Chapter 2243: Desire is Clamoring

Su Kexuan closed her eyes, listening to the music while enjoying the breeze blowing in from outside the window.

The wind tousled Su Kexuan's bangs.

She didn't pay it any mind.

She let the strands of hair fall messily across her face.

She even lifted her chin slightly, letting her whole face bathe in the sunlight.

Jiang Mobai turned his head to look.

He felt that Su Kexuan was a little different today.

Even though she was sitting right next to him, it felt as if she were about to disappear...

Pfft, what kind of wild thoughts are these!

Jiang Mobai immediately stopped himself.

Afterward, he followed Su Kexuan's example and relaxed himself.

The cars on the road became fewer and fewer.

Jiang Mobai's speed also became faster and faster.

He enjoyed a long-lost sense of freedom...

For a moment, there was only the sound of the wind and the music in the car.

Jiang Mobai and Su Kexuan both tacitly kept silent.

However, as the car gradually approached the destination, the quiet atmosphere between them was replaced by noise.

At the park entrance, the number of cars increased.

The laughter of children, the shouting of adults, and even the excited cries of small animals filled their eardrums.

Worried that Su Kexuan would be disturbed by the noise, Jiang Mobai suggested, "I'll roll up the car windows."

"No need," Su Kexuan refused Jiang Mobai, then rested her elbows on the window frame and murmured, "Feeling the hustle and bustle of life is also quite nice."

"... Is it because of your outfit? I feel like you've become quiet today."

"Have I? I'm just expressing some thoughts."

"Then is it because the person next to you is me that you have such thoughts?"

Once the tight string in Jiang Mobai's brain loosened, he started talking nonsense.

By the time he realized this joke was inappropriate...

"Ah... that..."

Jiang Mobai wanted to make amends.

Who

knew, Su Kexuan suddenly let out an "Mm."

Then Jiang Mobai was bewildered.

He wondered what that "Mm" was for.

Before Jiang Mobai could figure it out, Su Kexuan urged, "You can drive in now."

The picnic spot Jiang Mobai chose was inside an ecological park.

The area here was very large.

Fortunately, the park allowed cars to enter.

After the car passed through the narrow path at the park entrance, Jiang Mobai and Su Kexuan saw vast green hills and clear waters.

This beautiful scenery was truly refreshing!

Su Kexuan turned her head to lean against the car window, taking a deep breath unconsciously.

After a while, seeing that Jiang Mobai had no intention of stopping, she asked, "Where are we having our picnic?"

"I did some research before coming here; it said that the flat land near Peach Blossom Creek is perfect for a picnic. Plus, you can go into the creek to catch small fish and shrimp!"

Catch small fish and shrimp?

Su Kexuan was tempted.

She even felt a sense of longing.

But when they drove to Peach Blossom Creek, Jiang Mobai was a bit dumbfounded.

He saw that tents of all sizes had already been set up here.

In front of some tents, wisps of cooking smoke carrying an aroma were rising.

Jiang Mobai stared at the crowd and murmured, "Why are there so many people? Did they all come here based on the same guide?"

"Never mind the others, let's get out and see if there's still a good spot."

Jiang Mobai didn't hold much hope.

But he still got out of the car and, together with Su Kexuan, wove through the crowd in search of a precious empty space.

Believe it or not, the two of them actually found one in the end.

This open space was located on the edge.

It was quite far from the creek.

But accordingly, it was not as noisy.

It perfectly met the requirements of Su Kexuan and Jiang Mobai.

Since they had found their base camp, Jiang Mobai prepared to start setting up.

But the moment he opened the

trunk, he began to struggle.

Hmm...

Where did that picnic mat go?

Jiang Mobai scratched his head and started rummaging through things.

But searching like this was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

At this moment, Su Kexuan offered a suggestion: "Why don't we set up the tent and the canopy? Once we clear some space, it will be much easier to find whatever we're looking for."

"That's the only way."

Jiang Mobai sighed, then rolled up his sleeves and joined forces with Su Kexuan to set up the tent.

This tent was prepared by Li Xingyan.

It was truly super large.

It would be fine even for a company team-building event!

As Jiang Mobai set it up, he complained inwardly: What's the point of making it so big? It's exhausting...

By the time the two of them finished the installation, they were already sweating from the exertion.

Fortunately, there was a car refrigerator in the vehicle.

Jiang Mobai took out a bottle of iced cola and handed it to Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan tilted her head back to take a sip, then let out a big, uninhibited burp.

Jiang Mobai couldn't help but smile: "You aren't being very ladylike like that."

"I never said I was going for a ladylike style today."

"In that case... let's compete to see who can burp the loudest!"

Jiang Mobai rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

Su Kexuan, however, looked at him with disdain: "You are so childish."

Jiang Mobai didn't care about being childish or not; he tilted his head back and took several gulps of "glug, glug."

Then, he let out a long, drawn-out burp.

Whew, refreshing!

Jiang Mobai felt comfortable all over.

He even smiled and said to Su Kexuan: "Isn't that invincible?"

Su Kexuan didn't speak.

She responded to Jiang Mobai with a helpless smile.

Back when they were in school, these boys would play childish little games.

Things like who could jump up and touch the highest leaf, who could find the longest stick, who could sneak out under the teacher's nose to buy a grilled sausage...

Su Kexuan at that time

just felt speechless.

But times had changed, and now, she felt that this childishness was actually a form of sincerity.

Jiang Mobai still maintained a sincere heart.

And as for herself...

Su Kexuan lowered her eyes, lost in thought.

Jiang Mobai, however, was full of energy.

Like an ant moving house, he moved things out from the trunk one by one.

Picnic table?

Set it up.

Picnic chairs?

Arrange them.

Fresh flowers?

Lay them out.

As for the snacks, drinks, and abstract paintings, Jiang Mobai tucked them into every available space.

When he finished all this, the picnic mat finally appeared.

Jiang Mobai pounded his lower back and let out a sigh of relief.

This little thing was truly a nuisance!

After grumbling, Jiang Mobai picked up the picnic mat, gave it a shake, and then laid it flat on the ground, following the direction of the wind.

And then...

Huh, why does it look so awkward?

Jiang Mobai frowned and stared at the picnic mat.

Then he realized.

In front of such high-end camping equipment, the picnic mat was just a toy for playing house!

It didn't match at all!

Besides, there were comfortable camping chairs here, so why sit on the ground?

Jiang Mobai decided to clear away the eyesore.

But before he could even touch the picnic mat, Su Kexuan unexpectedly lay down on it.

She even stretched lazily and murmured: "So happy!"

Happy?

Jiang Mobai grew curious and lay down beside Su Kexuan.

Hmm...

It is quite happy.

But it has nothing to do with the scenery.

It is the person by my side, it is her...

Jiang Mobai silently kept his restlessness buried in his heart.

Afterwards, he looked at the sky above his head.

The sky was hidden behind the tree branches.

When the wind blew, the branches swayed.

Even the blue sky became playful.

That rich color was a stunning effect that even a carefully adjusted filter could not capture.

Jiang Mobai felt his body becoming soft.

At the same time,

A desire in the depths of his heart clamored to break through its shackles!
