When they arrived at the lantern shop, Xu Jia Li saw a unique floating lantern for couple. She took it for a while and observed the intricate pattern before she decided to place it back.

Then, they passed along the Kite Workshop and cloisonné crafts shop which really got Xu Jia Li's interest. It was indeed true that Gubei Water Town was exceptional. And because there weren't many people, Xu Jia Li and Si Weimin enjoyed walking around as they admired the place.

They even passed some fancy restaurants along the way. When they reached a souvenir shop, a young girl at the age of 10 suddenly approached Xu Jia Li.

"Miss! Miss!"\t

Xu Jia Li felt Si Weimin became alert as he held her hand tightly. She stifled a laugh as she pressed his hand lightly. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry for Si Weimin's over protectiveness, 'Gosh! It was only a little girl.'

She looked at the young girl and gently asked, "Hello! What can I do for you?"

"Are you my favorite singer?"

The soft sweet voice made Xu Jia Li's heart melt, "Hmm, may I know the name of your favorite singer?"

"Xu Jia Li."

"Then, what's your name?"

Instead of answering, the young girl kept gazing at Xu Jia Li then back at Si Weimin.

"Are you Xu Jia Li?" the doe-like eyes of the young girl focused on Xu Jia Li.

Xu Jia Li smiled as she whispered on the little girl's ear, "Hmmm, can you keep a secret?"

"Yes, yes! I knew it! You're my goddess!"

The young girl hugged Xu Jia Li as she kept praising her, "You're so prettyyyyy! I love your hair! It's long and soft! Wow! Your eyes look different! They're the color of autumn! You smell like cotton candy!"

Xu Jia Li couldn't help but smile as she listened to the little girl's praises.

"Goddess Xu, is he your boyfriend?"

She was caught off guard at the sudden question. She looked at Si Weimin behind her before she smiled warmly at the young girl, "It's also a secret, okay?"

The young girl's eyes widened as she nodded. She raised her little finger at Xu Jia Li, "Yes, goddess Xu. I'll keep your secret. Pinky promise."

Xu Jia Li laughed as she linked her finger to the young girl's. Then, the young girl heard her parents call her. She hurriedly ran but stopped when she was a few meters away, "Goddess Xu, my name is Qing Feifei. Babye!"

"I'm starting to feel scared having a famous girlfriend." Si Weimin clucked his tongue as he touched his chin.

"Pft! I didn't know that you still feel scared. It's really hard to believe."

"Ahhh... really?"

Xu Jia Li shrieked when Si Weimin suddenly tickled her, "Stop it! Hahaha!"

"Now, you're telling me to stop. Well, feel my wrath! Ha ha ha!"

Xu Jia Li felt like losing her breath as Si Weimin continuously tickled her. Then, he held her up, before he spinned her around.

Simatai Great Wall

"Boss, it's time for us to ride the cable car," Wang Guo reminded Si Weimin as they boarded the golf cart.

The time indeed flew fast as they roamed the beauty of Gubei Water Town. It was already 4 in the afternoon. He wanted to surprise Xu Jia Li to watch the sunset at Simatai Wall.

"Let's get going," Si Weimin motioned Wang Guo to follow them.

Once they reached the cable car that would get them to the top, Si Weimin handed bottled water to Xu Jia Li, "Aren't you thirsty?"

"I kinda am," Xu Jia Li took the already opened bottled water and drank, "Thank you!"

"Are you tired now?"

"Of course not! How can I be tired seeing all these beautiful sceneries in front of me?"

"I know…" Si Weimin gazed lovingly at his beloved woman. How could he ever be tired gazing at her beguiling form? She was the most enthralling sight he would always want. His heart warmed up when he saw how happy Xu Jia Li was. He smiled before he kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Boss, we can ride the cable cars now."

"Hmm," Si Weimin nodded at Wang Guo as he led Xu Jia Li inside the cable car.

Wang Guo and the other staff rode the next cable car behind.

Once they were inside, Si Weimin took Xu Jia Li's instax camera and took pictures of her. He hid one of the photos inside his pocket. It was a candid shot of Xu Jia Li as she brushed her hair using her hand. She was engrossed at the beautiful sceneries below.

Si Weimin held his breath. His heart thumped fast as he stared at Xu Jia Li's delicate form. Placing the instax camera on his lap, he took countless pictures of Xu Jia Li using his DSLR camera. He would never get tired capturing the beauty that she was.

"See that? That's the Mandarin Duck Lake, isn't it?"

The excitement on Xu Jia Li's voice couldn't be masked as she pointed the lake in the distant. It was so infectious that Si Weimin found himself absorbing her energy. He chuckled as he confirmed, "Yes, we've seen that earlier during the ferry ride."

"Wow! It's even more exhilarating up here."

"Wait till we reached Simatai Wall."

"It's so beautiful here!"

Si Weimin held Xu Jia Li's hand as he caressed her face using his free hand, "Nothing beats your beauty."

"Pft! Mr. Arrogant Si, you're making my head grow bigger."

"Don't worry. I'll always be here to pop it," Si Weimin laughed hard when he saw Xu Jia Li's reaction.

When they reached the drop off point, one of the staff had already waited for them.

"Good afternoon, CEO and young madam!"

"Hmmm," Si Weimin nodded to the staff before he turned his head at Xu Jia Li. Seeing her looking with interest at the stall next to the drop off point, he asked, "Would you like to buy those red ribbons?"

"What are they for?"

"It's for good luck, young madam. It's a tradition here whenever you climb Simatai," the staff enthusiastically answered.

"Where should I tie them?"

"You tie them on the railings as you climb the Simatai Wall," Si Weimin replied while signaling the staff to be quiet.

"Let's buy, honey."

Si Weimin led Xu Jia Li on the stall and bought 6 red ribbons as per Xu Jia Li's request.

"Why do we need so much?" Si Weimin couldn't help but ask.

"It's for us, Assistant Wang, and the three staff."

Si Weimin chuckled as he patted Xu Jia Li's head. After Wang Guo and the staff arrived, Xu Jia Li handed them the red ribbons.

Since they had to hike a little more to reach the wall, Si Weimin made sure to hold Xu Jia Li tightly.

When they reached the railings, Si Weimin saw the excited Xu Jia Li tied her red ribbon. He grinned as he did the same.
