A stroll by the sea

  Time suddenly passed very quickly, and it was already the time for Lian to get off work. Whale King said: "My boat is parked at the dock in the port area, I can drop you off at school on my way."

  Luoleng thought for a moment, the dock and school were not on the way at all! But Luoleng also pretended to be confused, and happily agreed to take a detour with Whale King "together".

  While waiting for the bus, tiny rain threads floated in the sky, falling on my face and hands, bringing a hint of autumn coolness.

  I don't know why the car arrived at Ming Bay University so quickly, Luolian invited Whale King to visit the school and told him which building was her classroom, which one was the library, and which one was her dormitory. Unconsciously, they had already walked to the coast behind the school. Luolian stood on the beach looking back and forth, telling him which window was her dormitory.

  At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Luolian took out her small flower umbrella from her backpack and held it up for the two of them. The two walked along the beach, chatting as they went. Whale King was very tall, and Luolian had to stretch her arm to hold the umbrella high enough. Even so, Whale King still had to hunch over, which made him feel uncomfortable. He took the umbrella from Luolian and tried to hold it himself, but it was too high for him. The rain blew in and got Luolian wet. So Whale King handed the umbrella back to Luolian and stepped outside, saying "You do it yourself!"

  "Are you not cold getting wet? You'll catch a cold."

  The Whale King laughed: "I often get soaked like this, I'm used to it, and I've gotten sturdy. The word 'catch a cold' sounds strange to me. You city girls are so delicate, you even carry an umbrella on sunny days." Just as he was saying that, he saw Luo Lian put away her umbrella and get soaked with him. Although he said that, he still didn't want Luo Lian to get rained on, and anxiously said: "What are you doing? You can't get rained on!"

  Luo Lian has already put away her umbrella, and the Whale King has awakened her closeness to nature. As the rain gets heavier, she laughs and says: "Getting rained on is really fun!"

  The whale king didn't want her to get rained on, in his heart, Luo Lian was a city girl after all, but he didn't know that Luo Lian being soaked in icy water every day was fine. He originally wanted to spend more time alone with her, but had no choice but to quicken his pace and send her back.

  On the way back, Luoluo walked with her head down and picked up good-looking stones on the ground. Whale King asked her: "What do you pick up stones for?"

  "Bring it back to accompany me." Luo Lian said.

  The Whale King burst out laughing, and Luo Lian didn't know what he was laughing at.

  Luo Lian sent Whale King back to the station again, and the two stood under the station pavilion. The train arrived soon, and Whale King walked out of the pavilion and boarded the train. Luo Lian, however, refused to leave and remained standing under the pavilion, gazing at his receding figure. Whale King turned around and waved goodbye to her, his eyes already a thin line in the rain, yet still smiling. The train departed, and Luo Lian watched as it disappeared into the lush forest before slowly walking towards the dormitory.

  Her senses were still lingering from the time she spent with Whale King, when suddenly a umbrella poked out from behind her, "Strolling in the rain?" asked Yu Zhu who had just come out of the dance studio. Lu Lian's soul only then returned to its original position, she couldn't respond, she hadn't intentionally tried to create some romance. "Earlier...Lu Lian? Hmm?" Yu Zhu said with a mischievous grin, "I've never seen you so sentimental before!"

  "Did you see everything?" Lu Lian's face suddenly turned bright red.

  Xu Zhu laughed more boldly. Luo Lian didn't know if Xu Zhu's behavior was considered teasing, as she used to be afraid of people around Green teasing her about her and Green, but now she not only wasn't afraid of Xu Zhu's behavior, but also enjoyed it, and she didn't know why.

  Luoluo's heart was filled to the brim, and she didn't notice at all that Green had seen everything clearly at the school gate.
