Chapter 244 What Song Qian Said
Huang Zhitao texted Qiao Yingzi, wanting to study together during the summer vacation.
When Qiao Yingzi received the message, she was already on the high-speed train to Yingtianfu.
She happily raised her phone and took a few selfies. After looking at them, she wasn't satisfied, so she took a few more photos of herself and Ji Yangyang together and sent them to Huang Zhitao with the message, "We're on our way to Yingtianfu! Grinning face."
Huang Zhitao immediately replied with a question mark face, "Going to Yingtian Prefecture? Just the two of you?"
Qiao Yingzi really wanted to say that it was just the two of them, but she was afraid of being embarrassed by the mistake, so she told the truth instead.
Huang Zhitao openly expressed her envy.
The information said they envied Qiao Yingzi for being able to travel.
The business class seats are only slightly more comfortable; otherwise, there's not much difference.
More than four hours later, the three of them walked out of the high-speed rail station with two suitcases.
Ji Yangyang led the two to the hotel with practiced ease.
"Yangyang, you seem very familiar with this place. Have you been here before?" Song Qian asked curiously about Ji Yangyang's familiarity with the itinerary.
Ji Yangyang took out her phone. "I did come here before, and I checked in advance."
Having lived here for over a hundred years, how could I not be familiar with it?
After settling into the hotel, Ji Yangyang knocked on the mother and daughter's door, "Let's go for a walk around the neighborhood this afternoon."
Since arriving in another city, Song Qian has become less assertive, doing whatever Ji Yangyang tells her to do!
Xuanwu Lake has become a tourist attraction. Looking at the lake in front of him, Ji Yangyang thought of the Qiao family members.
Since starting university, we've rarely visited Xuanwu Lake anymore. Our main impression of Xuanwu Lake is still from when we were kids, exercising with Qiao Erqiang, Sanli, and Simei.
The park is beautifully planned, with Chinese torreya, beech, and pine trees arranged irregularly, including many rare species. Red lotuses are blooming in the shallow waters near the lake; the scenery is indeed quite beautiful, much better than it was decades ago.
But it always feels like something's missing.
It lacks a touch of natural harmony.
Even so, Qiao Yingzi was still very happy. She was already happy to have walked ten kilometers outside her neighborhood, let alone to such a distant place.
We rented a boat, one of those electric four-person boats with a steering wheel. Driving the boat was not much different from driving a car.
The small boat was steered to the center of the lake and slowly brought to a stop, gently swaying with the ripples. Sitting on the boat, looking around, the surrounding scenery unfolded like a breathtaking painting, offering a completely different and wonderful experience.
The distant city walls appeared exceptionally majestic and magnificent under the sunlight. The dark green forest was like a gorgeous robe draped over Mother Earth. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if whispering ancient and mysterious stories.
Nearby, the crystal-clear lake water reflects the blue sky, white clouds, and lush green trees on the shore. Occasionally, a few small fish leap merrily out of the water, breaking the tranquility of the lake and leaving behind beautiful watermarks.
A flock of white birds soared and flew freely, their clear and melodious calls blending with the harmonious symphony of nature, creating a breathtaking scene.
At this moment, standing in the center of this tranquil and beautiful lake, feeling the gentle breeze on my cheeks and listening to the wonderful sounds of nature, it's as if time has stood still, and all worries and fatigue have been cast to the winds. This unique experience is intoxicating and makes one linger.
Qiao Yingzi spread her arms, closed her eyes, and felt the breeze. After a moment, she exclaimed from the depths of her soul, "Awesome!!!"
The emotions that had been suppressed for so long were released all at once. Song Qian also felt Qiao Yingzi's relief. She smiled slightly and looked at Ji Yangyang with gratitude.
While Qiao Yingzi had her eyes closed, Ji Yangyang took Song Qian's hand and tickled her palm.
Afraid that Qiao Yingzi would open her eyes, Song Qian quickly withdrew her hand and glared at Ji Yangyang.
Qiao Yingzi woke up quickly as expected. "Mom, it's so comfortable here! I wish I could float like this forever!"
"Don't talk nonsense! It's getting late, we should go back after staying a little longer." Song Qian unconsciously took on the role of a mother, and Qiao Yingzi felt uncomfortable if she didn't listen to her.
"Sister Qian, we've come all this way, why not have a blast this once in a while!" Ji Yangyang used the "since we're already here" tactic.
Song Qian gave Ji Yangyang face and didn't say anything more.
Qiao Yingzi glanced at Ji Yangyang shyly, then quickly turned her head to look at the distant scenery. That Ji Yangyang! Doesn't he know how to behave? What if Mom finds out!
They played until it was getting dark before returning to the vicinity of the hotel. Ji Yangyang took the two to a very good restaurant. This restaurant used to be Qiao Erqiang's most feared competitor. It was also very unique and well-run.
"Yangyang, your plan is so detailed! If you don't book in advance, you don't know when you'll get to eat at this restaurant!" Song Qian looked at the people queuing outside the store and gave Ji Yangyang a thumbs up.
Ji Yangyang looked at Qiao Yingzi and said, "Planning ahead can save a lot of trouble."
Qiao Yingzi sensed the implication in Ji Yangyang's words, "Is there something about me that's causing you trouble?"
"No, this is just a warning."
Song Qian loves making plans, especially for Qiao Yingzi, and looked at Ji Yangyang with great approval.
confidant!
No wonder I like Ji Yangyang so much, we're kindred spirits!
That evening, Song Qian and her daughter were both very tired and went back to the hotel to rest.
The next morning, they strolled around a nearby park, and at 3 p.m., the three of them arrived at the observatory.
The observatory showcases numerous research findings and valuable data about the mysteries of the universe. However, for the average tourist, the area open to the public is more like a museum.
As people step into this mysterious place, the first thing that catches their eye is the collection of antique, large-scale astronomical instruments on display. These ancient and solemn instruments, like messengers from a time tunnel, silently recount humanity's exploration of the stars over the years. Among them, the most eye-catching are the enormous altazimuth and the exquisite celestial globe, undoubtedly the crystallization of ancient astronomical wisdom, witnessing countless moments of brilliance and change in the night sky.
In contrast, Song Qian didn't seem particularly interested in these ancient astronomical instruments. She simply glanced around casually, occasionally stopping to give a quick look at an exhibit before continuing on her way. Qiao Yingzi, on the other hand, was completely different. She genuinely loved astronomy, her gaze focused intently on each exhibit, carefully examining its details, and frequently taking out her phone to check related information online, comparing what she saw with her existing knowledge.
Stepping into the indoor venue, one finds several unique exhibition areas. Some areas showcase a series of small devices and instruments, which, though small in size, exude the charm of high technology; others display various rare meteorites and fossils of different shapes. In Qiao Yingzi's eyes, these are like messengers from ancient times, conveying bits and pieces of astronomical history.
