Along the way, Xu Luoning found everything they passed fascinating.
Having time-traveled from the Dayin Dynasty a year ago, she still found these modern affairs utterly novel.
Her eyes kept sweeping across the scenery outside the window, as if she wanted to imprint every single detail onto her heart.
Her mind was filled with curiosity and longing for this unknown world, a sensation that left her both excited and nervous.
She especially remembered taking a plane once—though the original body had flown before, it was her very first time. Her heartbeat had accelerated, her palms had grown slightly sweaty, but her eyes had flashed with resolve and anticipation.
She knew that every flight was a new adventure, an exploration of the unknown.
"Want to go out and relax for a few days?"
Gazing at Xu Luoning, who was so full of wonder for the outside world, Shen Yanzhi gently suggested it.
His voice carried an irresistible allure, as if inviting her to embark together on a journey to explore the unknown.
"Is that alright? Didn't Sister Xi say I need to go back and take part in a variety show?"
A hint of hesitation colored Xu Luoning's voice. In her heart, she both yearned for the freedom of travel and carried a strong sense of responsibility toward her work.
"Xiao Mi, call Yang Xi and let her know I'm taking you all out for a couple of days. It won't affect the variety show in three days."
Shen Yanzhi's tone was firm and confident, as though everything were entirely within his control.
His proposal sent a warm current surging through Xu Luoning's heart. She knew full well how thoroughly Shen Yanzhi always considered her needs, allowing her to experience the joys of life even amidst a busy work schedule.
Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Xu Luoning's eyes. She had not expected Shen Yanzhi to be so thoughtful as to arrange a trip for her.
The recent workload had indeed left her exhausted; the dual pressures of the college entrance examination and filming had made it almost hard to breathe.
This trip was undoubtedly a rare opportunity to relax.
She could temporarily cast aside all her worries and immerse herself in the beauty of nature. Smiling, she nodded, gratitude glittering in her eyes:
"Alright then, I'll have to trouble President Shen. Thank you so much for considering things so thoroughly for me."
Watching Xu Luoning's smile, ripples stirred in Shen Yanzhi's heart.
This trip was not only meant for relaxation, but also to deepen their understanding of each other and their friendship.
Amidst their busy schedules, he hoped to bring her happiness and solace.
He smiled in response, his tone full of care:
"You're welcome. You're my artist, so naturally I should take good care of you. Besides, I also hope to have the chance to relax with you; after all, everyone's been working hard lately."
Outside the car window, the scenery was picturesque, with lush trees and rolling mountains looking exceptionally charming under the sunlight.
Xu Luoning's mood lifted accordingly. Feeling Shen Yanzhi's care and consideration, she leaned against the car window and quietly admired the view outside, her heart filled with peace and joy.
After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at a scenic resort.
Surrounded by green hills and clear waters with fresh air, it felt like a secluded paradise far from the hustle and bustle of the world.
The resort's architecture possessed a rustic yet elegant style, harmonizing seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment and giving off a serene, comforting vibe.
Gazing at the lovely scenery before her, Xu Luoning couldn't help taking a deep breath.
She felt the charm and power of nature, as well as a profound sense of inner peace and joy.
Turning to Shen Yanzhi, she said, "This place is truly so beautiful. It feels like all my worries have vanished."
