The hotel's hot spring bath was exceptionally comfortable, with separate pools for men and women. Sitting in the steaming hot spring, all fatigue vanished. Ye Qingqing was reluctant to leave, as were Cui Shi and Master Nie. They had originally planned to return to Kyoto that night, but after soaking in the hot spring for so long, they decided to stay another night before heading back.

The environment was very quiet at night. It was the first time Ye Qingqing had ever slept on a mat on the floor, and she found it very novel. However, after soaking in the hot spring, she fell asleep quickly and slept until dawn, when she was woken up by the cawing of crows.

There are many crows here, cawing incessantly.

"If only we had come here from the beginning, we could have played golf during the day, soaked in hot springs at night, and stayed for a week." The old lady was reluctant to leave, as was Gu Nianci. They both preferred tranquility to the bustling city of Kyoto.

Sang Wanhua disagreed. She preferred lively places. She could stay in such places occasionally, but she would go crazy if she stayed there for too long.

"I'll come again when I have time. Transportation is so convenient now, it only takes two or three hours by plane, so I can come anytime. I can even go skiing in the north!"

Sang Wanhua's suggestion greatly appealed to the old lady and Gu Nianci, but they had no interest in skiing.

"With my old arms and legs, what's the point of skiing? I'll break my leg and then it'll be too late to regret it. I love it here, it's so beautiful, it's just a bit inconvenient to buy things." The old lady said with some regret.

Although the hotel had everything, I still wanted to go out for a stroll. Going out was really inconvenient; I couldn't speak the language, there was nowhere to hail a taxi, and I couldn't take the bus. Apart from that, the old lady was satisfied with everything else.

“Let’s come again in the future. I heard that if you come often, you can apply for a multiple-entry visa-free visa. I’ll ask around and come here for vacation whenever I have time,” Ye Qingqing said with a smile.

As long as the old lady is happy, money is a small matter; she's not short of money anyway.

The group left the hotel chatting and laughing. Ding Ba and the others also went home. They would stay for a few more days before returning to Pingjiang. Ye Qingqing noticed that Miao Tianxiong hadn't said much all day and seemed to have the air of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

As for Li Wuming, on his second day in Kyoto, he went out to have fun with Ruan Yingzi. Ruan Yingzi was familiar with the area and could speak the local dialect. She took Li Wuming around to explore. Since they had Hong Kong passports, they could stay here for three months, so they separated from Ye Qingqing and the others and had different itineraries, so they couldn't have fun together.

Besides, these two are so lovey-dovey, how could they tolerate any other third wheels? Everyone has the sense to know better than to bother them!

The return journey was still along winding mountain roads, but Cui Shi no longer felt carsick and was in good spirits. It seemed that the mysterious person hadn't done anything wrong and was probably wary of Wuchen.

First, they took Cui Shi and Master Nie to their hotel, and then took Xiao Tong there as well. Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo rushed off to meet Inukai Natsu's friends. Inukai Natsu had to go to work, so she traveled back with Ye Qingqing and the others.

"My friend isn't very good at socializing, so please forgive him for any rudeness he may have shown."

Before meeting, Natsumi Inukai explained that she was afraid Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo would be unhappy.

"It was our rudeness to visit you so abruptly. It is our honor that your friend is willing to meet us," Lu Mo said politely.

Natsumi Inukai was relieved. On the way to his friend's house, he told him some funny stories about him and his friend. His friend's name was a bit long, Sasaki Kojiro. He probably had two older brothers, Taro and Jiro. That's the naming convention here.
