Sea lake, a famous top-level scenic spot in Ning province, is a silk road station that combines the elegance of the water town in south China with the magnificence of the desert in north China.

Despite its name, what all can see here is not the familiar blue sea, but a sea of sand!

Located in the middle of a lake, the sand sea covers a total area of 800,000 square kilometers, of which the lake covers an area 300,000 square kilometers and the rest is sand.

Among them, the sand sculptures were the most famous. Every year, masters from all over the world would come here. The contest for the best sand sculpture would be held in the sea lake, and there would be countless entertainment projects related to sand.

The sea lake was about 70 kilometres away from Yinzhou. It would take an hour's drive by the car. And as for bicycling to here, it might take one and a half hour for a professional rider and 3 hours for ordinary people.

Anyway, Henry and Sylvia came out to have fun today, and the scenery along the way was a kind of enjoyment. This was the first time that Sylvia took a bicycle out, so everything was fresh to her.

For Henry, physical strength was not what he should consider. Not to mention riding a bicycle for 70 kilometres, even walking so far with Sylvia on his back, he could also do that.

On the way, the two of them chatted and laughed.

They did not feel bored at all.

Two hours passed. The midday sun was shining on the top of their heads, making the land hot and dry.

Henry was riding on the national highway. The green shade on both sides of the road provided a shadow from time to time, which ushered in a rare cool and refreshing atmosphere.

"President Lin, are you thirsty? Do you need a bottle of water?" In front of a roadside stall, Henry stopped the bicycle and bought two bottles of iced coke.

"Why do you drink coke?" Sylvia asked strangely.

"It's satisfying." Henry unscrewed the lid and took the lead in taking a big sip. "Uh... *burp*."

Henry burped and looked satisfied.

"I'd have a bottle of water." Sylvia put the coke on the stall and changed for a bottle of mineral water.

Henry gently unscrewed the cap for Sylvia, and Sylvia took a sip.

Henry could see that Sylvia's lips were already dry, which proved that she was very thirsty now, but she was still drinking water without hurry. This had something to do with Sylvia's habit that had been formed since she was a child.

"Well, 20 kilometres more to go. I will pedal faster. Let's get to the lake earlier. We can play for the whole afternoon."

Henry got on the bike. Sylvia nodded and sat in the back seat.

Under the sun, Henry stretched out his arm, ready to wipe the sweat on his face. As soon as he lifted his arm, he saw a jade-like arm coming from behind.

The small hand took a piece of tissue and wiped Henry's face.

This action made Henry's heart beat faster.

"Are you tired? How about taking a rest?" Sylvia moved slightly and looked a little clumsy. This was the first time that she had wiped sweat for others.

Henry gritted his teeth and shook his head. "I'm not tired. Not at all."

Henry took the tissue from Sylvia's hand and said, "President Lin, please sit down. I'll do it by myself. We are here for you. You have to enjoy being an empress on the bike."

Sylvia covered her mouth and smiled. "Haha right, how can there be an empress treatment when riding a bike."

"Of course there is." Henry said solemnly, "There are also a few treatments for riding a bicycle. The worst one is flip ride. The better one is when it comes to the uphill, one is pushing the bike while another is riding. The best one is, whatever happens, one is doing everything and the other sits and does nothing."

Sylvia was amused by what he said. At the same time, Henry reminded her of her childhood. When she was very young, her mother took her on a bicycle. When she went uphill, she pushed her while she was sitting in the back. Those were things that happened a long time ago, and Sylvia almost forgot them.

Henry kicked the pedals hard, and the bicycle ran very fast.

Sylvia took a sip of the mineral water in her hand, and her beautiful eyes glanced at the can of Coke in the carriage's basket from time to time. She licked her lips cutely with her small dexterous tongue.

After looking for a long time, Sylvia seemed to have made a decision. "Henry, can you give me your coke?"

"Sure." Without thinking, Henry picked up the coke and handed it to Sylvia.

Sylvia looked at the bottle of black depart drink in her hand. For a long time, she had wanted to try many things, such as crazy singing, acting cute like other girls, playing cute, using social apps and buying a lot of snacks she liked. But when she was a child, she had never done anything too exciting because of the family education. She had never gone to KTV, never had a chance to buy a lot of snacks. She always looked calm and collected. In the company, she drank a cup of hot tea every day.

Seeing others holding a bottle of iced drinks, she sometimes wanted to have a taste. But she was afraid that she would lose her dignity in front of people.

Just like coke, she was never allowed to drink in her family. When she grew up, all the pressure was on her that her identity also not allowed her to drink that kind of unhealthy drink. She had to learn to drink tea like the elders in her early twenties.

Unscrewing the cap, there was a blush on her face.

She was like a child who had done something wrong. She took a quick sip of the coke, and then smacked her lips, feeling the soda texture.

"President Lin, that is not the way how to drink coke. You have to take a big sip. If you don't burp, then there's no point in taking coke."

"A burp? That's so eww. I don't want." Sylvia shook her head and refused. Although she said so, there was a hint of emotion in her beautiful eyes.

"It's not disgusting at all. You can have a try. It's really cool."

"Try?" Sylvia looked at the bottle of coke in her hand.

She raised her neck and took a big gulp of it. The coke was diluted into her stomach and turned into carbon dioxide. It rushed out of Sylvia's mouth, making her burp unconsciously, just like Henry just now.

"Uh... *burp*."

As soon as the voice came out, Sylvia's pretty face turned red immediately. She had not done such a thing in public.

"Haha, what do you think of it? It's great!" Henry laughed.

Sylvia thought about it with her head tilted to one side, and then a smile appeared on her face. "It's really enjoyable."

What Sylvia thought was not a sip of coke, but what she had just done, as if she had thrown all the shackles away, and it was particularly easy.
