For Meng Fanqi and Han Ci, the places they stayed in Yan Jing were quite remote, and it was not easy to go into the city.
Outside the Fifth Ring Road, Yan Jing Electric Power University, to put it bluntly, was no longer considered Yan Jing. It was closer to Hebei than the city center.
And Yan Jing and Jinghua, the two top universities in China, were often mistaken to be in the center of Yan Jing by unfamiliar people, but they were actually outside the Fourth Ring Road.
In the northwest corner of Yan Jing, between the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads, the two universities occupied a considerable area.
They were adjacent to each other, almost spanning from the Fourth Ring Road to the Fifth Ring Road, crossing two campuses, requiring a journey of over five kilometers.
Next to them were Yuanmingyuan, Haidian Park, and the Summer Palace, with mountains, water, and courtyards.
A little further to the west, there were also two mountain parks, Baiwang Mountain and Fragrant Mountain. Climbing the mountain was good, and the red leaves of Fragrant Mountain in this season were also extraordinary.
Within the Fifth Ring Road of Yan Jing, the only two green spaces were near these two universities and the Olympic Forest Park.
It can be seen how good the treatment was for students from top universities. Meng Fanqi's Yan Jing Electric Power University was dusty and difficult to breathe. Even the breeze carried particles.
How could one imagine that just outside the school gate was the beauty of Yuanmingyuan and the Summer Palace?
However, although the two universities were good, they were still a bit far from the city center.
Han Ci rarely went out on weekdays, and in the past few years, she had only been to the city a few times. Although theoretically she was closer to the city center than Meng Fanqi and had stayed in Yan Jing for a longer time, she couldn't play the role of a tour guide in this trip.
Although Meng Fanqi had just signed a contract that was expected to earn millions of dollars in quarterly dividends, he had money but no driver's license or car.
Not having a car was really troublesome. It was fine in a big city like Yan Jing, but in a capitalist small town, it was difficult to get around without a car.
Meng Fanqi shook his head and listed this as the most important thing to prepare for after going to the United States.
At the moment, if they wanted to go into the city, the two of them had to reluctantly take the subway. After transferring twice, they finally arrived at Han Ci's destination, Nanluoguxiang.
Nanluoguxiang, Drum Tower, and Qianhai were basically connected. In this area, Meng Fanqi had been here once or twice in his previous life, but it was a long time ago and he didn't have a deep impression.
"This place looks like a tourist trap." Meng Fanqi walked and looked around, feeling that the small shops and attractions on both sides had a strong sense of capitalism. "If we really want to eat snacks, wouldn't it be better to go to the west Second Ring Road, Huguosi, or Niujie?"
"Is Nanluoguxiang known as the street that scams tourists?" Han Ci smiled and looked for delicious food. She didn't seem to be unaware of the insider information. "My local classmates in Yan Jing all say that spending a penny here is a disrespect to one's intelligence."
"I know you still brought me here." Meng Fanqi didn't really care about this, he just found it funny. "Are you deliberately disrespecting me?"
"I think your intelligence is a bit too high, so I need to find a way to balance it out." Han Ci said as she bought two large skewers of potatoes that cost more than ten yuan each. "Eating a large bunch of potatoes for seventeen or eighteen yuan will reduce your intelligence by at least three points."
"You're playing computer games here, which also reduces intelligence." Meng Fanqi always felt that Han Ci was not as cold as before, and she was doing things that were not quite normal, becoming more and more like Mai Mang. "And then two sealed roast ducks, intelligence directly drops to the basin."
"Haha~ I want to eat Wenyu cheese." Han Ci didn't respond to Meng Fanqi's words at all, leading him to continue wasting money.
"After eating Wenyu cheese, let's go to San Yuan Mei Yuan on Gulou West Street to compare, okay? You really have your ways." Meng Fanqi looked at the lively Han Ci in front of him and felt that something was off.

How did this girl suddenly change her style? She's too childish now, right?
Han Ci had many expressions today, completely changing her usual cold demeanor. At this moment, when she heard Meng Fanqi guess her plan, she turned her head and made an exaggerated grimace.
This caught Meng Fanqi off guard. He had never imagined that Han Ci would make a grimace.
Freezing the moment in time, Meng Fanqi felt like an incredibly lucky person. He had returned to ten years ago, standing in the alley of Yan Jing where tourists were scammed, listening to a beautiful genius girl speaking illogical and childish logic and words.
At this time, Han Ci was eighteen years old and hadn't experienced what happened later. Although what she was doing now was foolish, it couldn't hide her intelligence and beauty.
Meng Fanqi recalled in his memory the days when he worked 996, commuting 2-3 hours a day to Yan Jing Shanghai, worrying about how many years he could continue his job while carrying a mortgage.
He also thought about his current situation, having just signed a astronomical profit-sharing contract with Baidu and about to negotiate with Google in Australia.
Holding the technology service contract he had just signed today, Meng Fanqi felt that his life was truly beginning at this moment, and his previous life could only be considered dead.
From this day on, he would have the ability and courage to refuse almost everything he didn't like or want in his life.
And he didn't need to provide any reasons or explanations to the other party.
He naively thought that everything would be happy, and he could make the people around him happy as well. Including Han Ci, the person who witnessed the first moment of his life changing.
Meng Fanqi actually didn't know anything about his future life. He had never set foot in such a wealthy class and world, but his heart was not empty. Likes, curiosity, luck, confusion, cowardice, and so on, everything surrounded him and never left.
Looking back at the streets he had walked, he couldn't remember which one he came from. The experience just now seemed to have scattered like willow catkins in the wind, and he only saw Han Ci, who had just made a funny face, turn her head.
For a long time after that, he had thought that no matter what, he would have to come back to this place again, because everything started from here, and he had to find it back from here. But the feeling of the past would never come back, but that's another story.
"Let's go, let's go to Gulou and take a look." Nanluoguxiang snacks were just snacks for Han Ci, but in the end, it was just a joke and not a proper meal.If they were really going to have dinner, they certainly wouldn't fill their stomachs with these snacks meant to fool tourists.
"Copper pot hotpot~" After walking from south to north through Nanluoguxiang, looking west to see the Drum Tower, and then seeing Shichahai from north to south, Han Ci found a copper pot hotpot restaurant near Houhai. She cheerfully started to show off her awkward Beijing dialect again.
This place was near Beihai North Station, right next to Prince Gong's Mansion.
Meng Fanqi couldn't help but hum a few lines, "South of the South Mountain, North of the Beihai."
"That sounds pretty good, whose song is it?"
Just as he was about to answer "Ma Di," Meng Fanqi suddenly froze on the spot. At this time, Ma Di hadn't released any songs yet.
