Mu Le was holding Gu Mingyuan's hand tightly, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
She began to feel like a scumbag - the kind who flirted with women under the pretext of "doing it for her own good" but didn't marry them.
Besides, Gu Mingyuan is not a fool.
He could probably see through her evasion and deception to some extent.
However, Gu Mingyuan's attitude towards her remained the same as always, even a little better than usual.
… No, it’s always good enough.
To be precise, more... intimate than usual
Mu Le bit his ice cream and looked up at the man beside him.
The Imperial Capital Museum covers an astonishing area and is usually considered a well-known tourist attraction. There are usually many travelers visiting here, and there are also large and small primary and secondary schools that organize groups to visit.
Although technology has now developed to the point where any information can be directly "reproduced" and can be remotely displayed in front of the orcs...but the shock of seeing these real objects up close and with your own eyes is not comparable to the replica version.
The museum has also added many interactive facilities, which are said to allow visitors to experience the weight of history in an immersive way.
… In short, the Capital Museum is much more lively than Mule imagined.
There are many people selling melon seeds, drinks and snacks in the front row at the entrance of the museum and even inside the museum...
Oh, there are no melon seeds.
But there is ice cream.
Mu Le licked the ice cream again and felt that the ice cream in her hand was more creamy than any she had eaten before.
Perhaps he felt her gaze, Gu Mingyuan tilted his head and looked at her.
Mu Le didn't dare to look him in the eye now.
She was about to turn her head and look somewhere else.
But Gu Mingyuan's finger had already stretched out.
Mu Le: “… ?”
Gu Mingyuan held a handkerchief in his hand and gently rubbed the corner of her mouth.
The warm touch of the fingertips came through the handkerchief, the movement was gentle and ambiguous.
Mu Le felt dizzy.
"Eat slowly." Gu Mingyuan said, "Don't be in a hurry."
Mu Le: “…Okay.”
Although there were small ice cream shops and even vending machines outside the museum, they were not allowed to eat snacks while visiting the venue they were going to.
That venue is not even open to the public. I heard that it contains very precious materials or some materials that cannot be widely read by the public.
…like that light novel.
Mu Le read it again these days and was almost certain that it was two Japanese light novels. To be honest, it might be two volumes that were still being serialized.
Because neither volume is the beginning or the end.
Mu Le no longer had any expectations for it.
This time I came here with Gu Mingyuan purely as a date...
Gu Mingyuan went to confirm the electronic entry number with the staff, then returned to the girl sitting on the bench at the entrance of the venue and put a brand new handkerchief in her hand.
Mu Le: “…”
It really is like a date.
After she finished her ice cream, she wiped her mouth obediently and followed Gu Mingyuan into the venue.
"Do you want to read something else?" Gu Mingyuan asked her, "or should we just go and read that ancient book?"
Mu Le's eyes lit up: "Can I see something else?"
"Okay." Gu Mingyuan said, extending a hand to her, "Follow me closely and don't run around."
Mu Le nodded vigorously and put her hand into his.
As a result, Gu Mingyuan turned his fingers, and the way the two held hands suddenly changed to interlocking their fingers.
Mu Le: “!!!”
Gu Mingyuan's ears turned red, but his face was calm as if nothing had happened. He used his other hand to open the light screen to check the map.
Mu Le, who originally wanted to treat this trip as a date, is now so nervous that he is almost at a loss for words.
Gu Mingyuan might have done some homework before coming here—or maybe his knowledge is just that broad.
He served almost entirely as the tour guide for this trip.
Every time they went to a place, if Mu Le showed an interested expression, he would patiently explain to Mu Le the story behind that thing.
Some stories were too complicated and involved too many professional terms, so Mu Le could only nod along, not quite understanding them.
At times like this, Gu Mingyuan would reveal a subtle smile.
It's the kind of smile that's both doting and helpless, and there's also a line in it that says "My little girl is so cute even though she looks silly."
The smile was so small that it could hardly be called a smile.
But Mu Le felt like she was about to be intoxicated by his smile.
Gu Mingyuan held Mu Le's hand and walked past the exhibits one by one.
The museum was tall and huge, and there were many things on display inside. Mu Le followed Gu Mingyuan and walked for almost an hour, but they still hadn't seen even a glimpse of the light novel.
But Mu Le saw the bathroom.
Mu Le stopped and pulled Gu Mingyuan's hand.
Because the venue was almost empty and too quiet, she didn't dare to speak loudly here. She just pulled Gu Mingyuan's hand to get his attention.
But this action really looks like shaking his arm to act coquettishly.
Mu Le shook twice and then stopped.
Gu Mingyuan stopped and turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Mu Le pointed to the bathroom: "I, that..."
Gu Mingyuan pursed his lips: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
When the child had just learned a few words, he could still say "toilet" to him clearly and loudly.
Now I am embarrassed to even say “I need to go to the toilet”…
Kind of cute.
Mu Le let go of his hand and rushed into the bathroom like a little rabbit.
…
What Mu Le didn't expect was that because the venue was so winding and so large, the bathroom was located close to the center of gravity and was well connected.
So when she came out, she saw four identical exits in front of her... or maybe six.
Mu Le picked one at random and walked out.
She saw a completely unfamiliar scene outside the exit and originally planned to return the same way, or simply call Gu Mingyuan to ask for directions -
But she was attracted by an exhibit ahead.
The museum was empty and quiet. Mu Le looked at the huge exhibits not far away and walked towards that direction involuntarily.
Finally we stopped in front of the sign.
She lowered her head and read the words on the sign carefully.
"Ancient dragons and scorched earth, scene reproduction."
"The only scene in the entire empire where an ancient dragon completely reverts to its original form and destroys a city."
"1:500"
These two short sentences clearly indicate what this thing is.
Judging from the year marked below, this happened about 1,300 years ago.
Mu Le raised his head and looked at the huge dragon-like creature in front of him.
It was a creature with the appearance of a Western dragon in Earth legends. Its horns were harder and more rugged than those Mu Le had ever seen. Its face and eyes were extremely ferocious. Its hard tail curved behind it, looking lifelike and as if it would swing at any time.
Even if it was shrunk five hundred times, Mu Le felt that it looked four or five times as tall as himself.
The creature was flying high above a city, its sharp teeth clearly visible in its open mouth.
The projection equipment caused its mouth to spit out a cluster of flames from time to time. It was completely different from the sparks that Gu Mingyuan occasionally coughed up. It was a fierce, intense and aggressive fire.
Below the dragon is a miniature of a certain area in a city.
The city was completely burned and corpses were scattered all over the place.
The author has something to say: #About why everyone is afraid of Longlong#
Mu Le: Wow (no emotion in my heart) (My Yuan Yuan is still the best)
