Chapter 741 - 750: Night Outing (4)
The usual Jian Anning was always cool and composed, seemingly decisive and measured in everything she did. Rarely did one see her eyes sparkle with the excitement and anticipation of a young girl, as if the starlight from the heavens had entered her gaze, shimmering with brilliance!
Jian Anning nodded. Of course she wanted to; anyone present who saw such a wonderful scene would be involuntarily attracted, wouldn’t they?
But such a place wasn’t accessible to everyone. Not to mention anything else, just take the small island in the center of the lake. It was now midnight, and there were absolutely no boats. Was she expected to swim over?
"If I were to take you there, what reward would you give me?" Yu Zexiao glanced at her, his teasing smile clearly indicating he was joking.
"Reward?" Jian Anning didn’t take him seriously. Houhu did have boat tour companies, but they only operated during the day.
Moreover, that small island seemed to be a historic site, and ordinarily people weren’t allowed to visit. Even during the day, you couldn’t get there by boat, let alone at night when there wasn’t a single boat available. How could it be possible to get to the island?
Since it was an empty promise, she could naturally say anything she liked: "Well then, whatever you say it is, it is!"
"Alright then," Yu Zexiao said cheerily, and he truly took her hand—but he led her back the way they had come. Jian Anning naturally didn’t take it seriously and leisurely strolled along with him, only to find that when they were beside his car, he pulled her straight in the other direction!
"Zexiao, our car is back there; we’ve walked past it!" Jian Anning was very puzzled, thinking he had taken the wrong path, and quickly spoke up.
Yu Zexiao nodded, "I know."
While saying this, he continued to walk on. Now Jian Anning was a bit confused. Did he want to stroll some more? She didn’t think too much and accompanied him for another stretch. At a bend in the waterway, he suddenly led her toward the lakeside.
