If love can be booked

Chapter 77: Girl 2's Date with Anhui Huangshan - 1

Huangshan, Anhui

The bright sunshine shines down, illuminating the earth, as if covering everything in the world with a layer of golden gauze. In such beautiful weather, he and she put on their backpacks and embarked on a journey full of surprises and expectations. Along the way, the scenery is picturesque and beautiful. The rolling mountains, green trees and gurgling rivers form a beautiful picture.

At this moment, at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province, the peaks are steep and shrouded in mist, just like a fairyland. I couldn't help but wonder, could this be the date he was talking about?

As night falls, the moonlight sprinkles on the earth like water, and everything becomes quiet and mysterious.

Love...can be irrelevant to money and commitment. As long as we love each other, are in the same beautiful scenery, and have similar moods, it is enough. This love does not need too many words, nor does it need vows and promises. It only requires us to know and cherish each other and feel each other's heart with sincerity.

"Ah, Huangshan, here I come." she shouted excitedly.

If there is such a person in your life who gives up everything to travel with you, what else can you care about? It's not about where you go, but no matter where you go, she is there... I want to accompany her to every corner of the world. As long as she is there, I will keep walking... keep walking... until I am by her side.

I like traveling because I believe that every scene in this world is unique and cannot be replicated, just like our love. Before I met her, I didn't have much expectation for love, but her appearance brought unprecedented brilliance and warmth to my world. From then on, I began to look forward to the future, hoping to walk more roads and experience more stories with her.

"Aren't you sleepy yet? It's almost dawn." She was still pacing back and forth like a restless kitten.

"I feel sleepy...but I can't sleep." She murmured softly, as if she was talking to herself. She had the habit of recognizing her pillow and her room. Maybe this was the reason why she didn't want to go far away? Going out was too troublesome, and made her feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar.

Zhu Mingjun looked at her, feeling helpless. He sighed softly, walked to her side, and held her in his arms.

“Go to sleep, I’ll wait for you to fall asleep.” He said gently, his voice low and warm. He turned on a night light, and the faint light illuminated the whole room, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

She leaned quietly in his arms, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat. Her eyes gradually closed and her breathing became steady. Zhu Mingjun gently stroked her hair and silently guarded her until she fell asleep completely.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the windowsill, shining warmly on her fair face. She blinked, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings.

The clock pointed to seven forty, she stretched, yawned, and then slowly opened her eyes. She remembered the man's promise to make breakfast for her last night, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She gently pushed open the door, her footsteps as light as a cat's, and walked cautiously towards the living room, looking for the familiar figure.

She walked to the door of the opposite room with some doubts and knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered. So she pushed the door open and found that the room was empty and the quilt was neatly folded, as if no one had ever slept there.

Her eyes fell on the dining table, which was set with beautifully crafted tableware and tempting food.

At this moment, she noticed that the man was standing in the kitchen, with his back to her, busy and focused. She stood quietly by, watching him skillfully frying eggs and toasting bread, and a different feeling surged in her heart.

"Good morning..." She greeted him with a faint smile on her face. Her voice was not loud, but it had a unique charm.

He raised his head and his eyes fell on her. She was wearing a loose white shirt and black sweatpants, a pair of slippers on her feet, and her hair was casually tied into a low ponytail. This outfit seemed particularly casual and comfortable, without any exquisite makeup or fashionable outfits. However, it was precisely because of this naturalness and authenticity that people felt a different kind of beauty.

He couldn't help but laugh, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. This woman seemed to have no idea what image was. Such a lazy look made him feel very novel. However, she looked very charming like a blooming flower, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Morning..." He responded softly. His voice was filled with a hint of smile and sounded very gentle.

The scene at this moment made them feel as if they were in the daily life of a couple, a feeling that made both of them feel both strange and familiar.

"What's prepared? There's pumpkin porridge..." She was pleasantly surprised to find a bowl of steaming pumpkin porridge on the table, which was one of her favorite breakfasts. In addition, there was a basket of exquisite steamed dumplings exuding an enticing aroma.

"Come, sit down..." He gently asked her to sit down. He got up early and went to learn about the local customs and folkways, just to find a breakfast restaurant that could make her favorite pumpkin porridge.

