow! It's flying so high!" Su Youzi exclaimed.

Xia Jingchu returned to her side, and the two looked up at the same sky.

As the sun sets, the clouds are dyed a brilliant orange-red, like a richly colored oil painting.

"How beautiful..." Su Youzi exclaimed, gazing up at the sunset on the horizon.

Xia Jingchu's gaze fell on her delicate profile.

"Yes, it's beautiful," he whispered in agreement, his gaze so tender it seemed to melt anyone's heart.

Su Youzi turned her head and met his affectionate gaze.

"Tell me, what is love?" she suddenly asked, her tone earnest yet bewildered.

Xia Jingchu was slightly taken aback; the question came too suddenly and caught him off guard.

He paused for a moment, pondering the question seriously.

“Love…” he began slowly, his tone tinged with uncertainty, “Love is probably wanting to be with someone forever, wanting to give them all the good things in life.”

Su Youzi smiled, a smile full of charm.

"Really? But is there really anything in this world that is eternal and unchanging?" she asked softly, her tone filled with doubt and confusion.

Xia Jingchu looked at her with a firm and serious gaze.

“I believe I do,” he said firmly. “At least, I do.”

Su Youzi was stunned.

She looked up and met his deep eyes.

At that moment, she was actually a little moved.

[Damn it, something's wrong with me, I'm actually starting to like them.]

[Help! Jingchu looks at Su Youzi with such deep affection in his eyes...]

This part is straight out of an idol drama!!!

[I'm increasingly conflicted; I want to ship them, but I'm afraid to...]

[Jingchu, how come you have no tea-tasting skills! You can't fall for it! You can't just look at someone's face!!]

[Blind guess: this couple has an 80% chance of getting together.]

...

As the last rays of the setting sun gradually disappeared into the horizon, the streetlights in the park lit up one by one, making the paths in the night even more romantic.

Xia Jingchu and Su Youzi sat on a soft picnic mat, enjoying the food Su Youzi had prepared, their laughter drifting gently in the night breeze.

The staff reminded us it was time to go back to our cabin.

Xia Jingchu checked the time.

I wish I could stay a little longer on this beautiful night.

However, he firmly believes that there is plenty of time in the future.

"Let's go back."

"Okay." Su Youzi nodded obediently.

Xia Jingchu tidied up the remaining food and tableware by herself.

After tidying up, the two left the park.

"I'm really happy today," Su Youzi said softly.

She was genuinely quite happy; compared to Huo Jia and Li Bingcheng, she felt more at ease with Xia Jingchu.

"Me too." Xia Jingchu's smile never faded.
