i was my mistake

"Let's go, buy a ticket, I'll treat you today!"

When it came to buying tickets, Wan Qing immediately became complacent, and patted her pocket hard as if showing off her wealth.

"No, the ticket costs five yuan." Mao Yeyuan shook her head, "It's a lot for five people."

"Yes, it's better to pay by yourself." Lin Sumeng shook her little furry wallet, "I brought 20 yuan here today, and the entrance fee is already in it."

"Then how..."

"Then pay for it yourself." Ye Chen hurriedly said, she could tell that even if Wan Qing really treats guests, it might not be a good thing, maybe Mao Yeyuan and Lin Sumeng would feel a little embarrassed because they owed her.

"Ok!"

"Okay." Wan Qing didn't care, anyway, the feeling of "richness" had already been revealed.

Today is Saturday, and there are quite a few people queuing up to buy tickets. Most of them are grandparents with their grandchildren, and a few are parents with their children. On the contrary, there are not many young people who come to play by themselves.

Although the tickets for watching fish in Huagang are cheap, the problem is that it can only see the scenery itself, and the scenery is not very special, that is, the carp in the pond is very beautiful.

But that thing gets tired after a while. It’s not like the West Lake. You can walk around, see the lotus pond, take a photo next to the big golden bull, and rent some costumes to take pictures by the lake. Even the scenery Tired of watching, you can also see all kinds of tourists coming and going, many of them are from other places, and occasionally you can meet a few white-skinned foreigners...

But if you just want to enjoy the scenery, drink tea and chat in the park, then this is a good place.

"Wait, didn't you guys buy food?" Mao Yeyuan asked suspiciously, because she found that among the three, only Zhao Jinyu carried a small bag, but at most it contained some small things like mirrors, combs, napkins, and some candies Chocolate or something, it's impossible to put down many snacks.

"No ah."

"The things inside are very expensive. It would be a waste if you go in and play for a while and then come out." Lin Sumeng shook the bag in his hand, "Go over there, there is a supermarket two traffic lights, the price is relatively normal, I just Bought it there."

Wan Qing touched the 100 yuan in her pocket, but also hesitated.

The main reason is that I don’t know how high the prices are. In this kind of scenic area, it is quite normal to pay 40 yuan for a cup of tea.

——Even if you have money on hand, you can't waste it like that.

"Well... let's go buy some."

"Then let's go together!"

"Okay."

Seeing that the park was right in front of them, the five of them still walked a short distance to buy some snacks in the supermarket.

"Wan Qing bought a lot of hot strips, is it all right?"

"Latiao is not very good, cheap and delicious, but drink more water—so I bought more drinks and mineral water."

"Yeah, the others look expensive, and they don't seem very tasty." Ye Chen nodded, and she also had a bag in her hand, "It's cheaper to buy such a big pile for 20 yuan. It’s much cheaper to buy something else.”

"A lot, can you finish it?" Mao Yeyuan asked suspiciously.

"If you can't finish eating, you can take it home."

"Yes."

"But it's tiring to carry it?"

"It's okay, if you're too tired, let Chen'er carry it." Wan Qing shook the bag in her hand—her bag was full of spicy sticks, while Ye Chen's bag was full of drinks and mineral water, heavier than hers. Much more.

"Hey, I'm a coolie."

"Then just wait and finish your meal."

"Then it depends on how long it takes to play..."

The five people who finished shopping turned around and went back, feeling that they went back much faster than when they came.

It took more than half an hour to finish these things.

It was past nine o'clock, and I finally bought a ticket to go in. The inside was crowded with many tourists.

The one that gathers the most is the big carp pond.

The carps in it all look very big, some are white, some are red, some are yellow, and of course, some of these colors are mixed - it looks like they have lost their color.

"Mom, look, there are black carp! It's so rare!" A child pointed to the carp in the pond and shouted in surprise.

Wan Qing, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help complaining: "Aren't carp always black? There's nothing so strange about being black."

"Because there are too many carps of other colors, does the black one look strange?" Ye Chen threw a piece of bread crumbs into the pond, "Is the red carp artificially bred?"

"Yeah, it seems that when the carp reproduces a lot, it will slowly fade and turn back to black."

"So those mottled carp are the generations that are fading?"

