Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 300 Once Upon a Time, There Was a City, and in That City, There Was Lu Xuan
"Uh... why are you looking at me like that?"
Driving the car and settling Su Yao into a hotel, Lu Xuan finally asked.
Up until just now, Su Yao had been looking at him with stars in her eyes.
"Could it be that I've become even more handsome?"
Su Yao smiled, her eyebrows curving. "Hey! You really have~"
"You're too handsome!"
"I really didn't expect our movie to cause such a sensation abroad!"
"This is something countless domestic directors dream of!"
Lu Xuan laughed and patted her head.
"Others can't, but that doesn't mean I can't."
"Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. If someone does it, someone will definitely succeed!"
Su Yao shook her head and said.
"Yes, yes, Teacher Lu is heaven-sent to save domestic entertainment!"
"How could you not be able to do it~"
"Those domestic capitalists who only care about money have invested countless amounts in overseas markets, but they've all lost their shirts. This is something they don't have the ability to do, so you are a hero!"
"My hero!"
Lu Xuan felt very comfortable hearing that.
He never hid his emotions in front of Su Yao.
"Alright, I like hearing that. Tell me more~ Perfect timing, let's go have some fun tomorrow!"
A date?!
Su Yao became a little excited and asked curiously.
"Fun? What fun things are there to do here?"
She opened the app and started searching for travel guides for nearby tourist spots.
Lu Xuan pressed her hand down. "Don't bother looking, I've already made a guide."
"Right now, we only have one task."
"Get a good night's sleep!"
Lu Xuan put his arm around Su Yao and lay down, no longer speaking.
Having been busy for so long, after seeing the person he'd been thinking about day and night, sleepiness finally swept over him.
Su Yao sensed Lu Xuan's exhaustion and gently stroked his cheek.
"Okay~ Anything you say."
"......"
Lu Xuan buried his face deep in the sea of Ds, smelling his favorite scent, and quickly fell asleep.
In the past, he liked the scent of jasmine.
But now, Su Yao's scent is the best in the world!
Looking at Lu Xuan falling asleep so quickly, Su Yao enjoyed being relied upon by him, and was momentarily captivated.
"Sleep well, sleep well~"
......
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Lu Xuan woke up.
He felt refreshed, and his fatigue was swept away.
The beauty next to him was still fast asleep, and Lu Xuan quietly admired her beauty that belonged to him.
"Awake?"
"Mmm—"
Her sleepy, nasal voice melted Lu Xuan's heart.
"Perfect timing, I ordered breakfast, it'll be here soon."
"Alright~"
Mention food, and Su Yao was immediately full of energy.
Lu Xuan was amused.
"This little glutton."
After a while, a hot and fragrant breakfast was delivered.
"Eat up, eat up, after we eat we'll go out and play."
"Oh right, did you bring the couple outfits?"
"Of course! You specifically told me to~ How could I forget! But, are you sure there's a Cosplay convention nearby?"
Eating the sugared millet porridge, Su Yao blew on the steam and asked strangely.
Before coming, Lu Xuan had asked her to bring the couple's ancient costumes.
She thought it was for participating in the Cosplay convention.
Lu Xuan smiled mysteriously. "Of course."
Looking at Su Yao's silly look as she munched on her bun, she had probably forgotten her birthday eighty percent of the time.
His plan could unfold perfectly!
"Lu Bao! I'm done eating!"
"Gogogo!"
The two changed into their unique couple's ancient costumes.
Driving all the way to the outskirts of the city, Lu Xuan finally stopped the car and said to her.
"Let's go, let's go for a walk. It's around here."
"Mmm mmm!"
After getting out of the car and walking a few steps, they saw a city rising from the ground in the distance!
Su Yao seemed very excited.
"Look, there seems to be a city over there!"
Having just come out of steel buildings, seeing such an antique city suddenly gave her a feeling of time travel.
"Let's go take a look!"
Saying that, Su Yao grabbed Lu Xuan's hand and ran over.
Lu Xuan followed behind her with a smile.
This city was naturally the Xianxia Legend theme film and television city that Lu Xuan had built with huge investment.
At this moment, the people in the city were all extras from the company!
After receiving Lu Xuan's message, they were now ready.
