Chapter 276 270. Return
Early in the morning, Zhong Leyi took out two identical pure white T-shirts that she had prepared earlier from the large and small bags she bought in the store yesterday, and asked Gu Yun to bring them.

"How about we take these two T-shirts and go to the batik village to draw two patterns later?"

"What do you want to draw?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later."

Batik Village is located in Ubud, which is known as the "Island of Art" in Bali.Also known as the cultural art village of the island, it is the most prestigious tourist attraction in Bali.

The car parked near Ubud, and the two walked all the way to the batik village. The mild and humid air was soaked with a strong cultural atmosphere. Along the way, there were galleries, exquisite wood and stone carving and relief shops, and small art shops.

It is said that there are also artists from Europe gathered here. Since the 15th century, Western artists have come here to find inspiration after discovering the amazing artistic charm of Ubud.

While importing Western style into Ubud art, it also spreads the beauty of Ubud to the world, attracting countless tourists to visit here.

"What pattern do you want to draw?"

In the gallery, the painter smiled and introduced relevant knowledge to Zhong Leyi.

In the Batik Village, visitors can choose any pattern they like, and then the female workers will draw on your clothes on the spot.

Most uncomplicated patterns can be done in less than 5 minutes.

Moreover, the material of this kind of batik is made of a local grass juice, and the color is all natural yellowish brown, which can quickly penetrate into the fibers of the fabric.

After it dries completely, even if it is washed with water, the color will not fade, and the painted cloth will not feel hard to the touch, which is very natural.

"The bigger picture is a mountain with a cave on it."

Zhong Leyi's eyes flickered, and she quickly thought of an idea, "The smaller one, draw a Ferris wheel in the middle."

The painter nodded and said that these two patterns are fine: "When you come to the batik village, if you want to draw a pattern, please prepare a T-shirt. It only costs 5000 dong for a simple pattern, and 10000 dong for a large one."

Gu Yun handed over two white clothes and [-] dong in cash, waiting quietly for the finished product to come out.

"Purely hand-painted patterns, as long as they don't wash in hot water, they can be worn for a lifetime without fading."

It took half an hour to complete the custom-made pattern, and the other party dried it as soon as it was finished, and handed it to Gu Yun.

The two found a place to change into new commemorative clothes. In the end of summer, the unforgettable scenes of each other were turned into white T-shirts and wrapped around their hearts. Zhong Leyi's crisp laughter did not stop along the way.

Take a boat from Ubud to Lembongan Island. It is said that the island has the clearest water in Bali, commonly known as the glass sea.

This is a place favored by God, with soft white sandy beaches and calm blue waters, everything can be compared to the most beautiful language.

"The road here is so difficult to walk, I don't want to go, shall we ride that one?"

The mountain road on Lembongan Island was irregularly rugged and twisted. After walking a few steps, Zhong Leyi pouted and pointed to the group of motorcycles at the other end.

After renting one for a few minutes, the two people changed their way of travel to motorcycles,

A pair of lovers were riding a motorcycle on Lembongan Island, and no one asked to look at the map first. Zhong Leyi hugged Gu Yun's back tightly, and there was a refreshing smell of a teenager in her nostrils. She squinted her eyes, aimlessly Enjoy the moment.

The soft wind of the island smoothed her bangs at high speed, and every minute and every second with Gu Yun, even without the beautiful mangrove forest in front of her, she still felt that her whole being was filled with happiness.

"Why does it say mangroves on this sign? They are obviously green."

When reaching a steep slope, Gu Yun slowed down, Zhong Leyi looked at the sign not far from him and asked.

At the northern end of Lembongan Island, there are a large number of mangroves planted, the tropical dark green, shining in the sunshine of the equator.

"Because it's not yet autumn. It will turn red in late autumn. The temperature drops, causing the chlorophyll in the leaves to change from green to red."

Gu Yun recalled his biological knowledge and replied.

"Like a maple leaf?"

Driving through the silent mangrove forest, Gu Yun began to speed up slowly, and Zhong Leyi's arms holding him became tighter.

"correct."

