Chapter 285: A quick glance
Xu Chen wore a light gray T-shirt and light-colored sports pants today.
As if to match Xu Chen's outfit, Xie Bingran also picked a light gray training suit and the same light-colored sports trousers.
Xu Chen sat on the edge of the bed, admiring Brother Bing's long legs and couldn't help but shake his head.
"What's wrong?" Xie Bingran asked.
"You ran for the championship today, your legs must be very sore, right?...
Do you want me to give you a massage tonight? ”
Xie Bingran: "..."
……
I only stayed in Osaka in the afternoon and evening.
Xu Chen decided to take Xie Bingran out for a walk. It was a rare trip to Kansai.
Tomorrow morning, Xie Bingran still has national team activities to attend, and will fly out in the afternoon.
The original itinerary was that Xie Bingran, Bai Miao, Dong Jiajia and two other team members who would mainly train in Shanghai in the future would fly directly to Shanghai tomorrow afternoon and quickly settle in at the Xinzhuang training base.
But just now Xie Bingran received a call from coach Cheng Hong. Because the "noise" caused by her championship was too great, an extremely important leadership meeting and celebration event was arranged in the capital.
This celebration was nominally held for the "track and field team."
But everyone knows that it is actually only for Brother Bing.
Xie Bingran was still somewhat resistant to not being able to arrive in Shanghai with Xu Chen.
Fortunately, we only stayed in the capital for two days. After participating in the activities, we could move to Shanghai with the team.
Xu Chen also coaxed her. After all, the event in the capital was held for her, not to mention that there were also some high-level leaders that Xu Chen could not imagine attending...
……
The two of them came out of the lobby, first stopped a car and went to Xu Chen's hotel, and checked out the room there.
Fortunately, the time did not exceed too much, and no additional room charges were deducted.
The luggage was just a carry-on backpack, so Xu Chen carried it on his back.
After the two of them left the hotel, they hailed a taxi and drove towards "Osaka Castle Park".
"Tenshou Pavilion" is still a must-see attraction.
Xie Bingran didn't have much self-consciousness about where she was going, but as long as she followed Xu Chen, she would be obedient and happy.
……
Osaka Castle Park.
You can see the black statue of Toyotomi Hideyoshi standing at the door.
This one of the "Three Heroes of the Warring States Period" ended the war in Japan and achieved unification in the name of "people of the world".
After passing through the moat and city wall, you looked up and saw Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "Tenshou Tower".
White walls, green roof tiles.
On the flying eaves, there are gold foil decorations of tiger and dragon fish heads.
Xu Chen still acted as a tour guide and told Xie Bingran some trivial fragments in the long history.
About the One Night Castle and the Castle Tower, the man who was born as a low-level peasant and eventually became a "man of the world"...
Xie Bingran held Xu Chen's hand and whispered:
"You know a lot..."
Xu Chen smiled:
“I want to thank Sister Wu Yue, she printed out many travel guides for me!”
Of course, in addition to the travel information Wu Yue gave him at that time, Xu Chen's understanding of Japan's Warring States period also came from playing "Warring States Warriors" all night long in his previous life.
When I was playing games when I was a child, I still had some grand imagination about Japan's "Warring States Period".
But when I grew up and read some historical materials that were either true or false, I felt that the "Warring States" in this tiny place might be like a "fighting" between several towns.
Compared with the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty in my great country, they are not at the same level and power system at all.
Of course, this still has some national "prejudice" attached to it.
But "prejudice" is the underlying logic of all history books.
……
The park is actually not big. Apart from the "Tenshu Pavilion", it is an empty park.
The castle tower was destroyed many times in historical wars, and what we see now is also rebuilt by later generations.
Entering the interior, there are actually not many historical monuments. It is more like a modern exhibition hall, and there are even some 3D dynamic displays with a technological atmosphere.
The style is exquisite and the sense of interaction is strong. In addition to being understood as historical materials or stories, it also has some aesthetic points. The two of them held hands and "went around", not really getting too involved. After all, they just wanted to have a relaxed and casual tour.
Once you reach the "observation deck" on the eighth floor, you can overlook Osaka Castle again.
The "Tenshu Pavilion" was originally regarded as a "military castle building" and naturally had military functions of observation and command.
The "observation deck" here was used to watch invading enemies in the past, but now it is a purely pleasant place for viewing, and it also has a huge contrast that tears apart time and space.
Xie Bingran was half-lying on the railing, looking at the street scene in the distance.
The gentle wind ruffled the short hair on her forehead.
Xu Chen turned to look at her and found that her big crystal clear eyes reflected the bright light of the city.
Xie Bingran said softly:
"Xu Chen... Actually every time I'm with you, I feel so unreal, like I'm dreaming!"
Xu Chen didn't say anything, but put his arms around her waist.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She leaned over here and rested her head on Xu Chen's shoulder.
……
……
After wandering out of Osaka Castle Park City, Xu Chen stopped another car.
He took out the map in his hand and pointed at the driver.
The old man understood instantly, nodded vigorously, then pulled on the handbrake and lightly stepped on the accelerator, driving towards "Dotonbori".
……
"Dotonbori" is considered the most prosperous and distinctive commercial street in Osaka City.
Along a narrow canal, there are neon shops on both sides, which are dazzling to see.
The two of them stood on the bustling street. Xu Chen raised his finger and pointed at a huge sign opposite.
"That silly man is actually a landmark of Osaka."
Xie Bingran frowned, also looking confused.
It was a huge store sign for "Glico". The picture showed a runner crossing the finish line with his hands raised.
Xu Chen couldn't understand why such a sign would become a famous symbol of Osaka.
"Shinsaibashi" is a light-transmitting corridor of only 600 meters, but it is also the most prosperous and famous section of road in Osaka.
Xu Chen held Xie Bingran's hand and walked around aimlessly.
Xie Bingran thought for a while and said, "I have to buy something for Uncle Xu!"
Xu Chen smiled: "How about I help you with this matter?"
Xie Bingran: "No, I want to buy it myself!"
She thought for a while: "I still have to buy a few cigarettes and send them to Li Rui and the others."
Xu Chen thought for a moment and said:
"Then I suggest that when you leave, it is more convenient to buy it directly at the duty-free shop at Kansai Airport."
Xie Bingran: "What about a gift for your dad?"
Xu Chen: “I also bought it there.”
He thought again: "My dad actually likes to drink some wine. Just listen to me and find a better bottle of sake in the duty-free shop when you leave."
Xie Bingran thought for a while and seemed to be still hesitating.
Xu Chen said with a smile: "I also want to bring gifts to Sister Fang Jun and Wu Yue. I was planning to buy them at the airport duty-free shop. Now I am too tired to carry them."
Naturally, this is also some experience from traveling overseas in my previous life. In fact, most of my shopping needs can be solved in duty-free shops.
He lowered his head and looked at Brother Bing's hand:
"Now that I've bought something, I won't be able to hold your hand!"
Xie Bingran lowered his head and looked at the two hands stuck together. This reason seemed very convincing.
……
The two came to a dessert shop to buy "matcha ice cream", but they saw two familiar people in the shop.
It was Nie Fei and Wu Feifei.
Wu Feifei smiled and said: "I didn't expect that we bumped into each other!"
When Xu Chen saw Nie Fei, he was thinking that there seemed to be something related to "Burning Ice Sports" that he could take advantage of this opportunity to do.