"Thank you... and my favorite xiaolongbao." Lin Xiaoxi looked at the steaming xiaolongbao in front of her, and her mood suddenly became happy. The sunlight shone through the window onto the xiaolongbao, and they seemed to become crystal clear, making people want to take a bite.

Lin Xiaoxi gently picked up a steamed bun, felt its delicate touch, and then carefully took a bite. Instantly, the delicious soup filled her mouth, and the rich onion fragrance and the delicious pork blended together, making her intoxicated. She savored the delicacy carefully and couldn't help but sighed, "It tastes good."

"Teacher Zhu, you are so thoughtful." She couldn't help but think of the topic that had been hotly discussed in the office before, what qualities the so-called "perfect lover" should have. And at this moment, looking at Zhu Mingjun in front of her, she realized that he seemed to be the man who could meet all the standards.

"Just considerate? Lin Xiaoxi, have you ever thought about marrying me?" At this moment, Zhu Mingjun suddenly asked a question.

This sentence was like a flash of lightning that passed through Lin Xiaoxi's heart. Have you ever thought about marrying him? Thoughts flooded into her mind like a tide, and Lin Xiaoxi began to think about her feelings for Zhu Mingjun. They had a deep friendship, but what about love? Was she really ready to step into the marriage hall and spend the rest of her life with Zhu Mingjun? These questions made her confused and bewildered.

However, deep down in her heart, Lin Xiaoxi could not deny her special feelings for Zhu Mingjun. Perhaps, this feeling had already surpassed the scope of ordinary friends, but she had never noticed it.

"Teacher Zhu, are you proposing to me? That's too informal." This sudden question made Lin Xiaoxi's heart beat faster and her cheeks flushed.

"Why did you refuse?" Zhu Mingjun frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his tone. Informality was actually her reason for refusal? This woman was challenging his nerves every day!

"Hehe..." She laughed dryly, trying to ease the atmosphere, but it seemed a little awkward.

"Lin Xiaoxi, your smile is so perfunctory." He glared at her and said dissatisfiedly.

"How about I change to my signature smile?" Lin Xiaoxi blinked and smiled confidently. She thought her smile was very charming and could show different charms according to different occasions and moods.

"Ugly..." He uttered these two words sullenly and commented bluntly.

How can it be ugly? Lin Xiaoxi muttered to herself. People around her said that her smile was very sweet. Even when she was in a bad mood or even sad enough to cry, she could still smile beautifully. She didn't want others to see her vulnerable side, and she was even more unwilling to accept their pitying eyes.

In the early morning, the sun shines on the mountains, reflecting a golden color. Walking along the winding path, feeling the fresh air, it feels like being in an ink painting.

At this time, the Huangshan Sightseeing Bus slowly approached, and they boarded the bus and began a magical and romantic journey. Along the way, the scenery outside the window was so beautiful that it seemed like a painting was unfolding before their eyes. The clock gradually pointed to ten o'clock, and they finally arrived at Huangshan Hot Spring, which was also the first stop after entering Huangshan through the Huangshan Gate.

"Huangshan, here I come." I stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the peaks in the distance and the rocks and plants nearby, my heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. The air here is fresh and pleasant, making people feel relaxed and happy. I took a deep breath, feeling the breath of nature, as if I could smell the fragrance of the soil and the fragrance of the mountains.

The scenery of Huangshan is picturesque, with undulating mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist. The peaks are steep and tall, standing like giants between heaven and earth; the mountains are shaded by lush green trees, giving people a sense of vitality. The clear streams are like a silver ribbon winding and flowing, making a clear and pleasant gurgling sound.

"The water temperature is just right." I cheered, feeling the warm spring water.

"The hot spring, one of the 'Four Wonders' of Huangshan, was called Tangquan in ancient times. Legend has it that Emperor Xuanyuan bathed here for 49 days and regained his youth and ascended to heaven, so it is also known as the 'Lingquan'." Zhu Mingjun explained with a smile, and her smile infected him.

"Really? Then why don't we take a hot spring bath first?" Lin Xiaoxi suggested with an excited smile on her face.

"Okay!" The other party agreed happily, with a smile in his eyes. This was the Lin Xiaoxi he knew, not hypocritical or artificial.

Huangshan is famous for its unique natural landscapes, including strange pines, strange rocks, sea of ​​clouds and hot springs, etc. These scenes complement each other to form an intoxicating picture, which makes people marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature.

