Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online-Chapter 83, Just Teasing You, Why So Nervous?_1
Suddenly energized, she ran to the edge of the boat, reached out to the lake water and splashed it towards him. Gu Shaocheng couldn’t dodge, squinting slightly, "You are brave. You’re the first one to dare throw water on me."
Instantly, Chenxing regretted it. She really hadn’t thought through that action.
Then, a second later, Gu Shaocheng laughed playfully, "Just teasing you, don’t be so nervous." With a mischievous expression, he launched a water attack on her. Chenxing, grasping her head with both hands, had nowhere to escape.
Seeing this, Liang Huanhuan joined in on Chenxing’s side. The four of them, horsing around on the speedboat all the way back, were immensely relaxed.
In the end, Chenxing, tired out from all the fun, lay beside Gu Shaocheng, looking up at the blue sky. "Did you know? I’ve always envied my cousin’s tales of traveling to ancient cities. My aunt and uncle only ever took her on their trips, leaving me home to take care of the house. Many times, I would daydream by the window about the world outside, wondering if I were a frog at the bottom of a well."
"No, at most, you’re a rabbit at the bottom of the well, waiting for me to accidentally fall in one night while I’m out." he teased, "If you love traveling so much, I can take you on a trip around the world during the summer and winter vacations."
"You might not know, but my mother once told me, before they immigrated, my grandmother’s family lived under this Lion City that is now at the bottom of the lake. They relocated when they started building the Xin’anjiang Hydropower Station at the beginning of the liberation. Just now, at the bottom of the lake, it felt like I was re-living my grandmother’s childhood."
In 1959, to construct the Xin’anjiang Hydropower Station, which was the largest hydroelectric project at the time, the former Chun’an County and Sui’an County in Zhejiang Province were combined to form the current Chun’an County. 290,000 residents, including the ancient cities Lion City and He Town, 27 townships, over 1,000 villages, 300,000 acres of prime farmland and thousands of civilian houses, quietly sank under the waves of the Thousand Island Lake. Among those displaced families was her grandmother’s. Her grandmother was very good to her. Having heard many stories from her younger years, she had always wanted to visit. Now that her wish has been fulfilled, her feelings of joy are indescribable.
Gu Shaocheng wrapped his arm around her without uttering a word, feeling nothing substantial in his heart: her so-called parents were not her biological parents, and the grandmother was not related by blood either. But he would not tell her that, as long as she was happy. She didn’t need to know about the ugly, dirty past...but.
The Thousand Island Lake, a beautiful water area created by the construction of the Xin’anjiang dam, a place intimated to be "a bit sweet" by Nongfu Spring for the water it sources, has over a thousand islands, each with their own unique charm.
Subsequently, the four of them also visited Monkey Island, Wulong Island, Meifeng Island, Santan Island, and Xiushui Street. They enjoyed the local famous natural organic ecology fish, and after having three full days of fun, they finally headed home.

The study.
Chenxing knocked on the door, and walked in after getting permission.
Gu Shaocheng was playing a game of Go with Bai Wuqing, and he didn’t focus much on her. Seeing her come in, he casually asked, "What’s the matter?"
