Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

After the waiter opened the wine for them, Yun Jixing had already taken dozens of photos of Yu Ru on his mobile phone. That was enough for the time being, so he put away his phone and sat back next to Yu Ru to drink with her.

The wine was champagne, which Yu Ru was not used to and did not like the taste. She took a sip and put it down. Instead, she picked up a small silver tube that the waiter had just handed to her and held it in front of Yun Jixing, asking him with her eyes what it was.

Yunjixing smiled and put down the wine glass in his hand, took the silver long tube, and introduced: "Aru, this thing is called hookah. We have it in our country. The kind in our country is the water pipe tobacco in Yunnan. This kind has a unique scientific name called Arabic hookah. It is part of the cultural life tradition of Arab countries and Islam. It is also popularized by Arabs for 500 years. If I remember correctly, it originated in India 800 years ago, and then became popular in Persia. In the Middle East, um... especially Turkey and Persia during the Ottoman Empire, this thing is also regarded as "dancing princess and snake"."

After a pause, he continued: "It is made of coconut and diabolo tubes. There are many flavors of water pipes, just like beverages, there are fruit flavors, herbal flavors and mixed flavors. Some people want to make money, so they say it is a healthy pastime, contains very little nicotine and is not addictive, but this thing is more harmful than ordinary tobacco. Try not to smoke it if you can. Most people who smoke it will die early. But..."

Yun Jixing took Yu Ru's hand and put the hookah back in her hand, "Aru, you have never smoked this thing before, you can try it, just one puff, don't smoke more."

Yu Ru nodded.

She grabbed the hookah, put it in front of her nose and smelled it carefully, then put it in her mouth and inhaled. Yun Jixing took the opportunity to take pictures.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ru, who hated tobacco, seemed to have a talent for smoking. It was her first time to smoke hookah, and after taking a puff, she spit out the smoke. There was a lot of smoke, and her head was surrounded by it. Her head with three thousand black hair tied into a bun and her beautiful face were looming in the smoke, just like the green mountains shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance.

In this case, she wasn't choked at all.

Yun Jixing hugged her and laughed happily, "Aru, you are really a genius. You are talented in everything you do. I have also smoked this, and I choked badly the first time I smoked it. I coughed for a long time. You smoked it so smoothly the first time."

Yu Ru looked at him, holding the water pipe and showing a shy smile.

Yun Jixing suddenly leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead, and at the same time took the hookah from her hand and said, "Little genius, let me try again."

He just started smoking the cigarette that Yu Ru had just taken a puff of.

He was fine when he was inhaling, but the moment he exhaled, he began to cough violently. Yu Ru quickly used her hands as a fan to fan him around and disperse the smoke.

Yun Jixing coughed while looking at Yu Ru and said with a smile, "It seems that I... cough cough cough... still... can't do it anymore... cough cough cough..."

Turning around, I looked at the four bodyguards sitting not far away: Yan Zi, Xiao Niu, Sister Ping, and Sister Ju. They were also trying to smoke hookah, but none of them could smoke normally. They all covered their mouths and tried to cough as quietly as possible.

"Oh my God, what are you doing? It's too rough and so bitter." Xiao Niu said bitterly.

"Mine is quite sweet, and it seems to taste like peach, but it's quite strong, cough cough cough..." said Sister Ping.

"This just tastes like lemon. I hate lemons the most. Eating them makes me look like a melon. Why am I so unlucky..." said Yan Zi.

……

After drinking the aperitif, the night quietly fell, and the dark blue sky was soaked with a few blood-red rays, which were the last rays of the setting sun, but soon they disappeared into the darkness of the sky. It was also at this time that the group went to an Arabic buffet restaurant together.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you can smell the freshness of fruits and the aroma of meat lingering in the air. The place was packed and very lively. However, the manager of the restaurant knew Yunjixing and arranged a very front seat for them to watch the performance.

The appetizers were some Middle Eastern-style naan and fruit salad. Yu Ru carefully observed each appetizer, then took a fork and ate a few bites of fruit. The fruit salad looked good and sweet, but it tasted salty. She didn't like things that should be sweet to be salty, so she stopped eating after one bite and grabbed a piece of naan and put it to her mouth to chew.

To be honest, she had a yearning for this white, yellow, round and plump naan, because it was big enough, looked easy to fill the stomach, and looked good, which could stimulate her appetite.

The taste of the naan in this restaurant is as good as its appearance, because it is freshly baked and tastes very fragrant and fresh.

