So red that everything is black

Early the next morning, Wen Xinlan opened the curtains, and bright sunlight filled the house. It was a rare sunny day!
The high blue sky is vast and the breeze is refreshing.

Considering that she had a lot of schedule today, Wen Xinlan specially chose a sportswear and wore a very thin light feather.

At 09:30, Wei Qingkuan's car was already parked outside the villa courtyard.

Wen Xinlan brought several bottles of branded mineral water and hot osmanthus sponge cake to share with everyone in case she got hungry on the way.

Boss Wei also wore casual clothes today.

This was the first time Wen Xinlan saw Wei Qingkuan without a suit, and there was no sense of seriousness or oppression in the past.

The man was wearing a white lace-up sweatshirt with a dark green down vest on top. His hair was fluffy and spread naturally in front of his forehead. He looked several years younger.

After the two parties exchanged polite words, the driver drove them to the First Spring Scenic Area and visited two adjacent spring water parks.

The white springs are constantly spewing live spring water, the blue sky is reflected on the crystal clear water, and red and gold koi carps are playing happily in the water.

Looking around, there is still a layer of white mist floating faintly on the lake, making it look like a fairyland on a cold winter day.

Wei Qingkuan put his hands leisurely in his pockets, "I was lucky enough to come here once in the summer, but I didn't expect that the spring water does not freeze in winter."

Wen Xinlan took him to the steps beside the spring and said with a smile: "Not only is it not freezing, it is also warm!"

"Teacher Guifu is lying to me?"

Wen Xinlan knelt down and stirred up a few water splashes, "If you don't believe me, Mr. Wei, come here and give it a try!"

Wei Qingkuan believed her words, took a few steps forward with his long legs, squatted down with his tall body, stretched out two fingers and dipped a little bit of spring water.

Wen Xinlan also squatted beside him, looking expectantly at his upcoming expression with a pair of big bright eyes.

Until a little hot spring soaked the man's fingers, numbed his lower back, and stirred up his long-quiet heart.

"It's really hot!" Wei Qingkuan concealed the throbbing in his body and pretended to sigh, "Nature is so magical!"

The two of them both stood up. Wen Xinlan guided and chatted: "Today's weather reminds me of an essay by Mr. Lao She. It said that the winter in Wencheng is sunny. An old city has mountains and rivers, all in Basking in the sun under the sky, they slept warmly and comfortably, just waiting for the spring breeze to wake them up. Mr. Wei, you said that today's Wencheng should be very similar to the winter described by Mr. Lao She! "

"I vaguely remember the beginning: For someone like me who is used to living in Beicheng, it would be a miracle if there is no wind in winter; there is no wind in Wencheng in winter."

"Wow! Mr. Wei is very knowledgeable and talented. He remembers it so clearly."

"I memorized this article when I was a child, but forgot it when I grew up. I only remember the first sentence."

Wen Xinlan politely praised: "Sometimes I envy Mr. Wei. Not only does he have a good background, but he also has a high IQ and studies hard. He is truly a perfect person."

He lowered his eyes slightly, "No, there is no perfect person in this world. If you think a person is perfect, it means you don't know him well enough."

"Mr. Wei is really perfect. If I were born into your family, why should I study? What classes should I take? Then I would have to eat and drink like crazy every day! Indulge myself! I would be so drunk!"

Wei Qingkuan was amused by her words.

When the two of them walked past an ancient building, they heard the voice of the old man telling stories.

Wen Xinlan couldn't help but act as a tour guide: "By the way, Wencheng is also known as the "Qushan Art Sea". Together with Beicheng and Jincheng, it is known as the three major piers for folk art. There is a saying, it's called 'Beicheng School' Art, practicing in Tianjin, kicking the threshold in Wencheng', I wonder if Mr. Wei has ever heard of it?"

"It sounds like Beicheng and Wencheng are quite related."

"Looks like it is!"

At 10:30 in the morning, Zhen Nuan made a call to Wen Xinlan as agreed last night.

