Chapter 344 Real World (9)
In this way, the two spent more than half a month of leisurely time at Ji Xiao's home.
During this period, Ji Xiao spent almost no time reading, but spent most of his time sleeping, eating, drinking and having fun.
The books she brought back seemed like just decorations, with no sense of existence at all.
In order not to waste extra space in the suitcase, Ji Xiao decided to express the books to Fu Shiqi's assistant and ask him to receive them on her behalf.
Just like that, half a month later in early August, Ji Xiao bid farewell to her family and boarded the high-speed train to Kunming with Fu Shiqi.
After that, they had a great time in Kunming for three days.
On the first day, the two first visited the Army Academy and then went to Cuihu Lake.
Here, they saw people releasing animals, and the man also had a video call with the master to chant sutras and pray for blessings.
Afterwards, the two came to the goldfish garden and quietly fed the goldfish, and even found a turtle.
Next, they took a boat to visit Dianchi Lake, but unfortunately, due to the wrong season, they could not see Siberian red-headed gulls. Finally, the two climbed Xishan Mountain to overlook the entire city of Kunming.
In fact, the two chose to go to Xishan mainly because they wanted to experience the feeling of climbing a mountain at night.
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window, waking up the two sleeping people.
After they washed up, they went out together to have breakfast.
Afterwards, they came to the famous Dounan Flower Market, which was filled with the fragrance of various flowers.
The two of them strolled in the sea of flowers, picking out the flowers they liked.
Fu Shiqi happily bought many beautiful flowers, and also carefully selected one for her agent and assistant as a gift and mailed it back.
Ji Xiao carefully recorded the names of her favorite flower species and planned to find flower farmers to buy the corresponding seeds or seedlings.
In the afternoon, the two also went to Guandu Ancient Town and Grand View Garden.
On the third day, they chose to sit down in a comfortable shop opposite Green Lake.
Here, they quietly savored the fragrance of tea, watched the passers-by outside the window, and felt the unique scenery under the hustle and bustle of summer. Just as Ji Xiao was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, she suddenly found a cute little squirrel on the big tree outside.
She pointed at the squirrel and said to Fu Shiqi excitedly: "Qiqi, look! There is a squirrel on the tree outside. It's so small."
Fu Shiqi looked in the direction Ji Xiao pointed, and sure enough, she saw a small and exquisite squirrel jumping lightly among the branches.
Its furry tail shakes from time to time, as if showing off its agility to people.
"It's so small, so cute." Fu Shiqi said with a faint smile on her lips.
I have to say that they both have very good eyesight. The squirrel was originally very small, and the color of its fur was very close to the color of the tree trunk. If one's observation ability or eyesight were slightly poor, one would not be able to spot it at all.
Ji Xiao took out her cell phone from her bag and prepared to take a picture of the squirrel.
However, when she raised her phone, the little guy seemed to sense that someone was watching it and instantly hid among the leaves.
"Oh, he ran away." Ji Xiao showed a look of regret on her face.
"It's okay. Maybe it will come out again later." Fu Shiqi comforted softly.
So they continued to drink tea leisurely, quietly enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment.
After a while, Ji Xiao suddenly asked, "Qi Qi, it's summer vacation now. There are so many people here. Why did you choose this time to take a vacation?"
"Well..." Fu Shiqi paused for a moment, then replied, "I've been working for a long time, and I need to leave some time for myself to relax. And I happened to see the status you posted, and I knew you also had time, so I came."
"So do you have any plans for the next period of time?" Ji Xiao took a sip of tea, looked at Fu Shiqi with inquiring eyes, and asked softly.
Fu Shiqi shook her head slightly, with a lazy and relaxed tone, and replied: "No, I originally planned to go to Dali to find a quiet place, have a good rest for two months, and then go back to work."
When Ji Xiao heard the news, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something interesting, and she said happily: "In that case, why don't we go to Dali today? It doesn't take too much time to take the high-speed rail. Maybe we can even go to Dali Ancient Town in the evening and experience the nightlife there."
