Haiyi River View!
Underground parking garage, level B2!
Su Qingya followed behind Su Chen, a little confused. "Bro, aren't we taking your car? I remember your Volkswagen is parked on B1, isn't it? Why are we going down to B2?"
"What else would we be doing? Of course we're taking the car!" As he spoke, Su Chen stopped in front of an SUV hidden under a car cover.
Before Su Qingya could even react, she saw Su Chen whip off the car cover, revealing a yellow SUV.
"Whoa! This car is so cool!" Su Qingya was immediately captivated by the car's awesome look and color.
She hurried to the front of the car and looked at the letters on the hood.
"Aston Martin?"
"An Aston Martin?" A gasp echoed through the parking garage.
Su Qingya clapped a hand over her mouth, her eyes wide as she stared blankly at Su Chen.
"B-Bro, is this car yours?" Su Qingya's face was filled with disbelief.
Although she wasn't a huge car enthusiast, she was certainly no stranger to the name Aston Martin.
It was a name synonymous with luxury cars.
"Uh-huh. Who else's would it be?" Su Chen said as he pulled out the crystal Aston Martin key and pressed the unlock button.
BEEP BEEP! The headlights flashed twice!
"AHHHHHHH! It's real!" Su Qingya excitedly opened the car door and jumped in.
Watching Su Qingya look all around the car's interior, Su Chen chuckled and carried the luggage to the trunk.
After putting the luggage away, as soon as Su Chen got in the car, Su Qingya leaned over, holding the Aston Martin's registration papers.
"Bro, this car is really yours! Where did you get so much money? You didn't get kept by some rich sugar mommy in Shanghai, did you?"
"How could I ever be kept by a sugar mommy? Am I the kind of guy who lives off a woman?"
"You absolutely are!" Su Qingya nodded furiously.
"Bro, you're handsome, you have a great body, and a sunny personality—you're totally a sugar mommy's favorite!"
Hearing this, Su Chen reached out and pinched Su Qingya's nose. "Your brother is a decent man!"
"What kind of decent big brother bullies his little sister like this!" Su Qingya swatted his hand away and wrinkled her delicate nose.
"Alright, it's getting late. Time to go!" Su Chen said, starting the car.
The roar of the Aston Martin's engine made Su Qingya even more excited. She took out her phone and snapped several selfies, not forgetting to take a couple of shots of Su Chen too.
"Bro, is it okay if I post these to my feed?"
Su Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "Don't post them for now. Let's wait a while."
"Okay..." Su Qingya pouted, a little disappointed.
She had been planning to show off on her feed and let her girlfriends see what a real big brother was like!
Soon, the disappointment vanished from Su Qingya's face, and she started playing on her phone.
'Hehehe, eat your hearts out!'
'You little bitches want to meet my brother? In your dreams!'
Hearing the muttering from beside him, Su Chen glanced over at Su Qingya in the passenger seat, who was busy chatting on her phone.
He snuck a peek at her phone, and when he saw the chat history, he felt a flock of crows fly over his head.
"Ahhh, Qingya, your brother looks so handsome driving that Aston Martin!"
"Qingya, does your brother have a girlfriend? Would you mind if I became your sister-in-law?"
"Qingya~ Share your bro's WeChat with me!"
Watching Su Qingya completely absorbed in her chat, giggling from time to time...
Su Chen shook his head helplessly and decided to ignore her.
...
"Bro, where are we going?" Su Qingya asked, a little confused, when she noticed the car was taking an exit ramp.
"We're getting off the highway. You think we're going to drive all the way to Shanghai in one go? If it were just me, I could just crash at a service station, but I figured you should get a good night's sleep in a real bed."
"Hee hee, but this means you have to spend more money, bro! Bro, we're in Jiangcheng!" Su Qingya said, looking at the city name on top of the toll booth in the distance.
"Mhm. Is there anywhere in Jiangcheng you want to see? If so, we can stay an extra day tomorrow."
Su Qingya thought for a moment, then pulled out her phone to search. Finally, she shook her head and said, "Nowhere I'm dying to see, but we could check out the night market and eat some Jiangcheng specialties. What do you think, bro?"
"Sure."
After getting off the highway, they followed Su Qingya's directions straight to Hubu Alley.
They found a relatively large hotel near Hubu Alley.
A funny thing happened when they were checking in at the front desk.
The receptionist mistook them for a couple and even recommended their special waterbed room.
After checking in, the two headed straight for Hubu Alley.
Hubu Alley, one of Jiangcheng's top ten sights, is also known as "The Number One Street for Han-style Snacks." The name alone tells you that the place is overflowing with delicious food. The world-famous Yellow Crane Tower is also located just south of Hubu Alley, making it a tourist street that combines fine food with beautiful scenery.
By the time Su Chen and Su Qingya arrived at Hubu Alley, it was already 7:15 PM.
The place was just getting lively.
"Hurry, hurry! The Yellow Crane Tower is about to light up! I want to take pictures!"
"Wait for me! We still have about ten minutes, don't rush!"
Hearing the urgent voices of the tourists, Su Chen and Su Qingya exchanged a look and quickened their pace to follow.
Perhaps because it was summer vacation, the place was packed with tourists. By the time the two of them reached the Yellow Crane Tower, the area was already full of people waiting to film.
Even though they were a bit far away, they still had a great view of the Yellow Crane Tower's beauty.
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Light it up!"
The tourists on site shouted in unison, and Su Qingya, caught up in the excitement, joined in as well.
At the shout of "Light it up!", the atmospheric lights of the Yellow Crane Tower instantly switched on.
Bathed in the lights, the Yellow Crane Tower, one of the Ten Great Towers of China, revealed its beauty.
Su Qingya pulled Su Chen into several photos with her.
"I didn't expect the Yellow Crane Tower's light show to be so beautiful. The photos came out great!" Su Qingya said with great satisfaction, looking at the pictures on her phone.
"Alright, alright. You can admire them later tonight. Can we please go eat first? My stomach is growling."
Su Chen was a bit exasperated. If he hadn't dragged Su Qingya away, she would have stayed there taking pictures for another half hour.
When visiting Jiangcheng, the number one snack to try is, of course, Jiangcheng's hot dry noodles!
They found a hot dry noodle shop called "Cai Ji" and spent eight yuan on two bowls.
"It's actually sesame paste!" Su Chen was a little surprised when he saw the sauce on the noodles. In his experience, sesame paste was something people in the north ate a lot of; this was the first time he'd had it in the south.
"Not bad, it's pretty good!" Su Chen took a bite. The fragrance of the noodles mixed with the sesame paste was a unique and delicious flavor.
Hubu Alley is over a hundred meters long. By the time Su Chen and Su Qingya had walked to the end, more than an hour had passed.
Both of them were holding a paper bowl in their left hand and carrying several bags in their right, looking utterly content.
