Chapter 707: Make Her Smile
It’s quite cold in the early morning in late autumn in Beijing.
Su Zekai was wearing a rather thick coat.
He was thinking in his mind, when he saw Zhang Xueyan later, should he take off his coat and give it to her?
He is willing to take it off, it doesn't matter if he feels cold.
But...will she wear it if he takes it off? And isn't this action a bit over the line?
Su Zekai was just struggling with his thoughts when he saw the slim figure that made his heart beat faster walking out of the dormitory building.
He stood straight, smiled properly, and greeted her, "Good morning."
"Good morning." Zhang Xueyan approached Su Zekai and asked him, "How long have you been waiting?"
"Not long. I've only been here for two minutes."
There was no need to let her know that he arrived nearly twenty minutes early.
Su Zekai's eyes fell on Zhang Xueyan's clothes. Seeing that she was also wearing a coat that was obviously quite warm, he sighed in his heart, well, he didn't have to worry about it this time...
Zhang Xueyan said, "Shall we go?"
"Oh well."
The two walked out of the school gate together.
At this time, the subway and buses were not open yet, so they took a taxi that was waiting for work in the late shift and headed to Tiananmen Square.
The time of the flag-raising ceremony is not fixed. It will be adjusted according to the sunrise and sunset times in the capital, and the time is different every day.
It is now late October, and the flag-raising time is around 6:30.
It was not yet four o'clock when Zhang Xueyan and Su Zekai arrived, and there were already quite a few people queuing up.
The two chose a pretty good spot to stand.
Su Zekai asked Zhang Xueyan, "Have you ever been to see the flag-raising ceremony before?"
"Yes, I have come to see it."
Su Zekai felt warm and guilty.
She has already seen it, is she willing to accompany me again?
And I have to get up early with him and wait here with him for several hours...
He said, "I should have known not to let you come with me."
Zhang Xueyan smiled at him, "It's okay, I want to come and see it again."
Su Zekai tried hard to find words to say, "Are you cold?"
"It's okay, not too cold." said Zhang Xueyan.
Su Zekai moved to a position to block the cool wind for her.
The two of them chatted in low voices, and more than two hours passed in a flash.
The flag-raising ceremony was about to begin. Everyone around fell silent and the atmosphere became solemn.
The five-star red flag rose slowly to the sound of the inspiring national anthem. Everyone saluted the national flag and sang the national anthem along with the melody.
It was Su Zekai’s first time to watch the flag-raising ceremony. Witnessing this solemn scene, he suddenly felt a deep sense of pride and honor in his heart.
Although it was not the first time Zhang Xueyan watched the flag-raising ceremony, she still looked solemn and her heart was filled with excitement.
After watching the flag-raising ceremony, the two looked for a place to have breakfast.
When Su Zekai saw that soy milk was being sold in the store, he took a look out of curiosity.
Zhang Xueyan pushed up her glasses and suddenly asked him, "Do you want to try soy milk?"
Su Zekai had heard that 99% of non-Beijing people couldn't get used to drinking soy milk, and he didn't want to embarrass himself, but when Zhang Xueyan asked, his mouth reacted faster than his brain, so he said, "It's okay to give it a try."
Zhang Xueyan said to the waiter, "Hello, a bowl of soy milk."
She didn't plan to drink, so she only ordered Su Zekai's portion.
Su Zekai looked at Zhang Xueyan's smile and felt happy.
Soon, the breakfast they ordered arrived, and the soy milk was also served.
Zhang Xueyan held a soy milk straw in her mouth and looked at Su Zekai expectantly.
Su Zekai met Zhang Xueyan's gaze, picked up the soy milk dizzily and took a big gulp.
"Well……"
He was completely unprepared, and the sour and rotten smell rushed straight to his head!
He kept his lips tightly shut, not allowing himself to spit it out, so as not to embarrass himself in front of the girl he loved.
Seeing this, Zhang Xueyan quickly took out a few tissues and gave them to him, "If you can't drink it, spit it out."
It was impossible for him to vomit. Su Zekai was afraid of disgusting her, so he could only disgust himself. He tried hard to swallow and swallowed all the soy milk in his mouth.
Zhang Xueyan unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to him, "Rinse your mouth."
Su Zekai took the water and took several gulps before he finally felt like he was alive again.
Zhang Xueyan found that the corners of his eyes were red and covered with a layer of mist, making him look dull and pitiful.
Apparently he was choked badly by that mouthful of soy milk.
She couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then she couldn't stop laughing for a long time with her shoulders shaking.
Su Zekai: “…”
He looked at Zhang Xueyan, whose smile was as beautiful as a flower, with a look of helplessness and a hint of accusation in his eyes.
Zhang Xueyan finally stopped laughing and said to him, "I'm sorry, many people can't get used to drinking soy milk, I shouldn't have suggested that you try it."
Su Zekai said: "It's okay, I'm also curious about soy milk and want to try it."
After a pause, he added: "It's worth ordering this bowl of bean juice just to make you laugh."
Zhang Xueyan looked at him in surprise when she heard that.
Su Zekai realized what he had said and suddenly felt uncomfortable again. He didn't dare to look Zhang Xueyan in the eye.
He said, "Eat something. The buns are getting cold."
"Oh that's fine."
The two of them lowered their heads and ate breakfast seriously.
After meal.
Zhang Xueyan asked Su Zekai, "Where else do you want to go?"
From what Su Zekai heard from her words, he knew that she was planning to accompany him to visit tourist attractions all day long?
He was in great joy.
He thought for a moment and said, "This place seems to be quite close to the Forbidden City. How about we go for a walk?"
Zhang Xueyan smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go visit the Forbidden City."
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief that he did not suggest climbing the Great Wall.
She doesn't want to climb the Great Wall for the third time.
Zhang Xueyan and Su Zekai are currently located more than one kilometer away from the Forbidden City.
The two of them strolled over there on foot.
The entrance time to the Forbidden City is 8:30, but when they arrived, it was still before the entrance time.
However, there was already a long queue at the ticket counter.
The two went over and stood at the back of the line.
They bought tickets, passed security check, and entered the park at half past nine.
Zhang Xueyan and her roommates had been to the Forbidden City and were quite familiar with it, so they took Su Zekai for a tour.
Su Zekai kept listening to her explanation of the Forbidden City with a smile.
By mid-afternoon, the weather was starting to get hot.
Many tourists took off their coats because of the heat, and Su Zekai and Zhang Xueyan also took off their coats.
Su Zekai wanted to take Zhang Xueyan's coat and hold it for her, but he was thinking in his heart, isn't this inappropriate?
Before he could figure out the answer, he saw Zhang Xueyan wrap her coat around her waist and tie a knot.
Her waist was brought out, showing off her good figure, and she looked pretty good overall.
Su Zekai took a look and quickly looked away.
He asked, "Are you hungry? Shall we find a place to have lunch?"
Zhang Xueyan wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue and said, "It's okay. I'm not very hungry, but I'm a little hot."
Su Zekai saw the Ice House Restaurant not far away, with an outdoor rest area with parasols.
He suggested, "Why don't we go sit over there and have some cold drinks?"
"Okay." Zhang Xueyan nodded in agreement.
The two walked over.
Su Zekai saw an ice cream stall and bought two.
As he handed Zhang Xueyan an ice cream, a child ran over and bumped into him.
The other ice cream in his hand was knocked out of his hand and hit Zhang Xueyan.
Su Zekai was startled and hurriedly went to answer it.
Before the ice cream hit Zhang Xueyan, he finally caught it and grabbed his hand with a sticky grip.
