Chapter 688: It’s a RV, Not a Luxury Single Room! (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As Zhou Chao glimpsed Jiang Li’s smile, radiant from within, a smile also crept onto his lips.
After lunch, Zhou Chao packed up a few things and briefed Aunt Kuang, letting her and the others take a few days off to rest.
The trio embarked on their first RV trip.
Initially undecided on their destination, after some discussion, they settled on Beidaihe as their first stop.
Setting out from Jingdu, a journey of approximately 285 kilometers, taking about three to four hours by car.
Despite their RV weighing a hefty twenty tons, it didn’t feel sluggish at all. With a maximum speed of 149 kilometers per hour, it still cruised swiftly on the highway!
After about three and a half hours of driving, they finally arrived at Beidaihe!
After circling a few times, they found a spacious RV campsite in a park near the beach. Due to the late autumn season, there weren’t many tourists around.
“Boss, could you two please step down first? I’ll perform a little magic trick for you!”
“Sure, we look forward to your performance!” Zhou Chao replied with a smile.
The two then stepped down from the RV and stood nearby, watching Lin Wu’s actions.
“Brother Chao, what magic trick is Wu planning to perform?” Jiang Li asked curiously.
“I don’t know. He’s been teasing me about the high-tech features of this RV, so it seems he’s preparing to show us!”
Just as Zhou Chao finished speaking, they saw the sides of the RV slowly extending outward, while a humming sound came from the roof.
After waiting for about five minutes, the sound ceased. At this moment, Lin Wu also walked down from the driver’s seat.
“Boss, come up and have a look!” Lin Wu said with an air of anticipation.
“Keeping it mysterious!” Zhou Chao rolled his eyes at him and then led Jiang Li towards the RV.
As soon as they stepped onto the RV, Zhou Chao felt a noticeable warmth inside, different from the air-conditioned warmth when they came. It felt more like underfloor heating.
The doubled space of the RV made the entire area look much more spacious.
“Now it really looks like a luxurious suite.” Jiang Li couldn’t help but sigh.
“Boss, there’s still something magical!” As soon as Lin Wu finished speaking, a wide staircase slowly descended from the ceiling of the RV!
“There’s more up there?” Zhou Chao looked up at the roof, surprised.
“Boss, you’ll see when you go up!”
Without further questions, Zhou Chao grabbed the staircase and quickly ascended. Jiang Li initially wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhou Chao.
If she accidentally slipped or fell, it would be a big problem.
Upon reaching the top, Zhou Chao was immediately astonished. There was actually a lounge area on the roof.
A long sofa paired with two separate armchairs and a sunshade, like a small pavilion.
Moreover, Zhou Chao also noticed that the shape of the roof resembled the bridge of his yacht, with protective measures on both sides and a fence-like guardrail at the front.
If it weren’t for being on land, one might think they were sitting on a yacht.
“It’s indeed quite nice!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but praise the RV, which, aside from its luxurious interior, had some fantastic features.
“Boss, you get what you pay for. This RV isn’t cheap. Its price overseas is 2.95 million pounds. Oh, and this RV even lights up at night!” Lin Wu added the last bit of information he knew.
“It looks like we’ll be staying here tonight!”
Zhou Chao glanced at the time; it was already almost 5 o’clock in the afternoon.
After admiring the view for a while longer, the two finally descended from the roof. Jiang Li, who had been impatiently waiting, quickly asked what was up there.
Zhou Chao didn’t hide anything and explained the situation on the roof in detail.
“I want to go up and play too!” Jiang Li also wanted to experience the feeling of sitting on the roof and enjoying the scenery.
“Sure, I’ll make sure your wish is fulfilled!” Zhou Chao smiled and pinched her nose.
“Yeah!”
Zhou Chao and Lin Wu began preparing dinner for the evening. Since neither of them was very familiar with the RV, it took them almost half an hour to figure everything out.
“I want to eat barbecue tonight!” Zhou Chao shouted towards the direction of the private bedroom.
“Skewers, grilled ribs, as long as it’s meat, I want to eat it!” Jiang Li’s little head popped out, and she even licked her lips a few times, indicating she had been craving it for a while.
