When Chen Che and Lin Xi arrived near the Erhai, the surrounding scene immediately stunned them.
The entire Erhai was surrounded by luxury hotels, exquisite shopping malls, and amusement parks. This made them sigh that the tourism industry here was really developed.
They bought local snacks and drinks on the way and visited some places where the exterior might be useful, but didn’t pay much attention to the interior.
However, on the way back, Lin Xi suddenly pointed at a place. Chen Che subconsciously slowed down and stopped by the roadside.
Lin Xi looked into the distance and pointed at the shore of an empty hotel and mall. She said to Chen Che, “Let’s go there and take a look.”
Chen Che said hesitantly, “Can we stop here? Besides, we should go back.”
“Don’t you know how to drive?” Lin Xi asked with a smile.
“But 1 didn’t bring my driver’s license,” Chen Che replied helplessly.
“I do,” Lin Xi said calmly and looked at Chen Che.
“Could it be that the popular girl illegally stopped the car and made the headlines?” Chen Che asked.
“How disappointing.” Lin Xi turned around unhappily and prepared to leave.
Looking at her, Chen Che could not help but regret it, so he waved his hand and said, “Alright, alright. Let’s go there and take a look.”
“Hahaha!” Lin Xi laughed happily. She ran back to the car and took out the guitar and gourd wire.
“Didn’t you want to play a song for a long time?” Lin Xi blinked and asked Chen Che.
Chen Che took the guitar and shook his head without saying anything.
“However, what do you mean by disappointing?” Lin Xi asked curiously.
Chen Che frowned at her. “You came out to enjoy the scenery, didn’t you?”
“That’s right. 1 brought you here to let you enjoy the beauty of the journey,” Lin Xi replied righteously.
Chen Che shook his head and fiddled with the strings on the guitar. “You have to remember your identity at all times. You’re the driver.”
“Let’s go quickly!” Lin Xi pushed him down.
Chen Che stayed behind and parked the car again.
Chen Che felt that he would never have such a coincidence again. He did not expect to meet Lin Xi here. There were no people here, and the vicinity was relatively hidden. Nothing major would happen.
Thump, thump, thump…
He leaned against a large rock. In front of him was Erhai. On both sides were hotels and guesthouses. There were no buildings, only grass and a road.
At the moment, he was immersed in the music playing “Romance of Love,” one of his favorite tunes and an entry-level track for his guitar lessons.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts. “Blow the gourd silk.”
He came back to his senses and saw that Lin Xi had already snatched his guitar away.
“I bought this for you to learn. Why aren’t you playing anymore?” Lin Xi mocked.
Chen Che was stunned. He picked up the gourd silk and frowned for a moment.
“You want me to play?” he asked.
“Of course. You look like you really want to play,” Lin Xi urged.
“Actually, I was thinking…”
Chen Che pondered for a moment, then shook his head, not wanting to think about that matter anymore.
“What kind of bug is this?” He looked at Lin Xi in confusion.
“What bug?” Lin Xi was also puzzled.
“Why would 1 know how to play gourd silk? This is not a mainstream instrument,” Chen Che said.
“You haven’t even played it before. How do you know if you know how to play it?” Lin Xi mocked him.
Chen Che was speechless and could only sit at the side in silence.
“Beauty, let’s forget everything today and immerse ourselves in the comfort of Erhai.” He suddenly picked up the gourd silk and handed it to Lin Xi.
“Alright, go ahead.” Lin Xi took the gourd silk and placed it in her hand.
“Beautiful scenery on a good day, by the Erhai Lake.” Chen Che chuckled.
“Beauty has a date. What should 1 sing?” He looked at Lin Xi and asked.
“You forced it, right?” Lin Xi laughed.
“I got it.” Chen Che clapped his hands with a smile.
Chen Che looked at Lin Xi and asked, “Do you enjoy romance in a foreign land?”
Lin Xi nodded, not knowing what to do.
Chen Che blinked and handed her the guitar. “I want to play a famous ethnic folk song for you.”
As Chen Che played the guitar and sang, his first sentence made Lin Xi laugh. “The stone road in Daban City is hard and flat… Her eyes are so beautiful… Hey!”
At this point, Chen Che even let out a “Hey!”, making Lin Xi laugh until she bent over and panted.
She could not let Chen Che finish singing this song at all and snatched the guitar to hit him.
Chen Che quickly ran. As he ran, he turned around and continued singing, making Lin Xi laugh and angry.
In the end, Chen Che returned to Lin Xi’s side and said, “Actually, I didn’t mean to tease you.”
Lin Xi widened her eyes and looked at him.
“No?” Chen Che waved his hand and explained, “The key is that I’m really not familiar with new songs. 1 only know how to sing some old songs.”
“The singers 1 like are in their forties. There are even folk singers, like the one you just sang.”
As Lin Xi spoke, her eyes were a little blurry.
Chen Che sat back down and pulled Lin Xi’s sleeve to let her sit down too.
“Well, I promise I’ll sing a good song this time,” he said.
Lin Xi narrowed her eyes at him, then picked up the gourd silk and gestured, as if warning him not to mess around anymore.
“You’re so fair and beautiful, but you’re actually so barbaric. Why aren’t you behaving like a goddess?” Chen Che said with a naughty smile.
Lin Xi shook her hair and raised her chin slightly.
“Alright, something really happened to me frequently today. We just became friends. I’m sorry for letting you down. However, I think we have a song that can play our current relationship.” Chen Che stopped smiling.
Lin Xi looked curious. “Could it be that ‘Friend’? That song is already an old song.”
Chen Che nodded. “That’s right, it’s ‘Friend’. But you have to add the word ‘normar.”
Lin Xi’s eyes widened. “Is there any special meaning?”
Chen Che could not help but laugh. “Didn’t you ask me to distinguish between work and personal previously? Don’t make it real, or 1 won’t be able to turn back.”
Lin Xi snorted and picked up the gourd silk to play with, looking indifferent.
Suddenly, Chen Che blinked. “And this song is indeed very old. You might not have been two years old when you were popular.”
“Aren’t you only four years old?” Lin Xi retorted.
Chen Che smiled and did not say anything.
The prelude sounded, and the sound of the guitar became even more mellow and pleasant, intoxicating.
Lin Xi grinned and curled up into a ball. She rested her chin on her knees and listened quietly.
She had always been a troublemaker, but at this moment, she was immersed in the sea of music and no longer made a sound.
After the song ended, Chen Che stopped playing and singing.
He noticed that Lin Xi had been in a daze and wondered if she was mesmerized..
