Thanks to Gu Yue's presence, the boring plane journey became much more interesting.
Lin Yu had no idea where this little creature got so much energy all day long. She was like a little doll wound up with a nuclear-powered spring, super energetic.
But it was also because of her constant joking and fooling around along the way that Lin Yu overlooked something that was quite off.
How could it be such a coincidence that Gu Yue ended up on the same flight as him? And judging by her outfit, it seemed she had prepared in advance to give him a surprise...
...
After the plane landed, Lin Yu first found a hotel for Gu Yue, then took her to try some local specialty foods.
After finishing the meal—whether it was lunch or dinner was unclear—the sky already held the hues of dusk.
Having been on a plane for half a day and waited such a long time at the airport, by now Lin Yu was feeling quite tired and thought it was time to rest. He planned to recharge his energy for tomorrow and then take Gu Yue out to properly have fun and explore.
What Lin Yu hadn't anticipated was that Gu Yue didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, she even pestered him, not allowing him to rest either.
In Gu Yue's words, she had come all this way, and every minute and second was bought with money—they had to make it worthwhile!
Damn.
You know what? She actually had a point.
Coming all this way, and even having to travel a long distance to go to school in a few days, spending time sleeping did seem a bit wasteful.
Gu Yue also wouldn't let go of that piece of gum, saying she had already paid for it and wouldn't let Lin Yu brush it off so casually. He had to serve her properly and make her comfortable.
Although Lin Yu knew she was talking about the tourism aspect,
it still sounded a bit weird...
But Lin Yu really was quite tired. After some discussion, they each took a step back and decided to return to the hotel to rest for a while first, then come out in the evening to explore S City's snack street and night scenery.
After resting at the hotel for a bit, they set out.
S City was a place rich in historical charm, with numerous scenic spots worth visiting. At night, some of the ancient sites were brilliantly lit, looking even more spectacular than during the day.
Lin Yu took Gu Yue to a relatively famous scenic spot within S City's urban area. Here, the lights flowed like liquid gold, the crowd of tourists was like a sea, and people taking photos and checking in were endless.
Naturally, Lin Yu was conscripted by Gu Yue to take photos for her and help her check in for souvenirs.
To be honest, Lin Yu was quite happy wandering around with Gu Yue, this friend he hadn't seen in a long time, and he put a lot of effort into taking photos for her.
Gu Yue was also a well-deserved little beauty. With a pretty person, the photos naturally came out beautiful too.
After taking the photos, Lin Yu handed the phone to Gu Yue, waiting proudly for her screams and praises.
Unexpectedly, her small face fell, filled with an expression too complex for words.
Lin Yu noticed something was off with her expression and asked puzzledly:
"What's wrong?"
"Are the photos I took not good?"
Gu Yue looked up at Lin Yu. Instead of answering his question, she asked one in return:
"Brother Long, have you ever taken photos for your girlfriend?"
Lin Yu shook his head truthfully.
"What's wrong? Are they really ugly?"
When saying this, Lin Yu was still quite confident because he had always thought his photography skills were pretty good. The people he photographed had noses and eyes, he guaranteed not a single facial feature was missing, and they were captured clearly.
But to his surprise, Gu Yue nodded, wearing an expression that said 'you got it'.
Lin Yu protested, quickly pointing at the screen to defend himself:
"Isn't this shot pretty good? The subject is clear, the background is clear, the picture is clear, what more could I do?"
Gu Yue, who knew nothing about it, rolled her eyes and complained:
"Those are the most basic points of a photo. I could set a timer and get that without you."
Lin Yu scratched his head and asked confusedly:
"Then how should it be taken?"
Gu Yue taught Lin Yu in detail how to take photos. Lin Yu listened to a long lecture but didn't understand at all, so he simply went for quantity over quality.
After taking seventy or eighty photos back and forth, Lin Yu was exhausted. Gu Yue finally selected three that were somewhat acceptable, nearly making Lin Yu sit down on the ground in frustration.
But fortunately, a few decent photos were taken, and Gu Yue let Lin Yu off.
Lin Yu relaxed and was just about to take Gu Yue to the snack street when Gu Yue pulled him back.
Lin Yu turned to give her a questioning look. She pointed at some professional photographers holding cameras near the scenic spot and said:
"Come on, let's go take a few photos together."
Lin Yu looked at those photographers with professional equipment and almost fainted from anger.
So there were professionals here all along?
Then what was all the effort he just put in?
Did it count as him being diligent?
"Dammit, didn't see them earlier."
Lin Yu cursed and grumbled.
"Saw them a long time ago."
Gu Yue pulled his sleeve, striding forward without looking back, replying.
Lin Yu widened his eyes, asking with a face full of shock:
"You saw them and didn't ask them to take photos for you? Why torture me instead!"
Hearing this, Gu Yue turned her head to look at Lin Yu, playfully stuck out her pink tongue, made a cute funny face, and let out a strange laugh.
"Ehehe~"
"What do you mean by that!?"
Bickering and making noise, the two arrived next to a street photographer. After paying, under the photographer's guidance, they found a very good photo spot with that famous ancient building right behind them.
The two followed the photographer's arrangements and stood in position. The photographer lifted his long camera, aimed at them for a moment, then put it down again, smiling as he said to them:
"Stand closer together. Why are you so far apart?"
The two followed the photographer's instruction, moving closer together.
The photographer raised his long camera again, aimed at them, and this time he didn't put it down. Instead, he continued:
"A bit closer."
They moved closer.
"Even closer."
They moved closer.
"A little closer~"
"Should I just stuff her into my mouth?"
Lin Yu got impatient. Any closer and it really would be like stuffing her into his mouth.
Lin Yu's words made Gu Yue beside him bend over laughing.
The middle-aged photographer put down his long camera upon hearing this, wearing a helpless smile as he said:
"I mean be more intimate. Don't be shy, young couple."
"We're not a couple."
Lin Yu clarified seriously.
These plain words drifted into Gu Yue's ears with the evening breeze. Her smile faded somewhat slowly, like machinery lacking lubrication. Only after Lin Yu finished speaking did she nod and add her own clarification.
"Mhm, not a couple."
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.

When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
