The two wandered the event site until past twelve, walking around, checking out various traditional cultural items, and occasionally snapping photos.

Just like that, it was already past twelve.

"Teacher, I'm going to pick up my girlfriend now." Xu Lin checked the time.

"Then I'm getting ready to leave too, let me change my clothes!"

Shang Wanjun was a bit regretful.

Xu Lin returned to the changing room with her, and Shang Wanjun soon came out.

She then removed her makeup in the bathroom, restoring her morning look.

"Today's experience was nice, Xu Lin, thank you for accompanying me!"

In the car, Shang Wanjun flicked her hair.

Xu Lin smiled and asked, "Teacher, where do you plan to go? Back to school?"

"Drop me off at the nearest mall, I'll buy some things, and then I'll take a cab back. You can go pick up your girlfriend."

"Ok."

Xu Lin had Shang Wanjun check the map, and they ended up at the nearest mall.

Shang Wanjun got out of the car and said goodbye, "See you tonight, Xu Lin!"

"See you tonight."

Xu Lin drove away afterward.

Not long after parting ways with Shang Wanjun.

[You have completed the task: Shang Wanjun's wish.]

[Received a random special identity reward: Composer.]

?

Xu Lin silently read and clicked open.

[Composer: You will become a top-notch composer, possessing Absolute Pitch, and in the field of composition, you will have an invincible presence.]

?

Compose? Absolute Pitch?

Xu Lin pulled over, and suddenly his mind was filled with a lot of knowledge.

Xu Lin took quite some time to digest it all.

What is composition?

The first thing that came to Xu Lin's mind was music and various film soundtracks, like a background music piece he loved, the BGM "1991" from "Infernal Affairs 2," slow and profound, with a strong sense of sadness and destiny.

"Am I going to mix in these two fields?"

Xu Lin continued driving, pondering along the way, and finally decided to find some time to study it well.

A little after one in the afternoon, Xu Lin met Ning Yuhuan.

She wasn't going to grade papers this afternoon, just tagging along with Xu Lin to play around.

Xu Lin took her to the amusement park.

Ning Yuhuan grew up in the countryside, and most people from the countryside never had the chance to visit an amusement park, as their parents couldn't bear to spend that bit of money.

In reality, a trip to an amusement park doesn't cost much.

They went in with a pair of tickets costing 199 yuan, allowing them to enjoy all the attractions inside.

It was Ning Yuhuan's first time at an amusement park, and she was very curious about everything inside, like a kid.

"I used to think going to an amusement park was expensive."

Ning Yuhuan looked around curiously.

"That's normal; you only know after you go."

Xu Lin asked her, "Which attractions do you want to try?"

"I want to try the Ferris wheel, bumper cars..."

Ning Yuhuan rattled off a bunch of attractions excitedly.

"Then let's try them one by one!"

In the afternoon, under Xu Lin's lead, Ning Yuhuan played inside the amusement park for over three hours.

Unbeknownst to her, Xu Lin made up for Ning Yuhuan's childhood regret.

In fact, Xu Lin just drove past the amusement park and on a whim decided to take her in.

Coming from a well-off family, Xu Lin experienced all the childhood joys the kids from other cities did.

For Xu Lin, there were no regrets in childhood, but for those who grew up in the countryside, regrets are plenty. Maybe snacks that are common in the city are unheard of by kids from the countryside, highlighting the information gap between rural and urban areas.

"Which attraction was the most fun?"

After getting off the roller coaster, Xu Lin asked the still energetic Ning Yuhuan.

She's quite brave; while others turned pale and wobbly, some even threw up on the spot after roller coasters, Ning Yuhuan remained spirited.

"Hmm...I found the roller coaster the most thrilling, and the bumper cars the most fun!"

"I get why the roller coaster is thrilling, but why the bumper cars?"

"Because I can bump around with hubby!"

Ning Yuhuan hugged Xu Lin's arm excitedly and said, "Since I'm particularly happy today, dinner's on me! Hubby, what do you want to eat?"

"You're treating? Then I won't hold back?"

"I have money!"

Ning Yuhuan said.

Xu Lin chuckled, "I want to try Sichuan cuisine. I've heard it's really spicy and I haven't tried it yet."

"Then I'll treat hubby to Sichuan food!"

Ning Yuhuan excitedly said, "Let me look up a Sichuan restaurant!"

She opened her phone, searched for Sichuan restaurants, and indeed, many appeared.

This time, Ning Yuhuan didn't skimp, insisting on going to the best Sichuan restaurant.

It's named Hero Chuan, with an average cost of 150 per person, located ten-plus kilometers away.

"Sure you want to go to this one?"

"Yes, yes, let's go to this one!"

Ning Yuhuan: "I'm treating!"

"Alright, hold on tight!"

"Okay!"

A little after four in the afternoon, the two arrived at the destination.

The menu consisted of common Sichuan dishes, definitely spicy, with the pictures showing a lot of red chili peppers.

"Hubby, can you handle this much spice?"

"I'm sure I can, but I should ask if you can?"

"I can too!"

Ning Yuhuan puffed, "I inherited it from my mom; my mom can handle spicy really well, where my grandma's from they eat a lot of spicy food!"

The two ordered three dishes: twice-cooked pork, spicy crab, and dry-braised fish.

All were spicy but very satisfying to eat.

Xu Lin didn't need to say much about his spice tolerance; now with his strong constitution, he can handle any food.

And Ning Yuhuan truly could eat spicy food, even munching on chili peppers from time to time. The aunties at the next table couldn't help but say, "Girl, you sure can handle spicy! Are you from Sichuan and Chongqing?"

Ning Yuhuan: "My mom is from Sichuan and Chongqing!"

Xu Lin, satiated, left with her.

"Auntie is from Sichuan and Chongqing, say something in the local dialect?"
