The guest room was on the second floor. He pushed the door open and entered, only to see a screen made out of ink. There was a beige bed covered with white bedsheets, and beside the window was a blue porcelain bottle filled with stars.

Sunlight shone into the room; it was clean and bright. Yanqi liked this room at first glance, so she told the innkeeper, "We'll stay here, two rooms!"

The Lady Boss looked to be in her thirties, and the peaceful life in and out of the old town made her give off a gentle aura. Upon hearing this, she first smiled, and then shook her head, "Sorry, we only have two guest rooms. The other room has just been occupied by a couple, so this is the only room."

Yanqi frowned in disappointment. "What a coincidence!"

The Lady Boss helplessly shrugged her shoulders. "Yes, I'm sorry." Saying that, he swept his gaze over her and Yo Yo and asked probingly, "You're not lovers?"

Yanqi smiled warmly and said, "No!"

"That's a pity, you can only go somewhere else to take a look."

Yanqi reluctantly turned her head to look at the sky full of stars in the vase. Suddenly, someone tugged at the corner of her clothes. She shook her wrist and whispered, "Mhmm, can we stay here for a while?"

"You like it here too?" Yanqi raised her eyebrows and asked.

"I like it!" He nodded heavily.

Yanqi went silent for a moment before calming herself down and turning to the Lady Boss. "We will be staying here. Thank you!"

However, she didn't ask any questions and nodded with a smile, "Alright, I hope you all can enjoy your stay here. I'll go and get you some hot water now!"

"This is trouble!"

After the Lady Boss had gone out, Yanqi opened her suitcase and put her toiletries and clothes in the cupboard. She stood in front of the window with her lips slightly bent, looking very happy.

Yanqi thanked him profusely as the Lady Boss sent him hot water and a bowl of noodles.

The noodle soup was cooked with soup made from bones and seemed to be made by himself. It was very tasty and Yanqi was not hungry, but she ate it with gusto. "Ouch!" She ate half of the noodle soup and, seeing that she liked it, she gave half of the noodle soup to her. In the end, the two of them actually ate the remaining two bowls of noodle soup.

Yanqi was in no hurry to leave after eating the noodles.

Under the window, the river was crystal clear, and beside the river, there were women washing clothes from an ancient town. They were in groups of three or five, laughing and joking, and their laughter and the shouts of the boatmen on the surface echoed along the river bank.

Yanqi lay on the mahogany windowsill and closed her eyes. The sun shone down on her face, warming her body and making her drowsy.

After sleeping for an unknown period of time, he opened his eyes and sat by his side. He placed both his arms on the windowsill, and rested his head on his arms. His eyes were half closed, and the sunlight danced around his long and dense eyelashes.

Yanqi playfully lifted her hand to stroke his eyelashes. Yanqi was clearly not sleeping, yet she did not move or evade. Under the sunlight, Yanqi's smile was pure.

"Dong, dong, dong, dong!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Yanqi thought it was the Lady Boss of the inn, so she stood up to open the door.

When the door was opened, it was a young man and woman standing outside. Seeing Yanqi, the boy's eyes lit up and he was the first to introduce her, "Hello, we are passengers living opposite each other. My name is Cheng Yang, this is my girlfriend, Xiao Xiao.

"Hello!" Yanqi nodded with a faint smile.

"Being able to live in an inn is fate. We want to go boating, let's go together!" The boy's face was bright as he invited Yanqi and her brother to play with him.

Yanqi turned her head to look at the room before nodding with a smile. "Alright, let's prepare. We'll be there shortly!"

"That's great! We'll wait for you downstairs! " Cheng Yang said happily as he pulled his girlfriend and left.
