The three men sat by the campfire and talked all night, looking at the carnival men and women around the bonfire, and the three of them talked about cooperation while drinking, which was also very pleasant.

Unconsciously by the time of the Buddha's dawn, the sky has been slightly bright, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the Naxi Valley is very large, the noon of the day can be more than 20 degrees Celsius, and the night will be relatively cold and may reach 0 o'clock.

At the time of Foxiao, it was the lowest temperature of the day, many people had lost their energy after a night of carnival, many people came in to rest in the tent to rest, and the bands around the bonfire had died down at this time, after all, Ruby was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he stayed up all night with Guan Hao and Luke, and drank a lot of whiskey, and people couldn't hold on for a long time, so they had to tell Guan Hao to go to rest first.

Now only Guan Hao and Luke are left, and Luke wants to drink again, Guan Hao stopped it and proposed to go for a morning run, but Luke had to accompany Guan Hao.

Exercising in the morning is what Guan Hao must do every day, Guan Hao and Luke went to the car to get their sports clothes, found a place to change them, and started jogging along Lotus Fort.

At this time, it was only more than five o'clock in the morning, the sky was not yet bright, only to see the century-old castle: Lotus Fort was shrouded in a thick fog, in order to facilitate the evening activities of the people participating in the open barrel music festival, the Jack family specially installed street lighting facilities in the music festival area, at this time the dim lights were set off against the thick fog, it seemed quite mysterious, because last night fireworks were set off and bonfires were burned all night, there was more particulate matter in the atmosphere, and the air quality was not very good, originally Lotus Fort was located in the hinterland of the Naxi Valley and was foggy in winter.

Guan Hao took Luke to jog along the gravel path, at first there were people and lights, and there was no one running and running, and then there were no street lights, both of them were masters of art and bold, not afraid of anything, running along the path all the way, the fog also dissipated a lot, and the air became fresher.

After jogging like this for about forty minutes, both of them were sweating, and it was getting dark, so they slowed down and began to walk briskly.

In the past few days, the two have also enhanced their relationship after getting along, they are of the same age, they have a hobby of communication, and the key is that they have a mission, so the two get along very happily, like brothers.

Guan Hao walked while teaching Luke some basic kung fu of country C, Luke was very smart and could basically master it once, and he was very excited like a child.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the early morning time was so beautiful: the clouds on the horizon piled up into a pale cyan, extending wave after wave, and the color progressed layer by layer, gradually turning into a faint orange. Soon, the orange edge was reddish, and the reddish became bright and bright, and the sun carefully made an arc out of the yellow. The white clouds not far away pulled the filaments and became transparent. The gray-blue of the sky broke free from the shackles of night, and the pale blue sky stretched comfortably into an infinite expanse.

The sun came out, and it was a delicate morning sun, blushing and glowing with a not-so-dazzling light. The surrounding clouds are also dyed with orange and red colors, and they have a posture and vitality. At this time, the sky seemed to be washed, completely blue, and thoroughly clean. Even the white clouds in the distance were reluctant to make a mistake, and floated in a regular manner. The naughty wind hides his figure, and only occasionally shows his skills. In the early morning in the Naxi Valley, Guan Hao and Luke's exercise route has been far away from the noisy Lotus Fort, where the original red maple and oak trees are forested, and the air is fresh, but the air is slightly damp.

Guan Hao greedily took a big breath of fresh air, stretched his body, pulled Luke beside him and said, "Good morning, brother!" Let's go back! Today Lily is going to take us to the ski slopes for skiing. ”

The two jogged back to Lotus Castle, two sturdy and handsome young men: an east face and a west face ran in unison, the people who stayed up all night watched Guan Hao and Luke jogging in a chic manner, many girls screamed, and instantly Guan Hao Luke became a beautiful scenery in the early morning.

Just when the two of them were a little proud, a pretty figure in a white tracksuit stopped Guan Hao.

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time since I got up? ”

"I'm sorry, we drank and chatted until dawn last night, and then went for a morning run."

"Humph! Don't call me for a morning run, punish you for breakfast with me! ”

"Alright! Yes, ma'am! ”

"Have you been exercising in this outfit?" Guan Hao saw Lily dressed up in sportswear.

"Not yet? Will you be able to run again? Exercise with me again! ”

"I don't have a problem, you lead the way! I'll accompany you in practice again! ”

"Brother, are you okay?"

"I don't have a problem!"

"Alright then, you lead the way in front, and Rook and I accompany you!"

So, in the early morning of the second day of the opening of the festival, Lotus Castle appeared: a beautiful girl in front, a teenager with an oriental face followed, and a tall and handsome western boy behind the three-person jogging procession.

Just after the three of them ran less than a hundred meters, Luke ran with a group of girls behind him, and after a while, someone joined the jogging team, and in less than ten minutes, the jogging team became longer and longer, starting from Lily in the lead, and then to the long line behind, spreading a total of several hundred meters, men and women, teenagers, middle-aged, elderly, light, short-haired, long-haired, yellow, white, and black.......

