Chapter 37 Listening to the Bell Tower



Now that he's in Hainan, Song Ziqing still has tens of thousands of yuan in his hands, as if he hadn't spent any money at all.

Thinking about this, Song Ziqing suddenly realized that the money she spent on the phone call was really nothing to her.

My heart stopped hurting in an instant.

Looking at Lin Chengyu, he smiled and said, "Let's quickly find a hotel, put our luggage away, and take advantage of the early hour to explore Haikou. Neither of us is familiar with this place, so we can have a good time to explore."

The two found a hotel nearby, put their luggage down, and then went downstairs with peace of mind.

After Lin Chengyu confessed to Song Ziqing that he knew her secret, he gave all the gold bars he had to Song Ziqing and asked her to keep them safe.

He only carried a few hundred yuan in cash with him, which he planned to keep for his daily expenses.

He entrusted all the other valuables to Song Ziqing, asking her to keep them safe for him. In this way, he was handing over his family's assets to his future wife, since those treasures were some jewelry and antiques that he had found in various scrap metal shops in Shanghai that he thought had collectible value.

These items are all easy to carry. As for the larger items, Lin Chengyu hid them in the cellar he had secretly dug in his backyard on the outskirts of the city.

He plans to go back once he gains his freedom.

Shanghai is his ancestral home and hometown.

When he's young, he can travel all over the place, but when he gets old, even if he's disappointed with Shanghai, he might want to return to his roots.

He's been reborn, and he's still young; he wants to travel around with Song Ziqing.

In his previous life, he was trapped in the two cities of Shanghai and Hainan. Apart from these two cities, he had never been to any other cities. His biggest wish after being reborn was to travel all over the country and even the world.

Of course, all of this depends on an improvement in the overall economic environment.

The current environment in China is very chaotic. He feels that his wish will only have a chance to be realized when the reform and opening up, and when the development of the whole country revolves around economic development, are implemented.

Now, when Song Ziqing suggested that they take a trip around Haikou, he readily agreed. "We can go and see the clock tower in Haikou. I heard that it is located on the banks of the Haidian River and has a very beautiful view. This European Gothic-style clock tower is very tall and its melodious chimes can be heard within a radius of 500 meters."

"Listening to the bells at dusk sounds romantic, so I'll do as you say and we'll go for a walk around the bell tower area."

Song Ziqing has read many books on the historical changes of various cities. In particular, when she traveled all over the world and across the country, she studied the historical changes of various countries and cities in detail.

As far as she knew, the clock tower in Haikou was completely demolished and rebuilt in the late 1980s, and it was no longer comparable to the original clock tower.

The two left the hotel. Song Ziqing didn't bring anything with her except the camera she had bought in Guangzhou and all the film she had taken.

She planned to capture the clock tower in her camera; she wanted to photograph everything she saw to keep as a memento.

Lin Chengyu listened to Song Ziqing's idea and was very impressed. He looked at her with longing and asked, "Ziqing, can you teach me how to take pictures? I want to learn from you. I'll accompany you wherever you want to go in the future and take pictures of you to make you look beautiful."

"Okay, I will definitely teach you photography carefully. Even if you encounter difficulties in the future, you will be able to find a way to make a living with this skill."

Song Ziqing smiled, a very bright smile. She thought that finding such an understanding and sensible fiancé was not bad.

With him by her side lately, she feels that every day is very fulfilling.

You see, when she first transmigrated, the original owner left her with a mess, and she was worried all the time that Wang Dagang and his group would find out that she was a thief.

Fortunately, thanks to the ring space passed down from the Song family, she was able to hide all the filth inside. When Song Ziqing was not at home, Wang Dagang and his men secretly searched inside and outside the Song family mansion, but they did not find any of the treasures.

He never expected that a young girl like Song Ziqing would have the audacity to break into his house and steal, and also go to their secret hideout, a place known only to his partners and not even to his wife.

Therefore, Wang Dagang never associated the thief with Song Ziqing.

After all, she looked too pure and serene.

Wang Dagang thought he was good at judging people and assumed that Song Ziqing was too proud to be a thief.

He never imagined that the reborn Song Ziqing had become a thief.

When he saw Song Ziqing again, her soul had been replaced.

Song Ziqing is still the same proud Song Ziqing.

The reborn, extreme Song Ziqing is long gone.

Song Ziqing felt that she had swapped souls with the original owner of the body, and that she had also transmigrated to her world to live a good life there in her place.

There's no shortage of food there, and she has a car and a house. If she goes there, she can completely start her life anew.

"Then you'll have to show me all your best skills. I learn things very quickly."

Lin Chengyu loved seeing Song Ziqing smile; her smile was the best medicine to heal the wounds in his heart.

Looking at that smile, he felt very happy.

The two chatted and laughed as they took a tricycle to the clock tower. Once there, Song Ziqing discovered that the entire street was lined with European-style antique buildings, which gave it a strong port culture feel.

Song Ziqing took out his camera and said to Lin Chengyu, "Xiaoyu, let me take a picture for you!"

"Okay, make sure the photo looks good. I hope that when I'm old, I'll still look very good in this picture."

Lin Chengyu has hardly ever had his picture taken since childhood. After all, when he was a child, the country was in a period of turmoil, and he lived with his grandparents. The older generation believed that it was good enough to make their grandson eat and dress well.

His only photo is of him taken when his grandparents turned seventy and a photographer from the city came to their home to take pictures.

It is also his only solo photo.

After his grandparents passed away, he returned to the Lin family. His parents only provided him with food and lodging, but never gave him any pocket money. He gradually developed the habit of wandering the streets, learning from scavengers and collecting garbage to earn pocket money.

At first, he couldn't earn a single penny a day. But gradually, after he figured out Shanghai, his income increased day by day. Later, he even took on a few underlings to help him share the burden, and his income increased even more each day.

However, when he was young, he didn't scheme and only valued loyalty to his underlings. In his previous life, when his parents forced him to go to the countryside, all his underlings became his elder brothers.
