In the courtyard in front of Wufeng Xianguan, five Taihu stones are like five immortals, each with different shapes.

Chen Ziyu ran over excitedly and touched the holes on the stone with his hand: "So this is the legendary Taihu stone, it really is 'thin, wrinkled, leaky, and transparent'!"

Tan Yue looked at her childish behavior and couldn't help laughing: "Be careful not to get scratched."

As he said that, he took out a wet wipe from his backpack and handed it to her.

Chen Ziyu took the wet wipes, and her fingertips accidentally touched his hand, and her face turned red.

She lowered her head and wiped her hands, her heart beating like a deer.

Tan Yue looked at her reddened ears, his throat tightened, and he turned his head away to look at the ancient Jiaoketing Pavilion in the distance.

When you walk to the central garden, a pool of clear water comes into view.

In the Green Shade Pavilion by the pool, several elderly people were playing Pingtan.

Chen Ziyu was so fascinated by the sound of the pipa and the soft Wu dialect that he sat down on the stone bench unconsciously.

Tan Yue sat down next to her. There was a fist's distance between them, but they could clearly feel each other's breath.

"So this is what it feels like to listen to Pingtan in such an environment," Chen Ziyu said softly, "It's as if time has slowed down."

Tan Yue turned to look at her, the twilight cast a soft light on her profile, "Actually..." He swallowed the words back and lowered his head to stir the bottle of mineral water in his hand.

After passing the pool, the two came to the famous "Guanyun Peak".

This is the largest piece of Taihu stone in the Jiangnan gardens. It is about nine meters high and exquisitely carved.

Chen Ziyu looked up and couldn't help but sigh: "How did the ancients transport such a large stone?"

"It is said that this stone is a relic of the 'Huashi Gang' during the Song Dynasty, and it was brought to the Liuyuan Garden after many twists and turns," Tan Yue explained. "It also has a legend."

Just then, light rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.

Chen Ziyu frantically searched for the umbrella in her backpack. Tan Yue had already taken off his coat and put it over her head: "Don't get wet."

The two hid in the nearby Qingfeng Pool Pavilion.

The rain drifted obliquely into the window frame, wetting the wooden floor.

Chen Ziyu sat by the window with his knees hugged, looking at the Liuyuan Garden in the rain, which had a unique charm.

"Listen!" Chen Ziyu suddenly turned around, his eyes sparkling, "Does the sound of rain hitting the banana leaves sound like a song?"

Tan Yue looked at her excited expression and walked over to sit beside her. "It is indeed very similar. Every sound in Liuyuan Garden is a poem."

The rain gradually stopped and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the clouds.

The two walked towards the exit along the corridor, where stone carvings of calligraphy from past dynasties were embedded on the walls.

Chen Ziyu stopped to admire her. Tan Yue stood behind her, looking at her serious profile.

The Liuyuan Garden is quiet and gentle in the twilight, and the lanterns under the corridor are lit one by one.

Chen Ziyu leaned on Tan Yue's shoulder, listened to him talk about the historical changes of Liuyuan Garden, and felt his warm breath.

It turns out that the most beautiful scenery is not the pavilions and towers in front of you, but the one you love who is always by your side.

When I walked out of Liuyuan Garden, the lights were just coming on.

Chen Ziyu looked up at the rising moon in the sky and suddenly remembered the plaque he saw when he entered the door: "Forever remain between heaven and earth."

Perhaps, the love between them will become more beautiful with the passage of time, just like this ancient garden.

Tan Yue took her hand and asked softly, "Where do you want to go next?"

Chen Ziyu smiled and shook his head: "Anywhere is fine, as long as I'm with you."

The moonlight sprinkled on their clasped hands, casting a gentle halo on this love.

……

In the early morning, the sunlight was like a golden veil, gently filtering through the gaps in the hotel's curtains and falling on the young couple snuggling together on the big bed.

Chen Ziyu woke up slowly, her eyes were still a little blurry and her eyelashes were trembling slightly.

Tan Yue beside him was still sleeping, his breathing even and steady. The sunlight outlined his chiseled profile, high nose bridge, and slightly upturned corners of his mouth, which made Chen Ziyu stare at him in fascination.

Chen Ziyu moved gently, not wanting to wake Tan Yue, but Tan Yue was still sensitive to the movement and slowly opened his eyes. There was still a little sleepiness in his eyes, but when he saw Chen Ziyu, his eyes instantly became gentle as water, and the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a doting smile.

