Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

The girl painted very seriously, the brush in her hand dancing quickly on the canvas, and soon the outline of the sculpture gradually became clear.

Hannah couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, you draw so well, the lines are so smooth, and the colors are beautifully matched."

The girl raised her head and said with a smile: "Thank you, I was just drawing casually, mainly because this sculpture is so beautiful that I couldn't help but want to draw it."

Hannah asked curiously, "Are you a fine arts major? You look so professional in painting."

The girl nodded: "Yes, I am a student of the Academy of Fine Arts. Today I came here with my classmates to sketch and experience the integration of history, culture and art."

Lu Yong interjected: "This is a great idea. It can improve painting skills and help us understand history and culture."

The girl smiled and said, "Yes, cultural relics and sculptures like this not only have unique shapes and beauty, but also carry profound cultural connotations, which are very inspiring for our painting creation. If you are interested, you can also try to paint."

Hannah's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Okay, okay, Lu Yong, let's give it a try, maybe we can also draw good works."

Lu Yong hesitated: "I've never painted before, will it work?"

Hannah encouraged him, "It's okay. Just treat it as a try. The most important thing is to participate. And there are so many people around. Maybe you can ask them for advice."

Lu Yong was infected by Hannah's enthusiasm and nodded: "Okay, let's try it."

They found two open spaces, set up easels, picked up paintbrushes, and began to paint the sculptures.

Hannah painted very seriously, carefully drawing every stroke, and from time to time she looked up at the sculpture to adjust the details of the picture.

Lu Yong was a little flustered. The paintbrush in his hand was like a naughty child and would not obey him at all.

The lines he drew were crooked and the colors were messy. Looking at the horrible "work" on his canvas, he said in frustration: "Oh, it seems that I am really not good at painting. This painting is too ugly."

Hannah put down her paintbrush, walked over to Lu Yong, looked at his painting and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, it's already very good for your first time. You see, you still have the general outline of the dragon scale goblet, but the details need to be improved. Come, I'll teach you."

As she spoke, she picked up Lu Yong's paintbrush and gently sketched on his canvas, explaining as she painted: "The lines here should be smoother, and the color transition should be more natural..."

Under Hannah's patient guidance, Lu Yong gradually found the feeling and his brush became more obedient.

He modified his painting bit by bit according to Hannah's instructions, and the dragon scale goblet on the canvas gradually became vivid.

Some students around saw how serious they were and came over to give them some suggestions and opinions.

"You can add some shadows here to make the sculpture more three-dimensional." "The color gives it a metallic texture."...

With everyone's help, Lu Yong's paintings are becoming more and more impressive.

He said to Hannah excitedly, "Hannah, look, it seems to be getting better, thanks to everyone's help."

Hannah smiled and said, "Of course, many hands make light work. And you learn so quickly, you have a talent for painting."

The two of them painted for a long time and it was getting dark. Time passed really quickly when one was painting seriously.

Hannah and Lu Yong looked at the paintings in their hands. Although they were not as good as the works of professional students, they both felt extremely satisfied and proud.

"Today was really meaningful. Not only did I see such beautiful sculptures, but I also got to experience the joy of painting," Hannah said with emotion.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, and through this experience, I have a deeper understanding of cultural relics and culture."

At this time, melodious music sounded in the square. It turned out that the light show in the square had begun.

The colorful lights shine on the dragon scale goblet sculpture, flashing a mysterious light.

Hannah and Lu Yong were attracted by the beautiful scenery before them. They stood there quietly, looking up at the sculpture, immersed in this dreamlike atmosphere.

"Lu Yong, look, the dragon scale goblet under the light looks like a mysterious treasure from outer space. It's so dreamy!"

Hannah's eyes were bright and full of amazement, and she unconsciously grabbed Lu Yong's arm and shook it gently.

Lu Yong responded with a smile: "Yes, the combination of this light show and the sculpture is absolutely amazing. It feels like we have traveled to a fantasy world."

The two were immersed in this dreamlike beauty, and the tourists around them were exclaiming in admiration. Everyone was using their mobile phones to record this beautiful moment.

Hannah excitedly pulled Lu Yong and said, "Let's take more photos. We can't miss such a beautiful scene."

