The autumn sun gently sprinkled on Dugong Lake, sparkling, as if every ray of light was warm, dispelling the last bit of coolness in the morning. Standing by the lake, Lu Yong took a deep breath of fresh air, turned to look at his girlfriend Hannah, and smiled, "How is it? The scenery here is pretty good, right?"

Hannah narrowed her eyes slightly and looked into the distance: "It's really beautiful. I feel like I've relaxed completely."

Lu Yong took Hannah's hand and walked slowly along the path by the lake: "Then let's enjoy this day."

The two spent a warm night in a nearby B&B last night, and drove to Dugong Lake Scenic Area early this morning. The scenery here is charming in all seasons, but Dugong Lake in autumn has a different charm. The golden leaves and the green lake complement each other, forming a gorgeous picture.

After walking for a while, Hannah suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, there's drifting over there!"

Lu Yong looked in the direction of Hannah's finger and saw a winding drifting river weaving through the mountains and forests, with tourists laughing from time to time. He smiled and looked at Hannah: "Want to try it?"

Hannah nodded excitedly: "Of course!"

The two quickly changed into rafting equipment and got on the raft. As the water pushed, the raft slowly moved forward. At first, the water was calm, but not long after, the first rapids came.

"Ah!" Hannah exclaimed and grabbed Lu Yong's arm tightly.

Lu Yong steadied himself and comforted him with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The raft swayed left and right in the rapids, like a boat riding the wind and waves. Hannah closed her eyes tightly, feeling the impact of the water and Lu Yong's company. When the raft finally stabilized, she opened her eyes, looked at Lu Yong and smiled, "It's so exciting!"

Lu Yong smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. There will be more exciting things to come."

As expected, as the rafting progressed, the rapids became more and more numerous and exciting. Hannah went from being nervous and scared at the beginning to gradually becoming excited and even began to take the initiative to challenge every rapid.

After the rafting, the two changed their clothes and sat on a bench by the lake to rest. Hannah looked at Lu Yong and smiled, "Thank you for bringing me to experience such an exciting activity."

Lu Yong gently held Hannah's hand: "As long as you like, I'm willing to do anything for you."

After resting for a while, the two decided to go boating. They rented a small boat and rowed leisurely on the lake. The sun shone on the lake, shining with golden light, as if the whole world had become gentle.

Hannah paddled gently and looked at Lu Yong: "Do you think we look like a couple in heaven?"

Lu Yong smiled and said, "More like a pair of explorers."

Hannah was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing: "Yes, we just want to explore every corner of this world together."

After rowing, the two began to stroll along the lake. The food street here attracted their attention. There were a variety of snack stalls and specialty restaurants, and the aroma was fragrant.

Hannah looked at the delicious food in front of her and couldn't help swallowing: "Let's try these."

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Okay, I also want to try the special food here."

The two began to walk around the food stalls, tasting all kinds of food, from grilled skewers to grilled fish, from candied haws to stinky tofu, and they were full of praise for each one.

"This grilled fish is so delicious!" Hannah praised while eating.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, the ingredients here are very fresh, so the taste is especially good."

After eating and drinking, the two continued to stroll along the lake. They walked across the long wooden bridge and admired the lotus flowers in the lake; they climbed up the small hill by the lake and overlooked the beautiful scenery of the entire Dugong Lake. At each scenic spot, Lu Yong would take out his mobile phone and take beautiful photos of Hannah.

"What do you think of this one?" Lu Yong showed the photo on his mobile phone.

Hannah came over to take a look and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, your photography skills are getting better and better."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "That's because you are beautiful."

The two chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they had reached the end of Dugong Lake. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him and Hannah beside him, Lu Yong's heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction. He knew that the beauty of this moment would be forever fixed in his memory.

In the afternoon, Lu Yong drove Hannah to Guishan Scenic Area, where there is a famous historical site - Guishan Han Tomb.

The two stood at the foot of Guishan Mountain and looked up at this ancient mountain. Lu Yong introduced: "The Guishan Han Tomb is an ancient tomb from the Western Han Dynasty. It is said that there are countless treasures and secrets hidden in it."

