Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight crept onto Lu Yong's face through the gap in the curtains, he slowly opened his eyes. Hannah's sleeping face beside him was quiet and sweet, and he couldn't help but smile.

Lu Yong stood up gently without disturbing her, but walked to the window alone, looking at the strange land outside the window, with an inexplicable expectation in his heart.

Today, he is going to take Hannah to a special place - the ancient mountain city of Turpan, a place that carries thousands of years of history and culture.

After breakfast, the two drove to the Gaoshan Ancient City. As the car gradually moved away from the hustle and bustle of the city and drove into a vast desert, Lu Yong could feel Hannah's excitement and curiosity. She kept asking questions about the ancient city, and Lu Yong patiently answered them one by one, occasionally inserting some interesting historical stories, which made Hannah laugh again and again.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a majestic ancient city wall. After getting off the car, Lu Yong held Hannah's hand and walked through the mottled city gate, as if they had traveled through a tunnel of time and space and arrived in another world. In the ancient city, traces of time are everywhere, and every brick and stone, every piece of rubble tells of the past glory and vicissitudes.

"This is the ancient Gaoshan City." Lu Yong's voice was filled with awe. "It witnessed the prosperity of the ancient Gaochang area and was also an important node on the Silk Road. Imagine how lively it was thousands of years ago with merchants gathering here and the sound of camel bells."

Hannah stared wide-eyed and looked around, as if she could really see those historical scenes reappearing before her eyes. She held Lu Yong's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would get lost in this ocean of history.

The two strolled along the ancient streets. The stone pavement under their feet had been worn smooth as a mirror after thousands of years of trampling. Although the buildings on both sides were dilapidated, they still vaguely showed the style of the past. Lu Yong pointed to a dilapidated tower and told Hannah that it was an ancient watchtower that once guarded the peace of the city.

"Do you know? There is a beautiful legend circulating here." Lu Yong smiled mysteriously, attracting Hannah's attention. "Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a beautiful princess who fell in love with a merchant from afar. However, their love was opposed by the king. In order to protect this love, the princess decided to elope with the merchant. It was in a corner of this ancient city that they made an eternal vow."

Hannah listened with fascination, her eyes sparkling with longing. She seemed to be able to see the lovers hugging each other in the moonlight, and feel their love that transcended time and space.

Continuing forward, the two came to a site. This used to be an ancient market, but now only some broken walls and pottery fragments are left. But even so, Lu Yong can still feel the prosperity and bustle of the market from these relics. He picked up a piece of debris and gently stroked the lines on it, as if he could touch that distant history.

"Look at this." Lu Yong handed the fragment to Hannah, "This is a fragment of ancient pottery. The pattern on it is called 'lotus pattern', which is a symbol of Buddhist culture. This shows that the Gaochang area at that time had been influenced by Buddhist culture."

Hannah took the fragment and carefully examined the patterns on it, with surprise in her eyes. She suddenly realized that what she was holding in her hand was not just a fragment, but also a witness to a piece of history.

Just then, a tour group passed by them. The tour guide was vividly explaining the history and culture of the ancient city. Lu Yong and Hannah stopped and listened carefully.

The guide's words seemed to have a kind of magic, bringing them into one historical scene after another. They seemed to see the ancient craftsmen working hard, hear the voices of merchants shouting, and feel the bustle and noise of that era.

After listening to the guide's explanation, Hannah sighed with regret: "It would be great if we could wear ancient costumes and take photos here as a souvenir."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "You are such a romantic guy. But I happen to know a place where you can rent ancient costumes. Let's go and give it a try."

So, the two came to a rental point. Hannah picked out a set of clothes from the Western Han Dynasty, and after putting them on, she seemed to have really turned into an ancient lady. Lu Yong also changed into a corresponding set of men's clothes, and the two smiled at each other, as if they had really traveled back a thousand years.

