57: Drunk and reclining on a beauty’s lapHanging up the video call, Jiang Yuan put away his phone and turned his gaze back to the river view before him.

As dusk fell, the landscape lights on South Bridge had gradually lit up without him noticing.

However, the sky hadn’t completely darkened yet, and a hint of twilight still lingered on the horizon.

So the legendary ”Blue Tears” hadn’t reached their peak viewing period, but South Bridge itself was already outlined in brilliant golden lights, like a water palace spanning across the rushing currents.

Jiang Yuan subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the corner from earlier.

The small, curled-up figure was gone.

Everything from that stall had also disappeared.

It seemed they had packed up and gone home.

Those two thousand yuan today should be enough for the grandmother and grandchild to buy many delicious things, and even get some better medicine for the grandmother.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan’s lips curved into a genuine smile.

This sense of accomplishment from changing someone else’s destiny was even more comforting than admiring the scenery earlier.

When one’s mood improves, one tends to get hungry more easily.

The few fried skewers earlier were, at most, an appetizer for him after a day of climbing mountains.

”Since I’m already here, I might as well wander around some more.”

Jiang Yuan got up and strolled into the bustling snack street nearby.

At this moment, Dujiangyan Ancient City truly welcomed its highlight.

Tourists who were previously just observing now poured out, and the crowds waiting specifically to see the night view of South Bridge jammed the streets.

The air was filled with the fragrant aroma of chili oil.

Jiang Yuan wasn’t picky; he bought whatever looked appealing.

Ice Jelly for five yuan a bowl, Grilled Brain Flowers for ten yuan a serving, and the fragrant Scallion Rolls.

He walked and ate like this, without any pretense of being a billionaire, completely blending into the bustling atmosphere, at most, passersby would glance at him more because of his good looks. (Presumably, dear readers, you too enjoy being gazed at while walking down the street!)

As the last trace of twilight was swallowed by the night, the lights of South Bridge finally revealed their true splendor.

Above were exquisite painted murals, so resplendent they were captivating.

Below was the ceaselessly flowing Min River, which, under the refraction of the lights, finally revealed that dreamlike Tiffany blue.

The sound of the water was roaring, like thunder in the ears.

Jiang Yuan stood at the bridgehead, quietly appreciating this flowing painting for a while.

He had seen the bridge, seen the lights, and witnessed the Blue Tears.

He had even done a good deed with a clear conscience.

”That’s about enough.”

Jiang Yuan clapped his hands to remove food residue, his curiosity now satisfied.

Since his interest was sated, it was time to return.

After getting in the car, Jiang Yuan looked at the night outside the window, but his mind was replaying the entire day’s itinerary.

From the tranquility of Mount Qingcheng Road, to the panoramic view of the Chengdu Plain from the summit of Laojun Pavilion, and then to the lively atmosphere of South Bridge... this day had been more fulfilling than any other.

Unbeknownst to him, drowsiness crept in, and he lightly fell asleep in the car.

It was already eleven o’clock when they returned to the guesthouse. The reason for the delay was simply the terrible traffic at night; Jiang Yuan was almost nauseous from the car’s constant stopping and starting.

Even though Old Chen drove very steadily, he couldn’t overcome the stop-and-go traffic, and Jiang Yuan had eaten quite a bit that evening.

This hidden luxury guesthouse near Taikoo Li appeared even more serene in the night.

With blue bricks and gray tiles, and deep courtyards, the two retro palace lanterns at the entrance emitted a warm yellow glow.

The butler was already waiting at the door and immediately greeted Mr. Jiang as he got out of the car:

”Mr. Jiang, you must be tired. The private hot spring is ready for you, and late-night snacks are also prepared. Would you like to take a bath first, or have some drinks and a massage?”

”I’ll take a bath first.”

Jiang Yuan stretched, his whole body aching for relaxation.
