Chapter 1238

Yu Lili blinked and instinctively looked around . There were many other small boats nearby . Some were shared among strangers, and others were lovers like themselves . A few others were small families .

They must have been noticeable because many people looked over . Yu Lili’s face reddened considerably . She wanted to push Ou Ming off, but he held her head in place and deepened his kiss .

“Let…” Yu Lili smacked him out of frustration before he finally released her and acted as if nothing had happened .

When Yu Lili saw the looks of everyone around her, she blushed and looked down, not daring to look up .

Ou Ming, on the other hand, was at ease, and he commented, “Look . The two ducks behind you are so in love . ”

Yu Lili turned her head to look, saw two little birds with green necks and white feathers swimming together . “Those aren’t just ducks . Those are mandarin ducks!”

“Oh… Those are mandarin ducks* . ” Ou Ming grinned . “You know so much . ”

For some reason, Yu Lili felt that there was a deeper meaning to his words . She glared at him but quickly looked away, resolving not to look at him . When she turned away, she saw a pair of lovers sitting together .

The woman was seated on the man’s thigh . They were in an embrace . The two lovers were close to each other smiling sweetly and brightly at each other . Soon after, the lovers began kissing . The man placed his hand on the woman’s bosom .

Yu Lili blushed at that sight . It was broad daylight . That couple were indeed daring . But, she had to admit that such a good-looking couple was a pleasant sight for the eyes .

Without realizing it, she suddenly found Ou Ming leaning over . He asked, “What are you looking at?”

When Yu Lili turned her head back . Ou Ming took the opportunity to steal a kiss from her . She shrunk her head into her shoulders and shook her head .

She couldn’t resist looking at the couple again from the corner of her eyes . They weren’t kissing anymore, but the man’s hand remained on the woman’s bosom .

“Tsk . You’re not being honest . ” Ou Ming bent his body over and kissed Yu Lili on the lips . “Shall we go ashore?”

“So quickly?” Yu Lili looked at the time . “It’s not even been half an hour!”

“Yeah . I find the boat-ride boring,” Ou Ming said . “Let’s go for a walk . ”

A walk? Yu Lili felt very happy . He had always hated taking walks . In his words, “Such a boring activity is a waste of one’s life . Instead of walking, it’d be better to work!”

Now, because he was injured and “blind,” he could finally take a proper rest and didn’t have to work anymore .

Yu Lili’s lips lifted in a smile . She nodded her head . “Let’s go . ”

When they reached the shore, Yu Lili held Ou Ming’s hand as they walked around the park . They were surrounded by architecture distinctive of the southern Fujian style . With an air of antiquity, the surrounding landscape were very well designed .

Most importantly, there were many other lovers walking about . The New Year had just passed, so many young lovers who hadn’t started the school term were holding their dates at the park . Throughout the entire trail, there were many different couples . Some were crazily in love . Some were jesting with each other . Some were fighting . It was very lively .

Yu Lili’s eyes were tinged with a little envy as she looked around at the different couples .

Ou Ming held her close to himself with one arm . Speaking softly into her ear, he asked, “What expression is that on your face?” It looked like an expression of envy . “You have a boyfriend, too . Don’t look at them; look at me . ”
