Taking photos was splendid fun, and Liu Zhizhong even shot a short video.
After he finished, he sent everything to Lu Yumei since she was holding her phone anyway.
The signal here was really something.
On the distant mountain peak downstream of the river, there indeed was a signal tower.
Sure enough, Lu Yumei received the photos and video, and deeply touched by their beauty, she turned her head and saw Liu Zhizhong not far away, smiling gently at her.
"Mrs. Lu, let's head back home. If you're reluctant to leave, we can come again next time!"
His voice, tender and magnetic, was a balm to a woman's ears.
Lu Yumei took a deep breath, looked around once more, then nodded and said with a light smile, "Is everything packed up?"
"Yeah, everything's packed. It's just my mother-in-law's mood that's not quite settled."
This little bit of humor required a dash of wisdom from life itself.
Lu Yumei laughed happily, her eyes bright and teeth shining in the morning light, her nose and lips rosy and not a single wrinkle beside her eyes—truly a woman aglow with youthful radiance!
Of course, Lu Yumei's complexion had improved over the past two days. It might have been the abundant negative ions in the air, perhaps the high-quality food, likely related to her mood, but the biggest possibility...
Ha, it had to do with Demon Liu!
Men, forever women's best cosmetics—no argument allowed!
Lu Yumei then walked towards Liu Zhizhong, saying cheerfully as she did, "My mood's great now! Zhizhong, thank you!"
Liu Zhizhong looked genuinely puzzled, his expression solemn yet tinged with a hint of humor, "Why are you thanking me now?"
"Although we were here for just a short time, and even though it rained for half of it, the rain was beautiful too. Having you with me, I really had a great time. It's been so long since I felt this relaxed and happy."
"Of course! You're the elder, and I'm the younger one. I have to take good care of you! Plus, these last few days, your chess skills improved vastly—you've beaten me thoroughly, executing every move with finesse..."
"Hehe... you sometimes let me win at chess; I know what you're doing."
"No, no, no, it's not letting you win, I just couldn't keep up... Your soldiers advancing were terrifying, almost as formidable as your master; and your cannon moves... left and right, who can withstand that?"
Just like that, Liu Zhizhong managed to delight the charming and tender Mrs. Lu, and with Lu Yumei in tow, he headed back to the RV.
Standing by the RV, Lu Yumei couldn't help but take in the surroundings again and said, "This place is really wonderful! You said this is Ru River Valley, but it feels more like Shuangxin Valley to me!"
Liu Zhizhong paused for a moment, then understanding dawned and he smiled, "You know, you're right! Shuangxin Valley it does resemble, a valley of two hearts, intertwined... Hehe..."
He dared not delve too deep into that thought, for going deep might seem frivolous, wouldn't it?
Lu Yumei's face turned a slight shade of red, and she smiled softly, "I really wish we could have a house here, on the slope above or perhaps on the cliff opposite. Just to stay occasionally. Facing Shuangxin Valley, with spring warmth and blossoming flowers, cool summers and crisp autumns, and in winter, to appreciate the undulating waves—how wonderful would that be!"
Liu Zhizhong was moved by her words, but he kept a stern face and said formally, "Well, about that... this area is part of a nature preserve, also within the Shennong Grand Canyon Scenic Area, building here needs serious consideration. But since Mrs. Lu has such ideas, allow me to call the relevant departments when I return, to discuss and quickly survey, implement, and execute the plan!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Ha, ha, ha... You and your smooth talk—forget it, let's get in the car and go home!"
"Right! Princess Lu, please get in the car; I'm driving!"
"Hehe... Silly boy, always saying things to make people happy..."