"Almost." Wan Qing's eyes lit up suddenly, and she pointed to the carp whose head was floating out of the water and said, "Oh! This one is the most beautiful, golden red, without variegation, doesn't look fat, and has a well-proportioned body ah."

"I like the white one." Mao Yeyuan was already lying on the back of the chair, "Only the head has a little red, so cute."

"The sign over there seems to say 'no feeding'..." Lin Sumeng looked at Ye Chen who threw bread crumbs into the pond again, and couldn't help but whispered.

"Ah... Is that so? I think others seem to be losing..."

"That brand is basically useless—these carp are not afraid of people, probably because they are fed every day." Wan Qing leaned on Ye Chen, "There are really many people by the pond."

"After all, it's Huagang to watch the fish. People who come here are just to watch the fish." Zhao Jinyu pursed his lips and smiled softly, looking very ladylike in his sitting posture.

"Hey, look, there's a cat over there trying to catch fish!" Mao Yeyuan suddenly shouted excitedly, "What a cute cat, black and white!"

"It's just hungry and wants to get something to eat, but I don't think it can catch such a big fish." Just as Wan Qing finished speaking, the black and white cat actually stretched out its paws and grabbed a big fish. The carp, which is not too small, actually tried to forcefully drag it to the shore.

Amid the exclamation of the crowd, the carp struggled hard and escaped, leaving only a few scales on its claws as a trophy.

A staff member in uniform ran out from the side, took the stick and drove away the stray cat who only wanted to eat meat.

"It's really daring, so many people dare to do it when they see it."

"Maybe he's a habitual offender."

"That's how cats are." Wan Qing held her chin and criticized mercilessly, "You're cheap."

81. Sitting in the court

Of course, Huagang Park is more than a small pond. In fact, it is surrounded by pavilions and waterways. Rather than saying that there are many waterways flowing around the pavilions, it is better to say that the pavilions are built on those waterways.

Walking here, you can fully feel the beauty of Jiangnan water town.

Different from ordinary waterways, this is a scenic area after all, the water quality is clear, and there are always groups of carp swimming by, adding some bright colors to this ink painting-like world.

This is not only a gazebo, but also a corridor. Some people pass by here, and some people linger on the scenery here, sit down and rest.

"Just here? It feels like the sunshine is good, and it's not easy to be disturbed." Wan Qing squinted her eyes and sat down. This is a corridor without eaves, and the long wooden benches next to it can also be used for sitting.

The clear water gently patted the stone pillars supporting the corridor, and the fluffy moss also swayed slowly with the water flow. A few carps got in and out, playing among the man-made things.

Wan Qing casually put the plastic bag by her side, took out a pack of spicy sticks from inside, bit it open, poured half of the bag into her mouth, and ate it with relish.

The others also sat down, and Mao Yeyuan and Lin Sumeng took the lead in chatting about some recent gossip.

Zhao Jinyu seemed to be listening, but also didn't seem to be listening—in short, she was in a daze with her chin resting on her hands, her gaze fell into the distance, and when someone asked her something, she would answer clearly.

"... I heard that the school girl in your class, Luo Shijin, broke up with her boyfriend?" Mao Yeyuan asked curiously, lightly took a small bite of soda biscuit, and then held it very carefully with her hands.

"Is such that."

Ye Chen knew this matter best, but he still couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to hear it from someone else.

So she pricked up her ears, and even sat up slightly, as if listening.

"I heard that her boyfriend is from Class Five?"

"Yes."

"It's in the same class as Wanqing and the others."

Lin Sumeng's eyes fell on Ye Chen who seemed to be left out in the cold, and quickly shook the sandwich biscuit box in his hand: "Ye Chen, do you want to eat? Just take it yourself."

"Ah, good." Ye Chen smiled shyly, taking it as a gesture of politeness, then stretched out his hand to pick up a soda biscuit, imitating Mao Yeyuan's way of eating soda biscuits, holding it with one hand, and then gently Take a bite.

This appearance was so ladylike that it formed a stark contrast with Wan Qing who was beside her.

"Zhao Jinyu...classmate? Do you want it?" Lin Sumeng looked at her again.

"I'm not hungry for now." She smiled lightly, and bumped Wan Qing who was watching the fish with her elbow, "Qing'er, have you ever seen a Su-style garden?"

