Chapter 81: Shopping mall encounter

The next day, April 29th.

It was already after nine o'clock when I woke up. I opened my phone and saw that there were almost seven or eight unread messages, including many requests for voice calls.

This is a message from Lin Qingyue, the earliest one is at 7:30.

These messages were nothing more than asking me if I was awake, but later they turned into calling me a pig, and they even called me a few times during this period.

I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Wasn't she tired at all? So I replied: "I'm up, why did you wake up so early?"

"Brother, we are going on a trip, how can you sleep so well? I can't even sleep, okay?" Lin Qingyue complained.

I was a little embarrassed, maybe because I was familiar with it, so I wasn't as excited as Lin Qingyue.

"Then just knock on my door. My phone was silent last night and I didn't hear your call." I said.

"You think I don't want to? But how dare I? You finish washing up quickly and we check out quickly. I really don't dare to stay here anymore." Lin Qingyue said.

I was a little puzzled, but didn't say anything. I agreed and went to wash up.

It wasn't until I finished packing my things and opened the door that I realized what Lin Qingyue meant by "dare not".

It is indeed a bit "underworld" here. It is so dark in broad daylight. Only the window at the end of the corridor lets in sunlight, but the corridor is completely dark. But after all, it is still daytime and there is sunlight outside the window, so it is not like yesterday.

It's so scary late.

After arriving at Lin Qingyue's floor, I found her room and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" came her voice from inside.

"Zhou Jing." I replied.

So Lin Qingyue opened the door and saw that she had packed up and even put on a light makeup on her face.

Lin Qingyue's outfit today did not lean toward sports style, but changed into a casual style. She wore a white women's sleeveless shirt and denim shorts, showing off her long, white and straight legs.

, in short, her outfit today looks very cool.

I couldn't help but remind: "It might be a little cold outside, so you only wear this much. What if you catch a cold?"

Lin Qingyue opened the weather forecast on her mobile phone, then raised it in front of me and said to me: "It's only 22 degrees Celsius, it's okay."

Since she said that, I didn't say anything more and just let her do it. But I was wearing a gray suede jacket and I could just take it off when it got hot.



The second hotel we stayed in until May 3rd was located near Confucius Temple. After exiting the subway, we walked about 300 meters forward.

When I was making the selection, I mainly took into consideration the geographical location, so I chose this place. On the one hand, it is relatively close to Xinjiekou, and on the other hand, the environment is good. Although it is not a star hotel, it is not bad.

The Confucius Temple Scenic Area is free, so you only need to book tickets on the official account or the ticket purchase app. Yesterday, I booked tickets for tonight with Lin Qingyue, but the painting boat requires money.

I have also taken a boat ride on the Qinhuai River before, but I did it with a cousin of mine. Unlike my cousin who was born and raised in Nanjing, she lived abroad, so after coming to Nanjing that time, I insisted on taking it.

She wanted me to accompany her around Nanjing, so I took her on a boat ride on the Qinhuai River.

It's just that I was so sleepy that I almost fell asleep, so naturally I didn't enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. I have to say that the automatically played commentary on the boat was too hypnotic.

But this time is different. If I sit on the boat with Lin Qingyue, I will definitely not feel sleepy. The most important thing is to watch people!

After putting down our luggage at the hotel, we walked towards the subway entrance. On both sides of the street below our feet were neat and uniform Jiangnan water town buildings. The tops were black rubble and the walls were uniform white. The buildings were lined up in rows.

, quite distinctive.

When we walked onto a stone bridge, Lin Qingyue suddenly stopped, then turned around and looked at the gurgling Qinhuai River on the left.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly.

"Don't you think it's so beautiful? The small bridges and flowing water with the houses are so fitting." Lin Qingyue pointed to the distance as she spoke.

Not far across from us, there is another stone bridge. There are also many people standing on the stone bridge. On the left bank, trees that look like whitebark pine and arborvitae are planted, with lush branches and leaves that even extend to the river.

On the right bank are all white buildings.

The gurgling Qinhuai River flows under our feet. The breeze blows slightly, and ripples appear on the river. Many tourists passing by here also stop like us, and some have already taken out their mobile phones and started taking pictures.

I smiled and said, "It looks one way now, but it looks another way at night."

"Oh?" Lin Qingyue was a little confused.

I deliberately didn't say anything and smiled at her: "You will know when you come back tonight."

"Okay." Lin Qingyue nodded, but she still took a photo of the scene with her mobile phone, and then pulled me to continue walking to the subway entrance.



When we arrived at Xinjiekou, it was already around 11 a.m. Since we hadn’t had breakfast, we simply went straight to find a place to have lunch.

Of course, there are a lot of delicious food in Xinjiekou, but Lin Qingyue wanted to eat authentic Suzhou and Hangzhou cuisine, so I excluded the snacks near Xinjiekou and simply took her to Aishang on Zhongshan Road.

Tiandi is a large comprehensive shopping mall.

After walking around the mall for a few times, we found a Suzhou and Hangzhou restaurant in the mall. However, before eating, I would recommend buying something to drink in advance.

"Is this okay?" Lin Qingyue asked.

I nodded and said: "Most of them are no problem. After all, the drinks in the restaurant are too expensive, and they may not taste good. It's better to buy drinks and bring them in."

Lin Qingyue suddenly understood, then she smiled at me and said, "Then I'll treat you to a drink of coco, as compensation for you."

I curled my lips and said, "I thought you wanted to invite me to dinner."

"This is okay too." Lin Qingyue nodded.

That's all, the compensation I want is definitely not these, but I don't dare to say these words to Lin Qingyue, I just think about it in my heart.

After buying drinks, we went to this Suzhou and Hangzhou restaurant together. Fortunately, there was still one day left before the official May Day holiday, so even though it was almost noon, the number of people in the mall was not too large, but if it was the May Day holiday,

During the holidays, the number of people will definitely increase dramatically, and you will have to wait in line for more than half an hour.

The per capita consumption of this restaurant is still very high. It costs almost 100 yuan per person. The unit price of the dishes is also a bit expensive. A serving of chicken shredded cold noodles costs 35 yuan, but the same dish is sold elsewhere outside.

Some places are definitely cheaper.

But I didn't feel anything. Since Lin Qingyue wanted to eat, I took her to eat.

While Lin Qingyue was ordering food, I was looking around idly, but when I looked at a certain table in the restaurant, I found that I met an acquaintance...

This really surprised me, because this acquaintance was none other than the cousin I just mentioned. I didn’t know when she returned to China, and of course I didn’t expect to meet her here. She was traveling with someone else.

A woman sat opposite me. I didn't know that woman, but I think she was her friend.

My cousin also discovered me and was a little surprised at first, but after seeing Lin Qingyue opposite me, her expression turned playful.

I secretly said something bad.

Sure enough, my cousin had already stood up and walked towards my table...

"Zhou Jing, what a coincidence." Although my cousin was talking to me, she was looking at Lin Qingyue with a hint of scrutiny and curiosity in her eyes.

Lin Qingyue was slightly startled and raised her head to look at her with some doubts in her eyes.

I quickly prepared to introduce her to Lin Qingyue, but she started to speak on her own. She smiled slightly and said to Lin Qingyue: "My name is Wang Pianpian, and I am Zhou Jing's cousin. Are you Qingyue?"

When Lin Qingyue heard that she was a member of my family, her expression suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have changed into a dignified lady in front of her.

I saw Lin Qingyue sitting upright, nodding politely and obediently: "Hello, sister, I am Lin Qingyue."

Seeing the change in Lin Qingyue's demeanor, even though I was very familiar with her, I couldn't help but open my mouth. This...is this too exaggerated?