As she spoke, she struck various cute poses and asked Lu Yong to take pictures of her.

Lu Yong held his phone, looking for the angle and teasing, "Your poses are almost as good as those of a professional model, but you look good no matter how you shoot it." Hannah smiled even more brightly when she heard that, like a blooming sunflower.

After taking the photos, Hannah was still not satisfied. Suddenly, she looked at Lu Yong and said, "Lu Yong, we had so much fun today. Can you tell me where we are going to play tomorrow?"

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "I actually know a very good place called the Forget Worry Pool in Xishan, Taiyuan. I heard that the scenery there is very picturesque and very peaceful, and it can make people forget all their worries."

"How about we go there tomorrow?"

Hannah thought for a moment and said, "Okay, okay, Forget-Sorrow Pond. Just hearing the name sounds like a good place to relax the body and mind. Let's go to Forget-Sorrow Pond!"

The two talked as they drove back to the hotel, chatting and laughing along the way while planning tomorrow's itinerary.

As soon as the sun rose, the two packed up their things and drove to the Forget-Your-Sorrow Pool in Xishan, Taiyuan.

Along the way, Hannah looked at the scenery outside the window out of curiosity, and kept saying, "Lu Yong, look at the mountains over there, they are so green, and the air feels so fresh."

Lu Yong said: "When we get to Wangyou Pond, the air there is even fresher. The ecological environment in Xishan is particularly good, and the air quality is also high. When you get there, you can take a few deep breaths and feel the charm of nature."

Hannah looked at all this and felt particularly happy. She hummed a cheerful little tune, and Lu Yong also followed the rhythm and clapped his hands while driving. The car was filled with a warm and happy atmosphere.

Finally, they arrived at the Forget-Your-Sorrow Pool in Xishan, Taiyuan.

As soon as you get off the car, a fresh air hits you in your face, carrying with it the fragrance of soil and flowers, making you feel instantly refreshed.

The Forget-Your-Sorrow Pool is like a shining pearl, inlaid among the green mountains and clear waters.

The lake water is crystal clear and the sunlight shining on the water looks like a layer of fine gold.

Hannah couldn't wait to run to the lake, squatted down, gently touched the water with her hand, and shouted excitedly: "Lu Yong, this water is so cool and comfortable!"

Lu Yong walked up to her with a smile and said, "The water in this Forget-Your-Sorrows Pond is mountain spring water, very pure. Look, there are small fish in the lake."

Hannah looked in the direction of Lu Yong's finger, and sure enough, she saw groups of small fish swimming freely in the water. They gathered together for a while, and then scattered away, as if they were playing a game of hide-and-seek.

"Wow, these little fish are so cute. I want to feed them."

Hannah said as she looked around, trying to find something to feed the fish.

Lu Yong saw a stall selling fish food nearby, so he walked over and bought two bags of fish food.

He handed Hannah a bag of fish food and said, "Come on, let's feed the fish together."

Hannah took the fish food, carefully pinched a small handful and scattered it into the lake.

When the little fish saw the food, they immediately swarmed over and opened their mouths to grab the food, causing tiny splashes of water on the surface of the lake.

Hannah laughed happily and kept scattering fish food. Watching the little fish swimming happily, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Lu Yong, look at the way they fight for food. It's so funny. They feel like a group of naughty children." Hannah said while feeding the fish.

Lu Yong smiled and said: "Yes, these little lives in nature are always full of vitality and energy. Looking at them, I feel better."

After feeding the fish, the two took a slow walk along the path by the lake.

The path is lined with various flowers and plants, and the colorful flowers are in full bloom, which is a beautiful sight.

Hannah touched this flower, smelled that flower, and kept praising it: "These flowers are so beautiful. It feels like I have walked into a fairy tale world."

As they walked, they came to a small pavilion.

The pavilion is antique with flying eaves and brackets, and it looks particularly peaceful under the shade of green trees.

There were several old men playing chess leisurely in the pavilion, and some tourists were resting and chatting nearby.

Hannah took Lu Yong into the pavilion, found a place to sit down, and said, "Let's rest here for a while and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains."

