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

Early in the morning, Lu Yong and Hannah slept soundly. After a while, Lu Yong woke up first. He groggily reached for his phone, glanced at the time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something incredibly good.

He sat up excitedly, gently nudged Hannah beside him, his voice brimming with undisguised joy: "Hannah, Hannah, wake up! We're flying straight to Xiamen today!"

Hannah was having a sweet dream when Lu Yong pushed her, and she was still a little dazed.

She rubbed her eyes, looking sleepily at Lu Yong, and mumbled, "Xiamen? Why so suddenly?"

Lu Yong pulled Hannah into his arms and said with a smile, "I booked the plane tickets last night, thinking of giving you a surprise. Xiamen has always been a very romantic city, let's go there and have a good time for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Hannah immediately perked up, sitting up abruptly in bed with her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Really? That's wonderful! I've never been to Xiamen before."

The two quickly got up and began packing their luggage.

Lu Yong worked quickly, folding the clothes one by one and putting them into the suitcase. He would occasionally turn back to look at Hannah and say with a smile, "Hannah, slow down, don't forget anything."

Hannah, like a mischievous little girl, hummed a little tune as she tidied up, extremely happy, which made Lu Yong laugh out loud.

After packing their luggage, they checked out of the hotel and dragged their suitcases out.

The air outside was exceptionally fresh, and the sunshine was exceptionally bright, as if even the heavens were blessing their trip.

Upon arriving at the airport, Lu Yong skillfully guided Hannah through the check-in and security procedures.

In the waiting hall, Hannah was like a curious child, looking around with a sense of wonder at everything.

She grabbed Lu Yong's hand and asked excitedly, "Lu Yong, what do you think Xiamen will be like? Will there be any delicious seafood?"

Lu Yong looked at her with affection and said, "Of course! Xiamen is a seafood paradise. When we get there, I'll take you to eat your fill."

Finally, the boarding announcement came over the loudspeaker.

The two held hands and boarded the plane with the crowd.

The plane slowly took off, and the scenery outside the window grew smaller and smaller until it finally turned into a sea of ​​clouds.

Hannah leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder and whispered, "Lu Yong, I'm so looking forward to this trip."

Lu Yong patted her hand gently and said, "Don't worry, Hannah, I'll make sure you have a great time on this trip."

After several hours of flight, the plane finally landed at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport.

As the two stepped out of the airport, a warm breeze carrying the scent of the sea greeted them.

Hannah took a deep breath and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, this is the taste of Xiamen!"

They had booked a hotel online in advance, which was located not far from the beach.

After arriving at the hotel by taxi and checking in, the two put their luggage in the room, rested briefly, and then couldn't wait to go out.

The hotel is located near a bustling street lined with all sorts of shops, selling local snacks, souvenirs, and clothes.

Hannah wandered between the shops, occasionally picking up a small accessory and holding it up against herself, then turning back to Lu Yong and asking, "Does it look good?"

Lu Yong always smiled and nodded, saying, "You look good in anything."

As they walked, they came to a seafood stall.

The food stalls were bustling with activity, filled with the enticing aroma of various seafood.

Hannah's eyes lit up, and she took Lu Yong's hand, saying, "Lu Yong, let's eat here. It smells so good!"

Lu Yong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two found a seat and sat down, and the waiter warmly handed them the menu.

Hannah stared at the menu, her eyes wide, muttering, "This looks delicious, and that looks good too."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Don't rush, take your time, let's all try some."

Finally, they ordered a steamed grouper, a boiled shrimp, a stir-fried clam, and an oyster omelet.

After a while, all the dishes were served.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Hannah couldn't help but swallow and say, "Wow, it looks so tempting."

She picked up a shrimp, peeled off the shell, put it in her mouth, and her eyes immediately narrowed into slits as she said with satisfaction, "It's so delicious! This shrimp is so fresh!"

Looking at her adorable appearance, Lu Yong smiled and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Just as they were enjoying their meal, they suddenly heard an argument coming from the next table.

It turned out that a tourist and the owner had a dispute over the price. The tourist felt the seafood was too expensive, while the owner insisted that his price was reasonable.

The two argued more and more fiercely, attracting the attention of those around them.

Hannah frowned and whispered to Lu Yong, "Why are these two like this? We're here to have fun, why are they arguing over such a small thing?"

Lu Yong nodded and said, "Yes, you should be in a good mood when you're out having fun. Let's ignore them and keep eating."

However, the argument grew louder and louder, affecting their mood for eating.

Lu Yong couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up, walked between the tourists and the restaurant owner, and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, stop arguing. We're here to have fun, and this arguing isn't good. Boss, could you give this tourist a discount so everyone can have a good time?"

