At the age of 17, she fought for the glory of her motherland!

Thursday.

After Su Xing finished her exams, she went shopping in the mall with He Xu in the afternoon and picked out some gifts for her aunt's family.

Friday afternoon, around three o'clock.

He Xu came to Peking University to pick up Su Xing, and they went to the Capital Airport together.

In the past, when Su Xing went out, she usually booked economy class tickets.

He Xu said he would book the flight to Xingcheng this time, and he booked a business class ticket.

After arriving at the airport, the two went to the exclusive check-in counter and quickly completed the check-in procedures and luggage check-in.

I also went through a dedicated security check channel and passed it without much queuing. Then I went to the business class lounge to rest.

Su Xing had enjoyed VIP service when she went out with Tang Wu before, and she felt very comfortable at that time.

This time at the Capital Airport, the sense of convenience and comfort was even more obvious.

Su Xing sighed: "It's great to have money..."

There seems to be nothing wrong with spending more money to enjoy better service.

He Xu looked at her and smiled.

If financial conditions permit, he thinks it is worthwhile to make travel more convenient and comfortable.

The business class lounge is more than just a comfortable place to sit.

They took a Hainan Airlines flight and the VIP lounge was called Haiyixuan. The meals were particularly rich, including dumplings, wontons, beef noodles, sandwiches, pork trotter rice, as well as various snacks, tea bags, juice, coffee, etc.

There is also a leisure and entertainment area where you can play games, and a tea art area where you can watch tea art performances and taste various Kung Fu teas.

Su Xing was not polite at all and filled his stomach until it was 70% full before boarding the plane.

He Xu also ate something with his girlfriend.

After dinner, the two played games for a while.

Su Xing actually felt that the waiting time passed quite quickly, and before he knew it, it was time to board the flight.

VIP passengers boarded the plane first and without having to queue, they got on the plane.

On the plane, Su Xing ate some snacks and a box of light meals. This time she was almost full.

The plane landed at Xingcheng Huanghua International Airport more than ten minutes ahead of schedule.

Su Xing and He Xu picked up their luggage and took a taxi to the hotel they had booked.

The hotel is near May Day Square, just a few hundred meters away from Pozi Street, very convenient.

Moreover, this place is not far from Aunt Su Xing’s house, only three or four kilometers away.

However, it was almost nine o'clock when Su Xing and He Xu came out of the airport, and it would take them more than ten o'clock to reach the city. It was a bit late, so they decided not to disturb their aunt today.

They arrived at the hotel and checked in at the front desk.

He Xu booked a very spacious suite.

Su Xing looked at He Xu's profile and couldn't help laughing.

She remembered that when they were in Jinyang before, this guy insisted on booking two rooms, so this time he naturally booked one room.

The two went upstairs.

He Xu looked at the time. It was almost ten twenty.

However, Star City is still very lively at this time.

He asked Su Xing: "Want to go out for a walk?"

Su Xing agreed: "Okay."

The temperature in Star City is about five or six degrees now. Although it is above zero, it is very damp and cold.

When they came from the capital, they were wearing long thick down jackets, which looked a bit bulky in Star City.

When the two went out, they changed into navy blue cashmere coats of the same color.

After leaving the hotel, they walked to Pozi Street.

At this time, Puzi Street is still bustling with people and tourists, and many snack shops are still open, giving it a lively atmosphere.

The two arrived at the Fire Palace and went upstairs to order some snacks.

He Xu wasn't very hungry, so he just took a few bites, and the rest went into Su Xing's stomach.

Some of the food was a bit spicy for her, so she drank two bottles of water.

After they finished eating, they started to walk back.

It was almost twelve o'clock when we returned to the hotel.

After they took a shower, they went to bed to rest.

At around seven in the morning, the two got up and went to the restaurant for a buffet breakfast.

Then they packed up and prepared to go out.

Today Su Xing changed into the horse-faced skirt that Wen Qianxi had given her before, paired with a Chinese-style shirt and a cashmere coat, which looked both retro and casual.

He Xu looked at his girlfriend and couldn't take his eyes off her.

Su Xing smiled and said, "Let's go to Jinggang Ancient Town first, and then go see my aunt when we come back in the evening."

She had no plans to contact Deputy Section Chief Han for the time being, and wanted to go to Jinggang Ancient Town for a day as a pure tourist.

He Xu replied: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jinggang Ancient Town is thirty or forty kilometers away from Xingcheng city.

They went to the hotel front desk and booked a car service.

More than an hour later.

Su Xing and He Xu arrived at Jinggang Ancient Town.

The chartered car driver said he would wait for them in the parking lot and let them go into the scenic area on their own.

They got off the car and walked towards the ancient town.

After entering the ancient town, Su Xing was a little dazed. She almost thought she had entered a film and television city by mistake.

There are no ticket gates, no tour guide flags, only an old lady drying bacon, an aunt sitting on the doorstep of her house picking vegetables, and a sleek tabby cat stretching under the plaque of a Ming and Qing dynasty shop.

The gray horse-head wall was silent in the damp and cold air of late December.

The mist from the Xiangjiang River in the distance came over, casting a hazy feeling like frosted glass on the red lanterns hanging on the eaves.

Walking into the ancient town is like stepping into a period of old times, and the bright oil-paper umbrellas hanging in the streets and alleys add a touch of color to the ancient charm, which is contradictory and harmonious. Su Xing hung a camera around his neck and started taking pictures while walking.

There are really few tourists in the ancient town.

As they walked along, they met mostly locals, and there were very few outsiders like them who were obviously here for sightseeing.

The shops on both sides of the main street still retain the layout of the late Qing Dynasty, with shops in front and workshops in the back, and people living upstairs. When the owners of some specialty shops were open, they smiled at them with eyes full of expectation when they saw them passing by.

Some shop owners don't pay any attention to tourists at all. They just lie on their rocking chairs, swaying while browsing their phones.

There were also many shops that were not open at all. I didn’t know whether it was because it was not yet business hours or they were already closed.

Su Xing and He Xu walked along the river bank hand in hand.

There are a total of seven ancient docks in the ancient town. The guardrails of some of the docks are crooked on the shore like old people's loose teeth, and the moss on the wooden piles is so thick that water can be squeezed out.

Su Xing has also looked up some information about Jinggang Ancient Town on the Internet during this period. It is said that the Jinggang Ancient Town wharf used to have a grand scene of thousands of black-sailed boats docked there every day.

Nowadays, there are only a few tourist boats left in the river. The boatmen wear bamboo hats and row slowly, which makes the boats look more genuine than the electric boats in the famous waterside scenic spots around them.

At Zhengyi Pier, a staff member greeted them with a smile: "Two guests, would you like to take a boat?"

He Xu looked at Su Xing.

Su Xing smiled and said, "Okay, take a ride and feel it for yourself."

The two bought tickets and boarded a pontoon boat.

"Hold on tight~!"

The boatman gave them some instructions and began to row the boat.

While rowing the boat, he introduced the Jinggang Ancient Town to them in his not-so-standard Mandarin.

Su Xing and He Xu listened attentively while holding up their cameras and mobile phones to take pictures.

Su Xing took pictures of the scenery on both sides of the river.

He Xu takes a photo of his girlfriend.