Ji Xiao looked at Fu Shiqi happily, waiting for his response. After thinking for a moment, Fu Shiqi thought this was a good idea, so he nodded in agreement.
Ji Xiao immediately showed a satisfied smile, then looked at his watch and said, "However, it's almost noon now. We should find a place to have lunch first, and then go to the station to catch the bus."
After they finished lunch, Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi took their suitcases and took a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
Since they were both well-off and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they chose to buy business class tickets without hesitation.
After all, a comfortable environment is also a kind of enjoyment for traveling.
Over the past few days, the two of them have been traveling around and are exhausted both physically and mentally.
So, as soon as they entered the carriage, they quickly put their luggage away, closed their eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
The whole journey lasted more than two hours, but they were still immersed in a sweet dream until they were about to arrive at Dali Station, when they slowly woke up.
As the train slowly pulled into the platform, the two gradually woke up.
Ji Xiao stared at Fu Shiqi and said softly, "Qiqi, I think you'd better wear a mask." As she spoke, she took out two identical masks from her bag, handed one to Fu Shiqi, and quickly put on the other one herself.
Then, she picked up a white jade hairpin and casually tied up all her hair.
Fu Shiqi wore a simple white short-sleeved T-shirt today, paired with black casual pants and a pair of white sneakers, looking refreshing and comfortable.
Ji Xiao wore a homemade mint green natural silk suspender dress, the design of which cleverly showed off her graceful figure.
At the same time, she wore a emerald green belt around her waist, which further highlighted her slender waist.
She wore a soft silk outer shirt of the same color, embroidered shoes with thousand-layer soles, and a small and exquisite round handbag in her hand.
However, the only clothes and bag on Ji Xiao's body were made by herself. The jade belt on her waist was specially made for her by Li Xiangyi and had never been used.
Because she has hundreds of such waist chains, all of which were made by Li Xiangyi using scraps of materials. But even if they are scraps, they are of top quality.
In addition, the shoes on her feet were carefully sewn by her maids in the ancient plane, or made specifically for her by an embroiderer. There are hundreds of pairs of such shoes added up throughout the year.
Fortunately, the size of her feet has not changed no matter where she is in time and space, so she can wear these shoes.
However, the things Ji Xiao uses now were all bought by herself, and everything she could store in her space was top quality.
The gifts given to her by her ex-husband's friends or her children were all carefully collected and sorted out.
Finally, Ji Xiao looked at Fu Shiqi's clothes and thought for a while, then took out a neutral white sun-protective shirt from the suitcase and handed it to him, saying, "Put on a shirt. The ultraviolet rays here are stronger than at home and in Kunming. Even though it's already mid-afternoon, you still have to pay attention to protection. And remember to wear sunglasses."
"Okay, thank you." Fu Shiqi took the shirt that Ji Xiao handed to him and put it on.
After he took it, Ji Xiao packed up the items on her desk and put them into the suitcase.
After the car stopped, the two of them waited until most of the people had left before getting out of the car with their suitcases.
After leaving the station, Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi took a taxi and went directly to Yiyu Hotel. They booked a stand-alone hot spring villa room at the top of the hotel, which ensured privacy while offering beautiful views.
After the two arrived at the hotel, they checked in, took a short rest, washed up and changed into light clothes, and then they couldn't wait to go out and stroll around the Dali Ancient Town at night.
However, since there was a certain distance between the hotel and the ancient city, they rented a small electric scooter as a means of transportation, and then Ji Xiao rode the bike and took Fu Shiqi to the ancient city.
It was still early at this time, and the constant stream of tourists made the ancient town very lively. The shops on both sides of the street were full of goods and the lights were dazzling.
There were many tourists, some in pairs, some in groups of three or five, and some alone, but they were able to mingle with others. Everyone had a happy smile on their face, and they happily shuttled through the alleys. It seemed that nothing could affect their good mood.
Ji Xiao was also very happy, so she held Fu Shiqi's hand tightly and led him through the bustling crowd.
Then, relying on her keen sense of smell, she followed the fragrance in the air and brought Fu Shiqi to a Dai-style shop.
