Chapter 43: We Will Shine Together
Song Ran put one hand on her hip and roared, “Why are you always so responsible?”
The security officer laughed in the back and said, “Young lady, your boyfriend is right. You shouldn’t leave the sightseeing boats lying around.”
Song Ran grumbled, “My boyfriend just saved a life. How are you going to go about thanking him?”
“About that. I need to consult my supervisor. Perhaps, a pennant as a gift?”
Song Ran applauded and said, “Auntie, you have to keep your word. I will remember what you promised about the pennant. You have to send it to his research institute in Songshan County.”
If a good deed is done, he should leave his name. Only then, would his supervisor in the research institute know about it and record his credit points.
The security officer laughed and said, “Don’t worry young lady. I will definitely acknowledge this.”
Turning around, Gu Jinghang was already in the boat. He reached out his hand. Song Ran grabbed onto it and he used the strength in his hand to pull her into an embrace.
The small boat swayed as they traveled. There were pockets of shade from the tree and the rays of sunlight were occasionally hidden. On the boat ride, they saw half a tree trunk submerged in the water while the other half was exposed in the air. The tree was like Song Ran’s love and admiration for Gu Jinghang – not revealing, yet firm and strongly rooted.
Although she blamed him, her heart was filled with admiration. To her, Gu Jinghang was the unrivaled hero who would step on rainbow clouds to marry her. He was the greatest hero in her heart.
Gu Jinghang held onto her until she had sat down safely. Song Ran tugged on his short-sleeved shirt and Gu Jinghang turned to look back at the shore. When he saw that everyone had left, he let out a sigh of relief.
Song Ran said in a nasty tone, “Why are you acting like a thief? What did you think I was going to do?”
Gu Jinghang laughed softly and said, “There’s no one here anymore. You can do whatever you want.”
Song Ran snorted softly, “Hmph! What are you thinking of?”
As she was speaking, she started twisting the edges of his shirt to get rid of the water. The sound of water dripping onto the wooden planks of the boat was audible. Gu Jinghang was so moved. He wanted to say something, but he only opened his lips without saying a single word.
“Ran, can we sit in the boat for a while? There is a huge breeze on the river. My shirt would dry faster this way.”
Song Ran was seated with her chin on one hand. She looked at him attentively and said, “Okay, we can sit here until your shirt dries.”
The small boat drifted along the waves. The couple was enjoying the breeze along with the food and drinks that Song Ran had brought along. On the shore, there was even a grandpa playing the erhu. What a beautiful natural scene.
Let us swing the oars
As the boat pushes the waves.
The sea reflects the beautiful white pagoda
Surrounded by green trees and red walls…
Team Leader Gu clapped and said, “Ran, you are such a great singer.”
Song Ran turned her head to look at him and she said, “If I were to become a superstar and sing in television shows, what would you think about that?”
Gu Jinghang was a little stunned. Instinctively, he did not want that. The current Ran belonged to him and him alone. If she really became a superstar, how many people would adore her? How many people would want to meet her?
And among these people, how many of them would be outstanding?
Team Leader Gu was not so confident that his Ran would still choose him over so many other capable people.
He was in a daze. Song Ran waved her hands in front of his face and said, “My Jinghang, what are you daydreaming about?”
Gu Jinghang recovered from his daze and said while smiling, “No… nothing.”
“I was asking you a question. Should I be a superstar?”
Gu Jinghang stared at her and said, “Would you like to be one?”
Song Ran ruffled her hair and said, “Of course. I like to sing and act. I feel that I’m suited for it.”
