"Uncle Feng-Liang, Fan is..." said Xu Lei. She was a little worried and reluctant to leave.
Xu Feng-Liang smiled as he said instead, "You only left the Xu family for a few days. Have you already forgotten what I'm like? Do you think I would attack someone younger than me personally?"
Ye Fan nodded too. Then he said calmly, "Lei, it's okay. Do as your uncle asked and give us some time."
Since Ye Fan agreed to it, Lei wasn't in the position to oppose him even if she was worried, so she obediently left and gave them some space.
Very quickly, only Ye Fan and Xu Feng-Liang were left.
"Since Lei considers me her brother, then I should greet you as Uncle too, right? Lei told me that you are one of the rare few in the Xu family who genuinely cares about her. Lei had a hard life, so having such a kind uncle like you around brought her occasional joy," said Ye Fan to Xu Feng-
Liang rather politely.
After all, Xu Feng-Liang was Xu Lei's elder and treated her well. On account of Xu Lei, Ye Fan was naturally more polite to Xu Feng-Liang.
But Xu Feng-Liang didn't care about what Ye Fan said.
Xu Feng-Liang turned around and walked out onto the deck. Then he looked at the turquoise lake as he asked deeply, "Young man, what do you see when you look out beyond the ship?”
Ye Fan furrowed his brows. He didn't know why Xu Feng-Liang suddenly asked this question.
But Ye Fan did as Xu Feng-Liang said and looked out of the cruise ship.
The greenish waters of Yanqi Lake extended into the distance.
The clear sky reflected in the boundless lake.
The lake was vast!
"I see the vast Yanqi Lake, the imposing Mount Yan and the Great China Building rising into the heavens."
Ye Fan glanced across Yanqi Lake before looking at the lofty Mount Yan. Then he saw the tallest skyscraper at the heart of Yanjing, the Great China Building.
Xu Feng-Liang nodded and continued asking, "Then what about Yunzhou? What is Yunzhou's largest lake? What is its most magnificent mountain? What is its tallest building?"
"The largest lake in Yunzhou is Yunwu Lake. Yunzhou is on a plain, so there aren't any famous mountains or rivers. The most famous mountain there is Mount Yunding, located in the suburbs. And the tallest building in the city is Jinding Mall," replied Ye Fan.
Xu Feng-Liang asked deeply again, "Then how do you think Yunwu Lake compares with Yanqi Lake? How does Mount Yunding compare to Mount Yan? How does the Jinding Mall compare to the Great China Building?"
Although Xu Feng-Liang kept asking in a calm tone, it made Ye Fan frown.
Ye Fan looked at Xu Feng-Liang without saying a word.
Xu Feng-Liang continued, "Yunwu Lake is 100 hectares while Yanqi Lake is 230 hectares in size. In comparison, the largest lake in Yunzhou is only one-third that of Yanqi Lake. Also, Yanqi Lake is merely ranked number three among all of Yanjing's lakes. Mount Yunding has an elevation of 200 meters, but Mount Yan's tallest peak has an elevation of 2,213 meters. In comparison, Yunzhou's tallest mountain is only a tenth of the height of Mount Yan. Yunzhou's tallest building is only 55 meters tall and not even one-fifth of the Great China Building height."