Hannah's eyes sparkled with curiosity: "Really? Then let's go in and take a look."

The two bought tickets and walked into the Guishan Han Tomb. As soon as they entered the tomb, an ancient atmosphere hit them. Under the dim light, the walls of the tomb looked particularly mysterious.

Lu Yong held Hannah's hand and walked carefully in front. He pointed at the patterns and words on the wall and said, "Look, these are the murals and inscriptions from the Western Han Dynasty."

Hannah looked at it carefully and exclaimed: "It's amazing. After so many years, these patterns and words are still preserved so well."

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, this is also the charm of this ancient tomb."

The two continued to go deeper into the tomb, and the more they walked, the more magical they felt. They saw huge sarcophagi, exquisite jades, ancient pottery... Every artifact seemed to be telling the story of that distant era.

"Do you think there are any secrets hidden behind these cultural relics?" Hannah asked curiously.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Who knows, maybe one day, we can solve these secrets."

The two walked and talked, and unknowingly reached the end of the tomb. Standing at the exit, looking back at this ancient tomb, Lu Yong's heart was full of emotion. He knew that this trip not only made him and Hannah understand each other better, but also gave them a deeper understanding of the world.

After leaving the Guishan Han Tomb, the two sat on a bench outside the scenic area to rest. Hannah looked at Lu Yong and smiled, "I'm so happy that you brought me to such a magical place."

Lu Yong gently held Hannah's hand: "As long as you want, I can take you anywhere you want to go."

Hannah's eyes sparkled with happiness: "With you by my side, anywhere is good." As the sun set, the two of them stretched out in the afterglow. They knew that although this journey was over today, their love and adventure had just begun. In the days to come, they would join hands and explore every corner of the world together, leaving behind their beautiful memories.

The sparkling waters of Dugong Lake and the ancient mystery of the Han Tomb of Guishan Mountain have become the most beautiful scenery in their love. And every adventure and trip makes them cherish each other more and love the world more.

Lu Yong looked at the sunset in the distance and secretly made a wish in his heart: I hope that his love with Hannah can be like the water of Dugong Lake, always clear and warm; I hope that their adventure journey can be like the Guishan Han Tomb, full of unknowns and surprises.

Hannah seemed to sense Lu Yong's wish. She held Lu Yong's hand tightly and said softly, "No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side."

Lu Yong turned to look at Hannah, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Me too, and always will."

The figures of the two gradually blurred in the sunset, but their love and dreams became clearer and firmer at this moment. As long as they accompany each other, no matter how bumpy and long the future road is, it will be full of hope and light.

As night fell, Dugong Lake and Guishan Mountain were immersed in tranquility. However, the love story of Lu Yong and Hannah quietly blossomed in this tranquility, becoming one of the most beautiful chapters in their lives.

……

The autumn beauty of Dugong Lake and the ancient legend of the Han Tomb of Guishan set off each other, adding endless colors and memories to Lu Yong and Hannah's love journey. And every time they think of this journey, they will smile happily, because this is the road they have walked together and it is also the most beautiful witness of their love.

As time goes by, Lu Yong and Hannah may have grown old, but when they sit in the rocking chair and recall this journey in their youth, they still laugh like children.

And it all started on that sunny autumn day when Lu Yong took Hannah into the Dugong Lake Scenic Area and started an adventure journey of their own.

From that moment on, their fates were closely linked.

The morning sun shone through the gap in the hotel curtains and quietly slipped into the room. Lu Yong slowly opened his eyes and looked at Hannah who was sleeping beside him, with a gentle smile on his face. He got up gently, without disturbing Hannah's sweet dream, walked to the window alone, and opened the curtains. The scenery outside the window instantly came into view, and the outline of Xuzhou's city gradually became clear in the morning light.

Lu Yong turned back to the bed and gently pushed Hannah: "Nana, it's time to get up. We still have to go to the Hubu Mountain Ancient Buildings Complex today."

Hannah rubbed her eyes, looking a little cute in her confusion: "Yeah... I know, Brother Yong."