They left their footprints in every corner of the ancient city, either looking into the distance from the city wall, or leaning against each other at the street corner, or imitating the appearance of ancient merchants in front of the market ruins... Every photo captured their happy moments and recorded this unforgettable journey.

As they were filming, they came to a more remote corner. There was an ancient well platform with clear and deep water. Hannah suddenly had an idea to try to draw some water from the well. She carefully put down the bucket and shook the well rope vigorously. Lu Yong smiled and watched her busy work, occasionally reaching out to steady the shaking well rope.

Finally, the bucket was filled with well water. Hannah excitedly lifted the bucket and wanted to taste the water from this thousand-year-old well. She scooped up a handful of water, took a sip, and then showed a surprised expression: "Wow, so sweet!"

Lu Yong also tasted it. Indeed, the well water was sweeter than any water they usually drank. He smiled and looked at Hannah: "This well water seems to have the taste of history. One sip can make you feel the vicissitudes of thousands of years."

Hannah nodded, her eyes sparkling with emotion. She suddenly turned around and hugged Lu Yong tightly: "Thank you for bringing me here and letting me experience the history and culture of so many years. At this moment, I feel like I have really traveled through time and space to witness this history with you."

Lu Yong hugged her back tightly, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. He knew that Hannah was so beautiful and moving at this moment, and it was all because he brought her to this magical place.

However, just as the two were immersed in happiness, a sudden gust of wind broke the tranquility. The sky suddenly became gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if a heavy rain was about to come. Lu Yong reacted quickly and pulled Hannah to run to a place to shelter from the rain.

They ran to an old pavilion, and just as they stood there, heavy rain began to pour down. Raindrops hit the top of the pavilion, making crackling sounds. Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other. The rain came so suddenly, but so timely. It added a touch of unpredictability to their journey and deepened their relationship.

While waiting for the rain to stop in the pavilion, Lu Yong and Hannah talked about many things. They talked about their past and future, and talked about each other's dreams and pursuits. Lu Yong found that he really liked the feeling of being with Hannah. She always brought him laughter and surprises, and made him feel the beauty and colorfulness of life.

Hannah also told Lu Yong that she really liked the feeling of being protected and cared for. With Lu Yong by her side, she could do whatever she wanted without worrying about any consequences. She knew that no matter what happened, Lu Yong would be there for her.

The rain finally stopped and the sun showed its smiling face again. Lu Yong and Hannah walked out of the pavilion and continued their journey to the ancient city. Although their clothes were wet by the rain, they were in a happier and more excited mood.

In the following time, they visited more sites and attractions. Every time they arrived at a place, Lu Yong would tell Hannah about the relevant history and cultural background. Hannah also listened with great interest, and asked her own questions and opinions from time to time. The communication between the two became more and more in-depth, as if they had really traveled back to that distant era.

As the sun sets and the sky is stained with a gorgeous sunset glow, Lu Yong and Hannah finally end their trip to the ancient city. Standing at the city gate, they look back at this ancient city that carries thousands of years of history and culture, their hearts filled with emotion and reluctance. They know that this trip is not just a simple tour, but also a spiritual baptism and historical exploration. "Thank you, Lu." Hannah held Lu Yong's hand tightly, "It is you who made me feel the history and culture of so many years, and made me cherish the time with you even more."

Lu Yong looked at her with a smile: "Actually, I want to thank you too, Hannah. It's you who made my trip more meaningful and memorable. I hope we can keep going like this and explore more unknown worlds together."

The two smiled at each other and walked out of the ancient city hand in hand. Their figures gradually faded away in the afterglow of the setting sun, but their story will forever remain in this ancient city that carries thousands of years of history and culture.

And this journey will become one of the most precious memories of their lives and will be forever engraved in their hearts.

On the second morning, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry.

Lu Yong and his girlfriend Hannah drove to another shining pearl of Turpan - Jiaohe Ancient City.

This is an ancient city with a rich history and unique culture. Its reputation has long spread far and wide, attracting tourists from all over the world to explore.

