Life is full of coincidences and accidents, but from a materialistic perspective, dialectically, there are no absolute or accidental events in the world, only the accidental ones created by people. Those things that seem very coincidental are actually inevitably possible outcos.
Accident is ignorance of the cause, and behind accident lies an inevitable rule.
Because Zhao Qingge's parents wanted to go to the hot springs, Zhao Qingge suggested going to the hot springs with Li Peifeng.
But there are only two or three hot spring resorts with a good environnt and close distance, Zhao Qingge, upon learning her parents were going to Feng Mountain, brought Li Peifeng to Jiulong.
Unexpectedly, Feng Mountain closed due to staff having close contact, so Zhao and Li couples also ca to Jiulong.
So, it's perfectly reasonable that they could eventually bump into Zhao Qingge here...
"What a joke! Could Duoduo be here at the hot springs? Didn't she say she was busy with work?"
Zhao Haiqi's first reaction was disbelief, he looked more intently at the pair walking ahead, but could only shake his head: "No, I can only make out a man and a woman walking side by side, can't see clearly. Ah, my eyes, I'll have to put my glasses on. Wait a minute, I'll get them from the wardrobe..."
"What to get? Forget it!"
Li Xin quickly grabbed her husband, stepped forward, and lowered her voice: "It's probably Duoduo, shouldn't be wrong. Let's follow them closely and take a look to confirm. Pay attention, don't get found out."
"Why hide? Just go up and take a quick look... Wait a minute, is it because of that boy?"
"Of course!"
Li Xin pulled Zhao Haiqi forward, keeping an eye on the pair ahead of her. She saw them walking out of the lobby toward the outdoor hot springs and quickly followed.
"The boy is holding hands with Duoduo, must be her boyfriend. Rember I ntioned her online romance to you before?"
Zhao Haiqi's face was serious: "You an that man is Duoduo's online boyfriend?"
"Possible." Li Xin's face grew even more serious. Seeing the two walking further away, she instinctively pulled her husband to quicken their pace, an unsettling feeling growing inside her.
Because she felt the man's height, build, and back view looked so familiar, too familiar.
Could it be...
Thinking this, she quickened her steps again. As she saw the pair holding hands, sitting in a small round pool at the outdoor hot springs, Li Peifeng casually turned, revealing his profile to Li Xin.
"..."
"Why does that boy look familiar to ?"
By this ti, they had gotten closer, and Zhao Haiqi also vaguely saw Li Peifeng's face, asking in confusion: "Wife, have you seen him before?"
"Seen him."
Li Xin almost spat the words out through clenched teeth, holding onto a sliver of hope inside, because she hadn't seen the face of the girl with Li Peifeng. Even if the girl's back view was so much like her Zhao Qingge, without seeing her face, she couldn't make a final judgnt.
But inside, she felt more urgent, standing at the door leading to the outdoor hot springs to observe closely. But the indoor mist was lingering, the pair was sitting outside with their backs to them, making it impossible to see people's faces.
"Seen him? Then who is he, what's his na?"
Li Xin didn't answer directly: "You'll know when you go out and see."
"Should we go out too?"
Zhao Haiqi didn't pursue further, a mix of curiosity or annoyance brewing inside him: "We should indeed take a look, that girl's back looks so much like Duoduo, could she really have lied?"
Could our daughter have turned down her parents' invitation to secretly et her boyfriend?
Could my thirty-three-year-old daughter finally be blossoming?
I want to see what kind of jerk...
Li Xin took a look at the layout of the outdoor hot springs from inside, with six or seven small hot spring pools and a larger swimming pool, only about a dozen visitors.
After a brief thought, she had a plan.
Li Xin cautiously said: "Let's go around the plants so they don't notice us."
"Isn't it not quite right?" Zhao Haiqi slightly frowned: "I suddenly realized, if that girl is Duoduo, and she refused our invitation to privately et her boyfriend, us parents suddenly showing up again..."
"Hurry up and go!"
Li Xin was anxious inside, eager to verify that terrible thought, paying no attention to anything else, just pulling her husband to step out first, as the electronic doors opened, they walked outdoors, treading lightly.
"Wife, if it really is Duoduo and her boyfriend, us appearing in front of them would be awkward, both of them would feel embarrassed, you and I have to think about what to say..."
"Not being noticed is all that matters! Even if we're noticed, just pretend we don't know her, don't take the initiative to talk, isn't that fine? Shut up, let's go to the pool behind them!"
The couple gradually approached discreetly, and as the distance closed, Li Peifeng's voice ca to their ears.
"I think this photo looks the best."
Li Peifeng placed his right hand on Zhao Qingge's jade-like shoulder, holding a phone in his left hand, displaying several photos he took of Old Zhao while they were picking strawberries inside the greenhouse.
In the picture, Zhao Qingge rarely showed a smile, just focused on picking strawberries. The sunlight stread down, highlighting the tips of her hair and profile, rendering a golden halo.
"Average."
Zhao Qingge wasn't too satisfied, adjusting the long hair on both sides, her fingertips brushing past the corner of her eye, and smiled: "What's the effect of that bottle of dicine you gave ? I feel much better after taking it for two weeks."
