The carriage came to a smooth stop, and Wayne jumped down first, extending his hand in a very gentlemanly manner to help Chris down.
The moment Molly saw Chris, she looked aggrieved.
"I should have set off with you all..."
It seems that being with Gavin makes Miss Molly quite unhappy.
After Tasia got out of the car, Wayne signaled the driver to leave first and come back to pick them up when it was time.
Hearing her friend's complaining words, Chris chuckled and gently took Molly's hand to comfort her, "It's alright, I'll pick you up next time."
With one arm around Molly and the other holding Tasia's hand, she walked happily toward the lake.
Truly, he has women on both sides.
Beside Wayne, Gavin was looking at Chris with envy.
"I wish I were the one standing in that position..."
Hearing his undisguised ambition, Wayne slapped him with a bear paw in annoyance.
Following Chris and the others, the group continued along the path.
Before long, the view suddenly opened up before us.
Under the bright sunshine, the shimmering lake surface rippling with blue waves. From a distance, it looked like fish scales shimmering with silver light.
Located in the suburbs, Qingxi Lake is not an off-the-beaten-path tourist destination. Every weekend, many families come here to relax or have a picnic.
As a result, many long-term entertainment projects have been developed in the surrounding area, and many people make a living from them.
In the distance, several small boats were moored on the lake shore, rising and falling with the ripples.
“Come row a boat!” Gavin called out.
This was an important trip he had planned long ago.
Imagine two people rowing side-by-side on a tranquil, expansive lake, feeling the gentle breeze on their faces...
Between the azure sky and the crystal-clear lake, it's as if the world has shrunk to just the two of them—what a beautiful scene!
“Great!” Chris exclaimed happily.
Molly excitedly raised her hand: "I want to be in a group with Lady Chris!"
"Eh?"
Tasia was taken aback at first, then said shyly, "I...I also want to be in a group with Chris."
Ah this...
Wayne glared at Gavin with a hostile expression.
Didn't you think to book a bigger boat in advance and put it here? It should at least be able to seat four people, right?
“This kind of small boat can only seat two people…” Gavin scratched his cheek sheepishly.
He had only ever thought that this would allow him to enjoy some alone time with Miss Molly.
"I... I'll team up with Tasia." Chris hesitated for a moment before making her choice.
"Lady Chris!"
Molly's eyes gleamed with resentment as she looked at the unfaithful Chris.
Chris gave an awkward laugh. "It's okay, we have plenty of time today. I'll paddle a lap with you alone next time."
She seemed to feel guilty for letting her friends down.
“Wait, what about me?” Wayne moved closer to Chris and questioned her.
“You…” Chris was speechless for a moment, “Don’t you still have Gavin?”
"Are you serious?" Wayne asked, his voice filled with grief and indignation.
stare--
Chris felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Okay, okay, I'll row a lap with you later, alright?" she snapped.
If there were a way to create clones, Miss Chris would definitely give it a five-star rating.
……
Sitting at one end of the small boat, Wayne put his hand into the water.
Feeling the impact of the flowing water, it's refreshing with a slightly tingling sensation.
Opposite him was Molly.
She was rowing hard, getting closer to Chris and Tasia's position on the lake.
Just now, only Chris and Tasia eagerly boarded the small boat and rowed nimbly away from the shore, while the other three looked at each other with resentment.
Seeing the almost non-stop smiles on Chris and Tasia's faces, Molly couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
“Lord Wayne, would you... would you like to go boating?” she asked, mustering her courage.
Upon hearing this, Wayne glanced at Gavin, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and suggested, "Gavin has always wanted to go boating, so why don't you go with him, Molly?"
Molly glanced at Gavin and said disdainfully, "No... if he's the only one I can partner with, I'd rather not row."
"Well--"
Gavin clutched his chest in grief.
He reached out and placed his hand on Wayne's right shoulder.
"Wayne, you guys go have fun... I'll stay here and keep watch..."
With a look of pity, Wayne patted his shoulder slightly harder.
It felt like some important mission was being passed down.
However, in short, there are currently only two groups of players on the water:
Chris Tasia, Wayne Molly.
On the other side, Tasia spotted the two newcomers first.
"Wayne, Molly!"
