Chapter 282: Chapter 267: Bihu is a Magical Place

"Let’s look around first..."

Ye Ling was about to say something when he saw Ning Ruoxi pull out her phone and start snapping photos of everything.

"Hey, silly, come take a picture with me!"

Ning Ruoxi said with a giggle, looking especially excited.

"Alright, alright."

Ye Ling dotingly ruffled Ning Ruoxi’s hair and posed with her for several photos in a row.

"Hehe, love you!"

After they were done, Ning Ruoxi planted a loud smooch on Ye Ling’s cheek.

She knew Ye Ling wasn’t one for taking pictures, but now, because she loved documenting their life, he would join her...

’Isn’t this the most important part of love—compromising and adapting to each other?’

Satisfied after her photo spree, Ning Ruoxi looped her arm through Ye Ling’s and they began to explore.

Just as the driver had said, the World’s Edge Stone and the Sea Cape Stone were really just two rocks. They looked rather unremarkable.

But, to be fair, the scenery at the Tianya Haijiao Scenic Area was still quite nice. Strolling on the soft sand, gazing at the blue sky, white clouds, and the sea...

Most importantly, you were with the one you loved!

It was, without a doubt, a true pleasure.

Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi wandered casually, enjoying the unique subtropical scenery.

The Tianya Haijiao Scenic Area might have been less "fun" than Yalong Bay, but the cultural depth and sentimental value were definitely much richer.

In addition to the World’s Edge and Sea Cape Stones and the Sun and Moon Stone, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi also went to see the legendary Unity Tree—two intertwined coconut trees that symbolized love.

As they strolled along, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi both felt their minds completely calm down.

Feeling the sea breeze, admiring the beautiful scenery, holding a chilled coconut, and taking a sip whenever they felt like it.

’This is the life!’

...

Around six in the evening, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi returned to their ocean-view room.

The clouds on the horizon, set against the setting sun, blazed as if on fire.

"It’s so beautiful..."

Ning Ruoxi rested her head against Ye Ling’s chest, her gaze turning hazy.

’A sight like today’s is something I’ll never forget in my lifetime.’

"Mm, it is beautiful, but I think it’s missing something."

Ye Ling nodded at her words and suddenly smiled.

"Missing something?"

Ning Ruoxi tilted her chin up, blinking as she asked.

"There’s a saying online: ’No matter how beautiful the scenery, it pales in comparison to the person beside you.’"

Ye Ling turned his head, his gaze full of affection.

In that instant, Ning Ruoxi’s heart began to race, and a blush crept up her pretty face.

’Damn!’

’This damn man, when did he get so good at flirting?’

"What I’m trying to say is, no scenery, no matter how beautiful, can compare to you right here beside me."

Ye Ling reached out, wrapped his arm around Ning Ruoxi’s slender waist, and continued.

It was clearly a cheesy pickup line, but for some reason, hearing it from Ye Ling’s lips, it didn’t sound cheesy at all. Instead, it was incredibly charming!

’Maybe this is the legendary ’good-looks buff’?’

"Hmph! All you do is talk sweet."

Ning Ruoxi huffed, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

’Alright!’

’She had to admit it, she was completely charmed!’

"Talk sweet, huh?"

Hearing this, Ye Ling grunted, bent down, and swept Ning Ruoxi up into his arms.

"What are you doing!"

Ning Ruoxi let out a startled cry.

"Subduing a demon."

Without even looking down, Ye Ling carried Ning Ruoxi and walked toward the bedroom.

’Heh, you little Fox Demon. Time to face the Heavenly Dragon!’

...

「An hour and a half later.」

Ye Ling lay in bed with his arm around Ning Ruoxi, ordering food on his phone. Meanwhile, Ning Ruoxi was curled up in his embrace, utterly exhausted, a faint flush still visible on her pretty face.

"What do you want for dinner?" Ye Ling asked, as if nothing had happened, seeking Ning Ruoxi’s opinion.

"Hmph!"

Ning Ruoxi glared at Ye Ling coquettishly.

’This guy... he just finished bullying me, and now he’s trying to act like a doting boyfriend?’

"What’s wrong? Not hungry? We can just ’exercise’ some more and order when you are. The room service is available 24/7, after all."

Ye Ling said with a raised eyebrow.

"No, no, no! I’m hungry!"

Ning Ruoxi immediately shrank back, but a hint of annoyance couldn’t help but flash in her beautiful eyes.

’So this is what they call a ’dog man’?’

’As expected.’

’There isn’t a single good man in the entire world!’

’Back then, it was all ’my little baby, my sweetheart,’ but the moment he got what he wanted, he changed!’

"So, what do you want to eat?"

Ye Ling completely ignored her resentful glare, his eyes fixed on the screen as if he were genuinely focused on picking out dinner.

"I’m kind of craving hot pot."

Ning Ruoxi thought for a moment before speaking.

Normally, she ate very little for dinner. After all, a girl has to watch her figure and stay slim. But after being tormented by Ye Ling like this today...

’The physical exertion was a bit much!’

When she’d said she was hungry just now, besides being afraid this huge pervert Ye Ling would go for another round, she was also genuinely famished.

Thinking of this, Ning Ruoxi felt troubled again.

Ye Ling was like a bug in the system, completely different from what people said online!

She suddenly had the urge to post on a forum and ask the girls, "What do you do when your boyfriend’s cooldown is too short?"

"Let’s go with a seafood hot pot then."

Ye Ling thought for a moment and placed an order for dinner directly on the app.

Making hot pot can be a lot of trouble, but it all comes down to that old saying: it’s only trouble when you don’t have enough money!

If you have the funds, it’s not trouble at all.

And just as Ye Ling was ordering dinner, Ning Ruoxi was already on the side, downloading that forum app.
