"Pretty girl!"
The old lady chuckled twice, then came out carrying her tray and approached Lu Qing.
"Pretty girl, this beautiful dessert is for you!"
Lu Qing asked in surprise, "Me?"
The old lady smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
"Thank you!" Lu Qing quickly took the plate with both hands.
The plate contains a peach-shaped pudding, slightly translucent, which looks very fresh and appealing.
Lu Qing took a bite and immediately gave a thumbs up: "It's so good!"
"Baby, do you know? You're just like a peach, Lovely and watery!"
The old lady looked at Lu Qing with eyes full of admiration and joy.
Lu Qing stood up and hugged her according to the local etiquette:
Thank you! You're also a cute grandma.
The old lady gently hugged Lu Qing and said with a smile:
"Have a great day!"
Breakfast was very enjoyable. To thank the old lady, Lu Qing gave her a talisman before leaving.
The old lady didn't know how powerful the amulet was; she was just happy to receive the gift.
After breakfast, they went to the museum.
In that place, Lu Qing saw many ancient artifacts belonging to China.
These ancient artifacts have been around for so long that each one has acquired a spirit; Lu Qing could hear them talking as soon as he entered.
"Look! More of our compatriots have arrived!"
"Hello! My friends, I really hope you've come to take us home!"
"Don't think about it! We may never be able to go back!"
"Impossible! I believe they won't abandon us. We're just staying here temporarily. One day, we will definitely return to our true home!"
"..."
Looking at the antiques through the glass window of the display case, Lu Qing said softly:
"It definitely will!"
"One day, the motherland will surely bring you home!"
Upon hearing this, the artifacts cheered:
"Did you hear that? They haven't forgotten us. She said she'll take us home!"
"We will definitely be able to wait until the day we can go home!"
As they left the museum, many of them had tears in their eyes.
Seeing that they were in a bad mood, Eric tried to lighten the mood:
"Wow! Look ahead, there's an incredibly handsome guy!"
No one reacted at all.
Eric quickly added, "How about I take a picture for you guys? To commemorate the occasion!"
"No need! Eric, no Chinese person who walks out of this museum can possibly be smiling," Gu Xicheng said.
Eric shrugged: "Okay!"
"Although I am a citizen of this country, I also know that it is shameless to break into someone else's home, steal their things, and display them in your own home."
"I knew I shouldn't have brought you here. It's ruined your mood," Eric said, his voice filled with regret.
Lu Qing exhaled and said:
“Even if you didn’t bring us, we still had to come. Even if we can’t take them with us for the time being, we can’t just ignore them.”
“Alright! I’ll take you to lunch now. Maybe if you eat some delicious food, you’ll be happier,” Eric said with a smile.
Let's go!
After getting into the car, Lu Qing took one last look at the museum.
Actually, she wasn't entirely without a way to take away the cultural relics belonging to China, but doing so would be too sensational and the consequences could be quite serious.
Such matters should be left to our motherland. When the sleeping dragon fully awakens one day, no one will dare to invade it again.
After lunch, Eric took them to the London Eye.
Once on the Ferris wheel, they slowly ascended as it turned, until they reached the highest point and looked down upon the entire city.
The unpleasantness of the morning gradually disappeared, replaced by a feeling of physical and mental comfort.
A gentle breeze caressed her face, and the distant scenery unfolded before her eyes. Lu Qing was engrossed in watching, unaware that she had also become a part of the scenery in Gu Xicheng's eyes.
Suddenly, Lu Qing felt something on her neck.
Looking down, she saw that it was an incredibly extravagant diamond necklace that Gu Xicheng had put on her.
"When did you buy it?" Lu Qing asked, overjoyed.
Gu Xicheng replied with a smile, "I bought it a long time ago. Do you like it?"
Lu Qing nodded repeatedly: "I like it."
Lu Qing didn't care much about the jewelry, but she did care about Gu Xicheng's feelings.
A man's willingness to spend money on you doesn't necessarily mean he loves you, but if he's not even willing to spend money on you, then he definitely doesn't love you.
This is what her teacher's wife taught her.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, the group strolled around the nearby streets and bought some souvenirs.
As it was getting dark, Eric took them to the cruise ship.
"This cruise ship hosts parties every now and then. It's very lively, and everyone can go up and perform. The person who gets the most votes will receive a personal welcome from the cruise ship owner."
"I heard that the owner of the cruise ship is a person who loves to eat. He employs a whole team of Michelin chefs who can make the most delicious food in the world."
"If you win, you'll have the chance to taste it."
Lu Qing wasn't interested in anything else, but when it came to food, she got really into it.
"What is the main focus of this performance?" Lu Qing asked.
Eric: "Anything is fine, as long as I can get everyone's votes."
Lu Qing glanced at his friends and realized that only Ruan Yinchen seemed to have any talent.
"Ruan Yinchen, whether we can have a big meal depends on you!" Lu Qing encouraged.
Ruan Yinchen was immediately at a loss for words:
“Performing traditional opera is no problem, but the question is whether these foreigners can understand it?”
Gu Fei: "Who cares? It would be best if we could get the votes, but if not, we'll figure something out."
"At worst, let Qingqing go up and perform a fortune telling act."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing spat out the drink he had just taken a sip of:
What do you want me to perform?
Gu Fei: "Fortune telling! Foreigners have never seen anything like it. In order to get a fancy meal, you should be able to tell the fortunes of a few people, right?"
Lu Qing: "Um... no problem, no problem, it's just that I'm afraid it would be terrible if the calculations turned out to be wrong."
After all, her constitution is so evil; if she manages to kill one person after another, we're doomed.
Gu Fei's lips twitched: "It shouldn't be that weird!"
Liu Manyun: "How about... I go and calculate it?"
Lu Qing's eyes lit up: "How could I have forgotten you?"
"Man Yun is from the Tianji Sect; she's even better at fortune telling!"
Lu Qing patted Liu Manyun on the shoulder and said solemnly:
"Manyun, whether your idol can have a big meal tonight depends on you."
Liu Manyun was flattered: "Idol, just for your trust, I promise I'll make sure this big meal is worth it for you!"
After saying that, Liu Manyun became as energetic as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
