Entertainment from Divorce

The early morning sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Su City Hotel, gently falling on Chen Ziyu and Tan Yue.

For this trip, they chose this poetic ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Ziyu turned over in a daze, and her cheek accidentally rubbed against Tan Yue's warm chest. Her eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.

Tan Yue seemed to be aware of the movement of the person next to him, and subconsciously tightened his arms, hugging Chen Ziyu tighter in his arms.

"Morning." His deep voice was hoarse from just waking up, and it was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Chen Ziyu raised his head and met those ink-deep eyes. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. "Morning." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and gently traced his eyebrows, his fingertips carrying the shyness and sweetness of a newlywed.

The room was filled with a lazy and warm atmosphere.

Chen Ziyu broke free from Tan Yue's arms and walked to the window barefoot.

She drew aside the gauze curtain, and the morning scene of Suzhou City was in full view.

The Jin Lake in the distance was sparkling, with a few small boats slowly paddling across the lake. The weeping willows on the shore swayed gently in the wind, like a vivid ink painting.

"So beautiful." Chen Ziyu couldn't help but sigh, and turned to look at Tan Yue who was still lying in bed, "Hurry up and get up, we have many places to go today!"

Tan Yue stood up with a smile, walked behind Chen Ziyu, hugged her from behind, and gently rested his chin on her shoulder, "I will listen to my wife."

After washing up, they went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast.

The restaurant is elegantly decorated, with a Jiangnan flavor everywhere.

Chen Ziyu was very excited when looking at the dazzling array of delicious food.

She took out some Suzhou-style dim sum, including green rice balls, plum blossom cakes, and crabapple cakes, as well as a bowl of Suzhou-style noodle soup, with red soup and white meat, garnished with green chopped green onions, and the aroma was overwhelming.

Tan Yue poured her a cup of warm soy milk and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke." He then reached out to wipe the crumbs from the corners of her mouth.

Chen Ziyu's cheeks turned slightly red and her heart was filled with sweetness.

After breakfast, the two walked out of the hotel hand in hand.

In June in Suzhou, the breeze blows on your face, bringing with it a faint scent of flowers.

They strolled along Jinhu Lake, feeling the tranquility and beauty of the city.

On the trail by the lake, there are people jogging in the morning, elderly people taking a stroll, and couples playing with their children. It is a peaceful scene.

Chen Ziyu stopped from time to time and took out his mobile phone to take pictures.

She took pictures of the shimmering lake, the blooming flowers, and Tan Yue beside her.

Tan Yue always cooperated by posing in various postures, making Chen Ziyu laugh.

Before they knew it, they arrived at Eslite Bookstore.

Eslite Bookstore is located on the shore of Jinhu Lake in Suzhou Industrial Park. It is a comprehensive cultural venue integrating reading, art, culture and business.

From a distance, the bookstore's exterior design is unique, full of modernity while retaining the charm of the Jiangnan water town.

As soon as he entered the bookstore, Chen Ziyu was attracted by the rich cultural atmosphere here.

In the spacious and bright space, the bookshelves are neatly arranged, and all kinds of books are on display.

The air is filled with the faint scent of books and coffee, and soft music flows in your ears.

Chen Ziyu couldn't wait to pull Tan Yue into the bookshelf room.

She walked between the bookshelves, her eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

In the literature area, she picked up a copy of Love in a Fallen City, gently opened it, and immersed herself in the world of words.

Tan Yue stood aside, looking at her quietly with a gentle smile on his lips.

"Look, this sentence is so well written." Chen Ziyu suddenly raised his head and handed the book to Tan Yue, "Among thousands of people, I met the person you met. In thousands of years, in the endless wilderness of time, not a step earlier, not a step later, just in time..."

Tan Yue took the book and read it carefully, "What a coincidence, we are the same." He reached out and gently scratched Chen Ziyu's nose, his eyes full of pampering.

The two of them strolled in the bookstore, occasionally stopping to look through books and occasionally whispering to each other about their thoughts.

Chen Ziyu also discovered some interesting cultural and creative products. She picked up a bookmark printed with the pattern of Suzhou gardens and couldn't put it down.

Upon seeing this, Tan Yue immediately took it to pay for it and gave it as a small gift to Chen Ziyu.

In the coffee area of ​​the bookstore, they ordered two cups of coffee and sat by the window.

Through the glass windows, you can see the beautiful scenery of Jinhu Lake.

The sunlight shines on the coffee cup, creating a hint of golden light.

Chen Ziyu took a sip of coffee and leaned on Tan Yue's shoulder. "It would be nice if I could be this leisurely every day."

