Every snapshot Qin Yun snapped looked as if painted with ink by a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, the two first visited Guilin’s iconic landmark, Elephant Trunk Hill, and took the classic photo of the “elephant drinking water.” Due to the rainy season, the river below reflected the scenery beautifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the crowds, everything was perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, they ate braised dishes, osmanthus cake, and rice noodles in Dongxi Alley, strolled through the Ming and Qing ancient streets, then visited the Ming Dynasty Prince’s Palace and climbed Duxiu Peak for a panoramic view of the city, posing for a photo with the original stone inscription “Guilin’s mountains and waters surpass all under heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, they took a night cruise along the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, admiring the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas and the illuminated mountain-and-water scenery—the feeling of “water reflecting mountains, mountains encircling the city” was utterly complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s mainly because you’re beautiful—anyone photographing you can’t make you look ugly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Su Huan gaze at the photos on the camera, Qin Yun said this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan smiled sweetly, her face blooming like a flower—undeniably a beauty from every angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got a way with words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two leaned against the railing, gazing at the river, clinging to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wish we could always be like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun tightened his arm around her, inhaling her hair’s fragrance, and ruined the moment: “You’d get bored of this forever. Nobody stays idle forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan sighed: “You don’t have to speak—no one thinks you’re mute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter came from beside them. Qin Yun turned to see two girls, dressed lightly, covering their mouths and giggling—they’d clearly overheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, we didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two look over, the girls brightened, still laughing, and quickly apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan smiled: “It’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re so beautiful,” one girl said, staring at Su Huan’s face with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re beautiful too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Qi Muyao, and she’s my boyfriend, Meng Tian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan froze. Qin Yun glanced at the girl beside Qi Muyao—his eyes full of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boyfriend? Girl? Are you kidding? I knew the world was upside down, but I didn’t think two such gorgeous girls would be this twisted—it’s such a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their expressions, Qi Muyao said plainly: “You guessed right—we’re lesbians.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry,” Su Huan apologized. “This is my first real-life encounter—I’ve only seen it online before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl named Meng Tian said: “Since you’re not in this circle, you wouldn’t see many. Actually, there are quite a few of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was somewhat androgynous, but her appearance and figure were undeniably feminine—and beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting is fate. Since they were chatting, the four began talking casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Muyao and Meng Tian found Qin Yun odd—he wore a hat and glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Qi Muyao curiously asked: “Brother Qin, why are you still wearing a hat at this hour? Are you going bald? I heard men are going bald younger these days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan covered her mouth and burst out laughing. Qin Yun’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought: I knew you could talk, but I didn’t know you could talk like a venomous dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still laughing?” Qin Yun pinched her chin as she laughed uncontrollably. “Your man’s going bald.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine—I don’t care. I love you whether you’re bald or not,” Su Huan tilted her head, gazing at him adoringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yi~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Muyao and Meng Tian shuddered, covered in goosebumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the joke, Qin Yun stopped hiding—he took off his hat and sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qin Yun’s face, their eyes lit up—such a handsome man, and strangely familiar... Wait...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Muyao’s mouth dropped open. She pointed at Qin Yun, eyes wide with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You... you... you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Tian blurted out: “Master Qin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people nearby, enjoying the view, turned at Meng Tian’s shout—but the night was too dark to make out details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Muyao quickly covered her mouth, staring at Qin Yun in stunned delight: “Master Qin, what are you doing in Guilin? I get it now—Sister Su looked familiar too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Tian whispered: “Master Qin, are you here to livestream?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun smiled and shook his head: “No, we’re just visiting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, Master Qin, can we take a photo with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could Qin Yun do? He naturally agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dragged him around, taking photos in every possible pose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They still wouldn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Qin, Sister Su, if you’re going to the Li River tomorrow, join us—I remember the bamboo raft for four is the most comfortable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan nodded: “Sure. Let’s exchange contacts—we’ll meet at Yangdi tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two eagerly added Su Huan’s contact. Qin Yun’s? Obviously not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the cruise returned to the dock, the four said their goodbyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan pulled Qin Yun’s hand, smirking: “Didn’t add the cute girl’s contact? Feeling disappointed? Should I be kind and give you theirs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!” Qin Yun tossed his head, dismissive. “Little girl, I’m not interested. I’ve always been loyal—I’m only interested in one person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the hotel, after their passionate encounter, Su Huan noticed a reply in her Douyin DMs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honey, Lan Duo replied.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? What did she say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan opened the message. Her expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan looked up at him: “That little girl named Lan Duo passed away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun’s heart jolted: “Passed away? So soon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw her photo in Zhoushan, he’d guessed she had a terminal illness—her shaved head and frail appearance gave it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only a month? It truly felt like the cruelty of disease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, passed away,” Su Huan said. “She was discharged a month ago and returned to Jiaping Village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun’s shock hadn’t even settled—his face twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—you mean discharged and went home? Not... dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan rolled her eyes: “Lan Duo used this nurse’s phone to send the message. Right after, she was discharged and went home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t she say anything else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun thought: “Then tomorrow after the Li River, skip Yangshuo—let’s go straight to Hechi and find this nurse to learn more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. You decide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting down the phone, her slender hand brushed over the man beside her—she felt his vitality, her heart surging, her spirit stirred, her soul blooming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, pressing close, they made love again, another hymn echoing on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, they met Qi Muyao and Meng Tian at Yangdi Dock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, sunlight shimmered on the water. Mountains encircled the river like a mirror. Phoenix-tail bamboos swayed along the shore—a breathtaking scene unfolded before them, opening their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after the bamboo raft drifted from Yangdi, a crimson cliff loomed beside the river. Its rock patterns rose and fell, naturally forming the shape of a giant red carp leaping into the air. The scales were clear, the head raised against the cliff—utterly natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Click!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the camera’s shutter, the first check-in point on the system panel lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three on the raft, captivated by the view, frantically took photos with their phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, distant mountain ranges layered in orderly rows—Guilin’s peaks were truly unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a main peak stood majestic and serene, wreathed in mist like a seated Guanyin. Before it, a small stone peak stood bowed, its posture obedient—like a child kneeling in reverence, lifelike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, it’s so lifelike,” Su Huan marveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, nature’s masterpiece,” Qi Muyao sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun took a photo, lighting up the second check-in point, and smiled: “Maybe Guanyin Bodhisattva once sat there, with a child paying homage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You believe in that?” Meng Tian asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m from Zhoushan. What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, fine rain drifted down, dispersing the summer heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river breeze carried cool mist across their faces, washing away the stifling warmth. Raindrops struck the emerald river, creating ripples. The karst peaks on both banks were half-hidden in mist, green hills veiled in dusk—a tranquil, painterly calm washed over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun held Su Huan at the front of the raft, watching the scene like an ink painting. He felt comforted, healed, serene—a quiet romance slowly flowing in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check-in task completed, received random reward: Songwriting +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Songwriting Level 1: Young man, write a song.】\u003C\u002Fp>",1391,"2026-06-20T21:37:30.093Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3edc60376111d6f947ba425ba7f89ba3b6a4e7882774a3f04815a8033d2e2f87","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-241","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-239",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
