Chapter 346 Real World (11)
They stayed in Dali for more than half a month and visited every tourist attraction, but what they liked most was to find a quiet corner to sit down, or simply stay in the hotel.
Despite this, they still experienced the unique local tie-dyeing craft and went to Shuanglang Ancient Town and Xizhou Ancient Town. However, there were crowds of people there, so they just took a quick look around and then found a place to sit down and rest.
Before saying goodbye to Dali, they decided to visit Erhai Lake again.
This time, they rented a small boat, sailed slowly to the center of the lake, and leisurely admired Erhai Lake.
The lake water is so clear that you can't see the bottom. The breeze brushes your cheeks, bringing a slight coolness.
They rowed on the lake, quietly immersed in the tranquility far away from the hustle and bustle, and time seemed to stand still.
When the boat reached a small island in the lake, there were green trees and colorful flowers on the island.
They quietly watched the beautiful scenery in front of them on the boat, and had no desire to go ashore for a walk. (This is the author's private setting, because I don't know if there is such an island. Anyway, I didn't see it the last time I went there.)
Ji Xiao was in her own native world, in a state of extreme relaxation.
Her soul and body seemed to be integrated with the world, without any constraints or pressure.
She is a person who goes with the flow and takes a laissez-faire attitude towards everything around her.
At this moment, she was immersed in the tranquility and felt extremely happy.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, bringing a faint scent of flowers.
Ji Xiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fresh fragrance.
She felt the breeze caressing her cheeks and felt extremely comfortable at the moment.
Ji Xiao couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's so beautiful here."
Fu Shiqi sat quietly opposite her, his eyes always fixed on Ji Xiao, with endless tenderness in his eyes.
"Yeah, that's right." Hearing Ji Xiao's praise, he nodded slightly to show his agreement. He didn't know whether he was talking about the beautiful scenery, the beautiful people, or both.
Ji Xiao slowly opened her eyes and turned to look at Fu Shiqi. Their eyes met, and a trace of confusion appeared on Ji Xiao's face, but it soon turned into a bright smile.
The corners of her mouth were raised and her eyes were bright, like a shining star.
"We can come here again when we have time in the future." Fu Shiqi suggested in a low and gentle voice.
"Okay." Ji Xiao agreed happily, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Then she raised her head and looked up at the azure blue sky above her head, like a gem, and she felt particularly happy.
The two of them sat quietly on the boat, enjoying the beautiful scenery before them.
They enjoyed this rare tranquility and good time. Without words, they could feel each other's deep satisfaction.
As time passed, the sun gradually set, and a colorful sunset appeared on the horizon.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the lake, making the waves sparkle and beautify the scenery.
Ji Xiao was attracted by the magnificent scenery and couldn't help but indulge in it.
Fu Shiqi looked at Ji Xiao silently, his eyes revealing his love for her.
He hopes that time can stay at this moment forever and make this beautiful moment eternal.
However, he also understood that this was just a luxury and time would not stop for anyone.
So, Fu Shiqi sighed imperceptibly and whispered, "We should go back."
Ji Xiao looked up at the beautiful scenery on the island, then cast his gaze towards the distant shore.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, it's beautiful here, but we still have to go back."
Then, she and Fu Shiqi paddled together and headed towards the shore.
At this moment, the sun in the distance has gradually set, leaving only a faint afterglow remaining on the horizon.
After returning to the shore, the two walked side by side and they randomly found a small shop to have dinner.
As night falls, the moon in the sky emits faint moonlight, and the street lights on the roadside illuminate the road ahead.
It is now late August, and most students have returned to school, especially freshmen, who need to arrive at school early to participate in military training.
Therefore, there were very few pedestrians on the road, and only a few cars passed by occasionally.
Fu Shiqi and Ji Xiao walked side by side, slowly moving along the road, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment.
"We're going to Lijiang tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to it." Ji Xiao said softly.
"Me too." Fu Shiqi looked at Ji Xiao beside her, with an imperceptible tenderness in her eyes, "Haven't you been there before?"
"I have been there. But this doesn't affect my anticipation for this trip, does it?" Ji Xiao put her hands behind her back, took a few steps forward, then turned to face Fu Shiqi, and continued with a smile: "And every trip will have different gains, the scenery along the way will be different, and the people and things you see will be different.
