Xuxu continued walking forward while Su Yan followed behind, snapping away on his camera as he walked .
Snap . His camera snapped away non-stop .
After taking a number of photos of the streetscape and local culture, Su Yan aimed his camera at Xuxu again and zoomed in on her . He didn't press on the shutter and merely looked at her through the camera lens .
He said, "Let's go on a trip together . I'm serious about this . As I'm not familiar with this place, you can be my tour guide . "
"I'm not familiar either because I've not been back for many years . " Xuxu finished the food in her hands . She hung her bag over her wrist before shoving both hands into the pockets of her down-filled jacket . She then tilted her head up at the sky .
A deep blue sky on a clear day .
It was a sight hardly seen in the capital city . Her eyes brilliantly sparkled like the dazzling stars . She pursed her lips .

She seemed to be enjoying every moment in this place .
Su Yan momentarily paused before clicking away on the shutter . He captured a shot of Xuxu .
Xuxu continued to walk on while Su Yan quietly followed behind .
The two of them walked away from the bustling town and set foot onto a stone bridge . The first thing that greeted their eyes was an emerald green lake surrounded by the mountains .
Xuxu stood still . She gazed at the center of the lake with a look of dismal . She frowned .
Su Yan had no idea why she was ladened with grief .
The front and back of the place were unblocked . The rustling cold wind ruffled her silky short hair . Her face and nose turned red .
Su Yan extended his hand . He wanted to smoothen out her frown and remove the heavy burden in her heart .

But his hand abruptly stopped in mid-air .
He thought to himself, some beautiful things are best just admired—capture the moment and bury it in the heart .
"Let's go to Donghai in the afternoon . " All of a sudden, Xuxu turned her head . As she brushed off her messy hair from her eyes, she looked at Su Yan as if she had made an important decision .
Having a free photographer on the trip didn't seem like a bad deal after all .
Su Yan deliberated for a moment before nodding his head with a smile . "Okay . "
He would definitely jump at the chance to capture captivating landscapes with his camera .
Xuxu didn't utter a word and continued walking forward by herself . When they got down the bridge, Su Yan caught up with her . "Why didn't you ask me about the purpose of my trip here?"
Xuxu asked in a calm and collected manner, "Why?"
Su Yan stood silent .
He said, "Xuxu, your life must be very dull . "
Xuxu laughed . "Yes, you're right . "
She didn't have any focus in her life and had no special interests . Come to think of it, her life was indeed dull .
They passed through a winding path on a mountain and climbed up the mountain .
Su Yan quipped, "Your hometown is beautiful . "
Xuxu proudly nodded her head . "Yes, it's a beautiful place . "
"You are even more beautiful . " Again, Su Yan's camera zoomed in on Xuxu .
Xuxu rolled her eyes at him being annoying . The latter grinned before moving his camera away to another direction .
There was a big cemetery above with thousands of tombs . Each tombstone looked identical .
Su Yan put down his camera . His expression turned solemn and his heart felt heavy, befitting the scene .
Xuxu walked towards her parents' tombstones and kneeled down . She reached out to touch the rough tombstone . Only her parents' names were inscribed on it . There weren't any names of their children .
"Dad and Mom, I'm leaving . I'm not sure when I'll be back again to visit you . "
From the bag on her wrist, she took out some snacks that she had bought earlier and placed them before the tombstone, item by item . "These are the popular snacks from our town . I've tried them and they're delicious . "
"I'll definitely take good care of grandfather . "
