The two went to a nearby restaurant and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. At the table, Wang Yitong also talked about how she had been to Beijing before and went to a Crab Island Resort Hotel, which was in the suburbs but closer to the airport.
"...It was a high school classmate who took me to Crab Island. I still remember the breakfast buffet. I was so full I ate a bowl of rice noodles, a few steamed buns, dumplings, and more. Now that I think about it, no wonder I was so plump back then."
"Haha, you were young and still growing, so being able to eat was a blessing. Look, I can't eat so much now because my stomach and intestines can't digest it anymore." Xu Chengwei said with a smile.
"This is my first time in the north in winter. The temperature outside is so cold that I can finally experience the feeling of shivering. But northerners are lucky that they have indoor heating, unlike the south where there is no heating. Especially in Chengdu, the humidity is too heavy. That's why hot pot was invented. I love spicy food! Fortunately, the houses in Shanghai are equipped with heating, and the houses in Chengdu are also equipped with central air conditioning, otherwise it would be really cold." Wang Yitong continued.
"This is also the reason why I bought a house in Hainan. It's cold in winter and I can go there for vacation. The house prices there have also started to rise. But it doesn't have any long-term impact on me. I chose to work in the university because of its winter and summer vacations. Paid vacations are so nice. I can just think of it as early retirement." Xu Chengwei continued to joke.
The two continued to chat about interesting things. Xu Chengwei listened to her with a smile, occasionally interjecting a few words, making Wang Yitong feel his attention and concern.
After dinner, the two continued driving to a nearby shopping mall, purchased supplies for a few days, and returned to Xu Chengwei's house in Wanliu Academy.
Back inside, they took off their heavy coats and put on light clothes. Xu Chengwai took Wang Yitong to visit each room of the house.
Xu Chengwei introduced the apartment, saying, "The developer has meticulously renovated this apartment. They say they used brands like German Grohe, Swiss LAUFEN, and Gaggenau. Their renovation standards are incredibly high: meeting US LEED Platinum standards, using a US Swift Clean air purification system, US Hornier fresh air, a central vacuum system, exterior wall insulation, a central water purification system, and a 13-stage silent system. The result is a green building with energy consumption, indoor air quality, water quality, and acoustics that rivals international standards. It's a high level of comfort and green building quality! So I bought it then, and I've been coming back occasionally since."
"When I heard your introduction, I felt that the house was very expensive. However, the decoration style here is not what I like. I still like the simple style of solid wood. I prefer the fresh style like IKEA, which is warm." Looking at the layout of the room, Wang Yitong complained.
"Haha, I knew you were going to say that, but I seldom come here, so it doesn't matter if I have to renovate it. This house needs a hostess like you to renovate it." Xu Chengwei said jokingly.
Hearing Xu Chengwei say this, Wang Yitong suddenly became shy. She knew that Xu Chengwei was hinting that he hoped she could become the mistress of this family and work with him to build a warm home.
"Let's do this for now. Yitong, go take a shower first. There is a separate bathroom in the room. You can take a rest. You must be tired after sitting in the car for such a long time. Go to bed early!" After saying that, Xu Chengwei considerately took out the towel, bath towel, slippers and toiletries bought from the supermarket for Wang Yitong.
Wang Yitong felt warm at heart after hearing what Xu Chengwei said. She took the things Xu Chengwei handed over and said with a smile, "Thank you, Chengwei. I'll go wash up and rest first."
Xu Chengwei went to the bathroom outside the living room to wash up, and after finishing his work, he returned to his room and took out his tablet to check his schedule.
Feeling the warmth in the house, Wang Yitong fell asleep quickly. When Wang Xuchengwei entered the bedroom, he saw the sleeping person. He gently lay down in the quilt and hugged Wang Yitong to sleep.
Early in the morning, sunlight streamed through the window. Xu Chengwei rose to prepare breakfast. He walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and pulled out some ingredients. He began to work, frying two eggs, toasting some bread, boiling corn, and steaming buns. He also heated milk for the two of them. He brought breakfast to the dining table, then returned to the bedroom and woke Wang Yitong.
Wang Yitong opened her eyes, put on her pajamas, went into the bathroom, washed up, and came to the dining table.
Xu Chengwei pulled out a chair for Wang Yitong and asked her to sit down, then pushed breakfast in front of her. Wang Yitong saw the breakfast and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She picked up a piece of bread, took a bite, and then drank a sip of hot milk, feeling warm all over.
"This morning is simple, so I'll just eat it like this."
Wang Yitong said while eating, "I rarely cook. You are much better than me. Breakfast is already very rich."
"Most of the food I ate abroad was simple. Later, when I rented a house, I started cooking for myself. After returning to Shanghai, I ate in the cafeteria when I had classes, and I cooked for myself when I didn't. That's part of the fun."
After breakfast, Xu Chengwei and Wang Yitong, wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, hats, and gloves, held hands and first arrived at Tiananmen Square, taking in the solemn atmosphere. Standing in the square, Wang Yitong and Xu Chengwei gazed at the vibrant five-star red flag fluttering in the air, their hearts filled with pride and emotion. They also visited the Monument to the People's Heroes and Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, learning about Chinese history and culture.
Next, they visited the Palace Museum. This ancient palace complex allowed them to experience the majesty and opulence of ancient Chinese royalty. Wang Yitong and Xu Chengwei strolled among the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City, admiring the exquisite architecture and precious artifacts, as if they had traveled back in time to ancient times.
The Forbidden City was packed, but they didn't mind. They walked slowly along the central axis, admiring the architecture and artifacts. Wang Yitong was deeply interested in the history and culture of the Forbidden City, while Xu Chengwei explained it to her.
They arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, one of the largest palaces in the Forbidden City. Wang Yitong stood in front of the palace, feeling the breath of history.
After leaving the Forbidden City, they visited famous attractions such as the Great Wall and the Summer Palace, and felt the history and culture of Beijing.
In addition to historical and cultural attractions, Beijing also boasts numerous modern buildings and entertainment facilities. Wang Yitong and Xu Chengwei visited Olympic venues such as the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, experiencing the charm of modern architecture. They also visited Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, where they sampled a variety of local delicacies and purchased some unique souvenirs.
