Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue had lunch in a nice and clean small restaurant before continuing with their journey . They went to Prince Gong’s Mansion in the afternoon .
It was the largest mansion in Beijing . People said the mansion contained half of Qing Dynasty’s history . Although the mansion was still smaller than the Forbidden Palace, it had its own characters .
There were not many people in the mansion since it was not weekend or holiday . They walked for a while before bumping into other people, most of whom were elders .
“Do you think the residents here in the past would get lost living in such a big place?” Wang Yao asked .
“Probably,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“I think they should set up some signs with arrows to indicate where the kitchen is and where the toilets are,” Wang Yao said .
“No way . What if someone wanted to assassinate the prince?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“You are right,” Wang Yao said .
“I heard this place is haunted,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Isn’t Forbidden Palace haunted, too?” Wang Yao asked .
“Do you think ghosts really exist in the world?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“I don’t know . At least, I’ve seen a ghost in my life,” Wang Yao said .
Suddenly, they felt a gust of wind, matching exactly what they were talking about .
“Oh!” Su Xiaoxue exclaimed .
“Is the ghost coming?” Wang Yao joked .
“What!” Su Xiaoxue pretended to scream .
“Haha!” Their laughter echoed in the yard .
They took time to walk around the mansion because there were not many people inside . It was 4 p . m . by the time they left Prince Gong’s Mansion .
“Would you like to visit any other places?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“No, we’ve been out for a whole day . Let’s take a break,” Wang Yao said .

“OK,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Please recommend a restaurant to have dinner tonight, but it will be my treat,” Wang Yao said .
“No problem,” Su Xiaoxue said . “I’ll ask Auntie Lian to join us . ”
Wang Yao was curious about Chu Lian, who was a very responsible employee of the Su Family . He wondered why Su Xiaoxue called her auntie since she was just in her 30s .
Chu Lian picked the restaurant, a private kitchen located in an old folk house . It was a bit far from the city center, but it was apparently very popular .
“The chef here is really good, although he is a weird person,” Chu Lian said .
“How weird?” Wang Yao asked .
“He decides what to cook for the customers . So, the customers don’t make orders here, they just eat,” Chu Lian said .
“He is weird,” Wang Yao said .
They waited nearly 20 minutes before the dishes were served . The chef apparently took his time to cook . It took nearly an hour to have all the eight dishes served . The dishes were delicious . The chef used a lot of ingredients .
“Hmm?” Wang Yao was a bit surprised after tasting one of the dishes . The dish contained licorice and peppermint . He tried another dish, which also contained very small amount of herbs .
“Is everything alright?” Su Xiaoxue asked as Wang Yao was trying each dish .
“Yeah, I’m just curious of the taste of each dish . I want to try them all . The chef is truly weird,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“How do you find the dishes?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“He put herbs in those dishes,” Wang Yao said .
“Really?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“This one contains peppermint and licorice . This one contains ginseng and lycium Chinense miller . And, this one contains poria and fritillary…” Wang Yao pointed at the different dishes as he told Su Xiaoxue the herbs each dish contained .
“Is it OK to eat them?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“It should be fine,” Wang Yao said .
The dishes were similar to an herbal diet . However, some herbs in one dish actually had conflicted nature . It could cause mild gas and diarrhea .

“I’m curious where he got those recipes,” Wang Yao said .
“Do you want to speak to him? I don’t want to have a diarrhea later on,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“No, never mind,” Wang Yao said .
The dishes were delicious . The three of them finished dinner at about 7 p . m .
“Would you like to watch a movie?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“OK,” Wang Yao said . He hadn’t been to the cinema for many years .
They picked a drama with a pleasant story . The two of them sat together watching the movie quietly .
Su Xiaoxue was eating popcorn while watching the movie . Her mood was as sweet as the popcorn .
The movie was not impressive . Most of the audience was couples . They just wanted to find a suitable place to be together . Some of the couples were in each other’s arms .
Chu Lian looked at them quietly in the corner . Miss Su is more and more in love with Dr . Wang .
Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue sat very close to each other . They whispered in each other’s ears from time to time . Their heads were very close together . However, they didn’t do anything more intimate .
After they finished watching the movie, Chu Lian drove Wang Yao to the hotel first and went home with Su Xiaoxue .
After being out for the whole day, Su Xiaoxue was tired . She showered and went to bed . She didn’t fall asleep right away . Instead, she was thinking about the sweet moments she spent with Wang Yao and where the two of them would visit the next day .
In the living room downstairs, Chu Lian was quietly telling Song Ruiping what happened during the day .
“Ma’am, I feel like I’m a spy,” Chu Lian said with a smile .
“Xiaoxue is an innocent girl . Keep an eye on her . I’m always worried about her,” Song Ruiping said .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao was standing in front of the window in the hotel . He had a full day . He was happy . He had a feeling that he couldn’t really describe .
Knock! Knock! Knock! Someone was knocking at the door .
“Who is it?” Wang Yao asked .
He went to open the door and found a slim pretty woman wearing heavy makeup standing at the door .