Yun Jixing didn't eat, he was watching Yu Ru eat.

Seeing Yu Ru holding the big naan in her hand and taking bite after bite, he hurriedly stopped her and snatched the naan from her.

"Aru, don't eat yet. We will only roast whole lamb and steak later. You are full now, so you won't be able to eat meat later. Our staple food is still meat. If you are healthy, you can eat anything, but in your current condition, you still have to eat meat as the main meal."

Yu Ru looked at the naan with some reluctance and nodded.

Their dishes were ready and the show in the restaurant officially began.

The first performance was a multi-person dance, accompanied by exotic music, with men and women singing and dancing on the stage. The women's blue and red costumes were elegant and beautiful, and they formed a flower when they turned around. The men's costumes were also luxurious and eye-catching. As someone who often designs her own clothes, Yu Ru unconsciously looked at the design features of their clothes.

And Yun Jixing couldn't help but look at Yu Ru.

He and Yu Ru had been to this place in his previous life. After having dinner in this restaurant, something romantic happened between them.

There was a belly dancing performance in the restaurant. After watching it, Yu Ru couldn't wait to imitate the dancer and twist her body in front of him when she returned to the hotel.

"Hey, hey, hey... Look at me, look at me, little star, how is it? Am I dancing well? Are you charmed by it?" Yu Ru asked, shaking her head left and right.

"Aru, this is Xinjiang dance, right?"

"Yes, yes, look, my stomach is moving."

Yu Ru lifted a corner of her clothes to reveal her belly, and tried to push it up to make it vibrate. However, it takes time to master belly dancing. Her belly didn't move at all. She was just swaying like a tumbler that had been pushed over.

Seeing that she was being stubborn, Yun Jixing just smiled and said nothing. He walked up to her and gently tickled her belly. She immediately broke down, fell on the bed and started to act like a spoiled child again.

Then somehow they ended up discussing other dances and ended up dancing hand in hand.

He would always remember that day, they were clinging to each other, fingers interlocked, foreheads touching, slowly turning around the room and dancing ballroom dance, and then dancing other messy dances, endlessly, until their legs were sore. Then, they started kissing, both of them kissed so hard that they almost deprived each other of breathing.

Yu Ru was watching the performance, but she knew Yun Jixing was looking at her. After being stared at by him for more than five minutes, she finally couldn't stand it anymore. She turned her head to look at him, held his face with both hands, and forced his head to face the stage.

Yun Jixing laughed softly a few times, stopped looking at her, and started watching the performance.

After the dance, a group of camels and galloping horses came out from nowhere. The rumbling of horse hooves and camel footsteps fell on the floor, making the earth emit a deep and heavy sound like a soundboard. Because there were so many horses and camels, the sound of their hooves sprinkled on the stage like a torrential rain.

They were just running and shouting. Yu Ru didn't quite understand what they were doing, so she gently pulled Yun Jixing's sleeve and asked him using sign language.

[What are they performing? Is it how nomadic people herd their livestock?]

"Yes, it's a little hard to understand, right? I don't understand it either." Yun Jixing smiled, "It is said that this can be understood as a historical stage play. The people leading the camels are the merchants wandering in the desert, and the people riding horses are demonstrating how nomadic people live."

Yu Ru nodded and continued to watch the performance attentively.

After a delicious meal in the buffet restaurant, it was getting late, so everyone took a helicopter back to the hotel to rest.

During this trip, Yun Jixing and Yu Ru stayed in the same room.

Back in their room, Yun Jixing took Yu Ru's hand and walked into the room, asking: "Aru, how do you feel today? Is the food okay?"

Yu Ru nodded.

"That's good, Aru. If possible, I would like to take you to eat all over the world."

Yu Ru paused, walked forward and hugged him.

Today is a wonderful day. Many things are new to Yu Ru. It is her first time to experience them. Although she does not show it on her face, she is indeed happy in her heart.

This joy lasted until the next day, then disappeared. Yun Jixing seemed determined to make her overcome her fear of heights and become a pilot. The next day, he took her to high places, such as a high-altitude restaurant, a high-altitude slide, and a high-altitude infinity pool. He even made her sign a life-and-death agreement to eat in the sky...

In addition, this day happened to be the birthday of a rich friend of Yunjixing in Dubai. In order to seek excitement, the rich man tried some high-altitude projects, and as a friend, he naturally accompanied him.

This was the first time that Yu Ru truly felt that Yun Jixing was sick and wanted to lose her temper with him and scold and beat him.
