Gonggong's strange behavior on Thursday night made Chen Xiao very worried, and he even regretted not agreeing to his request. Chen Xiao had the urge to tell Lao Tian or Zhu Rong quietly about this matter.
But... When I saw Gonggong the next day, I found that there was nothing wrong with him. He was still as gentle as before, accompanying Zhu Rong. A tall and thick man, he still looked like a little bird who cares about others... Well, this look. For Gonggong, it’s considered “normal”.
Saturday is the birthday of classmate Xu Ershao - it seems that Xiao Xu has a lot of thoughts about this birthday party.
Baidao Lake is about 100 kilometers away from K City, a 40-minute drive. This is a freshwater lake in the south, famous for its excellent water resources, beautiful scenery and clear water. The most rare thing is that it is surrounded by a circle of low hills and slopes unique to the south, surrounding a large lake in the middle. On the lake, small islands are dotted like pearls scattered on a disk.
The islands on the lake are large and small. It is said that when the water level is at its lowest every year, there are more than 200 islands exposed on the lake. Hence the name "Hundred Island Lake".
Such a great place with outstanding people, the Xu family bid for the development rights of this land at a high price two years ago. After exploration, they selected several small islands with the best geographical environment on the lake to develop a resort. It's just that it's not officially open to the public yet - it's just a taste for Mr. Xu Ershao.
Foshou Island—This is the largest island on Baidao Lake. The highest point on the island is a small hillside, and satellite and mobile communication signal receiving towers have been erected on the top of the hillside. Below is a small forest. The south side of the island is a flat terrain, where a row of holiday villas have been built and a high-end hotel model service system has been introduced. A pier has also been built on the shore of the lake, where yachts are moored.
It can be said that this place is definitely a good place for wealthy people to take a vacation and relax. It must be the unique vision of the old man of the Xu family that he valued this place in the first place.
The company's prince brought people to stay, and the employees of the island resort were naturally full of energy to receive them.
On Saturday afternoon, when Xu Ershao and Chen Xiao landed on the island on a yacht, all the staff on the island came to greet them at the pier, all dressed up.
Seeing the two rows of staff standing on the pier, lining up to welcome and bowing, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "It doesn't have to be such a grand occasion, Xiao Xu."
Xu Ershao was also a little uncomfortable and lowered his head and said: "The old man agreed to me using this place to hold a party on condition that this place will be officially opened next month. I am here to inspect the preparations here. Uh. …Don’t delay both official and private matters.”
The group of people who went to the island this time include: Chen Xiao, Xu Ershao, Yaya, Baicai, Xiao Qing, Lu Xiaoxiao, and another member is Jin Buhuan, the president of the karate club, nicknamed "Jin Buhuan".
President Jin is also one of the few classmates Chen Xiao can talk to at Kidder College. He is a relatively cheerful boy, and his family has opened several car 4S shops. His temper is similar to that of Lao Tian, who is considered a loyal and honest person.
Jin Buhuan had a good personal relationship with Xu Ershao. After Xu Ershao and Chen Xiao withdrew from the karate club, he also thought about disbanding the club. Originally, most of the female members in the club were attracted by Chen Xiao and Xu Ershao. Two handsome guys signed up. After the two left, the popularity dropped a lot.
…
After the group landed, they arrived at the largest villa in the resort. It goes without saying how comfortable and luxurious this place is. Moreover, it was not open to the public yet, so the group simply occupied the best-facing room in the villa. The balcony of each room faced the lake, and the view was extremely broad and refreshing.
Everyone went back to their rooms to repair themselves and then gathered again in the courtyard below. The sun was already setting in the west. Under the instructions of Second Young Master Xu, the resort staff had set up several barbecue grills in the yard, and a barbecue party officially began.
Since it was a barbecue party, Xu Ershao simply dispersed all the staff. In his words: It is more interesting to barbecue by yourself.
But unfortunately, these people were in public. Xu Ershao and Jin Buhuai, two rich kids, couldn't even enter the kitchen at home on weekdays. Let alone barbecue, they might not even be able to boil water. As for Master Xiao Qingxiao, he spends most of his time practicing martial arts and naturally has no time to learn things in the kitchen.
As for Teacher Monica... She didn't mind helping, but after she grilled the first chicken wing to char...
And Yaya, her current cooking skills are no problem with fried rice, but barbecue... she still needs to learn.
In the end, only Chen Xiao and Baicai MM were left to take on the job of chef.
