It was almost November, and the autumn of the Magic City had just come. The scenery of Lake of Autumn was still as beautiful as before, and the low hills that appeared everywhere were covered with green trees.
Lake of Autumn was surrounded by a path near the lake. The road was meandering. On one side of the road was the lake, and on the other side was the thick forest.
The fence by the lake blocked many students who wanted to go swimming. Each student’s parents were full of affection, holding their children’s hands and following the class team forward.
Jim Wang, the head teacher of Lola’s class, was organizing the team in order and explaining the rules of this activity to everyone.
“This time, through drawing lots in class, we have to complete the task of collecting the leaves of 100 different herbs around the Lake of Autumn, and check the relevant information by ourselves to improve the characteristics of the leaves of these 100 herbs. You don’t have to think that our task is difficult. This time the collection is divided into four projects, and the other classes have the same task as us. So you just need to try your best. ”
Vana thought that it was impossible for 40 students to look for leaves of more than 100 kinds of plants, but when she heard that there were other classes who had the same task as them, she no longer worried.
At this time, Jim Wang was still announcing the dos and don’ts. He told everyone that at the end of the activities, the best class would be evaluated on the spot, and there would be a school organized parent-child activity after. As soon as everyone heard the news, they immediately became lively. Lola and Chloe Tang looked excited, holding hands and jumping non-stop.
When Jim Wang took class to a large resting square in the Lake of Autumn, several other classes were dismissed here. Vana looked for the class of Ethan in private, but they were nowhere to be found.
Under the order of Jim Wang, the group of people in Lola’s class also dismissed and began to find freely. Lola and Chloe Tang were going to find 100 kinds of plant leaves. Vana was worried about them and wanted to follow them, but she just caught up with them. Vance followed them. When Vana looked back again, she did not see her grandfather and Lola’s grandmother coming together.
Well, although Vana didn’t like this man very much, he didn’t do anything excessive. Let him follow them first.
Therefore, Vana, Lola and Chloe Tang quickly began to collect leaves. Every leaf they found would be put in a thick book. At that time, they found the characteristics of the leaves on the Internet, found the plant name of every leaf, and wrote down some information on the page of the leaf with pen.
Vana was absent-minded in looking for leaves. She had been searching for the trace of Simon. She picked a leaf from a higher tree. Before she could remember the feature and name of the tree, Vance, who was beside her, handed over a weed with flower.
“Vana, is this flower beautiful?”
It was a purple flower. Its leaves were in the shape of a dagger, the flower was small and exquisite, and it was a very beautiful wild flower. But Vana had seen that Lola and Chloe had been collected it before.
So Vana smiled and said, “They have collected this kind of leaves. In fact, Mr. Vance can walk around and have a look. You don’t have to be so serious. It’s not good if the liquid of the plants dirtied your clothes later.”
Vana didn’t mean to remind him, but unexpectedly, Vance said seriously, “Are you angry? I accidentally dirtied your dress in the parking lot and I knew I was rude. But that happened before I knew you were the girl I had to see this time. If you are angry, I can compensate for your dress. ”
Vana was really shocked by this man’s words, but very good, the more straight Vance was, the more reason she had to refuse him.
But before Vana could refuse, Vance said confidently, “I heard from Aunt. Linda that you haven’t lived with your family now, right? In fact, it’s hard for a girl to live alone. It’s normal for you to save money to buy a dress. But if you really care about it, we can have dinner together later. Then I’ll take you to buy two more as compensation. ”
There was no expression on Vana’s face, but she had already sneered in her heart. ‘Did your Aunt Linda say that I didn’t live with my family or was driven out by them? Besides, the dress I’m wearing is not something that can be bought with money. It’s the latest style of Armani autumn clothes. It’s a product that was transferred from the counter by Simon overnight?’
“Ha, ha, you don’t have to be so polite, Mr. Vance. In fact, I don’t care about your smudging my dress at all. I just think that the two of us may not be suitable for each other. I think you can understand what I mean by saying that.”
Vana used to refuse people, but she had never been disgusted by others like this. At most, she was taunted by others to look down upon them. But today, she really didn’t expect that Linda would find such an old man for her to go on a blind date.
Besides, he was twelve years older than Vana. There was a huge age gap between them.
“How can you say that? We haven’t known each other for a long time. How can you be sure that we are not suitable for each other. I know, I understand what young girls like you are thinking. You just to wait and see if there is a more rich man who likes you. But life is quite realistic. You are so ambitious, but you have to have a corresponding appearance and content, right? Of course, I don’t mean that you are not beautiful enough or that you don’t have any temperament. I just want to advise you to be realistic. Don’t be picky when you meet someone similar. After all, if you miss something in love, it will be gone. ”
Vana was in a bad mood when she heard what Vance said. She didn’t expose his mask for the sake of Lola and Linda. She didn’t expect that he would say such harsh words. It was not because of his character, but because of the personal insults to Vana.
Vana couldn’t stand it at all.
So Vana immediately smiled brightly and retorted, “Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Vance. I think you’re right. I just want to wait and see if there is any rich man who likes me. Although I won’t marry the richest man in the H country, I really want to marry the richest man in the Magic City.”
“The richest man in the Magic City? Andrew? He has a wife! ”
“Oh, really? But I would rather be his mistress than accept the reality! ”
Vance was irritated by Vana’s words. He didn’t care about other and said, “I didn’t expect you to be such a woman. How can you be so shameless?”