Just like this time, when I travel with you, we are not in a hurry to see the next scenery or experience the next project. We just take it slow. The meaning of travel is to see different scenery, not just to take photos and check in like a special forces soldier. "
She paused and continued, "In fact, isn't life a long journey? We meet different people and things and see different scenery every day. Sometimes, we rush through a road and forget to appreciate the beautiful scenery around us; sometimes, we worry about something and forget the little happiness in life. Therefore, we must learn to slow down and feel the world with our heart, so that we can better enjoy this journey."
"That's right. I remember that I went on a trip like this before I entered the circle, but at that time I didn't have the time to calm down and appreciate the scenery along the way." Fu Shiqi sighed after hearing this, his eyes full of nostalgia and emotion, as if he was recalling the good times in the past.
"Yeah, time flies!" Ji Xiao agreed. She knew how stressed and busy Fu Shiqi was in the entertainment industry, and this trip might allow him to get a moment of relaxation and peace.
"Plus, the pace of life here is slow, which is really suitable for retirement." Fu Shiqi took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air and leisurely atmosphere, and felt particularly comfortable.
"Hahahaha, you are only in your thirties and you are already thinking about retirement." Ji Xiao teased with a smile. She felt that Fu Shiqi was sometimes too mature and steady, which made people want to tease him.
"What's the big deal? I had originally planned to find a place to live in Dali when I get older, buy a small courtyard, and settle down here with two people and a dog, three meals a day, all year round." Fu Shiqi said with longing, her eyes sparkling with longing for a better life in the future.
After hearing this, Ji Xiao secretly sighed in her heart that Fu Shiqi's inner world was so delicate and poetic.
She understood that for Fu Shiqi, pursuing peace and tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle, was the lifestyle he truly desired.
However, everything now is what he likes and loves. One is life, the other is work, and the two are different.
"With your current financial situation, buying a house is not a problem at all, but if you want to live a simple life like this, you have to find a girlfriend first." Ji Xiao said jokingly.
"Hmm..." Fu Shiqi nodded thoughtfully, with a faint smile on her face.
He seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes became deep.
Ji Xiao looked at him and couldn't help laughing, "Why, don't you have someone you like yet?"
"I..." Fu Shiqi's face turned slightly red, looking a little embarrassed and shy.
He lowered his head, as if he didn't want Ji Xiao to see his expression at the moment, and his voice became soft, as if he was afraid of breaking the quiet atmosphere, "Actually, there is someone I have liked for a long time."
"Oh?" Ji Xiao couldn't help but widen her eyes with curiosity when she heard this, and asked expectantly, "Who is it? Tell me quickly."
Her gaze was fixed on Fu Shiqi, with a gossipy look in her eyes.
Fu Shiqi slowly raised her head and her eyes met Ji Xiao's.
There was endless tenderness in his eyes, as if he was showing her the most precious emotions in his heart.
In a deep and magnetic voice, he said seriously: "She is a very special girl, kind, smart, beautiful, and a little lazy..."
As Fu Shiqi described, Ji Xiao's heartbeat inexplicably quickened. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but based on her understanding of herself, the laziness was the only point that fits her description.
She began to guess who the girl Fu Shiqi was talking about, but she didn't dare to ask any more. After all, people should have a sense of boundaries, and it was obvious that Ji Xiao was a person with a strong sense of boundaries.
So she stopped looking him in the eye and quickly looked away, trying to hide the gossip in her heart, and asked calmly, "Then why didn't you tell her?"
Fu Shiqi smiled bitterly and sighed softly, her tone full of helplessness and worry, "I don't know how she feels about me, I'm afraid that if I tell her, we won't even be able to be friends..."
There was a hint of confusion and uneasiness in his eyes, as if he was full of uncertainty about this relationship.
Ji Xiao felt Fu Shiqi's inner struggle and pain, and she hoped to help him and give him some courage and confidence.
So, she encouraged him: "If you don't tell her, how can you know her feelings? Be brave, there may be unexpected results."
After hearing what Ji Xiao said, Fu Shiqi's eyes flashed with hope. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "Then I... I'll try it again after I figure it out."