Jiaohe Ancient City, the world's largest, oldest and best-preserved adobe city, lies quietly in the embrace of Turpan, telling the vicissitudes of more than 2,000 years. It has witnessed the prosperity and decline of the Silk Road, and also carried the joys and sorrows of countless stories in the Western Regions. Lu Yong and Hannah stepped into this ancient land, as if they had traveled through a tunnel of time and space and returned to that distant era.

The two walked hand in hand on the streets of the ancient city, and the land under their feet seemed to tell the story of history. The architectural layout of Jiaohe Ancient City is unique, influenced by the traditional urban architectural regulations of the Central Plains, and integrated with local characteristics. Those buildings dug out by the method of retaining walls in alkaline soil, and those temples, government offices, and city gates surrounded by raw earth walls, all make people marvel at the wisdom and creativity of the ancients.

"Look at this wall, it's so exquisitely crafted!" Hannah pointed to a raw earth wall beside her, her eyes flashing with amazement.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, these buildings are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients. Imagine, in that era without modern machinery, how they dug out such a huge city with their own hands."

The two walked and talked, immersed in the endless reverie of history. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted their thoughts. A girl staggered forward, her face pale, and seemed to be a little abnormal.

"Oh no, she might faint!" Lu Yong keenly noticed the abnormality and quickly stepped forward to support the girl.

Sure enough, the girl's body was shaky and she finally fell to the ground. Hannah also rushed forward to help, and the two of them helped the girl to a cool place nearby.

"She might be suffering from hypoglycemia." Hannah looked at the girl's symptoms and judged, "I have a bottle of unopened sugar water here, let her drink some."

Hannah quickly unscrewed the candy and let the girl drink a few sips. Lu Yong was not to be outdone, so he rummaged in his pocket and took out a piece of candy. He carefully fed the candy into the girl's mouth and let her hold it.

After a while, the girl's face gradually regained its rosy color, and she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Lu Yong and Hannah in front of her, she smiled with gratitude.

"Thank you, I'm really much better now." The girl's voice was still a little weak, but she was able to express her gratitude clearly.

At this time, a middle-aged couple ran over in a hurry. They were the girl's parents. Seeing that their daughter was safe, they finally felt relieved. They thanked Lu Yong and Hannah repeatedly, and their gratitude was beyond words.

"It's okay, this is what we should do." Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, feeling satisfied. They knew that at this moment, they were not only touring the ancient city, but also conveying the warmth and kindness of the world.

After bidding farewell to the girl's family, Lu Yong and Hannah continued their journey to the ancient city. This episode did not disrupt their plans, but made their journey more meaningful. They knew that in this place full of history, every moment could become an eternal memory.

As they explored further, the charm of Jiaohe Ancient City gradually emerged before their eyes. Those long and deep streets and alleys seemed like time tunnels, leading them back to that glorious era. The alleys were winding and twisting, like trenches, which made people imagine the wars and heroic spirit of those years.

"This is really a treasure trove!" Hannah exclaimed. "Every corner hides historical secrets that make people want to explore."

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is the charm of Jiaohe Ancient City. It is not just a city, but also a living history textbook."

The two walked and talked, stopping from time to time to carefully admire the ancient buildings and cultural relics. They seemed to be able to hear the echoes of history, whispering in every corner. The broken walls, mottled stone tablets, and ancient pottery jars all told stories of the past.

Suddenly, a strange scene attracted their attention. In the ruins, there was a tenacious green plant growing. Although its branches and leaves were not lush, they looked particularly dazzling in this desolate land.

"Look at this green plant, it has such strong vitality!" Hannah said with emotion, pointing at the green plant.

Lu Yong also sighed: "Yes, it is just like this ancient city. Although it has experienced countless storms and vicissitudes, it still stands here and witnesses the passage of time."

The two stood there quietly, gazing at the green plant and the surrounding ruins. At this moment, they seemed to have some kind of wonderful connection with this ancient city, and felt its tenacity and indomitable spirit. (End of this chapter)
