Welcome home!
As soon as the cabin door of the private helicopter opened, Lin Yi and her staff lined up neatly in two rows in front of the aircraft and bowed in unison!
"Whoa!"
The grand spectacle startled An Xinmeng and her two roommates, while Lin Jicheng seemed unfazed. She waved for everyone to disperse and stepped off the private jet first. The private helipad was conveniently located next to the back garden of the courtyard house. As the three roommates disembarked from their modern transportation, they stumbled upon the most elegant and classically beautiful area—
What greets the eye is no longer the dazzling night view of the capital, but a tranquil and classical private garden. The air is filled with the elegant fragrance of flowers and plants, and the spring water in the pond is gurgling. Whether it is the arched bridge made of white marble, the elegant rockery on the water, or the octagonal pavilion with flying eaves and brackets, everything looks so exquisite!
Seeing all this, An Xinmeng and the other two were stunned—
I'm still in the capital! Didn't I accidentally travel to a classical garden in Suzhou?
"Ji Cheng, is this... your home?"
Qiao Lingyuan asked cautiously, her voice tinged with uncertainty:
"We're sure we didn't accidentally fly into some tourist attraction, right?"
Lin Jicheng smiled:
"This is one of my residences in the capital..."
"It's a bit far from the school, so I only come back to stay here occasionally!"
"Make yourselves at home, feel free to do as you please!"
As Lin Jicheng spoke, he led the group through the garden and into the house—
Even without in-depth knowledge of ancient architecture, An Xinmeng and her companions were astonished to discover that this garden was no ordinary courtyard house; its vast size and luxurious scale made it comparable to a prince's mansion.
Stepping on the warm, golden bricks, and passing through the winding corridors, every detail of the courtyard house exudes understated luxury.
Classical palace lanterns hang under the eaves, their soft light illuminating the beauty of the courtyard at night. Passing through the covered corridor, the rows of pillars are all made of understated yet luxurious golden nanmu wood, cool and delicate to the touch. Exquisite window lattices are covered with soft gauze curtains, adding a touch of hazy classical beauty to this space.
As the group ventured deeper into the courtyard, An Xinmeng and the other two's mouths gaped wider and wider. Finally, Lin Jicheng led them into the main hall where guests were received—
Here, a profound sense of history washes over you. The high ceilings create an incredibly spacious atmosphere, while the uniform rosewood furniture, silk tapestry landscape screens, and jade-glazed flowerpots add an air of understated luxury.
Having never been to such an environment before, An Xinmeng, Qiao Lingyuan, and Xu Qingning were all a little reserved. It was as if they had accidentally wandered into an ancient time and space, and even their breathing unconsciously became softer.
"So...are we having dinner here tonight?"
An Xinmeng asked cautiously:
"This room is full of cultural relics, isn't it? If I accidentally break anything, I couldn't afford to pay for it even if I sold myself..."
Lin Jicheng was amused by her appearance:
"It's not that easy to destroy... Besides, aren't things made to be used by people? There's no need to worry about these things!"
"Just make yourselves at home and relax!"
Lin Jicheng naturally led everyone to the back dining room, guiding them to a huge rosewood table inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Bone china tableware was already set on it. After everyone was seated, a stunning array of delicious food appeared one by one—
Grilled abalone with a runny yolk, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, steamed wild yellow croaker, boiled cabbage in clear broth...
Lin Jicheng's professional team creates a variety of delicious dishes, bringing everyone the ultimate enjoyment!
"Wow……"
If the group was a little awkward and uneasy when they first arrived at the courtyard, they completely relaxed and became immersed in the delicious food after it appeared!
"This is so delicious!"
An Xinmeng ate with great relish, squinting his eyes to savor the savory flavor of the broth bursting on his tongue, thoroughly enjoying himself.
"This is truly the best meal I've had in a while!"
"Yes, it's really delicious!"
Qiao Lingyuan enjoyed the food and exclaimed:
"Today we ate all Chinese specialties, which are a perfect match for this classic Chinese courtyard house!"
"Yes, the food is good, and the environment is nice too..."
While enjoying the delicious food, Xu Qingning didn't forget to praise it:
"Thank you, Jicheng... Today has been truly eye-opening!"
After dinner, it was time to digest. Lin Jicheng led everyone through the small garden, and after a few minutes of strolling, they passed through a moon gate and arrived at the most private courtyard in the entire courtyard house.
Here, the group even spotted a private spa room—
"How big is your house?! How come we've been walking for so long and still haven't reached the end?!"
Qiao Lingyuan exclaimed in surprise, "You know, this is inside the Second Ring Road of Beijing!"
It's already amazing to find a courtyard house here, let alone this enormous one that looks like it covers hundreds of acres...
Its value is beyond imagination and immeasurable!
The people who live here are not simply "rich and powerful," but rather those who truly wield supreme power!
Qiao Lingyuan was secretly shocked, and her understanding of Lin Jicheng's wealth reached a new level!
Lin Jicheng appeared quite calm and answered with a smile:
"Since it was just sitting empty anyway, we might as well build a few more functional rooms..."
"Everyone must be tired! A spa treatment would be perfect!"
Inside the warm and comfortable room, several top-notch massage therapists were already waiting. The massage oil was made from dozens of precious materials, including sandalwood, myrrh, and ambergris. The aroma was elegant and profound, and it could calm people down as soon as they smelled it!
The four of them lay neatly on the soft massage bed, feeling the masseuse's professional massage techniques, their noses filled with a fragrant aroma, finally truly relaxing...
The four of them, having eaten and drunk their fill and enjoying themselves comfortably, naturally started chatting. Lin Jicheng, while squinting and enjoying a massage, opened his phone and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing it:
"My God, have you guys seen the walls of Peking University's campus?!"
"What?! What's going on?!"
The other three perked up immediately, quickly opened their phones, and then saw a familiar scene on them—
"Isn't this the small square in front of the freshman dormitory building that we were just here?"
"Is this video recorded by onlookers?"
An Xinmeng was the first to react:
"The netizens at our school are incredibly fast! They've already compiled the whole story into a PDF and posted it? Amazing speed..."
"Everyone's efficiency when it comes to gossiping is unparalleled..."
Xu Qingning also sighed.
"Hey wait a minute! Look at the comments section, there's more juicy gossip!"
Qiao Lingyuan suddenly called out.
