“Oh, you mean this place? It’s a small county town near South City called Yunsheng County. It is indeed considered a tourist spot, but because it’s quite remote, not many people go there specifically for tourism these days. The festival events are mostly attended by locals. Last time I was there, I heard they were even starting to talk about demolition.”
Hearing Su Wanli’s question, the driver in the driver’s seat adjusted his sunglasses and explained to the two young women in the back.
“However, going to Yunsheng County is indeed a good choice. The air is fresh, and the scenery is beautiful. It’s quite nice to experience it while that bathing beach is still operating. If I remember correctly, this Sunday happens to be a local festival, so there will be even more fun things to do, like a fireworks show.”
Not only is there the sea, a bathing beach, a festival, but also a fireworks show—
It’s practically tailor-made for her and Meng Wange’s trip.
And it’s remote with few tourists, isn’t that even better? Perfect for avoiding the crowds and having Meng Wange all to herself for the entire night!
Su Wanli’s eyes grew brighter the more she listened, wishing she could have the driver turn the car around right now and fly over there.
[Female Villain Value has dropped to…]
Ahem, that’s not what I meant.
I mean, finally, I won’t have to worry about prying eyes and can ‘bully’ the heroine even more brazenly.
Su Wanli cleared her throat lightly, pretending to be nonchalant as she fanned herself with the travel guide in her hand, then said to Meng Wange indifferently:
“Since even the driver says so… then this weekend, we’ll go there to pass the time.”
However, for some reason, despite this page being clearly marked up quite a bit, Meng Wange’s expression seemed hesitant.
“But, Miss Su, this place isn’t in South City proper, but a small county town on the outskirts. Safety might not be fully guaranteed, and there are also rumors about imminent demolition…”
“Rumors are just rumors. As long as it’s not demolished when we go, isn’t that fine? Besides, you’ve made so many marks on this page, doesn’t that mean you like this place too?”
Su Wanli snorted lightly, her tone carrying a hint of confidence.
She had noticed long ago that this page had many creases, clearly having been flipped through repeatedly. Meng Wange must also be very interested in this bathing beach.
It’s just that because the location is outside the city, she didn’t want to trouble her, so she suppressed the desire to go.
In that case, she would just fulfill her wish herself.
Su Wanli shrugged and gently tapped the fireworks illustration on the manual with her knuckle, along with the annotated fireworks schedule next to it.
“If you like it, then there’s nothing to hesitate about. Or… have you grown tired of fireworks and don’t want to watch them a few more times with me?”
“Of course not, Miss Su. Judging from the content in the manual, I also like this place very much.”
Sure enough, after she expressed her strong desire, Meng Wange began to waver.
Hehe, although it’s still the same old routine—taking her around, trying local snacks, then watching fireworks by the sea—
But this is the most classic, timeless romantic scene.
Surely it can rack up a huge wave of favorability!
However, Meng Wange’s hesitation just now didn’t seem to be mere reluctance. After pondering for a moment, she added:
“But, before you formally go to Yunsheng County, I hope you can agree to one request of mine.”
“Hmm?”
Meng Wange reached out and took the travel guide, pointing at the promotional photo on it, and smiled:
“Since the fireworks show is on Sunday, I’d like to go take a look first on Saturday. If, like the water park, there’s a discrepancy between the advertisement and reality, I can prepare an alternative itinerary for you in advance.”
…Indeed, if they travel all that way only to have a mediocre experience or face huge crowds, it wouldn’t make for a good memory.
Su Wanli thought for a moment and was about to nod:
“Alright, then tomorrow we’ll go together—”
“No, you’ve misunderstood, Miss Su.”
Meng Wange gently shook her head.
“What I mean is, I will go ahead of you, alone, to Yunsheng County to scout it out.”
“…”
In other words, she plans to go to Yunsheng County alone on Saturday, just so she won’t be disappointed later?
That won’t do!
A young woman traveling far alone isn’t safe to begin with, let alone…
Besides, she just wanted to go out and have fun with her; the destination itself isn’t that important.
“Then I—”
“The fireworks show is on Sunday, Miss Su. I just want to check out the actual environment there in advance. If Yunsheng County is indeed suitable, I can also pick a good viewing spot for us ahead of time. As for safety concerns, please don’t worry.”
As she spoke, Meng Wange raised her phone and pointed to the contacts.
“Teacher Liu Xiaohua is a local of Yunsheng County. I asked her before, and she happens to be going back this Saturday to attend the local festival. If possible, I can travel part of the way with her.”
“As for you…”
She thought for a moment before continuing:
“Some things aren’t easy to buy over in Yunsheng County, like tents, for instance. Although we could have Zhang Ma and the others prepare them, since it’s a trip, it’s more appropriate for you to personally oversee it.”
Seeing the reluctance in Su Wanli’s eyes, Meng Wange suddenly placed her index finger lightly against her lips, revealing a somewhat sly smile.
“Or, to put it another way—to prepare for Sunday’s ‘Fireworks Show Dungeon,’ as your strategist and vanguard, let me go there first to set up camp and gather intelligence, then await your arrival on a dark and windy night.”
“Until then, I’ll leave it to you to properly prepare the supplies in the rear.”
