"Student Ling, what are you doing?" Shen Yueyan asked as she approached him.
Ling Tian turned his head toward the source of the sound.
'Nurse Shen?'
He never expected to meet her there.
"I just want to relax my mind." He could not tell the truth, so he decided to lie.
She climbed the stairs and stood next to him. "Do you often come to this treehouse?"
"Yes," he replied. "This place can calm my mind, so I come to this treehouse whenever I feel stressed."
She turned to him and asked, "So, are you thinking about a lot of things right now?"
"Yes," he answered.
'And most of it is about money.'
He added in his mind.
"If something is troubling you, you can share it with me. I will help you as much as I can." He had saved her, so she wanted to help him.
"Thank you for your good intentions, but I will deal with it myself." He would feel embarrassed and awkward if he revealed his financial situation, especially to a woman.
"Then, how about I take you to Qinghai Lake later?" She didn't force him to reveal it. "Rumors say that place can make people feel at peace. Maybe you will find a way to solve your problem there."
Qinghai Lake was built by the government as a place to relax.
However, it was not freely accessible because visitors needed to purchase tickets to enter.
Of course, the ticket was very cheap.
The government wanted everyone to be able to enjoy the beautiful views of the lake, so they ensured that everyone could afford the tickets.
"Nurse Shen, are you asking me out right now?" he teased her.
"I'm not!" she denied. "I'm just trying to help you, nothing more than that."
"Really?" he smiled playfully. "But your words sound like you are asking me out on a date."
"Answer it! You want to go there with me or not!" She tried her best to hide her shyness.
"Sure," he agreed with a soft chuckle. "How could I refuse when a gorgeous lady invites me on a date?"
"You are really a bad young man!" she stated.
"I'm indeed a bad young man." He didn't try to deny it.
"Hehe." She giggled softly at his remarks. "Alright. I need to return to the clinic now. Let's continue our conversation on WeChat."
"Sure! Let's continue OUR DATE PLAN on WeChat." He teased her again with a playful smile.
"Student Ling, I want to pinch your cheeks so badly right now." With how much he teased her, she suddenly felt the urge to pinch him.
"Here, go ahead." He leaned in slightly, offering his cheeks with a playful smile.
Since he challenged her, she accepted it right away. "Hehe."
"Ouch!" he cried out in pain when her pinch grew stronger. "Nurse Shen, please do it gently."
"I don't want to." She giggled happily. "This is the price for teasing me."
Once she removed her hands from his face, Ling Tian asked, "Are you happy now?"
"Yes. I'm thrilled," she replied cheerfully. "Alright. I will leave now."
Ling Tian nodded.
Once she reached the ground, she looked up at him and smiled softly.
After she disappeared into the distance, he lay on the wooden deck and placed his palms behind his head, using them as a pillow.
The blue sky suddenly looked more beautiful, and the sound of the wind swaying the trees felt like a heavenly song to his ears.
He knew she was gorgeous and kind, but he didn't expect that a short moment with her was enough to make him feel like he was in paradise.
'What a beautiful view!'
His face blossomed into a smile as his gaze fell on a flock of birds flying in the sky.
Five minutes later, he received a message from her.
During their message exchange, he teased her like before, and she sent a cute, angry gif in response.
Once they finished discussing their plan, he went to class.
At 03:10 pm, Ling Tian returned to his studio.
Since he would go to Qinghai Lake with a beautiful lady, he chose his clothes carefully.
'Perfect!'
Ling Tian was wearing a white T-shirt under a grayish-brown jacket.
His beige pants matched perfectly with his white sneakers.
Even though his outfit was simple and not branded, he still looked amazing because he had an amazing body and a handsome face.
Once he was ready, he traveled to Shen Yueyan's place.
Several minutes later, he reached his destination.
Shen Yueyan's house was quite big. It was surrounded by an iron fence with a big tree in the front yard.
She was currently sitting on the terrace and waiting for him. Since he had sent a message, she knew he was already close to her place.
'It's him!'
She put her smartphone into her bag and rose from her chair.
Ling Tian's face broke into a smile as she approached him.
He knew she was a pretty woman, but at that moment, she looked like an angel who descended from heaven.
He even almost could not control himself because her charming smile mesmerized him.
"Are you ready to go?" he asked.
"Un." She nodded.
Ling Tian grabbed another helmet and gently placed it on her head.
Shen Yueyan's heart melted at his action.
Even though it was just a small and simple gesture, it was enough to make her happy because it showed her that he cared about her.
Once he was done, he immediately said, "Let's go."
"Alright." She replied.
Then, they traveled to Qinghai Lake.
