Chapter 44 Trip to Lijiang!

"China Eastern Airlines MU9726 to Lijiang is about to start ticket checking. Passengers boarding please check in in time!"

After listening to the announcement from the airport, Su Chen slowly stood up from the VIP lounge. With his previous experience in the imperial capital, he was familiar with the place.

After chatting with Pei Rang and Ike yesterday, Su Chen, who had nothing to do, came up with an idea.

Come on a trip that just walks away!

There were too many places he wanted to go in the past, and his tight financial situation limited his dreams, so he buried all his thoughts in his heart.

But now it’s different. Su Chen has money and wants to go to the places he wanted to go before.

The first stop Su Chen chose was Lijiang! As for the reason, it was because he wanted to see what the city of romance was like.

Ahem, it’s definitely not that Su Chen wants to marry Sese, he just simply wants to fulfill his childhood dream of traveling.

It takes about four hours to fly from Shanghai to Lijiang.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Su Chen came out of Lijiang Sanyi Airport.

Since it was a spontaneous trip, he didn't make any travel plans. The only thing he was thankful for was that he booked a homestay in the ancient town, which even included airport pick-up and drop-off service!
As soon as I walked out of the airport gate, I saw a young man in his thirties holding a sign and looking around, and Su Chen's name was clearly printed on the sign.

"Hello, I'm Su Chen!" Su Chen walked towards the other party while pulling the suitcase.

When he heard it was Boss Su Chen, he enthusiastically took the suitcase from him and said, "Hello, I'm the owner of the B&B, Yu Feng!"

After hearing the man's self-introduction, Su Chen was a little surprised. Are homestays so competitive nowadays that the owner even comes to pick people up in person?

The car that came to pick them up was a business car, but Su Chen didn't recognize what brand it was.

"Boss Yu's accent sounds like he's from the Northeast." Su Chen asked curiously.

"That's right~ I'm from the Ice City in Northeast China. I've been in Lijiang for several years! Brother Su's accent sounds like that of Sichuan and Chongqing, right?"

"Hmm~ Foggy City! Boss Yu, don't all you Northeasterners go to Sanya? Why are you thinking of opening a B&B in Lijiang?"

“Lijiang is a place worth remembering!”

Yu Feng's face was full of melancholy when he said this. Perhaps there was some touching love story here.

Sanyi Airport is about 30 kilometers away from Lijiang Ancient Town, and it takes about 40 minutes to drive there.

The two had a very pleasant chat along the way, especially when Yu Feng introduced to him what was worth seeing in Lijiang and what he should be careful about to avoid being cheated.

"Moyin Inn!"

After taking a look at the sign of the inn, Su Chen walked in with his luggage.

The entire inn is a single-family building. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large courtyard, which gives you the feeling of a quadrangle. Various beautiful flowers are planted in the courtyard, giving people a particularly warm feeling.

The entire inn is made of wood and is divided into two floors, and Su Chen's room is located on the second floor.

Su Chen had just finished admiring the beautiful scenery in the courtyard when Yu Feng, who had parked his car, strode in.

"Brother Su, I'll take you to see the room first. I'll definitely satisfy you!"

Looking at Boss Yu who looked confident, Su Chen also felt a little bit expectant.

There are only four rooms on the second floor, and Su Chen's room is located at the end.

As soon as he walked in and looked at the wide-open window, Su Chen was completely dumbfounded.

You can see most of Lijiang Ancient Town from the window, and you can enjoy the night view of the ancient town even when lying in bed at night.

"Boss Yu, I am quite satisfied with this room!" "As long as you are satisfied, brother Su, you must be tired from all the journey, take a good rest, Lijiang is the most fun at night!" After saying that, Boss Yu closed the door and left.

Su Chen had been on the plane for several hours and was a little tired, so he simply took a shower and lay down on the bed.

As night falls, the lights come on.

The lights in Lijiang at night are bright and colorful, rendering the entire ancient town like a fairy tale world. Su Chen, who was lying on the windowsill, was fascinated by the scene for a moment.

“No wonder so many people want to come to Lijiang. I would also like to see more of such a beautiful night view!”

After a brief sigh, Su Chen left the B&B.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and the entire ancient town was already crowded with people, much more lively than during the day.

Walking on the uneven stone road, Su Chen felt that his eyes were almost not enough.

"It really is worthy of being called the city of romance. There are so many beauties here."

Su Chen walked for about five or six minutes and had already seen no less than a hundred beauties, dressed in various styles, some beautiful and enchanting, some simple and elegant, some sexy and fashionable.

His eyes were almost dazzled by what he saw.

What attracted Su Chen's attention the most were the tourists wearing ethnic costumes. After simple makeup by the merchants and matched with the special costumes of Lijiang, the beauty of them was indescribable.

After walking around, Su Chen found a pub that looked pretty good and sat down in an empty seat by the window.

As soon as he sat down, a waiter came over with a menu. What surprised Su Chen was that the prices here were not cheap. Some prices were almost the same as those in Shanghai.

I casually ordered a few bottles of low-alcohol fruit wine and two plates of side dishes.

The pub has a relaxed style, with a small stage in the middle. The pub's resident singer is tuning his guitar, and it seems that he is about to start a performance.

As the prelude of the music sounded, a faint melancholy spread in the tavern.

"Let me take one more look at you, from south to north!"

“It’s like being blinded by the Fifth Ring Road!”

"Please tell me about that day again!"

"The girl holding the box, and the man wiping his sweat!"

Su Chen also began to hum softly.

The tavern, resident singers, music, and tourists seemed to blend perfectly together at this moment, and everyone closed their eyes slightly and enjoyed the resonance brought by the music.

The song ended, the tavern returned to its bustle, and Su Chen finished the two bottles of wine in his hand.

The resident singer of the tavern sang several more songs, some of which were about longing, some about happiness, making people hum along unconsciously, as if they were the ones being sung.

Su Chen didn't meet the beautiful lady, but he met two aunts.

She looks to be around 40 years old, and is dressed quite flashily, with long straight hair and sexy clothes. Even if you look at her from behind, you would think she is a great beauty.

Right from the start, she wanted to invite Su Chen to their place to drink and chat.

After politely declining their invitation, Su Chen was no longer interested in drinking and listening to music.

What he wants is the "good things" of youth, not the love of his aunt!
After "escaping" from the tavern, Su Chen strolled through the streets of the ancient town again. After what happened just now, Su Chen's enthusiasm was greatly dampened.

I bought a lot of snacks along the way and ate a lot of food.

It’s a pity that Su Chen has never had the “romantic encounter” he has been dreaming of!
