Far from the city, the island has been a scenic tourist destination since ancient times. However, tourists arrive in the summer months or more, and in autumn, it becomes deserted.

The next morning, it was raining.

The bustling marina during peak season is deserted at this time due to the season and weather. Standing on the shore of the pier and looking east, you can still vaguely see a huge black shadow on the sea in the distance, which is the island in the middle of the lake where Shui Bingyu is going.

Shui Bingyu was never late, the next ferry departed at 9:30, she arrived at the ferry ten minutes early, but found that there were people who arrived earlier than her, Meng Xingchen had already bought a ticket and was waiting for her by the dock.

"Team Meng, aren't you having something you can't leave?" Shui Bingyu asked in some surprise.

"I've already arranged for you to go to the island in the middle of the lake alone as a girl, I don't worry. Meng Xingchen looked at Shui Bingyu's crystal clear eyes and said firmly.

Shui Bingyu didn't answer, just nodded and smiled slightly, and her heart was filled with warmth.

At 9:25, the ferry came around from the other side of the island in the middle of the lake and sped towards the ferry.

After waiting, Shui Bingyu went through today's task in her mind again: what to look for on the island in the middle of the lake? What should I do if I can't find it? What is considered to be effective? If I get nothing, how can I make a difference? Do I still have to meet that crazy old man? Exchange my privacy?

As soon as the ferry docked, the moment the door opened, the people on board hurried out, and the people waiting for the boat couldn't wait to enter.

Except for Shui Bingyu and Meng Xingchen, the other passengers looked like housewives or nannies, returning from morning shopping, carrying bags and baskets, ready to return to the shade of the island in the middle of the lake before the peak of the scorching sun.

The boss of Zhangdu is in his early forties, short in stature, but not small, with two legs like two thick wooden stakes, and the lower plate is so stable that people forget the bumps on the water at first sight. He and the passengers were old acquaintances, greeting and laughing, and when he saw Shui Bingyu, he said with a smile: "Let me have the courage to guess, little girl, you are here to ask for marriage, right?"

Shui Bingyu also smiled: "Are you the boss of Zhangdu or the gentleman who looks at the face, how do you know that I am here to ask for marriage?"

The ferry boss was stunned for a moment, and the other passengers with their ears pricked up were laughing, and the ferry boss said: "It's not difficult to say, seven out of ten beautiful girls who dress solemnly and take a single boat are here to ask for marriage." ”

"Yes, big sister, haven't you heard that there is a mountain temple on our island in the middle of the lake, and it is okay to go there to ask for marriage!" At this time, a middle-aged woman sitting in the stern of the boat sat next to Shui Bingyu and said with a smile.

"Yo! His sister-in-law Liu has purchased a lot of things, and the business is booming!" said to the middle-aged woman with a smile.

"Borrow your auspicious words!" Sister-in-law Liu also replied with a smile.

Shui Bingyu couldn't help but carefully look at the middle-aged woman sitting beside her.

Sister-in-law Liu looks about forty years old, and her years of hard work have left shallow fishtail marks on the corners of her eyes. However, her long, thick and shiny hair was still so jet-black. Although the eyes are single eyelids, they are delicate and bright. The shirt with white flowers on a blue background has been washed a little white, but it is very neat, the pants are also that outdated style, and the scarf and shoes around the neck are very attractive, embroidered with monochrome orchids, elegant and chic.

Along the way, Sister-in-law Liu was enthusiastically explaining the tourist attractions on the island in the middle of the lake to Shui Bingyu, and kindly told Shui Bingyu not to go out alone at night.

Shui Bingyu couldn't help but feel a little more fond of this enthusiastic and talkative sister-in-law Liu.

Finally arrived at the edge of the island. The ferry slowly circles the island for half a circle, stopping at a ferry port with no reef on the other side.

"Big sister, if you want to come to the island to stay in a hotel, you can come to my family's "Jade Apartment"!" Sister-in-law Liu said to Shui Bingyu before going ashore.

Shui Bingyu couldn't help but smile at Sister-in-law Liu and nodded in agreement.

"Boss Du, who is this sister-in-law Liu?" Meng Xingchen, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"This sister-in-law Liu is the proprietress of the "Jade Apartment" on the island. Enthusiastic and capable. Boss Watari replied.

"Oh, what about his husband?" Meng Xingchen asked again.

"Hey, my husband, I heard that he is a sick man, and Sister-in-law Liu is busy with everything inside and outside the house and apartment!" Boss Du sighed and said.

At this time, the passengers disembarked in turn, and Meng Xingchen followed Shui Bingyu at the end.

Suddenly, Shui Bingyu felt that there was a man in sunglasses on the dock on the island who was watching them all the time.

The gaze behind the sunglasses followed her to thank the boss of Zhangdu, followed her up the steps, followed her to straighten her sideburns a little, and followed her out of the railing gate of the ferry.

Shui Bingyu's gestures all fell in that person's eyes.

It seems that this beautiful woman who got off the boat is the much-anticipated "newcomer". Although he had expected that the "newcomer" who came would be dazzling, the person was still surprised by Shui Bingyu's brightness and temperament.

The man's eyes were a mixture of compassion, desire, excitement, and disappointment.

The man couldn't help but feel sorry for Shui Bingyu.