"I've heard of it, and I've seen the pictures, but I probably haven't seen it in person." Wan Qing opened another pack of spicy sticks, her lips were as bright as lipstick. The smell made Zhao Jinyu cough twice.

Here, Mao Yeyuan and Lin Sumeng continued to chat and gossip vigorously. When they entered this state, it seemed that many things from the outside world could hardly affect them.

"So, why did you break up?" Mao Yeyuan pointed to her soda biscuit, "Ye Chen, you have to eat it yourself."

"Okay..." Ye Chen nodded, and then carefully took a small bite of the sandwich biscuit, just such a small piece of biscuit, if she eats it like this, it is estimated that she will take at least ten bites to finish it.

"I'm fairly familiar with Luo Shijin, but I haven't talked much recently. She seems a little depressed, as if she was dumped." Lin Sumeng said with wide-eyed eyes.

Zhao Jinyu sat slightly sideways: "Su-style gardens are generally small, but the scenery inside is very unique, and there is a lot of running water. The buildings seem to be built on the water, which is very similar to the feeling here."

"To be honest, this feeling is quite good, but if you really live in this kind of place, it should be very humid—" Wan Qing turned her head and plucked Ye Chen's hair, "Ye Chen, can you sit a little bit forward? Your hair fell into my hot strips."

"Oh..." Ye Chen sat forward and got closer to the other two girls.

Mao Yeyuan was asking suspiciously: "...How is it possible that a boy would take the initiative to dump such a beautiful girlfriend? And it's only been together for a few days."

"So... There are other students in the class who guess that he was not dumped, but she dumped him."

"That's possible."

"Some people said that she was caught cheating and then broke up. Some people talked too much, saying that she went out to sell and was arrested before breaking up. She may not have a very good personality, but I think she should wouldn’t do that kind of thing.”

Mao Yeyuan nodded: "Maybe he was jealous of her, so he attacked her like this."

"I think so too." As Lin Sumeng said, he stuffed another sandwich biscuit into his mouth, and chewed vigorously with his cheeks puffed out.

"It won't be too humid..." Zhao Jinyu was explaining to Wan Qing, who picked up a few packets of spicy sticks and shook them in front of the other three.

"If you want spicy noodles, take it yourself, it's delicious."

"Okay, eat it later, otherwise the biscuits will be tasteless."

"Ah no (spicy or not)?" Lin Sumeng asked vaguely.

"Not spicy!" Wan Qing gasped, unscrewed the cap of the plastic bottle and poured several gulps into her mouth, "Huh, cool!"

"Hey, Wan Qing, do you know why the boys in your class broke up with Luo Shijin?" Mao Yeyuan looked at her and asked.

"I know, she just met a godfather outside, and that godfather drives a Mercedes-Benz."

"Godfather?"

"Oh, it's just being packaged and raised."

"Huh?"

"Really?" Lin Sumeng's eyes widened, "No way? Although she keeps changing boyfriends, I think she should be considered a good-behaved girl, right?"

"It just looks good. If you are really good, how could you change boyfriends so often?"

"Why is Wanqing so clear?"

"Of course it's clear, that day, but we caught her personally together with that kid Jiang Xing."

"Really?"

Mao Yeyuan suddenly became excited: "Catch the rape... in bed?"

"more or less."

"how is it like?"

"Here, it's just like this." Wan Qing sucked the spicy stick in her mouth, "At that time she was kneeling, wearing clothes that barely covered her body."

"It's really... like this?" Lin Sumeng still couldn't believe it.

"Why lie to you—" Wan Qing patted Zhao Jinyu on the shoulder, "Do you still remember that day, I asked you to go back first, because we found something and ran to catch the adulterer?"

"So it is."

"I thought you would say why didn't I invite you to come with me."

"No, I'm actually not interested in these other people's affairs." Zhao Jinyu pursed his lips and smiled, "But I really didn't expect you to do this that day, and you didn't tell me about it afterwards."

"Uh... Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just saving an unlucky guy." Ye Chen coughed dryly, feeling that Wan Qing had said too many things all at once, which was not very good, so he opened his mouth Said, "Actually, we were just helping out. It was discovered by another boy in our class."
