Volume 1 Chapter 11: The Eighteenth Floor

"Attention passengers, the train has arrived!"

The radio at the front of the box suddenly sounded, which woke up Zhao Meng, who was asleep. After rubbing his eyes, he subconsciously looked to the side, didn't Jia Yuan say that he would wake himself up after standing up...

Seeing this, Zhao Meng was a little stunned. At this time, Jia Yuan was leaning on his shoulder and falling asleep. Looking at it, Zhao Meng couldn't help but feel a little demented, her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, her ruddy face was like a begonia, and her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders on both sides, at this time she looked like a sleeping beauty...

"Wake up."

In addition to being surprised, Zhao Meng still didn't forget to call her up...

After a few seconds, Jia Yuan opened his eyes in a daze...

"It's... Arrived? ”

"Yes, it's already there."

After confirming his arrival at the station, Jia Yuan hurriedly shook his head, as if he was shaking off the sleepiness and haze on his face. After she was fully awake, she and Zhao Meng stepped off the train together...

This is an ancient town called "Eighteen Floors", located in a corner of the city. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, merchants have gathered here. It has a long history, and although the administrative area and institutions have changed several times, the name Eighteenth Floor has been used to this day, so it is called the "Historical Loft"...

As soon as they entered the town, Zhao Meng and Jiayuan smelled a strong Jiangnan flavor. Cross the Wolong Bridge and walk on North Street. Soon, they were on the river. On the shore, white smoke from the coal furnace rises into the air. In the distance, winding green hills loom in the distance. Walking here, it has the meaning of "there are people in the depths of the alley"...

Walking and walking, Zhao Meng and Jiayuan came to the door of a department store. As soon as I saw the antique items in the store, Jiayuan's whole person was instantly full of spirit...

"Honey, let's go in and have a look! There's a lot of fun stuff here! ”

"Uh-huh."

After walking into the department store, Jia Yuan's eyes suddenly fell on an umbrella woven with silk. After looking at it for a while, Jia Yuan picked up the umbrella...

"Do you think this umbrella is a good match for me? I think this umbrella is so beautiful! I've never seen an umbrella like this! ”

"It's a good match, and there is no sense of disobedience."

"Yes! I'm so happy to hear you say that! ”

Jia Yuan said with a grin, and after handing the umbrella to Zhao Meng, she walked towards the other cabinet...

Cartoon characters made of bamboo and utensils carved out of wood make Jia Yuan very fond of them. So, Jiayuan put all these things into the shopping bag that Zhao Meng was carrying...

After settling the account, Jiayuan happily pulled Zhao Meng out of the store...

"The stuff in this shop is so exquisite! If I hadn't been able to hold them, I'd love to buy them all. ”

"Uh... Is it..."

As she walked, Jia Yuan pulled out the silk umbrella, and after standing on the side of the bridge, she carefully opened the umbrella...

"What do you think of this look? It's not like those Jiangnan ladies! ”

Jia Yuan looked at Zhao Meng and asked, she felt that she had completely become a Jiangnan woman now...

"It's pretty good."

Zhao Meng said, looking at Jia Yuan at this time, she is like a delicate woman holding a silk umbrella and standing in the hazy smoke and rain...

"Then let's take a picture!"

"Hmm... Okay..."

After taking a group photo, Zhao Meng and Jiayuan continued to walk forward...

On the stone road, there is an atmosphere of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. However, the tea and horse market is still prevalent. Walking around the corner, on the waterscape promenade by a stream, Zhao Meng and Jiayuan heard an incomparably beautiful tune, which was played by a pipa girl sitting on the stage of the promenade music-themed restaurant...

Listening to this beautiful song, Zhao Meng and Jia Yuan seemed to be taken to a fairyland-like place, and this beautiful melody brought them a very comfortable feeling...

"Are you hungry?"

Jia Yuan looked at Zhao Meng next to her and asked, and at the same time, she covered her stomach. After walking for so long, her stomach seems to be a little hungry...

"Hmm... It's okay... Are you hungry? ”

"Uh-huh!"

"Then we..."

"Then let's go to that music-themed restaurant on the porch! It looks like it's very popular, and there are a lot of people in it! ”

"Uh-huh."

So, Zhao Meng and Jia Yuan walked towards the music-themed restaurant on the corridor...

After entering the wide hall, Zhao Meng and Jia Yuan looked around. Almost all the seats near the stage have been taken by others. After going around in a circle, they sat in a corner by the window, and although it was far away from the Getai, they could see the intricate ancient buildings outside the window...

After a while, the young waiter came over with two cups of steaming tea. After putting the tea on the table, the waiter handed the menu on the counter to Zhao Meng. Then, he took out the small notebook and pen he had brought with him, as if waiting for them to say the name of the dish they were ordering...

After getting the menu, Zhao Meng handed the menu to Jiayuan...

"You can do something."

"Hey! It's me every time, so let's get you some this time! ”

Jia Yuan said with a smile, and then put the menu back in front of Zhao Meng. Indeed, every time she and Zhao Meng go out to eat, almost all of them are the dishes she ordered, and this time she has to order them from someone who has not ordered...

"Uh... Then I'll order a few... When the time comes, you can see that what I ordered may not be to your liking. ”

"Uh-huh!"

After Zhao Meng finished ordering, he handed the menu to Jiayuan. After looking at the dishes on the menu with circles, Jia Yuan put on a thoughtful expression. It seems that a few more dishes will have to be added ...

After Jiayuan also finished ordering, the young waiter took the menu and walked into the distance...

"What do you think of the scenery here?"

Jia Yuan asked with a grin, the feeling it brought to her here was very comfortable...

"It's pretty good, it has the style of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Hahaha, if you think it's good. I only came across this place after looking through the tourist brochure for a while, and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. ”

"That means you have a good eye! The eighteenth floor is indeed a nice place. ”

"Uh-huh! This time, we must have a good time, maybe this will be my last trip! ”

Jia Yuan said casually, she didn't shy away from her potential terminal illness...

"You're saying that again..."

"Hee-hee, just kidding!"

As he spoke, Jia Yuan grinned again. Looking at such a good fate, Zhao Meng's heart was more or less apprehensive...

She... Is she really going to die...
