Chapter 908 - 640: Arrival at the Destination
At Qingyun International Airport, a stunning blonde woman walked out, her striking appearance attracting a lot of attention.
"Finally, I've arrived in the Dragon Country. I didn't expect the airport here to be so big."
Tina looked around, a bit surprised, but ignored the gazes of others.
Although she was only a third-tier celebrity in the Eagle Country, she had faced the spotlight before, and she thoroughly enjoyed being the center of attention.
She planned a seven-day trip to the Dragon Country and had researched well-known attractions online before her arrival. This time, she was determined to have a great time exploring.
She hadn't expected to be so startled by the massive airport upon arrival, as the Dragon Country was quite different from what the Eagle Country media had reported.
"The tour guide I booked should be here by now, right?"
Arriving at the exit, Tina scanned the area, searching for her guide.
"Huh? Is that him?"
Soon Tina spotted Xia Liang holding a small red flag, and her eyes lit up.
She had never met Xia Liang in person but had seen him multiple times in Lu Rui'an's videos.
His English was impeccable, suggesting he might have studied abroad.
His speech was elegant, and he spoke fluently about the history and culture of the Dragon Country, as if there was nothing he didn't know.
She had wanted to have Xia Liang as her guide, but knowing he was Lu Rui'an's guide, she thought it was a bit of a regret. Unexpectedly, she encountered him here.
"He seems to be waiting for someone. Could it be me?"
Tina was puzzled. Wasn't he Lu Rui'an's guide? Furthermore, Lu Rui'an posted a video yesterday, saying he wasn't returning to the Eagle Country for now, so why was Xia Liang here?
While Tina was pondering this, Xia Liang noticed her too.
It wasn't hard to spot her since she was the only foreigner here, with her striking blonde hair.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Tina? I am the tour guide you booked at Qingyun International Travel Agency. My name is Xia Liang, and I will accompany you for the next seven days in our Dragon Country."
Xia Liang approached Tina, speaking gently in perfect English.
"Mr. Xia Liang, is it really you who's going to be my guide?"
Tina was pleasantly surprised by Xia Liang's words but quickly questioned, "But weren't you the guide for the gourmet? Why are you now my guide?"
Her words surprised Xia Liang. He didn't expect her to recognize him.
Was he that famous? He remembered being quite low-key at the agency, even his boss Old Liu didn't know he was the agency's heir.
"Does Ms. Tina know me?"
Xia Liang asked.
"Of course, I consider myself a fan of the gourmet too."
Tina nodded.
Gourmet?
Xia Liang suddenly understood. The gourmet she mentioned must be Lu Rui'an, who had said previously that he was coming to the Dragon Country to enjoy the cuisine.
"Mr. Lu Ruian only booked a three-day tour, which ended yesterday."
Xia Liang explained with a smile, "Although he wanted to continue hiring me as his guide, our agency had already scheduled me to be your guide in advance, so he had to find someone else."
Tina nodded, so that's what happened. It seemed she inadvertently 'snatched' him from Lu Rui'an.
But she didn't dwell on it for long. Even if Lu Rui'an knew, it wasn't deliberate.
"Mr. Xia Liang, I'm glad you'll be my guide. I've watched all of the gourmet's videos, and your explanations of the Dragon Country's history and culture are indeed impressive. I hope you'll guide me well in the days to come."
"Ms. Tina, no need to be so polite. As your guide, I will certainly do my best to ensure you have an enjoyable trip."
After chatting for a bit, they quickly became familiar, and Xia Liang led her outside the airport, ready to drive her to the hotel first.
"Mr. Xia Liang, how far are we from the Great Tang Nightless City? It was after watching the gourmet's videos that I became interested in the Dragon Country, especially the music fountain at the Great Tang Nightless City. I really want to see it."
"We're still some distance from the Great Tang Nightless City, but the hotel you booked is nearby. We can drop off your luggage at the hotel first, then head to the Great Tang Nightless City."
"Alright, I'll follow your lead, Mr. Xia Liang."
Tina nodded with a smile, feeling quite pleased.
Before coming, she was curious about what kind of person her guide would be. She even considered all sorts of contingencies, carrying pepper spray in her bag.
But finding out her guide was Xia Liang, she felt at ease. Although she had only seen him in videos, he seemed like half an acquaintance.
Xia Liang was also satisfied with Tina.
What a nice girl, not only pretty but also so agreeable, much better than that Lu Rui'an.
At least she wouldn't have issues like hiding a taser in her pants.
Of course, if he knew she had pepper spray, he might not be so pleased.
About an hour later, they arrived at the hotel Tina had booked in advance. It was quite a distance from Lu Rui'an's hotel, at least a half-hour drive away.
"Mr. Xia Liang, let's take a photo together. It's my first time in the Dragon Country."
Tina wasn't shy at all, especially with her Western features, like a lively sprite.
"No problem."
Xia Liang naturally obliged such a small request from a tourist. Over the years, he had taken countless photos with tourists, not just a thousand but definitely eight hundred, so Tina wasn't an exception.
Although he said that, Xia Liang soon regretted it. Taking photos with women was troublesome; they were never satisfied with just one shot. After half an hour of shooting, she finally selected three photos to keep and deleted the rest.
"Scary, scary, even scarier than Lu Rui'an."
Xia Liang shook his head, quickly offering to carry her luggage inside, thus making his escape.
"Mr. Xia Liang is really just like in the videos, so easy to get along with."
Watching Xia Liang leave, Tina smiled and then looked at her phone, logging into her account abroad, and uploaded the three photos they had just taken.
