Duoduo went back to find Shen Siyuan, while Dou Dou and her Little Fatty were eating and drinking on the food street.
Only Xiao Yue was leisurely strolling in the Stone Carving Park, admiring various stone statues. The park’s carvings are mainly from the Southern Song Dynasty, including works from the Ming and Qing periods, totaling over 200 statues. The figures range from civil to military officials, each with different postures and expressions, vividly lifelike.
From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Yue had never left Qionghai.
Most of Qionghai’s ancient buildings actually have some Southern Ocean style.
But Si Ming’s ancient architecture is the most authentic with ancient style, of Jiangnan style.
Eloquent and delicate, completely different architectural styles compared to Qionghai, strolling among them gives a sense of transcending time and space, with mountains and rivers blending together.
Her personality is rather aloof, unless instructed by Shen Siyuan, she would never take the initiative to talk to other ghosts, so even when encountering several wandering ghosts, she’d just glance at them and look away, unlike Dou Dou or Duoduo, who would actively approach them.
Just as Xiao Yue leisurely wandered in the Stone Carving Park, Shen Siyuan and the Ruan Hongzhuang family also arrived at the park entrance.
Shen Siyuan hails from Bin Hai, he’s seen enough of the sea and the beach, so naturally, Ruan Xiangqian wouldn’t take him to play by the seaside.
According to the couple’s plan, it’s natural to view Jiangnan’s natural scenery and understand Jiangnan’s cultural architecture.
The Stone Carving Park is an open-air museum showcasing the essence of Southern Song Dynasty carving art and the cultural heritage of royal aristocrats. Naturally, it became one of the top choices for today’s outing.
"I often came here when I was young, I’m very familiar with it."
"Was it your uncle and aunt who brought you here?"
"They had no time, at first, it was organized by the school. Later, when I grew older, I would often come by myself."
Ruan Hongzhuang said, glancing sideways at the couple beside her, Ruan Xiangqian and Jiang Yingxue.
"Why are you looking at us like that? At that time, we were at the busiest stage of our careers, where would we find time to bring you here to play? But we worked hard, wasn’t it all to provide you with a better life?" Jiang Yingxue immediately said.
Ruan Hongzhuang pouted in response.
"It’s as if you wouldn’t work hard without me?"
Actually, what she said was somewhat against her conscience. After she graduated from college, without Ruan Xiangqian and Jiang Yingxue’s funds and connections, it would be impossible to start her business. Because they supported her, she wasn’t afraid of failure, allowing her to move forward fearlessly.
Ruan Hongzhuang never denied this. When she first met Shen Siyuan, she admitted that she relied on her family to achieve her current success.
She has the ability, but in this society, to be successful, having ability alone is not enough.
"Since you’re so familiar with it, you should introduce it to Xiao Shen later, it’s up to you."
"Of course," Ruan Hongzhuang responded readily.
Then she changed the subject, "Then you guys can be responsible for taking our pictures."
Jiang Yingxue: ...
"I’m really in your debt," Jiang Yingxue remarked discontentedly.
"I’ll do it," Ruan Xiangqian volunteered.
"Oh, let’s forget about it, we can take selfies too," Ruan Hongzhuang instantly replied.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"What do you think?" Ruan Hongzhuang said with a smile.
"What else could it mean, complaining about your poor photography skills, right?" Jiang Yingxue added fuel to the fire from the side.
"Rubbish, I’m quite good at taking photos, most of your childhood photos were taken by me," Ruan Xiangqian protested.
"Indeed, most of them were taken by you, but how many of them are actually presentable?" Ruan Hongzhuang said discontentedly.
"Rubbish, my photography skills may not be excellent, but they are decent, why are they not presentable?"
"Heh, →_→" Ruan Hongzhuang expressed disdain.
Shen Siyuan chuckled and asked, "Are the photos still around? I’m really curious."
"Of course they are, I’ll show you when we get back," Jiang Yingxue replied.
"No way, they all look terrible," Ruan Hongzhuang immediately opposed.
"I wouldn’t want to see them if they were nice, but if they’re terrible, I have to take a look," Shen Siyuan said.
"Haha, Xiao Shen got it right, things that look terrible are more interesting," Ruan Xiangqian laughed heartily.
"Huh?"
Just then, Shen Siyuan suddenly looked up and gazed into the park.
"What’s up?"
The Ruan family trio looked at him puzzled.
"Xiao Yue is here too," Shen Siyuan said.
"That’s a coincidence, let’s call her over to join us," Ruan Hongzhuang immediately suggested.
Shen Siyuan nodded, focusing his thoughts and calling Xiao Yue over. Shen Siyuan could sense Xiao Yue, and Xiao Yue naturally sensed Shen Siyuan as well.
Receiving Shen Siyuan’s summons, she immediately headed towards his direction.
Just then, Shen Siyuan looked up at the sky again.
"It seems not only Xiao Yue wants to join us, Duoduo is here too..."
While speaking, the Ruan family trio saw Duoduo suddenly emerge from behind a tree.
"Brother, hehe..."
Duoduo giggled as she walked towards Shen Siyuan.
Ruan Hongzhuang released Shen Siyuan’s arm, stepped forward, and scooped her up.
"Did you come here early in the morning?"
"No, I just arrived."
"Did you go anywhere fun?" Find the newest release on novel·fıre·net
"Went to a castle," Duoduo thought for a moment.
"Castle?"
Is there a castle in Si Ming?
Ruan Hongzhuang wondered.
"Duoduo." Jiang Yingxue approached and waved to her.
Jiang Yingxue had spent quite a bit of time with her while in Bin Hai.
Once you spend time with them, you can’t help but like these kids.
Duoduo also waved her little hand in response.
Jiang Yingxue turned back to Shen Siyuan and asked, "Where’s Dou Dou? Didn’t she come?"
Shen Siyuan focused his mind, detecting Dou Dou’s location.
"She’s over there, still quite far from us," Shen Siyuan pointed in a direction.
"This little one is the most playful, must be drawn away by something fun again," Jiang Yingxue said.
Shen Siyuan agreed, nodding, Dou Dou is the most playful and curious about everything.
Just as Jiang Yingxue had predicted, Dou Dou was currently having fun with Little Fatty in the park.
Yes, they had returned to the previous park.
The park not only had fitness equipment but also some children’s recreational facilities.
Little Fatty considered himself a local rascal; after taking Dou Dou to eat his so-called delicacies, he led her to play in the amusement park, very much like a big brother taking care of a little sister.
So they got on the pirate ship, played on the ferris wheel, entered the scary haunted house...
Alright, two real ghosts were scared by fake ghosts in the haunted house, yelling and running out, then looking at each other and laughing loudly.
Little Fatty also knew Dou Dou wasn’t from Si Ming but came from Bin Hai.
"I’ve been to Bin Hai, dad and mom took me, there wasn’t a sister then, and I found many beautiful shells on the beach..."
"Really?"
Dou Dou’s eyes sparkled with interest, providing great emotional value.
"Of course, I put those shells in a bottle, they’re still at home now, wanna see?"
Dou Dou immediately nodded.
So the two little ones set off together towards Little Fatty’s home.
