Chapter 301 Bao, Happy Birthday

"We're already here."

Drawn by the waiter's greeting, the two entered the inn.

The waiter inside immediately rushed over.

"Welcome, honored guests! Are you here for a meal or a stay?"

Su Yao was surprised.

"You can actually eat here?"

"Miss, what are you saying? What inn doesn't serve food?"

Su Yao was increasingly satisfied with this 'Cosplay event.'

This restaurant!

I'm blown away!

"Let's just grab something to eat," Lu Xuan suggested.

Su Yao naturally agreed.

"The view from our second floor is quite nice, you can see the scenery of the street."

"No need, we'll just find a place to sit."

"As for food... bring us some of your specialties."

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

Lu Xuan casually gave the waiter a couple of coins as a tip.

This immediately made the waiter beam with joy, and he scurried off to the kitchen.

(This stuff can be exchanged for real money!)

Su Yao glanced at Lu Xuan's chest, a little puzzled.

"How can you pull so much stuff out of your clothes?"

Lu Xuan flicked her forehead and said,

"Silly girl, of course it's because I did my research well."

"Since we're here, we have to do as the Romans do, so naturally, we need to prepare some ancient currency."

"If we use modern currency, they won't recognize it."

"You have way too much stuff in your clothes!"

Su Yao rubbed her hands together, looking excited.

"Let me feel around too~"

"Hey, hey, hey! Miss, please have some self-respect!"

"Come on, come on~"

Before long, the waiter came up with the food.

Three dishes and a soup, with generous portions.

"Our most famous dish is this beggar's chicken. We specially learned how to make it from the capital, so please enjoy it."

The waiter introduced the dish.

The two of them were hungry after walking around for half a day, so they began to eat.

"Speaking of which, Lu Bao, have you noticed that the decor here looks familiar?"

While eating, Su Yao asked casually.

Lu Xuan didn't want to give Su Yao time to think, so he put a piece of meat in her bowl.

"Aren't all ancient inns the same?"

"Eat quickly, or it'll get cold and won't taste as good."

"We still have many places to visit!"

"Okay~"

Su Yao thought Lu Xuan made sense, so she decided not to think about it anymore.

She began to seriously enjoy the 'scenic area' cuisine.

"It's really good. This chicken is better than any chicken I've had before."

"This restaurant's cooking is great. No, it seems like the cooking everywhere here is great!"

"If that candied hawthorn we had earlier opened a shop where we live, it would definitely make money."

The two of them devoured all the food on the table, not caring about their image at all, and were very happy.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two left the inn.

"Where are we going now?"

"Let's just stroll around and digest."

When they first came in, Su Yao was pulling Lu Xuan along in front.

But later on, it completely turned into Lu Xuan pulling Su Yao along.

Su Yao looked at the surrounding scenery and felt more and more familiar.

But she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

In the end, she could only attribute it to having seen it when she was filming before.

After all, as Lu Xuan said, aren't they all the same?

Seeing more and more people around, Su Yao said with a smile.

"It's much more bustling here~"

Lu Xuan nodded and said,

"This is the city center, so naturally it's more bustling."

"The inner city is just ahead."

Su Yao was a little excited and said,

"There's an inner city too!! Will there be buildings like a city lord's mansion?"

"Do you think we'll run into those armored guards?"

Lu Xuan was a little amused by her idea.

Su Yao had been reading a lot of novels lately, and her mind was always filled with strange ideas.

As they walked, they came to a smaller city gate.

The plaque read, "Inner City."

Filled with curiosity, the two of them stepped inside.

However, there was no majestic city lord's mansion.

Instead, there was an open space similar to a soccer field in the city.

Logically speaking, this kind of design wasn't very scientific. After all, the inner city was a place where every inch of land was precious and should be filled with buildings.

Even the most insane designer wouldn't leave such a large open space.

Wasn't that a waste of money!

Seeing such a large open space, Su Yao was a little dumbfounded.

"What the heck? Where's my big city lord's mansion?"

"......"

Lu Xuan naturally couldn't conjure up a city lord's mansion for Su Yao.

But he had something even better than that.

Before Su Yao could react, Lu Xuan pulled her towards the small hill in front of them.

"Let's go, maybe there's something nice to see."

"What could be nice to see..."

Su Yao pouted.

The strong sense of disappointment made her expectations disappear a lot.

But she was still pulled up the slope by Lu Xuan.

"Relax, we'll just take a look, and if it's not good, we'll go back."

"Okay, okay~"

Before reaching the top of the slope, Lu Xuan suddenly stopped.

Su Yao, who was still looking around, bumped into his back.

Duang~

"That hurt! You bad guy, why did you suddenly..."

Amidst Su Yao's questioning, Lu Xuan stepped aside, revealing the view ahead.

"Here."

When she saw what was in front of her, Su Yao was instantly stunned!

She thought that after crossing the hillside, it would just be an unremarkable open space, but she didn't expect it to be an ocean!

A red ocean!

A gentle breeze blew, and red dandelions covered the mountains and plains, rising in the wind!

They slowly fell from the sky and the ground, right before Su Yao's eyes.

It was like a red rain!

"...So...beautiful..."

Memories flashed through Su Yao's mind, finally settling on a novel.

*The Legend of Sword and Fairy*

'That day, Zhao Ling'er said to Li Xiaoyao that she wanted to see the red dandelions again.'

Red dandelions are a kind of destiny.

Representing the destiny of the descendants of Nüwa to leave the world!

But Su Yao still liked them very much.

She remembered that when she heard this scene, she almost hung on Lu Xuan's body, constantly telling him.

"I really like this scene! Lu Bao, tell me more!"

"It's so romantic~ Although it's a destiny, but..."

"It's really beautiful!"

"It's a pity that it's in a novel. If it really appeared in the real world, that would be great."

Su Yao didn't expect it.

What she casually said back then had now truly appeared before her eyes!

Lu Xuan smiled and turned his head.

Wherever his eyes could reach, there was a beautiful woman in plain clothes, and red dandelions filled the sky!

His voice, along with the breeze and the red rain, gently entered Su Yao's ears.

"Yao, happy birthday."

"Happy...birthday?"

These four words seemed to have magic, instantly pulling Su Yao back to reality.

No wonder this place felt so familiar!

No wonder she had a feeling of familiarity in that inn.

No wonder Lu Xuan brought her here!

Today... was her birthday.

And everything in front of her was prepared by Lu Xuan for her...

A birthday gift?!

Su Yao wasn't stupid. When Lu Xuan said those words, she already understood everything.

"That's right, today is my birthday..."

"Really, I forgot, but you still remember!"

"Huh? Why is my face wet... Lu Bao... do you... have any tissues?"

Lu Xuan lovingly wiped away Su Yao's tears and said softly,

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this gift?"

Su Yao sniffled, raised her head, and kissed him.

"Hmph, I love you to death!"
