Li Haoyu was practically dizzy from being shaken around by Xu Hongdou. ♙♕ 😲✌

He was being swayed from side to side by her. However, Xu Hongdou's stamina was still a bit lacking. Despite her large movements, Li Haoyu remained firmly standing at the doorway.

However, Xu Hongdou still posed a certain degree of threat.

She was in a fit of anger, and Xu Hongdou even tried to pull Li Haoyu's hair. Luckily, Li Haoyu had short hair, so it wasn't easy for her to grab it.

Otherwise, Xu Hongdou might have really succeeded.

However, Li Haoyu's hairstyle was completely ruined as a result. Only then did he truly understand what it felt like to have someone angrily rub a dog's head.

Sure enough, being a dog isn't easy these days.

At this moment, Li Haoyu finally understood the time he spent petting his own pet dog's head.

Why does it always look like that?

Li Haoyu's hair was being rubbed by Xu Hongdou's small hands, and although it was a little messy, it felt alright. If Xu Hongdou were a little gentler, it would really be a bit overwhelming.

Xu Hongdou didn't continue. The noise they made had alerted other hotel guests, and some had already opened their doors to see what was happening outside.

Xu Hongdou didn't want others to watch the spectacle anymore.

So all that responded to Li Haoyu was the cold, impersonal door.

Although Li Haoyu was turned away.

But he wasn't discouraged at all. Xu Hongdou's behavior this time was less like a rejection and more like a little girl's pleading. Li Haoyu felt he had plenty of opportunities.

…………

A girl's temper is like the rain in June, always unpredictable.

However, Li Haoyu knew that Xu Hongdou was soft-hearted.

After he begged for forgiveness several times, Xu Hongdou temporarily refrained from pursuing the charge of the forced kiss. According to Xu Hongdou, "She didn't forgive Li Haoyu; she just wanted to punish him later."

Li Haoyu quickly seized the opportunity to back down.

The two of them have a very busy schedule from now on.

There are just so many places to visit.

The ancient city of Lijiang, the imperial capital of Dali, the Stone Forest with its karst landforms, the boundless Erhai Lake, the Cangshan Mountains covered in billowing white clouds, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the colorful Blue Moon Valley...

After some discussion, the two chose the same location.

So they came to Erhai Lake, where there are many guesthouses along the shore. Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou chose one that was a moderate distance from the lake.

Because if you're too close to the sea, it will not only be quite damp, but it will also have a fishy smell.

However, the view from the guesthouse was truly beautiful; you could feel a gentle breeze blowing in as soon as you opened the window. Standing on the windowsill, you could see large, fluffy white clouds that seemed almost within reach.

When it came time to eat, Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou didn't use their RV anymore, since it was a bit too bulky. Instead, they rented a small electric scooter and rode to eat at the number one ranked wild mushroom hot pot restaurant.

This also caught Xu Hongdou's eye.

She discovered for the first time that some mushrooms taste better than meat! ✌♖ 6999x.ⓒx ✌🐟

Actually, the mushroom hot pot here doesn't involve complicated procedures or processing; it relies entirely on the ingredients, emphasizing their naturalness and freshness. This place is, after all, a kingdom of mushrooms.

Termitomyces, matsutake, porcini, chanterelle, styrax, bamboo shoots, and more—you name it, you can find it here.

It really is a meeting of the mushroom enthusiasts.

Therefore, the hot pot only needs to be made with free-range chicken broth as the base, and various special wild mushrooms are added. After simmering for nearly half an hour, the broth of the mushroom hot pot is already delicious enough.

The chicken is tender, and the soup is fresh and delicious.

The mushroom has a delicate fragrance and a refreshing taste.

Truly, delicacies from the mountains surpass even those from the sea.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but say to Xu Hongdou.

"Just for this bowl of mushroom soup, it's worth coming back here again next year."

It wasn't that Li Haoyu was naive. Anyone who had seen real mushroom soup would know what Li Haoyu meant.

The soup is so beautiful, golden and oily, the mushrooms are tender and smooth, and there's a hint of sweetness in the umami flavor! One bowl of soup is simply not enough.

It's so delicious that you can't stop eating it, bowl after bowl.

Xu Hongdou suddenly said, "You really are a foodie, you were so easily moved."

When Li Haoyu heard Xu Hongdou say that, he couldn't help but laugh.

Li Haoning said directly, "Before eating, someone kept saying they were on a diet, but when the mushroom soup pot was actually served, it seemed like they had eaten two pounds of mushrooms."

