Xiang Wan had some complaints.
Ever since Niannian was born, she had never been separated from her.
Yesterday, they had already been apart for one night, and in the future, they would be separated for several more days...
"It's not that I don't trust you, please forgive a mother's heart... Can I video call her every day to see her?"
"Of course, I understand you very well. Even if you don't call, I'll send it to you proactively."
Melody took out her phone, opened WeChat, and handed her the QR code.
"Let's add each other as friends. To be honest, I really like you."
Lu Mingzhe had said he was going out to play, but he hadn't decided where specifically.
The decision was made randomly on the way from the hospital back to the hotel to pack their luggage with Xiang Wan.
"How about going to Yuncheng? There are many places suitable for tourism, and we can visit several cities one by one. I promise you, after we finish touring, we'll return to Nancheng."
Xiang Wan had heard from TV shows since she was little that Yuncheng had beautiful mountains, good water, and a great environment, but she had never been there before, so she agreed.
The two soon embarked on their journey.
They arrived at their destination at night. Lu Mingzhe had booked a hotel in advance. After putting down their luggage, they walked on the street. The ethnic village at night was beautiful and lively.
Along the way, there were shops and stalls selling gorgeous clothes with national characteristics, various local snacks, and handicrafts, which were simply dazzling.
The vast majority of tourists were young men and women.
Walking among the handsome and beautiful young people, it was hard not to be in a good mood.
Lu Mingzhe saw that the female tourists coming and going were all wearing beautiful Dai ethnic clothing. While Xiang Wan was looking down at a small accessory, he stopped three girls who were walking together.
"Excuse me, may I ask if you bought your clothes or rented them? Where did you buy them? I want to get a set for my wife, thank you."
The three girls were all young and beautiful. Seeing a handsome guy suddenly appear before them, they thought he was asking for their WeChat, but it turned out he was already married.
While feeling disappointed, they kindly pointed him to the shop.
"Why do handsome guys get married so early these days? It's too heartbreaking."
"Do you have any friends or brothers you can introduce to us?"
Lu Mingzhe was about to say no when Xiang Wan heard their voices and instinctively turned her head.
Seeing that the girls were about the same age as Xiang Yang, she couldn't help but ask them where they were from and how old they were.
The girls said they were from Nancheng and were all college students. One of their sisters had a breakup and impulsively took leave, heading there without hesitation.
Isn't this a coincidence? Xiang Yang was single, they were all from Nancheng, and they were of similar age.
Xiang Wan's eyes moved, and Lu Mingzhe knew what she was thinking. He quickly reached out and stopped her.
"Let's buy clothes first, let's buy clothes first. She just had a breakup, her mind is not clear, let them calm down for a couple of days."
"Thank you, we're leaving."
Xiang Wan was pulled by him toward the clothing store, with a look of wistful loss on her face.
"I wonder how Xiang Yang is doing now, if he hates me, and if he has finished his money."
"During last year's Lunar New Year, I almost couldn't resist calling him, but then I thought, when I was his age, I was already independent and out on my own. He's a man, he should learn to be strong too."
Lu Mingzhe said, "Then you still want to introduce a partner to him? Shouldn't you work hard on this yourself?"
"It's different. He's my brother after all. If something happens, I'll think of him first."
"Don't think too much about it. Your Xiang family has the gene of strength. With a strong sister like you before him, how could he not be strong? Maybe he already has a girlfriend."
Xiang Wan felt that his tone was a bit strange.
"You said you haven't contacted him, but do you know something?"
Lu Mingzhe didn't want to mention his ill-fated relationship with Chen Jiaojiao.
"What could I know? I wish I could contact them, but they have to acknowledge me first."
"Never mind, let's not talk about him. We are here to enjoy our own little life, let's go choose clothes."
Admittedly, the dyeing and printing craftsmanship here was quite skillful. The colors, whether pink, green, blue, or others, were all striking and unconventional.
Especially on Xiang Wan, every outfit made her look stunning and captivating.
Lu Mingzhe made the decision and chose a green set, a complete outfit, including headwear and slippers, for a total of 115 yuan.
So cheap?
Both of them showed a surprised glow in their eyes.
Lu Mingzhe then decided to buy white and pink sets as well, so they could change them daily.
Xiang Wan wanted to buy a set for Melody and her female apprentice each. Before they had even paid, a night market photographer approached them with a camera.
"Two sets of clothes for 199 yuan. Madam, you are too beautiful, we can take photos of you for free. Would it be okay to use your photos for promotion?"
Xiang Wan's model genes flickered, and she wanted to agree, but she still looked at Lu Mingzhe first to ask for his opinion.
Lu Mingzhe glanced at the unedited photos on his camera. "Take couple photos for us. We'll pay you the money, and you can use the photos as you wish."
The photographer was overjoyed and quickly arranged a time and place with them.
Xiang Wan reminded him, "What if tourists post them online..."
"I told you to listen to me these days. Do you want to go back on your word?"
Lu Mingzhe also changed into ethnic attire.
The two, like the ah-ge and ah-mei who used to sing folk songs in books, had several sets of distinctive scenic photos taken.
They shopped until very late before returning to the hotel. While washing up, Lu Mingzhe insisted on doing it together. Xiang Wan asked if he wasn't tired.
"I haven't seen you for a year. I have to make up for it, I'm not tired."
"We still have to go out and play tomorrow. You're not tired now, tomorrow..."
"Don't worry, it won't delay your trip. I'll risk my life these days to get it back from you."
Xiang Wan hit him, "Don't always say 'risk your life, risk your life.' Is your life so worthless?"
Her eyes moved, and she noticed a purplish, winding scar on his chest where his buttons were undone.
Although not particularly long, about three to four centimeters, it was very close to his heart.
She held open his clothes to look closely, her eyes filled with undisguised heartache.
"When did you get injured? How did it happen? Were you sick or did you get into a fight? How did it get injured here? Was it very dangerous at the time?"
It was indeed quite dangerous.
At that time, he couldn't find Xiang Wan anywhere, and he learned about all the good deeds his mother had done behind his back. Lu Mingzhe just wanted to return this life to her.
He just wanted to completely cut ties with her.
However, it was all in the past, and he didn't want to bring it up again.
"You're worried about me? It's all fine now. What's this compared to your wound?"
Xiang Wan had a seven or eight centimeter scar on her abdomen from giving birth to Niannian. If they could go through life together, he vowed never to let her have children again.
As he spoke, he carefully reached out to touch her scar again. His gaze was so tender that Xiang Wan was instantly captivated.
"If you can't get enough, it'll be my turn later."
She was too good at caring for people, and Lu Mingzhe was very satisfied.
Not satisfied with saving energy, but...
"I've been waiting for you to say that. I'll be waiting for you then."
The two cared for each other, singing and making music all night, and both were still energetic the next day.
