Chapter 196 Yuanxuan Tourism
After the news broadcast, everything Li Yuan had done for the children in the mountainous area was like a warm breeze, blowing into the hearts of countless people. That day, Li Yuan's husband, Liu Xuan, was sitting on the sofa in the living room, idly flipping through TV channels. Suddenly, a familiar news scene caught his eye—it was a report about Li Yuan and her team transforming a school in a mountainous area.
Liu Xuan sat bolt upright, his eyes glued to the screen. Watching Li Yuan speak eloquently in the interview, a smile unconsciously crept onto his face, his expression brimming with pride. As soon as the news ended, he immediately dialed Li Yuan's number. The moment the call connected, Liu Xuan excitedly exclaimed, "Wife, you're amazing! I just saw the news, your good deed was even on TV!"
Li Yuan laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "Hey, it's nothing, it's all the result of everyone's hard work. Just stay home and don't get excited."
Liu Xuan persisted, "No way! This is such a big event, we have to celebrate! I've decided, let's go to Hangzhou for a trip and relax! How long until you finish what you're doing?"
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It will probably take two days. There are still some finishing touches to be done at the company."
Liu Xuan slapped his thigh: "Okay, then let's leave in two days! I'll book the plane tickets and hotel now, and you just need to make yourself look your best."
Li Yuan smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. But don't book any expensive hotels, let's save some money."
Liu Xuan said nonchalantly, "Wife, you've done a great deed. This little bit of money is nothing. Don't worry about it, I'll definitely arrange everything perfectly."
Two days later, Li Yuan and Liu Xuan embarked on their journey to Hangzhou. As soon as they stepped off the plane, the warm, moist air of Hangzhou greeted them, a stark contrast to the dryness of their home city. Liu Xuan took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Wow, this air is just different! Honey, for the next few days, you'll be eating and drinking to your heart's content!"
Li Yuan rolled her eyes at him: "You're so good at talking. Hurry up and go to the hotel to drop off your luggage."
Upon arriving at the hotel, Li Yuan was immediately drawn to the elegant décor of the room. Several pots of blooming flowers adorned the space, emitting a delicate fragrance. She couldn't help but remark, "You really know how to pick a place; this hotel has a lovely ambiance."
Liu Xuan said proudly, "Of course, I did a lot of research. By the way, honey, how about we go to West Lake for Hangzhou cuisine tonight? I heard their West Lake Vinegar Fish and Longjing Shrimp are absolutely amazing."
Li Yuan nodded: "Okay, I've been wanting to try authentic Hangzhou cuisine too."
In the evening, the two arrived at a restaurant by West Lake. The restaurant was bustling with people. They found a seat by the window, where they could see the beautiful scenery of West Lake. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the lake, making it sparkle and shimmer, a truly breathtaking sight.
Looking at the menu, Liu Xuan said as he ordered, "Wife, we definitely have to order West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce, as well as Longjing Shrimp and Dongpo Pork. These are all signature dishes, let's try them all."
Li Yuan laughed and said, "You ordered so much, are we going to finish it all?"
Liu Xuan said confidently, "Don't worry, we'll pack up any leftovers. When you're out having fun, you have to eat and drink well; you can't skimp on yourself."
Soon, the dishes were served one after another. Liu Xuan couldn't wait to pick up a piece of West Lake Vinegar Fish and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up: "Wow, this taste is amazing! Honey, you have to try it."
Li Yuan also took a bite and praised it highly: "Mmm, it's really delicious. The sweet and sour taste is just right, and the fish is very fresh and tender."
The two enjoyed their meal while admiring the beautiful scenery of West Lake, chatting and laughing. After dinner, they strolled along the lake. West Lake at night presents a completely different scene, with the lights along the shore reflected in the water, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Liu Xuan suddenly grabbed Li Yuan's hand and said affectionately, "Wife, do you know? Seeing everything you've done for those children in the mountains makes me so proud. You're such a kind angel."
Li Yuan smiled shyly: "Don't be so sentimental. I just did what I felt I should do. Those children are so pitiful, I just wanted to help them."
Liu Xuan held her hand tightly: "I know, that's why I love you even more. This trip was to let you relax; you've been working so hard lately."
Li Yuan leaned on Liu Xuan's shoulder and said happily, "I feel so happy to have you by my side. Actually, going out for a walk and seeing different scenery can really make you feel better."
The next day, they arrived at Lingyin Temple. The temple was filled with the gentle smoke of incense and the sound of chanting, instantly calming their hearts. Liu Xuan and Li Yuan devoutly prayed before the Buddha statue, hoping for the health and safety of their family and for a bright future for the children in the mountainous areas.
After leaving Lingyin Temple, Liu Xuan said, "Honey, let's go to Jiuxi Yanshu next. I heard it has beautiful scenery and babbling brooks, perfect for taking pictures."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Great! I brought my camera with me, let's take lots of beautiful photos."
Upon arriving at Jiuxi Yanshu, the scenery was indeed as captivating as Liu Xuan had described. The stream was crystal clear, revealing the stones and aquatic plants at the bottom. The surrounding area was shaded by lush trees, and the occasional birdsong could be heard.
Li Yuan excitedly picked up her camera, snapping photos here and there. Liu Xuan, meanwhile, acted as her "personal photographer," guiding Li Yuan in various poses.
"Wife, stand under that big tree, smile, yes, just like that, click!" Liu Xuan said as he pressed the shutter.
"Oh dear, did you take a good picture? Don't make me look ugly," Li Yuan said with some concern.
Liu Xuan said confidently, "Don't worry, with my skills, I'll definitely take beautiful pictures of you. When we get back, I'll develop these photos and hang them in our house."
The two spent the afternoon playing at Jiuxi Yanshu, reluctantly leaving only as the sun began to set. Back at the hotel that evening, although somewhat tired, their faces were beaming with happiness.
On the third day, Liu Xuan suggested going to Xixi Wetland. They took a small boat and cruised through the wetland's waterways. Dense reeds lined both sides, and wild ducks occasionally took flight from the water.
Li Yuan exclaimed, "The ecological environment here is so good, it feels like a paradise on earth."
Liu Xuan said, "Yes, I never expected there to be such a beautiful place in Hangzhou. If we have the chance in the future, we can bring our families here."
In the wetlands, they also saw many interesting plants and animals. Liu Xuan, like a child, kept introducing them to Li Yuan. Seeing his excited expression, Li Yuan felt a warm glow in her heart.
Time always flies when you're on a trip, and before we knew it, it was time to go home. At the airport, Liu Xuan said with a touch of reluctance, "Honey, this trip was really fun. Let's travel more often when we have the chance."
Li Yuan nodded: "Okay, but next time we can go somewhere else. I really owe you a lot this time; you helped me relax."
Liu Xuan smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? You've done so many good things for the children in the mountains, this is all you deserve. If you have any more charitable projects in the future, I will definitely give them my full support."
Li Yuan leaned on Liu Xuan's shoulder and said happily, "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything. Let's work together to let more people feel warmth."
As the boarding announcement came on, they held hands and began their journey home. This trip to Hangzhou not only relaxed them but also deepened their bond. And Li Yuan's kind heart will continue to bring hope and warmth to many others in the future.