The shop owner glanced at Lu Yong and said somewhat reluctantly, "My price is already very reasonable. If I offer any more discounts, I'll lose money."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Boss, you see, everyone here is a tourist in Xiamen and wants to leave a good impression. If you give in a little, this tourist will be happy, and maybe he will recommend more customers to you in the future."

The tourist felt a little embarrassed after hearing Lu Yong's words and said, "Never mind, I don't want to ruin my mood over such a small amount of money. Boss, can you give me a discount? I won't argue about it."

The shop owner thought for a moment and said, "Alright, for this guy's sake, I'll give you a 10% discount."

The tourist smiled and said, "Thank you, boss, and thank you to this guy too."

The storm was thus calmed down.

People around Lu Yong looked at him with admiration. Hannah looked at him with admiration and said, "Lu Yong, you are so amazing. Solving problems is so easy for you."

Lu Yong returned to his seat and said with a smile, "It's nothing. When you're traveling, everyone should be understanding of each other."

After finishing their meal, the two continued to stroll around the neighborhood.

As night fell, the streetlights came on, adding a romantic touch to the city.

They walked hand in hand along the beach, listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the sea breeze.

Hannah leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder and whispered, "Lu Yong, I'm so happy today. I don't know what I would have done during dinner if it weren't for you."

Lu Yong gently kissed her forehead and said, "As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. No matter what happens in the future, I'll always be there to protect you."

Suddenly, as if she had discovered something new, Hannah pointed ahead and said, "Lu Yong, look, there seems to be a performance over there."

The two looked in the direction Hannah pointed and saw a group of people performing in an open space ahead.

There were singers, dancers, and acrobats, and the area was surrounded by spectators, with bursts of applause and cheers coming from time to time.

Hannah excitedly grabbed Lu Yong's hand and said, "Let's go take a look!"

They squeezed through the crowd and found a spot to stand. On the stage, a young man was performing magic.

The playing cards in his hand seemed to come alive, changing patterns in his movements. Hannah watched in amazement, clapping and cheering incessantly.

After the performance, Hannah was still full of enthusiasm and said to Lu Yong, "Lu Yong, that magic trick was amazing! How did he do it?"

Lu Yong laughed and said, "I don't know either, but that's the charm of magic. Let's go see a more amazing magic show when we have the chance in the future."

After leaving the performance venue, the two took a walk along the beach.

By this time, the beach was becoming increasingly deserted, with only the sound of waves lapping against the sand.

Hannah took off her shoes and stepped onto the beach, feeling the fine sand flowing between her toes.

She ran around excitedly, like a little child.

Lu Yong followed behind her, smiling, and said, "Slow down, don't fall."

Hannah turned around and made a face at Lu Yong, saying, "No way, I can run very steadily." Suddenly, Hannah tripped over a stone and fell forward.

Lu Yong reacted quickly, rushing forward and grabbing Hannah.

Hannah was terrified, her heart pounding. She said nervously, "Lu Yong, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen."

Looking at her adorable appearance, Lu Yong couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you thanking me for? How could I let you fall?"

Then the two held hands and slowly walked towards the hotel.

Back in her hotel room, Hannah was a little tired. She lay on the bed, stretched, and said, "I'm so tired today, but I'm so happy."

Lu Yong sat on the edge of the bed, gently massaging her shoulders, and said, "If you're tired, get some rest. We have new places to visit tomorrow."

Hannah closed her eyes, enjoying Lu Yong's massage.

The next morning, Hannah slowly opened her eyes and saw Lu Yong sitting by the bed, looking at her tenderly.

Hannah stretched and smiled, saying, "Good morning, Lu Yong."

Lu Yong gently kissed her forehead and said, "Good morning, Hannah. Get up, we're going to Gulangyu Island today."

After getting up and washing up, the two went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

After breakfast, they took a taxi to the pier, ready to take a boat to Gulangyu Island.

There were many people at the dock, all queuing up to board the ship.

Hannah was a little nervous. She held Lu Yong's hand tightly and said, "Lu Yong, there are so many people. I'm a little afraid of being squeezed."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll hold your hand tightly and won't let you get lost."

Finally, it was their turn to board the ship.

The two boarded the ship and found a window seat.

The ship slowly started moving, and the sea breeze blew in our faces, carrying a slightly salty smell.

Hannah leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder, looked at the sea view outside the window, and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, the sea is so beautiful!"

Lu Yong said with a smile, "When we get to Gulangyu Island, the scenery will be several times more beautiful than here."

Soon the boat docked.

The two disembarked and set foot on the land of Gulangyu.

