Chapter 864 - 864 864 Sadness

Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Sadness Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Sadness (Chapter 6)

After leaving Ouyang Feifei’s villa, Luo Ziling did not take a car home, but chose to walk instead.

He didn’t know why, but as he stepped out of the residential area and onto the main street, he felt bored, a kind of indescribable loneliness surging inside him.

The incident stirred up by Ouyang Huihui had left him feeling weary.

While walking on the main street, he unexpectedly found himself missing the days he had spent in the little mountain village a few months ago.

Whether alone or with his grandfather in the small mountain village, though it was quieter, he never felt bored, and he didn’t have to exhaust himself in conflicts with others. The only challenges requiring his wits were the wild beasts in the nearby mountains. The villagers in the small mountain village were few, but they were all kind and simple.

Although his grandfather did not allow him too much interaction with those villagers, he still had quite a bit of contact with them.

The simple villagers always revealed their most genuine and kind sides to him and his grandfather. In the hearts of the villagers in the small mountain village, their status was very high, the most respectable, so every time they saw them, they were warmly greeted, never schemed against.

Before leaving the small mountain village, Luo Ziling once thought that interacting with people was that simple.

Struggling against nature, battling with beasts, encountering difficulties while picking herbs on the mountain, he might feel physically tired, but never felt tired in his heart. After arriving in Yanjing, his body did not feel weary, but his heart often did.

The endless scheming between people wore him out.

As he walked on the main street, he especially missed his grandfather and wished he could see him right then.

Talking with his grandfather, seeing his affectionate smile, his loving expression, always made him feel happy and content—this was the most comforting attachment.

Twenty years of nurturing had given Luo Ziling an attachment to Luo Liansheng that he could never sever.

“Grandfather, when will you return to Yanjing?” Luo Ziling sighed silently as he slowly made his way back toward the school.

Just as he was leisurely walking back toward the school, he heard the notification sound of WeChat and took out his phone to see that it was from Yang Qingyin.

“Junior, I’m coming back from home this afternoon. Just woke up, seems like I slept in a wrong position, can you come over and massage it for me?” Yang Qingyin’s message was followed by two bashful emoticons.

Seeing the bashful emoticons at the end of Yang Qingyin’s message, Luo Ziling’s mood suddenly improved, “I’m on my way back to school, I’ll be there soon.”

Strangely, Yang Qingyin’s message instantly lightened Luo Ziling’s mood; his steps even became more cheerful as he walked.

Approaching the house where Yang Qingyin lived, Luo Ziling also bought some fruits and a basket of small steamed buns along the way.

He thought that Yang Qingyin, having just woken up, might be hungry.

When he arrived at Yang Qingyin’s house, Luo Ziling was surprised to see Ye Xiaoli standing at the door waiting.

Seeing him approaching, Ye Xiaoli smiled shyly and whispered, “I have something to take care of and need to step out.”

Without waiting for Luo Ziling to reply, she quickly walked away.

“Such a thoughtful girl,” watching Ye Xiaoli’s figure disappear around the corridor, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but remark.

He entered the room, closed the door, changed into slippers, and Luo Ziling directly took the fruits and steamed buns he bought upstairs.

“Yo, the afternoon sun is already shining on the buttocks, and you’re still not up?” Seeing Yang Qingyin lazily lying in bed, with the sun shining through the curtains into the room, Luo Ziling couldn’t help teasing, “Is coming home so exhausting for you? You just need to sleep a lot once you’re back?”

“Wash your hands and come massage me quick, I’m dead tired from sleeping,” Yang Qingyin ignored Luo Ziling’s teasing and grunted discontentedly, “I don’t have your kind of carefree life, and I even got a lecture from my dad when I went home.”

“No way?” Luo Ziling put the things he bought on a table to the side, smiling as he walked towards the bathroom, “Doesn’t your dad know how to cherish the fairer sex? His treasure of a daughter, how can he bear to scold her often? If it were me, if I had such a beautiful and smart daughter, I’d never bear to scold her.”

He had not finished speaking when he entered the bathroom.

When he came out, Yang Qingyin was still sprawling on the bed, looking seductive, “Hmph, it’d be great if you could have such an exceptional daughter.”

“That would depend on your efforts, too. I can’t do that single-handedly no matter how capable I am,” he replied.

Yang Qingyin’s face turned red in a second, and she couldn’t help spitting, “I wouldn’t marry you, nor bear daughters for you. Hmph, annoying guy!”

“I bought a little steamed bun, want me to feed you first, then massage you?” Luo Ziling pointed at the steamed buns still steaming hot.

“Alright, I’m a bit hungry anyway,” Yang Qingyin didn’t refuse and prepared to sit up in bed.

Luo Ziling quickly went over, helped her up, and casually pinched her cheek, “You look a bit like Sleeping Beauty, throw me a couple more alluring glances, and I promise not to be Liuxia Hui.”

The just-awoken Yang Qingyin, her long hair casually disheveled, her cheeks charmingly flushed, her eyes seductive, was indescribably enticing.

It seemed she wasn’t wearing a bra under her pajamas, the revealing view was irresistibly inviting fantasies.

Yang Qingyin’s face turned red again, and she reached out and pinched Luo Ziling, “Annoying guy, you’re making fun of me again, I don’t want to deal with you anymore.”

With that, she turned her head away.

She was immediately turned back around by Luo Ziling, who while holding her head in his hands, also took the opportunity to kiss her on the lips. Amid Yang Qingyin’s protests, he chuckled and escaped with the steamed buns.

Fearing the soup would drip onto the bed, Luo Ziling pulled several tissues under Yang Qingyin’s neck, and after doing that, while feeding her a steamed bun, he joked again, “Why do I feel like I am feeding a daughter?”

After eating a steamed bun, Yang Qingyin said proudly, “Having such a beautiful and smart daughter like me would be the blessing of your many lifetimes.”

“Alright, I admit you are right about that. It looks like, your father doesn’t know the blessings he’s living with.”

The statement made Yang Qingyin somber. “Ah, if only everything could be simple, how nice would that be?”

“Yeah, if only life wasn’t filled with all this backstabbing, how nice that would be,” Luo Ziling also couldn’t help reflecting, “Actually, I really miss living in the small mountain village. It was so simple and peaceful, no need to worry about people scheming against you, or scheming against others. Coming to Capital, everything changed dramatically. Ah!”

Seeing the melancholy on Luo Ziling’s face as he said this, and his heavy sighs that followed, Yang Qingyin surprisingly felt a pang of heartache.

It seemed, she had really gone too far this time.

She thought of the scene on the train where she saw Luo Ziling chasing the high-speed train, and her heart ached again.
