Story - summarized
A landslide prevents the TV partners from getting their film equipment on time. Jiang Beixi insists on spending their downtime going over and over the schedule and script until everything was perfect. Vivian thinks they should just have a vacation. Beixi interprets this as her partner is tired, so she decides to take on all the work herself.
The next day, Beixi heads into town, searching for the perfect angles for the shots she originally had in mind. She's distracted by a vendor selling cute head pieces. The vendor tries to offer a piece as a gift, but Beixi dismisses the gesture and pays for the accessory.
Soon, it gets too hot, and she needs a break in the shade. A little boy approaches her, offering a pair of shoes his family made. She is grateful for the instant relief, but she still insists on paying. After all, she's here on business.
Beixi's next stop is an elderly lady's house who had already agreed to an interview. She isn't sure how to ask about local customs or growing up in town, and the conversation takes an awkward turn. But she still has to finish preparations.
Finally, she asks the old lady for spot recommendations. The elder gladly suggests a market, and Beixi heads over there - Vivian is there, too! They bump into each other at a stall selling bags. Beixi thought that Vivian would ignore the town on her vacation, but Vivian insists that the town has its own charm and they can still experience it, but as tourists, not academics.
For once, Jiang Beixi agrees. She puts her paperwork in the new bag and takes a step back from her job. The equipment isn't even here yet, so why not enjoy the scenery?
Connections
-At first, Jiang Beixi and Vivian did not get along. They first met in Wasteland Impression, but Vivian was expecting to work on a reality show, not a documentary, and Beixi preferred facts to sensationalism. They finally found a compromise in Poem of the Wild, where Vivian presented facts in an energetic and fun way, and Beixi appreciated the spontaneity of filming different nature scenes.
-Jiang Beixi and her sister, Xitong, both have a strong academic background. But whereas Beixi analyzes other cultures, Xitong focuses on preserving traditional Cloud styles - to the point that she will fail any of her students who diverge from tradition, like Chi Xiaoyu in Early Summer Shower. Even in Azure Porcelain, Jiang Xitong demanded every aspect of her presentation steer clear from anything ethereal, modern, or anything that diverged from "true Cloud fashion."
Fun Facts
-Both Vivian and Jiang Beixi have the Fresh Attribute for their solo suits.
-In the UK, Australia, and most English-speaking countries (besides the US and Canada), "holiday" is used to mean "vacation."
