NOVEL NEXT Chapter 871: 871
There are still a few days before Gan Ling's memorial for her mother, so there's no rush to hurry on the road.
At eleven in the evening, Liu Zhizhong parked the RV in the service area and extended it.
This luxury RV still attracted many admiring glances from people in the service area, but they could only be envious.
Da Xing and Xiao Xing, along with Gan Ling, were also surprised and delighted. Spending a night in this comfortable RV was indeed a very pleasant experience.
After expanding the RV, Liu Zhizhong personally prepared a late-night snack for the three beauties: fresh soup dumplings, roasted mushrooms, paired with fresh fruit juice. The craftsmanship was top-notch and the taste exquisite.
Some of the ingredients he prepared himself, of course, included premium river delicacies; and some were products from Qian's Manor, clean, natural, and pollution-free, befitting everyone's status.
Especially for the delicate beauty Gan Ling, the ingredients she enjoyed were always top-notch.
Before they left, Qian Xuan also mentioned that his sister should have the best meals and shouldn't eat from roadside stalls; everything should be settled in the RV. If they ran out of ingredients on the way, he would even send them by helicopter.
As an older brother, his care for his sister was to the extreme.
There was no way around it. Gan Ling was afraid of heights and allergic to sunlight, so traveling by RV back home was the most suitable option. Additionally, it was highly mobile, allowing them to enjoy the scenery, though mostly at night.
Da Xing and Xiao Xing were cold and aloof, eating and drinking as needed, speaking very little. Truly, they were trained to be super bodyguards.
Gan Ling also didn't talk much. She ate the food, drank the juice, greedily watched the stars and the moon, and enjoyed the night breeze. She still had the naive and romantic nature of a young girl, which greatly pleased Liu Zhizhong.
He liked her, but liking her didn't mean he was romantically interested. Don't get the wrong idea.
Liu Zhizhong was a man of self-control and principles!
Normal chatting and communication were no problem, no barriers.
Even though his voice had "undergone surgery," it was still so magnetic and pleasant, making Gan Ling his little fangirl... oh, little fan-sister...
Liu Zhizhong tried not to tease Gan Ling, avoided physical contact with her, and kept a proper distance. Such a gentleman, who else could compare?
But the more he behaved like this, the more it would subtly stir a woman's heart, could you resist that?
During the journey, Liu Zhizhong drove, cooked, and carefully took care of the three beauties.
Even when they arrived at the world's largest karst cave, it was at dusk, the darkest time of day. He spent a lot of money to arrange a night tour of the cave just for the four of them, to experience the awe-inspiring underground stalactite world. How enjoyable it was.
While passing by Dian Lake, the largest lake in Yunxi Province, a highly acclaimed lake in numerous literary works, Liu Zhizhong also took Gan Ling on a night cruise. They rented the entire boat, and even Da Xing took care of sailing, without needing any staff from the scenic area.
Unfortunately, at the beginning of autumn, Dian Lake wasn't as beautiful as the legends said, nor were there countless seagulls. On the contrary, there were many floating algae on the water surface, and quite a number of dead fish.
The lake was too shallow, with an average depth of less than 8 meters. Being the provincial capital of Yunxi Province and a famous tourist destination, there were too many sources of pollution, and it was difficult to manage. Balancing economic development and environmental protection had been a longstanding challenge in the area, and it remained unresolved.
The only consolation was that in the highlands, the night sky was as clear as a mirror, with exceptionally bright stars and an especially radiant moon.
Liu Zhizhong even seriously said, "This lake wind, I'm worried it might be too polluted and harm Sister Ling's delicate skin. How about we head back early? Tomorrow we need to go directly to Mogu Lake. You have to honor your mother, it's good to rest early tonight."