“Sorry, you are?” Wang Yao asked .
“Hello, do you need special service?” the woman asked .
“What?” Wang Yao was surprised . “No, thanks . ”
He immediately closed the door .
“What the hell! Such kind of services do exist in the hotels,” Wang Yao anxiously murmured .
“Humph,” the woman coldly said as she turned to a different room .
The door was opened by an overweight middle-aged man . He took a look at the woman before inviting her into the room .
As Wang Yao was about to sleep, he heard someone screaming . It was really loud .
“Oh, no!”
What’s going on? he wondered .
A moment later, he heard hurried footsteps . He didn’t want to get into trouble, so he stayed in his room .
“What’s going on?” a hotel employee asked .
“I, I don’t what’s going on . He was fine at the beginning . He just suddenly passed out,” a woman He suddenly heard someone screaming . It was really loud . .
Sudden cardiac death when having sex? Or, Yang depletion? Wang Yao thought .
The overweight middle-aged man had been very unfortunate . He planned to have a good time during his business trip in Beijing . Since his bossy wife was not around, he took the chance to call five escort girls for three consecutive days . He was bored again tonight, and the call girl happened to knock at his door . He took several Viagra pills before having sex with the call girl . In the end, he died of cardiac rest .
“Take him to the hospital now,” the employee said .
The ambulance arrived a moment later .
It was true that alcohol was the poison that could pierce through ones stomach, and sex was a sharp blade that could scrape the bones .
The death of the man had nothing to do with Wang Yao . He just went to sleep a bit later than he had planned .
Meanwhile, a plane landed in the airport in Beijing .
“Good evening, Mr . Guo,” said a man who went to pick up Guo Zhenghe .
“He came to Beijing?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“Yes, we saw him and Su Xiaoxue were together,” the man said .
“I see,” Guo Zhenghe said .
He got into a car with an unpleasant looking on his face . His shiny smile was no longer there . Instead, his facial expression was full of anger .
How dare he come to Beijing! How dare he spend time with Xiaoxue!
He didn’t expect that Wang Yao would visit Beijing . As soon as he heard the news, he angrily returned to Beijing .
He always made a plan before taking action . It was his principal . However, he took action before making any plans this time .
He had been thinking about what he could do and should do on the plane . He didn’t go home . He stayed somewhere else . He didn’t want his family to know that he was back .
It was nice and sunny the next day .
“Take enough water with you . The temperature will go over 30 degree today according to the weather forecast,” Song Ruiping said before Su Xiaoxue left home .
“I see, Mom,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Where are you going today?” Song Ruiping asked .
“Xiangshan park,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“OK, off you go . Have a good time,” Song Ruiping said .
“Thanks, Mom, see you later,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Chu Lian drove Su Xiaoxue to pick up Wang Yao . They headed to Xiangshan park .
It was Saturday, so there were a lot of visitors around .
Xiangshan park was very big . There were many places in the park worth seeing . The trees were everywhere on Xiangshan Hill . Although it was sunny and the temperature went up quickly, it was not too hot on the hill .
They visited Zhao Temple, Xianglu Peak, and Jianxin House . All those places were very famous . They had a good look at each one . While they were walking around the hill, Wang Yao paid extra attention to the trees .
He heard that 90 percent of Xiangshan Hill was covered by trees . A lot of the trees were very old .
