Chapter 73 How Lovely!
Chapter 73 How Lovely!
This time, the activity to the pear blossom valley was a barbecue. The group was made up of ten people, making small groups. Undoubtedly, Avril, Hal and Polly were in the same group, and the other seven people were coaxed by Hal.
It's warm spring and flowers are in blossom, and the pear blossom ditch is beautiful. The pink peach flowers, snow-white pear flowers, and all kinds of wild flowers in the grass along the roadside, decorated a ravine with brilliance. The running water was clear, surrounded by several newly growing yellow tender trees on the ground of the jagged rocks.
In the pear blossom ditch, there were grills specially reserved for tourists to barbecue. And even the fire was ready-made. The workers specially made it for the visitors. They were only responsible for bringing food to the place where they lived.
The price was not very high. 80. It was a good deal.
However, it was the first time for them to have a barbecue in the wild. Though it looked interesting and romantic, it wasn't easy to do it actually. They had no experience and had their own ideas. One said that she should do so, and the other said that she should do so. After cooking for half a day, the pleasant stream of smoke and vegetables suddenly flowed into the village, choking the smell of roasted meat.
It was until noon that the bamboo skewer was fresh out of the furnace. Only a few, most of which was stained with ash. Fortunately, Hal had prepared a lot of desserts, which gave the hungry people a chance to eat them.
They chose a clean and big stone and sat down. Next to them, there were a few stones piled up and they cast a cool and gloomy shadow. While they were eating the dessert, they helped each other wipe off the ash on their faces. They laughed together.
"Avril, do you think this dessert tastes familiar?"
Avril was chewing the cake, and her pronunciation was a little vague, "are you familiar with it? I don't think so. But it's not bad. "
"Do you like the flavor of Unusual House. The one made by the cold and mysterious Lemon?"
The people in Unusual House. called the dessert master lemon secretly. No one used that word. If this man was too peculiar, there would be no good wherever he went.
"How could it be Lemon? The dessert he made in Unusual House. is worth at least a hundred dollar." Avril pointed at a huge plastic basket on the grass, where there was still a lot of cakes left, and said, "look, that large basket. How much does it cost? Hal is a petty man. It's impossible. "
"Haven't you noticed that? It must cost a lot even if those cakes weren't bought in Unusual House." she defended Hal. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"You are right."
"So, don't say that Hal is mean any more. None of them was rich. Life was not easy for them. Besides, his health condition takes a lot of money to our family every year. "
Realizing that this topic was too heavy and this was not in accordance with today's happiness and atmosphere, Polly turned the topic back. "Avril, I think this taste is really like. It can be taken as real, even more Lemon. Hey, don't eat like a wolf. Chew carefully. "
Avril slowed down her pace of swallowing and started to chew slowly according to the way of Polly. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I still don't feel it. In my opinion, all the desserts have a special taste. Sweet! Even I eat Lemon's made as well. "
"Will there be no difference even if Lemon's?" All of a sudden, Polly thought of something. She drew closer to Avril and said, "that day, Ellen told me that Lemon was very close to you. Is that true?"
Avril grabbed the bottle and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
"Wow, are you serious? That Lemon, how could he be close to anyone? I have been to Unusual House. for almost two years, and I have only seen him appear in public once, even with his face covered. I just talked to him for a few words that day. The main reason is that it's about Hal. You know, he also likes to make dessert. I thought he was quite pitiful due to his old illness, so I asked him to teach him how to make dessert. Then I would teach him an urgent skill later, so that he could be less brainless, while being petrified by those people. "
It was true that Hal loved to learn how to make dessert, but he never said yes. She liked eating too, which was their common topic.
However, what Avril said not only didn't make up the gossip of Polly, but also aroused her interest more.
"Will he really teach you if you ask him for help? He wouldn't say a word usually, would he? "
"That's because I happened to hear something he liked. When it comes to desserts, his eyes through the white veil are as bright as the star whose eyes are rising from the sky. How blind it is! "
Clenching her fists, Polly forced a smile and said, "please change the subject. It shows that you have a guilty conscience."
"Humph!" Avril just ignored her and kept eating her cake, like she hadn't eaten anything for three days.
