Huacheng Tour

At the crack of dawn, Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang arrived at the Heaven's Shade Hotel in a minivan, where they met up with the rest of the tour group. 

Over the past two days, Lou Cheng had taken time off from training to show his parents around Xiapei Lake. He also brought them to a few shopping malls to buy weather-appropriate clothing.

At first, the old couple opposed the idea, insisting it was a waste of money. However, the clothes they brought were a little too warm, thanks to Lou Cheng's deliberate silence on the Huacheng climate. In the end, they reluctantly accepted the proposal. Qi Fang became absorbed in the buying momentum and began trying out clothes on her own. Delighted, Lou Cheng watched them from the side, occasionally consulting Yan Zheke on which ones looked nice and which looked weird. 

As the saying goes, "Fine feathers make fine birds." Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang, resplendent in their new clothes, walked with a gait brisker than usual.