"The slowly falling maple leaves are like longing, I light candles to warm the autumn at the end of the year~"

A straight path with no end in sight at a glance, the long-haired girl behind her was stuck to the boy's back, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and the singing sounded softly, leaving passers-by with a soft profile.

"The slowly falling maple leaves are like longing, why should we recover before winter comes~"

Gu Yun slowed down again, controlled the surging engine sound, turned it off in first gear, and sang along with her, just like two students who first fell in love riding a motorcycle home.

The local passers-by who looked sideways heard the cheerful singing of the young couple, and grinned as they passed by. The smile came from the heart and was extremely bright.

Such a youthful picture is worth revisiting in the photo album of memories after a few years. The appeal of this moment, regardless of national boundaries and languages, simply touches people's hearts.

After visiting Lembongan Island, the two returned to Ubud by boat and moved to a new hotel.

Strictly speaking, this place called Alam should be regarded as a homestay. If Gu Yun was not willing to pay a high price, it would have to be booked half a year in advance.

In the hotel, tropical plants such as coconut trees are densely covered, blending with the natural environment, and the exquisite gravel path shuttles through the forest.

The night lights are on, and there is no sound of sea waves here, only the sound of unknown insects.

The mountains and forests are silent, and the moonlight is as before.

Behind it is Ubud's famous Monkey Forest, and the hotel is surrounded by various artistic atmospheres and dense forests.

Each house is in a well-arranged garden, and the garden is in a rural rice field. Most of the houses are divided into upper and lower floors. The rooms and bathrooms are quite large, and the decoration is full of Balinese local style.

The room Gu Yun snatched was even more luxurious, with an upstairs open-air shower, and a sweeping view of the rice fields. When they returned to the hotel, they gave them a death cake for afternoon tea, which was refreshing with black tea.

"Just try the cake, we're going out for dinner."

Changing out the two precious clothes and putting them in the suitcase, Zhong Leyi put on a small flower vest similar to the local clothes, and tied the hair scattered on both sides into a high ponytail, revealing her fair neck.

Compared with the impetuousness of Bali in the south, Ubud is very leisurely and calm. Even the most impatient tourists can readily accept the leisure of spending half a day in a cafe watching the scenery.

The same is true for Zhong Leyi, who took off her small cotton socks and liberated her delicate feet for climbing mountains and wading in water. When a girl went to the country to do as the Romans did, she stepped on the flip-flops of the hotel and went out.

Walking on the streets of Ubud, there are no traffic lights here. Although the widest road is only 2 lanes, most roads are only for two motorcycles in parallel. Although there are too many cars and motorcycles here, the traffic is surprisingly orderly.

The two of them had already selected the place for the evening dinner on Xiaojushu. It has to be said that after a period of development, Xiaojushu has become an industry benchmark for overseas travel-related content.

At least when people of the same age go on a trip, they have never heard of any sisters around them, and they don't need Xiaojushu to make a special card.

After tasting the dirty duck meal last time, Zhong Leyi fell in love with this special Balinese food, and clamored to eat it again. This time, the two specially found the most authentic dirty duck meal in Bali, and vowed to feast on it.

The owner of this restaurant is a master of garden design. There is a lotus pond at the entrance, and the restaurant is full of green leaves. It feels very good.

Upon entering the door, the welcoming lady in the restaurant held a basket of pale white frangipani flowers, and inserted one for each guest, accompanied by a professional smile.

"You two please sit outside, there will be a song and dance performance later."

In Bali, it is not only women who arrange flowers in their hair, but also men. Their hair is as short as Gu Yun's, and it is clipped to the ears.

The dinner was set on a round table next to the square where the dance was performed. Candles were lit on the table. The welcoming lady guided the two to a good location and unfolded the menu.

"It is said that this store is even more delicious than last time, so you have to taste it later."

After relatively sitting down, Gu Yun took the menu and ordered a lot, and introduced it to Zhong Leyi.

"Is there any difference?"

Zhong Leyi blinked her puzzled eyes, and the welcoming lady next to her took up the conversation.

“Our crispy roast duck has undergone constant trials and can be crispy but not dry and maintain its unique flavor. It is recommended to try coconut pie and apple pie, which taste equally good.”

