94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Chapter 113 I can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood, junior brother, you big liar.

After saying a few more ambiguous words, he changed.

"Senior sister, turn around, I'm done changing."

Song Shu felt her cheeks burning slightly, but she didn't dare to turn around.

This only led Lin Yu to misunderstand. He chuckled and continued teasingly, "Oh? How did Senior Sister know I wasn't properly dressed?"

"Alright, alright, you're really dressed now. Turn around."

Song Shu thought to herself that if she had turned around just now, she would have seen her junior brother with disheveled clothes. She was somewhat glad that she hadn't turned around, but also somewhat disappointed that she hadn't.

After trying her best to overcome her blushing, she turned around and saw Lin Yu standing there, neatly dressed in a clean white shirt.

"Oh, so Senior Sister has finally turned back?"

Lin Yu found it amusing to see Song Shu's bright red face.

He did it on purpose.

"I was actually dressed perfectly fine just now."

"Don't worry, senior sister, I won't act like a hooligan."

Lin Yu took two steps forward, grasped Song Shu's hand tightly, and placed it on his chest.

"Listen, it will tell you that I don't lie."

Song Shu had never experienced anything like this before.

I felt both ashamed and embarrassed.

He pulled his hand away from Lin Yu's grasp and punched him twice.

"You're kidding me again!!"

Song Shu's touch wasn't strong; it sounded like she was being coquettish.

Lin Yu chuckled.

"Alright, alright."

"Don't be shy, senior sister. I'll treat you to ice cream later."

Lin Yu is a visitor from later generations.

His views were much more open-minded than those of people today.

He had been somewhat impulsive when Yang Jia teased him before.

I just think these kinds of people are too dirty.

Now that he has the opportunity to have an ambiguous relationship with his senior, he certainly won't let it pass.

But he also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.

The two playfully bickered for a while before leaving together, laughing.

After meeting with Chief Hou, they refused his offer to arrange for someone to drive them all the way, and only asked the guards to take them to a bus stop and then stop.

Today's date is just the two of us.

Although Chief Hou still arranged for people to protect them in secret.

But at least on the surface, they only want to walk together.

The bus stop sign indicates route 103.

In 94, buses were still the primary mode of transportation in Beijing.

The carriage was packed with people.

There were elderly women carrying shopping baskets, students with schoolbags, and government officials in Zhongshan suits.

These days, not everyone can afford a car.

Taxi driving is still a relatively valuable profession.

The ticket seller squeezed through the crowd.

He was clutching a stack of tickets in his hand and kept shouting, "Please buy a ticket before boarding. If you have a ticket, please show it."

Lin Yu and Song Shu were squeezed in the middle of the carriage.

Lin Yu, being tall, held onto the horizontal bar with his hands, while Song Shu supported him.

They were jostled and swayed by the crowd, but the two of them were pressed tightly together.

The bus continued its leisurely, swaying motion.

The street scene outside the window slowly receded, but the two of them could no longer notice it.

They could only feel each other's warmth on the bus.

The locust trees by the roadside have already sprouted tender green leaves.

Occasionally, a few early-blooming roses would peek over the wall to secretly meet.

It wasn't until we passed Xizhimen that many people got off the train, and the carriage became less crowded.

Song Shu pointed out the window.

"Look at that bridge. My dad said they used to build roads there when they were young."

"It's under repair again now."

Lin Yu looked in the direction she was pointing and saw that the Xizhimen overpass was under construction.

The huge crane stretched out its long arm.

Many workers wearing yellow hard hats hurried around inside, busy with their tasks.

Song Shu felt a pang of emotion.

"BJ changes so fast!"

"My dad said that when he first came to Beijing, this area was all farmland. Now look, it's all buildings."

Lin Yu leaned against the window, lost in thought.

He knew what kind of overpass this would be in the future, and he also knew how many skyscrapers Beijing would have in the future.

Compared to the buildings behind them, these buildings now look like they're underdeveloped.

He nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, BJ changes really fast."

"But it's not just Beijing; the whole country will change very quickly."

Song Shu punched him in the chest with a hint of resentment.

"When you're out having fun, don't think about these things."

The bus swayed and rattled for over an hour before finally stopping at Beihai Park Station.

After getting off the bus, the two finally had no excuse to squeeze together.

After jumping off the bus one by one, Lin Yu took a deep breath.

He felt there was always a scent of locust blossoms in the air.

I don't know if it's the scent on my senior sister, or if the locust trees are in bloom now.

The weather is great today, the sky is a clear blue.

A spring breeze carrying the warmth of sunshine blows, making people feel cozy and warm.

There is a large square at the entrance of Beihai Park.

After getting off the bus, I walked towards that area and saw tour groups with small flags calling out to tourists who were gathering there.

There were also young parents with children watching their kids take a few steps, run a few steps, fall a few steps, cry a little, and then get up and learn to walk with a smile.

Seeing this, Song Shu and Lin Yu naturally smiled.

Song Shu couldn't help but hug Lin Yu.

Consider this a reward; you've done a good job in the oil business.

This time, Lin Yu enjoyed Song Shu's embrace while twirling his fingers and exhaling a breath.

He flicked Song Shu's forehead.

"Don't talk about these things when you're out having fun."

This amused Song Shu so much that she put her hands on her hips in a huff.

Lin Yu then burst into laughter.

Passing by a stall selling popsicles and soda, Lin Yu casually bought two bottles.

They then bought tickets and entered the park.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a vast expanse of shimmering blue lake.

Sunlight shines on the water.

With each ripple on the water's surface, a portion of the sunlight is reflected.

Song Shu lightly tapped Lin Yu's shoulder.

"Let me test you. What should you say at this moment?"

Lin Yu thought of a meme from later generations: "Wow, that's all you need to know!"

He replied with a smile.

"Holy crap, this lake is huge, and the water is so clear!"

Song Shu rolled her eyes and pinched Lin Yu's lips with two fingers.

"No swearing! No swearing!"

Then, she propped her face up with her hand.

"Shimmering light leaps like gold, still shadows sink like jade."

"The descriptions by the ancients are so romantic!"

Several small boats were slowly rowing on the lake.

Lin Yu watched as the people on the boat took off their bracelets and dipped their hands into the water to paddle around.

"Even the ancients could not have imagined that people would row boats with their hands nowadays."

Song Shu ignored Lin Yu's nonsensical jokes.

He immediately pulled Lin Yu towards the boat rental place.

"Come on, let's go boating!"

There was a queue at the boat rental counter, mostly young couples.

Couples walked hand in hand, arm in arm.

When it was their turn, the elderly manager, wearing blue overalls and smoking a cigarette, asked.

"Hand-operated or foot-operated?"

Lin Yu glanced at Song Shu.

"Senior sister, you choose."

Song Shu thought about it for a while, but her thoughts were gradually led astray by Lin Yu. All she could think about was that if they rowed by hand, the two of them would just focus on rowing.

If you pedal, you might even be able to arm wrestle.

"A foot pedal is better; it saves effort and frees up your hands."

She didn't realize that she was just subconsciously trying to make physical contact with Lin Yu.

He thought he had suddenly decided to arm wrestle.
