"After lunch, Xie Li decided to take Jiang Yuying out. They didn't plan to go straight home but intended to spend a couple of days in the capital. Xie Li had never been to the capital before, so this was a good opportunity to explore.

Jiang Yuying was a bit reluctant to leave her daughter. After all, it was Xie Siyun's first time living away from home, and Jiang Yuying couldn't help but worry about her.

Xie Siyun seemed a bit reluctant to leave her mother, but then Zhou Ning arrived at the school. Although their majors and dormitories were different, they were in the same building. When Xie Siyun saw Zhou Ning coming with her mother, she forgot about her mother's worries and ran over to help Zhou Ning with her luggage.

She skipped happily, like a little bird, chatting with Zhou Ning as they walked. When she reached Xie Li and Jiang Yuying, she suddenly remembered her parents were still there.

"Dad, Mom, you go ahead. I'll catch up with Ning Ning later and show her around the school. I won't bother you!"

After saying this, the heartless daughter walked away. Zhou Ning even called out politely, "Hello, Uncle, Auntie." Zhou Ning's mother also smiled kindly, but they were both sweating in the hot weather and carrying a lot of luggage.

Now wasn't the time for small talk, so Xie Li and Jiang Yuying nodded to them and turned away.

As they watched the three of them gradually disappear from view, Jiang Yuying glanced at Xie Li and smiled. Finally, the little bit of sadness was completely dispelled by her daughter's cheerful demeanor.

"Let's go."

Xie Li extended his hand to Jiang Yuying, and she took it, linking her arm with his. Despite the hot weather, they didn't mind being close.

"Where should we go this afternoon?"

"Let's stroll around the famous scenic spots and then have Peking duck for dinner. I've arranged it with Gao. We're not in a hurry, so let's take our time."

Jiang Yuying narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, let's take it slow."

They really took their time, leisurely strolling along the ancient buildings without using money to gain privileges. They didn't go to places ordinary tourists couldn't enter, dressed like ordinary backpackers. In the hot summer, wearing sunglasses and sun hats, no one could recognize them.

Xie Li even took Jiang Yuying to climb the Great Wall. Although Jiang Yuying often did yoga and exercised, she was drenched in sweat halfway up, complaining to Xie Li.

"Why did you insist on climbing the Great Wall in the middle of summer? It's unbearable!"

Xie Li was in better shape than Jiang Yuying, as he exercised regularly and had a natural advantage over women in physical fitness. Despite this, he was still exhausted.

Especially in the summer, the sun beating down on the bricks of the Great Wall made the whole path scorching hot. Xie Li felt like he was in a big oven, baking in the sun. This feeling was different from when he was vacationing in Greece. In Greece, they were by the sea, and although the weather was hot due to the season, the sea breeze and coastal humidity made it slightly better.

But on the Great Wall, there was no wind, and it was hot and dry. Xie Li felt like he deserved to be scolded for dragging Jiang Yuying to climb the Great Wall.

They rested in the shade for a while, drank plenty of water, and then continued walking. After walking for a while, Xie Li saw that Jiang Yuying couldn't walk any further, so he reached out and tugged at her clothes. She turned around and glared at him, saying, "What's the matter?"

This wasn't her usual shy and timid coquetry, nor did it have the seductive meaning of her usual demeanor. It wasn't even the usual graceful manner of a young lady. Jiang Yuying looked particularly disheveled, and Xie Li had never seen her so unkempt before.

Even when she was exhausted in bed, Jiang Yuying always looked tempting, but now, she looked especially disheveled. Her sweaty hair stuck to her cheeks, her jacket was tied around her waist, her face was red, and her sunglasses were pushed up on her hat. Although she still looked beautiful, her exhaustion was evident on her face."
