Where are we going today?
At 2 PM on Monday, Xia Wenxi got into Lin Shen's car, eager to know their destination for the day.
Today was sunny and clear, with no snow. The afternoon sun was warm and pleasant. Going out in this kind of weather would be a very enjoyable experience. I just don't know if they will be able to see the snow.
Lin Shen handed Xia Wenxi a lunchbox and then told her, "We're going to Daiguan Mountain today. It's about a two-and-a-half-hour drive after leaving the city."
The lunchbox was half strawberries and half cherries, their bright red color quite appealing. Xia Wenxi usually didn't like to eat while traveling, but the sweet strawberry aroma that greeted her upon opening the lunchbox whetted her appetite.
Moreover, Xia Wenxi had taken motion sickness medicine and applied motion sickness patches in advance, feeling that she had made full preparations!
She popped a strawberry into her own mouth and then popped one into Lin Shen's mouth as well.
"Set off!"
Whether it was the motion sickness medication or not, Xia Wenxi fell asleep before she even finished a box of fruit. When she woke up, she realized that they had already left the city.
"I suspect that motion sickness medicine contains sleeping pills, which would make people dizzy and prevent them from getting motion sickness."
Lin Shen glanced at the navigation. "We still have an hour to go. If you're sleepy, you can sleep a little longer."
Xia Wenxi shook her head, "I'm not going to sleep."
The snow in the city has mostly melted, but outside the city, you can still see traces of the previous snowfall, with many treetops still covered in white.
"The weather forecast clearly said it would snow today, but the sun is so bright. If it doesn't snow, won't we just be able to enjoy the sun if we go up the mountain?"
"The temperature is low in the mountains, so it might rain."
Nobody can predict the weather, and it's probably pointless to say anything now. Since we're already here, let's just enjoy the sunshine.
The hotel is built on a mountaintop, but the car has to stop halfway up the mountain, and then you have to transfer to the hotel's shuttle.
Xia Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she could take a car up; otherwise, she would have preferred to camp halfway up the mountain.
As for why it was necessary to take the hotel's car to get up there, Xia Wenxi thought while gripping the handrail... it was probably because the hotel didn't trust the guests' driving skills.
Although the road looked a bit treacherous, the scenery was undeniably beautiful. On one side of the road were mountains, and on the other side were dense forests with snow still clinging to the trees. At that moment, the golden sunset shone on the trees, as if covering the forest with a halo.
There were also some unidentified little birds on the branches, chirping every now and then, only to be startled by the sound of passing cars and fly to another tree.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the hotel was not what Xia Wenxi had imagined. Instead, it consisted of wooden buildings built along the mountainside, somewhat similar to the farmhouse she had stayed at before, only smaller, probably due to the terrain.
After hearing Xia Wenxi's explanation, Lin Shen said, "Actually, these two hotels are owned by the same person, so they do have many similarities."
"ah?"
Xia Wenxi exclaimed in surprise, "How can there be people in this world who are so good at making money?!"
She fell in love with the house the moment she saw it and really wanted to see who the owner was.
"Next time I go to Jinjiang for a meeting, you can come with me if you're free. Maybe we'll run into each other."
The two were staying in different rooms in the same building today. The hotel staff brought their luggage and then left.
Xia Wenxi couldn't wait to see the room, and upon hearing Lin Shen's words, she asked curiously, "What meeting?"
"It's a conference similar to an annual business meeting, held every March or April. This year it was held in Fancheng, and next year it will probably be in Jinjiang. I'll definitely go if I hear about it."
"March and April are the time for the re-examination, let's talk about it then. I'll go with you after the re-examination."
"good."
The cabin isn't very big. You go up the stairs to the balcony, and from the middle of the balcony you enter a small hall, which looks like it's also used as a dining room. There's a room on each side of the small hall.
There is a staircase at the back leading to the second floor, which is a large observation deck and another room, an attic with a triangular roof and skylight.
The log cabin is not old, but it is tall enough that you don’t feel cramped when you stand in the attic.
"I want to stay in this room!"
"Okay, I'll help you bring your luggage up. Would you like to go for a walk later, or rest at the hotel?"
Xia Wenxi thought for a moment and said there was no rush. "It's getting dark. Let's rest for a while and then have dinner. We can go out and take a look tomorrow."
After Lin Shen brought Xia Wenxi's suitcase upstairs, he went out, leaving her alone, and then went downstairs to pack his own luggage.
Xia Wenxi first sent a message in the family group to say that she had arrived, then changed into some pajamas and went downstairs to explore.
She found the brochure on the shelf in the small hall, and sure enough, she saw that familiar name again.
There's actually a domineering CEO surnamed Liu in Jinjiang, he's really something!
After looking at it for a while, she flipped through the menu again, wanting to see what to eat for dinner.
Lin Shen came out at this time. It seemed that he had also changed into a set of home clothes, but his home clothes seemed to be quite different from Xia Wenxi's.
Xia Wenxi looked down at the pink strawberry bear on her body, then looked up at Lin Shen's gray knit sweater and black trousers.
What's going on? Not wearing coral fleece in winter? That's heresy!
"What's wrong?"
Xia Wenxi snapped out of her reverie, shook her head, and waved the menu at him. "I wanted to ask you, is hot pot okay for tonight?"
Lin Shen naturally didn't object. Since it was getting late, the two of them huddled together and ordered their food on their phones.
The winter night came unexpectedly; in the short time it took to order food, it was already completely dark.
However, a soft yellow light also shone outside, making the wooden cabin in the mountains appear even more tranquil.
"Lin Shen, I want to see your room!"
She hadn't looked at the downstairs room earlier, but now that she had, she thought staying downstairs might not be so bad. The room had a large floor-to-ceiling window facing the mountain, and sitting in the rocking chair by the window to enjoy the snow view when it snowed would be wonderful!
Lin Shen noticed her interest and said, "The layout of the other room should be the same. Since it's not just for one night, you can come downstairs to stay tomorrow night."
"OK!"
Xia Wenxi laughed after she finished speaking, "I really am a person who gets bored easily."
Lin Shen laughed and said, "It's fine to be fickle about houses, as long as you don't get tired of people."
"Is Mr. Lin nervous?"
"I'm nervous, afraid that Wenxi won't like me anymore."
Xia Wenxi spoke in a joking tone, but Lin Shen answered seriously.
Xia Wenxi looked at him with a smile, and then playfully poked Lin Shen's chest muscles with her hand.
"You have so little faith in me?"
She seemed to be scolding him, but she was actually taking advantage of him!
