Chapter 92 The Lake in My Heart

After assigning the tasks, everyone began to prepare intensively. While preparing the supplies, they discussed the details of the trip, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

Finally, everything was ready, and they set out on the journey to Green Lake with full expectations.

Along the way, they talked and laughed, enjoying the scenery along the way. Soon, the beautiful scenery of Cuihu Lake came into view.

"Look, that's Cuihu Lake!" Jiang Zhiyu shouted excitedly, pointing to the rippling blue lake in the distance.

Everyone ran towards Cuihu Lake, cheering excitedly: "Cuihu Lake, here we come!"

The sparkling waves of Cuihu Lake are particularly dazzling under the sun.

When they reached the lake, they found a place under the shade of a tree and laid out the food and water they had brought. Hu Jiahong took out a roasted chicken from his backpack and said with a smile, "I roasted this myself. Let's have a try."

Xu Guokun picked up a chicken leg, took a bite, and praised it highly: "It's delicious, really delicious!"

While Liao Zhen and Zou Ting were eating, they were looking at the boats on the lake. Liao Zhen suddenly suggested, "Why don't we rent a boat and go out to play on the lake?"

Everyone was excited and agreed. Kang Yining rented a small boat, and everyone got on the boat and rowed to the center of the lake.

The scenery in the lake is different from that on the shore. It is quiet all around, with only the sound of oars hitting the water. Jiang Zhiyu looked at the mountains in the distance and chanted: "The green mountains and blue sky are like a painting, and the green water and green mountains are like a dream. This scene is really refreshing."

Liu Mengmeng looked at her reflection on the lake and said softly, "Yes, a day like this really makes people forget all their worries."

When the boat reached the center of the lake, everyone stopped paddling and quietly enjoyed the quiet moment. Suddenly, Xiao Wen pointed to the distance and said, "Look, there is a small island over there. Let's go there and take a look."

Everyone looked up and saw a small island looming in the center of the lake, so they rowed towards the island together.

The island is not big, but the scenery is pleasant. The island is full of green trees and there is a small pavilion. After everyone got on the island, they rested in the pavilion. Kang Yining said: "This is really a paradise on earth, which makes people linger."

Hu Jiahong suddenly thought of something and said to Jiang Zhiyu, "Zhiyu, I remember you are good at painting. Why don't you paint the scenery here and bring it back to the Imperial College so that your fellow apprentices can see it?"

Jiang Zhiyu heard this and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Yes, I want to paint the scenery here so that more people can see it."

After that, he took out a painting book from his pocket and began to paint carefully. Seeing this, Liu Mengmeng also took out a pen and started sketching.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at their expressions. Xu Guokun said, "You two can really immerse yourself in your own world anytime and anywhere."

Zhang Anjie looked at the lake and suddenly felt emotional. He turned to look at Liao Zhen: "Brother Zhen, do you think the water in this lake has dreams and pursuits just like us?"

Liao Zhen smiled and patted the water surface: "Water has no fixed nature. It follows the current, but it also has the ambition to flow to the sea. The same is true for us. Although we are in the Imperial College now, our hearts are looking forward to the distant future."

Hu Jiahong listened to their conversation and suddenly turned to look at Xiao Wen: "Xiao Wen, what do you think?"

Xiao Wen put down the paintbrush in her hand and smiled slightly: "I think everyone has a lake in their heart. We are playing here to find our own lake."

Kang Yining listened to their conversation, and his heart moved. He looked at Qi Zimo: "Zimo, have you ever thought about where you will go to find your lake in the future?"

Qi Zimo's eyes flashed with determination: "I want to go to the frontier, the scenery there is unique, and the people there are tenacious. I want to find the lake that belongs to me there."

Hearing this, Xu Guokun couldn't help but smile: "Border? The wind and sand there are quite strong. Are you sure you want to go there?"

Qi Zimo nodded firmly: "Yes, I believe that only after experiencing the baptism of wind and sand can we see the most beautiful scenery."

At this time, Liu Mengmeng put down the pen in her hand and turned to look at Zou Ting: "Brother Ting, what about you? Where is the lake in your heart?"

Zou Ting looked at the sparkling water on the lake and said in a deep voice: "My lake is in my heart and in the distance. I hope to serve my country and let more people see the peaceful lake."

Hu Jiahong was excited when he heard their dreams. He looked at Zhang Anjie and said, "Anjie, what about you?"

Zhang Anjie smiled, with a sly look in his eyes: "Me? My lake is actually right here, in the Imperial Academy. I want to become the most outstanding student here and cultivate more talents for the Western Wei Dynasty."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Xu Guokun said, "You all have your own goals, so shouldn't we also have a goal for this trip?"

Kang Yining smiled and said, "Goal? Then let's aim to find the lake in our hearts and see who can find the most beautiful scenery."

Everyone agreed and started looking for the most beautiful scenery on the island. Jiang Zhiyu was painting attentively, her brushstrokes were delicate, and every stroke was full of emotion. Liu Mengmeng was watching carefully and giving Jiang Zhiyu advice from time to time.

Jiang Zhiyu smiled slightly, expressing his gratitude for Liu Mengmeng's concern: "Mengmeng, you have a really sharp eye. With your suggestions, my painting will be more vivid."

Liu Mengmeng smiled shyly and continued to observe the surrounding scenery. At this time, Zhang Anjie walked to Jiang Zhiyu and looked at his painting: "Zhiyu, is the lake you painted the lake in your mind?"

Jiang Zhiyu put down his paintbrush, looked at the lake in the painting, and said softly: "Maybe, at least I hope it can be the lake in my heart, peaceful, deep, and able to accommodate all my dreams."

Xiao Wen came over and looked at Jiang Zhiyu's paintings. She couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful, Zhiyu, your paintings always make people feel a special emotion."

Kang Yining added: "Yes, just like your poems, they always touch people's hearts. How about we have a poetry competition during our trip?"

Everyone nodded, thinking this was a good idea. Xu Guokun suggested: "Then let's take 'The Lake in My Heart' as the theme and write poems within a limited time to see whose poem is the most moving."

Hu Jiahong clapped his hands excitedly: "Good idea! I'll time it."

So, everyone found a quiet corner and began to compose poems. Jiang Zhiyu looked at the lake, and poetic thoughts welled up in his mind. He pondered for a moment and wrote:

"The lake is beautiful when the weather is fine, and the mountains are misty when it rains.

There is a lake in my heart, which can hold thousands of dreams and thoughts. "

Liu Mengmeng looked at Jiang Zhiyu's poems and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhiyu, your poems are always so affectionate."

Zhang Anjie also praised: "Indeed, Zhiyu's poems always make people feel a special artistic conception."

At this time, Zou Ting had finished his poem. He walked in front of the crowd and recited:

"The lake in my heart is as quiet as a mirror, and its sparkling waves reflect my heart.

I am willing to serve the country and guard the borders, no matter the wind or rain. "

After hearing this, everyone nodded in praise. Liao Zhen also finished his poem, reciting it with a smile:

“The lake is in my heart, my heart is in the lake, a green lotus is blooming forever.

I wish to cultivate talents for the Western Wei Dynasty and nourish their hearts with the gentle warmth of spring breeze and rain. "
