With her arms wrapped around Zhou Shengchen's neck, Jing Xiaoai nestled against his chest, her whole body curled up in his arms like a cat. Her eyes were slightly closed, a sweet smile playing on her lips, and she said in a languid voice:
"Honey, it's Saturday today, you should rest, right? What are your plans?"
Zhou Shengchen gently tidied the few strands of hair that were damp with sweat and stuck to Jing Xiaoai's forehead. He rested his chin on her head, his left arm around her soft body, and his right hand stroking her thick, black hair, saying:
"I have a filming assignment to do outside, and I'll be leaving soon. As for tomorrow, we'll see! What about you? Can you rest for the next couple of days?"
"No."
Looking up at Zhou Shengchen, Jing Xiaoai pouted and said in a wronged tone.
"Then why don't we hire a professional manager, or a few more secretaries?" Zhou Shengchen suggested after thinking for a moment.
"I'd rather not be a manager. I want to manage the company my father left me personally."
Jing Xiaoai shook her head, then looked at Zhou Shengchen with a hint of amusement: "The secretary is not bad, but, honey, would you prefer me to have a male or female secretary?"
"You still dare to have thoughts of hiring a male secretary?" Meeting Jing Xiaoai's teasing gaze, Zhou Shengchen slapped her buttocks with a "smack".
"husband."
Jing Xiaoai looked at Zhou Shengchen with seductive eyes.
"Trying to seduce me again, huh!" Zhou Shengchen flipped over and pinned Jing Xiaoai down.
.........
The entrance to the girls' dormitory in Zhonglan.
Zhou Shengchen parked his car in front of Zhong Bai and the other women who were eagerly waiting.
"We're supposed to meet at 7:50, you're late!" Gu Yixin said with slight dissatisfaction.
"Sorry!" Zhou Shengchen smiled slightly, picked up the packed breakfast and handed it to her, explaining, "I thought you might not have had breakfast, so I went to buy some, which is why I'm ten minutes late."
The three women suddenly realized.
After giving them breakfast, Zhou Shengchen glanced at them and was surprised to find that Zhong Bai had a scrape on his knee.
It clearly wasn't there yesterday.
"Zhong Bai, how did you get hurt? Are you alright?" Zhou Shengchen asked with concern, pointing to the abrasion on Zhong Bai's knee.
“She accidentally fell yesterday!” Li Shuci explained.
Zhou Shengchen said "oh," turned around, rummaged through the car, took out a bottle and some cotton swabs, and came over.
Zhou Shengchen handed the bag to Li Shuci and instructed her, "When you get in the car later, you and Zhong Bai can sit in the back and help her wipe it."
“Oh!” Li Shuci nodded obediently.
"Thank you!" Zhong Bai glanced at Zhou Shengchen, the scumbag who took her virginity, with a complicated expression.
"You're welcome."
Zhou Shengchen smiled, opened the trunk, put the three women's bags in one by one, and then opened the car door, gesturing for them to get in.
The three women didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.
After getting into the car, Gu Yixin suddenly pursed her lips and said, "I'm sitting in the passenger seat. Zhou Shengchen, won't your girlfriend be unhappy if she finds out?"
Hearing her say that, Zhou Shengchen pretended to think about it seriously for a moment, then joked, "Knowing Huangfu's personality, he'll definitely be jealous. Why don't you just make do in the trunk?"
"no!"
Gu Yixin secretly rolled her eyes.
Who is she? How could she possibly sit in the trunk?
Soon, the car started, and the group set off for the ancient town of (Liaonuo Zhao).
…………
Nanxun Ancient Town, located in the heart of the Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Huzhou Plain, is a famous historical and cultural town. The old town area covers 1.2 square kilometers, with a city river running through it.
Ancient stone arch bridges, narrow streets and waterways lining the river, and houses built along the water's edge—all remain as they were in the past. The grand mansions, a blend of Chinese and Western styles, and the ancient pines and cypresses in the courtyards speak of the years she has lived through.
According to the "Records of Gardens in Jiangnan", "With only one town, it has five gardens, all of which are large-scale structures, which is truly unique in Jiangnan."
Nanxun boasts numerous scenic spots and historical sites that blend harmoniously with the natural landscape. It is not only full of rich historical and cultural heritage and spiritual energy, but also exudes the poetic charm of an ancient water town in Jiangnan.
Nanxun has been a culturally prosperous area since ancient times, producing numerous talented individuals and a long-standing tradition of scholarship. During the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying: "Three Grand Secretaries within nine li, two Ministers within ten li." In the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties alone, Nanxun produced 41 Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations).
Nanxun has a history of 745 years. The period from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty to the mid-Qing Dynasty was a period of economic prosperity. Nanxun has a long history and culture. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, a total of 41 people passed the imperial examinations...
Chapter 104: A Rendezvous in Jing Village
At 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, colorful carnations bloomed at the entrance of the ancient city. Lu Qiaochuan, holding an umbrella, strolled there with Lin Luoxue, waiting for the other students to arrive.
"Um, if you see the sports committee member later, don't get too close to me, I'm afraid he'll hit you," Lin Luoxue said to Lu Qiaochuan with a smile.
Thinking of Jiang Yunming, who was relentlessly pursuing Lin Luoxue, Lu Qiaochuan quickly said, "I won't get too close to you, you know that. But didn't you already reject him?"
"Ha~ Are you afraid of falling for me?" Lin Luoxue blinked playfully. "Yesterday he told me he wanted to be in a group with me, and I said I would only be in a group with Lu Qiaochuan, so..."
Lu Qiaochuan shook his head and chuckled, ignoring the teasing remark, "I hope he calms down."
