Nostalgia.

The two planned to go to the Forbidden City tomorrow.

Chen Liang has been there.

I haven't been to Baiju.

This was her first time visiting this place.

The depression, frustration, and pain she felt after losing her husband made her want to go out for a walk.

Look at this world.

Perhaps, that will help clear my mind.

And that makes me feel less pain.

Moreover, having met Chen Liang, Bai Ju's inner pain had largely disappeared.

……

Their bliss lasted for most of the night before they fell asleep...

Because I have to get up early tomorrow.

Otherwise, I won't sleep.

……

The two did not check out the next day.

Because I'll be coming back.

In this southern suburb, Bai Ju wanted to stay a little longer.

Spend more time with Chen Liang.

She wanted to fully express her feelings.

I won't let myself be sad anymore.

She knew that being too sad all the time wasn't good for her either.

People who experience this cannot remain sad for long.

She also has children.

……

The two found a restaurant outside and had some breakfast.

Then, I took the subway.

Heading towards the Forbidden City...

On the subway, Bai Ju's feelings for Chen Liang remained strong and unwavering...

Their unwavering affection drew the attention of onlookers...

……

Finally, we got off the subway.

We arrived at the Forbidden City.

Tickets for the Forbidden City are now on sale.

Chen Liang and Bai Ju bought it.

Chen Liang stood under the Meridian Gate and unconsciously looked down at his feet.

He suddenly remembered that phrase: "Execute him at the Meridian Gate!"

He wondered: How much blood has seeped into this ground?

This blood has nourished countless tiny blades of grass that have yet to sprout.

Chen Liang thought to himself.

Bai Ju tugged at his hand.

Chen Liang and Bai Ju walked through the Meridian Gate...

……

I've heard that if you were to walk around the Forbidden City, you couldn't finish exploring it in a whole day.

But how can we see through things if we don't walk around and observe?

What does that mean?

Looking at the Forbidden City, Chen Liang thought: This emperor is really awesome! He built his own home to be so luxurious and magnificent.

Have you ever thought about the ordinary people?

That's the hard-earned money of so many ordinary people!

How much blood and sweat of ordinary people has been shed for this!

Chen Liang thought again: These things include his own ancestors too.

Hey!

That's fucking ridiculous!

That damned emperor is a real scoundrel! He treats this beautiful land, this vast land, as his own private property.

Moreover, they could kill people at will, whenever they wanted, and execute them at will.

Hey!

What the hell is this piece of crap?!

Oh shit!

Damn!

The dynasty deserves to perish!

Otherwise, there would be no justice.

……

Chen Liang thought and looked around as he walked with Bai Ju.

Baiju also watched.

Occasionally, he would exchange a few words with Chen Liang.

Can you tell me what that thing is?

What kind of scenery is that?

What do you do...?

……

The crowd was somewhat bustling...

There were also beautiful women in the crowd.

There are also handsome men.

However, neither Chen Liang nor Bai Ju looked at it.

Not rare.

Because now, what they cherish most is each other...

……

As they walked, the two arrived at the place where the emperor held court.

The two looked inside through the window and the doorway...

so big!

so big!

Wow, it's huge!

Hey!

Big fart!

The people's hard-earned money!

This was built entirely with the blood and sweat of the people.

It was not created by the emperor himself.

Because he doesn't create value.

They're just bloodsuckers on the people's heads!

Those vampires are absolutely despicable!

Those nasty vampires!

A vampire who makes you want to kill him!

Moreover, he is a despicable, shameless, and selfish scoundrel!

Pooh!

Hey!

Perhaps the purpose of the Forbidden City's exhibits is to remind people not to forget the emperor's wickedness.

Instead of simply looking at how magnificent or awesome it is.

……

Chen Liang and Bai Ju looked at it from different angles, but found it uninteresting.

It just feels dirty.

It's eerie.

Chen Liang felt this way, and so did Bai Ju.

The two left.

Go further in.

Walking slowly...

Enjoy it slowly...

Watch it slowly...

Because I spent money.

The money is hard-earned, so it shouldn't be wasted.