I don't know if I said anything wrong.

"No...it seems to be a little more than two pounds."

Actually, Li Haoyu wasn't just drawn to the food; this place truly is the perfect place to settle down and grow old. It's like spring all year round, and every view is picturesque.

As Li Haoyu spoke,

He couldn't resist picking up another bowl of mushroom soup and slowly savoring it.

He wiped the grease from his mouth and continued, "See? I told you Erhai Lake and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are two different kinds of beauty, right? I can get a couple of bicycles and ride them later."

Li Haoyu had just finished speaking.

He glanced at Xu Hongdou.

"You wanted to enjoy more of the natural scenery, so after listening to my suggestion, aren't you even a little bit tempted? Oh, and please get me another bowl."

"Don't forget to order more termite mushrooms; they're quite chewy."

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Li Haoyu.

She remained motionless and said, "You're getting more and more outrageous. If you want to drink, then help yourself."

"In this weather, you'd get eight shades darker from cycling around the coast. If you want to go, don't use me as an excuse. Besides, you bought such an expensive RV, it's not just for show. Can't you just drive slower?"

Despite what Xu Hongdou said. ๑۞๑,¸¸,ø¤º°`°๑۩ 🎀 𝟨𝟫𝓈𝒽𝓊𝓍.𝒸💍𝓂 🎀 ۩๑°`°º¤ø,¸¸,๑۞๑

But her body language was honest.

She faced the empty bowl that Li Haoyu handed her.

Xu Hongdou still served Li Haoyu a large bowl of food as requested.

Xu Hongdou said, "Can you stop just eating and listen to what I'm saying?"

Li Haoyu said with a look of surprise, "Of course I'm listening to your opinion carefully. Driving a motorhome is comfortable, but it's not tiring enough!"

"Cycling is much tougher, but that's what makes it memorable. Sometimes the point of travel is to pay to suffer, isn't that right?"

Xu Hongdou: "………"

Li Haoyu, seeing Xu Hongdou's silence, asked, "You don't just want to take some landscape photos to post on your WeChat Moments, do you?"

Xu Hongdou: "………"

Her eyes widened in surprise.

She clearly disagreed with Li Haoyu's statement.

Li Haoyu stared at Xu Hongdou for a long time.

He decided he shouldn't tease her anymore. "Alright, you're the main character on this trip, I'm just accompanying you. I'll follow your lead for the rest of the itinerary, okay?"

Xu Hongdou nodded in satisfaction after listening.

Only then did he hand over the bowl he was holding.

Xu Hongdou said with satisfaction, "You're more like it, with that kind of awareness."

Li Haoyu held the bowl with both hands.

He said mischievously, "I just wonder if I'll find a girlfriend during the trip. I'll have to ask my girlfriend's opinion first."

Li Haoyu has become incredibly shameless. He clearly took advantage of Xu Hongdou last night, yet he can say such things to her face now.

Xu Hongdou finally spoke up, "I don't think you need to worry about this."

Li Haoyu couldn't help but press for an answer.

"What do you mean by this? Can you tell fortunes? Should I call you Fortune Teller Xu? Or do you have other ideas? Don't tell me you're planning to take her place?"

Xu Hongdou heard Li Haoyu say this.

This time, however, she didn't get angry.

She said casually, "Then come talk to me again after you find a girlfriend. After you finish eating, you'll have to be my driver; I'll take you wherever I tell you to."

After saying that, Xu Hongdou turned around and left.

She didn't give Li Haoyu any chance to speak at all.

In truth, Xu Hongdou was also harboring a grudge. The fact that she could speak to Li Haoyu so calmly now was actually due to the composure she had cultivated over the years in the hotel industry.

If Li Haoyu continues to act so freely...

She had no idea what she was going to do.

This Li Haoyu is truly shameless. Xu Hongdou thought to herself: One day, she'll find a chance to teach Li Haoyu a lesson and vent her anger!

……

After they finished eating, the two rested and adjusted for a while.

They then embarked on a journey around Erhai Lake.

The scenery here is picturesque all year round, but among the many scenic spots, the four most famous and captivating are the wind, flowers, snow, and moon, namely Cangshan Snow, Erhai Moon, Shangguan Flowers, and Xiaguan Wind.

Just like all tourist attractions have a little story behind them.

Erhai Lake also has its own story.

The most widely circulated story about the Erhai Moon is that of a celestial princess descending to earth.

Legend has it that there was a princess in the heavenly palace who envied the happy and fulfilling life on earth, so she descended to a fishing village by Erhai Lake and married a fisherman.

