Lantern Fruit

Lin Xuan put a few sets of clothes in an enamel basin and walked to the river not far from the dormitory of the educated youth. It took a few minutes to reach the river bank.

Walking down the stone steps, it was the place where they usually washed clothes. There were tall and dense trees on both sides of the river, casting a cool shade.

The river water was clear and reflected the blue sky and green trees. The pebbles at the bottom of the water were clearly visible in various shapes.

Lin Xuan squatted on a large bluestone and scooped up the clear river water to wash her face. It was cool and refreshing.

Her steps for washing clothes were very simple. She soaked the clothes in the enamel basin with some soap for more than ten or twenty minutes, then rubbed them a few times and washed off the foam.

In her opinion, this was enough to wash away the stains on the clothes.

While the clothes were soaking, Lin Xuan took off her slippers and sat on the big bluestone, put her feet into the cool water, bent over and turned around in the river, looking for beautiful pebbles.

The water was gurgling, the breeze was blowing, the wind rustled through the branches, and the cicadas on the trees kept chirping.

Time passed slowly in the cicadas' chirping.

"Lin Xuan."

The sudden voice scared Lin Xuan and she staggered. In a panic, she didn't stand up and sat down in the river.

Gu Langhao ran over here when she was swaying, but he still didn't have time to hold her up, so he could only reach out his hand to pull her up.

Lin Xuan took his hand and stood up, climbed onto the big rock, looked at herself, only her lower body was wet, and complained with a nonchalant smile: "You scared me, how did you know I was here?"

The lower half of her white shirt was wet, sticking to her slender waist, revealing her snow-white skin.

Gu Langhao turned his eyes away from her, "I went to the educated youth dormitory to look for you, but you were not there. I just looked around and found you."

"Why are you looking for me?"

Gu Langhao turned around and took the bamboo basket from the shore and placed it on the stone, trying his best to avoid her eyes, "I'll give you some fruit."

Lin Xuan didn't notice his avoidance. Her eyes were completely attracted by the cherries in the basket and another kind of fruit she had never seen before. She squatted on the stone and picked up an orange-yellow fruit wrapped in a gauze, smiling and smiling. "What is this?"

"Lan Xuan took off her gauze, revealing the fruit inside. It was the size of a small plum and looked like a beautiful yellow agate. She washed it casually in the river water and put it into her mouth. The sweet and sour juice splashed in her mouth instantly. Her clear red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Hmm, delicious!"

She simply sat on the stone, patted the stone, looked up and said, "Sit down and eat together."

Gu Langhao sat on the stone, with a bamboo basket between them.

Lin Xuan slowly stuffed them into her mouth one by one, her eyebrows curved, "Thank you for notifying me today."

Gu Langhao glanced at the shower gel in the basket, "You're welcome, what is this thing you asked me to hide?"

"Shower gel." Lin Xuan took out the shower gel from the basket, pressed a little and took it out, "Stretch out your hand."

Gu Langhao paused and stretched out his hand.
