Chapter 265 Playing with Mei
Xu Hongdou nodded and followed Gu Yi upstairs.

"This is your room. There are six people in Fengyuan, including you. It is considered full."

After thanking him, Xu Hongdou went into the room and started packing her things. She would be living here for three months, so she brought all the regular daily necessities with her, even some toys and dolls from home.

Gu Yi really liked Xu Hongdou, but he was not a bootlicker. He stayed close to her and left Youfeng Courtyard.

With Xu Hongdou's surprise, Gu Yi didn't plan to run anymore. It just so happened that he hadn't seen all the scenery here yet.
Besides, he had developed some interest in wood carving yesterday. Living too easily in this world is also a trouble. He is bored and doesn't know what to do.

Learn wood carving to kill some boring time.

Enjoy life and feel especially relaxed and comfortable.

I walked around outside for a while and saw more scenery.

As soon as we entered the woodcarving workshop, the man who was carving at his seat said directly: "Hello, feel free to take a look at anything you like."

Gu Yi nodded and became more interested in the wood carvings in the room. This person's craftsmanship was quite good.

Especially the huge root carving placed in the middle of the house, which is lifelike.

"Do you have complete wood carving tools for sale?"

Gu Yi walked up to the man and asked.

The man sitting behind the carving table thought that it was a business opportunity, but he didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to buy tools.

"You are planning to come here to learn from a master. My master is a famous woodcarving master here. He is also a state-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor with superb skills."

Xia Xia naturally planned to recruit an apprentice for her master. Over the years, fewer and fewer people were willing to learn wood carving, and even fewer people were able to learn it. Now that the times are progressing and technology is developing, machines can already replace manual work to a large extent.

The production space for craftsmen is extremely compressed.

"Gu Yi, you are here too, are you planning to learn wood carving?"

A pretty figure walked in from the door. Who else could it be but Xu Hongdou who had tidied up the room? She happened to pass by here and saw Gu Yi and Xia Xia talking as soon as she came in.

Gu Yi nodded, "Well, we're out here to have fun anyway. Wood carving looks interesting, so I plan to practice."

"It's really good."

Xu Hongdou walked around the wood carving workshop, taking out her camera from time to time to take pictures, looking a little relaxed.

Gu Yi knew why.

In the service industry, even if you become a five-star lobby manager like Xu Hongdou did, the job is still very hard and tiring.

As long as a customer sends you a message, you have to reply even if you are off work or on vacation.

There was not a single moment throughout the year when she could completely relax, and she didn't know when information would come in.

Especially since she is the lobby manager of a five-star hotel, and people who come in and out of here are all upper-class people, so it is easy for her to offend people if she is not careful.

After being tense for so many years, I naturally feel relaxed now that I have resigned.

"Sir, wood carving is not as simple as you think. If you really want to learn, I can introduce you to my master. He is really good."

Gu Yi had no intention of becoming his apprentice. "No need. Maybe I'm just interested for a while and won't learn it in a few days. You should sell me a set of tools and wood. I'll watch the video and try it slowly when I get home."

Seeing that Gu Yi had made up his mind, Xia Xia did not continue to persuade him. Just like he said, maybe it was just a flash in the pan.

Wood carving is a test of one's patience. It requires carving one stroke at a time and one cannot be impatient. Sometimes a wrong stroke is enough to ruin the entire piece of wood.

Xia Xia found a new set of wood carving tools for Gu Yi. Fortunately, his master had disciples coming to him from time to time over the years, and he also prepared some new wood carving tools.

It can be sold to Gu Yi.

Carrying tools, Xu Hongdou also finished shopping. "It's almost noon, do you have time? I'll treat you to a meal."

Xu Hongdou doesn't want to owe anyone a favor.

Gu Yi also understood why she did this, and said with a smile, "Let's go, there's a small shop here that has good food, and it has a very special vegetable soup called Water Yanghua Soup."

Watery lily soup?

Xu Hongdou was slightly startled, and her memory was instantly pulled back to a long, long time ago. At that time, her best friend was still in good health and said that she wanted to drink water lily soup.

But she didn't have time, so she didn't get to drink it in the end.

Now I can finally make up for the regret in my best friend's heart.

Come to the restaurant.

Xu Hongdou specially ordered a bowl of water lily soup, and the owner of this restaurant was so warm and hospitable.

"Why are you here? Aren't you working?"

While eating, Xu Hongdou looked at Gu Yi's extremely youthful face. He was probably only one or two years old after graduating from college. Now was the time for him to strive and work, but he came to live in Youfeng Courtyard.

I stayed in the Fengfeng Courtyard for three months.

She chose to come here because of her best friend's death and because she was really tired of going to work. She wanted to experience the life her best friend had always wanted to experience, and also to fulfill what her best friend had told her before she died.

"Work? I started my own business, and now things are getting a little better and on the right track, so I want to have some fun."

Xu Hongdou used to be the lobby manager of a five-star hotel, where all the wealthy people from the upper class came and went. She could also see that the fabric of Gu Yi's clothes was very good and definitely not ordinary, not as simple as he said.

"Anko, why are you here?"

Gu Yi simply omitted the name and asked.

Xu Hongdou didn't care about it, she smiled and said, "I'm not as comfortable as you.

The work is too tiring. For so many years, my mind has been tense and I have never been able to relax. I simply quit my job to relax and just lie down. "

After the two finished their meal, they did not separate, but walked around here together.

Gu Yi had only been here for one day, and there were still many places he had not visited.

The travel companion is also pretty good, especially a beauty like Xu Hongdou. Standing next to her, the scenery of China seems to become more beautiful.

Stop from time to time, take pictures and appreciate the scenery. Even your body and mind are purified in such scenery.

"The scenery matches you, it's even better."

Gu Yi took a few pictures seriously. Now his photography skills have reached the pinnacle and every picture he takes is a blockbuster.

Xu Hongdou listened to Gu Yi's compliments and smiled sweetly, "Why didn't you realize before that you are so good at flattery."

The neither-close-nor-distant relationship and words made Xu Hongdou feel comfortable.

Before going back, Gu Yi went to the wood carving workshop to buy a few pieces of wood. Xu Hongdou, who was standing by, helped Gu Yi carry the tool kit.

"When I get used to it, I'll carve a figurine for you."

Xu Hongdou on the side joked, "Don't make a weird sculpture when the time comes, or I won't recognize you."

We are all young people, so it's natural that we get closer quickly. What's more, we are a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, so naturally there won't be any big barriers between us.

After a day, I didn't feel uncomfortable, but rather comfortable.
