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

As the sun gradually rose, the temperature in the ancient city also began to rise. Lu Yong and Hannah found a cool place to rest and tasted the local delicacies. Grilled lamb kebabs, hand-pulled rice, naan bread... these authentic Turpan delicacies greatly satisfied their taste buds.

"The lamb kebabs here are so delicious!" Hannah praised as she ate. "The meat is tender and juicy, and grilled to perfection."

Lu Yong also smiled and nodded: "Yes, the food here is indeed well-deserved. Next time we come to Turpan, we must try more of these authentic foods."

The two ate and talked, enjoying this rare leisure time. They knew that this trip was not only for sightseeing and tasting food, but also for enhancing their feelings and understanding of each other. In this ancient city of Jiaohe, they left their common footprints and memories.

After lunch, Lu Yong and Hannah decided to continue exploring every corner of the ancient city. They walked along a deep alley, and the buildings on both sides seemed to tell stories of the past. Suddenly, an ancient pottery jar attracted their attention. It lay quietly in the corner, its surface covered with thick dust and traces of time.

"Look at this pottery jar, it seems to be quite old." Lu Yong said, pointing at the pottery jar.

Hannah also came over curiously: "Yeah, I wonder what it once held? Did it also witness the glory and decline of this ancient city?"

The two carefully picked up the pottery jar and looked at the patterns and patterns on it. Although they could not determine the specific age and purpose of the pottery jar, it made them feel the mystery and charm of this ancient city even more.

Just as they were immersed in their study of the pottery jar, a melodious sound of a zither suddenly rang out. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man in ancient costume sitting on a stone not far away, playing the zither leisurely.

The sound of the piano was melodious and profound, as if it could penetrate the barriers of time and space and reach the depths of people's hearts. Lu Yong and Hannah were deeply attracted by the beautiful piano sound and walked over involuntarily.

"Old sir, your piano playing is so beautiful." Lu Yong couldn't help but admire.

The old man smiled and raised his head: "Thank you for the compliment. The sound of my piano has gone through countless years with this ancient city."

As he spoke, the old man continued to play. Lu Yong and Hannah sat quietly beside him, listening as if they could hear the history and stories of the ancient city from the music. They knew that this trip was not just a simple tour, but also a spiritual baptism and historical exploration. In this ancient city of Jiaohe, they found their own stories and memories.

As the sun sets, Lu Yong and Hannah's trip to Jiaohe Ancient City is coming to an end. Standing on the wall of the ancient city, they look back at this city with rich history and culture, feeling full of emotion and reluctance.

"This ancient city really gave us so many surprises and touched us." Hannah said with emotion, "I hope I can have the opportunity to come here again in the future and continue to explore those unsolved mysteries."

Lu Yong held her hand tightly and said, "I will. As long as we have this ancient city in our hearts, it will accompany us wherever we go."

On the second morning, when the first rays of morning light tried to penetrate the thick clouds, Lu Yong and Hannah were intoxicated with dreams in their warm beds. However, the weather was not good, and the drizzle fell silently on the ground, covering this strange city with a hazy veil.

The two woke up almost at the same time, smiled at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes but also a bit of tacit understanding. They knew that plans to go out on rainy days were always full of variables, so it was better to follow God's will and enjoy this rare tranquility and comfort.

"It seems that we have to be 'homebodies' today." Lu Yong stretched lazily, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Hannah leaned lazily against the head of the bed and smiled, "That's exactly what I want. Rainy days should be for movies and delicious food."

They left as soon as they said they would. They picked up their phones and called the hotel restaurant. Soon, a hearty breakfast was delivered to the room. The steaming porridge, the fragrant buns, and a few exquisite side dishes made people salivate.

Before the food was served, the two washed up briefly, as if preparing for the next "stay-at-home" life. When the food filled the table, they couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and taste the warmth of the rainy day.

"Well, this porridge is really good." Lu Yong praised while eating.

Hannah was not to be outdone: "Yeah, these buns are delicious too. I think we chose the right hotel this time."

After dinner, the two of them nestled in the soft sofa and turned on the TV. Lu Yong suddenly had an idea and decided to take Hannah to revisit a classic comedy, "Justice, My Foot." As the plot unfolded, Stephen Chow's nonsensical performance made the two of them burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, this part is so funny!" Hannah laughed so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.

Lu Yong also laughed so hard that tears came out: "Yes, Stephen Chow's movies are classics. I still find them funny no matter how many times I watch them."

In the laughter, the relationship between the two seemed to become closer. They played with each other from time to time, imitated the plots in the movie, and enjoyed this rare relaxation and happiness.

After watching the movie, the two were still excited. Lu Yong suggested, "How about we play something else? For example... Pro Evolution Soccer?"

Hannah's eyes lit up. "Great! I don't know much about football, but it should be interesting."

So, they turned on the game console and chose the game of Pro Evolution Soccer. On the screen, the two teams were ready to start a fierce competition.

Although Lu Yong doesn't pay much attention to football, he shows amazing talent in the game. He manipulates the team, flexibly shuttles around the field, and looks for offensive opportunities. Hannah seems a little clumsy, but she is not discouraged, but instead devotes herself to the game more seriously.

"Haha, look at you, you kicked it off again!" Lu Yong teased with a smile.

Hannah pouted and said unconvincedly, "Don't be so proud! I will beat you sooner or later!"

In this way, the two started a fierce competition in the game. Although Lu Yong won the game in the end, Hannah laughed happier than ever. She knew that the meaning of this game was not winning or losing, but the happy time they spent together.

