Chapter 788: Chapter 785
Cheng Dongyuan smiled, “You guys go have fun. It’s not quite the thing to always be your third wheel. It’s time to part ways anyway, we’ll see each other again after we get back.”
Seeing him say that, Lu Xiao didn’t refuse, since everyone has their own travel plans after all.
Wen Xian kept eating, focused on filling her stomach, satisfying the little foodies inside her belly, and toward the end, she was still spooning the yogurt-based bouncy bunny dessert one spoonful after another.
Before Lu Xiao paid the bill, she took the initiative to ask the server to pack another portion of the hotpot to go.
Cheng Dongyuan thought she wanted to save it for the road, but instead, he heard her muttering to Lu Xiao, “That kind sir told us where it was fun, might as well get some food as a little thank-you.”
It wasn’t about giving it away for free or charity, it was about showing gratitude to the other person.
When he looked out the window again, the rain had stopped at some point, the sky in the distance cleared up, and sunlight gradually started shining through the clouds.
Beams of light stretched endlessly.
The moisture in the high air had not completely disappeared and illuminated by the sunlight, it displayed a dazzling array of colors.
“Axian, look outside the window.”
Hearing Cheng Dongyuan’s voice, Wen Xian looked over and couldn’t help exclaiming, as she saw double rainbows appear over the distant mountains.
Two curving rainbows, spanning the sky, holy and beautiful.
It was in the evening when they prepared to go their separate ways, and it was quite a dramatic separation.
Cheng Dongyuan planned to head back in the direction of Sichuan.
Before they parted, they were in the Potala Palace area of Lhasa.
There were a lot of tourists near the Potala Palace, and the nearby scenery was also beautiful. There were people coming and going as many backpackers walked and paused along the road. Orıginal content can be found at novel·fire.net
In the evening, the Potala Palace lit up, and by night, some of the markets were bright with lights as well, with warm red lanterns giving everyone’s faces a slightly rosy glow.
They went to Qianfo Cliff, which was in an alley.
But this was no ordinary alley; it was filled with many craft workshops, and most of the items produced were related to their beliefs, all featuring various painted designs, attracting lots of tourists.
Before entering, however, Lu Xiao still took a moment to straighten Wen Xian’s clothes and bag, and finally held her hand tightly, “Don’t get lost, stay close to me.”
Wen Xian obediently nodded.
Lu Xiao also made sure his wallet and phone were secure, as pickpockets were an inevitable presence at any crowded tourist site.
Better safe than sorry, so it was important to take precautions in advance.
Meanwhile, Cheng Dongyuan walked behind alone, his gaze caught by the handicrafts inside, studying them at the entrance of a workshop.
After all, he was someone involved in art and was very interested in these local ethnic specialties.
So, the three of them entered the crowd and gradually drifted apart. At first, Lu Xiao and Wen Xian could still see Cheng Dongyuan not far away, but after a while, he was out of sight.
Wen Xian asked about him, but Lu Xiao simply shook his head and said in a deep voice, “He’s a grown man, no need to worry about him getting lost. Relax, he’s got his phone and wallet, he’ll contact us if anything comes up.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian let it be and continued to explore the small workshops with Lu Xiao.
In one of the workshops, they happened to sell balloons. Lu Xiao bought a helium balloon, and Wen Xian chuckled:
“Why are you buying this, I’m not a child.”
