Chapter 85: Boating Under Peach Blossom Night Sky
"We’re going to... boating?"
Leslie blinked, unable to believe what Calix’s impromptu plan was.
"This park has a river. We can go boating," Calix took off his tie before unbuttoning the two top buttons of his shirt, exposing the base of his front neck, "Come. Stop thinking about that woman."
"That sounds good," Leslie’s smile widened, already imagining what a beautiful scenery it would be, "But, people will see you boating alone. Wanna be called a loner?"
"Ignore them. I’ll wear it as a pretense so I can talk to you. Even if people see me talking, they’ll think I’m on a phone call."
Calix grabbed something from the glove box, a pair of earbuds with a short strap. The black strap nestled at the back of his neck as it connected the earbuds.
"Genius," Leslie chuckled.
"I am," replied Calix, earning more laughter from Leslie.
Calix and Leslie stepped out of the car, seeing people around them. The time was little over seven in the evening.
Many couples strolled in the park, enjoying their intimate time under the silvery moonlight. The pinkish hues cast by the swaying peach blossom trees added more depth to their romantic night stroll.
"The rental’s over there," Calix gestured in a direction with a tilt of his chin, "Before you start asking, I was dragged here when Xander wanted to surprise Violet with boating. That’s why I know."