After a while, everyone except Xiao Haiyang and Yu Hao was present.
Lu Qiaochuan said loudly, "Everyone, please feel free to do as you please. We'll meet here at 5 p.m. The last subway train departs here at 7 p.m. If you need anything, just call me."
"Excuse me, can I call the vice class monitor instead of you?" Jiang Yunming always disliked Lu Qiaochuan, his "love rival," so he would nitpick from time to time.
Lu Qiaochuan looked at Lin Luoxue beside him, both of them with helplessness in their eyes, "Okay."
“Luqiaochuan,” Zhong Bai suddenly called out.
"Zhong Bai, what's wrong?"
Lu Qiaochuan stared at her intently, a hint of confusion in his eyes, not understanding why Zhong Bai had suddenly called him.
Look behind you.
Zhou Shengchen looked at Ren Yifan, who was carrying a backpack and a case of water behind Lu Qiaochuan, and couldn't help but remind him.
Lu Qiaochuan turned his head and looked at it, and immediately a helpless expression appeared on his face.
He never expected that, despite repeatedly telling Ren Yifan yesterday that today was a class activity and it wouldn't be convenient for him to bring anyone, Ren Yifan still came.
"Dear classmates in the photography class, how are you?"
Ren Yifan greeted everyone in a playful manner, then handed out water and maps while laughing and saying:
"It's hot, and the water inside is really expensive, so I bought water for Da beforehand. There are also maps here, so everyone can take photos without getting lost. I've always loved photography, but unfortunately I haven't had many opportunities..."
When the document was handed to Jiang Yunming, Ren Yifan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ren Yifan. I'm in the same club as Zhou Shengchen, Zhong Bai, and Lu Qiaochuan—the Tea Art Club. Ever heard of it? It's that low-end, shabby tea art club. But right now, I've broken off all contact with Zhong Bai and Lu Qiaochuan..."
As the saying goes, it's never wrong to be polite. Since Ren Yifan brought everyone bottled water and maps, no one said anything about his joining in.
In the end, Ren Yifan joined Xiao Haiyang and Bi Shisan's group.
…………
The stone slabs in the ancient town are clear, and all kinds of stone slabs are naturally pieced together, with the high and low stone slabs leading the road to a new corner once again.
The stone slabs come in many colors: blue, pure and flawless; blue with black undertones; and blue with a touch of fresh emerald green.
Upon closer inspection, Zhou Shengchen seemed to hear gentle tapping and see the rings of time.
Water! A stream flows quietly, resembling a silver chain in the sunlight. The water is clear, and the large pebbles on the riverbed are clearly visible.
The tiled houses here are clean, with earthen gray walls. Rows of tiles are neatly arranged on wooden frames, neither monotonous nor boring.
A simple and clear feeling welled up in the hearts of Zhou Shengchen and the others.
This kind of beauty is a unique kind of beauty. The wooden beams are arranged haphazardly, and the joints are adorned with lifelike dragon heads, symbolizing a person soaring like a dragon.
The wooden frame was adorned with exquisite carvings, a feast for the eyes. From dragons and phoenixes to picturesque landscapes, even the names themselves brought a sense of peace.
Zhou Shengchen and the three girls from the same group, Zhong Bai, walked around and looked around, and unknowingly arrived in front of a department store.
Upon entering, the goods inside were truly antique and elegant, including silk umbrellas, bamboo figurines, and wooden tea sets...
The four of them took out their cameras and took pictures as they walked.
Suddenly, Zhou Shengchen said to the three women, "Yesterday afternoon, when I was looking up what beautiful scenery there was near Nancheng, I accidentally discovered a small village near Anhui Province that has particularly beautiful scenery. Let's go there together next time!"
"Is it better than Nanxun?" Gu Yixin asked, tilting her head.
Zhou Shengchen said, "Nanxun has been developed for a long time, and the arrival of countless tourists has actually damaged the scenery here. The place I'm talking about is in the countryside, and hardly anyone sets foot there, so the scenery is basically still pristine."
At this point, Zhou Shengchen looked at Zhong Bai and said, "I remember you seem to really like photographing architecture, right?"
"What's wrong?" Zhong Bai raised an eyebrow. "Are there any really nice buildings there?"
Zhou Shengchen nodded: "The buildings there are typical Hui-style architecture. There are many courtyard houses in the village, and they all look very old."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai immediately became interested and hurriedly asked, "Where?"
"Jing Village!"
Zhou Shengchen uttered two words calmly.
"Jing Village?" Zhong Bai and Li Shuci exchanged a glance, then asked in confusion, "We've never heard of this village!"
Zhou Shengchen laughed and said, "It takes three hours to drive there! But I can tell you for sure that the scenery there is absolutely beautiful, especially in winter."
"Why is the scenery so beautiful in winter?" Li Shuci asked, raising her hand in confusion.
Zhou Shengchen said, "Because that photo was taken in winter, and it has plum blossoms in it, it's very beautiful." As he spoke, Zhou Shengchen opened his phone's photo album and showed the photo to the three women.
The photo shows this scene.
Snowflakes fluttered down, turning everything white. Plum trees stood proudly in the cold wind, their blooming blossoms adding a touch of delicate beauty to the white world.
Some flowers and snowflakes clustered together, appearing crystal clear;
The blooming plum blossoms boldly release their fragrant aroma into the air, announcing their arrival to the people;
The flower was white with a hint of pink, and its petals were smooth and transparent, like they were carved from amber or jade, giving it a pure and elegant appearance.
Some are as vibrant as the morning glow, some as white as auspicious snow, and some as green as jade.
The plum blossoms, still in bud, are like shy little girls, hiding in the snow with a touch of blush, striving to show the world their most beautiful smiles.
