I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 22 Just a water sparrow

 Wei Lan was shaking violently, like a small animal frightened by thunder, and was looking at Gu Chao with accusation and fear.

No matter how dull he was, Gu Chao came to his senses at this time.

 He seems to have frightened people...

 In a stunned moment, the fish in his hand fell into the water and disappeared without a trace.

 He wiped the water on his face, and his tanned face felt a little hot for no reason.

　　Looking deeply at Wei Lan, before she could speak, Gu Chao leaned back and quickly disappeared into the water.

"Yes, it's you!" Wei Lan's eyes widened, and she naturally recognized Gu Chao, but she spoke a little late, and there was no one in front of her, only the turbulent water surface and the sound of a stick not far away. "Da da da da" sound of beating clothes.

The women chatted happily. The pronunciation of the local dialect was different from that of the Beijing dialect. Wei Lan could sometimes understand a few sentences, and sometimes could not understand anything at all.

 It has a very dreamy feeling.

It’s like Alice in Dreams traveling around the world, everything seems normal yet so out of place.

However, the ripples on the water have not completely faded away, and everything shows that what just happened was not a dream.

The sky is getting darker, the layers of lotus leaves are overlapping, and the water surface is as dark as ink, as if there is a beast hiding.

Wei Lan’s lips twitched twice, and her face turned horribly white: “It’s... I’ve really seen a ghost!”

No longer caring about the lotus leaves or lotus flowers, Wei Lan got up and ran back through the reed path.

As soon as she stepped forward, Gu Chao came out of the water.

Gu Chao held his breath underwater for too long, and was still panting slightly when he came out of the water.

He wiped his face and looked towards the shore. Through the gaps between the overlapping reeds, he could see the graceful figure of the girl, running away.

There was a sound of water coming from the depths of the lotus leaf. Gu Yang held a lively fish in his hand and swam towards this side. "Did someone come just now?"

"It's just a water sparrow." Gu Chao twitched his lips, lowered his head, poured a handful of water on his face, rubbed it twice, and said, "Go back if you catch it." Gu Yang nodded.

I was lucky today. The big crucian carp I caught was as long as a chopstick and probably weighed a pound and a half.

His wife is about to give birth to a baby, and it’s difficult to deal with meat and fish during the busy farming period. Fortunately, fish can be caught in the small harbor. The fish can be taken back to supplement his wife’s food...

"Wei Zhiqing? Why are you here?" Fan Zuo was a little surprised to see Wei Lan here. Seeing that her face was pale and her shoes and skirt were covered with mud, Fan Zuo was startled and reacted instantly, " I’ll take you back first.”

　　Just as I walked around the path from the field ridge, I bumped into Fan Zuo who was coming to carry water.

Wei Lan looked nervous, glanced at the small harbor covered with lotus leaves, nodded like garlic, her voice trembling slightly, "Then, I'll trouble Fan Zhiqing..."

 At this time, staying away from the male protagonist has long been forgotten by her.

 She was really scared to death just now!

 She will never dare to come here alone again!

The two of them entered the yard one after another. Wei Lan was in a state of embarrassment, and Lin Qing noticed her at a glance.

 “What’s wrong with Wei Zhiqing?”

Lin Qing's voice fell, and several girls in the room and the male educated youth in the other room also came out.

Led by Yu Tingyi, everyone expressed concern, "What happened? Someone bullied you?"

“Yeah, yeah, what’s going on?”

Wei Lan twitched the corner of her mouth and tried her best to look calm, "It's okay, I just accidentally fell. It's not a big deal. Let's move on. Let's move on!"

Lin Qing looked at Fan Zuo suspiciously, and Fan Zuo shook his head, not knowing what happened.

Wei Lan refused to say, and Lin Qing couldn't ask further questions.
