Chapter 153 Girlfriend Travel
The morning sun gently sprinkled in every corner of the city, awakening the sleeping people. Lin Xiao, Huang Xiaoqian and Tang Xinrui got up early and made final preparations for the upcoming trip to the surrounding cities.
Lin Xiao neatly put the carefully selected clothes into the travel backpack, her eyes full of anticipation. As she packed, she recalled the excitement of discussing travel plans with her girlfriends. Huang Xiaoqian repeatedly tried on different clothes in front of the mirror, trying to find the most suitable combination for travel and to show her beauty. Tang Xinrui was busy checking the battery level and memory card of the camera, ready to use the lens to record every wonderful moment of the journey.
"Xiao, how about I wear this dress? Will it look good in photos?" Huang Xiaoqian asked Lin Xiao, holding a floral dress and trying it on herself.
Lin Xiao turned around, took a look, and said with a smile: "It looks good, it suits you very well, fresh and sweet."
"That's it!" Huang Xiaoqian put the skirt into the suitcase with satisfaction.
Tang Xinrui held the camera and said mischievously to the two people who were packing their luggage, "Come, look at the camera and smile. I'll record our appearance before we set off."
Lin Xiao and Huang Xiaoqian immediately put on happy smiles, and this moment was captured in the camera.
Finally, everything was ready, and they carried their own bags, walked out of the house, and embarked on a journey full of unknowns and surprises. Along the way, the three good sisters sat in the car, talking excitedly and laughing constantly.
"Wow, I can finally relax!" Lin Xiao looked at the scenery receding outside the car window, and her mood was as open as the blue sky. The trees on both sides of the road were lush and green, as if it was a green corridor paved by nature for them.
Huang Xiaoqian smiled and said, "That's right, we have to have a good time this time! I've been under a lot of work pressure lately, so I hope this trip will allow me to completely relax."
Tang Xinrui also interjected, "Yes, let's throw all those worries away. We should enjoy this rare time to the fullest."
Lin Xiao excitedly began to recount his adventures in the Tang Dynasty. "Do you know? During the Tang Dynasty, I witnessed a real palace banquet. The scene was simply magnificent. The table was full of delicacies and the exquisite tableware, each of which was breathtaking."
The girlfriends were so engrossed in listening that Huang Xiaoqian couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao, you said that women in the Tang Dynasty were all so gentle, is that true?"
Lin Xiao blinked and recalled, "Most of them are, but there are also some with lively personalities. Women in the Tang Dynasty paid great attention to etiquette and education, but there were also some with distinct personalities who dared to pursue what they wanted. Their makeup and clothing were very particular, with their hair piled high and paired with gorgeous hair accessories, they were so beautiful."
Tang Xinrui then asked curiously: "Were the streets in the Tang Dynasty particularly lively?"
Lin Xiao smiled and replied, "Of course. There are all kinds of goods on sale, including silk, porcelain, and paintings. There are also artists performing juggling and magic tricks on the street, and the audience is surrounded by people."
"Wow, that sounds so interesting!" Huang Xiaoqian and Tang Xinrui said in unison.
Unconsciously, the car drove into a tunnel. After a brief period of darkness, the view suddenly became clear and their destination - the small town full of historical charm appeared before them.
The three of them got off the car, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the unique atmosphere of this small town. The ancient city wall surrounded the city, like a kind old man, quietly guarding everything here. They walked slowly along the bluestone-paved streets, with antique buildings on both sides of the street, and exquisite patterns carved on the wooden doors and windows, showing ancient craftsmanship.
"Look, that store seems to be very unique!" Tang Xinrui said, pointing to a small shop selling handicrafts.
They walked into the store, which was filled with all kinds of handicrafts, including exquisite embroidery, small wood carvings, and unique ceramics. Lin Xiao picked up an embroidered handkerchief with a delicate peony embroidered on it, with delicate stitches and lifelike.
"This craftsmanship is amazing!" Lin Xiao exclaimed.
Huang Xiaoqian was attracted by a small wooden carving, which was a cute little rabbit and looked lifelike.
"This little rabbit is so cute, I want to buy it." Huang Xiaoqian said happily.
After leaving the shop, they continued to stroll on the streets, feeling the tranquility and peace of this small town.
Soon, they arrived in front of a famous local ancient building. This building was magnificent, with flying eaves and brackets, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient architecture.
"Wow, it's spectacular!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.
They walked into the building, where tall pillars supported the roof and the walls were painted with exquisite murals that told ancient stories. Huang Xiaoqian gently stroked the pillars, as if she could feel the accumulation of time.
"Compared with the buildings in the Tang Dynasty, this place has a different style. Most of the buildings in the Tang Dynasty were magnificent, while here they are more simple and elegant," said Lin Xiao.
Tang Xinrui kept taking pictures with his camera, trying to capture this beautiful moment.
It was already noon when they came out of the ancient building. The sun shone on them, bringing a hint of warmth. The three of them's stomachs began to growl.
"Let's go to the snack street and try the local food!" Lin Xiao suggested.
As soon as you enter the snack street, the aroma of various delicacies hits your nose, making you salivate. There are steaming hot dumplings, crispy and delicious fried skewers, sweet and soft pastries...
