Mao Jiang's laugh obviously missed the point.

Hearing Mao Jiang's late smile, the four girls laughed at Mao Jiang's nerve for so long, and soon regarded him as air and moved on to the next topic.

Dai Guochao came back at this time, along with Chi Cheng and Chi Yuan who had fallen to the bottom.

Fortunately, there was still time, and they all made it to the deadline.The eight people happily received the small pendant given back by the haunted house, left the haunted house, and ran towards the artificial lake.

In fact, it is not the best time to choose boating at this time. The sun is a bit strong and there is no wind. White light, even the surface of the water seems to have not woken up from a lunch break, not even a ripple is willing to ripple.But this time is also good, there are few people and no mosquitoes, and the angle of the sun is almost direct, the little shade formed by the boat shed just covers the seat.

The girls had never paddled before. Although the staff sincerely advised them to choose a pedal boat that is better for paddling, they still chose a paddle out of enthusiasm, and they couldn't stop it.

Mao Jiang couldn't resist these four chattering mouths, so he had to accompany them on board the boat.

Dai Guochao stood on the pier, hesitant.He didn't want Mao Jiang to go boating with the girls, but he also felt that the four girls were left alone, and they might really need to ask the staff to help them get them back from the lake to the shore later.If that's the case, it would appear that these boys are too useless.

After several weighings, Dai Guochao finally compromised and followed Mao Jiang onto the boat.

"Chengzi, why are you two still standing there? Aren't you going to board the boat?"

Nan Feng knew what I meant and Chi Cheng waved his hands towards them, and said with a slight smile: "No, you guys play, let's take it easy."

Ever since everyone came out of the haunted house and clamored to go to the artificial lake for boating, Chi Yuan's expression was a little strange, as if he was a little resistant to the boating.Although he tried his best to control his emotions and didn't want to affect everyone's interest because of himself, he deliberately turned his gaze elsewhere, without paying any attention to the lake surface, and still fell into Chi Cheng's eyes.

The group of people rowed the boat into the water happily, and after countless times of direction adjustments, the boat finally stopped spinning in place and began to move slowly in a general direction. Everyone was finally relieved. A joyful laugh was released.

After watching his companions finally subdue the uncontrolled boat, Chi Cheng turned around and took Chi Yuan to a bench not far away under the shade of a tree and sat down.

The two were silent for a long time, but it was Chi Cheng who spoke first.

"what happened to you?"

Chi Yuan turned his head to look at Chi Cheng, Chi Cheng's concern came into his eyes, but there was still a memory in his mind that he wanted to forget no matter what.He originally thought that as long as he leaves that place, leaves those people, and spends some more time, those past events will slowly fade in his heart, and he will slowly look away.

But when he saw the lake for the first time, the blooming reeds by the lake reminded him uncontrollably of the golden reeds in the artificial lake at the foot of the mountain behind the school on New Year's Day. The ice surface and the young man named Luo Yuan who sank into the water and never emerged again.

The school had a day off that day, because it was the New Year and it was Chi Yuan’s birthday, and the boys who hadn’t gone home ate and drank at a restaurant outside the school. They were really bored, so they took advantage of the weather at noon Just in time, I secretly ran to the hill behind the school to play.

At the foot of the mountain is a small artificial lake, and beside the lake are large areas of dry and dense reeds.It's already nine, and the lake is already frozen.In previous winters, people would sneak over the fence to go skating, and some students had already sneaked out to play a few days ago.

Therefore, even though there are fences around, despite the signs prohibiting crossing, those fences and prohibition signs are just paper tigers in the eyes of teenagers, without any deterrent effect.The mirror-like ice surface also filled them with yearning, and nothing could stop them from wanting to fly freely on the ice.

To be cautious, they found several big rocks and slammed them hard on the ice to test their hardness. Then they chose a place where the reeds were sparse and walked slowly up the ice.After carefully probing, they slowly let go of their courage and started playing.

At first, they were all playing near the shore.As they became more open and courageous, they began to explore farther places, and Luo Yuan rushed out first.

However, no one expected that the ice surface, which seemed to be very solid, suddenly cracked, and several people rushed to the bank rolling and crawling.When they pulled and dragged Chiyuan who had fallen into the water behind them to the shore, they found that Luo Yuan, who had slipped the farthest, had disappeared, and only a baseball cap was floating faintly among the broken ice.

They shouted frantically on the shore, but they never heard Luo Yuan's voice again.

It was an accident, but Luo Yuan's elder brother Luo Qi gave Chi Yuan a diary afterwards to let him know that Luo Yuan always believed in and obeyed him unconditionally, never because he was called "Aid" Brother", but because I like him!Luo Yuan's diary is densely filled with his thoughts on Chi Yuan, because the unspoken and involuntary liking almost made Luo Yuan abandon his reason.

That day, it was Chi Yuan who proposed to go to the back mountain, and it was also Chi Yuan who tried the ice surface and found that there would be no problem.If it wasn't for Chi Yuan's blind belief that the ice was solid, Luo Yuan might not have skated that far at all.He is usually such a careful person, he likes Chi Yuan for so long and has been hiding it tightly, but because of Chi Yuan's words, he let go too far and never came back.

