Chapter 34 Ancient Town Fortunately, Uncle Liu didn’t say much, and he was very considerate and gently closed the car door without disturbing me corner of Lu Li's mouth twitched. Uncle Liu's expression just now must be a misunderstanding! He lowered his head and gently woke Jiang Lianxue up, "We're here." Jiang Lianxue rubbed her eyes and sat up straight. She looked dazed, "Lu Li, I know what kind of monster you are!" "Ok?" "You must be a pillow monster! Otherwise why would it be so comfortable to sleep with you in my arms!" Lu Li smiled and ruffled her hair, "So how are you going to defeat the pillow monster?" Jiang Lianxue wrapped her arms around Lu Li's neck and leaned back slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "I plan to keep this pillow monster with me. Whenever I go to sleep, I will hold him in my arms to prevent him from running away!" "Then you succeeded." Lu Li gently kissed Jiang Lianxue's forehead, then moved sideways and put her on the seat beside him. He bent down and picked up the white sneakers to put on her. Jiang Lianxue blinked and smiled, moving her little feet in white socks up and down, deliberately preventing him from putting on his shoes.
Lu Li smiled and reached out to pinch the little foot before finally putting the shoe on. When he looked up, Jiang Lianxue opened her arms again, her face full of anticipation. "Little Ultraman, you've been holding me all the way, do you still want to hold me?" Jiang Lianxue pouted, "Just now that was a goodnight hug, now it's a good morning hug, they're different!" "Then, just hug me." Five minutes later, Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue got out of the car. Jiang Lianxue looked very happy, breathing in the fresh evening air deeply. Lu Li, who was standing aside, also stretched. He had clearly agreed to hug her, but once he did, he didn't want to let go. After sitting in the car for so long, his body was already feeling a little sore. As night fell, Lu Li noticed that the destination of this trip was the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. He remembered Jiang Lianxue saying that the reason she chose Jiangnan University was because she liked the ancient town here. Xitang Ancient Town is also known as the "living ancient town". This place is not only a well-known tourist attraction, but also a place where many citizens live. Modern and ancient times merge here, and time seems to have stood still. Even though it was already 9:30 in the evening, the ancient town not far away was still flashing with lights, and many tourists were coming in and out. Uncle Liu handed a bunch of keys to Jiang Lianxue and drove away. Jiang Lianxue looked at Lu Li with a smile, "Let's go! I'm more familiar with this place than Jiangnan University." Since Lu Li came to Jiangnan City, he has not had the opportunity to visit this ancient town. I can take this opportunity tonight to accompany my rich sister for a walk. The night wind was blowing wildly, the crowd was noisy and enthusiastic, and the two walked into the ancient town hand in hand.
On one side are rows of shops and tourists strolling among them, and on the other side are the quietly flowing river and the black-sailed boats swaying on it. The light boat is eight feet long, with a low canopy of three panels, blocking the mist and rain of Pingzhou. Jiang Lianxue's gaze quickly drifted to those shops. One shop was selling steamed pork in lotus leaves. The rich and fragrant aroma was very tempting. Looking at Jiang Lianxue who was drooling, Lu Li felt a little amused. "Let's go buy two and try them." "Okay!" A few minutes later, the two sat on chairs in the corridor and ate steamed pork with rice flour together. A black-sailed boat was passing by not far behind them, and someone was playing the erhu on the boat. Jiang Lianxue held the steamed pork with rice flour in both hands, puffed up her little mouth and blew on it non-stop, looking extremely anxious. Lu Li smiled and said, "Wait a while before eating, or you'll burn your mouth." Jiang Lianxue raised her head with a wronged look on her face, tears welling up in her eyes, and she spoke in a sobbing voice, "But it smells so good!" Lu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing. Is there really someone in this world who would cry because he couldn't taste delicious food immediately? It feels a little silly, but kind of cute. Seeing that he was still laughing, Jiang Lianxue stamped her feet in anger, "Think of a solution~" "Dude, I'm a pillow monster, not a refrigerator monster, can I still cool it down?" Jiang Lianxue puffed up her lips, stretched out a finger and gently poked Lu Li's chest, "Then you really are a naive person~" "????" No, buddy, when you hugged me in the car, you loved me so much that you couldn't let go, and now you are trying to be timid again? Oh, a fickle woman. Lu Li rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, "Come, let's blow together!" If you say a boy is lazy, he may not care. If you tell a boy that he is poor, he may admit it directly. But if you say he is not capable, then a question mark will arise. Jiang Lianxue's chubby face suddenly disappeared and she became smiling. The two little heads came together and started blowing. Passing tourists couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. The young couple was so adorable that everyone couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to shoot videos and post them on short video platforms. After two or three minutes of effort, the steamed pork with rice flour finally cooled naturally under the influence of the evening breeze. Jiang Lianxue opened her mouth excitedly and took a bite, then showed a satisfied expression and narrowed her eyes with a smile. Lu Li, who was sitting next to him, bit into a steamed pork with rice flour and asked curiously, "Aren't you very familiar with this ancient town? Haven't you bought steamed pork with rice flour here before?"
Jiang Lianxue shook her head, "I used to be afraid of getting fat." "Aren't you afraid now?" "Hehe, even if I turn into a stegosaurus, there will still be people who want me!" Lu Li smiled and raised his hand to touch Jiang Lianxue's head, and Jiang Lianxue leaned on his shoulder. She ate steamed pork with rice flour in one hand and poked Lu Li secretly with the other hand, "From now on, you are the refrigerator pillow beast!" "Digimon evolution?" "Buzz~Buzz~" Looking at Jiang Lianxue who was imitating the Digimon evolution BGM, Lu Li laughed out loud. "Stop buzzing, the meat will come out soon." "Hey hey hey." Jiang Lianxue smiled and shook her little head, then continued to eat meat happily. After waiting for a few minutes, the two men, who had eaten and drunk their fill, stood up and continued walking along the waterside of the ancient town. There are many shops on the roadside that rent ancient costumes. They will then help with makeup and take photos, and then print out the photos and give them to tourists. When they saw Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue passing by, their eyes suddenly widened and they shouted excitedly. "Handsome guys and beautiful girls! Take a picture! I'll give you a discount!" Jiang Lianxue seemed accustomed to this kind of scene, and just waved her hand with a cold face to refuse. Lu Li put his arms around her waist, holding her in his arms, and politely told the merchants that they didn't need it. He subconsciously thought of Uncle Liu's look when he came to deliver the box. If he really had such a sharp look, perhaps this group of people would not even dare to speak. Fortunately, there were only a few people soliciting customers, and no one would bother us once we squeezed in. The two walked to a stone bridge, and just as Lu Li was about to step onto it, he was pulled back by Jiang Lianxue. "Wait, you can't just go on this bridge." Lu Li stopped and was very curious, "Any explanation?" "This bridge is called the Phoenix Bridge. There are stairs on the south side of the bridge and a slope on the north side. It is said that newlyweds who walk along the stairs on the south side will give birth to a son, and those who walk along the slope on the north side will give birth to a daughter." Jiang Lianxue blinked and looked at Lu Li, speaking very seriously. Looking at the stone bridge in front of me again, it was just as she said, with steps on one side and a slope on the other. Lu Li hesitated for a second, then smiled and said, "One of us will take the stairs, and the other will take the ramp. Then we can have two children! One boy and one girl." Jiang Lianxue's pupils slightly dilated, and then she smiled brightly, "You can have as many children as you want with me! My family can afford it anyway!" (End of this chapter)
