Chapter 661
"Guest, all the trash you requested has been cleaned up. Would you like to check it again? If there's anything missing or you're not satisfied, please feel free to contact me anytime," a seemingly real voice said from the other end of the phone.
"No need to see it, I trust your professionalism. Someone will come over to settle the bill with you later."
As Hua Yu yawned, she slowly crawled out of the warm and comfortable bed. On her long, fair neck, a bright red plum blossom stood out, as if telling the world about the tenderness and passion of the previous night.
"Who called so early in the morning?" Hua Yu rubbed her sleepy eyes and muttered a complaint.
"It's nothing, I dialed the wrong number. The person has the exact same name as me, and even their phone number is almost identical, except the last digit is different," Zhang Qiling explained, gently patting Hua Yu's cheek. He then hung up the phone and naturally pulled Hua Yu into a tight embrace.
Hua Yu curled up in Zhang Qiling's broad, strong embrace like a docile kitten, then gently stroked his firm chest with her delicate hand, saying with a half-smile, "It seems coincidences really are everywhere in this world! Sometimes they're truly unbelievable~"
"Absolutely! This coincidence is simply a match made in heaven! Everything is so perfect and natural." Zhang Qiling softly echoed, while gently kneading Hua Yu's smooth and delicate shoulders with her fingers, murmuring softly.
Not long after, when the two of them reappeared in the hotel lobby, they were all dressed up and looked brand new. They were both wearing casual clothes, looking both stylish and carefree; Hua Yu had a high-end imported camera hanging around her neck, making her the center of attention; as for Zhang Qiling, he was carrying an enormous travel backpack, looking energetic and radiant.
Just as the two were beginning to feel anxious, a figure suddenly rushed in from the hotel entrance. The person was wearing a wrinkled, messy shirt, and their hair was a complete tangled mess, making them look extremely disheveled.
As soon as he stepped into the hotel lobby, he quickly looked around before fixing his gaze on Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling. Then, as if realizing that his appearance was not quite right, he quickened his pace towards them, straightening his clothes as he did so.
"Mr. Xiang, Mrs. Xiang, I'm so sorry! I don't know what happened today, but there was a serious traffic accident on the road, which caused a complete traffic jam. That's why I'm a little late. Please forgive me." The driver said apologetically.
After hearing this, Hua Yu's tense expression instantly relaxed, and she even became a little curious about the matter: "Oh? I see... It sounds like this car accident was quite serious."
After the driver gently placed Zhang Qiling's backpack behind him into the trunk of the car and turned back to the driver's seat to start the vehicle, Hua Yu, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but ask, "By the way, you said you encountered a car accident on the road. It must have been a terrible scene, right?"
The driver paused abruptly as he fastened his seatbelt, but quickly resumed his actions, casually replying, "Uh... well, I was just thinking about getting here as quickly as possible, so I didn't pay much attention to the specifics. But judging from the chaotic scene, the accident must have been quite serious."
The driver looked back through the rearview mirror. Mrs. Xiang, who had just been questioning him, was now wearing an eye mask and resting with her eyes closed, while Mr. Xiang next to her was staring intently at the tablet in his hand.
"Mr. Xiang, let's set off for the first stop!" After adjusting the vehicle, the driver quietly informed Zhang Qiling, "We are still some distance from the first viewpoint. You can rest for a while in the car."
Zhang Qiling gently unzipped his backpack and carefully took out a slim and compact laptop. He skillfully turned it on, the screen lit up, and the system quickly booted up. His fingers flew across the keyboard, producing crisp, clear tapping sounds, as if playing a beautiful melody.
Time ticked by, and Zhang Qiling remained focused on his work, completely absorbed in it. Before he knew it, his eyes began to ache, and his vision blurred. He rubbed his eyes, looked up at the trees rushing past the car window, and a strange sense of unease welled up inside him.
"Where are we now?" Zhang Qiling turned her head and asked the driver in a low voice.
The driver glanced at Zhang Qiling through the rearview mirror and replied, "Mr. Xiang, based on the current speed and road conditions, we should arrive at our destination in about ten minutes."
Hearing this, Hua Yu, who had been pretending to sleep with an eye mask on, slowly opened his eyes. He stretched, yawned, and then asked curiously, "Are we there already?"
Zhang Qiling smiled and said, "Yes, we'll be there soon. You've always been longing to see the scenery of the Northwest, now your wish can come true!"
Hua Yu's face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. He excitedly said, "I was browsing online when I saw those beautiful photos of the Northwest region, and I was completely captivated. The natural scenery there is so magnificent and breathtaking. That's why I specially arranged this trip to experience this magical and enchanting land for myself."
As she spoke, Hua Yu's eyes were filled with longing and anticipation, as if she couldn't wait to immerse herself in that vast and boundless world.
Meanwhile, Wu Xie and his group, continuing their journey deeper into the Northwest, made frequent stops under the guidance of Steward Xu.
Cheng Ye looked at the afterglow of the setting sun and glanced impatiently at his guide, Yang Ming.
Yang Ming gave Cheng Ye a look that said "be patient," and urged his horse to slowly approach Wu Xie and the others who were digging in the dirt with their rear ends sticking out.
"Mr. Xu, it's getting late. Shouldn't we find a sheltered spot to set up camp?" Yang Ming dismounted and squatted down next to Steward Xu, gently reminding him.
As if suddenly realizing something, Butler Xu glanced at his watch and slapped his forehead in annoyance. "It really is! Look at me, I get so engrossed in these things. I'm so sorry!"
Butler Xu's demeanor was that of a complete old scholar, successfully deceiving not only Yang Ming but also Wu Xie and the others standing nearby.
