After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

Jiang Ye parked the motorcycle on a flat spot by the lake, took out a moisture-proof mat from the tail bag, and laid it on the soft grass.

I've been riding all morning, and I'm starving.

Jiang Ye didn't go looking for a restaurant; instead, he took out a portable mountain gas stove and a small aluminum pot.

I went to the lake and filled a pot with clear lake water, then lit the gas stove.

After the water boiled, he tore open a packet of braised beef noodles and threw it in, along with a sausage and a braised egg.

When he was in Hanju, he prepared all sorts of delicacies every day, including French steak, Australian lobster, and premium abalone.

But now, on this desolate lakeside.

He was holding a small aluminum pot, eating a bowl of the cheapest instant noodles!

As Jiang Ye slurped the steaming noodles into his mouth, mingling with the aroma of ham, he found it to be the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his life.

Jiang Ye finished the noodles and soup, letting out a satisfied burp.

He casually rinsed the pots and pans with lake water, then lay down on the moisture-proof mat in a starfish position.

The sunlight felt warm and cozy on my skin.

A gentle breeze caressed my cheeks, carrying the unique sweet scent of the lake water.

Jiang Ye closed his eyes, listened to the sounds of nature, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

I slept incredibly soundly.

I didn't dream, nor did I wake up in the middle of the night.

......

When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already setting.

The warm sun is so pleasant!

Jiang Ye sat up, stretched, and felt a pleasant cracking sound from all the bones in his body.

He sat quietly by the lake, gazing at the blue expanse before him.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the lake water rippled with a layer of golden light, appearing even more profound and mysterious.

A sense of awe suddenly rose in Jiang Ye's heart.

Seeing this lake, he even felt a sense of reverence for it!

Living in the city for too long makes people's hearts restless, filled with desires, calculations, and anxieties.

Perhaps only the wilderness is quiet, and only there can one truly find peace.

This lake is so beautiful.

It's so beautiful that you want to freeze this moment forever.

Jiang Ye took out his phone and took several photos of the shimmering lake surface and the BMW waterbirds perched on the shore.

Looking at the stunning landscape photos in the album, Jiang Ye couldn't help but think of Xia Yu.

If Xia Yu were here and saw such a beautiful lake, would her usually cold face also show an expression of amazement?

Jiang Ye suddenly felt a strong urge to share these photos with Xia Yu.

By the way, I would also like to apologize for the barbed words I said on the phone the other night.

After all, it's not very manly of him to not only cancel his social engagements late at night to go see him, but also to be sarcastic and dismissive.

Jiang Ye opened WeChat and clicked on Xia Yu's profile picture.

He tapped a few keys on the keyboard: "Look, I've discovered an absolutely stunning lake."

However, after he finished typing, his thumb remained hovering over the "send" button, hesitating to press it.

"never mind."

Jiang Ye gave a wry smile, shook his head, and deleted the words he had typed out one by one.

Xia Yu is probably busy with all the meetings and reports at Blue Ocean Group right now, how could he have time to look at the landscape photos he posted?

Even if they see it, they'll probably just give a cold "oh" or not reply at all.

Why bother making a fool of yourself?

Jiang Ye sighed and exited the chat interface.

Jiang Ye selected nine of his most satisfying photos and added the caption: "Sapphires in the wilderness, a sanctuary for the soul."

Click send.

After posting, he habitually scrolled down through his WeChat Moments.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped.

There is a red number notification in the message list.

Jiang Ye clicked on it and was stunned.

The post he made on his WeChat Moments a couple of days ago, titled "The blue lotus I've been waiting for for ten years is finally on its way," has now received an extra like.

The profile picture of the person who liked the post is a cold and beautiful blue rose.

It was summer rain.

Jiang Ye looked at the small like icon and couldn't help but smile slightly.

I was arguing with him on the phone just two days ago, yelling at him that he was sick and telling him to spend the rest of his life with motorcycles.

I actually secretly liked his post today?

Have they made up?

Or is it that this aloof female CEO is actually secretly keeping an eye on his activities?

The thought of Xia Yu probably holding her phone, biting her lip, and struggling for a long time before finally clicking the "like" button made Jiang Ye feel much better.

However, this good mood only lasted a few seconds.

Jiang Ye slapped his thigh and cursed himself under his breath.

"Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye, are you a shameless bastard?"

"I finally managed to get away on a motorcycle trip, why am I still thinking about that woman!"

He pursed his lips, forcibly banishing Xia Yu's image from his mind.

Women will only affect the speed at which he draws his sword and the force with which he twists the accelerator!

Just as Jiang Ye was about to put away his phone, pack his things, and continue on his way.

Suddenly, a soft "splashing" sound came from the previously calm lake surface.

Jiang Ye looked in the direction of the sound.

A dilapidated little wooden boat slowly emerged from the reeds not far from the shore.

A middle-aged man in his forties was standing on the boat.

The man was wearing a faded coarse cloth jacket and a tattered straw hat. He was holding a fishing net and skillfully fishing in the lake.

The sudden appearance of a fisherman in this desolate lake surprised Jiang Ye.

The middle-aged fisherman had obviously also seen the river on the shore.

More accurately, they saw Jiang Ye's extravagantly styled BMW Waterbird parked on the shore.

The fisherman stopped casting his net, stared at the motorcycle for a few seconds, then turned the boat around, rowed slowly, and brought it closer to the shore.

"Young man, why did you run so far by yourself?"

As soon as the boat docked, the middle-aged man greeted Jiang Ye in Mandarin with a slight northern accent.

Jiang Ye stood up, patted the grass clippings off his buttocks, and sized up the man in front of him.

The man looked to be in his forties, with dark and rough skin from years of exposure to the sun and wind, and wrinkles around his eyes.

However, when Jiang Ye saw his face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The man had very regular features, and his brows exuded an indescribable refined and elegant air.

Although he was dressed in tattered fisherman's clothes and held a fishing net in his hand, his eyes were deep and calm, not at all like an ordinary country man fishing in a wild lake for a living.

Instead, he seems more like a well-read person, or a wise man who has experienced great trials and tribulations and has retired to the countryside.

"Yeah, just out for a stroll." Jiang Ye nodded with a smile, offering him a cigarette. "Uncle, what's your name?"

The man put down the fishing net, wiped his hands on his clothes, and took the cigarette Jiang Ye offered him.

The man held the cigarette to his nose, sniffed it, but didn't light it. Instead, he tucked it behind his ear and said with a smile, "No need for formalities, my surname is Yu. Yu in a superfluous way! Yu Changfeng! Just call me Old Yu from now on!"
