My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 361 - 7: A Chance Encounter with an Admirer
Chapter 361: Chapter 7: A Chance Encounter with an Admirer
Yang Xiaoli’s wedding banquet was still two days away, but with a rare visit to J province, Lin Xiaoguai and Zhu Huixi naturally didn’t plan to miss the opportunity to travel.
"I can’t accompany you, you should go early and return early, and you must come back by tomorrow evening at the latest," said Yang Xiaoli, who was about to be married, yet still had to continue giving classes. At that moment, she was preparing snacks for their trip while giving instructions.
Soon, Qi Sheng came over to pick her up for work. After saying their goodbyes, Lin Xiaoguai and the others got on the coach to Su City.
Fortunately, although Zhu Huixi was pregnant, she didn’t get motion sickness as Lin Xiaoguai had initially, and when they got off the coach, she was still brimming with excitement, showing none of the frailty one might expect from a pregnant woman.
"Today we’ll first go to Zhouzhuang, then tomorrow we’ll visit Zhuozheng Garden, and if there’s time, we’ll make a trip to Hanshan Temple. Ah... So many fun places to visit in Su Cheng, but so little time. Maybe we should stay a bit longer," Zhu Huixi said with a sigh, looking at the travel guide book she had specially purchased.
Wang Han resignedly said, "Huixi, did you forget that I still have to go back to work?" He could only afford to take half a month’s leave.
"How about you go back first?" Zhu Huixi suggested after a moment’s thought.
Wang Han’s face fell, and he shook his head, "No, I definitely don’t agree to that."
Lin Xiaoguai also advised, "Huixi, have you forgotten about the child in your belly? Even if you have the stamina to go sightseeing, the child might not be able to withstand it. Do you really want the child to be in jeopardy?"
"Uh..." Hearing about the child, Zhu Huixi had no choice but to cease her protests.
The three of them found an inn to book a room first, dumped their luggage, and then went out to sightsee without any worries.
Su City lived up to its reputation as an Eastern water city. Along the way, they saw a unique ancient charm that couldn’t be found in the Capital or Shanghai, as if it were a beautiful lady by the water, with an indescribable grace and charm.
"Huixi, you really look like someone who was born in Su City," said Lin Xiaoguai with a smile, looking at the traditionally beautiful Zhu Huixi.
"Really?" Zhu Huixi beamed upon receiving Lin Xiaoguai’s compliment.
"That is, if you don’t speak," Lin Xiaoguai quickly added.
"Wow, you’re actually making fun of me!" Zhu Huixi got angry and reached out to tickle her.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Huixi, please be generous and forgive me," Lin Xiaoguai pleaded between her laughter.
Zhouzhuang, the ancient town in the south, did not disappoint them. They visited the Zhang Hall, Shen Hall, Shuang Bridge, Fuan Bridge, and Quanfu Temple. Zhu Huixi’s camera clicked nonstop, and she regretted not buying more film rolls.
"My god, it’s so beautiful here! One day is definitely not enough to visit all these places," Zhu Huixi complained while admiring the sights.
Lin Xiaoguai shook her head; indeed, one day was a bit rushed, but this trip was just an aside—they could come again with their children another time.
That evening, after returning to the inn, Zhu Huixi suggested they go buy some Suzhou specialties. Lin Xiaoguai also wanted to buy some souvenirs for friends and family, and seeing that Zhu Huixi looked well, she agreed.
"It’s a shame it’s not the right time, or we could buy Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs," Wang Han said with regret.
"If it’s such a pity, we can come back around September or October," Lin Xiaoguai suggested with a smile, although she wasn’t too concerned about Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, believing that those produced in her space couldn’t be worse.
"Let’s go buy some Kesi. It can be used to make Qipaos," suggested Zhu Huixi. This was something that couldn’t be found in her space. Although the Book Collection Hall did possess the technique for producing Kesi, the processing system could only work with items from Alien Civilizations. 001 had mentioned the workshop could be upgraded with the necessary data, but Lin Xiaoguai planned to buy authentic ones and compare them with those produced after upgrading her workshop. After all, the Book Collection Hall contained many historically lost crafts, and she couldn’t risk bringing trouble by selling Kesi produced in her space without extensive research beforehand.
"We should also get some Eight Treasure Cake, I’ve heard it’s delicious."
"And don’t miss out on the silk from Su City!"
"And Song brocade, millet, paper fans, silk scarves."
The three of them mentioned various Suzhou specialties they knew, when suddenly, a voice came from a few steps behind.
"Lin Xiaoguai?"
Lin Xiaoguai paused and turned around to see a man in his late twenties, staring at her with a mix of joy and anxiety.
"Are you Lin Xiaoguai? I’m Chang Chunji, remember me? I sat next to you in the second year of junior high." Seeing her turn, the man—Chang Chunji—asked eagerly.