Tan Yue whispered, "Good morning, baby, did you sleep well?"

Chen Ziyu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she responded softly, "Good morning, you slept so well."

The two of them just looked at each other quietly, as if time had stopped for them, and the air was filled with a sweet scent.

After a while, Chen Ziyu sat up, stretched, and said, "My stomach is growling, let's go have breakfast." Tan Yue also sat up, rubbed Chen Ziyu's hair, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two got up, washed, and packed up simply, then walked hand in hand to the hotel restaurant.

There were already quite a few people enjoying breakfast in the restaurant, and they found a seat by the window.

The table was filled with rich food, including golden and crispy fried dough sticks, soft and sweet bean paste buns, steaming white porridge, and exquisite snacks.

Chen Ziyu looked at these delicacies with a gleam in his eyes. He couldn't wait to pick up a fried dough stick, took a bite, and said with satisfaction: "Wow, this fried dough stick smells so good. I haven't eaten such authentic ones in a long time."

Tan Yue couldn't help laughing when he saw Chen Ziyu's cute appearance. He also picked up a bean paste bun and started eating it.

While eating breakfast, the two chatted and laughed, shared each other's feelings and thoughts, and enjoyed this warm and beautiful time.

After breakfast, they walked out of the hotel.

The sky outside is exceptionally blue, the sun is shining, and the breeze gently caresses your face, making you feel very comfortable.

Tan Yue took out his cell phone and looked up the route to the Suzhou Museum. He found that he could get there directly by bus, so he took Chen Ziyu's hand and walked towards the bus stop.

The bus stop was not far from the hotel and they arrived there in no time.

There were already a few people waiting for the bus on the platform. Chen Ziyu looked around curiously. This was their first time in Su City. They hadn't taken the bus together for a long time, and they didn't seem to have any memory of taking the bus together.

Everything here is new to me.

Tan Yue held Chen Ziyu's hand tightly, as if to give her warmth and a sense of security.

After a while, the bus slowly drove up. They got on the bus, inserted their coins, and found a seat by the window.

The bus started slowly. Chen Ziyu looked at the street scene outside the window that was receding, his heart full of anticipation.

There are shops next to each other on the street, including quaint teahouses, flower shops filled with fresh flowers, and stalls selling various special snacks.

Pedestrians come and go on the road, some are in a hurry, some are leisurely, and everyone has his or her own story.

Tan Yue gently put his arm around Chen Ziyu's shoulders, and Chen Ziyu leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth.

Tan Yue whispered in Chen Ziyu's ear: "The Suzhou Museum is very famous. It houses many precious cultural relics. Let's go and have a good look and feel the charm of history."

Chen Ziyu nodded and said excitedly, "Okay, I've wanted to go to the museum for a long time, and this time I finally have the chance."

The bus shuttled through the city streets, and about half an hour later, they arrived at the Suzhou Museum Station.

The two got out of the car and saw the unique architecture of Suzhou Museum from afar.

The museum's architectural style combines modern and traditional elements, with white walls, black roofs, and simple and smooth lines, which complement the surrounding environment.

Chen Ziyu was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this museum is so beautiful, it's like a work of art." Looking at Chen Ziyu's surprised expression, Tan Yue felt very satisfied in his heart. He took Chen Ziyu's hand and walked towards the museum.

They came to the entrance of the museum, lined up to get tickets, and then entered the museum.

As soon as he entered the museum, Chen Ziyu was infected by the strong historical atmosphere inside.

The hall was filled with various exquisite cultural relics, including ancient bronzes, delicate ceramics, and exquisite calligraphy and painting works. They walked slowly, admiring each cultural relic. Tan Yue explained the historical background and cultural connotation of the cultural relics to Chen Ziyu from time to time. Chen Ziyu listened with great interest and exclaimed from time to time.

During the visit, they saw a particularly beautiful landscape painting.

The mountains and rivers in the painting are lifelike, as if they can make people feel the tranquility and beauty of nature.

Chen Ziyu stood in front of the painting for a long time, unwilling to leave. She carefully appreciated every detail in the painting and felt the painter's brushstrokes and emotions.

Tan Yue also stood quietly beside her, enjoying the view with her.

After a while, Chen Ziyu turned around and looked at Tan Yue with a gleam in his eyes, and said, "This painting is so beautiful. I feel like I have walked into the painting."