In front of the two barbecue grills, Chen Xiao and Baicai put on aprons and gloves, grabbing a handful of chicken wings, bacon skewers and other food in their hands, and were very busy. On the barbecue grill, the flames were licking, and the aroma of barbecue was emitted. Xu Ershao conjured up a few bottles of high-end champagne from the resort. Then he opened one with a bang, screamed, and sprayed the champagne towards the other companions.
At first, everyone was laughing and dodging, but then when they saw that there were several bottles of champagne on the table next to them, they rushed over and grabbed one each, opened it and started spraying each other. There was laughter and laughter for a while, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Even Xiao Qing, who is usually relatively quiet, has a lot of smiles on her face.
The only one who was not happy was probably Miss Baicai. She took on half of the chef's work and watched Xu Ershao and the charming teacher Monica, each holding a bottle of champagne and squirting each other, jumping up and down. With a look like that, Miss Baicai's face dropped, she held a knife in her hand and cut a piece of beef fiercely...
I cut it! I cut it! I do! !
Chen Xiao, who was standing close by, saw this and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Xiao Xu’s calculation is indeed very accurate...
What also made Baicai unhappy was that while Chen Xiao was grilling, Yaya stood by obediently and watched quietly. From time to time, she took a handkerchief and gently wiped away the cigarette ashes on Chen Xiao's face. A sweet smile.
Chen Xiao would also take out a bunch of barbecued food for Yaya to taste first. Yayao watched it for a while, then tried to pick up the raw meat and imitate Chen Xiao's approach to barbecue. Naturally, she couldn't master the heat at the beginning, but as time went by, and with Chen Xiao's step-by-step instruction, she was able to learn the skill. In this way, when Yaya finally grilled the first skewer of beef that was not burnt and happily handed it to Chen Xiao's mouth for him to eat...
Cabbage is already gnashing its teeth!
Mr. Xu was busy spraying champagne with Monica on each other - hum! It’s just flirting!
Two women, Lu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qing, were discussing kung fu, and Jin Buhuan also joined them (after all, Jin Buhuan is also the president of a karate club. Although his kung fu is a little worse, he is still good at theory.), besides, watching Jin Buhuan had an excited expression on his face, his eyes always drifting towards Xiao Qing, and anyone with a discerning eye would know his intentions.
Only myself...alone...
When he was feeling aggrieved, someone suddenly ran behind him. When he turned around, he saw that Second Young Master Xu had put down the champagne and was standing next to him with a smile. He took out a flower from nowhere in his hand. .
"do not move."
Xu Ershao stood very close, and his voice was particularly gentle. He stretched out his hand, and before Baicai's sister had recovered, he quickly put the flowers in Baicai's hair, squinted his eyes and smiled, He said softly in a deep voice: "I saw it beside the woods just now. I thought it bloomed very beautifully, and it is a perfect match for you."
Baicai's heart suddenly softened a bit. But he still kept a straight face: "Where is your beautiful teacher? I don't need you to accompany me?"
Xu Ershao smiled slyly and leaned a little closer: "Can I understand that you are jealous?"
"Bah!" Baicai spat immediately and glanced at him: "What good things are you thinking of!"
"I miss you." Xu Ershao was unusually thick-skinned, pointing to his heart: "I'm thinking of you, and you are indeed beautiful."
There was no gap between Baicai, and his face was already red. He didn't know what to say, but he suddenly realized that Xu Ershao was getting closer and closer to him. He quickly took a step back and frowned: "Why are you standing so close!" Open up!"
…
In the evening, everyone was full of wine and food, and everyone's body was full of the smell of champagne. Only a small part of a box of champagne went into the stomach, and most of it was sprinkled on everyone. In the air, boxes of barbecues and The smell of champagne blends together, and it smells pretty good.
Xu Ershao drank a lot. Although he had a good drinking capacity, he drank two bottles of champagne tonight. At this moment, he was a little tipsy when he was blown by the evening breeze. He laughed and said: "It's such a beautiful night, let's play games, shall we?" good?"
We are all young people, and they are all here for vacation, so naturally no one objects to this proposal.
"What do you want to play?" Chen Xiao had long known about this best friend's obsession, but he still asked in a dignified manner.
"Playing hide-and-seek." Xu Ershao shamelessly said such a clichéd program, and immediately received everyone's contempt.
He quickly explained: "It's not that simple! You see, there are eight of us now. We can be divided into four teams. We draw lots to form a team, two people per team. Then we take turns being the searchers, and the other teams hide on this island. , first of all: you are not allowed to hide in the villa - except for the villa, you can do it anywhere else on the island, as long as you don't leave the island! In the end, if the seeker wins, there will be a reward!"
