Inside the teahouse along the ancient town street.
Shen Weiyi found a seat by the window and sat down, Sheng Ting put away his umbrella and stood under the eaves, walking towards her.
He was tall and handsome, each movement gracefully exuding an air of distinguished elegance, drawing the gaze of many upon entering.
Shen Weiyi was no exception.
There are some who become a scene in the eyes of others as soon as they appear.
It wasn’t until he reached her side that Shen Weiyi looked away and smiled, asking, "How did you know I was here?"
"I saw your friends’ circle."
Only then did Shen Weiyi remember that she indeed had posted on her friends’ circle about coming to the ancient town.
Moreover, she had just taken quite a few photos of the ancient town and posted them as well.
Despite the vastness of the town, she hadn’t expected him to find her so swiftly.
"So did you deliberately not reply to my message last night?"
Sheng Ting replied, "No, I had to finish work and didn’t check my phone. Later it was too late, and I was afraid to disturb you." He truly was busy, hence he hadn’t had the time to reply.
Shen Weiyi thought about it, this guy was a stereotypical engineer, focusing all his thoughts on the lab, likely not intentionally trying to create romance and surprises.
Yet, she was still very happy that he had made time to accompany her.
"What a pity it’s raining," Shen Weiyi said regretfully, looking at the rain outside.
There were still many places she hadn’t visited.
It really does rain a lot during the rainy season in Jiangnan.
"The rain should stop soon," Sheng Ting observed.
Sure enough, not long after he spoke, maybe about the duration of a tea brewing, the rain began to lighten.
"Let’s go!" Sheng Ting took her hand and they left the teahouse.
The rain hadn’t completely stopped; the ancient street drenched in misty rain, with the inclining drizzle and fog creating a unique charm.
Shen Weiyi glanced at the river where the black-awning boats gently drifted by and pulled on Sheng Ting’s hand, "Let’s go for a boat ride!"
"Okay!" Sheng Ting looked down at her with a light smile, his eyes brimming with indulgence.
The two went to the dock to line up for the boat, the boat swaying. Shen Weiyi stumbled and plunged into Sheng Ting’s arms.
Sheng Ting held the umbrella with one hand and supported her waist with the other. After she steadied herself, he led her into the boat canopy to sit.
Apart from them, there was another young couple on the boat.
Seeing the two of them enter, their eyes visibly brightened.
The black-awning boat leisurely proceeded along the green river, with the boatwoman standing at the hull paddling, making a "yi yi ya ya—" sound.
Shen Weiyi, watching the receding landscape by the sides, felt her mind and body slowing down.
"Excuse me, could I take a photo of you two?" Suddenly, a slight voice came from the side.
Shen Weiyi turned her head in confusion.
It was the girl from the couple, who, seeing Shen Weiyi look over, blushed slightly and spoke somewhat shyly, "I think both of you have really high attractiveness, and I want to capture it with a photo. Of course, it’s okay if you don’t want to."
Shen Weiyi glanced at Sheng Ting, seeing him gently looking at her, her heart stirred, then she nodded at the girl, "Sure, you can take the picture. But after you take it, could you send a copy to me?"
"Of course," the girl nodded eagerly. "Don’t worry, I’m really good at taking photos, I’ll definitely make you both look good." After saying this, she smiled to herself again, "Though, you both are already quite attractive."
