Chapter 815 I Won’t Save You This Time (Extra 1)
Still Like a Dream (I)
When Xiao Ruo woke up from his dream, the unofficial history book he bought from the street stall was still lying next to him.
For a moment she was confused as to whether she was awake or still in a dream.
He pinched himself gently, and when he felt the pain in his hand, Xiao Ruo finally felt something real.
Realizing that she was really back, she quickly stood up and walked to the dressing mirror in her room. Looking at her younger self, Xiao Ruo's hand couldn't help but touch her.
Even though she later used modern knowledge to make mirrors similar to those in modern society, there was still a big difference in craftsmanship.
"Ruoruo, are you up?" Outside the door was her mother, whom she hadn't seen for many years. Before she could respond, the door was opened.
Seeing that her daughter was still in her pajamas, Xiao's mother patted her with a smile and said, "Get up, why don't you change your clothes? We agreed that our whole family will take the high-speed train to Yuzhou for a trip today."
The city where the Xiao family lives is located in the south, very close to Yuzhou, and only 30 minutes away by high-speed rail.
Originally they were planning to go on a self-driving tour, but Xiao Ruo didn't want to drive, so they agreed to take the high-speed rail together.
Xiao Ruo is a sophomore student. It is summer vacation now, and his parents think it would be a nice idea for the whole family to go on a trip together.
She murmured "hmm" softly and went inside to change clothes.
The luggage had been packed last night, so Xiao Ruo could go out as soon as he picked up his things. In a good mood, he started this trip that was delayed for many years.
They did not sign up for a tour group, but Xiao Ruo booked a homestay early on.
The boss was very nice and arranged for someone to come to the train station to pick up the three of them.
Mr. Xiao is a typical father - taciturn, but considerate to his wife and daughter, and he basically takes care of all the luggage by himself.
He even carried Xiao's mother's water bottle on his back.
"Ruoruo, come and have a drink of water." Just after getting off the train and before leaving the station, Xiao's father bought a bottle of ice drink for his daughter from the vending machine with his not very skilled skills.
Xiao Ruo was stunned for a moment, then took the water and said, "Thank you, Dad!"
He had served his daughter before, but this was the first time he had seen such courtesy, which made Father Xiao a little excited.
Seeing her husband's useless look, Xiao's mother pulled him aside and said, "My daughter has grown up and knows how to be grateful. You are not used to it yet."
It's time to grow up! After all those years in the palace, and the days when she became a wife and a mother, Xiao Ruo felt that her mental age was at least sixty or seventy years old.
As they exited the station, they saw the B&B’s billboard—a very Chinese-style poster.
"Hello, I'm a staff member of Caiyueyuan." The man introduced himself, "The place we are going to stay this time is a famous private residence in Yuzhou."
Xiao Ruo was very surprised when she heard the name. She thought that her "dream" was just derived from the unofficial history she read over there.
I didn't expect that a closed loop could be formed at this moment.
Seeing that her daughter didn't say anything, Xiao's mother asked, "What happened to Ruoruo? Did we get on the wrong car? Isn't this the name of the B&B you booked?"
The staff were obviously afraid that they had made a mistake, so they quickly took out their mobile phones to confirm. After confirming the name and phone number matched, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"I just thought the name sounded a bit like a person's name, so I was a little surprised." Xiao Ruo asked in a cover-up, "You just said this was a private residence, why did you change it to a B&B now!"
"Oh! That house was the villa of the Chen family, a wealthy family in Yuzhou. After liberation, many of the treasures in it are national treasures.
In addition, the courtyard has both northern and southern characteristics in terms of structure and layout, so the Chen family donated it to the government. Now that it is developing tourism resources, it has been converted into a homestay. "
"It's rare that a house in Yuzhou has northern characteristics!" Father Xiao was curious about the reason. "Could it be that the Chen family migrated from the north?"
The staff were more or less related to the Chen family, so they knew a little about their ancestors: "The Chen family was born and raised in the south, but one of the heads of the family found a woman who grew up in the north as his wife.
This courtyard was built to please her, and the south is humid, and his wife often suffered from sore hands and feet in her old age, so fire walls were built in many places there. "
Cough cough cough! Xiao Ruo, who was drinking water, suddenly choked, and the violent coughing interrupted the staff's introduction.
Xiao Ruo's face was red, and it was unclear whether it was because he had coughed and lost his breath, or for some other reason.
They soon arrived at the entrance of Caiyueyuan.
"Aren't you going through the front door?" Xiao Ruo was already used to that entrance and exit, and he felt uncomfortable with the sudden change to the side door.
"Huh?" The staff member was very surprised, "How does Miss Xiao know if this is the main entrance?"
Because a lot of information and pictures on the Internet basically show this door when introducing the place, and this door has also been renovated, so basically no one who comes here for the first time will know that this is a side door.
"I think this door is a little small!" Xiao Ruo casually made an excuse for himself.
"Actually, this door is not small!" At this moment, a young man in a Chinese shirt happened to pass by. "The size of the door here is actually exactly the same as the main gate, but it looks different because of the different orientation."
The young man walked up to the staff member and said, "Hello, my name is Yan Zhen, and I'm a police officer from the police station near the scenic area."
The Xiao family's parents, who were originally a little afraid of this tall and strong black guy, immediately changed their opinion of him after hearing that he was a policeman.
"Cousin, why are you here?" The staff member glanced at Yan Zheng and said a little embarrassedly, "Today is my first time doing reception work, please give me some face."
Yan Zheng disagreed: "If you can do it well, why do you need me to give you face? The customer just asked a question, but you didn't answer it first, and asked it back. It's really..."
Staff member Chen Yan felt a little shy for a moment.
"I'm on leave today and I'm also a non-staff member of this hospital. If you don't mind, let me give you the explanation!" Without waiting for Chen Yan to "give up" his identity as a staff member, Yan Zhen took out a badge from his pocket and hung it on himself.
"Can that policeman also do a part-time job like this?" Father Xiao always felt that this young man had some intention.
Yan Zhen looked very calm: "Although Caiyueyuan belongs to the government in name, our Yan and Chen families still have certain ownership rights and are also involved in the management here, so this is considered our own family business."
"The boy is pretty good!" Yan's mother didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She thought Yan was really outstanding.
However, Xiao Ruo felt that this person looked familiar.