Listening to the guide's passionate explanation, one can't help but marvel at the magic and beauty of nature.

Finally, we arrived at the legendary Welcoming Pine, which is located on the left side of Yuping Tower. There is also a Farewell Pine on the right side, and an Accompanying Pine in front of the tower. The Yuping Peak behind the tower is even more amazing. Standing on the top of the peak, you can see the "Yuping Reclining Buddha" with its head on the left and its feet on the right, lifelike, as if it is sleeping. In addition, Chairman Mao's cursive calligraphy "The mountains and rivers are so beautiful" is engraved on the peak stone, with bold and unrestrained handwriting and magnificent momentum.

"Is this... the Hundred-Step Cloud Staircase?" Looking at the winding stone steps in front of her, Lin Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask. Are the stone steps under their feet the legendary Hundred-Step Cloud Staircase? It is winding and long, like a giant dragon circling in the mountains.

Zhu Mingjun nodded in affirmation.

Lin Xiaoxi couldn't help but sigh: "It's really spectacular!"

Zhu Mingjun smiled and explained: "The ancients said: The narrow passage is too high to climb, but there is a ladder through the deep clouds; the monkeys are frightened and unable to climb back to the mountains and rivers, and the birds are frightened and fly late to the wild vines." Who opened a path on this cliff that was uninhabited for dozens of miles? The relics of history...

Zhu Mingjun went on to say: "People today also have a poem: The hundred-step cloud ladder frightens the traveler, as it winds and twists to connect to the sky; not to mention the many dangers in nature, the road of life is even more difficult." On the cliff at the northwest foot of Lotus Peak.

"Teacher Zhu, you are so awesome." He was so knowledgeable and full of admiration.

"I have done my homework to give you a perfect journey." I have done my homework because I was afraid that I would not have a perfect journey without knowing anything, so I will be honest.

Have you ever done any homework? Just to give her a perfect trip?

The sea of ​​clouds beside the mountain is so beautiful. I saw the white clouds flowing in the mountains, sometimes dense, sometimes thin, sometimes surging, and sometimes as calm as a mirror. The peaks in the sea of ​​clouds are looming, just like a fairyland.

"Xiao Xi, look... the golden rooster is crowing at Tianmen." The reason why the strange rocks in Huangshan are called "strange" is because of their "angles". These strange rocks do not exist in isolation, but are combined with the surrounding mountains, clouds and other natural elements to form a unique landscape.

"Over there... there is a big rock on Tiandu Peak, which looks like a rooster spreading its wings and crowing, hence the name "Golden Rooster Calling the Gate of Heaven." The rocks here are jagged and varied in shape, and the most eye-catching one is the rooster-shaped rock, which holds its head high and crows at the sky, as if welcoming a new day. Next to it is another rock, which looks like the gate of heaven, echoing the rooster, forming a peculiar picture.

"Where is it? I didn't see it..." Following the direction he pointed, there were only mountains near and far. Where was the Golden Rooster Crying at the Gate of Heaven? She hadn't seen the strange rocks of Huangshan yet.

As the saying goes, 30% image and 70% imagination. Climbing up Mount Huangshan is like entering a poetic wonderland. The mountains are undulating, the clouds are shrouded, and the strange pines and rocks are everywhere. The uncanny workmanship of nature is breathtaking.

"So... you can't see me, I understand." Zhu Mingjun teased gently, but she would imagine less? The strange rocks of Huangshan?

"Hey...what if you don't attack me?" Lin Xiaoxi retorted unhappily. It's just that you haven't discovered it yet, okay?

"It seems... someone can no longer see the immortals watching the sea, immortals paving the road, tigers carrying sheep, Guan Gong blocking Cao Cao, and Crouching Tiger Rock along the way."

"Zhu Mingjun?" Lin Xiaoxi suddenly stopped, because she still couldn't find the legendary golden rooster calling the sky.

"What?" He found that Lin Xiaoxi was looking at him with a pitiful look, and his heart couldn't help but soften.

"I still haven't seen the Golden Rooster Calling to the Sky..." Lin Xiaoxi said helplessly. She felt as if she had searched the entire place, but still couldn't see the shadow of the stone.

"Uh..." Still struggling with this? It's just my imagination.
