The two of them engaged in a lively discussion, ranging from Asimov to Liu Cixin, from "The Three-Body Problem" to "Galactic Empire," thoroughly enjoying their conversation. Ao Bing discovered that Nezha's understanding of science fiction was far deeper than he had imagined; Nezha was surprised by the enthusiasm and energy Ao Bing displayed while discussing these topics, which was completely different from his usual calm demeanor.
Time flew by in their pleasant exchange, and before they knew it, it was already afternoon. They settled the bill and left the restaurant, deciding to take a walk along the riverbank to digest their meal.
The riverside path was shaded by lush trees, and a gentle breeze brought a refreshing coolness. They walked side by side, occasionally chatting and sometimes falling into comfortable silence, with an atmosphere that remained relaxed and free of any awkwardness.
As they strolled, Nezha suddenly stopped, pointing at a nearby stall. "Look, they sell ice cream! Want to get one?"
Ao Bing glanced over and nodded. "Sure."
Nezha hurried to the stall and bought two ice creams—one strawberry and one mint. He handed the mint-flavored one to Ao Bing. "Here you go, Ice Block Face deserves mint flavor!"
Ao Bing raised an eyebrow. "How did you know I like mint?"
Nezha grinned proudly. "I guessed! But seeing how cool and composed you usually are, I thought mint would suit you."
Ao Bing took the ice cream and took a small bite. "You guessed right; I do like mint."
Nezha beamed and began to devour his strawberry ice cream. The two continued their leisurely stroll along the riverbank, savoring the relaxed afternoon.
Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept through, causing Ao Bing's ice cream cone to wobble precariously. Nezha reacted quickly, catching the falling scoop just in time but accidentally brushing against Ao Bing's hand.
Their fingers briefly touched in mid-air, and a subtle current seemed to flow between them at that moment. Ao Bing quickly withdrew his hand, a faint blush creeping onto his face; Nezha pretended nothing had happened as he continued eating his ice cream, though his ears betrayed him by turning slightly red.
"Uh..." Nezha cleared his throat, trying to break the subtle awkwardness. "Look over there, someone is flying a kite!"
Ao Bing followed Nezha's gaze and indeed saw a few people flying kites on the distant lawn. The colorful kites soared in the blue sky, a beautiful sight.
"Do you want to give it a try?" Nezha suggested eagerly. "I was really good at flying kites when I was younger!"
Ao Bing hesitated for a moment. "I've never flown a kite before."
"Perfect! I can teach you!" Nezha said excitedly, grabbing Ao Bing's wrist and pulling him toward the stall selling kites.
Ao Bing was startled by the sudden physical contact but didn’t pull away. Nezha's hand was warm and strong, stirring a strange feeling in his heart.
After buying a kite, the two of them arrived at the lawn. Nezha took the kite and began patiently teaching Ao Bing how to fly it.
"First, you need to find the wind direction," Nezha explained, extending his hand to feel the breeze. "Then stand upwind, with the kite facing away from the wind. When the wind blows, let out the line and run, and the kite will take off."
Ao Bing listened intently and then started trying according to Nezha's instructions. At first, the kite only bounced on the ground a few times and didn’t lift off at all. Seeing this, Nezha stepped behind Ao Bing, placing his hands over Ao Bing’s to help him grasp the correct rhythm of letting out the line.
"Don't rush," Nezha's voice whispered in Ao Bing's ear, his warm breath brushing against his earlobe. "Wait for the right wind, then gently pull up on the line while stepping back."
Ao Bing's heart began to race involuntarily; he could clearly feel Nezha’s chest pressed against his back. The warmth and sense of security made him slightly dizzy. Yet he forced himself to focus, following Nezha's guidance.
Sure enough, this time the kite soared into the air, gradually climbing higher until it stabilized in the blue sky.
"Success!" Nezha exclaimed excitedly, his hands instinctively resting on Ao Bing's shoulders.