Tan Yue put his arm around her shoulders and said, "We will have plenty of time to enjoy moments like this together in the future." He then gave her a light kiss on the forehead.

It was already noon when we came out of Eslite Bookstore.

The two tasted authentic Suzhou cuisine at a nearby restaurant.

The squirrel mandarin fish is beautifully shaped, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and has a sweet and sour taste;

The fried eel paste is fragrant and tender;
The stir-fried shrimps are as white as jade, fresh, tender and smooth.

Chen Ziyu enjoyed the meal so much that his mouth was filled with delicacy and he could not stop praising it.

Seeing her satisfied look, Tan Yue felt warm at heart. He picked up food for her from time to time and told her to eat slowly.

After lunch, the two took a short rest and then walked towards the Oriental Gate.

The Oriental Gate is a landmark building in Suzhou City. Due to its unique shape, it is affectionately called "Big Pants" by people.

From a distance, the building is magnificent, standing on the shore of Jinhu Lake, complementing the surrounding modern buildings.

Approaching the Oriental Gate, Chen Ziyu was shocked by its height and majesty.

"It's so spectacular!" She took out her cell phone and wanted to take a photo with Tan Yue.

Tan Yue naturally put his arm around her waist, and they both smiled brightly at the camera.

They walked around the Oriental Gate, admiring the unique design of the building and the beautiful scenery around it.

At the bottom of the Oriental Gate, there are many shopping malls and shops. The two went in to have a look and bought some souvenirs.

Chen Ziyu saw an exquisite necklace in a jewelry store, on which hung a small Jinhu-shaped pendant.

She tried it on, looked at it left and right in front of the mirror, and liked it very much.

Tan Yue paid for it directly and put it on her personally.

"It's really beautiful." Tan Yue looked at Chen Ziyu wearing the necklace, his eyes full of love, "Just like you."

Chen Ziyu's cheeks flushed and she hit him lightly, "You just like to talk nonsense." But she was very happy in her heart.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting.

The golden sunlight shines on the Golden Lake and the Oriental Gate, giving the entire scene a romantic touch.

Chen Ziyu and Tan Yue sat on a bench by the lake, snuggling together and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them.

"I'm so happy today." Chen Ziyu said softly, resting her head on Tan Yue's shoulder.

Tan Yue held her hand and said, "In the future, we will go to more places together and leave more beautiful memories." The afterglow of the sunset gradually dissipated, and the city lights slowly lit up.

Chen Ziyu and Tan Yue stood up and walked hand in hand along the lake.

On this day, they left behind sweet memories of their newlyweds in the poetic city of Suzhou.

In the future, there are countless beautiful things waiting for them to discover and experience.

The two walked along the trail. The June breeze brought the coolness of the lake and blew away some of the summer heat.

On both sides of the road, pink and white oleanders were in full bloom, and the petals fell into Chen Ziyu's hair.

Tan Yue reached out to take it off for her, but the moment his fingertips touched her hair, he somehow stopped his hand at the ends of her hair and gently stroked it twice.

Chen Ziyu seemed to realize something and turned his head to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Tan Yue took back his hand, his ears reddening, "I just think you look particularly good today."

His words were not a compliment. The light blue dress made Chen Ziyu's skin look as white as snow. The necklace around her neck swayed gently with her steps, emitting a warm light under the street light.

The Golden Lake reveals its full appearance, and the sparkling surface of the lake looks like it is covered with gold fragments.

The Ferris wheel in the distance is turning slowly, and the colorful cabins are particularly eye-catching in the sunset.

Chen Ziyu let go of Tan Yue's hand, ran to the lake like a happy butterfly, bent down, picked up a smooth pebble, and threw it hard into the lake.

The stone jumped a few times on the water, causing ripples.

"Look! I can skip stones on the water!" She turned around, her eyes sparkling, and the smile on her lips was brighter than the sun.

Tan Yue took out his cell phone and quietly recorded the scene.

In the camera, Chen Ziyu's skirt was blown up by the wind, her hair was messy but could not hide her agility. Behind her was the vast lake and continuous buildings, forming a beautiful picture.

"Come here!" Chen Ziyu waved at him, "Let's go to the bridge over there and take a look."

The two strolled along the lake, stopping from time to time to admire the scenery.

When passing by a reed bush, a few egrets were startled. Their white wings swept across the water, leaving a trail of ripples behind them.

Chen Ziyu pointed to the sky excitedly, "Tan Yue, look, it's 'a line of egrets flying in the blue sky'!"

Tan Yue nodded in agreement, "But the poem is about Western Shu, and this is Su City."

