Chapter 360: 270. Checking on the first day

Fresh.

For Guan Yongyi, everything was fresh.

Whether it was traveling to a strange city with her boyfriend or going on an inter-provincial business trip with her boss to attend a court session, these were all new and exciting first experiences in her life.

It seemed that even the air in Hang City was free.

So much so that when Xie Yujia played host and entertained everyone, Guan Yongyi, out of character, had a smile on her lips, and even strangers could tell she was in high spirits.

After dinner, everyone returned to the hotel, and what followed was free time.

"Look! It’s so beautiful here!"

Traveling was the catalyst that ignited the passion between couples.

The night scenery of Hang City, of course, was not just the splendor of Qianjiang New City, or the poetic and dazzling beauty by the West Lake.

By the Grand Canal, there was a different kind of night color.

A 22-kilometer-long lighting landscape had been created along both banks of the Grand Canal, covering Fuyi Warehouse, Wulin Gate Wharf, Gongchen Bridge, and other spots, just near the hotel where the two were staying.

As dusk fell, a man and a woman huddled together by the canal, looking far into the distance, the banks awash with flowing colors, brilliant as a river of stars.

Stepping out of the comfort zone of Jiangcheng Three Towns, Guan Yongyi seemed to have shed some kind of shackles, almost sticking to Lu Jincheng’s side, even her normally cool demeanor had changed a great deal.

The weather in Hang City wasn’t too cold, she clung tightly to the man’s arm, strolling along the canal night scene, exclaiming from time to time at the romantic beauty in front of her.

"Come here, let’s take a photo here."

As they walked, Guan Yongyi tugged at Lu Jincheng’s sleeve, stopped, and took out her phone to point at Qingyuan Bridge not far ahead.

Qingyuan Bridge, homophonic to "Bridge of Love," was one of the most favored spots among young lovers.

The entire bridge was surrounded by colorful lights, changing infinitely, with a romantic atmosphere to the max, easy to capture in any photograph.

"You hold it! Hold the camera up, otherwise, my face looks huge."

"Squat down a bit, you’re so tall."

"Angle it up, yes, yes, yes, why aren’t you smiling! Are you unhappy taking a photo with me?"

Everyone knew that Mr. Lu was actually a master photographer.

But the best choice at this time was not to tell her how to take the best photo.

Instead, he grinned and played the camera man, quietly listening to Guan Guan’s directions, striking the poses she liked.

As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

When being with a girl, interaction and experience were the most important.

As for photography skills, composition, lighting, depth of field arrangement, they all took a back seat.

A true beauty doesn’t need technical skills, a random shot is still beautiful.

"It’s passable, the way you took it."

After the clicks, Guan Yongyi tiptoed to take back her phone from Lu Jincheng’s hand, and immediately reviewed his ’homework.’

Her pale fingertips flipped through the screen, the short-haired girl fell into a dilemma of choice, finding every shot satisfactory.

The scene in the photos was like this.

The ten-mile strip of lights on the bridge, twinkling with starlight, seemed like a dream.

In the background, one could see the willow trees on the shore, adorned with bright little shooting stars, making the banks look like star waterfalls from afar.

Lu Jincheng and Guan Yongyi, tall and short, heads close together, beaming smiles.

She casually picked one and set it as her phone’s background.

"That..."

Lu Jincheng caught a glimpse of her movement out of the corner of his eye and hesitated.

"What! I’ll change it back before we return to Jiang City, is that okay?"

Guan Yongyi raised an eyebrow, seeing through the man’s implication, immediately putting on a girlish, coquettish tone.

She understood.

Playing the underground girlfriend for so long, self-discipline was to not give anything away.

Switching to a couple’s phone background was like seeking one’s own doom.

Of course, she understood.

"I... I didn’t say anything."

Lu Jincheng took her left hand, said sheepishly.

Guan Guan’s understanding demeanor reminded one easily of the description of love in the "Bible · New Testament · 1 Corinthians":

It makes one’s heart ache.

— Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy.

But, can anyone truly not feel jealous?

The two continued to walk, with boats sailing in the painting, people strolling in the scenery.

Strolling by the canal, lights were everywhere, the night colored splendidly.

Beiguan Night Market was dotted with fishing lights, Ten Miles Silver Lake Villa shimmered with fireflies, the red lanterns of the Small River Direct Street were festively cheerful...

What girls of this age really wanted was quite simple.

Companionship, as much of it as possible.

Lu Jincheng did just that, holding the short-haired girl’s hand and walking for almost an hour before returning to the hotel.

"Why don’t you go back, why are you following me in?"

From the lobby to the elevator, then from the elevator to the hallway, and finally from the hallway to the door of the room.

As if understanding some unspoken agreement, neither of them said a word, and they both walked into Guan Yongyi’s room.

Only when the man expertly closed the door, and met the girl’s gaze with a half-smile, did Guan Yongyi finally speak.

"I just wanted to spend some more time with you."

"And where were you during Christmas?"

The proud question, though late, had arrived.

Leaving behind the bustling night scene of Hang City and returning to the private space of the hotel, Guan Yongyi crossed her arms, reverting to her usual self.

Of course, she was asking rhetorically.

But after all, when she was secretly angry, she had a whole bunch of questions hidden in her stomach!

Only in a room with no one else around, could she really pull him up to ask for clarification.

Thinking of me now, where were you during the holiday?

"..."

Unable to respond, Lu Jincheng could only use body language.

He stepped forward and opened his arms, embracing the short-haired girl.

"Don’t touch me! Get away!"

A token struggle was no match for his broad smile and sincerity.
