After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan successfully obtained temporary access to return to her alma mater by making an appointment through a mini-program.

Through a mini-program on her phone, she can not only bring her family members into the school, but also recharge and spend money in the cafeteria, and take her family members to the library to visit and read books.

If they wish, they could even retake the course next to the teaching building.

However, this access permission granted through real-name registration is only valid for 24 hours.

After entering the campus, Lan Yujuan led her family to the first three-way intersection and stopped.

Facing directly ahead is a huge boulder bearing the school motto.

Behind the school motto stone is the flagpole, and behind that is the main teaching building.

In front of the school motto stone is a T-junction. Turning left leads to the playground, lotus pond, and dormitories, while turning right leads to the canteen, library, and other teaching buildings.

"Mommy, which way should we go?" The little one gently shook his mother's hand, tilted his head up, and asked in a spoiled tone.

Lan Yujuan subconsciously raised her hand, pointed to the right, and said with a blush, "Let's go that way!"

However, just as she was about to turn right, holding her daughter's hand, Chen Mo, who was still standing, gently pulled her back, expressing a different opinion:

"I want to go to the left and take a look over here."

Ever since entering the campus, Lan Yujuan felt guilty and didn't dare to look at him, subconsciously saying:

"The paths in the school are all interconnected. No matter which direction you go, you can eventually walk around the entire courtyard."

What's the difference between turning left and turning right?

Chen Mo listened to her words, cleared his throat, and said:

"Yes, that makes sense."

"Then let's turn left!"

Lan Yujuan was speechless, but could only let him lead her to the left.

It must be said that although Lan Yujuan's alma mater is located in a remote area, almost outside of Beijing, it covers a large area and has an extremely high greening rate.

Along the way, the plane trees on both sides of the road are so large that it takes two people to hug them. The canopies of the trees on both sides of the road are connected, like lovers holding hands, casting a cool and romantic glow on the whole road.

As a gentle breeze blew, the yellowed sycamore leaves on the tree swayed and fell like small boats, each bigger than a palm.

It was summer vacation, and there were very few students on campus.

Lan Xiaoman held her father's hand with her left hand and her mother's hand with her right hand. After walking a few steps in the middle, she started swinging on the swing, sometimes stepping on the sycamore leaves, making a rustling sound.

"It's so beautiful and so fun!" The little guy smiled brightly, extremely happy.

Until a college couple walked towards us, hand in hand, sweetly following a side path and turning into the depths of the greenery.

Chen Mo glanced thoughtfully in that direction and stopped in his tracks.

"Hey, which way does that path over there lead?"

Lan Yujuan pretended not to have seen the couple from before and asked awkwardly, "Which one?"

"They were probably in a hurry to get out of school and took a shortcut!"

Chen Mo turned to look at her, and said thoughtfully:

"Oh? So you're taking a shortcut!"

"Let's go, let's take a walk around and familiarize ourselves with the route."

After saying that, he took the mother and daughter's hands and slowly walked into the depths of the greenery.

He walked very slowly, so that he neither caught up with the people in front of him nor lost his way.

After turning onto the side road, a pond came into view in no time.

The pond in summer is absolutely beautiful, with lotus leaves covering the water and lotus flowers in full bloom.

There is a boardwalk over the pond, winding and turning, leading to a small pavilion in the middle of the pond.

The couple who were walking ahead of us are now nestled together in the pavilion, chatting and admiring the lotus flowers.

Chen Mo walked along the side, blocking the little guy's view towards the pavilion while occasionally sneaking a glance in that direction, lost in thought.

"Dad, what are those older brothers and sisters doing in the pavilion over there? Are they admiring the flowers too?"

The little guy, whose view was blocked, deliberately leaned forward and stood on tiptoe to look.

Seeing the young couple in the pavilion getting closer and closer together, Chen Mo bent down, picked up his daughter, and turned to walk in another direction.

"Let's go, it's too hot!"

"There seems to be a small shop up ahead; they should have ice cream."

The little guy's attention was immediately diverted when he heard there was ice cream, and he forgot everything else.

Holding his daughter, Chen Mo left the pond and circled back to the main road. As he walked slowly forward, he said casually:

"The lotus pond at your school is really beautiful!"

Lan Yujuan didn't dare to reply, only softly responding, "Mm."

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo turned to look at her, feigning composure, and said:

Why are you so nervous? Are you feeling guilty?

Lan Yujuan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked up and glared at him. "Nonsense!"

"Why would I feel guilty in broad daylight?"

Seeing her so self-righteous, this time, Chen Mo dared not look her in the eye.

"It's nothing..."

"I was just thinking, your school's lotus pond is so beautiful, with different scenery in each season. You must have come here to admire the lotus flowers quite a bit when you were studying here, right?"

This was the first time Lan Yujuan had ever heard Chen Mo speak in such a sarcastic and unsettling way.

This state is even worse than when we went boating on the lake a few days ago; it's childish to an extreme!

She made up her mind and said directly, "That's right, this lotus pond is also a scenic spot of our school."

"When I was studying here, I not only often came to admire the lotus flowers by myself, but I also frequently invited my classmates to come together!"

"Honey, do you want to know which classmate I often invite to come admire the lotus flowers, and what their name is?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's face turned green, and he gritted his teeth, embarrassed, and said:

"Thank you, but I don't want to know!"

Afterwards, the three of them went to the convenience store and bought two bottles of mineral water and a cup of ice cream.

The convenience store is in a great location, situated between the basketball court, soccer field, volleyball court, and roller skating rink.

Outside the convenience store, there were parasols and chairs. While the little one ate ice cream, the three of them sat down for a short rest.

Chen Mo sat in his seat, arms crossed in front of him, sulking as he stared at the basketball court not far away.

Lan Yujuan sat opposite him, seeing all his awkwardness, and then gently kicked him with her toes under the table while handing him water.

"Are you thirsty? Have some water."

Chen Mo turned to look at her, a slight smile creeping onto his lips. He finally took the water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and began to drink.

Unexpectedly, just as he tilted his head back to drink water, Lan Yujuan propped herself up on the table with one hand, watching his Adam's apple bob, and deliberately raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Honey, do you also want to know who I used to come here to watch play ball and who I used to buy water for when I was in school?"

"Cough, cough!" Chen Mo turned around abruptly, choking on a mouthful of water, his face turning even greener than before...