Lily originally wanted to go for a morning run with Guan Hao alone, but now it has become a group run, seeing that there are more and more people following, as the owner, Lily has to take a large group of people to run to the more open area outside Lotus Castle.

At first, this group of people joined in the fun, but when they started running, everyone found that it felt good for a group of people to jog together in the morning, and gradually the crowd became orderly from the initial noise, and everyone spontaneously lined up in a long line.

Lily led the long line of joggers all the way to a natural lake, Lily motioned for everyone to stop and rest, Guan Hao picked up his sweat towel and wiped his face with Lily, who was sweating slightly, Lily took Guan Hao's hand and said, "Hao, do you think it's beautiful here?" ”

"It's so beautiful here! Look how clear the water is! And the snow-capped mountains in the distance, you look at the red maple forests and oak forests over there, wow! It's a paradise. “

"That's right, this is where I grew up healing, did you see that? The hut by the lake in front of you? I stay here for a few days every year, and it was built for me by my father when I was twelve years old, and of course it will belong to both of us in the future. ”

Guan Hao was moved by Lily's words, and stopped to carefully observe the plateau lake that already belonged to him: the thick fog of the early morning had slowly dissipated, and the sun had come out, and the red sun was reflected on the mirror-like lake, giving people a kind of thriving power, and occasionally one or two unknown water birds would fly by in the sky, and there were actually a few white swans frolicking and foraging in the reeds not far away.

The shadows of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the reflections of the nearby woods, and the blue sky and white clouds are all reflected on the quiet lake, just like a traditional ink landscape painting of country C, which makes people intoxicated when they see it.

The water vapor in the lake, under the action of the breeze, turned into floating clouds, rising along the surface of the lake, gradually diffusing to the snow-capped mountains in the distance, along the valley along the only channel, all the way unpredictable, there is a wind blowing, the water vapor is thick like wine, light like a dream, here is like a fairyland.

The amazed strolling crowd, after resting, continued along the wooden paved path around the lake, hundreds of people walked around the lake without making a sound, everyone was afraid of making a sound to break this rare quiet.

Under the leadership of Lily, everyone walked around the lake for about six kilometers, and finally returned to Lotus Fort along the way they came.

On the way back, Guan Hao asked Lily, "Lily, does such a beautiful lake have a name?" ”

"Because under the snow-capped mountains, there is hot spring water flowing into the lake, and the lake water is warm like spring all year round, and our family calls it Hot Spring Lake."

"The hot spring lake doesn't sound good, I want to change her name to Lily Lake? May I? ”

"Yes, if you want to change it, you can change it, anyway, this lake is my dowry, and it will be yours in the future."

With the walk of 100 people around the lake this morning, it can be regarded as a precedent for Lily and Guan Hao, and there will be a new traditional program for the open barrel music of Lotus Fort in the future, that is, the Lily Lake Race Walk.

This event was originally intended as a morning workout program of the Lotus Fort Open Barrel Music Festival, and later an official of the National A Sports Federation was also a music lover after participating in the Lotus Fort Open Barrel Music Festival, and found that the beautiful scenery and unique plateau climate of Lily Lake were very much held in the winter of the winter race walking competition, and it was also the official's call that finally successfully held the first International Race Walking Invitational Tournament in the winter of 2000, for which Lotus Castle, Lily Lake and the Jack Peak Ski Resort not far from Lily Lake are famous all over the world. In 2002, the Jack family's Jack Daniel's whisky was voted the world's best whisky, making the Jack family's distillery one of the world's top 500 companies.

This is all later, at this time, Guan Hao was taken to the Lotus Castle guest room by Lily, and Guan Hao and Luke washed and changed clothes.

When the two dressed up, Lily had already finished dressing, and Lily, who had changed into formal clothes, saw Guan Hao and his good brother Luke in civilian clothes, and hurriedly took Guan Hao and Luke to his brother's room on the third floor to continue to choose a suit.

Because the breakfast party is very grand, when the time comes, everyone in the Jack family will attend today's breakfast meeting, Guan Hao, as Lily's fiancé and the future son-in-law of the Jack family, will make her debut and naturally dress more formally.

Lily's brother Cage, although he has bad habits, but his taste and aesthetics of clothing are really impeccable, the formal wear in his wardrobe is all boutique, since he came, Guan Hao and Luke are not welcome, picked their favorite style, put it on, after changing, the two followed Lily downstairs, and came to the hall on the first floor, came down to see, it was amazing, dozens of people sat at the dining table, and they all looked curiously at the three people who came downstairs, there are really a lot of people in the Jack family, and most of them are women,

Guan Hao's performance last night has been seen by everyone, and today he attended the morning breakfast meeting as the quasi-son-in-law of the Jack family, and all the members of the family were present, so naturally he had to see more of this magical son-in-law from the East.

The breakfast is really quite rich, and Guan Hao, who is from the capital of food, can't help but sigh, it seems that the Jack family has a very high standard of reception for him, maybe it is the feeling of Guan Hao's helping hand at a critical juncture, or it may be an affirmation of Guan Hao's amazing piano playing level, in short, the Jack family recognized Guan Hao.
