"Of course, it's a wish related to the two of us," Chen Yu Ying said with a light chuckle, gripping a coin softly.
"Then what you wish for is sure to co true," Lin Li replied casually but confidently.
"I think so too," Chen Yu Ying nodded in agreent, tossing the coin.
The coin traced an arc and perfectly landed in the slot.
Although Chen Yu Ying wasn't particularly concerned whether she hit the wish pool, she still felt an unexpected thrill when she did.
Looking down at the girl with sparkling eyes, Lin Li's eyes glead too, "Looks like the notion that your wish will co true is shared not just by us."
— He hadn't used any special ability just now.
After tossing all the remaining coins, so of which hit and so missed, the two returned to their bikes and continued riding.
...
"Feeling tired?"
Feeling the wheels gradually turning onto an uphill path, and the wind seemingly bringing a bit of resistance against them, Chen Yu Ying patted Lin Li's arm with concern in her voice.
"Don't worry, just a small lake," Lin Li said, rolling the candy Chen Yu Ying had given him back and forth in his mouth, the sweet flavor spreading as he spoke lightly and with laughter:
"Not ntioning a circle around the lake, I could carry you to participate in the Tour de France with no problem!
Ah, why don't they hold a Tour of China cycling race? Otherwise, I'd sign up right now, showing the power of love."
"Tour of China sounds too much..." Chen Yu Ying laughed aloud.
Chen Yu Ying thought athletes join competitions to showcase their ranking to the world, but definitely not to showcase their gravestone.
Held in ancient tis, the Tour of China might have a more fitting term: exile.
Right, exile typically spanned thirty hundred miles to eighty hundred miles, but the Tour of China would be forty thousand miles.
Continuing forward, they rode past the blind spot of the view that wasn't visible upon exiting "Frost Path," revealing a wooden viewing platform stretching into the lake ahead, where quite a few tourists gathered to rest and play.
The view was expansive here, with shallow waters and a group of wild ducks and several fearless pigeons gathered at the shore that clearly bore signs of feeding, swimming or strolling around.
Without needing a reminder from Chen Yu Ying behind him, Lin Li, aware of her grievance about having fed herself half the day and only herself, parked and locked the bike steadily at the bike rack at the entrance to the viewing platform.
"Co on, let's go take a look," Lin Li naturally took her hand.
After buying a few bags of grain feed from the vendors on the outskirts of the platform, the two stepped into the lively area.
Receiving the feed from Lin Li, Chen Yu Ying eagerly walked towards the railing at the edge of the platform.
The ducks seed to sense feeding ti had co, imdiately quacking as they gathered round, while the pigeons fluttered down to the nearby railings.
Chen Yu Ying picked up a pinch of grain, yet first scattered it to the area where several ducklings a bit further away, who didn't dare squeeze forward, were.
The ducklings imdiately began pecking happily, letting out gentle cries.
With her elbow leaning on the railing, her palm resting on her cheek, the girl watched them softly, with a smile on her lips, gently coaxing: "Eat slowly, no need to rush."
The sunlight fell upon the side of the girl's face, and moved by the scene, Lin Li took out his phone to capture this beautiful mont.
Upon noticing the cara, Chen Yu Ying smiled and made a few playful poses, turning into a fully automatic photo machine. When Lin Li nodded with satisfaction, she reached out with so anticipation: "How did they turn out? Show ."
"Not bad, pretty cool," Lin Li handed the phone to Chen Yu Ying.
Chen Yu Ying: "..."
Seeing the first picture in the album was Lin Li's face, Chen Yu Ying had a sinking feeling.
Sure enough, the latest seven or eight pictures in the album were all of Lin Li zood up close like a fruit fly.
Fooled again!
Just now, he deliberately let her notice while he aid the phone at himself!
"Why is it the front cara?" Chen Yu Ying asked with a straight face, knowing the answer.
"What?! It was the front cara?" Lin Li looked surprised, scratching his head, "I was just appreciating your beauty, strange, I thought I was using the rear cara, how could this happen?"
"It's okay," Chen Yu Ying shook her head, stood up and mid a light shove at Lin Li's side: "I already have so evidence, soon the truth will surface along with your corpse."
"Hahaha—"
Lin Li laughed heartily, impressed with how naturally Chen Yu Ying could now make such comnts, feeling he was truly notorious.
"Hand it over to if you can't take photos!" Chen Yu Ying was unhappy at how Lin Li was still so amused.
"Keep feeding, I'll seriously help you take photos this ti, leave it to ! Squat over at the spot there, I'll capture both you and the ducks together—" Lin Li spoke with humor, directing her.
Skeptical but still obedient, Chen Yu Ying followed Lin Li's instructions.
Before Lin Li was done and could show the photos to Chen Yu Ying, an aunt nearby praised, "Young man, your photography skills are quite good."
The phone captured images of the gray-blue lake and distant mountains, with ducks and pigeons in the foreground and a few rare close waterfowl, sunlight dancing on the rippling waves, yet the true focus of the image was Chen Yu Ying, with a gently tilted head and a warm smile.
"Thank you, Auntie," Lin Li responded politely.
"Could you take a few for too?" The Auntie imdiately requested.
"Sure thing, but Auntie, I'm not actually very good at taking pictures," Lin Li accepted but imdiately added a disclair.
"This kid, so modest," the Auntie waved her hand, promptly handing her phone to Lin Li, then posed right away.
Lin Li began taking photos.
The shutter sound on her phone wasn't turned off, and after hearing the clicking, she looked with anticipation at Lin Li: "How did they turn out?"
Looking at his work, Lin Li's expression seed a bit complex: "Auntie, I've captured you looking quite young."
"Amazing!" the Auntie excitedly nodded, "Take a few more, I'll change positions—"
"Auntie, I wasn't finished, there are so features on your phone I'm not familiar with, you've been captured a bit too young..." Lin Li said a bit sheepishly.
Seeing Lin Li's expression, Chen Yu Ying felt a sinking feeling and stood up, joining his side.
Once clear on the images, it wasn't exactly as Chen Yu Ying imagined, not having captured Auntie resembling her grandson.
But.
It was worse than Chen Yu Ying had imagined.
"Too young? What do you an too young?" Auntie asked sowhat confused, "Exactly how young?"
Lin Li: "Thirty years young..."
"Thirty years, oh wow, that'd be perfect, Auntie wants to go back to being eighteen too..."
Lin Li: "It's thirty million years."
Auntie: "(;☉_☉)?"
Misunderstood.
The lady puzzledly moved beside Lin Li, looking at her phone.
Except she didn't see her own photos on the phone.
For so reason, the screen displayed a comical early human.
Auntie: "Haha, who's this ape?"
"..."
"..."
Auntie: "Wait a second."