The two quickly washed up and went to the hotel restaurant. There were not many people in the restaurant, so they found a seat by the window. A simple breakfast was served, and Lu Yong ate while chatting with Hannah about today's schedule.

"The Hubu Mountain ancient building complex is a treasure trove. Not only can you see the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but you can also feel the rich Xuzhou culture." Lu Yong said excitedly.

Hannah was also full of anticipation: "Really? Then I must take some good photos as a souvenir."

After the meal, the two drove to Hubu Mountain. As the car slowly drove into the scenic area, a group of ancient buildings came into view. The blue bricks, black tiles, and flying eaves and corners seemed to have traveled back to the Ming and Qing dynasties hundreds of years ago.

Lu Yong held Hannah's hand and strolled through the ancient streets and alleys. Every stone slab and every wall here revealed the vicissitudes and weight of history. They first came to Ximatai, where Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, once lived. On the stage, a statue of Xiang Yu stood majestically.

Hannah stood in front of the statue and looked up: "Is this Xiang Yu? He is so majestic!"

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, he is a great hero in history. Imagine how heroic he was riding a horse and waving a whip here."

The two continued walking, admiring various ancient buildings along the way. Suddenly, Hannah was attracted by a shop that rented cheongsams. She took Lu Yong in and chose a cheongsam that she liked. The tailoring of the cheongsam perfectly outlined Hannah's graceful figure. She stood in front of the mirror, looking left and right, and was very satisfied.

"Brother Yong, how do you think I look in this?" Hannah showed off the cheongsam she was wearing.

Lu Yong's eyes lit up and he praised her endlessly: "She is so beautiful! She is just like a girl who walked out of a painting."

Hannah smiled shyly. She decided to take a group of cheongsam photos in the ancient buildings of Hubu Mountain. Lu Yong picked up his mobile phone and acted as a photographer. He patiently guided Hannah's posture and captured every beautiful moment.

As the shutter sounded, Hannah's beautiful figure in the ancient buildings was captured. Her smile and the solemnity of the ancient buildings set off each other, forming a series of moving pictures. The surrounding tourists were also attracted and stopped to watch, exclaiming from time to time.

"This girl looks so good in cheongsam!"

"Yes, it matches the ancient buildings here perfectly!"

Hannah was delighted to hear the compliments from the tourists. She posed in various positions more confidently for Lu Yong to take pictures of her. Lu Yong was generous with his praises, praising Hannah's beauty in every picture he took.

At this moment, a small incident happened. A young boy accidentally bumped into Hannah, and the ice cream in his hand spilled on her cheongsam. The boy was so scared that his face turned pale and he apologized repeatedly.

Seeing this, Hannah quickly comforted the little boy: "It's okay, little friend, don't be afraid."

Lu Yong also came over and patted the little boy's shoulder gently: "It's okay, kid, be careful when playing."

The boy's parents also rushed over, apologized, and offered to compensate Hannah for the cleaning fee of her cheongsam. But Hannah smiled and refused: "It's really okay, I can clean it myself. Don't blame the child, he didn't do it on purpose."

Hannah's tolerance and generosity won praise from all the tourists around her. The boy's parents were also very grateful and thanked her repeatedly.

This episode did not affect Hannah's mood. Instead, she felt that it was an unforgettable experience. She continued to wear cheongsam and take photos in the ancient buildings, and Lu Yong continued to serve as the photographer.

As the shooting progressed, the two gradually integrated into the historical atmosphere of this ancient building complex. They seemed to have traveled back to the Ming and Qing dynasties hundreds of years ago, feeling the customs and habits of that era. Every photo recorded their smiles and happiness, and also recorded this wonderful time.

After the shooting, the two sat in an antique teahouse to rest. Lu Yong ordered a cup of her favorite jasmine tea for Hannah, and the two talked about their experiences today while sipping tea.

"Nana, you are so beautiful today." Lu Yong praised sincerely.

Hannah smiled shyly: "It's because you take good pictures."

Lu Yong shook his head: "No, you are beautiful. No matter how you are photographed, you are the most beautiful."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with happiness and sweetness. (End of this chapter)