Fortunately, the kitchen onboard was fully equipped. Zhou Chao and Lin Wu then divided the tasks. Zhou Chao, acting as both chef and boss, listed the ingredients and condiments they needed.
Poor Lin Wu ran back and forth, bringing the supplies he had prepared earlier to the kitchen.
After busy preparations, as Zhou Chao began cooking, the sky gradually darkened.
As time passed, the aroma slowly spread, enticing many passersby to sniff the air.
“Brother Chao, it smells so good! When can we eat?” Jiang Li, smelling the tempting aroma of the skewers, couldn’t hold back any longer, her head stretching out eagerly.
Even Lin Wu beside her couldn’t help but drool, and Zhou Chao could clearly hear his swallowing.
“Ah, I’m no match for you two!” Zhou Chao shook his head and handed three skewers to each of them.
As soon as they received them, they didn’t care about appearances and just started eating.
“Excuse me, sorry to bother you. Is this where you sell barbecue?” A voice came from the doorway.
Zhou Chao and the others were taken aback, all looking towards the direction of the door.
They saw a young man poking his head inside, looking in.
“Young man, do we look like barbecue vendors to you?” Lin Wu walked over briskly.
“Sorry, I saw a lot of dishes piled up on your table outside, plus these irresistibly fragrant skewers. I thought you were setting up a stall!” The young man said as he sniffed vigorously with his nose, as if trying to satisfy his craving.
After sniffing for several seconds, the young man turned and left without looking back, holding hands with a girl as they departed.
“Boss, it’s a pity you’re not setting up a stall!” Lin Wu stood at the door and suddenly remarked.
“Me, setting up a stall to sell barbecue? Should I grill while you eat?” Zhou Chao glanced at Lin Wu irritably.
While talking with Lin Wu, Zhou Chao completely failed to notice a delicate hand sneakily reaching out from behind him, quietly taking away several skewers from the grill.
Lin Wu was about to speak up when Jiang Li gave him a warning glance. Unfortunately, Zhou Chao caught Lin Wu’s change in expression, so he quickly turned around.
Their eyes met, and just as Jiang Li was about to feed Zhou Chao the skewer, she froze.
“Hehe, Brother Chao, your barbecue is really delicious!” After saying this, she hastily took a few bites, afraid Zhou Chao would ask her to put it back!
Zhou Chao couldn’t help but admire his own wife, but he didn’t say anything. After all, she was his wife.
Ready to speed up the progress, Lin Wu shamelessly ran over again. “Boss, can
I have a few…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Chao cut him off with a single word!
“Scram!”
“Alright!” Lin Wu, dejected, walked off the RV, ready to put the ingredients he had taken out back into the fridge.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Li burst into laughter.
Amidst the longing gazes of the two, Zhou Chao finally finished preparing dinner for the evening.
Lin Wu, who had been waiting eagerly for a long time, quickly retrieved the skewers, grilled ribs, and various meat dishes he had prepared earlier from the thermal box.
“Let’s eat!”
As soon as Zhou Chao spoke, almost half of the skewers on the table disappeared. Jiang Li and Lin Wu each held a dozen skewers in their hands.
Zhou Chao gave Lin Wu a meaningful look and reluctantly handed him half of what he had, despite Lin Wu’s protest.
“Hmm?” Zhou Chao didn’t retract his hand, giving Lin Wu another meaningful glance. Reluctantly, Lin Wu divided the skewers again, until he was left with less than 5 in his hand.
A table full of meat and vegetables, the three of them finished eating in less than twenty minutes!
After dinner, Zhou Chao took Jiang Li for a walk, leaving Lin Wu alone to clean up in the RV.
Walking along the scenic promenade by the sea, Jiang Li leaned against Zhou Chao’s embrace.
“Brother Chao, do you want to visit Grandpa tomorrow?”
“Visit Grandpa? What for?”
“Grandpa, he’s been staying at the sanatorium in Beidaihe!”
Only then did Zhou Chao remember that Old Master Xiao had come here last month.
“Sure, let’s visit him tomorrow!”
As the sea breeze blew, it added a touch of coolness to the air..
