We finally got on the boat safely! Gu Xiyu breathed a long sigh of relief after getting on the boat.
"Is it much better now?" Ye Qinglan asked Gu Xiyu with a smile after sitting down on the boat.
Gu Xiyu was in shock, and nodded with a pale face. Mo Xiang and Feicui did not dare to be careless, and sat next to Gu Xiyu, one on the left and the other on the right.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Ruixue and Guiyuan to sit down as well.
The boatman is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a simple and honest face and dark skin. He rows slowly and powerfully, and the wooden boat is very stable. Beside this man, there is a middle-aged woman of similar age. It is obviously the boatman.
I am my wife. Although she looks ordinary, she is very neat and tidy. She is making tea on the stove.
The breeze was blowing, and the lake surface was rippled with layers of ripples. It glowed silvery under the sunlight, and it was so beautiful.
Ye Qinglan looked far away, feeling relaxed and happy, and couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction.
Guiyuan took a boat ride for the first time in her life. She was excited and excited. She also forgot about the difference between master and servant. She pulled Ye Qinglan's sleeve and said: "Miss, look, there are fish over there."
Ye Qinglan looked over, and sure enough, there was a fish swimming happily on the lake. She couldn't help but feel childlike, and put her hands around her mouth to make a trumpet shape: "Hey, if you don't swim away, we will catch you and make soup."
!”
The fish swung its tail and swam away quickly.
Ye Qinglan giggled happily, and Gu Xiyu was also amused. She unconsciously loosened her hands that were tightly holding the corners of her clothes, and her pale face was stained with a blush.
"Look, actually taking a boat is not scary at all." Ye Qinglan smiled and looked at Gu Xiyu: "Water is not scary either. What is really scary is the human heart."
Is it the human heart that is truly terrible?
Gu Xiyu thought about this sentence silently and lost her mind for a moment.
Ye Qinglan didn't bother her, she just sat on the edge of the boat, bent down and picked up the lake water with her hands. The lake water was a bit cool, and it felt strangely comfortable when it slid over her palms.
Gu Xiyu came back to her senses and shouted nervously: "Come here quickly, it's too dangerous." What if you accidentally fall into the water?
Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "What's the danger? Since we are here to visit the lake, of course we have to do something interesting." After saying that, he took off his shoes and socks, revealing his white feet and a white and tender calf.
.Then he sat on the edge of the boat and let his legs hang down, just touching the surface of the lake.
Gu Xiyu gasped: "You...how can you show your legs and feet?" This is a loss of the bestiality. If someone sees it, it will be terrible!
Ye Qinglan smiled nonchalantly and said, "There's no one else here, just you guys. What are you afraid of?" What kind of world is this? Showing your feet is considered immodest behavior.
Ruixue was also startled. She hurriedly said: "Miss, this is absolutely impossible. You'd better come up quickly!"
Ye Qinglan responded nonchalantly: "Don't worry, even if I fall into the water, I can swim to the shore by myself." In her previous life, her favorite sport was swimming. She could swim more than a dozen times in the waterway in the swimming pool.
No problem. Then I got brave enough and went to the beach for a swim. Apart from anything else, it was no problem to deal with such a calm lake.
More importantly, she made up her mind that if she wanted to completely cure Gu Xiyu's "fear of water" today, she would have to do something extraordinary to stimulate Gu Xiyu.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan encouraged Ruixue and Guiyuan: "This is really comfortable and comfortable. You two should follow my example and sit on the edge of the boat."
Ruixue shook her head like a wave drum, refusing to do anything. Guiyuan was eager to try. Under Ye Qinglan's encouragement, she sat down on the edge of the boat in a good manner. As soon as her bare feet touched the lake, Guiyuan screamed.
He made a sound, which shocked everyone. Especially Gu Xiyu, whose pretty face turned pale: "Gui, Guiyuan. What's wrong with you?"
Guiyuan responded with a smile: "It's so comfortable, you guys should try it too!"
Ye Qinglan glanced at Guiyuan approvingly, then smiled at Mo Xiang and Jade: "You two are coming over too. Look, Guiyuan and I are sitting on the edge of the boat."
Mo Xiang, like Rui Xue, firmly refused and guarded Gu Xiyu closely. But Jade was a little moved and tentatively begged: "Miss, can I go and sit for a while?"
Gu Xiyu frowned and hesitated for a long time before nodding.
Jade was very happy and was about to walk over when she heard Ye Qinglan laugh and say: "Don't come here. Guiyuan and I are already here. You sit on the other side. Otherwise, the boat will tip to one side and everyone will fall into the water."
Jade smiled sheepishly, sat on the other side, carefully took off her shoes and socks, and then lowered her legs. Her feet touched the cool water, and she felt very comfortable.
Gu Xiyu's originally nervous mood finally calmed down a little, and she couldn't help but ask: "Cousin Lan, are you really not afraid of falling into the water?"
