CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 280 ORIGINAL SIN 89

Although Yun Shuangshuang felt that Liu Man Ni wasn’t deserving of Feng Jinyan’s goodness, she could understand why Feng Jinyan acted this way. After all, it was her own daughter who had been lost since childhood, and it was inevitable to feel guilt.

Even though she was initially uncomfortable with the thought, Yun Shuangshuang quickly let it go. No matter what, Feng Jinyan had always cared for her the most. Even in her previous life, despite the guilt towards her eldest daughter Liu Man Ni, her deepest affection was still for Yun Shuangshuang. Ultimately, the love she had for her mother and the love her mother had for her was the same, and that was enough.

The citizens of H City and the tourists visiting H City discovered that something big was happening in H City! This significant event was occurring at H City’s most famous Feilong Lake!

The history of Feilong Lake in H City can be said to be even older than that of the ancient city itself. The enormous size of Feilong Lake is such that, despite H City being large, it wraps around Feilong Lake in a crescent shape, surrounding less than half of the lake.

In the ancient district of H City, there is a thousand-year-old temple which faces Feilong Lake directly. In the past, tourists would come to enjoy three things here: offering incense at the temple, sightseeing at the lake, and dining by the shore. But recently, visiting tourists have been frustrated to find that one of these three pleasures is missing—the lake sightseeing is gone!

Feilong Lake in front of the ancient temple has been enclosed, leaving only a small entrance for people to come and go. Most of the items being brought in and out by visitors or citizens are large bamboo stalks. This led everyone to speculate: what is being constructed at Feilong Lake?

Is all this bamboo meant to build something? Could it be a bamboo building on the lake? Or are they building a pier or perhaps bamboo boats?

Everyone’s imaginations ran wild with guesses, but there was no definitive answer, and each person insisted that their speculation was correct!

Fortunately, the true answer was soon revealed. After Feilong Lake had been enclosed for months, the mystery was unveiled, and the people of H City discovered a new water town on Feilong Lake!

As soon as this water town appeared, the H City television station began massive promotional campaigns for this water park town that combined entertainment, leisure, shopping, and accommodation! Suddenly, people flooded in to be among the first to experience it!

Finally taking advantage of a seven-day holiday, Liu Ying and Lu Jian had begun planning their travel itinerary well in advance, aiming to venture a bit farther out this time to truly enjoy their trip.

Although the nearby Red Dust was endlessly attractive, its proximity made it ideal for weekend outings. When presented with a longer holiday, venturing farther was natural. The country’s landscapes are endless, each place holding its unique beauty, and seeing them all ensures this life isn’t wasted.

After researching their plan, the duo decided to first visit the historical city H City to savor the ancient town’s charm, then have a tour around Feilong Lake that countless poets have praised. Finally, they’ll burn incense at the thousand-year-old temple and enjoy a vegetarian meal—a plan set to take up two days of their time.

In Liu Ying and Lu Jian’s opinion, tourism is about enjoying life. The beauty of the sceneries should be savored slowly, appreciated thoroughly, and most importantly, without feeling fatigued. After all, the epitome of a great trip is returning with both body and mind refreshed.

The idea of rushing through countless attractions during a vacation, only to end up tired and sleeping off the exhaustion or returning to work in discomfort defeats the purpose of travel’s fundamental goal: relaxation and rejuvenation.

Upon arriving in H City, Liu Ying and Lu Jian slowly explored the historical city following their plan. Upon reaching Feilong Lake, they received an unexpected surprise! There was a bustling new water town on Feilong Lake filled with people!

A place so novel could not be missed by these adventure-loving individuals. They went over immediately, initially suspecting there might be an entrance fee. Surprisingly, the water town was free, allowing anyone to enter at their leisure.

Excited, Liu Ying and Lu Jian stepped onto the water town, discovering its foundation wasn’t land but rather thick bamboo rafts interlinked. Despite floating on water, it was steady and stable like solid ground. Liu Ying even jumped twice playfully, finding the bamboo surface as firm as land itself.

The pair took a few more steps and soon saw a circular railing over a meter tall. Inside the railing wasn’t bamboo flooring, but an open space directly above the lake, where water lilies were blooming, their petals soft pink and white, and lotus leaves a jade-green hue!

They also noticed that throughout the water town, similar railings surrounded areas, leaving the water exposed, and filled with water plants like lilies and reeds!

This water town is extensive—though not truly as large as a real town, it occupies considerable space. Before entering, Liu Ying and Lu Jian estimated that exploring the entire area could take up most of a day.

On the town, there were many houses constructed with bamboo, all exquisite. Though they followed the same style, the interior décors varied greatly. There were stores adorned with romantic pieces, clothing shops that embodied democratic spirit, a fragrant food street, scattered dessert houses, coffee shops, and even small inns for guests.

The inns were clean and tidy, and though small, they were full of charming ethnic character. Intrigued, Liu Ying and Lu Jian booked a room. The room, though small, was reasonably priced.

Placing their backpacks in the inn’s room, Liu Ying and Lu Jian, now unencumbered, planned to thoroughly explore this unique water town.

As seasoned food enthusiasts, their first stop naturally was the food street. This long street showcased a wide variety of culinary delights, almost encompassing flavors from across the country.

Liu Ying and Lu Jian were amazed. Typically, the places they visited featured food streets with local specialties predominantly.

Even if those food streets offered dishes from other regions, they were limited in number. Never had they witnessed such a comprehensive collection of national cuisines as seen here, with some specialties they had never encountered before!

As food lovers, wasting food was shameful, yet the notion of not tasting delectable dishes was more intolerable. Liu Ying and Lu Jian hesitantly decided to sample a bite from each snack, aiming to sweep through the entire food street.

But as foodies often do, once tasting, initial resolutions are soon forgotten. This dish is delicious, a bit more can’t hurt. That dish is tasty too, just a tad more. Oh, this one’s even better, a few more bites won’t be much!
