The third day after meeting Tang Siran—
Because they had walked around the countryside for a whole day yesterday, all four of them were a little tired today, so they all got out of bed close to noon.
"How about we just eat something casually, and then we'll head out once we're ready?"
They had walked too much yesterday, so Tang Siran planned to take the three of them out for a casual outing today, just to eat and drink, and then go shopping tomorrow.
After resting for these two days, they would go out shopping for another two days, and that would be about it.
Hearing Tang Siran say this, the three of them didn't have any objections.
"Okay~"
"My legs are still sore, no high demands today." Hua Linglong sat there rubbing her calves after getting up.
As a photographer, she was used to walking around frequently, but after walking outside for a whole day yesterday, she was still a bit overwhelmed.
If it weren't for the arrangement, and if she really didn't want to go out, she might have been sitting here retouching photos right now.
Tang Siran nodded and glanced at the two who had just come out of the washroom, repeating herself.
"Sure, whatever you say, we'll follow." Qiu Xi said with a light smile.
This feeling of going out to play with someone in charge was really nice~
She was getting a little carried away.
Ni Xue was also tired yesterday, so now she just nodded to everything.
"Take these, you guys get ready, and I'll heat up some breakfast for you."
Hearing the three of them, Tang Siran turned and smiled, heading to the kitchen.
"Tang Tang, we'll help you." Qiu Xi and Ni Xue, who had finished washing up, also followed them in.
Then, each of them busy themselves a bit, and soon bread, milk, and other items were on the table.
"My darlings, thank you for your hard work~"
"I'll clean up after we finish eating."
Hua Linglong, who had just finished her tasks and walked out, saw the freshly made breakfast and playfully interacted with the three of them.
"Alright, if you don't clean it, we'll tell you to clean it."
"Hurry up and sit down to eat."
"Got it~"
With that, the four of them started eating breakfast.
...
"Let's go, prepare to set off."
"I'll take you out for a walk first, see what you want to eat, and then we'll eat after we're tired of browsing."
"Today, we're only looking at food and drinks. Tomorrow, I'll take you shopping."
"If you're interested, we can also watch a ball game in the afternoon, listen to music in the square in the evening, and then go back after eating."
"Sounds good!"
"This arrangement is great, let's do as Tang Tang says!"
Tang Siran smiled at Hua Linglong, who was speaking loudly with satisfaction, and nodded, "Okay."
"Then let's go, we're setting off."
"Got it~"
...
"Let's go with this one..."
Barbecue for lunch, hot pot for the afternoon, this was what they had discussed as they walked.
The four of them, having just drunk cream tea, didn't find it strange at all.
Drinking and then eating, eating and then drinking, it was normal~
"Okay, let's go in!"
Having looked at quite a few things while strolling, the four of them decided it was time to eat.
"This, this, and this..."
"And get some of this, and drinks too..."
The four of them sat there and ordered enthusiastically for a long time.
"All done!"
"Waiting to eat!"
After a few minutes of waiting, they could finally start eating.
...
Afternoon—
After eating their fill, the four of them entered and watched their first professional ball game.
"Although I don't understand it, it's still quite enjoyable..."
"I was too busy watching people run around and the ball flying everywhere. The only thing I understood was the score..."
"Exactly. I don't know how Tang Tang understands it and even explains it to us."
"Yeah~"
Before, when Tang Tang was with them, she was an incredibly demure little beauty!
No one expected that after spending a few years abroad, she would become interested in ball games and explain them so proficiently. In their eyes, she was incredibly radiant at that moment.
Tang Siran smiled brightly, "Then you guys wouldn't know!"
"When I first came out, I couldn't adapt to anything at first. When I first arrived, I lived at my aunt's house. Gradually, I didn't want to bother her anymore, so I lived at the school. For a long time afterward, I was truly experiencing life. When I worked part-time, I encountered everything, and all these things you're talking about are what I experienced back then. Life was incredibly fulfilling."
As Tang Siran said these words, her eyes were shining.
Qiu Xi and the others could tell from her gaze that she was happy, that she genuinely went out to experience life and enjoy her own life.
"Good!"
"Tang Tang, you've really grown up!" Hua Linglong said this with a serious expression.
After speaking, she pursed her lips, placed one hand behind her back, and extended the other to pat Tang Siran's shoulder earnestly and solemnly.
Qiu Xi and Ni Xue: "..."
"... " Tang Siran suddenly looked crestfallen.
The three of them: This silly goofball!
"Linglong, you should say less..." Tang Siran glared at her, trying to suppress a laugh but finding it difficult, feeling a bit helpless.
"What are you three looking at me like that for!" Hua Linglong glanced at the three of them. "I'm your sister and I care about you, why are you laughing..."
Hua Linglong strode in front of the three of them, staring at them.
"Alright, let's go quickly." Qiu Xi endured, stepped forward, took Hua Linglong's arm, and turned her to walk forward.
"Tang Tang, you lead the way, we're going to the hot pot restaurant."
"Okay!"
They ate hot pot until late in the evening.
...
"I'll take you to a square, it's very lively at this time."
"All sorts of people are there, and there's a particularly relaxed feeling there."
As she spoke, Tang Siran slowly led the three who had just come out.
"This is it..."
At a glance, the square wasn't that large, but quite a few people had already gathered.
In the center of the square was a fountain, but the water flow was small, sprinkling gently.
The outer edge of the fountain was enclosed by marble. Because the water was little, many people were already sitting there.
Upon entering, one could hear the sound of a violin, melodious...
Walking around, there were still many people, old and young, painting, singing... the scene looked very peaceful.
"If you walk out from that small path over there, there's a large lawn, and a lake in the distance. It's very beautiful, but it's quieter over there, with not many people..."
Tang Siran, leading the three in, said softly to them.
"The atmosphere here looks really good~"
"If you like it, you can join them. They're very enthusiastic, and it's quite fun to play with them."
"Let's go and take a look."
"Okay~"
And so, in the square that followed, one could see such a scene.
Four young girls, walking lightly, sometimes swaying in front of the violinist, sometimes playing with children by the fountain, and the next moment posing as models for painters...
"It's so nice~"
"This kind of life is quite comfortable~"
The four of them, who had come out from the small path, were now sitting on the lawn outside.
Compared to the liveliness next door, this place was exceptionally quiet.
Every three to five meters, one or two young people sat listening to music or reading. By the distant lake, a few small animals swam. From such a distance, it was impossible to tell if they were ducks or swans, but they occasionally flapped their wings, causing people to smile.
Time slowly passed, and the people who were sitting down had now reclined, letting the breeze blow...
Gently closing their eyes, this moment was exceptionally tranquil.