For a long time after that, Chi Yuan would have nightmares every night, and the dreams were full of Luo Yuan's complaints and wailing, asking Chi Yuan why he didn't come to save him at the front line of life and death because he believed in him so much.However, obviously Chi Yuan himself was rescued by his classmates, how could he save others?

Although they were all dealt with by the school later, Chi Yuan still deeply blamed himself and felt guilty.He regretted that at that time he should not have self-righteously told everyone that the ice surface felt very solid, and even from the beginning, he should not have suggested that everyone secretly ran out to play knowingly that it violated the school rules.

However, what is the use of more self-blame and guilt?Luo Yuan will never come back.

Chi Yuan looked at Chi Cheng fixedly, not knowing how to respond to his concern.

"Are you... afraid of water?"

Chi Yuan turned his head, his eyes swept across the lake in vain, and then turned to look at the sky.The sky at this moment, like a larger lake, is upside down above the head.Chi Yuan simply closed his eyes, rested his forehead on Chi Cheng's shoulder, paused for a while, but shook his head slightly.

There was another long silence.

Although Chi Yuan can't swim, he's not even afraid of water, it's just because of Luo Yuan's drowning, when he sees the lake like that, he can't help but think of what happened that day, those dreams he had.Although the teacher and classmates later comforted him that it was an accident and not his fault, he still couldn't let it go, because there were always people reminding him from time to time that Luo Yuan's death had an inseparable causal connection with him.

Chi Yuan didn't want to talk, so Chi Cheng didn't ask any more questions.He touched the back of Chi Yuan's head, and put his hand on Chi Yuan's shoulder.He wanted to tell Chi Yuan in this way that he was here.

The two of them sat quietly on the bench like this, and in the end Chi Yuan didn't tell Chi Cheng what was going on in his heart.

After Mao Jiang and the others finished rowing, they went to play some other sports.It wasn't until the sun went west that they hurried to the place for dinner.

When several people hurried to the hot pot restaurant, it was almost an hour past their scheduled arrival time.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw the cake box on the front desk.Beside the box, a man in a shirt stood with his hands down in order, like the welcome guests standing at the door, he almost saluted and said hello to them.

The half-covered face behind the box, with a look of lingering anger, turned out to be Lin Congyu.

Chi Yuan was a little surprised, it was the second time he met Lin Congyu and Wei Tunan here, last time they seemed to come to eat hot pot, but this time, obviously not.Chi Yuan looked around vigilantly, and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see the figure that he couldn't avoid.

This scene happened to fall into Lin Congyu's eyes, and when he opened his mouth, there was a smell of gunpowder.

"Chi Yuan, what are you looking at? Don't even think about seeing my sister here!"

As soon as Lin Congyu finished speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had just had a fight with him and ran out, came back.

Lin Congyu's face froze and he was speechless.

When Lin Xiaoxiao saw Chi Yuan and the others, he looked as if his scar had healed and forgot the pain, and asked in surprise:

"Hey? So it's you guys! I was talking about Mr. Chi. Why, is senior Chi... uh... Senior Chi Cheng celebrating his birthday today? I just said, all the cakes ordered by others have been delivered, how is it possible Will you come? Your private room was almost canceled by this dog-like Boss Lin."

As Lin Xiaoxiao said, he took the time to pull his face down and gave his brother a hard look, and soon the smile returned to his face.

"I'll give you two servings of ramen today! Happy birthday! Senior Chi Cheng!"

Chi Cheng, who was misunderstood, was a little embarrassed, and was thinking about how to explain it, when Dai Guochao jumped out in a timely manner.

"Smile, is it true that Brother Cheng only gives you birthday noodles on his birthday? Do the rest of us get this treatment?"

"Yes, yes, of course!"

"Hey, let me tell you, today is not Brother Cheng's birthday, it's me and Mao Jiang's birthday! How about it? Do you have to give me another one?"

"What? The two of you have the same birthday? Fate! Give it away! Two more ramen noodles! One more bottle of sweet wine, today is two birthday stars!"

"Thank you, little fairy! If you don't dislike it, you can come along, the more people are more lively, and there is no one you don't know, right?"

Dai Guochao directly invited Lin Xiaoxiao.Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Chi Yuan, then asked Dai Guochao:

"Is it really okay? Then I'm not welcome! Today's dishes will give you another [-]% off!"

After talking, they went upstairs talking and laughing, even forgetting to be surprised that this hot pot restaurant turned out to be Lin Congyu's.

Chi Yuan looked at their backs helplessly, pinched the bridge of his nose and did eye exercises.

With a playful expression on Chi Cheng's face, after sweeping Chi Yuan and Lin Congyu back and forth a few times, he kicked Chi Yuan's heel and said "Let's go" lightly, leaving his face green with anger Lin Congyu and Wei Tunan, who had been watching the battle all day long, went upstairs without waiting for Chi Yuan to leave.

Chi Yuan nodded slightly towards the two of them, then hurriedly chased after them.

"Brother Cheng, wait for me!"