Tan Yue gently held Chen Ziyu's hand and said with a smile: "As long as you like it, I will take you to see more beautiful scenery in the future."

After hearing this, Chen Ziyu was deeply moved. She leaned on Tan Yue's shoulder, enjoying the happiness of this moment.

They continued to visit the museum and before they knew it, it was noon.

Chen Ziyu's stomach began to growl. She smiled sheepishly and said to Tan Yue, "I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

Tan Yue touched Chen Ziyu's head and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go eat the specialties of Su City. I heard there's a very good restaurant nearby. The squirrel mandarin fish and fried eel paste there are particularly famous. Let's go and try them."

Chen Ziyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "Okay, okay, I've wanted to eat it for a long time."

So they left the museum and followed the navigation on their phones, heading towards the restaurant.

Along the way, they held hands and admired the street scenes of Suzhou.

The willow trees on the street swayed in the wind, the river water sparkled, and a few small boats slowly passed by on the river, like a beautiful painting of the Jiangnan water town.

It didn't take long for them to find the restaurant.

The restaurant's frontage isn't big, but it's packed with people and very lively.

They found an empty seat and sat down. The waiter came over enthusiastically and handed them the menu.

Tan Yue handed the menu to Chen Ziyu and asked her to order.

Chen Ziyu looked at the various delicacies on the menu and was a little hesitant. Every dish looked very tempting.

Finally, at Tan Yue's suggestion, they ordered squirrel mandarin fish, fried eel paste, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and a Suzhou-style pastry.

After a while, the dishes were served one after another.

The first thing to come up was the squirrel mandarin fish, which was fried until golden and crispy, and topped with a sweet and sour sauce. The shape of the fish was like a squirrel, lifelike.

Chen Ziyu looked at the dish and couldn't help but be amazed by its appearance. She picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. The fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so delicious. This is the most delicious squirrel mandarin fish I have ever eaten."

Tan Yue looked at Chen Ziyu eating happily and laughed. He also picked up a piece of fish and started eating. He nodded and said, "It's really good. The cooking skills of this restaurant are really well-deserved."

Then, the fried eel paste was served on the table.

The eel paste is drizzled with hot oil and sprinkled with some pepper and chopped green onions, giving it a fragrant aroma.

Chen Ziyu scooped a spoonful of eel paste and put it into her mouth. The eel meat was tender, smooth and had a rich flavor, which made her unable to stop eating.

Tan Yue looked at Chen Ziyu eating voraciously and said with a smile, "Eat slowly, don't choke, there are still many dishes."

Chen Ziyu raised his head and looked at Tan Yue with a happy smile on his face. He said, "It's so delicious, I really can't help it."

While eating delicious food, they shared their feelings and thoughts with each other.

In this cozy little restaurant, they enjoyed the joy brought by delicious food and the happy time of each other's company.

After dinner, they sat in the restaurant for a while, rested, and then got up and left.

When I walked out of the restaurant, the sun was still shining brightly.

The afternoon sun became increasingly gentle, and Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu walked hand in hand on the streets of Suzhou.

The breeze gently ruffled Chen Ziyu's hair.

Tan Yue raised his hand and tucked the messy hair behind her ears. His fingertips inadvertently brushed across her warm cheek, and Chen Ziyu's face flushed instantly.

"Next, let's take the subway to Qilitang. I heard that the night view there is unique." Tan Yue said, taking out the subway map he had checked in advance from his backpack.

The two walked toward the subway station along the sign. The bright lights and the rushing crowds in the station hall intertwined into a modern urban picture. In front of the ticket vending machine, Chen Ziyu stood on tiptoe and looked at the screen curiously, while Tan Yue skillfully selected the station and inserted the coin to get the ticket. After getting the light blue subway card, he shook the card and said to Chen Ziyu with a smile: "Let's go, our Qilitang trip is about to begin."

With a "ding dong" sound, the subway slowly entered the station.

The door opened, and although there were quite a few people in the car, there were still empty seats.

Chen Ziyu and Tan Yue also hadn't taken the subway for a long time, but they still felt fresh about it.

They sat side by side, Chen Ziyu gently leaned his head on Tan Yue's shoulder, listening to the regular roar of the subway, watching the dark tunnel passing by quickly outside the window, his heart full of anticipation. (End of this chapter)