Wen Xinlan deliberately answered the phone in front of Wei Qingkuan and asked him if he could have lunch with his friend at noon, because his friend was going home for the New Year soon and he came here to say goodbye today.

Wei Qingkuan asked her name, and when he learned it was Zhen Nuan, his eyes flashed and he did not refuse.

Wen Xinlan also asked Wei Qingkuan to ask him not to call her "Teacher Guifu" in front of his friends, but to just call her by name, so as not to make his friends feel too awkward.Wei Qingkuan didn't expect Wen Xinlan to care so much about the feelings of a female friend, so he nodded and agreed.

The two of them went shopping together until about 11:30, and Yan Hu drove them to the hotel Wen Xinlan had reserved.

There is a parking lot in front of the hotel.

When getting off the bus, Wen Xinlan briefly introduced the lunch arrangements, "Mr. Wei, I have booked a boat banquet for noon. We can take a boat ride together, taste delicious food and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Enjoy the unique charm of Quancheng in the rippling blue waves, how?"

"Everything is up to your arrangement."

The four of them got out of the car, and a hotel called Minghu Tower opened on the edge of Minghu Lake. The architectural style was very elegant.

Zhen Nuan has been waiting in the hall for a long time.

When Wen Xinlan saw Zhen Nuan, she took the initiative to introduce her: "Mr. Wei, this is my best friend, Zhen Nuan."

Wei Qingkuan stretched out his arm, "Hello, I am Wei Qingkuan."

Zhen Nuan bent down and shook hands, "Hello, Mr. Wei! Sorry for bothering you today."

"No." Wei Qingkuan smiled slightly, "Nice to meet you."

Zhen Nuan secretly took a look at Wei Qingkuan and found that the noble young master was much younger than online. He didn't look like he was 33 years old at all, but more like they were the same age.

Moreover, his personality is not as cold, arrogant, and unapproachable as expected. He is clearly a sunny and handsome young man.

Wen Xinlan looked at her phone, "It's time, let's get on the boat first! Let's chat while we eat."

"Walk."

The five of them walked through the main building of the restaurant together and came out to the lakeside pier.

The ladies were helped onto the boat first, followed by the gentlemen.Meals and drinks have been arranged by the staff on board.

This boat is a ten-seater.

Yan Hu and Fu Jing were sitting on one side, and the ship was tilting slightly. Wen Xinlan had to sit opposite them, sitting with Wei Qingkuan.

Zhen Nuan was very sensible and chose to sit opposite her friend, next to Fu Jing.

When the waitress saw the guests seated, she put on a loudspeaker and introduced: "Dear distinguished guests, the cruise ship is about to set sail, and I will spend a wonderful lunch time with you today."

As he spoke, the ship's hull swayed slightly, causing waves to rise on both sides.

The waitress continued: "The breeze is blowing in the waves of the willows, and the love is between the mountains and rivers. Today our entire route will take about two hours, and we will circle along the moat and return. I will provide dining services for all distinguished guests in the cabin. What is there? Please call me anytime if needed."

The dishes of the boat banquet are mainly Wendong cuisine and seafood.

The first course was braised abalone with braised pork and black truffle. It was soft and waxy in the mouth, full of aroma and had a sweet aftertaste.

The second dish was stir-fried beef tenderloin with black pepper and zucchini. The beef was tender and the zucchini was crispy.

The third mung bean cake, peeled mung beans, is delicate and slightly sweet, melts in the mouth, and the cheese filling adds a rich taste.

The fourth course is Bay prawns and cabbage, the shrimp oil is soaked in the soup, the cabbage is tender and delicious, and the two complement each other soft and glutinous.

There are also several Chinese and Western dishes, and the quality is also good.

After the waitress poured sparkling lemonade for the guests, Wen Xinlan raised her glass and said, "Don't be polite, everyone, let's get started!"

The sound of eating with chopsticks could be heard in the cabin.
