Chapter 85: The Strange Physiognomist (1)_1
Excitement? Why would she see excitement? Anyone who saw the scene unfolding before them would show surprise and shock; only in the old man’s eyes did she perceive a wholly different excitement.
Zhuge Feng’s watery eyes were filled with utter astonishment and disbelief. He was absolutely certain that the lake was undergoing some abnormal change, not simply leaking because a drain had come loose.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please don’t worry," the manager began, nodding after Zhuge Feng gave him a subtle signal. "The reason the water is draining so quickly is because the drain at the bottom of the lake has loosened. We regularly change the water in this small lake, and since the drain has loosened, the water is continuously flowing into the drainage system beneath."
Some people, however, didn’t accept this explanation and continued to take photos with their phones.
The manager continued, "So please don’t worry. It’s quite normal for a drain to come loose. You can enjoy the scenery by the lake, or you can continue your meal inside. When enough of the water has drained, everyone will be able to see the drain at the bottom of the lake. To facilitate cleaning, the drain was built larger than usual, which is why you’re seeing a whirlpool. There’s no need for panic."
Upon hearing the manager’s explanation, the surprised onlookers gradually began to show signs of understanding. Indeed, now that he had mentioned it, the whirlpool in the lake’s center did resemble one caused by a drainage outlet.
"Girl, why are you all wet?" A gentle voice sounded, and Shangguan Qing’s tall figure soon shielded Shangguan You. He looked at her drenched state, her hair sticking to her forehead, a look of distress flashing across his handsome face.
"Youyou, did you fall into the lake?" Gui Mo’s voice also joined in. He stared at the disheveled Shangguan You, his eyes widening, especially upon seeing the beige coat she wore, his gaze constantly sweeping between her and Zhuge Feng.