Her smile was pure and without any ulterior motives, like a pure and innocent white flower.
Chris turned around and saw the two people on the other boat, her expression slightly surprised.
"Huh? Why isn't Molly with Gavin?" she blurted out.
"hehe."
Wayne gave a cold laugh.
"It seems you really want me to stand alone on the shore watching you all play."
Having her inner thoughts exposed, Chris couldn't help but let out a soft "uh".
Seeing that she didn't deny it, Wayne shouted at her, "Chris! How dare you flirt with another woman in front of me! Prepare to die!"
Then--
He suddenly pulled his right hand out of the water, splashing the lake water at Chris and Tasia.
Transparent and cool water droplets reflect brilliant light under the blazing summer sun.
"what!"
Splashed by the water, Chris let out a panicked scream and instinctively lay down on the boat. The already cramped boat swayed violently from side to side, as if it were about to capsize at any moment.
Chris-Tasia's team was on the verge of defeat under Wayne's powerful offensive.
However, opposite the weakling Chris was another highly skilled fighter—Tasia. Tasia deftly turned the tide, diligently using her oars to adjust her direction and maintain her balance.
Soon, the brief chaos subsided, and their small boat safely weathered the crisis.
At this moment, Chris finally realized what was happening.
“Wi-En”
Her roaring manner was very much like that of her mother, Lady Ashville.
"you wanna die!"
Chapter 155 The real prince is—
The aquatic plants along the shore of Qingxi Lake are very lush, and in the areas where the water flow is slower, there are also many duckweeds entwined around.
Occasionally, a few waterbirds would land on the lake, their tail feathers submerged, leaving only their upper bodies above water, revealing their small, smooth heads as they struggled to swim forward. From a distance, they looked like a constantly wriggling caterpillar.
The leaves on the trees along the shore swayed gently in the breeze and sunlight.
"Ahhh—the weather is so great today!" Chris stretched lazily, revealing her beautiful figure, after a satisfying meal.
Now, they are sitting on the grass with mats laid out, facing the wide lake, and can smell the fragrance of unknown flowers and plants around them from time to time.
She stretched out one hand, feeling the sunlight filtering through her fingers.
Suddenly, another, larger hand reached out from the side and blocked the light in front of her eyes.
She snorted, turned her hand around, and intertwined her fingers with Wayne's.
"You splashed water on me, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet," Chris said indignantly.
Wayne chuckled and said, "Didn't you get your revenge later?"
He only gained the upper hand initially, but later not only her and Tasia, but even his classmate Molly, who was on the same boat as him, defected to Chris's side. With Molly as an inside man, the situation on the lake changed drastically in an instant.
Ultimately, Wayne became the biggest loser in this competition.
He held Chris's hand, then pulled it back to his heart, feeling his heartbeat alongside hers.
"Thump-thump—thump-thump—"
Very strange.
Even such an ordinary action can make my heart race.
At this moment, Chris was tired and sleepy, so she simply relaxed and leaned on his right shoulder, putting all her weight on him.
On the other side, Tasia was still tidying up the boxes containing the snacks.
Gavin, on the other hand, was just like a bee chasing after a flower stamen, making his final effort towards Molly.
"Miss Molly, what kind of boy do you like?" Gavin asked with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Molly also seemed uncertain.
After thinking for a long time, she answered hesitantly, "Ah... I guess I like someone like Lord Wayne?"
"Eh?"
Gavin looked incredulous and asked in astonishment, "Why?!"
"Because...because Lord Wayne is very gentle and devoted to Lady Chris."
Meanwhile, Wayne, who was pretending not to have heard their conversation, felt guilty.
I'm sorry, I'm no longer faithful.
With her eyes closed, Chris reached out her other hand and twisted his waist hard.
Wayne stared straight ahead, his weathered eyes filled with bitterness.
……
So, the group had a pleasant day without any unexpected incidents.
The enemy that Wayne was wary of did not appear; and as expected, Gavin failed to win Molly's heart.
Let's hang out together again sometime!
Before parting, Gavin waved his sleeves at them with a bittersweet expression.
However, just as he was leaving, Wayne clearly heard Molly say to Chris behind him.
"Lady Chris, please don't invite this annoying person out to play again next time."