Lu Yong nodded, and the two of them sat quietly in the pavilion, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Occasionally, a few water birds fly over the lake, making crisp calls, breaking the tranquility but adding a bit of vitality.

At this time, an old man nearby heard what they said and said with a smile: "Young man, this Forget-Your-Sorrow Pond is really a good place. When I was stressed out at work, I often came here to sit, look at the mountains and rivers, listen to the birds singing, and all my worries disappeared. Now is the time for you to enjoy life, so cherish it."

Hannah nodded quickly: "Grandpa, you are right, we will definitely cherish it. You come here often, you must be very familiar with it, can you tell us what other fun places are there in the Forget-Your-Sorrows Pond?"

The old man said excitedly, "There are too many. Go up along this path, there is an observation deck, standing on it you can have a panoramic view of the whole Forget-Your-Sorrows Pond; there is also a small woods over there, with many wild animals. But, be careful when you go to the small woods, don't get lost."

Hannah's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said to Lu Yong excitedly, "Lu Yong, let's go to the observation deck and then try our luck in the grove. Maybe we can pick some wild fruits." Lu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, let's go now."

The two said goodbye to the old man and walked along the path to the observation deck.

Along the way, they talked and laughed, and occasionally played with each other, just like two carefree children.

When they reached the observation deck, they stood in front of the railing and gazed into the distance.

The Forget-Your-Troubles Pond in front of you is like a beautiful painting. The lake, green mountains, green trees, flowers and plants complement each other, forming a beautiful landscape painting.

Hannah couldn't help but open her arms and shouted loudly, "Forget-Your-Pond, you are so beautiful!" Her voice echoed in the valley, as if the whole world heard her praise.

Lu Yong looked at Hannah's happy expression and his heart was filled with joy.

He took out his phone and silently took several photos of Hannah, saying, "Such a beautiful scenery, such a beautiful you, must be recorded."

Hannah ran over with a smile, looked at the photo and said, "Hey, you made me look like a fairy."

After coming down from the observation deck, they headed towards the grove.

The trees in the grove are lush and green, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.

Hannah moved carefully through the woods like an explorer, her eyes constantly looking around for traces of wild fruits.

"Lu Yong, look, there seem to be some red fruits over there. Could they be wild fruits?" Hannah suddenly said, pointing to a tree not far away.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and said, "Just go over and take a look and you'll know."

The two of them walked quickly to the tree and took a closer look. They turned out to be some unknown small red fruits, which were bright red and looked very tempting.

Hannah reached out to pick one to taste, but Lu Yong quickly stopped her: "Don't rush to eat it. Some wild fruits may be poisonous. We need to confirm it."

Hannah stuck out her tongue and said, "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. How can we confirm it?"

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "I remember that I can look at the shape and color of the fruit, and smell it. But I'm not sure, why don't we take a photo and check it online."

So Lu Yong took out his mobile phone, took a few photos of the little red fruit, and then started searching on the Internet.

After a while, he smiled and said, "I found out that this fruit seems to be edible, but you can't eat too much."

After hearing this, Hannah said excitedly, "Great, let's pick some and try them."

As she spoke, she reached out and picked a few fruits, put them in her mouth and tasted them. Her eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Wow, sour and sweet, quite delicious."

Lu Yong also picked one and put it in his mouth, nodded and said, "Well, it tastes really good."

Suddenly, "Lu Yong, look over there, there's a hornet's nest!"

Hannah's voice was filled with a hint of fear. She tightly grasped Lu Yong's hand and her body unconsciously shrank back.

Lu Yong looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a huge hornet's nest hanging on the thick tree, with several hornets buzzing around it, as if guarding their territory.

Lu Yong quickly pulled Hannah back a few steps and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We just need to stay away from them and don't disturb them."

Hannah nodded with lingering fear, but she couldn't help glancing at the hornet's nest from time to time: "This hornet's nest is so big, it will be troublesome if we get stung by a hornet. Let's get out of here quickly."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in another direction. But this hornet's nest also shows that the ecological environment here is good, so the hornets will make their home here."

Hannah pouted: "It's good, but it's a little scary. Let's go somewhere else and find something fun."

The two carefully walked around the tree and continued exploring in the grove.

Not long after walking, Hannah suddenly stopped and stared at a small flower on the ground.