In the afternoon, the rain gradually subsided and stopped. The two decided to take advantage of this opportunity to order some takeout to reward themselves. Soon, the food was delivered to the room. While tasting the delicious food, they chatted and enjoyed this rare tranquility and comfort.

"Where should we go tomorrow?" Hannah suddenly asked. Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to that famous lake? I heard there are a lot of sights and snacks there."

Hannah nodded. "Sure! I want to see the lake, too."

The two happily decided on the itinerary for tomorrow. After dinner, they decided to take a stroll on the streets near the hotel to help digest the food. The air after the rain was particularly fresh, and there were not many people on the streets, making it particularly quiet. They walked hand in hand on the streets, enjoying this rare leisure and freedom.

"Actually, this is pretty good." Hannah said softly, "Sometimes, traveling doesn't have to cover every corner. Staying quietly in one place like this and enjoying the present moment is also a good experience."

Lu Yong held her hand tightly: "Yes, with you by my side, wherever I go is the best scenery."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectations and longing for the future. After strolling for a while, they returned to the hotel. Lu Yong suggested: "How about we play the game again? This time it's your turn to choose."

Hannah's eyes lit up. "Okay! Then let's play... It Takes Two! I heard that game is very suitable for couples to play together."

So, the two turned on the game console again and started a new round of game journey. This time the game tested their tacit understanding and cooperation even more. Sometimes they cheered and sometimes they held their breath nervously, as if they were really in that fantasy game world.

Time passed quietly. When night fell, the two had already had a great time. They knew that although today's travel plan had been changed due to the rain, this unexpected gain made them cherish each other's company and joy even more.

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Lu Yong checked the time. "We have to get up early tomorrow to go to the ancient town."

Hannah nodded: "Okay, let's go to bed early."

The two turned off the game console and lay on the bed. The moonlight from the window came in through the curtains, adding a bit of warmth and romance to the room. They smiled at each other and hugged each other tightly. In this rainy night, they found their own happiness and warmth.

"Good night." Lu Yong said softly.

"Good night." Hannah responded, her voice full of tenderness and attachment.

The two fell into a deep sleep, as if they were accumulating strength and courage for tomorrow's journey. In this journey full of unknowns and expectations, they knew that as long as they had each other by their side, no matter what difficulties and challenges they encountered, they would be able to work together and move forward courageously.

When the first rays of morning sun penetrated the curtains and gently brushed across Lu Yong and Hannah's faces, they opened their eyes almost at the same time. The sky outside the window was as blue as a mirror, without a single cloud, as if it was a perfect picture specially prepared by nature for their trip.

"Wow, the weather is so nice today!" Hannah stretched, her face filled with anticipation and excitement.

Lu Yong looked at her with a smile, his eyes flickering with tenderness: "Yes, it seems that we can enjoy the Aydingkol Lake to our heart's content today."

Aidin Lake, a well-known inland saltwater lake, has attracted countless tourists with its unique geographical location and extreme climatic conditions. Today, Lu Yong and Hannah will also set foot on this mysterious land to experience the magnificence and vitality in the desolate land.

The two quickly packed their bags and drove to Ayding Lake. Along the way, the scenery outside the car window kept switching like a movie scene, gradually transitioning from a bustling city to a barren Gobi Desert. Lu Yong and Hannah became more and more excited as the scenery changed.

Finally, they arrived at Aydingkol Lake. Standing by the lake, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. The climate in the lake area is extremely dry, with very little rainfall throughout the year, making the climate here dry and low in humidity. This extreme climatic condition has created the unique landscape of Aydingkol Lake - desolate and magnificent.

"It's so beautiful here!" Hannah couldn't help but sigh, "Although it's desolate, it has a unique charm."

Lu Yong nodded and took a deep breath of fresh air: "Yes, this place is like a primitive painting, making people feel like they are in another world."

The two walked hand in hand in the lake area, with the unique development of the earth's crust and rock crust under their feet. They seemed to have walked into a mysterious geological museum, discovering new surprises with every step. The endless Gobi Desert on the south bank of Aidin Lake made them feel the vastness and magnificence of nature.

"Look over there!" Hannah pointed to a stretch of desert in the distance and said, "Are those ancient wells?"

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw rows of ancient wells scattered across the Gobi Desert. These wells have gone through vicissitudes of life but are still standing, like witnesses of history, telling the past and present of this land.

"Yes, those are the ancient wells," Lu Yong explained. "They bear witness to the changes of this land and are part of the unique culture here."

The two continued walking and came to an area on the north side of the road. This area is completely different from the Gobi Desert on the south bank. Desert plants such as camel thorn and red willow are lush and green, bringing a touch of vitality to this barren land. These plants grow tenaciously under extreme climatic conditions, demonstrating the vitality and perseverance of nature.

"These plants are so tenacious!" Hannah exclaimed, "They can still grow so lushly in such an environment."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, this is the charm of nature. No matter how harsh the environment is, life can always find its own way to survive."

During the tour, the staff reminded them to take precautions against heat stroke and to be safe. The lake area is extremely dry and the direct sunlight makes people feel scorching. There are many beaches and sand dunes around the lake area, and the roads are complicated and difficult to walk. However, Lu Yong and Hannah did not back off, but became more excited.

"What do you think? Do you want to explore those difficult places?" Lu Yong looked at Hannah, with a challenging gleam in his eyes.

Hannah nodded without hesitation: "Of course we will go! We are here to explore!"

So, the two set out on the challenging road. They crossed the sand dunes and went around the beach, and every step was full of unknowns and surprises. Although the road was difficult, they were in an extremely happy mood.

Because they know that every challenge is a transcendence of self and a precious memory of their shared experiences. (End of this chapter)
