I Don't Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System Chapter 604 : Cultural Export
Su Qi departed from Shanghai at 11 AM on January 13th, flying to St. Petersburg.
Upon landing, she was surprised to see the clock showing 9 AM on January 13th, montarily thinking she'd ti-traveled. Noticing the ti zone, everything made sense. They were now in St. Petersburg, Sweden, naturally in a different ti zone from ho.
Following her little wife and in-laws, the four exited the airport. While waiting at baggage claim, they encountered many other travelers.
Xiao Xiaoxiao, clinging to Su Qi's slender arm, widened her bright eyes in wonder. "Sister Su, look at all the foreigners!" she exclaid, as if discovering a new world.
Masked and sunglassed, Su Qi found it quite novel too. Here, people with yellow skin were rare, with mostly black and white individuals around. The color contrast was striking.
Before Su Qi could respond, a fluent Northeastern Chinese accent caught her attention.
"Little girl, let tell you, you're the foreigners here, you know?" said a black man with dreadlocks.
If not for seeing him speak, Su Qi would have sworn he was from Northeast China, especially with his perfect intonation of "you know?"
Hearing Chinese from a foreigner's mouth delighted Su Qi. It proved her country's charm.
Incidentally, Chu Qin and Xiao Jinyu later enlightened Xiao Xiaoxiao about now being the foreigner.
After retrieving their luggage, they exited the airport. Su Qi switched her phone from airplane mode, with Xiao Xiaoxiao following suit.
Chu Qin, waiting in the taxi queue, found the two girls adorably naive.
At the airport's designated taxi area, the four attracted many glances as foreigners, with Su Qi drawing the most attention.
Despite her sunglasses and mask, Su Qi's shapely figure still marked her as a beauty, thanks to her latent city-toppling aura. People naturally gravitate towards beauty, especially during boring waits.
Su Qi felt slightly nervous under the foreign gazes, but her in-laws' presence provided so shield.
After a fifteen-minute wait, they finally boarded a taxi.
The driver, a young, chatty black man, enthusiastically introduced St. Petersburg in fluent English. Xiao Jinyu, in the front seat, inquired about local cuisine and customs.
Su Qi and Xiao Xiaoxiao, both high-IQ scholars, easily understood the conversation, though their own English might sound rather Sinicized.
The driver deduced their origin from Xiao Jinyu's accent. Before dropping them off, he proudly demonstrated Chinese phrases learned from Chinese teammates in VR Chat:
"I hope you have this attitude towards your life too. When people ask if you have a car, you say 'Ah yes yes yes.' When asked if you have a house, you also say 'Ah yes yes yes.'"
Su Qi marveled at netizens' ingenuity. Wasn't this a form of cultural export?
Half an hour later, they checked into their hotel and ventured into the city's bustling streets.
Unlike Chinese architecture, the city's buildings exuded a Western magical style. Each roof featured spire designs, and instead of the typical Chinese beige or white, most buildings were black, embodying a Rococo aesthetic. Su Qi, on her first foreign trip, found it all fascinating.
Beyond the architectural designs, what truly amazed Su Qi was an actual castle in the city. She had only seen castles in textbooks and never imagined they truly existed.
Noticing Su Qi and his daughter's awe at the castle, Xiao Jinyu explained, "Tomorrow's conference will be held there. We can tour it then, but for now, the guarded areas are off-limits."
Su Qi was surprised to learn the eting venue was this massive castle.
Xiao Xiaoxiao, still clinging to Su Qi's arm, was equally astonished by the castle's grandeur.
Excited about tomorrow's legitimate castle tour, the group soon shifted their attention to the bustling streets. Having crossed the Atlantic to a faraway land, it would be a waste not to explore.
When it cos to sightseeing, won's ideas tend to be more adventurous than n's. Chu Qin naturally took charge of the itinerary.
Having slept on the plane, they had conserved energy for exploration. Chu Qin grabbed her precious daughter with one hand and Su Qi with the other, embarking on a tour of various shopping malls.
Won's energy for shopping is truly mysterious. After two hours, even Su Qi, with her Physique of 6 points, felt noticeably tired.
Yet, her little wife, despite having only 3.6 Physique, remained energetic. Su Qi found it perplexing.
Could it be that girls don't consu stamina while shopping?