"What reward?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Boys, you can ask any lady present to give him a KISS."
The reward conditions that Xu Ershao mentioned immediately received strong opposition from all the women present.
"I am the birthday boy today." Xu Ershao said shamelessly, "Okay, let me add one more thing. If the girl who is asked refuses, you don't need to kiss, but you have to accept a punishment. As for the content of the punishment... come up with one The show is ready, it doesn’t matter whether you are singing or dancing, or even performing a chest-breaking performance. Are these conditions OK?"
Chen Xiao simply rolled his eyes - Are you really embarrassed to ask a girl to perform a chest-breaking performance
However, the atmosphere was high at the moment and the proposal was reluctantly passed.
However, there was a little surprise when the team was drawn by lots.
Originally, Chen Xiao hoped to be in a group with Yaya. After all, Yaya was too naive and unfamiliar with many common senses, so he felt more at ease if he had her by his side. As for Xu Ershao, he naturally hoped to be in a group with Baicai. Classmate Jin Buhuan looked at Xiao Qing eagerly...
However, the result of the draw: Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing were paired together. Lu Xiaoxiao and Monica were in a group. Xu Ershao and Jin Bu changed teams. Cabbage and Yaya are in a group.
As a result, Xu Ershao immediately stamped his feet and beat his chest, feeling very upset. However, no one from the girls objected, so he had no choice but to give up. As for Chen Xiao, he can rest assured that Yaya follows Baicai.
When the search team and the hiding team were divided, Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing were the first to draw the seeker's lot.
"The first game is forty minutes." Xu Ershao announced the rules: "You stay where you are and you can set out to look for us in ten minutes. If you can't find everyone within forty minutes, you will lose. Understand?"
Everyone dispersed with a bang. But Chen Xiao pulled Baicai first and snickered: "Baicai, don't cheat."
The implication is that you cannot use the invisibility power. Otherwise, if Miss Baicai is really invisible, unless Chen Xiao uses a detector, she will never be found.
Baicai snorted and quickly took Yaya to hide in the woods.
"Ten minutes." Seeing that only he and Xiao Qing were left, Chen Xiao smiled and handed over a wine glass: "What are you thinking about? If you lose, what show will you perform? Is it a fight? Boxing?"
Xiao Qing drank a little wine in the evening, and her fair face was stained with a layer of blush on her cheeks. She glanced at Chen Xiao and smiled calmly: "Do you think we must lose?"
After saying that, Xiao Qing suddenly sat down on the spot, closed her eyes, put away her smile, and listened.
She muttered quickly: "A hundred steps due north... Well, judging from the footsteps, they are two boys, Xiao Xu and Xiao Jin. To the northwest, there seem to be two girls. And to the northeast..."
Chen Xiao exclaimed exaggeratedly: "No way?"
"This is called listening to the wind to identify the position." Xiao Qing opened her eyes and smiled slightly: "I have practiced since I was a child, and I can hit flies with a concealed weapon with my eyes closed."
After a pause, she smiled again: "It's just that the distance can't be too far. If you are far away, you can't hear it... Anyway, this island is not big. We will deliberately make some noise when the time comes. As long as we alert them, I will definitely be able to find them." .”
Chen Xiao sighed: "A master, he is indeed a master."
Xiao Qing stood up and her eyes fell on Chen Xiao... The surroundings had quieted down at this moment. The two met face to face for a moment, and Xiao Qing said softly: "Chen Xiao, let me ask you a question..."
"Um?"
"At the beginning, you said that you knew a girl who looked very similar to me. Was she... your crush?"
Speaking of the last few words, Xiao Qing's voice became softer and softer, and her eyes seemed to dodge.
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment. Xiao Qing's slightly shy eyes fell into Chen Xiao's eyes. In an instant, his heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster.
"Is it difficult to answer?" A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Qing's eyes, and then she seemed to smile: "There is no need to say anything difficult."
Chen Xiao opened his mouth, but Xiao Qing was the first to say, "Ah, it's ten minutes, let's go look for it."
After saying that, she was the first to walk towards the woods. After taking two steps, she looked back at Chen Xiao.
Under the night, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were slightly watery and hazy - but she didn't know whether it was the confusion of emotions or the effect of alcohol.
"I... really hope we can win."
…
Hope we win
Winning the team, boys have the right to ask girls to give a KISS...
Xiao Qing, is this what she means
Chen Xiao was stunned, but Xiao Qing quickly walked into the woods before he could speak.
After taking a hard breath, Chen Xiao quickly caught up.
