System: Master Your Life-Chapter 784 - 195: Romantic National Day Trip with Chi Linyue (Part 2)

"Xu Lin, what are we eating tonight?"

"Of course, we're having a feast. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, shouldn't we eat something nice?"

Soon, everyone arrived at the destination.

It was a Chinese restaurant with various cuisines, without a specific style.

But the price wasn't cheap, with an average spending of over five hundred per person.

So even though many restaurants had long queues outside, it didn't affect this place.

The world is still mostly ordinary people; it's unlikely someone would spend thousands on a meal.

"This restaurant isn't cheap."

Lin Yajing picked up the menu and found that many dishes were priced at several hundred each.

"Xu Lin, are we really eating at this restaurant?"

Yu Xinyan also asked him.

"Let's eat here. We're already familiar, so don't worry about the price. It's Mid-Autumn, spending a bit more isn't a big deal."

The mother and daughter didn't say anything more.

The meal cost Xu Lin over two thousand, which wasn't much considering his current spending level.

Plus, the food was truly enjoyable.

After eating, it was already dark.

Xu Lin accompanied the mother and daughter for some shopping.

At this time in the evening, the Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere was everywhere.

The three arrived at a pedestrian street where there were many Mid-Autumn activities.

Xu Lin and Yu Xinyan participated in lantern riddle guessing.

Afterwards, the three went to watch a dragon and lion dance nearby.

The drum beating and gongs were loud, the dragon and lion dance scene was lively, with many spectators and a festive atmosphere.

In big cities, it's really not easy to find that holiday feeling, just like during the New Year; big cities can't have fireworks, and the New Year atmosphere feels quite dull.

"Ladies, did you enjoy yourselves tonight?"

Xu Lin asked the mother and daughter.

Lin Yajing, true to her name, being calm and graceful, said, "It was nice. You young folks being happy is more important to me."

"Xu Lin, I had a great time!" The young Yu Xinyan was much more lively, pressing Xu Lin's shoulders from behind and playing like a child.

"Glad you're happy."

Xu Lin accompanied the mother and daughter until nine in the evening, and after sending them back to the hotel, he drove to Chi Linyue's apartment complex.

Because he'd asked her to come out in advance, Chi Linyue was already waiting for him at the entrance.

"Get in the car."

"Want a mooncake?"

Chi Linyue took out a box of mooncakes.

"Leave it in the car. We'll eat it later."

"Are we taking the high-speed train?"

"Of course, you don't know how jammed the roads are. Check the map for these routes."

Chi Linyue checked and indeed, it showed traffic jams.

Big traffic jams.

So taking the high-speed train was better, and even if there wasn't traffic, driving would take over four hours, but the high-speed train was only around two hours.

It was about ten p.m. now, and they were expected to check into the hotel by two a.m.

"Then let's head to the train station."

"Let's buy tickets first."

"Okay."

Chi Linyue bought two tickets, rushing to catch the last train.

Half an hour later, Xu Lin parked the car at the train station's parking lot.

Finally, they boarded the train right on time, almost missing it.

They got two seats together, with Xu Lin sitting by the aisle and Chi Linyue on the inside.

She sat for a while, feeling it's not quite right.

"Sit over here." Chi Linyue said.

"Why?"

"Just sit down."

Xu Lin thought Chi Linyue wanted to switch seats with him.

Once Xu Lin sat by the window, Chi Linyue sat on his lap, leaning sideways in his arms and let Xu Lin's hands hold her from behind.

Chi Linyue rested her head on Xu Lin's shoulder, happily saying, "This feels more secure!"

"I thought you wanted to switch seats." Xu Lin supported her hips.

She was wearing sweatpants today, quite thin, the fabric felt nice.

And because it was thin, he could touch her hips.

The feeling.

Absolutely perfect!

"Isn't this switching spots?"

Chi Linyue gave Xu Lin a peck on the cheek.

"Where are we going to have fun tomorrow?"

Chi Linyue asked him.

Xu Lin: "I thought of an activity today; we're going kayaking down a mountain – very thrilling."

"Kayaking?"

"Yes, it's exciting. Do you want to go? It's way better than just checking off attractions."

"I want to go!"

Chi Linyue thought about it; visiting attractions was mostly just walking, checking off lists, taking pictures, not really traveling, right?

"And after kayaking?"

"Then we're going to do the hot air balloon project, see from the sky."

"Isn't it dangerous? I read in the news about hot air balloon accidents, falling and getting killed."

"I'll carry a parachute, and if something happens, I'll hold you and jump!"

"Will you hold me the entire time?"

"Are you kidding? Should I throw you off mid-air?"

"Hey, just make sure you hold me tight!"

"Is your love-driven mind acting up?"

"I admit it, I'm a little bit love-driven."

Chi Linyue held up her index finger.

"Besides kayaking and hot air balloons, what's next? What about our third day?"

"After two days of thrill, the third day we'll relax, like visiting Qixia Mountain to see the red leaves."

"Sounds romantic!"

Chi Linyue started to feel excited.

"And there's one more thing!"

"What?"

"You haven't touched me in a month."

Chi Linyue whispered.

"Didn't you deal with it yourself?"

"Gross! Don't ask! Just know you have a job tonight!"

"Don't worry, I'll satisfy you, you cheeky one!"

"You're awful! Don't you like me being cheeky? Anyway, how am I cheeky? I'm charming and graceful!"

"Haha..."

The two bantered playfully.

Unknowingly, they arrived at the Jinling High-speed Train Station.