Gulangyu is a small island full of artistic atmosphere. The streets are lined with all kinds of old houses, some European, some Chinese, and some a combination of Chinese and Western styles. Each house has a unique story.

Hannah, like a cheerful little deer, would take out her phone to take pictures every now and then.

Lu Yong followed behind her, smiling, and said, "Hannah, take your time taking pictures, we have plenty of time."

As they walked, they came to a unique little shop.

The shop is filled with all kinds of handicrafts, including ceramic, wooden, and fabric items.

Hannah's eyes lit up, and she took Lu Yong's hand, saying, "Lu Yong, let's go inside and take a look."

The two entered the small shop, where the owner was a warm and friendly old lady.

When she saw Hannah and Lu Yong come in, she smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome. Feel free to look around. Tell me if you like anything."

Hannah wandered around the shop, finally picking up a small ceramic ornament and saying, "Grandma, this is so cute! How much is it?"

The old lady smiled and said, "This costs fifty yuan."

Hannah hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a bit expensive."

Lu Yong said with a smile, "Buy it if you like it. We buy souvenirs in every place we go."

Hannah smiled and said, "Alright, Grandma, I'll take this one."

After buying the trinkets, the two continued to stroll around Gulangyu Island.

They visited the Piano Museum and saw all kinds of antique pianos; they also went to Sunlight Rock, where they stood on the top of the mountain and overlooked the entire Gulangyu Island and the sea, enjoying a breathtaking view.

At noon, they had lunch at a small restaurant.

The restaurant serves unique dishes, including satay noodles, sea worm jelly, and oyster soup.

Hannah ate with great relish, praising repeatedly, "It's so delicious! These dishes are all so unique!"

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Right? There are so many delicious foods on Gulangyu Island. We'll try them slowly later."

After lunch, the two went for a walk on the beach.

At this moment, the sun shines brightly on the beach, and the waves gently lap at the sand.

Hannah took off her shoes and stepped onto the beach again. She smiled and said, "Lu Yong, look, the sand here is so fine."

Lu Yong also took off his shoes and played on the beach with Hannah.

Suddenly, a dark cloud drifted in, and the once clear sky instantly turned gloomy.

Hannah said with some concern, "Lu Yong, it looks like it's going to rain. Let's find somewhere to take shelter."

Lu Yong looked at the sky and said, "Don't worry, there seems to be a pavilion ahead. Let's go there to hide."

The two quickly ran to the pavilion, and as soon as they stood still, a torrential downpour began.

The rain grew heavier, pattering against the roof of the pavilion.

Hannah leaned against Lu Yong's chest and said with a smile, "This rain came so suddenly."

Lu Yong gently touched her hair and said, "Yes, it started raining all of a sudden."

After a while, the rain gradually subsided.

The two emerged from the pavilion and found that Gulangyu Island was even more refreshing and beautiful after the rain.

The puddles on the street reflected the surrounding buildings, creating a scene resembling a beautiful ink painting.

They continued strolling around Gulangyu Island until evening before taking a ferry back to Xiamen Island.

Back at the hotel, both of them were exhausted. Hannah slumped on the sofa and said weakly, "Lu Yong, today was such a fulfilling and exciting day. I feel like my legs don't even belong to me anymore."

Lu Yong smiled and sat down beside her, gently massaging her legs. He said, "Hannah, you've worked hard. But we saw so many beautiful sights and ate so much delicious food today, it was all worth it, right?"

Hannah nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Yes, yes, Gulangyu is so beautiful. It feels like every corner holds a story. Especially that little shop, I like those ceramic ornaments more and more every time I look at them."

Lu Yong looked at her with affection: "As long as you like it, that's fine. When we travel to other places in the future, we'll buy you lots of souvenirs too."

After resting for a while, their stomachs started growling again.

Hannah rubbed her stomach and said with a smile, "Lu Yong, I'm hungry again. Where should we eat tonight?"

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "I heard there's a night market nearby with lots of local snacks. How about we go check it out?"

Upon hearing this, Hannah immediately perked up and jumped up from the sofa: "Great! The night market must be super lively. Let's go, let's go now!"

The two quickly tidied up and headed out to the night market.

Upon arriving at the night market, one sees all sorts of food stalls lining both sides of the street, with flashing lights, bustling crowds, and the air filled with the aroma of various delicacies.

Hannah excitedly pulled Lu Yong's hand as they wandered between the various stalls.

"Lu Yong, look, this looks delicious!" Hannah said, pointing to grilled oysters at a food stall.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Then let's buy a few to try."

He then chatted with the stall owner and bought several grilled oysters. (End of Chapter)
