Chapter 34: Halfway
When arguments and contradictions reach an irreconcilable level, and no one can convince anyone, we must rely on facts that speak louder than words to verify right and wrong, and prove who is the coward and who is the one who really has courage.
"Okay, this is it, Xiyan, didn't you say you're amazing, you go!"
When the three of them came to the edge of the observation deck, the 30-centimeter-wide mirrored floor was used to connect the roof and the ground of the observation window, so when visitors stood here and looked at the scenery outside the window, they felt as if they were about to fall off a cliff. Song Qian stood in the normal area and said to An Xiyan preemptively.
"I don't! Last time, I left first, this time it should be Ernie you go first, maybe I'm kind, I'll pull Ernie back later, so that you don't be ridiculed! An Xiyan pouted and said, looking arrogant.
"No, what if you cheat, I don't believe you dare to go here!" Song Qian immediately asked.
"I won't cheat, the cheater is a puppy!"
"You said before that you'd rather be a puppy than go here, and I haven't forgotten it!"
"You don't care, if you want to go together, I won't go alone!" An Xiyan, who was pressed, shouted hard.
Song Qian, who had a hot brain, agreed without thinking: "Okay, let's go together, step by step, and see who can go far!" ”
"Jiang Zhican, you are the referee!" An Xiyan said angrily, standing on the same level as Song Qian, staring at Jiang Zhican, who suffered from the unjustified disaster.
"Okay, then I say one, you take one step together, I say two, you take a second step, okay?"
Jiang Zhican asked cooperatively, not wanting to provoke these two women who suddenly fell on the bar, lest the anger be transferred to him.
"Okay, you say."
An Xiyan and the two said in unison, staring at each other.
"One."
The two of them took a step forward without a single step apart.
"Two."
The two of them strangely shortened their steps at the same time, only taking half a step from before. Jiang Zhican's face turned black when he saw this, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
"Three, three, three..."
Jiang Zhican repeated it three times, but An Xiyan and Song Qian didn't seem to hear it, and seemed to have come to the sampan in the Venetian alley again, hugging each other and shivering, and finally squatted on the ground together, twisting their heads, and looking at Jiang Zhican pitifully with two pairs of big eyes.
"Nao-chan xi...
As if there was a trill, Jiang Zhican scratched his head a little weakly and asked, "Are you coming back?" ”
The two shook their heads at the same time: "Go to the other side!" ”
"I..." Jiang Zhican's face was bitter - he suddenly found that here, he was also a little afraid of heights...
In the end, the three of them successfully walked through the edge of shoking, and Jiang Zhican, who had his eyes closed, made the effort, and the two people he pulled led to guide the way, which was very strange and funny, attracting the attention of many tourists nearby. Jiang Zhican was helpless, especially when he found that there were other paths to reach the Sky Bathroom, which added a touch of sadness.
"We know!"
When Jiang Zhichan asked An Xiyan if the two knew that there were other paths, An Xiyan and the two said as a matter of course, "But we just want to go through the shoking edge, is there a problem?" ”
"Of course there is no problem." Jiang Zhican said in his heart, shaking his head at An Xiyan and the others.
After leaving this floor, the three of them went to the revolving restaurant of the Seoul Tower, then to the open-air plaza, and finally to the concentric lock suspension at the foot of the Seoul Tower, which is quite famous among young Koreans.
Hanging concentric locks is a popular activity among young people all over the world, and in Korea, most young couples choose to hang concentric locks under the Seoul Tower. An Xiyan plans to bring her teacher and father-in-law here to hang a concentric lock at that time, so let's take a look and experience it by the way.
Well, the point is to experience it.
Two beautiful girls wearing hats and masks each wrote fleshy words with a smile, and then held hands and hung concentric locks on a wishing tree.
"Zhicanxi, do you want to hang a handful?" Ahn Hee-yeon asked Jiang Zhican, who was standing in front of the railing and looking at the scenery below the mountain.