People near their barbecue stall all got the Hal's cakes, which were farther away. Some restless squatters came over and found alms-giving and robbed what was left.
They poured the bitter water while eating.
"That's very generous of you! Good guys are divided into two parts. The one who sees them will get one! I don't think it's a good idea to live with others. "
"That Fanny has brought a lot of yummy food with him. It's spread all over the place. Only she and Kevin eat there. Using delicious food lure in front of us, who are almost hungry to death. This is really a torture! "
"Exactly! The whole day's display of affection is really annoying! I wish them an early death of their romance! "
All of a sudden, one of the men moved his arm and winked at him. "All right. Let's finish our dinner now."
Understanding what they meant, Polly just smiled slightly.
She didn't know since when someone mentioned the couple in front of her again. She could totally keep calm. Just like some inside story sometimes posted on the Internet.
After eating the dessert, they all gave up the barbecue. They climbed to the back mountain to see the second largest pear blossom waterfall in the country.
Before approaching, a deafening sound like ten thousand galloping horses or an array of spring thunder brought a thrilling feeling. They were so close that a gust of cool, wet wind blew. Water fleeted from the cliff with the height of nearly 50 meters, just like a river falling into the mortal world. It went through the emerald green rolling mountains and collided with the rocks on both sides. The snow flakes fluttered like broken jade, flowing into the clear deep water pool below.
There were many people gathering on the top of the waterfall. Some stayed in the cold and green water on both sides to watch the scenes. Some stayed by the camera for the scenes of taking photos. Some bold people stood at the top of the waterfall with ropes tied on their bodies to go against the current, seeking the thrill of being hit by the water.
They walked up with other tourists. They were all teenagers and were so excited that they couldn't wait to go upstairs, take off their shoes and stand in the crystal clear river.
Above the waterfall, on a rock on the other side, there was a pear blossom Inn, surrounded by green water. On the balcony of the second floor of the hotel stood two men wearing sunglasses. They looked through their glasses at the group of students standing under the waterfall.
"Mr. He, Mrs. Han is over there. Shall we go there?" The man who spoke was Jake. He had been accustomed to calling her Miss Han, but when he thought that the boss had already revealed his relationship with Miss Han in front of him, it was not appropriate to call her like this.
But the boss did know such an important thing. Obviously, they needed to keep it a secret. He really didn't know what to do. So he decided to call her "Mrs. Han" when there was no one else but Bruce.
"Not now." As he raised his hand and tried to stop him, a bright smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Jake, don't you think it's interesting to stay here and watch her? How lovely, right? "
Jake was so embarrassed. He changed the subject immediately.
"Mr. boss, would you like to have lunch with Mrs. Han?"
"No, thanks! She is very happy now. If I disturb her, she will be unhappy. I don't want to be hated by my wife. Besides, I have been satisfied with watching her here. "
Jake wanted to say, 'Mr. boss, although you are easy to be satisfied, I won't say that out.'.
"But Mr. He, aren't you here to give Mrs. Han a surprise?"
A wicked smile flashed through his eyes, and he said, "are you sure? I'll send you out. Will you scare the kids when you show up in front of them? "
Jake was speechless.
Was it strange for him to wear a black suit? Before he came out, he looked into the mirror on purpose. As far as he knew, there was no more handsome assistant boss in A City than him. What's more, if she is still a child, how old does he look?
This was the kind of sadness that one could live on his looks, but had to depend on the inside.
What about the boss and his wife? They are father and daughter? In the interval of his business trip, he even took a private plane back and peeped at them, but why did he look so happy as if his daughter had just grown up? It was not far from the pervert.
But he couldn't let the boss know about it. Otherwise, he would no longer be his assistant.
Under the waterfall, two women were hiding behind a big rock. They were both in black tights and hat. Their faces were mostly covered by sunglasses, and the rest were covered by a hat.
"They wore a safety belt. How could it be possible for her to fall off the waterfall?"
"Don't worry. I have arranged everything well. The safety rope is safe for others, but for her, it's absolutely fatal! "
There are so many people around her. If she was held by one of them, she may not fall down. "
"Don't worry. By that time, there won't be too many people around her. Even if there are a few people around her, they will not try to stop her!"