"This looks delicious!" Lin Xiao said, pointing at a special snack. It was a strangely shaped cake sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
The boss introduced enthusiastically: "This is our specialty, it's called scallion pancake, girls, try it."
Lin Xiao took a piece of cake and took a bite. The crispy crust and the soft filling blended together in his mouth. It was delicious.
Huang Xiaoqian was attracted by a stall selling candied haws. The strings of red candied haws were sparkling attractively in the sun.
"I want a string of candied haws!" said Huang Xiaoqian.
Tang Xinrui chose a plate of cold noodles, and she praised its spicy and sour taste.
They ate as they walked, tasting all kinds of delicious food, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
The afternoon sun became softer, and they came to a park with green trees, blooming flowers, and clear lake water. The breeze blew, creating ripples.
Lin Xiao, Huang Xiaoqian and Tang Xinrui spread a picnic blanket on the lawn by the lake and sat down to rest.
"This feels so comfortable. It would be great if it could always be like this." Huang Xiaoqian said while lying on the lawn and looking at the sky.
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Then let us cherish this moment."
Tang Xinrui took out his camera and took a few photos of the two of them to record this beautiful moment.
After a short rest, they got up and continued to explore the town. Passing by a bookstore, Lin Xiao couldn't help but walk in. The bookstore was filled with a faint scent of books, and the bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books.
Lin Xiao wandered in front of the bookshelf and finally picked out a book about the history of this small town.
"Knowing more about the history here will make our trip more meaningful," said Lin Xiao.
Huang Xiaoqian and Tang Xinrui also each chose a book they liked.
As night falls and the lights come on, the night in the small town has a special flavor. Lanterns on both sides of the street light up, illuminating the way home for people.
They stayed in a cozy B&B. The yard of the B&B was full of various flowers and plants, exuding bursts of fragrance.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" said Huang Xiaoqian.
The three of them walked into the room, which was decorated very warmly, with neat beds and wooden furniture, making people feel particularly comfortable.
They put down their luggage, came to the yard, and sat together, looking up at the starry sky, which was twinkling as if telling an ancient story.
"Xiao, have you ever seen such a beautiful starry sky when you were in the Tang Dynasty?" Tang Xinrui asked.
Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "The night in the Tang Dynasty was also beautiful, but it felt different from here."
At this time, Huang Xiaoqian talked about her recent relationship troubles.
"I met a boy recently. He is very nice to me, but I don't know whether I should accept him." Huang Xiaoqian said with some distress.
Lin Xiao and Tang Xinrui listened patiently and then gave their own suggestions.
Lin Xiao held Huang Xiaoqian's hand and said, "Xiaoqian, you should follow your heart when it comes to relationships. If he really treats you well and you have feelings for him, you might as well give him a chance."
Tang Xinrui also nodded in agreement: "That's right, Xiaoqian, don't think too much, sometimes it's better to keep things simple."
With the comfort and encouragement from her best friends, Huang Xiaoqian felt much better.
"Thank you, it's great to have you." Huang Xiaoqian said.
Then they talked about each other's dreams and future plans.
"I want to open my own coffee shop in the future so I can smell the aroma of coffee every day," said Lin Xiao.
"I want to be a photographer, travel to every corner of the world and take pictures of the most beautiful scenery," said Tang Xinrui.
"I hope to find a job that I like and then build a happy family with the one I love," said Huang Xiaoqian.
On this quiet night, the hearts of the besties become closer, and the joy of traveling takes deep root in their hearts.
The next day, the sun shone through the window into the room, waking up the three people who were sleeping. After washing up and having breakfast, they started a new day's journey.
They came to a local traditional market, which was crowded and bustling, with stalls filled with a variety of agricultural products, handicrafts and special snacks.
Lin Xiao was attracted by a stall selling handmade woven products. The bracelets, necklaces and pendants woven with colorful silk threads were exquisite.
"These woven products are so beautiful. I want to buy some to give to my friends," said Lin Xiao.
Huang Xiaoqian stopped at a fruit stall and tasted the local fresh fruits.
"Wow, the fruits here are so sweet!" said Huang Xiaoqian.
Tang Xinrui was busy using his camera to record the lively scene in the market.
At noon, they tasted the specialties at a local restaurant, including juicy braised fish, fragrant braised pork and refreshing vegetable soup.
"I've eaten so many delicious foods these past two days. I'll have to lose weight when I go back." Huang Xiaoqian said with a smile.
"It's okay to indulge yourself occasionally. Being happy is the most important thing." Lin Xiao said.
In the afternoon, they came to a mountain where there was an ancient temple, with incense smoke curling and bells ringing.
They prayed devoutly, hoping that the days ahead would be peaceful and smooth.
Coming down the mountain, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, giving their figures a layer of golden glow.
"This trip is really unforgettable." Lin Xiao said.
"Yes, let's go out and play together next time." Huang Xiaoqian and Tang Xinrui said.
As night fell, they set out on their way home. As the car drove farther and farther away, the small town full of historical charm gradually disappeared from their sight, but the beautiful memories of this trip will always remain in their hearts.