To help the fishermen live a life of plenty, the princess sank her precious mirror into the sea, illuminating the fish clearly so that the fishermen could catch more fish.

From then on, the precious mirror transformed into a golden moon in Haiti, shining brightly and illuminating generations of fishermen, thus becoming the "Erhai Moon" for people to admire.

Li Haoyu was skeptical of this story.

But none of that matters...

Because as long as the scenery is beautiful enough, that's fine.

Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou passed by a large field of ripe wheat, where many tourists, like them, were driving or renting convertibles and stopping to take pictures.

The wheat fields shimmered golden under the sunlight, dazzlingly beautiful. Even Xu Hongdou couldn't resist getting out of the car to take many photos before reluctantly leaving.

Li Haoyu waited until 4 p.m. before setting off.

As for why he chose this time:

As evening approaches and the sun sets, a drive along the eastern side of Erhai Lake offers a perfect view of Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, and the sunset.

As the sun was setting, the two arrived at their destination.

As soon as she got out of the car, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but sigh.

"So beautiful!"

The moon reflected on the snow-capped Cangshan Mountain over Erhai Lake is truly unbelievably beautiful.

The distant Cangshan Mountains complement each other, making this place truly like a fairyland. Exquisitely beautiful. Countless boats drift on the water, and travelers seem to be strolling through a painting.

It is as still as a virgin, gentle and pure, as beautiful as a woman in her first love. Time may take away people's appearance, but it cannot take away the pure beauty of Erhai Lake, as pure as a lily.

At that moment, even the light took shape.

Xu Hongdou and Li Haoyu had also gotten off the bus. They walked with the crowd up the stairs and along the paths until they arrived at Nanzhao Folk Island.

Li Haoyu's hand somehow ended up holding Xu Hongdou's.

Xu Hongdou initially resisted, trying to escape from Li Haoyu's grasp. However, Li Haoyu did not let go.

He just looked at Xu Hongdou quietly, "There are too many tourists here, it's not safe. Holding your hand will prevent me from losing you."

Xu Hongdou looked at Li Haoyu, who was so sincere.

She didn't know what reason to give to refute Li Haoyu for a moment.

Xu Hongdou tried to pull her hand away again, but she failed again.

She really had no choice now. Xu Hongdou couldn't resist Li Haoyu, so she had to give up and let him take her hand.

Fortunately, it seems that Li Haoyu is up to something again this time.

He really just quietly held his own hand.

Xu Hongdou quickly forgot about holding hands.

Because she was completely captivated by the beautiful scenery before her.

The sun was about to set.

But the light that bathed the earth did not diminish in the slightest.

A breeze blew, making the environment cooler, and the setting sun softened, its dazzling light becoming less intense, like a lantern with gentle light.

The sea slowly changed color, from deep blue to dark blue. The part closest to the setting sun turned rose-red, as if the sea were drunk.

Before long, the setting sun in the distance descended rapidly.

When they reached the ridge, they suddenly stopped.

As the sun grew redder and redder, Xu Hongdou couldn't even tell whether it was sunrise or sunset; everything was so harmonious and beautiful.

So beautiful that she was speechless and could only admire it quietly.

Xu Hongdou was truly captivated by the beauty of nature.

At that moment, Li Haoyu quietly placed his hand on Xu Hongdou's shoulder. "This place is really beautiful, but more importantly, I'm watching the sunset with you now."

Xu Hongdou glanced at Li Haoyu.

She gave her a questioning look.

Li Haoyu said in surprise, "Isn't this romantic enough? At this moment, in this situation, didn't you have an impulsive thought?"

Li Haoyu spoke.

His face gradually moved closer to Xu Hongdou.

He continued, "For example... offering one's own..."

Just as Li Haoyu's face was about to touch Xu Hongdou's.

A hand blocked between their faces. It was Xu Hongdou's slender, fair palm, and she slowly but firmly pushed Li Haoyu's face away.

So what?

"Is that your excuse for taking advantage?"

Li Haoyu said helplessly, "You're still a bit too worldly. There's nothing I can do. It seems you still need some time to enlighten yourself."

Li Haoyu was a little disappointed.

He had originally thought that this opportunity would allow him to once again enjoy her company.

It still failed, and the opportunity has passed. Forcing it now would be pointless; Li Haoyu hung his head, looking dejected.

Seeing this, Xu Hongdou said calmly.

"Now I'm actually wearing lipstick."

"But this time, I won't need your help."
