At this moment, the bus stopped on the side of the road.
Yan Ning quickly wiped her mouth, pretending nothing had happened.
She nudged Xie Huaiye next to her with her elbow:
"Well, you've been kind enough to keep my head from getting stiff today. We're here, get off the bus!"
Xie Huaiye showed no expression and stepped out of the car with a long stride.
Yan Ning quickly followed.
Su Muyao followed behind the two.
She stared at Yan Ning's heels, her eyes flickering.
She was seething with anger, and her eyes darted around.
He wanted to take advantage of the chaos of getting off the bus to trip Yan Ning and make her stumble.
She seized the opportunity and deliberately hooked her foot forward!
But Yan Ning's steps were both quick and steady.
Like a nimble cat, it leaped down the steps in an instant.
Su Muyao missed her kick and lost her balance.
With a cry of "Ouch!", he almost tripped and fell flat on his face at the car door.
He scrambled to steady himself by holding onto the door frame.
She was so angry that her face turned red.
"Damn it..."
She watched Yan Ning's oblivious back and stomped her foot hard.
He followed after her, gritting his teeth.
Everyone got off the bus, and the view suddenly opened up before them.
The huge archway is inscribed with four simple and ancient characters: Longling Water Town.
It is indeed a large town built along the water.
A clear river meanders through the town, its waters gurgling and flowing.
On the shore, several middle-aged women dressed in coarse cloth were squatting on the bluestone slabs.
He pounded the clothes with a "bang bang bang" sound.
Sunlight shines on the stone pavement.
In the small courtyard not far away.
Freshly washed clothes hung on bamboo poles, swaying gently in the wind.
The air was filled with the clean scent of soapberry and sunshine.
A smiling, middle-aged man in a crisp black long gown came forward to greet them.
He must be the town mayor.
"A warm welcome to all the big stars who have come to our Longling Water Town to film a program!"
The town mayor spoke in a loud voice, his face full of enthusiasm.
At this moment, Zhou Tian walked directly in front of the crowd carrying a large bamboo basket:
"Everyone, please hand over your phones. They will be kept safe during the recording period."
"Oh? You're accepting it already..."
"Director Zhou, please make an exception!"
The guests immediately sighed and reluctantly took their phones out of their bags.
They put it into the basket like a precious treasure.
When it was Xie Huaiye's turn...
He had just taken out his phone when Zhou Tian waved his hand:
"Young Master Xie, you are a very busy person, and the company cannot do without you."
"You don't need to hand over your phone. This is a special case, so we'll handle it specially."
Xie Huaiye didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
He calmly put his phone back into his suit pocket.
Yan Ning, who was standing nearby, saw everything clearly and couldn't help but think to herself:
Pshaw, so what if you own a company? Giving special treatment!
She silently rolled her eyes.
I think this rule is extremely unfair.
After collecting the phones, Zhou Tian, along with his staff and the basket of treasures, boarded the bus.
With a whoosh, it drove off.
Only a few buzzing drones remained hovering in the air.
"Mayor!"
Sun Wuji clutched his stomach and grinned as he leaned closer, "Look, we've been on the road for ages, our stomachs are growling!"
"What are some of the best local delicacies in our water town? Why don't you take us to try them?"
Qi Minghao quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! We're starving! Mayor, help!"
The mayor was amused and waved his hand, "No problem! Come with me! I guarantee you'll eat until you can't walk!"
The group followed the town mayor.
We walked through the narrow alley paved with bluestone slabs, winding and turning.
We arrived at the entrance of a shop with a sign that read "Linshuixuan".
This shop has an antique feel, with wooden doors and windows.
Two faded red lanterns still hung at the entrance.
The town mayor whispered a few words to a shopkeeper behind the counter who was also wearing an old-fashioned jacket.
The shopkeeper nodded and immediately turned around to go to the kitchen to get things ready.
Yan Ning looked around curiously.
This water town is a bit like a time capsule.
The waiter in the shop was wearing a short jacket with Chinese knot buttons.
The guests who came to eat were all dressed in similar long gowns or old-fashioned cloth clothes.
Even stranger is...
She noticed a customer finish his meal and pay the bill, but instead of cash, he pulled out neither a banknote nor a cell phone.
Instead, they were several shiny metal pieces engraved with special patterns!
The shopkeeper accepted it without hesitation.
"Pay with...with copper coins?"
Yan Ning muttered to herself, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
But before I could get a good look, I was interrupted by my companions' greetings.
Before long, the steaming hot food was served.
The steamed river fish was incredibly tender, the braised pork hock was glistening and tempting, and the bright green wild vegetables had a refreshing aroma.
There was also a large bowl of snow-white fish ball soup, the aroma of which wafted straight into my nose.
Everyone was starving and didn't care about their appearance.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and ate with great relish!
Sun Wuji and Qi Minghao ate without even looking up.
Su Muyao sat diagonally opposite Yan Ning.
Seeing Yan Ning eating with such satisfaction, he felt a surge of anger rising within him again.
She pretended to pick up some food, but her elbow accidentally twisted sharply to the side!
"Oops!" A small dish of sauce that Yan Ning had placed on the table was spilled.
The dark sauce spilled out instantly.
It looked like her light-colored clothes were about to get dirty!
Yan Ning reacted extremely quickly, almost reflexively leaning back!
The sauce made a "splat" sound.
It was all spilled onto the open ground behind her.
"Su Muyao! What are you doing?!"
Yan Ning frowned, somewhat annoyed.
Su Muyao immediately put on an innocent expression:
