Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai had never eaten at a restaurant on Guangzhou Tower, let alone restaurants on Guangzhou Tower itself; he hadn't even been to restaurants around Guangzhou Tower.

The area around Guangzhou Tower was full of skyscrapers that looked extremely high-end and upscale; in Wang Erhai's subconscious, restaurants opened in such places might be good or bad to eat, but they were definitely extremely expensive.

He was going to take Zhang Xiaoyun there to eat tonight, so he had done some research in advance.

After searching online, he found that there was no air Western restaurant on Guangzhou Tower at all; instead, there was an Air Revolving Buffet on the 106th floor of Guangzhou Tower.

And this restaurant wasn't as expensive as imagined; it only cost 668 yuan per person, not several thousand yuan.

After learning this, Wang Erhai found it both funny and exasperating.

One could only say that Chen Xiaomei had only heard it secondhand before and didn't know the specific situation at all.

Actually, there was indeed an air Western restaurant, but it wasn't on Guangzhou Tower; it was on another tall building across from Guangzhou Tower.

But this was also normal; after all, Chen Xiaomei was just like Wang Erhai, both people at the very bottom of society, who had never personally experienced such places, so they only had a half-understanding of places with slightly higher consumption.

Wang Erhai explained the situation around Guangzhou Tower to Zhang Xiaoyun; Zhang Xiaoyun didn't mind whether it was a buffet or Western food, as long as she could eat on Guangzhou Tower.

In the blink of an eye it was evening; Wang Erhai took Zhang Xiaoyun by subway to Guangzhou Tower.

They didn't drive over or take a taxi, because the roads near Guangzhou Tower were very congested, cars were hard to get in and out of, and parking fees were also extremely expensive; instead, taking the subway was the most convenient mode of transportation.

Arriving at Guangzhou Tower Station, exiting the subway entrance, they came to beneath Guangzhou Tower.

Only to see this place was packed with people, almost shoulder to shoulder.

At that time Guangzhou Tower had just been completed and opened to the public, only two years; many people came here to check in and take photos; this place was livelier than Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street; especially when Guangzhou Tower had light shows or other activities, it was even more packed, a huge crowd, squeezed until there was no place to stand.

Wang Erhai took Zhang Xiaoyun to the ticket office to buy tickets.

Then the two of them queued together to take the elevator up.

Wang Erhai bought a package ticket including all attractions and the buffet.

He thought, since they had come, and had gone up to the 106th floor to eat the buffet, they definitely should go up a few more floors to see other attractions and try other items along the way.

It only cost three or four thousand yuan in total; with his current financial strength, he could still afford this bit of money.

Going up to the 106th floor, arriving at the Air Revolving Buffet, they chose a seat and sat down.

Looking outside, nearby they could see Haizhu Bridge spanning the Pearl River, as well as Liede Village, Tianhe Plaza, Pazhou Convention Center and other landmark buildings; while in the distance was the scenery of the entire Guangzhou City, all within sight.

The night view was very beautiful, and the buffet food was also very good.

Braised Abalone with Goose Web, Garlic Steamed Green Dragon, Bird's Nest Double Skin Milk, and so on... plus various seafood, various Cantonese cuisine, and Western cuisine.

The food was dazzling to look at.

Wang Erhai and Zhang Xiaoyun were both eating at such a place for the first time.

At first the two ate rather reservedly; after getting used to it a bit, they let themselves eat freely, and joked that they had to eat back the 688 yuan.

As a result, they ate until full; roughly calculating, they were far from being able to eat enough worth 688 yuan.

Because the valuable Braised Abalone with Goose Web, Garlic Steamed Green Dragon, and Bird's Nest Double Skin Milk—these three items—were limited portions; you could only choose one of the three, only take one portion; the rest of the other items could be eaten freely.

After eating the buffet, the two went from the 106th floor up to the 107th floor; here was an "Air Attic," with floors made of transparent glass; stepping on the glass and looking down, it felt like being suspended in the air.

That feeling, for someone afraid of heights, would really be very "thrilling."

Coincidentally Zhang Xiaoyun was a bit afraid of heights; she walked on the glass, her legs felt like they were filled with lead and couldn't move; she tightly grabbed Wang Erhai's arm, her hands and feet trembling.

Going from the 107th floor up to the 108th floor, there was a photo platform here.

The two took photos, and at the front desk chose one photo as a keepsake.

Then they continued walking up, arriving at the 110th floor.

This was the top floor of Guangzhou Tower.

On the roof there was an Air Ferris Wheel; this thing claimed to be the world's highest Ferris Wheel and was listed in Guinness World Records.

The two queued up and rode this Ferris Wheel.

Wang Erhai looked at the scenery outside through the Ferris Wheel window—skyscrapers, neon lights—all within sight.

Today he could be considered to have experienced the life of a "rich person"; he felt this life was truly good, and secretly made up his mind that in the future he must earn more money and experience more such lives.

And Zhang Xiaoyun, because she was afraid of heights, didn't dare look outside the whole time; she kept tightly hugging Wang Erhai's arm and buried her head in his embrace.

After getting off the Ferris Wheel, she actually vomited.

She vomited up more than half of the buffet she had just eaten.

What a big loss.

Zhang Xiaoyun said that such a place only needed to be experienced once; she would never come again in the future; going to Chimelong was more worthwhile.

Wang Erhai laughed at her for being both unskilled and greedy for excitement, and told her that the roller coaster at Chimelong Paradise was even more exaggerated than this Guangzhou Tower Ferris Wheel; this Ferris Wheel turned very slowly; Chimelong's roller coaster, he heard, dropped vertically and could scare people to death.

Zhang Xiaoyun said: "Then I'll just go to Chimelong to see animals; I won't ride the roller coaster!"

Wang Erhai said dotingly: "Then next time when I have time I'll take you; I'll listen to you!"

The two came down from Guangzhou Tower and quite naturally went to a nearby hotel to stay one night.

The next morning, they went back to the company together to work.

After last night's experience of eating, drinking, playing, and staying overnight together, the two's relationship became even closer.

That day Zhang Xiaoyun took the initiative to ask Wang Erhai:

"The Spring Festival is coming soon; what are your plans for the Spring Festival?"

Wang Erhai was stunned in his heart.

He knew what Zhang Xiaoyun's words meant.

Zhang Xiaoyun hoped he could take her home to meet her parents, so as to establish their relationship as soon as possible and put the matter of getting married and obtaining the certificate on the agenda.

But Wang Erhai clearly did not want to get married and obtain the certificate too quickly.

It is not that he does not love Zhang Xiaoyun; he dotes on Zhang Xiaoyun that much, so it is definitely true love.

He is just afraid that if things develop too fast, he will follow in his eldest brother's footsteps.

Last year his eldest brother did not make much preparation before hastily bringing Du Xiaojuan home to meet their parents, causing all sorts of conflicts and misunderstandings between the two, and as a result they broke up right after the Spring Festival.

With this cautionary example, Wang Erhai became extraordinarily cautious about bringing his girlfriend home to meet his parents.

His own hometown is in that remote corner of Shangou Village; he had originally planned to build a new house, but it was delayed until next year because his father had thyroid nodule surgery, and the home environment is still dilapidated.

Under these circumstances, if he brings Zhang Xiaoyun back, will she dislike it?

When it comes down to it, Wang Erhai still lacks confidence in himself, but this is normal; after all, his looks are ordinary, his abilities are ordinary, and it is only by starting a company together with his eldest brother that he has this little bit of wealth.

Zhang Xiaoyun, although a female salesperson, has pretty good looks, is quite gentle, and has a good personality.

Under these circumstances, he definitely does not want to add any more negative impressions in Zhang Xiaoyun's mind, not even a tiny bit.

So he said:

"What plans could there be? Go home for a few days, then come back to work."

Zhang Xiaoyun listened, somewhat unhappy, and asked:

"Then what about me?"

Wang Erhai pretended to be confused and said jokingly:

"It's the big Spring Festival; I can't let you stay and work overtime, otherwise people will think I exploit labor, so you go back to your hometown too."

Zhang Xiaoyun could only let out a disappointed "oh" and then said nothing more.