"Okay, let's try."

Gu Yun nodded, returned the menu to the other party, and ordered the famous crispy duck, sliced ​​roast duck, organic lettuce salad and coconut pie.

A series of complicated Balinese dishes were served. Gu Yun and Zhong Leyi enjoyed them while waiting for the show to start.

"You said, although I was very happy when I had dinner with you at school, why is it not as happy as now?"

Night had already fallen, and the moonlight shone on the open-air square. The light of singing and dancing was not enough to light up the center of the two of them. There was only one candle in front of them, and Zhong Leyi spoke in the darkness.

"The reason why travel is happy is that travel has a deadline."

Gu Yun picked up the spoon, scooped up a small half of the salad, and replied.

"If it weren't for the limited holidays, we'd live here all our lives, and you'd be bored just the same."

"really?"

Zhong Leyi took a sip of the red wine in front of her, her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and the light in her pupils shone brightly.

"I think it would be nice if I could only live with you for the rest of my life."

Against the noisy background of singing and dancing, the girl's murmur was not loud, and her expression didn't seem to change, like a casual raving.

But Gu Yun heard it clearly.

His heart was slightly tugged.

The implication of Zhong Leyi's words could not be more obvious.

Even though she has been like a little angel for a few days since the sweet trip, she has been happy every day and has never shown a lost expression, but in the dim environment, the word "only" still reveals her inner thoughts after all.

It's not unreasonable to think about it, who wants to pretend that he doesn't care, who doesn't want to grow up with the boy he loves, and be a couple for life?
"Of course we will be together forever, and I didn't promise you all, there is a trip every year."

Gu Yun stretched out his hands to wrap around Zhong Leyi's catkin, feeling a bit cold to the touch.

"Then you must not forget!"

Zhong Leyi nodded, as if she had adjusted her mood, the smile on the corner of her mouth reappeared, and her voice changed back to a clear and bright voice.

In the remaining few days, Zhong Leyi and Gu Yun played all over Bali.

In the small town of Kintamani, they saw the Kintamani active volcano at an altitude of 1500 meters. Along the way, there were the earliest ancient kingdoms and civilizations, as well as breathtaking terraced rice fields.

In Lovina, they participated in the snorkeling project of the local diving shop, rented a whole set of equipment, and swam with dolphins, corals and tropical fish happily.

Woke up at 03:30, gave up a comfortable sleep, in exchange for the dazzling sunrise at dawn, the two saw the sea dyed fiery red, and the plopping sound of groups of dolphins jumping out of the water.

In the place where it is said that the great god Indra gushed out of the holy spring with a spear, there is a big tree surrounded by several people at the gate of the grand temple, and the stone shrine under the tree is covered with moss.

They worship and take a bath in Shengquan Temple. Each water outlet has different effects, some can eliminate disasters and disasters, and some can purify the soul.

In the famous Suruk Silverware Village, Gu Yun bought two pairs of silver ornaments for Zhong Leyi, one pair was worn on the wrist, and the other pair was made of silver carvings of traditional Balinese myths and scenes, worn on the girl's smooth and slender ankles up, gleaming in the sun.

The dark green South Bay is the best water sports area in Bali, where they experienced the world's most novel "flying fish", thrilling "rockets", high-altitude paragliders that can enjoy the panoramic view of Bali, and those who pursue extreme speed jet ski.

Later, they went out to sea by boat, circled the entire South Bay to enjoy the sea view, played all the water sports in one go, and left many precious and exciting photos.

The last stop of their trip was Tegalalang Rice Terraces, where they discovered many wonderful scenes familiar from postcards and photographs.

The fields dotted with coconut palms and the majestic volcanic backdrop make it unique among the countless rice terraces in the world.

Taking an open-top jeep is the best way to appreciate the scenery of the terraced fields. They raised their mobile phones in the car to take selfies, and they can have a panoramic view of the natural beauty.

Until the holiday balance turned red and declared insufficient, Gu Yun and Zhong Leyi packed their bags, returned to Bali Airport, and boarded the plane back to Jiangcheng.
