S31 172. Need a Ride?
As soon as she got out of the ship, Barbara stretched out her arms again. Her face was bright, her smile was
cheerful.
“This is the perfect combination. Green, blue, and you.” She turned to face Philip.
“Me?” Philip tilted his head. The corners of his lips twitched, having difficulty hiding his excitement.
Barbara nodded. The curve of her lips becsweeter. “Yes, you.”
“But I'm not a color.”
Philip shook his head and leaned closer to Barbara. Barbara also shook her head and laughed a little.
“You're not, but your presence has colored my days. You are the most beautiful color in my life, Phil.”
Philip finally let out a laugh. Biting his lip, he shook his head slic You're lucky we're in an open space. If only we
were in a closed
room ...."”
Barbara's eyes narrowed. “You want to tickle me? Slamlike a
martial artist?”
“You know what | mean.”
Barbara chuckled. “We can do that later, Phil. Aren't we going to the
inn soon?”
“Yes, indeed. But | really can’t wait. | think | want to do it now.”
Philip's gaze was intimidating. Barbara smiled faintly when she saw it. “Then, let's continue our journey
immediately.”

Philip dared to attack her, Barbara hurriedly took out the map she had prepared from home. She didn’t want to
be watched by many people and go viral.
“From here, we will take the bus to Reine,” she pressed a point on the
map.

“Okay. Please lead the way, Captain.” Philip smiled amusedly. He
liked seeing Barbara's enthusiasm even though the mountain bag she was carrying looked very heavy.
“Okay, follow my steps. This way!” Barbara turned around following the direction on the map.
“Are you sure? There is the ship earlier,” Philip whispered as he followed. His hands held the bottom of Barbara's
bag, trying to lessen the weight.
Barbara straightened her head. Seeing the back of the ship, she immediately turned around. “I mean, this way.”
Philip laughed silently. “That's the right way. My wife is indeed art.”
Barbara snorted slightly. “Don’t make fun of me. Anyway, why keep walking behind me, Phil? I'm not a mother
duck. Walk bes “Barbara reached for his fingers.
“I'm afraid you're tired from carrying this bag. It’s too heavy.”
“Did you forget? | did physical training before leaving here. I'm stronger now. A bag like this won't make me
tired, besides, | slept a lot on the plane.”
Seeing Barbara’s enthusiasm, Philip smiled proudly. “Okay, let's see how high you can climb tomorrow.”
“| can definitely reach the top,” Barbara said, full of confidence.” You're makingeven more impatient to get
there quickly, Phil.”

“Then let's run!”
Philip pulled her hand towards the bus stop. Barbara couldn't help but speed up her pace while giggling.
“You know what? We will pass many beautiful spots even though it’s only more than 5 km. We will see many
mountains, bridges over the sea, and | hope we can meet waterfalls or lakes. It is said that the lakes in this
country are very beautiful. The water is turquoise.”
Philip smiled slightly as he helped Barbara take off her bag. Then, while Barbara sat holding out the map, he
remained standing, studying her face as he rested his chin on two stacks of bags.

“Oh, we will also pass the mountain we want to climb. Can we consider it a site survey?”
Barbara looked up, demanding an answer. When she saw her husband's shady gaze, her eyebrows arched high.
“Why are you looking atlike that?”
Philip shook his head faintly. “I just like it. Continue your chatte
“I'm not the twin, Phil, and I'm not chattering or babbling. I'm n sure our route is correct.”
“You know what? Actually, | don’t really care about where we're go What's important is... | visit that place with
you.”
Barbara's head snapped back. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously, bu her heart was full of flowers. Philip seemed
sincere with his words.
“Who taught you those words? Louis? Or Emily?”
“Why learn that from a toddler? It cfrom me, Babe. My sincere thoughts. Because, no matter how beautiful
the place we are going to visit, my eyes will still be on you. You are the most beautiful object there.”

Barbara failed to hold back her smile. Her head bowed, covering her cheeks which were starting to flush.
Unfortunately, the romance
didn’t last long. A voice broke it.
“Hey! We meet again here.”
Philip and Barbara turned their heads. A red car was parked in front of them. The blonde smiled widely as she
craned her head.
“Are you guys waiting for the bus?”
Barbara nodded lazily. “Yes.”
“Where are you going?”
Barbara glanced at her husband briefly. She was relieved that Philip was not interested in answering.
“To Reine’s inn.”
Shania’s jaw dropped wide, as if surprised by Barbara's answer. Wow, what a coincidence. We also want to go
there. Is it RR?”
One of Barbara's eyebrows moved down. “How do you know?”
Shania let out a laugh. “It’s the most famous inn in Reine. You've made reservations, right? In this season, it's
hard to get.”
“Thank you for your concern, but we have made reservations in advance,” Barbara said, half friendly, half
annoyed. What was the blonde minding their business for? To get Philip's attention?
“Then do you need a ride? Our destination is the same.”
The blonde shifted her gaze towards Philip. Her smile was seductive. However, Philip only turned to Barbara.
“No, thank you. We'll just wait for the bus,” Barbara said flatly.
“But the bus still takes a long time. You can already explore Reine

with that much waiting time.”
Barbara was eager to turn down the offer. However, the blonde’s words did make sense. She glanced at Philip.
“What do you think, Baby? Do you mind waiting here?”
Philip shrugged. “I don’t mind waiting. What's important is that | stay with you.”
Hearing that, the corners of Shania’s Tips twitched. “Are you sure you want to turn down a ride and waste the
precious time?”
“Yes, thank you for your good intentions.” Barbara nodded with a proud smile.
The blonde almost snorted, showing annoyance. However, when she was about to reply, a campervan stopped
and honked the horn. A second later, a friendly-looking man cdown and approached Barbara.
“Good afternoon. Are you Philip and Barbara?”
The couple flinched. “Yes.”
The campervan driver extended a business card. “Letintr myself. I'm Johan, the owner of this campervan. |
cto deliv campervan to you.”
Barbara's eyes grew rounder. “To us? Why? We didn’t rent it.”
“Someone has rented it in the names of the two of you. He wants yo to explore Lofoten as much as you like in
comfort. You can also spend the night in a campervan if you don’t feel like building a tent.”
Philip and Barbara blinked. “Who is the tenant?”
“Louis Harper.”
Barbara sighed in disbelief. While looking at Philip, she muttered, ” Those two kids are full of surprises, hmm?”,

“Yes, they must have just pretended to ask for our pictures. In fact, they already know where we are going.”
“Then please go ahead, Sir and Madam. Everything is ready.” Johan pointed to his campervan.
“Thank you, Johan. But, if we use your campervan, what do you take hwith? Should we take you?”
The man waved his hand. “No need, Madam. My wife is waiting there.
He pointed to another car. A woman waved at them.
“Oh, okay then. Thank you, Johan.”
With a happy face, Barbara carried her bag towards the van. Philip followed with equal cheerfulness. Seeing that,
Shania couldn't help but snort. She drove the car at full speed.
“Now what do you want, Shania? They have their own vehicle.” Poppy looked back.
“Stick to the plan. We'll rent a cabin next door to them. I'll just hang around until the guy notices.”
