The two of them chatted as they slowly walked through the garden.
‘When they reached a few buildings and saw some people taking photos there, Luo Ziling suddenly felt a little emotional. He smiled and said to Yang Qingyin, “Senior sister, I just learned some things about the Old Summer Palace from the books, including the history related to it. I thought I knew a lot
about this garden, but when I walked in, I realized that I knew almost nothing about it. ” He smiled. “Can you tell me about this garden?”
At the building, he stood off to the side to take his photos. He didn’t want to be like the other people there and simply stood in front of a scenic spot as he took photos to remember this visit by.
He wanted to completely blend in and understand the history of the scenic spot. This way, he would slowly enjoy the charm of the place.
In reality, it was not that he did not understand the history of the Old Summer Palace. He just wanted to hear Yang Qingyin explain it to him.
Yang Qingyin naturally did not know Luo Ziling’s true thoughts, but she was very willing to tell him these things.
“Then I will show off some of the information I know about the Old Summer Palace,” Yang Qingyin readily agreed, but then she reminded him, “If I don’t explain it well, don’t laugh at me.”.
“You can explain it well.” Luo Ziling smiled and pointed to a small shop not far away. “In a while, we’ll go there to buy some food and find a place to sit down. We’ll eat while listening to your story. How about it?”
“I want to eat ice cream. Why don’t you treat me to some?”
‘When he saw Yang Qingyin’s puppy-eyed look, how could Luo Ziling refuse?
He agreed readily, but added, “Actually, you should eat less of these cold things and eat more warm things.”
“It shouldn’t be a problem to eat it occasionally, right? Or you can treat me to whatever you think is good, okay?”
Luo Ziling nodded. “Of course, no problem. Then let’s go. I’ll listen to you as we walk.”
Yang Qingyin immediately smiled happily.
If this situation was seen by others, Bao would definitely be shocked again.
Since when was Yang Qingyin willing to accept things that others bought for her? And it was food, too!
She took the initiative to ask a boy to treat her to food. This had never happened before.
Of course, Luo Ziling did not know that he had enjoyed treatment that others had never enjoyed. He felt that everything was natural.
Yang Qingyin walked slowly with Luo Ziling. As per his request, she began to narrate the history related to the Old Summer Palace.
“The Old Summer Palace was built at the end of Kangxi’s reign. It was already at its peak during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign. The entire park consists of the Old Summer Palace, the garden of Eternal Spring, and the garden of Eternal Spring.”
Luo Ziling listened attentively and even interjected with questions from time to time.
After listening to Yang Qingyin’s explanation, he also ended up learning more about the palace.
Standing in the garden and listening to a beautiful woman who knew about history and scenery, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel that this was one of life’s great pleasures.
In fact, he didn’t need to walk around. Just walking slowly with Yang Qingyin, talking to her, and talking about the history and knowledge related to the scenic spots, was already one of the best points of the trip here.
Luo Ziling believed in one sentence: When you traveled, what you were satisfied with was not the scenery, but the people you traveled with.
He felt that no matter where he went, if it was with Yang Qingyin, he would definitely have a great time.
“In the north of Changchun Garden, there was also a European style garden building, commonly known as the ‘Xiyang Lou’. It was made up of more than ten buildings and gardens, including Haiyan Tang, Dashuifa, Guanshuifa, Xianfa Shan, and Xianfa Hua.”
“After the Second Opium War in 1860, the Anglo-french Alliance army looted the Old Summer Palace, including its cultural relics. When they ruled together, they wanted to restore it, but due to financial difficulties, they were forced to stop and rebuild other buildings. After the eight-nation allied forces
were robbed by bandits, they were finally turned into ruins.”
“Those ruins are still there, and it’s the main attraction of Your Old Summer Palace.” Yang Qingyin tilted her head to look at Luo ziling, smiled, and said, “Why don’t we go there directly today, and come to other places later?”
Yang Qingyin took the initiative to say that they would come to other attractions later, so of course, Luo Ziling couldn’t ask for more, and he agreed very readily.
‘When the two of them quickened their steps towards the scenic area of the Xiyang Lou. Luo Ziling said, “Senior sister, your knowledge of history is really rich. After hearing so many historical facts from you, you are indeed worthy of being a top student in the history department!”
“gladly accept all your compliments.”
“Ididn’t praise you, though. I’m just stating a fact.”
“Actually, I don’t like my major.” Yang Qingyin sighed when she said this.
Luo Ziling could tell that something was off from her sigh and her slight frown. He couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Didn’t you choose your major?”
“That’s not important anymore. What’s important is that I’m already in my second year.” Yang Qingyin smiled and asked Luo Ziling, “You’re so good at medicine. Why did you come to study it?”
“My grandfather helped me choose my major. Actually, I’m quite curious: Logically speaking, if my grandfather wants me to study medicine, I should also study Chinese medicine because most of the medical knowledge he taught me was related to traditional medicine,” Luo Ziling said, smiling
embarrassedly. “It’s just like you said: What I studied in university isn’t very important. My grandfather probably just wanted to send me here for the experience. It doesn’t matter what I study.”
At this point, he could not help but brag. “Hehe, my grandfather will definitely not let me study traditional medicine. He said that with my knowledge, I should be the ones teaching those professors in the traditional medicine academy.”
“Great job using your grandfather’s mouth to brag.”
“Do I need to brag, though?”
“Who knows?” Yang Qingyin curled her lips into a smile. “But I believe that your medical skills are good. The diagnosis and treatment you gave me was correct, and the treatment measures were also just right.”
“Then you can treat me to a meal to express your gratitude.” Luo ziling grinned, and his smile was a little wretched.
Yang Qingyin rolled her eyes. “You’re the one treating me today. I’ll treat you next time, okay?” she said playfully, though she did not refuse. She then asked curiously, “Why did your grandfather decide on the major you chose? Where are your parents?”
Upon hearing Yang Qingyin ask about his parents, the smile on Luo Ziling’s face disappeared. He sighed slightly and said, “I grew up with my grandfather and never met my parents.”
These words made Yang Qingyin’s heart sink. She immediately regretted asking this question and awkwardly said, “I’m sorry, I…”
“I’s nothing,” he interrupted her. “My parents are still around, but I haven’t seen them.”
Luo Ziling’s words surprised Yang Qingyin even more. She felt that there had to be a wonderful story behind this shy boy who was actually quite spirited.
However, she was too embarrassed to ask about it..
