Actually, she shouldn’t have said these things to Su Zhengxing. After all, he was the person she was trying to win over, so she should have tried to choose topics that he was interested in, instead of talking about things that she herself didn’t understand.
Perhaps it was because of their time together that Lin Qiao had unconsciously come to regard him as someone familiar and trustworthy, which was why she revealed her deepest thoughts to him.
Coincidentally, Su Zhengxing had also asked himself this question before. Ever since he could remember, his life had only consisted of moving forward.
At the orphanage, in order to gain the favor of the dean and teachers and be given priority in being recommended to families who were willing to adopt him, he deliberately showed off his academic talent in front of others to prove that he was valuable.
After being adopted by Chairman Qin, he was very clear about his role in the Qin family, so he never dared to stop and worked hard to become more outstanding, all so that Chairman Qin could see his value and protect his place in the family.
And now, he is still moving forward, only uncertain of the destination.
“Stop…” He murmured, his thoughts drifting away.
“Can it really stop?”
“We’re here!”
A cheerful voice interrupted his thoughts; as they spoke, they had already reached the boat’s starting point.
Because it’s a popular attraction, the line for the boat is long. Just as Lin Qiao was worrying that she might not be able to catch a boat, another familiar female voice rang out.
“Miss Lin, Mr. Su!”
Shen Ruxing waved to them from the boat line up ahead.
Lin Qiao’s first reaction was: Why is she here again? Why is she everywhere?
“I told you, she’s the one he’s destined to fall in love with.” Su Zhengxing reminded her in her mind.
“Destined lovers, huh? I’ve finally seen how likely this chance encounter is.” Lin Qiao grumbled inwardly.
“What a coincidence! You’re here for the boat ride, too?” Seeing familiar faces in an unfamiliar place, Shen Ruxing happily stepped out of the group and approached them.
“But I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you. You need to make reservations in advance to ride the boat. I just found out when I arrived.”
Shen Ruxing wore a light beige coat today, paired with a Klein blue turtleneck sweater and a beret of the same color, exuding an artistic temperament.
She seemed disappointed, lowering her head slightly, her beautiful peach blossom eyes drooping. The river breeze blew, ruffling her long hair over her shoulders. Her captivating posture was just like the poem described: “The most touching thing is the gentleness of that lowered head, like a water lotus shying away from the cool breeze.”
Even Lin Qiao couldn’t help but be captivated by this scene, let alone Su Zhengxing, who was so controlled by the plot and character design.
Almost like a conditioned reflex, Su Zhengxing instantly immersed himself in the character design.
“It’s okay, follow me.”
A gentle sound escaped his throat uncontrollably. Su Zhengxing knew that it was starting again!
While it’s true that you need to make a reservation in advance to take a boat with a boatman, you don’t need to if you rent a boat yourself; you can go and row by yourself.
As luck would have it, Su Zhengxing happened to know how to row and had even won an inter-school competition. This project seemed tailor-made for him.
“Mr. Su, can you…row the boat?” Even Lin Qiao, with her thick skin, felt a bit of pressure to let her boss row. She stood on the boat, wanting to sit but not daring to.
“Maybe I shouldn’t sit?”
“Okay, then you can go down.” Before he could even struggle, his mouth answered for him.
