Chapter 197: Chapter 64: I Have a Secret_2

With its iconic tiny skull, and the four bone spines on its tail, Yan Fei easily called out their names.

Identifying other dinosaurs might require a bit of discernment, but these distinctive dinosaurs, they were just too easy to recognize.

He didn’t see any carnivorous dinosaurs, but Yan Fei wouldn’t let his guard down just because of that. It would be strange indeed if there weren’t any - who knows where those meat eaters were hiding!

His body quickly shrank in mid-air, becoming a tiny cinerous vulture in the blink of an eye.

Flying over Sancha River Town, anyone who saw him would exclaim at the sight of a grand eagle, but here, he was just a small bird.

The group of stegosaurs confidently sauntered towards the lake, undisturbed by a bird landing near them. Yan Fei even tried landing on the back of one of the beasts, and while the giant creature shook its tail in slight dissatisfaction, it continued walking without a care in the world.

Up until now, Yan Fei’s mission could be considered complete. From now on, he would gradually observe, first examining what dangers were in the lake, then checking the dangers of the lake shore. As for the surrounding forest, that would have to wait for another opportunity!

The sky was growing light, it was time to return.

In fact, he really wanted to stay here a little longer. Although terrifying cries emerged from the forest at times, the lakefront brought an inexplicable sense of peace. Even knowing full well that the lake was surely dangerous and that the surrounding forest was far from as tranquil as it seemed.

The beauty of this scene was enough to move even the laid-back Yan Fei, truly beyond words.

Returning to Vegetable Garden Island, Yan Fei felt as if he’d abruptly left a fairyland and returned to the mundane world, with a feeling of time distortion. But this feeling vanished just as quickly as it had floated into his mind.

Dressing himself, he scooped out a pot of steaming catfish meat from a small pot behind the stove and brought it back to the cattle farm kitchen.

He started the fire to cook, preparing two greens while waiting for the porridge in the front pot to finish. It was just about time to wake up the lazy girl next door.

It would take many calls before this girl would get up. It seemed she particularly enjoyed being urged repeatedly by Yan Fei, taking her time getting up with all sorts of excuses. She would only cheerfully appear to eat, looking at Yan Fei’s helpless face, after he had prepared all the food and set it out.

Despite waking up late, she was the busiest one in the mornings.

After eating and lazily stretching a bit, she would start boxing practice with Yan Fei. Thankfully, she was only just starting to learn, it was just some simple poses and routines, no need to worry about it being too strenuous right after eating.

Instead of saying she was learning boxing, it was more accurate to say she was tormenting Yan Fei. Even the slow-reacting Yan Fei sensed that his ’head disciple’ would probably never graduate. He doubted he could ever teach this lass a complete sequence of boxing in his lifetime.

Thankfully, they still had plenty of time in the future. Yan Fei maintained a sliver of hope: perhaps she would learn it one day!

While boxing and messing around, the girl kept an eye on the time, running in front of the TV as soon as the yoga programme started to follow along and learn.

After finishing yoga, she would do some chores, though by this time there weren’t many left save feeding the chickens and piglets, and doing a bit of cleaning.

When the temperature started to rise, she would take a mat, run to a shady spot by the river, and ostensibly go practice yoga.

The yoga programme on TV was set on a beach, so this lass thought that to practice yoga you needed to be near water to get good results. Even though there was no ocean here, the small river would suffice.

Of course, whether learning or practicing yoga, there always had to be someone to accompany her.

Yan Fei was really puzzled, there were only a few simple movements, the programme had been droning on for half an hour, but this lass would forget everything the moment she turned her head. Despite his not having intended to learn yoga, he ended up being able to do the movements and had to continue acting as a teacher. Teaching a student who had a myriad of excuses for her slow progress and who loved to shirk responsibility.

After great difficulty managing to get this girl into a pose, Yan Fei felt himself breaking out in a sweat, while the girl was as lively as ever.

"Yan Xiaofei, don’t you think my posture is perfect?"

"Well, it’s alright! It’s just the White Crane Spreads Its Wings pose, right? I’ve taught you so many times over the past few days..."

"Really? Ah! It seems like it! No wonder I feel so special when I strike this pose. Currently, I feel like all I have to do is move my arm and I’ll take off..."

"That’s because you refuse to stand on the comfortable mat, and insist on standing on a wobbling stone. If you stood on a tree branch, you would feel it even more..."

"Oh my, now that you mention it, it has completely killed the mood!" The girl decisively jumped down from a large stone and pointed to a twisted willow tree nearby. "Come over here, help me climb up. I want to see if the higher I stand, the more I feel. No wonder the people on TV teach on seaside cliffs..."

"..."

"Not bad, not bad at all, my view is much broader up here. Looking at the mighty river, stretching my gaze to the horizon, it’s really..."

"You can easily spot lambs on the opposite bank of the river grazing and pooping!"

"Yan Xiaofei, could you stop trying to ruin the mood! Forget it, help me down. Let’s move elsewhere!"

Of course, there’s nobody behind the river here but a cow pasture. However, those two shepherds on the opposite bank have been looking this way all along! It’s hard not to attract attention as a girl climbing a tree and striking a strange pose."

With a rolled-up mat, they arrived at the estuary of the Sancha River, set up the mat under a tree, the girl took off her shoes, stood on the mat, and struck her pose again in front of the wide river.

"Indeed, it’s much better here. The vast expanse of water stretching to the horizon really opens up one’s mind!"

"..."

"It’s a pity we don’t have a sea here, even a big lake would have been perfect. Then, I’d feel it more." The girl was quite regretful, but her face was filled with longing. "Once I start college, I’ll practise by the Yellow River. I’m sure it will be great there."

Yan Fei was speechless, thinking to himself: Even if you go to the Yangtze River, you’d still only know this one pose.

"Yan Xiaofei, don’t you want to see the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and the sea! When we have money in the future, we will travel to all the beautiful places. Then we’ll go to the seaside, find a place facing the sea with blooming flowers in spring, and do whatever we want. How beautiful!"

The sunlight sneakily slipped through the gap in the leaves, falling on the girl. Looking at the girl’s longing expression, Yan Fei suddenly thought of the endlessly ignored sea, and the big lake he saw in the morning, and he was startled a bit.

"What’s on your mind? Yan Xiaofei, I haven’t seen you daydreaming for a long time, come back to reality. I can’t carry you now." The girl turned her head, looked at Yan Fei’s blank face and joked.

There’s a clear difference between daydreaming and being distracted by observing the Dinosaur World, and the girl understood this well.

"Wouldn’t it be great if I could fly." She said while flapping her arms. "Best if I could turn into a bird, go wherever I want. Just thinking about it puts me in seventh heaven. Fly and fly, fly all the way to the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and then follow the river to the sea..."

Looking at the girl’s longing expression, Yan Fei suddenly felt an impulse.

He wanted to tell her that seeing the sea was actually quite simple. He has a world with an endless sea, beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains; if she isn’t afraid, he can turn into a bird, or even a pterosaur, and take her to travel all over the world...

"Ah... it’s a pity! These are just my wild fantasies, once we have made enough money, let’s go by plane. Looking at ourselves soaring through the clouds, it would be so beautiful! No more practicing for now, I’m getting hungry again, let’s go back for a meal."

The girl jumped down from the mat, stepped barefoot on the grass a couple of times, and then put on her sandals. She turned and saw Yan Fei still day-dreaming, laughed a bit worriedly and said, "What’s up with you today? You don’t actually want me to carry you, right? How about I give it a try...."

"Actually, I have a secret..." Yan Fei looked at the girl’s concerned smile and the words almost slipped out.
