Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Overall, Fengdu Ghost City is quite a unique place, and it’s worth visiting.

However, after touring around, Li Younan didn’t find it particularly astonishing.

Coming down from the mountain, Li Younan and Liao Xinchun reunited with the two elderly men.

The two elders were enthusiastically discussing their experiences on the mountain.

Liao Xinchun, on the other hand, was checking the photos she had taken, her head lowered.

When she saw the photos Li Younan had taken of others, her gaze paused. She looked at Li Younan, then at the photos, back to Li Younan, sighed slightly, and suddenly asked, "Have you learned photography?"

Li Younan shrugged, "I wouldn’t say I’ve learned it. I just bought a camera and tinkered with it a bit."

Liao Xinchun said nothing more and then boarded the ship to continue the journey.

There were still many attractions ahead. Every time this cruise ship approached a classic spot, there would be announcements over the speaker to give everyone a heads-up to go on deck and take photos.

Li Younan’s room was by the window, allowing him to see the scenery along the shore.

After leaving Fengdu Ghost City, he felt a bit tired and planned to return to his room to rest for a while. Liao Xinchun asked him, "Are you going to your room to rest now?"

Li Younan curiously asked back, "Aren’t you coming? Aren’t you tired? I saw you sweating a lot climbing the mountain just now."

Liao Xinchun frowned slightly, "Not tired."

Li Younan was a bit taken aback and suddenly found it amusing, because he could clearly hear a hint of defiance in Liao Xinchun’s "Not tired," as if he had asked, "Can you handle it?" instead of "Are you tired?"

Li Younan didn’t bother to explain, saying, "I’m a little tired, haha, so I’ll take a break first."

Liao Xinchun nodded and said, "How about we continue our chess game after dinner? Oh, I’m talking about international chess; didn’t you say you also play international chess?"

Li Younan looked curious, "Did you bring an international chess set?"

Liao Xinchun smiled, "I brought a tablet with an international chess game. The tablet can serve as the chessboard."

Li Younan nodded, "See you after dinner then."

They didn’t exchange contact information, just agreed to meet in the lounge on the top floor.

When he woke up from his nap, it was already dark outside.

Li Younan checked the time; dinner had just ended half an hour ago.

He got up, turned over, and went to have dinner.

The dinner buffet was equally lavish and different from yesterday’s selection.

Li Younan picked some of his favorite dishes and leisurely ate in a corner.

The spot was near the window, offering a view of the river outside.

The river was pitch dark at this point, with distant city lights, but Li Younan’s gaze was drawn to the water. He suddenly wondered what he would do in case of a shipwreck.

His thoughts wandered randomly, and then he chuckled softly, not understanding why he imagined such a scenario.

Speaking of which, he’s still a landlubber.

After dinner, Li Younan went to the upstairs lounge as promised.

At this point, the two old men were not in the lounge, only Liao Xinchun was there.

Li Younan greeted her proactively, "Where’s your grandpa and that Elder Zhou?"

Liao Xinchun had a slightly peculiar expression, propped her chin on her wrist, squinted at Li Younan, and then said, "You’re really strange. Do you enjoy hanging out with elderly people that much?"

Li Younan caught the subtext in Liao Xinchun’s words, meaning something like: Here I am, a big beauty, asking you to play chess with me, and the first thing you do is ask where the two old men are—isn’t that killing the mood?

Li Younan sat down, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems like you’re not a ’good girl’ type."

Liao Xinchun asked curiously, "Why do you think I’m a ’good girl’?"

Li Younan replied, "Because you’re willing to accompany two old men out for a trip? For young people, that’s quite rare."

Liao Xinchun nodded, "True, my grandpa dotes on me a lot. He wanted to tour the Three Gorges. My parents don’t have much time, unlike me who just graduated from college and is still unemployed, so I could join Grandmaster Zhou for a trip."

Li Younan nodded, pointing to the tablet in front of her, "Shall we play chess? Let’s start."

Liao Xinchun opened the game interface skillfully, then said, "How about we add some stakes?"

Li Younan asked curiously, "What kind of stakes?"

Liao Xinchun waved to the waiter, "Could we have two bottles of red wine, the paid kind?"

The two bottles of red wine were brought over, and Liao Xinchun poured half a glass into two wine glasses, saying, "The loser drinks this much."

Li Younan’s expression was a bit odd, and he asked tentatively, "How’s your alcohol tolerance?"

Liao Xinchun’s face changed slightly, snorted, "You should ask yourself that. Let’s start."

Half an hour later, after drinking another glass of red wine, a rosy flush was apparent on Liao Xinchun’s face.

Li Younan looked at her with concern, "Maybe we should call it a day for tonight. You can go and rest."

Liao Xinchun patted the table with dissatisfaction, "How can that be? You didn’t drink a single drop tonight."

Li Younan chuckled, having won the past three rounds without losing a single game.

In the first game, the stake was only half a glass, and Liao Xinchun lost.

In the second game, Liao Xinchun raised the stakes to a full glass, and she lost again.

Frustrated, she pointed to the remaining half bottle, saying that the loser should drink the remaining half bottle.

She lost yet again.

In other words, she has already drunk almost a whole bottle of red wine.