"No, you don't." Jiang Zhican shook his head and refused.
"Okay, but Ernie," An Xiyan turned her head to look at Song Qian, and said bitterly, "I'm so pitiful, you and Ni Kunxi came here to hang the concentric lock once in "My Knot", but I only hung the concentric lock with the girl, just now I finally sent an invitation to Zhichanxi, and I was rejected again, woo, I'm so pitiful!" ”
"Sister Xiyan, what do you want to write?" Jiang Zhican hesitated for a moment, took the concentric lock and asked.
"Nao-chan Xi will always love me!" An Xiyan shouted, looking full of vitality.
"Sister Xiyan, it's not good for you to be like this." Jiang Zhican sighed, lowered his head and wrote something on the wishing paper, then put the wishing paper into the cavity of the concentric lock, took An Xiyan's hand, and hung the concentric lock on the wishing tree with her.
"Naochan, what did you write?" Ahn Hee-yeon asked curiously.
"Words of blessing." Jiang Zhican said succinctly, took a photo with his mobile phone, and then said, "Sister Xiyan, Namsan Park is almost there, why don't you go to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Hanok Village?" ”
"Okay." An Xiyan nodded, and quietly glanced at Song Qian.
"Zhichan Xi, take a picture for me, En~ Use that heart-like statue as the background!" Song Qian understood and took Jiang Zhican to the other side. An Xiyan took the opportunity to remove the concentric lock with the key, and neatly put the concentric lock into her pocket and hid it.
Jiang Zhican, who was kept in the dark, helped Song Qian take the photo, and An Xiyan, who had a ghost in her heart, immediately pulled him down the mountain by cable car. After that, the three of them drove to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Hanok Village and other scenic spots in Jungro-gu, and had lunch on the way.
Gyeongbokgung Palace is a palace where the ancient Korean royal family lived, similar to the Forbidden City in China, but much smaller than the Forbidden City, and has appeared in many Korean TV movies. And Hanok Village, Bukchon Hanok Village to be precise, is where the ancient nobility lived, and even now, it is the main residence of the upper class of Korea, and a large number of traditional hanoks have been preserved, making it feel like traveling back in time and space to the past.
Jiang Zhichan and the three of them had all been to these places, and they didn't stay too long, and went to the nearby Insadong and Samcheongdong for a walk. Among them, Insadong is famous for its antique streets, and it is a center for buying and selling cultural goods in Seoul, and there are a variety of art shops, hanbok shops, and craft shops hidden in the dense cobwebbed alleys. Ahn Hee-yeon said that Ke Qiuche's father liked these things more, and Kang Zhican, who knew the news, carefully noted the locations of several good shops in preparation for the upcoming tour guide work.
As for Samcheong-dong, it is a traditional Korean treasure land, and its name is said to be called Samcheong-dong because of the clear mountains, clear water, and simple people's hearts. When many Koreans mention Samcheong-dong, they will use a very humane word - beautiful and cute. Here, a hutong hides a landscape, and a small shop tells a story.
When you walk through the mottled walls of Gyeongbokgung Palace, see the antiques of Insadong, and come to Samcheong-dong, you will feel a faint atmosphere of simple and elegant literature and art. The quaint traditional hanok on Samcheongdong Road blends perfectly with the modern café and gallery architecture; Quiet promenades, museums, and antique shops make it a place with a strong cultural atmosphere.
In addition, there are many small shops in Samcheong-dong. For example, a jewelry store called mail365 has everything from bracelets, earrings to necklaces and rings, and the price is not expensive, which is extremely in line with the nature of girls shopping for treasures, at least An Xiyan and Song Qian can't take a step after arriving here. There is also a candy store, because the candy in this place is extremely attractive and cute, so Jiang Zhican and the three of them bought a lot more. It's just that An Xiyan and the others bought it but didn't eat it much, which led to the fact that for a long time in the future, Jiang Zhican would have candy in his pocket, as if it was Doraemon, with a magical pocket.
