C18 Just like an Ordinary Lover
As the plane entered its smooth phase of flight, my discomfort lessened.
There was a certain distance between A City and Spring City, so I needed to fly for a few hours. Thus, I put down my chair and started to catch up on my sleep.
In the haze of her pajamas, she felt someone pull down the light shield. She even asked the flight attendant for a small blanket to cover me.
The young and beautiful air stewardess could not help but exclaim in admiration, "Mr. Ou, your wife is so lucky. You are so young and yet so considerate to girls."
"Is that so?" There was also joy in Ou Jia Rui's tone.
I hadn't actually fallen asleep yet, but I could only pretend to be asleep.
A long time later, during a casual conversation, Ojira told me that he knew I hadn't fallen asleep, and that my trembling eyelashes had long since exposed my inner stag.
It's just that at that time, I was still stuck in a cage that I personally weaved. It was hard for me to love someone, and it was also hard for me to believe that I was loved by someone else.
When the plane arrived in Spring City, I was awakened by Ojira.
Spring City was a very warm southern city, and because of it, it had this name.
As soon as I stepped off the plane, I was covered in sweat along with Ojairi, who was wearing a thick winter coat.
Xuan Zi had arranged things so that nothing could leak out. The people who came out of the airport to pick us up had been waiting for a long time.
"Where are you planning to stay this time, Director Ou? There's a luxurious five-star hotel in Spring City, but it's quite far from where you're going. There are many local residents there, and although it's not as luxurious as the hotel, the service and hygiene are not bad either." The driver suggested as he drove.
I thought that with his status, he would not hesitate to choose a five-star hotel.
Unexpectedly, he looked at me and said, "Where do you think is more suitable for us to live?"
"If we're going to have a wedding at the lake," I told him honestly, "it would be the best place to stay, because it would be very troublesome if the guests came to stay in the hotel. We should check out the accommodation around the lake in advance, and there would be a lot less trouble."
Ou Jia Rui nodded her head in agreement. "Then let's go to the lodging house. You can find the best lodging house there and reserve two rooms."
"Alright."
When I reached the lake, I took off my heavy coat and jumped out of the car.
The air was so fresh that it felt like he was washing his lungs with every breath he took.
The driver took our luggage to find a place to stay, and I walked along the lake with Ojairi.
The lake was clear enough to see the bottom. Because the air was good, it was very rare to see blue sky and white clouds reflected in the water. The sky and the water connected, making it seem as beautiful as a fairyland.
As the temperature here was rather high, Ou Jia Rui also took off her jacket to keep warm.
He was wearing only a loose gray sweater and khaki pants. His long sleeves attracted the attention of a few people around him.
I'm used to seeing the business elite of Ojarui, so I find this kind of appearance particularly pleasing to the eyes.
They slowly walked by the lake while discussing the layout of the area and the series of sudden situations with Ou Jia Rui.
Occasionally, a few waterfowl would fly across the wide surface of the lake, and my mood would relax.
It was late in the evening when the driver came to pick us up.
After living in the residential area, he found out that the living quarters were similar to the presidential suite in a hotel. Each of the rooms had their own small bedrooms and various functional halls. However, they were not as luxurious as the presidential suite.
Since it was not a tourist season, the boss arranged for us a room closest to the lake. From the window, we could get a panoramic view of the scenery.
I decided to discuss the matter of the guest room reservation with the boss. It was only then that I found out that the wedding period of Ou Jingyi coincided with the peak season of travel, and many of the rooms had already been booked in advance.
Feeling a little disappointed, I walked over to O'Jia Rui's side and told him the news.
"Haha, it's alright. Since we don't have a mission, then you don't need to do any planning for this place tonight. We can go out for a walk." Ou Jia Rui comforted him sincerely.
As it is a scenic area, the streets where we live are filled with all kinds of local specialties, delicacies or handicrafts.
Having gotten used to shopping malls, O'Jia Rui's interest in the street wasn't strong, but I was extremely happy.
At night, all the shops lit up their red lanterns in front of their doors. From afar, it looked like a red-yellow ocean.
I picked up my cell phone and took a picture, admiring it with great satisfaction.
After their walk, the two of them became a little hungry and returned to the residential quarters with a fresh flower cake that had local characteristics.
There was a DVD in the living room of the residential apartment. The Internet era's old-fashioned way of showing it had aroused O'Jia Rui's feelings.
After studying it, he found a disc of the Titanic.
We sat down on the sofa and ate the special food we brought back, and Ozara personally made two cups of hot milk and watched the movie with me.
I don't know if it was the long walk or the good evening, but we both forgot to go back to our rooms.
In the morning when he woke up, he opened his eyes.
I don't know when I fell asleep on his lap, but he was sitting on the sofa, taking a nap.
The morning sun valley sprinkled onto his brow, and Ou Jia Rui lightly furrowed her brows.
I wanted to get up quietly, but I woke him up.
I scratched my head in embarrassment. "Sorry, we actually slept here all night."
"It's fine, do you want to go somewhere else today? Xuan Zi's plane ticket is set for tomorrow anyway." Ou Jia Rui stretched her back and called for the customer service to bring up breakfast.
I rested all night and was in good spirits, checking the local travel guides on my cell phone.
"Sigh, it is said that there is a very spiritual temple here. The internet says that it is very effective and safe. I will go take a look."
Ou Jia Rui shrugged. "Although I don't have any religious beliefs, but it's said that the temple is hundreds of years old. I'm quite interested in ancient buildings, so going there won't hurt."
After breakfast, because we were too embarrassed to bother with Xuan Zi's arrangements, Ou Jia Rui called a taxi and we set off.
The temple wasn't too far from us, and I carried a red hiking bag wrapped in tissues, wallets, and water.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Ou Jia Rui forcefully took the backpack and put it on her shoulder.
I could not bear to see such a noble and handsome man carrying a red bag on his back.
"It doesn't matter. No one here will know me anyway." Surprisingly, Ou Jia Rui also started to joke.