Ye Qinglan responded leisurely: "It's natural to be afraid of falling into the water. However, you can't lose the fun of playing in the water just because you are afraid of falling into the water. According to this, if you choke on food once, wouldn't you have to go on a hunger strike and never eat again?
Is it done?"
This metaphor is really interesting, and the maids are all amused. Even the boatman grinned. There are many people who go on the boat every day, including some female relatives. Most of them are wearing elegant clothes.
Her attitude was reserved and she enjoyed the lake view. I have never seen someone as carefree and carefree as this young lady today.
Gu Xiyu thought for a while and smiled. Her tense nerves slowly relaxed.
Ye Qinglan continued: "He who does not know is fearless. People who have never fallen into water do not know the pain of drowning. Therefore, I always say it easily. You have drowned in water before, so you are afraid of water. In fact, water is not scary to you at all.
As long as you are willing to try hard, you will be able to overcome this shadow in your heart and completely put aside this unpleasant memory."
Gu Xiyu remained silent.
When she was only six years old, she was frightened by Shen Qiuyu and fell into the water. She almost drowned. After she was rescued, she felt full of fear and fear. Her elder brother begged her to keep this secret, which made her feel aggrieved and sad. Later on
, she not only hates Shen Qiuyu, but also never dares to go near water again.
Cousin Lan is right. Water is not scary, but people's hearts are scary.
Now that she has grown up, how can she still be like a child and run away from things she is afraid of? Is she going to go on like this forever?
Big Goth took her to the lake, and Cousin Lan kept trying to enlighten her with good intentions. They were the closest people to her and the ones who cared about her the most. They all did this in the hope that she would get out of her childhood.
Shadow it...
Gu Xiyu thought for a long time, and the last trace of gloom between her brows gradually dissipated. Suddenly she said: "Cousin Lan, can I sit next to you too?"
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She always loved to laugh, but at this moment her smile was more brilliant and beautiful than usual: "Cousin Xiyu, have you finally figured it out?"
Gu Xiyu nodded slowly, her eyes gradually brightening.
Ye Qinglan's eyebrows were curved, the corners of her lips were raised high, and her voice was full of joy: "It's best if you have figured it out. However, if you can't swim, you'd better not sit on the side of the boat. If you accidentally fall into the water again,
I have to jump in and save you. Although I can swim, I don't have the ability to take you to the shore."
Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and slowly stood up from the boat. For the first time since boarding the boat, she took a serious look at the lake view, and then smiled sweetly and said: "Cousin Lan, you are right, the lake view is indeed
Very beautiful.”
The lake view in front of her was the most beautiful scenery she had ever seen in her life.
The breeze blew her hair, flying in her ears and on the side of her face, her skirt fluttered, and her pretty face as white as jade held up a slight smile, she was as beautiful as a mortal.
Ye Qinglan turned to look at her with a smile and praised sincerely: "Cousin Xiyu, you are really beautiful."
Gu Xiyu, who is withdrawn and autistic, is so fragile and pitiful that she is like a fragile crystal doll, which makes people worry that it will break if touched. But now, she is standing in the sun, her eyebrows and eyes are shining with a smile, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon and reborn.
, the colors are dazzling.
Mo Xiang and Jade Cui had served Gu Xiyu for many years and knew very well that Gu Xiyu was afraid of water. Seeing Gu Xiyu looking at the lake in such a peaceful mood, they were both surprised and speechless.
The young lady at this time is really different from before... I can't say exactly what the difference is at the moment. But looking at such a young lady, people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
It's all because of Ye Qinglan's appearance that the young lady has undergone such a big change! Her smile is like magic, making the young lady become more confident and cheerful little by little, and she has become what she is now!
Mo Xiang and Jade looked at each other and looked at Ye Qinglan in unison.
Ye Qinglan's eyebrows were curved, and she smiled with great joy. Her hanging legs naturally swayed slightly, lightly kicking the water.
It was a wise decision to go out to the lake today. Gu Xiyu's heart knot was completely untied. From now on, she will no longer be afraid of water. From now on, she will become lively, cute and youthful like an ordinary girl.
.
Ye Qinglan, who was immersed in joy, did not notice that another wooden boat was slowly approaching.
The young man who was originally sitting on the boat occasionally turned around and frowned after seeing Ye Qinglan's unladylike behavior. Looking closer, he saw that the pair of tender feet looming on the skirt were also faintly visible.
visible.
The young man's smile suddenly disappeared, his lips pursed tightly, and an unknown anger surged in his heart.
How could this hateful girl be so presumptuous in broad daylight... How could she expose her feet so that others could see...
Seeing that the boat was getting closer, Gu Xinian suddenly raised his voice and said: "Boatman, row the boat to the center of the lake, we are going fishing."
The boatman responded, rowing the wood paddle hard, and quickly rocked the boat away.
Ye Yuanzhou and Cui Yu, with their backs to each other, had no idea they were passing by Ye Qinglan. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my biggest motivation.)
