Ten years as a substitute!Now that she leaves, she regrets it too much

After Jiang An and Lin Xixi returned to the hotel, they walked to the balcony together. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows.

Jiang An took out a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for Lin Xixi. The two clinked their glasses gently and smiled at each other.

"Today's concert was really great," Lin Xixi took a sip of red wine, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "I feel like I have traveled to the Middle Ages and felt the style of that era."

Jiang An looked at her tenderly, "Yes, music has a magical power that allows us to travel through time and space and experience different cultures and histories."

The two chatted about the day's concert, laughing from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm and sweet.

"By the way, Xixi," Jiang An suddenly asked, "Where should we go to France next? Do you have any good suggestions?"

Lin Xixi was stunned for a moment, then smiled sheepishly, "Actually, I haven't thought about it yet. There are so many beautiful places in France that are worth visiting."

Jiang An gently held her hand, "It doesn't matter, we can think about it slowly. No matter where we go, as long as you are by my side, it will be the most beautiful scenery."

After hearing this, Lin Xixi showed a sweet smile on her face, "You are right, as long as I am with you, it doesn't matter where I go."

The two smiled at each other and continued to sip red wine, enjoying this rare quiet time. The sunset gradually sets and night falls quietly, but the warm atmosphere on the balcony does not diminish at all.

Jiang An suddenly suggested: "Actually, there is another city in France that is worth visiting, and that is Lyon. It is a famous historical and cultural city in France, with rich art and historical relics."

Lin Xixi asked curiously: "Lyon? I have heard of this name, but I don't know much about it. Can you tell me about it?"

Jiang An nodded and began to introduce in detail: "Lyon is a city in southeastern France. It is located at the intersection of the Rhone and Saone rivers. It is an important industrial city in France and the most important science and education center after Paris."

“It is also one of the important bases for France’s machinery, electronics, chemical industry, biomedicine, and textile industries. It is also the capital of gourmet food, France’s famous gourmet capital. It is home to many French delicacies and is a paradise for many gourmets.”

He paused and saw that Lin Xixi was listening with interest, so he continued: "The history of Lyon can be traced back to the ancient Roman period, so many ancient buildings and historical relics are preserved in the city."

"For example, the old town of Lyon is known as 'one of the most charming ancient neighborhoods in Europe'. The architectural style here is unique, and the streets are narrow and winding, making people feel like they are in a medieval environment."

"Sounds interesting," Lin Xixi interjected, "I have always liked cities with historical heritage."

Jiang An smiled and continued: "In addition to the old city, Lyon also has a very famous attraction, which is Lyon Cathedral. This Gothic building is one of the largest churches in France, with its unique architectural style and exquisite The stone carvings are stunning.”

"Especially the stained glass windows in the church. The sunlight casts colorful light through the windows, which is simply breathtakingly beautiful."

Jiang An emphasized here that although they had seen many Gothic churches before, they were all different from Lyon Cathedral.

"Hearing what you said, I really look forward to seeing that cathedral with my own eyes!" Lin Xixi sighed.

"Of course, the beauty of Lyon lies not only in its historical buildings,"

Jiang An added, "This city is also the gastronomic capital of France. If you imagine walking on the ancient streets, you can see various restaurants and food stalls everywhere."

“You can taste an authentic French meal, and you can also try a variety of authentic Lyon snacks, such as the famous Lyonnais barbecue, French escargots, etc.”

Lin Xixi's mouth watered when she heard this, "A city of gourmet food? Then I must go and try the food there!"

Seeing Lin Xixi's excitement, Jiang An was filled with anticipation. He decided to give her a surprise, "Since you want to go to Lyon so much, let's set off tomorrow!"

"Really?" Lin Xixi's eyes widened and she looked at Jiang An in disbelief.

"Of course it's true," Jiang An said with a smile, "I've already booked a flight to Lyon tomorrow, first class!"

The two took a plane to Lyon.

In the spacious first-class seat of the plane, Jiang An took out a travel guide about Lyon and began to plan their trip with Lin Xixi.

They were full of anticipation and longing for the upcoming trip to Lyon, and this sweetness and anticipation also deepened their feelings. As the plane took off, their hearts also flew to the city full of historical charm and food temptations - Lyon.

As the plane landed smoothly, Jiang An and Lin Xixi walked out of Lyon Airport hand in hand.

Jiang An couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw Lin Xixi's expectant look.

"Xixi, how do you want to arrange your trip this time?" Jiang An asked with a smile.

Lin Xixi thought for a while and said, "I want to experience Lyon's historical and cultural atmosphere, so can we find a hotel with local historical characteristics to stay? I don't want to always stay in the same five-star hotels."

After hearing this, Jiang An nodded in agreement, "This is a good idea. It can not only feel the historical heritage of Lyon, but also make the trip more interesting. Then let's come and find out!"

So the two began to use the Internet to search for a hotel that suited them.

After some selection, they finally found a very unique hotel - the "October Castle Hotel" located in the old town of Lyon.

“This hotel looks great!”

Lin Xixi excitedly pointed to the picture of the hotel on the screen and said, "Look, it looks like a medieval castle, and the introduction says it retains many original architectural features and decorations."

Jiang An was also very satisfied, "Yes, the historical and cultural heritage of this hotel is indeed very profound. It is said that it was built in the fourteenth century and was once the residence of nobles. It was later transformed into a hotel, but many of its original features were retained. Architectural elements such as ancient stone walls, arched doorways and medieval furniture.”

"Then let's book this hotel!" Lin Xixi couldn't wait to make the decision.

Soon, they completed the check-in procedures and arrived at this ancient castle hotel.

As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, they were attracted by the simple and elegant atmosphere.

Some historical paintings and ancient armors are hung on the walls of the lobby, which seem to tell the glorious history of this castle.

Jiang An and Lin Xixi's room is located in a corner of the castle, with an independent terrace overlooking the entire Old Town of Lyon.

In the room, the simple wooden furniture, gorgeous tapestries, and exquisite wall lamps all reflect the nobility and elegance of this castle.

"I really like this hotel!" Lin Xixi said excitedly, holding Jiang An's hand. "I feel like I have traveled through the Middle Ages. It has a dreamy and solemn feel."

Jiang An also responded with a smile: "Yes, this trip will definitely leave us with unforgettable memories. Moreover, staying in such a hotel, we can also feel the historical and cultural atmosphere of Lyon more deeply."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with anticipation and joy.

They decided to spend the next few days exploring this charming city and experiencing Lyon's unique style and historical heritage.

And this ancient castle hotel has become an indispensable part of their trip, adding a lot of color and fun to their journey.

After a day's rest, Jiang An and Lin Xixi started their adventure in Lyon in high spirits. In the morning, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and dappled the room. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, ready to set off.

"Where should we go first today?" Lin Xixi asked Jiang An's opinion while arranging the camera.

Jiang An took out the guide he had made before, pointed to a mark on it and said, "Let's go to the old town of Lyon first. There are many ancient buildings and interesting shops there."

The two walked to the Old Town of Lyon, as if they had traveled through time and space and were in the streets of the Middle Ages. The narrow streets are lined with quaint stone buildings, the balconies are filled with flowers, and the air is filled with the aroma of French bread and coffee.

"This place is really charming!" Lin Xixi picked up the camera excitedly and kept taking photos.

Jiang An took her to an old bookstore. The bookstore was filled with all kinds of old books, as well as some rare ancient books and manuscripts. The two stayed in the bookstore for a long time, and finally Jiang An picked a book about the history of Lyon for Lin Xixi as a souvenir. (End of this chapter)