……

The two went to the back, to Cixi's bedroom.

I didn't pay much attention to anything else, but I did see Empress Dowager Cixi's chamber pot.

A chamber pot?

Chamber pot!

I am!

Smelly!

Even dirtier!

It's disgusting...

Bai Ju almost threw up.

Chen Liang quickly pulled her out of Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom.

Chen Liang asked, "Are we coming again?"

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ugh..."

Bai Ju felt nauseous and wanted to vomit...

Chen Liang grabbed her and quickly walked away to a distance.

Stay far away from that disgusting chamber pot...

It took Bai Ju a long time to recover.

Chen Liang held her hand and they looked at the glazed tiles on other houses.

And those flying eaves and walls, carved beams and painted rafters...

Chen Liang was even more moved!

Dog Emperor!

What a despicable person! They've taken up so much of the world's resources!

Pooh!

"Sigh..." Bai Ju sighed as well, "Let's not watch anymore, let's go, it's boring!"

"Okay," Chen Liang replied.

Perhaps, both of them wanted to leave this filthy place as soon as possible.

A filthy place.

A place that occupies the wealth of all people.

……

The two of them left feeling disgusted and bored.

It was already noon...

Bai Ju didn't want to go anywhere else; she wanted to go back.

Chen Liang took her on the subway again...

Heading towards the southern suburbs...

……

We arrived in the southern suburbs and entered the hotel.

Bai Ju lay down on the bed.

She was panting, her chest heaving.

Perhaps she was a little annoyed.

"Oh my god, oh my god, why did I come to a place like this? It's so disgusting!"

Chen Liang smiled as he looked at her...

He slowly bent down...

He hugged her...

He kissed her...

Furthermore, obsession... fanaticism...

warm……

Bai Ju was also obsessed, fanatical...

……

It wasn't until 3 p.m. that Bai Ju's condition subsided.

Chen Liang led her out for a meal.

I didn't eat much of the white chrysanthemum; in fact, I felt a little nauseous while I was eating it.

Chen Liang did not expect her to react so strongly.

Chen Liang felt she shouldn't have come.

Perhaps she will never come again.

I no longer care about this place...

……

After the meal, the two returned to the hotel.

Bai Ju also stopped going out.

She didn't want to go anywhere else either.

She kept saying, "This is boring, boring, I don't want to stay here anymore. I feel nauseous. When I see things outside and breathe this air, I'm reminded of Empress Dowager Cixi's chamber pot. Damn it!"

She immediately started swearing.

"Where to?" Chen Liang sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her.

Bai Ju pulled Chen Liang's hand and made him lie down.

She clung to Chen Liang.

"Go away..." she said, her pale face turned to Chen Liang, "I don't know either."

After saying that, she immediately kissed Chen Liang...

……

Perhaps happiness can help her temporarily forget Empress Dowager Cixi...

……

Darkness descended once more, and night fell again...

Neon lights flickered, streetlights cast a pale yellow glow...

Chen Liang went out and bought food.

When we got back, we ate at the hotel with Baiju.

They also drink alcohol.

Drinking is mandatory.

Otherwise, Bai Ju still wouldn't be able to forget that incident.

wipe!

Chen Liang felt that he really shouldn't have taken Bai Ju to see Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom.

……

"Where else shall we go?" Chen Liang asked while eating.

"Lugou Bridge at Dawn"

"It might not even look good; it's just a gimmick," Chen Liang said.

Chen Liang had never seen the Lugou Bridge under the Dawn Moon.

"Hmm..." Bai Ju thought.

Actually, she didn't want to leave Kyoto either, because she had to go home in a few days.

She can't always be outside.

She has children at home, but they're not that old yet.

"How about we just stroll around the neighborhood? Actually, meeting you is enough for me," Bai Ju suddenly said.

Chen Liang nodded.

People are more important than scenery.

Meeting people is better than seeing scenery.

What can scenery provide?

People, however, can give a lot.

It's not just about physical comfort, but also about mental and spiritual well-being...

May her pain quickly subside and dissipate...