"You just ruin the mood." Chen Ziyu glared at him in reproach, but when he put his arm around her shoulders, she quietly leaned into his arms.

When he reached an arched stone bridge, Chen Ziyu suddenly stopped.

The bridge is engraved with quaint patterns, and the bridge arch is reflected in the water, contrasting with the scenery of the lake.

"Let's take a photo here." She took out her phone and handed it to Tan Yue, "I want to take a photo of the back, including the lake and the bridge."

Tan Yue took the phone and watched Chen Ziyu posing on the bridge.

She turned her back to the camera with her arms open as if she wanted to embrace the entire lake.

The setting sun gave her a golden edge, and her hair fluttered gently in the wind.

Tan Yue suddenly felt that this moment was worth cherishing forever.

"Are you done taking the photos?" Chen Ziyu turned around and trotted over. "Let me see!" She moved closer to Tan Yue, her warm breath sweeping across his neck.

The scenery in the photo was beautiful, but Tan Yue's gaze unconsciously fell on Chen Ziyu - the outline of her profile, the flying hair, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth were more moving than any other scenery.

"The photo is great!" Chen Ziyu nodded with satisfaction, "Let me take the photo for you!" She took the phone and directed Tan Yue to stand in the middle of the bridge, "Put your hands in your pockets, and look up, look into the distance..."

Just as Tan Yue posed, Chen Ziyu suddenly put down his phone and trotted over to him.

"Take it like this." She stood on tiptoe, leaned her head on Tan Yue's shoulder, and took a selfie with her phone in one hand.

In the camera, the two people's smiles overlap, with the sparkling lake and the Ferris wheel in the distance behind them. The picture is warm and sweet.

Continuing forward, they found a beach.

The fine white sand is soft to step on. Several children are building sand castles, and their parents are sitting under parasols nearby and chatting.

Chen Ziyu took off her high heels, held them in her hands, and walked barefoot on the beach.

The sand seeps out from between my toes, making me feel itchy.

"Tan Yue, come quickly!" She waved at him, "It's so comfortable to walk barefoot!"

Tan Yue hesitated, "I'm wearing leather shoes."

"Take it off!" Chen Ziyu squatted down and untied his shoelaces without saying a word. "It's a rare opportunity here, don't be so conservative." When she looked up, her eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

Tan Yue smiled helplessly yet dotingly, took off his leather shoes and socks, and walked on the beach with Chen Ziyu.

I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after walking a few steps, I found the feeling wonderful and relaxing.

"Look!" Chen Ziyu suddenly pointed to the distance, "Someone is taking wedding photos over there!"

Not far away by the lake, a newlywed couple was posing under the guidance of the photographer.

The bride wore a white wedding dress and the groom wore a neat suit, and both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Chen Ziyu watched intently, his eyes full of longing.

Tan Yue noticed her gaze and gently held her hand, "Let's take a set of photos as well, just as a honeymoon photo."

Chen Ziyu turned his head, his eyes sparkling with surprise, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Tan Yue put her hand to his lips and kissed it gently, "I'll find a good photographer when I get back and take pictures in more beautiful places."

The sun gradually sets and the sky is dyed orange.

Chen Ziyu and Tan Yue sat on a bench by the lake, watching the afterglow of the setting sun shine on the lake, dyeing the water golden.

The Ferris wheel in the distance lit up with colorful lights, which were reflected in the water, like a dream.

"I'm so happy today." Chen Ziyu leaned on Tan Yue's shoulder and said softly, "Tan Yue, I love you."

Tan Yue put his arm around her shoulders and rested his chin on top of her head. "Me too." He paused and added, "Thank you for being willing to travel with me to so many places and leave so many memories."

Chen Ziyu reached out and played with the buttons of his shirt. "In the future, we will go to more places and see more scenery. Maybe we can bring the children with us."

"Okay, let's take her with us to experience the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland." Tan Yue responded, "As long as you are with us, we can go anywhere."

As night falls, the lights of Jinhu Lake light up one after another.

Chen Ziyu and Tan Yue stood up and walked back, holding hands tightly.

The road we came from was now illuminated by street lights and stretched out under our feet.

Their shadows stretched very long on the ground and gradually merged into the night.

On this day, they left countless beautiful memories by the Golden Lake.

In the days to come, there will be more beautiful scenery waiting for them to discover, and more stories waiting for them to write.

They walked back to the hotel together and prepared to drive to their next destination.

Taking advantage of the night, you can slowly enjoy the night view of the Jiangnan water town on the road. Just thinking about it is a leisurely and pleasant experience. (End of this chapter)