Su Yao pulled his hand and ran over, discovering that there were two soldiers wearing armor at the gate, holding long spears.
The spearheads glistened coldly, like real things.
It immediately strengthened Su Yao's sense of immersion.
"Wow, the quality of this Cosplay is so high!"
"Speaking of... when did this city appear here?"
Su Yao suppressed her doubts in her heart, and her pace slowed down as she got closer and closer to the city.
Seeing Su Yao and Lu Xuan, they didn't stop them at all, but instead gave a military salute.
Su Yao quietly said to Lu Xuan.
"Is this the place you were talking about?"
"Yes, what do you think, not bad, right?"
"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮ I'll have to go inside to see."
Passing through the thick city gate, the two walked in hand in hand.
As soon as they entered the city, all kinds of shouts could be heard endlessly.
The pedestrians and vendors inside were wearing simple clothes from a certain era, walking in an orderly manner on the streets paved with green tiles. The lively scene was like a dream back to the ancient court.
"Tanghulu, bing tanghulu (candied hawthorns)!"
"Take a look at the rouge and powder, these are treasures that have been handed down from the palace!"
Inside and outside the city, two different worlds.
......
Lu Xuan and Su Yao were wearing couple's ancient costumes, blending into the crowd without any sense of abruptness.
Just like a young master and young lady who came out to play.
Su Yao's eyes were filled with surprise.
"All of this seems so real!"
"Lu Bao, have we traveled through time?!"
"How could that be, it's just a Cosplay convention."
Listening to the loud shouts of the people on the street, Lu Xuan silently gave a thumbs up to the extras in his heart.
This batch is really high quality!
Even he couldn't see any flaws in their acting skills, it wasn't for nothing that they rehearsed for so long!
He had to give them a raise when he got back!
"Let's go, let's go, let's go take a look over there."
"Okay!"
Su Yao's interest grew stronger and stronger.
The two walked hand in hand through this simple street.
"It's really amazing, their expressions, and clothes, especially when they look at the two of us, it really gives me the feeling of ancient people."
Looking at a pair of friends who 'happened to meet' beside her, after bowing to each other.
Su Yao couldn't help but exclaim.
"The movements are so standard! The quality of this year's Cosplayers is really high!"
In order to film, Su Yao had done a lot of research on ancient etiquette.
Naturally, she could tell at a glance whether they were doing it right or not.
Lu Xuan smiled mysteriously and didn't explain.
He took Su Yao's hand and walked towards the food street.
At the entrance, Lu Xuan bought Su Yao a string of tanghulu (candied hawthorns).
"Here, authentic ones!"
Su Yao's eyes widened as she watched Lu Xuan take out a few copper coins from his pocket and hand them to the vendor.
"What did you give him just now?"
"Copper coins, we bought tanghulu (candied hawthorns), of course we have to give people money!"
"One string of tanghulu (candied hawthorns) is three copper coins, very cheap!"
Su Yao took a bite of the tanghulu (candied hawthorns), then shook her head.
She felt that Lu Xuan was too deeply involved in the role.
"But, this tanghulu (candied hawthorns) is really delicious, especially this sugar coating, it's crispy and not sticky! It should be the best tanghulu (candied hawthorns) I've ever eaten."
"Then I'll buy two more strings?"
Su Yao refused.
"No, eating too much sugar will make you fat, I have to manage my figure well."
"This is one of the essential qualities of an actress, I don't want to be said to be fat!"
The two chatted all the way, walking and stopping.
Finally, they 'inadvertently' arrived at the entrance of an inn.
Looking at the inn in front of her, a sense of familiarity welled up in Su Yao's heart.
She couldn't help but stop.
"This inn..."
Lu Xuan also stood on the side of the road with her, looking at the inn together.
The waiter at the door immediately greeted them enthusiastically when he saw them.
"Two honorable guests, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
"Taste the special delicacies produced by our humble shop."
Lu Xuan nodded and led Su Yao in.
The waiter immediately shouted loudly from behind.
"Two distinguished guests, please come inside!"
At the same time, taking advantage of Su Yao's confusion, Lu Xuan subtly winked at a person to the side.
The extra immediately understood and ran towards the inner city.
