Stone Manor is a resort destination located four hours' drive from City C. This area has frequent earthquakes, so the houses are very low. The manor has a hotel that can only accommodate a hundred vacationers, designed to resemble a Chinese quadrangle. A quadrangle just has four rooms, and the five of them booked a courtyard, each man taking one room, while Ouyang and Lu Xiaojiu shared a room.
Tian Yi had been wanting to find an opportunity to ask Lu Xiaojiu about the engagement, but Lu Xiaojiu had no intention of bringing up the topic, so he had to let it go. She seemed as usual, which reassured Tian Yi.
This season, vacationing is off-peak.
Winter here is quite long, with the mountains closing in mid-fall. Spring and summer are the peak vacation seasons, and now that summer was almost over, the flow of people was gradually decreasing, making it feel slightly deserted. The area is expansive, covered entirely by a dense forest.
