Seeing He Tingyan's fooled expression, Wen Xi tried hard to suppress her laughter, blinked, and said, "Where are we going to play next, or are we going home?"
"Go to Xizi Pagoda." He Tingyan said in a deep voice.
Fortunately, he made a plan in advance.
There will always be new things in the west. How can we just end our first official date like this?
He will keep it in his heart and savor it for the rest of his life.
Located outside the city, Xizi Pagoda has a long history and is well-known throughout the country for a love story. It is a place where many believers seek their marriage. The Star-Picking Pavilion on its nine-story pagoda is especially popular among couples.
It is said that if you hang a love lock there, you will surely live together until old age.
As the New Year approaches, a lantern festival is held in the scenic area, which is bustling with people. There are even many couples queuing up to buy locks under the Zhaixing Pavilion.
To show his sincerity, one man even climbed to the top of the tower step by step without carrying his girlfriend on his back.
He Tingyan squatted down upon seeing this, and followed suit, saying to Wen Xi, "Come up."
"No need for that." Wen Xi didn't care about these formalities.
"Yes, you should have what others have too." He Tingyan squatted on the ground and refused to get up. His posture was so serious.
“…”
Seeing his insistence, Wen Xi had no choice but to lie on his back obediently.
The man's back is broad and strong, giving a full sense of security.
The Xizi Tower is very tall, with nine floors. In the end, only a few people were actually carried up. Most of them just did it for the sake of showing off, carrying one or two floors and then going up together with the rest.
Thinking that He Tingyan hadn't slept for two days, Wen Xi also wanted to come down, but He Tingyan refused to let her.
“You must have what others don’t have.”
After the man finished speaking, he tightened his grip.
With steady steps, he carried Wen Xi to the top floor, attracting many people's attention along the way.
Many girls pulled their boyfriends' ears, rolled their eyes, and cursed, "Look at me! I asked you to carry one layer and you said you couldn't, but I carried a full nine layers!"
"We are both men, why can others do it but you can't?"
"Humph, I see through it! You don't love me at all!"
The men were scolded so hard that they dared not even fart.
So while Wen Xi received a wave of envious glances, He Tingyan also attracted a lot of hatred...
After reaching the top floor, He Tingyan gently put Wen Xi down, and with a serious look on his face, he took out the love lock from his arms and looked for a place to hang it.
The chains on the white jade railings were covered with love locks of various shapes and sizes. The two of them finally found a spot to hang them. He Tingyan was about to take a picture when the cleaning lady came over with a broom and said, "Make way, young man, sweep the trash."
The romantic atmosphere was suddenly broken.
After the aunt cleaned up the fruit peels on the ground neatly, she straightened the chains in the area she had just cleaned, then skillfully took out a key from her pocket, picked out several rusty locks on the chain, opened them all and threw them into the trash bag.
As he threw the trash, he muttered, "There's only so much space. Even if I throw the trash every day, it won't be enough."
Looking at the half-filled bag of love locks in the aunt's hand that had been thrown away as garbage, He Tingyan was shocked.
He always had a blank expression on his face, and it was difficult for him to even frown. It was the first time that Wen Xi saw him doubting his life, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Are men so fragile?
Wen Xi could only pat his shoulder and comfort him, "Alright, why are you taking it so seriously? These are just gimmicks, don't take them seriously."
He Tingyan frowned and said nothing, immersed in the frustration of the date...
The guides are all lies!
It was completely different from what he imagined!
