Chapter 701: Chapter 701 This is the Reward

(Third Update)

He had not expected Yang Qingyin to be so excited. Even in front of Ye Xiaoli, she was like this, and Luo Ziling felt quite smug, “Senior, since you are so moved, shouldn’t you express something?”

Yang Qingyin’s face immediately turned red, and she pinched Luo Ziling, saying with feigned annoyance, “Let’s move the flowers inside first, and then we can discuss this matter later.”

Ye Xiaoli stood to one side with an expressionless face, as if she had not seen the two showing off their affection in front of her.

Yang Qingyin didn’t talk much with Luo Ziling either, and immediately opened the door to her room.

Luo Ziling carried in the larger pots of plum blossoms and wintersweet, then took the liberty of choosing spots to place them, to which Yang Qingyin had no objections. When arranging the other potted plants, she even asked for Luo Ziling’s opinion.

...

After about half an hour, the trio had finally arranged the assortment of flowers and green plants to their liking.

Standing in any corner, one could see flowers and potted plants. Yang Qingyin was quite satisfied, and before Ye Xiaoli, she lavished praise on Luo Ziling, “Junior, the flowers you bought are really beautiful, they’ve added so much to the house, and I’m so happy. The place feels alive now. I was thinking when to drag you to the flower market, but you beat me to it.”

“I was just captivated by those plum blossoms and wintersweet, and it was their fragrance that made me stop at that flower shop; that’s why I bought these,” Luo Ziling admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I didn’t think to buy other flowers, and I hope you’re not disappointed.”

“These pots of flowers please me more than any others,” Yang Qingyin knew what Luo Ziling meant and promptly replied with a smile, “Flowers in vases don’t last many days, I like these that can bloom repeatedly, planted in pots with soil to nourish them. Especially the plum blossoms, they’re so beautiful, and they smell amazing.”

As she spoke, she looked up, smilingly gazing at Luo Ziling, “Could it be that you knew plum blossoms are my favorite flower?”

“I didn’t know,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “My favorite is the plum blossom because it represents noble character and fearlessness in the face of harsh cold; it has pride. I guessed you might like them too, which is why I bought several pots. I also like orchids, but I’ve never grown them before. Actually, plum blossoms in the Northwest’s small mountain villages would freeze to death; the ones we grow have measures to keep them warm. Oh, by the way, those flowers and plants were actually bought to purify the air.”

“How can your thoughts be even more detailed than a girl’s? This way, you’ll give girls a lot of pressure,” Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling with a smile and chuckled. After jokingly remarking, she added sincerely, “Actually my love for plum blossoms is for the same reasons as you; does this mean our hearts are connected?”

“Of course, we’ve been connected at heart for a long time; haven’t you noticed before?”

When Luo Ziling spoke these cheesy words, Ye Xiaoli, who had been quietly listening at the side, silently walked away to the next room, so as not to disturb their lovey-dovey conversation.

“Hmph,” Yang Qingyin huffed, then slightly discontentedly said, “I don’t want to have a connected heart with you; you’re just an annoying guy.”

“No way? How come it changed all of a sudden?” Luo Ziling looked at Yang Qingyin with a surprised face, “Just a moment ago, you were praising me to the skies, and now I’ve become an annoying guy, no wonder they say women change their minds faster than flipping a book. Today I’ve truly understood the meaning of that saying.”

As a result, Luo Ziling immediately paid the price for his careless words, receiving two pinches on his arm from Yang Qingyin.

But what Luo Ziling didn’t expect was that, after their little scuffle, he received a reward from Yang Qingyin—she took the initiative to give him a kiss.

“Consider it a reward for buying me flowers today,” she said after kissing Luo Ziling. She pinched his cheek and then instructed, “Annoying Laolang, could you help me with my makeup? I want to see what kind of transformation you can pull off.”

“I’ve just learned makeup from a master, and I’m pretty good at it. I guarantee I’ll surprise you,” said Luo Ziling with a face full of pride, gesturing for Yang Qingyin to follow him upstairs to do the makeup in his room.

Yang Qingyin naturally obeyed Luo Ziling’s command and obediently followed him, sitting down in front of the vanity table.

In the following half-hour, Yang Qingyin witnessed what she could only describe as Luo Ziling’s “divine” makeup skills. Her eyebrows were thickened, a hint of blue was added between her lips, and her face shape was slightly roughened—she watched the changes happening right before her eyes.

By the time Luo Ziling had finished the makeup session, Yang Qingyin still couldn’t believe that he had such skills, truly transforming her into the appearance of a man. However, this man was far too handsome; both men and women would be mesmerized at the sight.

Of course, Yang Qingyin’s long hair and the slight bulge beneath her sweater could not completely disguise her gender.

But today, Yang Qingyin had prepared to hide her long hair; in front of Luo Ziling, she wound it up and secured it, and then put on a hat.

With this look, if you only saw her face, you would definitely think she was an extremely handsome boy, the kind of handsome that was youthful.

Luo Ziling seriously examined Yang Qingyin’s face and felt quite satisfied, unable to resist praising himself, “It looks like my makeup skills are pretty good. Although I haven’t officially finished learning, I can already fool most people. By the way, next time we go out, wouldn’t it be more convenient if I made you up to look like a man?”

“Do you think, two men walking hand in hand on a trip is appropriate?” Yang Qingyin playfully retorted, her own face turning red as she spoke.

“Heh, you have a point,” Luo Ziling nodded, “then next time I’ll disguise you differently, so no one can recognize you.”

“Let’s see if your makeup skills improve after a while,” said Yang Qingyin, blushing and looking down. She told Luo Ziling, “You go out first, I need to handle something with my body, and I’ll need to change clothes in a bit.”

“Heh, do you need my help?” Luo Ziling knew that Yang Qingyin wanted to address her chest situation. Seeing her shy and coy expression, he couldn’t help but tease, “I’m definitely better at this than others, I just won’t look.”

“Get out, get out, get out,” Yang Qingyin exclaimed in a mix of annoyance and embarrassment, hitting Luo Ziling several times before pushing him towards the door, “So annoying, I don’t need your help at all. Annoying junior, despicable guy.”

Facing Yang Qingyin’s flurry of “attacks,” Luo Ziling could only make a clumsy escape to the outside of the room. Just then, Ye Xiaoli walked out from a downstairs room upon hearing the commotion. As their eyes met, Luo Ziling noticed an unusual look in Ye Xiaoli’s eyes, which only added to his embarrassment.

He knew that Ye Xiaoli must think that he and Yang Qingyin had already shared the most intimate of relationships.