The flower is lavender, with tender petals, and it stands out among the green grass.

"Lu Yong, look at this flower, it's so beautiful, I've never seen such a flower before."

Hannah squatted down, leaned in closely and sniffed it, with an intoxicated look on her face.

Lu Yong also squatted down and looked at the flower carefully. He said, "It is indeed very special. Maybe it is a species unique to this place. Let's take a picture of it as a souvenir."

Hannah nodded excitedly, took out her cell phone, adjusted the angle, and took several photos.

After taking the photos, she was reluctant to leave. She gently stroked the petals with her hands and said, "This flower is like a shy little girl, blooming here quietly without being disturbed."

Lu Yong smiled and said: "Yes, there are many such little beauties hidden in nature, waiting for us to discover."

The two continued to stroll in the grove, and before they knew it, the sun was almost setting.

Hannah stretched and said, "I feel a little tired. Let's find a place to rest."

Lu Yong looked around and found a large flat rock not far away, so he said, "There's a large rock over there. Let's go sit there for a while."

The two walked to the big rock and sat down. Lu Yong took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to Hannah: "Drink some water and replenish your water."

Hannah took the water, gulped down a few sips, and then said, "I saw a lot of beautiful scenery today and experienced the fun of picking wild fruits. It feels like all my worries are gone."

Lu Yong put his arm around Hannah's shoulders and said, "This is the charm of the Forget-Sorrow Pool. It can make people forget their sorrows."

After resting for a while, the light in the woods became dim.

Hannah said with some fear: "Lu Yong, let's get out quickly. It's getting darker in the woods. I'm a little scared."

Lu Yong stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "Okay, let's go out now. But before we go out, let's look for other fun things to do."

The two returned along the same path, and after walking a few steps, Hannah suddenly heard a "cooing" sound.

She stopped curiously and pricked up her ears to listen carefully: "Lu Yong, listen, what is that sound?"

Lu Yong also listened carefully and said, "It sounds like a bird, but the sound is a little special. Let's find out what kind of bird it is."

The two walked in the direction of the sound and found a bird with colorful feathers among the branches of a big tree.

The little bird was singing happily and flapping its wings from time to time, looking very cute.

Hannah said excitedly: "This little bird is so beautiful, its feathers are so colorful."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, this should be some kind of rare bird. We can just watch it here and don't scare it."

The two stood quietly under the tree, looking up at the birds.

The little bird didn't seem to be afraid of them and still chirped happily, as if showing them its beauty.

Hannah took out her cell phone and wanted to take a picture of the bird, but the bird seemed very smart and flew to another branch when she got a little closer.

Hannah said anxiously, "Oh, it flew away and I haven't taken the picture yet."

Lu Yong comforted her, "It's okay, let's wait a little longer, maybe it will fly back." Sure enough, after a while, the bird flew back to the original branch. Hannah quickly adjusted her phone, pressed the shutter, and finally took a picture of the bird.

She looked at the photo and said happily: "I took it, I took it. This little bird is so cute. I will set it as my phone wallpaper."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "You can't walk when you see cute animals. But this little bird really adds a lot of fun to our trip."

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the light in the woods was getting dimmer and dimmer.

Lu Yong looked at his watch and said, "Hannah, it's getting late. We should go back, otherwise it will be dark soon and the road will be difficult to walk on." Although Hannah was a little reluctant, she nodded and said, "Okay, we had so much fun today that I don't want to leave here."

The two packed up their things and returned along the same route.

Along the way, they were still immersed in the joy of the day, constantly discussing the scenery they saw and the small animals they encountered.

When they returned to the Forget-Your-Troubles Pond, they found that a light mist had risen over the lake.

Hannah took a deep breath and said, "The air here is so good. It feels like all the fatigue of the day is gone."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, we should come to places like this more often in the future to get close to nature and relax our bodies and minds."

They walked to the parking lot and got in the car.

Lu Yong started the engine and the car slowly drove away from the Forget-Your-Sorrow Pool.

The car was driving steadily on the mountain road, and night was gradually falling outside the window.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah lay on the bed, still immersed in the joy of the day and unable to fall asleep. (End of this chapter)
