Exploring paths together

Summer and Oliver and Li Mao holidays arrived decided to embark on an adventure together, touring some cities in China to explore their beauty and diversity. They packed their bags with enthusiasm and ventured into a trip full of unforgettable discoveries and experiences.

They began their trip in the bustling streets of Beijing, where they marveled with the greatness of the forbidden city and delighted with the exquisite local cuisine. Then, they headed west, exploring the old walls of Xi'an and marveling at the terracotta warriors.

Upon arriving at the hotel in Beijing, the surprise of finding only a marriage because an important dialogue between Oliver and Li Mao. While Li Mao expressed her fear of moving too fast in the relationship, Oliver reassured her, demonstrating herunderstanding and respect for her feelings.

"Mao, I understand completely." I want our relationship to flow naturally - Oliver said. Do not worry, I can sleep on the couch,so you feel more comfortable.

This situation revealed Oliver's sensitivity towards Lio's feelings, strengthening his link through open communication and empathy.

During their stay in Beijing, some foreign tourists approached Oliver to ask for addresses to the great wall. The way they were dressed and how they requested the information seemed a bit provocative to Li Mao, who began to feel insecure and jealous. However, Oliver quickly dissipated his concerns, reaffirming his loyalty and love for her. 

"Li Mao, you're the only one in my heart." These tourists mean nothing for me compared to you," Oliver assured him, hugging her with tenderness.

When heading towards Xi'an, Oliver and Li Mao almost lose the train due to a misunderstanding with the station. Running the halls, they experienced a moment of tension that culminated in relief when they managed to address in time.

"Wow adventure we are having!" Oliver exclaimed, laughing as they sat in their seats. But together, we will always find our way.

The trip continued south, taking them to the Guilin region, famous for their landscapes that seem taken from a dream. As his adventure was deployed, the beauty of Karst's mountains and the calm waters of the Li River wrapped them, creatingunforgettable moments of connection.

They explored the water villages in Suzhou and Zhou Zhuang, where time seemed to have stopped, allowing them to immerse themselves deeply in China's history and culture. However, the adventure took an unexpected turn when Oliver, determined to experience the authenticity of each city through its kitchen, found himself fighting stomach disease.

After one day exploring Xi'an's culinary wonders, Oliver began to feel bad.

"Mao, I think something I ate did not like," said Oliver, pale and with obvious discomfort.

Li Mao, worried but maintaining his good humor, tried to encourage him. "Remember, what does not kill you makes you stronger." Or, in this case, faster to run to the bathroom," hejoked, taking a smile from Oliver.

The following days were a challenge for Oliver, who spent more time than desired in the bathroom. Li Mao, on the other hand, became his nurse, taking care of it with Chinese herbal tea and remedies. Between visits to the bathroom, Oliver could not helplaughing at the situation.

"I never thought that my adventure in China would include a marathon to the bathroom," he said, trying to keep my mind.

Li Mao approached, smiling. "Well, they say that traveling expands your horizons. "This is just part of the adventure package. In addition, now you have a story to tell.

Two days later, Oliver finally felt better, ready to continue his trip. "Li Mao, thanks for taking care of me." Without you, this would have been much more difficult," he said sincerely.

Li Mao looked at him with affection. "You don't have to thank me." We are in this together, in health and in disease. But, please, let us be a little more selective with the food from now on. 

Laughing, they both packed their things, ready to resume their adventure. This little setback had taught them the importance of mutual care and reinforced their union, making them stronger together.

In each destination, Oliver and Li Mao approached more, sharing laughs, deep conversations and moments of pure happiness. With each shared experience, his love was strengthened, and soon they both felt that they had found their life partner in the other.

Upon reaching the vibrant city of Shanghai, where modernity merged with tradition, Oliver decided that it was the right time to formalize its relationship. During a romantic dinner with a view to the city's enlightened horizon, Oliver told Mao his deepest feelings and his desire to officially be together as a couple.

Li Mao, with bright eyes of emotion, corresponded to love and joy with a huge:

"Yes, I want to be with you!"

However, he explained to Oliver that, according to his family's tradition, it was important to receive the approval of his parents before formalizing his relationship. With determination and respect for Lio's culture and traditions, Oliver accepted the petition.

Together, they decided to return to the city of Shenzhen, more specifically to a town called Lihou who, according to Li Mao, was humble. Upon arrival, Oliver confirmed that, compared to his hometown, Lihou was a commercial metropolis full of local fashion and international brands. Li Mao commented that, although the city seemed great, it was still a town compared to Shanghai or Beijing.

The return trip was full of emotions and expectations. They took a fast train that lasted about 7 hours. Oliver was anxious to meet Li Mao's family and demonstrate their love and commitment. Li Mao, although nervous, kept the

Hope that his parents would accept Oliver.

With the heart full of love and shared dreams, Oliver and Li Mao prepared for this new chapter, ready to face what the future would hold them.
