As night fell, the thad reached 9 o’clock in the evening. Zhou Chao and Jiang Li returned to their accommodation, feeling exhausted.

Upon entering, Zhou Chao collapsed onto the sofa, muttering under his breath, “Oh, today really tiredout. If I had known it would be this exhausting, I wouldn’t have come!”

The Dream Valley scenic area consisted of four major areas: Dream Culture Village, Hengdian Old Street, Jiangnan Water Village, and Water World. It featured a large amusement park, a water park, grand performances, colorful lights, fireworks, and a variety of street food and dining options. They had spent the entire afternoon moving around, trying various snacks, with the exception of taking a break on the carousel and Ferris wheel. The rest of the twas either spent playing or on the way to the next attraction.

Jiang Li was having a blast, but Zhou Chao was secretly suffering. He spent the entire afternoon worrying about Jiang Li’s safety, afraid that she might bump into something or get injured while having fun. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

“Why are you reluctant to accompanyfor an outing?” Jiang Li suddenly remarked, catching Zhou Chao off guard. He had just settled down on the sofa.

“How could that be? I’m delighted to accompany my wife.”

“Hmph, you know what you really think inside.” Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him and headed upstairs. After a full day of play, her body was feeling uncomfortable, and a relaxing bath was just what she needed.

Watching Jiang Li’s figure disappear around the corner of the staircase, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but sigh, “Being a man is really tough!”

After a while of playing on his phone and smoking a cigarette, Zhou Chao leisurely made his way upstairs. By that time, Jiang Li had already finished her bath and was fast asleep.

“You claim you’re not tired, but here you are, lying in bed, and then you accuse me?” Zhou Chao whispered to himself. He observed that Jiang Li, who lay on the bed, had already woken up and was fixing her gaze on him.

“Wifey, you’re still not asleep?” Zhou Chao awkwardly smiled.

“If I’m asleep, I won’t hear someone talking behind my back.”

“Oh, why do I feel uncomfortable all over? I’ll go take a shower first. You can sleep,” Zhou Chao said as he headed into the bathroom. Jiang Li’s laughter echoed, and even her drowsiness seemed to fade a bit.

When Zhou Chao finished his shower and cout, he noticed that Jiang Li was still awake.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet? Did I disturb you earlier?”

“No, I was waiting for you. I want to cuddle,”

After drying his hair, Zhou Chao lay down on the bed and pulled Jiang Li into his embrace.

“Let’s go to sleep!”

After a night’s rest, the two of them were back in good spirits. Early in the morning, they headed straight to the Qinwang Palace.

The Qinwang Palace was a comprehensive exhibition hall that combined sightseeing, shopping, and leisure. It featured classic scenes from movies and TV dramas such as “Hero,” “The Promise,” and “Emperor Wu of Han.” Additionally, it showcased a collection of replicas of bronze chariots and horses, as well as Terracotta Warriors and Horses.

The commercial stores in the area also exuded the historical atmosphere of the Qin and Han dynasties, offering bronze and jade artifacts made using Qin and Han craftsmanship. There were also pearl jewelry, green wild food, and senthusiastic shop owners who offered samples of their homemade green plum wine to visitors.

In the afternoon, they visited the Mingqing Palace Garden, the largest film and television base in Hengdian, replicating the “Forbidden City” on a 1:1 scale. It gathered imperial palaces, royal gardens, government offices, traditional alleys, and residential houses from various historical periods in Yanjing, vividly recreating the appearance of official residences, market shops, and palaces.

Moreover, many famous TV dramas were filmed here, including Jay Chou’s “Curse of the Golden Flower,” “Empresses in the Palace,” and “The Deer and the Cauldron,” among more than a hundred other film and television blockbusters.

With the increasing popularity of harem dramas, the Mingqing Palace Garden attracted numerous film crews. Hit series like “Scarlet Heart,” “Empresses in the Palace,” and “Legend of Zhen Huan” all used this location for filming. Along the way, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li even spotted several busy celebrity actors and actresses on set.

On the second-floor balcony of the guesthouse, the two of them were lying on recliners, sipping tea they had obtained from the landlady and enjoying the distant night view.

“Brother Chao, let’s sleep in tomorrow. We’ve been walking intensively these past two days, and I’m feeling a bit tired,” Jiang Li said, shifting her body.

“Yeah, I was thinking of taking a break tomorrow even if you didn’t mention it.”

These past couple of days had indeed been filled with high-intensity walking, and without srest, Jiang Li’s body might not be able to withstand it.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

“Hey, why is Big Bro calling you?” Jiang Li glanced at the phone on the coffee table and asked curiously.

Zhou Chao shrugged, indicating that he didn’t know either.

Jiang Li took the phone, and with a mischievous smile, she answered the call. “Hello, Zhou Chao, what are you up to? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?” Xiao Yang’s booming voice echoed through the phone.

Jiang Li quickly moved the phone away, waiting until Xiao Yang had finished speaking before saying, “Big Bro, why are you speaking so loudly? You’re going to deafen us.”

Hearing Jiang Li’s words, Xiao Yang was also surprised. “Oh, it’s you, Xiao Li. You’re with Zhou Chao?”

“It’s normal for us to be together. We’re a couple, and he’s right next to me. So, what’s up, Big Bro? Anything important?”

“It’s not something major. It’s just that the stuff that kid brought back from outside is ready to be exhibited. Originally, I was planning to display them separately, but I thought it would be too troublesome, so I arranged them together. There will be a live broadcast tomorrow on Mou Yin. You can check it out then.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but twitch his lips. Those items were from different tperiods. Was it really a good idea to arrange them together? Moreover, they were all national treasures. However, as he thought about it, he couldn’t help but chuckle. He wondered how people online would react. For a moment, Zhou Chao was also looking forward to it.
