Chapter 47 Enjoying It
Leaving Yangzhou, next stop Changzhou.
When Zhou Lang thinks of this city, his first impression is Changzhou Dinosaur Park.
However, Su Ying'er was really not interested in it. She thought the park was too far from the city and just wanted to play around nearby.
She followed the planned itinerary, eating at each restaurant one by one:
Changxiande's crab roe soup dumplings and tofu soup, Shengxing Noodle Shop's mixed noodles, Doubao Shop's shrimp shumai and milk foam soy milk, Huihui potstickers, Rambo bananas...
"It's delicious, as much as it is," Zhou Lang said, both amused and exasperated. "But why does it feel like we're doing the same thing as college students on a budget trip?"
I had originally planned to take her to try some expensive restaurants that she doesn't usually eat at.
"Hey bro, don't worry about it~"
Su Ying'er, however, was quite satisfied: "Michelin-starred restaurants and private chefs aren't necessarily delicious; even if they are, they might not be as enjoyable as exploring small, hidden gems. When you're out having fun, you should eat something unique to keep things interesting and novel."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Zhou Lang chuckled and patted the little girl's head: "I can tell, you're like a little train—constantly eating and shopping."
The two briefly visited Tianning Temple and Qingguo Lane before returning to their hotel to rest.
I didn't even get to take a nap because Su Ying'er just rode on me without warning...
Two hours later.
"Let me find some clothes to wear when I go out tonight."
Su Ying'er patted her flushed face, and after calming down, she lifted the blanket, revealing a pair of long legs with a 100% common area ratio that caught Zhou Lang's eye.
She squatted naked next to her suitcase, picking out clothes.
She pulled out a high school uniform from inside and happily put it on.
Zhou Lang's eyes widened: "No, Ying'er, wait a minute?"
"It's a little scary, you know... Why are you wearing your high school uniform when you go out to play...?"
"What's wrong?" Su Ying'er pounced on the bed, hugged Zhou Lang's waist, and lay on top of him.
Looking into Su Ying'er's bright, clear eyes, Zhou Lang said helplessly, "I feel a little guilty that you're wearing this."
"If you filmed a video of yourself wearing this school uniform right now and uploaded it to 918.com, it wouldn't even pass the review."
Su Ying'er laughed: "Haha~ Brother, it's because there's a spontaneous concert at the Changzhou Cultural Square. There's a graduation-themed event recently, and someone started an activity where people wear their school uniforms to the concert."
"Oh, I thought you were going to wear this while doing..."
Zhou Lang suppressed a laugh: "Then it's alright."
Su Ying'er winked at him, her tone light and playful: "You can do it while wearing it too."
"Bro, as an older office worker, shouldn't you be even more... umm~~" when faced with the youthful and energetic outfit your girlfriend has carefully chosen for you?
Zhou Lang kissed the little girl's lips, silencing her impending thunderous remarks...
……
……
Two days later, they moved on to Wuxi.
The sightseeing was whirlwind, including Yuantouzhu, Huishan Ancient Town, Nanchansi Temple, and Nanchang Street.
The snack highlights are dazzling: Mao Hua Cuisine's magnolia cakes and hot and sour soup; Xi Sheng Yuan and Fu Le Wonton's mixed wontons and Wuxi-style steamed buns; and San Feng Qiao's braised pork ribs and plum-flavored chicken wings.
Then we got straight to the point—back to the hotel.
It was another passionate exchange of ideas.
Zhou Lang finally understood: Su Ying'er genuinely didn't care about tourist attractions. After they finally confessed their feelings, the rest of their trip would basically be—
Eat the main dish, and snacks as a side dish...
However, Zhou Lang was enjoying it nonetheless.
night.
The two were quite "open" with each other; Zhou Lang lay on the bed, while Su Ying'er lay on top of him.
So that she could easily turn around and get into the driver's seat...
Su Ying'er's two slender little feet dangled around, sometimes stepping on Zhou Lang's instep, sometimes tapping the side of his foot with her toes.
"Yinger, if you keep fidgeting, my CD will start spinning again."
"Hmph~ Alright, bro, you're at a disadvantage here. Girls have much shorter cooldown times than you, I can do it anytime~"
Zhou Lang held her small hand, playing with it as he thought about how his small rented room seemed a bit cramped after returning to Shushui City.
"Ying'er, after you go home, do you want to move out?"
He remembered Su Ying'er complaining that her parents had basically left her to her own devices, and that she left home immediately after the college entrance exam because she didn't want to stay at home and be looked down upon.
Su Ying'er's round almond-shaped eyes widened slightly: "Living together?"
"Are you willing?" Zhou Lang asked. "If it's possible, I was just thinking of moving to a bigger place to rent."
"Okay!" Su Ying'er snuggled closer to him. "The results will be out at the end of the month, and we'll apply to universities. We don't even know where we'll go to school yet."
"He might go to the provincial sports academy, which is located in RZ City."
Rizhao and Shushui are neither too far nor too close, less than 200 kilometers apart, a two-hour drive.
But it's still a long-distance relationship.
"Before school starts, I'm going to pester you and spend as much time with you as possible."
"I'll come to see you often after school starts."
Zhou Lang kissed her on the lips and said, "Then let's go back and look at houses together."
……
Three days later, in Hangzhou.
The two stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel West Lake, which cost 4300 yuan per night.
Su Ying'er said that she wanted to make the room fee worthwhile and stay in the room as long as possible to earn back the money.
So for the next two or three days, apart from taking a short walk around half of West Lake, she hardly left the house.
Zhou Lang had reason to believe that she was just a new girl, still very much addicted, and that she was only saying this as an excuse to ride him a few more times...
On the day of our return trip, we flew back to Shushui City.
During his trip, Zhou Lang used his savings account to buy shopping cards for Shushui City online, after spending most of the money on hotel expenses. He also had a daily limit of 5000 yuan for a few days.
This way, he has more money to spend on daily necessities or as gifts.
After returning to Shushui City, Zhou Lang and Su Ying'er first went to a local rental platform store.
Logically speaking, if he wasn't in a hurry to change apartments, he could take his time looking for apartments directly rented from landlords.
But now that he has the money in his savings account, he can easily cover the monthly rent for a large apartment with his daily limit of 5000 yuan, so he's too lazy to spend any more time and effort on it.
It's a bit more expensive, but it's the extra agency and management fees. Consider it money spent for peace of mind and tranquility.
Inside the store, Su Ying'er looked through the nearby houses. She first rejected many villas, reasoning that since there were only two of them, there was no need to live in such a big house.
If the space is too empty, you'll need to buy two more robot vacuums and routers...
"Brother, these single-level apartments aren't cheap either."
Su Ying'er pointed to a 400-square-meter duplex penthouse near the city center, with a monthly rent of 8000 yuan.
If this price were in the core areas of Beijing, Shanghai, or Shenzhen, it would be incredibly attractive.
But this is Shushui City, a fourth-tier city. A normal 100-square-meter three-bedroom apartment only costs 800 to 1000 yuan per month.
Therefore, this apartment with a monthly rent of 8,000 is not cost-effective.
Zhou Lang looked at the set Su Ying'er was pointing to; there was a familiar golden relief screen wall at the entrance of the residential complex...
I almost became neighbors with Tian Wei... and I might even run into my sister-in-law Shen Wanrou quite often...
His eyelids twitched, and he coughed, "Then let's take a look at the houses on the side bordering the Economic Development Zone. The transportation is convenient, and the infrastructure is not bad."
"Hmm, bro, look at this one~ It's similar to this one in the city, over 300 square meters, but the rent is only 5,000 yuan."
