Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315: What’s the Reward?

(The order of the previous and following chapters was mistaken, please make the corrections quickly, sorry)

This night, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin both had a restless sleep.

Sleeping in the same room, their intimate actions were naturally unceasing, but they couldn’t engage in the substantive act, which was somewhat regrettable.

Because they were too intimate the night before, talking a lot of endearing words, they didn’t get much sleep.

But when they woke up, both of them seemed quite alright.

Ouyang Feifei still had breakfast with them, and during the meal, she asked Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin if they would attend the signing ceremony for the cooperation agreement with Yuezhou Municipal Government that day.

“I have to go back this afternoon, my dad called,” Yang Qingyin said with a bit of a downcast expression, “I want Ziling to accompany me to Lu Xun’s Former Residence in the morning, and then I’ll take the afternoon flight out.”

“Alright,” Ouyang Feifei was somewhat surprised, but also slightly delighted inside, “then you two go, let’s have lunch together.”

Luo Liansheng didn’t expect Yang Qingyin to suddenly announce her departure either, but he didn’t react much, merely asking Luo Ziling to give her a send-off when the time came.

After the morning rise, the weather had worsened.

In fact, the weather changed yesterday afternoon.

In the morning, the sunshine was splendid, without even a breeze.

But around two o’clock in the afternoon, the sun hid behind the clouds, and the wind picked up.

The weather forecast said that today’s weather would be cloudy with light rain turning into snow, with a north wind of force six, a low of zero degrees, and a high of five degrees.

Such temperatures are nothing to speak of in the north.

But in the south, plus the strong wind, it’s the kind of cold that makes your whole body tremble.

Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin had both experienced severe cold, but the wind blowing in their faces still made them shiver.

“Are you cold?” Luo Ziling asked in a soft voice as he hugged Yang Qingyin walking out of the hotel, “Shall we, maybe, stay somewhere warm for the morning?”

“No!” Yang Qingyin shook her head resolutely, “I just want you to accompany me around.”

“Ok!” Luo Ziling heeded Yang Qingyin’s request and embraced her as they got into the car driven by Ye Xiaoli.

Twenty minutes later, the two got off the car at the entrance of Hundred Grass Garden.

These scenic spots don’t require an admission fee, just an online reservation for a free ticket.

Ye Xiaoli helped them with the reservation for the tickets last night. After exchanging their ID cards for tickets, the three entered through the gates of the scenic area.

The weather was cold, with sporadic light rain, and there were few visitors inside Lu Xun’s Former Residence.

Yang Qingyin looked up at the sky and instinctively wrapped her clothes tighter around herself.

The color of the sky resembled her mood today.

She really envied Ouyang Feifei, being able to decide her own whereabouts as she wished, doing anything she wanted.

While she had no such freedom at all.

Thinking of this, Yang Qingyin felt quite depressed.

She also felt the gap between herself and Ouyang Feifei.

Both known as one of the “Yanjing Beauties,” she can hardly enjoy the freedom to date, with her father so strict.

However, amidst the sadness, Yang Qingyin also made a firm decision.

On this return to Yanjing, she must have a proper talk with her father, to expressly state her own stance.

For the sake of love, for the sake of her wonderful future, she would rather sacrifice some benefits from her family and fight back.

Anyway, she had prepared for the worst, even to the point of breaking off ties with her family.

But she had lingering concerns, primarily the threat posed by Ouyang Feifei.

She believed that Ouyang Feifei’s proactive pursuit could overpower the resistance of most men.

If she were a man, faced with the pursuit of a nearly flawless and outstanding woman like Ouyang Feifei, she would also be tempted.

Therefore, although she felt a bit strange about Luo Ziling not completely rejecting Ouyang Feifei, she could understand him to some extent.

However, this also ignited Yang Qingyin’s competitive spirit; she did not want to lose to Ouyang Feifei, and never thought herself to be inferior to Ouyang Feifei.

At the very least, she currently had the upper hand over Ouyang Feifei, as Luo Ziling’s feelings for her were stronger.

“Senior, I originally wanted to spend a few days causing a stir in Qiantang, exploring the plums in Lingshan, and strolling along West Lake. It looks like it can only wait until next time,” Luo Ziling said with some regrets as he walked hand in hand with Yang Qingyin in Hundred Grass Garden, “Hopefully, next time we can enjoy a few days of fun without any disturbances.”

“Hopefully,” Yang Qingyin calmly replied, “This trip has been pretty good. Isn’t it just the two of us hanging out today? You better entertain me properly and make me happy.”

Seeing that Yang Qingyin’s face no longer showed any gloom, Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief.

“Senior, you’ve always been a top student, right?”

“Of course,” Yang Qingyin said with pride on her face, “From elementary school to university, I’ve always been a top student.”

“Then tell me some stories about Mr. Zhou,” Luo Ziling cheekily pinched Yang Qingyin’s cheek and laughed, “I never went to school, so I’m not very clear about his stories.”

“What’s my reward?” Yang Qingyin let Luo Ziling pinch her cheek and tilted her head to counterask. “I’ll decide whether to tell you based on how appropriate the reward is.”

“You can ask for any reward.”

“You’re not sincere at all!” Yang Qingyin sniffed unhappily.

“How about I offer myself as the reward?”

“Stop teasing me,” Yang Qingyin threw a few playful punches at Luo Ziling, “I don’t want that. I still have to provide for a big eater like you.”

“I’m easy to take care of; three big bowls of rice a meal is enough.”

“I’m even easier to take care of; I only need one bowl of rice!”

“Alright, then the reward is, I’ll take care of you later on since you only need one bowl of rice,” Luo Ziling chuckled playfully, with a teasing tone, “From now on, just obediently listen to me, be my little wife. If I point east, you can’t go west…”

Before Luo Ziling could finish his words, he was met with Yang Qingyin’s playful retaliation, “Annoying junior, you’re making fun of me again. I won’t let this go.”

Luo Ziling immediately escaped with a laugh, and Yang Qingyin naturally chased after him, unwilling to let it slide.

Fortunately, there weren’t many tourists in the park, so their playful banter went unnoticed. Ye Xiaoli, who followed behind, naturally chose to ignore it.

A morning spent playing and fooling around dispelled all their gloom.

Although the weather was cold, their hearts were still warm.

Yang Qingyin even took the initiative to suggest they take a photo together.

So, they snapped many pictures inside Lu Xun’s Former Residence, including several intimate ones.

Yang Qingyin, deviating from her norm, even posted their couple’s photo on her social media.

Her WeChat friends were few, and not many could add her as a contact. Ouyang Feifei was among her WeChat friends, and so were Luo Yuqing and Chen Xiaoyi.

Yang Qingyin rarely posted on social media and had never shared intimate photos with Luo Ziling before.

Today, she uncharacteristically flaunted her affection in her posts, surprising Luo Ziling.

However, he didn’t ask any questions and also shared photos of their outing on his own social media, including their intimate snaps.

Seeing Luo Ziling play along, Yang Qingyin couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile.
