Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qin Mucheng naturally understood Ji Yuanyuan’s meaning and said generously, “Yeah, I’m jealous.”
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and pinched his arm, “Alright, alright. It’s not suitable to be jealous under such beautiful scenery.”
“My dear wife is right.” Qin Mucheng smiled.
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan rolled up the window and the temperature in the car gradually rose.
The two of them arrived at the hotel very quickly. After checking in, Qin
Mucheng packed up the daily necessities in his suitcase.
Although they had booked the best hotel, the conditions were limited.
However, neither of them had any complaints. They were not delicate people.
Qin Mucheng brought Ji Yuanyuan out after they were done packing.
It was already past four in the afternoon. If they were in B City, the sky would have already started to darken.
However, the sky in Tibet darkened a little later, so it was still bright outside at
this time.
The two of them held hands. As soon as they walked out of the hotel, a child in
Tibetan clothes ran over.
The child looked to be about ten years old. His hair was very short, and his face was a little red, so red that it was a little purple.
The locals were more or less red from the plateau, but the red on this child’s
face seemed to be particularly eye-catching.
The child stood in front of the two of them and raised his head to ask, “Are you going out to play? Do you need a tour guide?”
Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan looked at each other. They both felt this child was a little cute, and a smile appeared on their faces.
“Why? Do you have any recommendations?” Ji Yuanyuan took out a few candies
from her pocket and placed them in front of the child.
The child hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.
Before coming here, Ji Yuanyuan had seen on the Internet there would be children asking passersby for candy.
Therefore, she had prepared two packets of sweets before she came. She put a
few in her pocket when she came out just now.
After taking the candy, the child clenched his fist and punched his chest a few times, “Me. I’m very familiar with the surroundings. I can bring you guys around. It’s very cheap, only 20 yuan.”
This child looked to be around ten years old. Not only was he not timid in front of strangers, but he also took the initiative to recommend himself as a tour guide. Ji Yuanyuan could not help but look at him in a new light.
However, Ji Yuanyuan still had some concerns in her heart.
If they brought such a young child out, they would have to take responsibility if anything happened.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan’s hesitation, the child said anxiously, “I can give you a cheaper price. Ten yuan. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied.”
Just as Ji Yuanyuan was about to reject him, Qin Mucheng had already taken out his wallet and took out the money.
Ji Yuanyuan pressed down on his arm, a look of disapproval on his face.
Qin Mucheng smiled and patted the back of Ji Yuanyuan’s hand.
Then, he handed a five-dollar bill to the child and said gently, “Thank you, but we want to take a look around ourselves. Consider this money a tip for you.”
The child understood Qin Mucheng’s words. They did not want him to be a tour guide.
Therefore, the child’s expression was very disappointed.
At the same time, he reached out and pushed the money back to Qin Mucheng.
He said with a tired expression, “You don’t want me to be a tour guide, so I
can’t take your money.”
Under Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan’s shocked gazes, he ran away.
Qin Mucheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and stuffed the five yuan back into his wallet.
He took Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and sent her to the front passenger seat.
Then, he got into the car and said in a low voice, “Looks like I was too narrow-minded.”
The child was sincerely trying to attract business. He wanted to earn money through his own labor, not just money.
“The children here are all very simple and honest. They don’t have so many schemes.” Ji Yuanyuan laughed. “If it weren’t for the fact that I was afraid of an accident, I would really want to hire him and see his ability as a tour guide.” Qin Mucheng started the car, “Your concerns are right. It’s only right to be cautious in an unfamiliar place.”
Ji Yuanyuan fastened her seatbelt and looked in the direction where the child had left through the rearview mirror.
He returned to the hotel entrance and looked around. He was probably waiting
for his next customer.
Ji Yuanyuan did not take it seriously and quickly retracted her gaze.
The two of them did not have any purpose and drove around casually. Prayer flags could be seen everywhere, and pedestrians dressed in ethnic costumes were already breathtaking scenery.
The hotel was more than 70 kilometers away from the Potala Palace. It would take more than an hour to drive there.
Therefore, Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan woke up at six in the morning.
After tidying up and eating the breakfast provided by the hotel, they headed to the Potala Palace.
Winter in Tibet was still freezing.
At the very least, it was much colder than B City.
On the way, there was snow everywhere. Qin Mucheng had to be extra careful.
“I’m starting to regret it now.” Ji Yuanyuan looked at the road ahead and said in a low voice.
“Regret what?” Qin Mucheng looked straight ahead.
“I regret asking you to come here with me. We should have come in spring or autumn. We should be going to Hainan or the Maldives this season.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s heart ached for him more than regret.
Qin Mucheng could not help but chuckle. “It’s not too late to regret now. The hotel we’re staying in is less than ten kilometers from the airport.”
Ji Yuanyuan choked and did not say anything.
Qin Mucheng smiled even more happily, “Since we’re already here, let’s just take it as it is. Even if you regret it, I won’t go back with you. This place is quite good. Once I get here, I even feel that my soul has been purified.
“Can you not say such pretentious words?” Ji Yuanyuan blinked.
“In life, you have to take a few risks. Since we’re already here, let’s not think about anything else. Just bury your head and walk forward. When you really can’t take it anymore, it’s not too late to go back.” Qin Mucheng said softly. Besides, other than the cold weather and the difficult roads, there was nothing for them to retreat.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed ahead and said, “Isn’t that the kid we met yesterday afternoon?”
Qin Mucheng fixed his eyes and looked forward.
They saw two children standing by the roadside not far away, waving at them. A boy and a girl. The girl was slightly older, while the boy was somewhat younger.
That boy was the one they had met at the hotel entrance yesterday afternoon. They knew each other, so Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan were not as wary. The car stopped in front of them. Ji Yuanyuan rolled down the window and realized that the two children were wearing thin clothes.
The little boy changed out of his ethnic costume and put on a cotton-padded jacket.
The thin cotton jacket clung to his body, making him look a little small. Only the child’s hands were exposed..
