Chapter 1485: Chapter 1485: Do You Want to Kneel and Scrub the Washboard?

In the end, Luo Yuqing still suggested driving over, eating until full, and then walking back.

Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling had no objections to this.

Wang Zhenjun and Ye Xiaoli drove them there together, while Lin stayed at the hotel because Luo Yuqing didn’t want her tagging along.

Luo Yuqing knew that Wang Zhenjun was pursuing Ye Xiaoli, so she decided to create an opportunity for them. If Lin came along, she’d just be a third wheel.

Anyway, tonight she’d definitely end up being a third wheel herself, but she didn’t mind. Whether it was because she was Luo Ziling’s older sister or his former admirer, she was happy to tag along and roam around with him in the evening.

The car quickly arrived near the Bell Tower.

“Haha, I just moved my luggage out of this place, and now I’m back here again,” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but sigh as he got out of the car. “Should’ve just stayed put in the first place.”

“Oh? So what you’re saying is, you’d rather live with Ouyang Feifei than stay with us?” Luo Yuqing questioned him unkindly, her gaze flicking toward Yang Qingyin, who didn’t say a word.

Luo Ziling quickly shook his head. “No, that’s not what I meant. I just meant maybe we should have stayed here to eat supper first and then stayed the night in one of the places around here. It wouldn’t matter anyway; my room has two beds. You could take them, and I’d sleep on the couch.”

“Hmph, who wants to share a room with you?” Luo Yuqing scoffed in dissatisfaction.

But since the Bell Tower and Drum Tower were already visible from where they stood, Luo Yuqing didn’t grumble further. Instead, she excitedly pulled out her phone, asking Luo Ziling to take pictures for her.

After snapping a few photos for Luo Yuqing, Luo Ziling then took out his own phone to take pictures of Yang Qingyin.

At first, Yang Qingyin didn’t want to cooperate, but Luo Yuqing dragged her to the roadside, insisting that Luo Ziling take photos.

After taking a few shots of her and Yang Qingyin together, Luo Yuqing pushed Luo Ziling toward Yang Qingyin, saying that she’d take a few photos of the two of them together.

Yang Qingyin tried to escape, but Luo Ziling grabbed her and held her back. Eventually, she stopped resisting, though she didn’t smile in the pictures.

After taking several shots of Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin, Luo Yuqing then ran over to Luo Ziling, asking Yang Qingyin to take pictures of her and Luo Ziling.

After all the chaos and snapping of photos, Luo Yuqing snatched her phone and posted something on her social media.

Yang Qingyin also took out her phone, planning to post something as well.

Luo Ziling, however, simply looked at the photos and didn’t post anything.

Still, there was no word from Chen Xiaoyi, which made Luo Ziling feel a little disappointed.

“Let’s take a group photo of the three of us,” Luo Yuqing called Ye Xiaoli over, asking her to help take the picture.

Their group photo-taking already attracted the attention of passersby.

The two women were stunning, and Luo Ziling was very attractive as well. With such a trio, keeping a low profile was impossible.

Their family photo-op drew even more surprised looks.

Luo Ziling was holding Yang Qingyin’s hand, while Luo Yuqing clung to his arm. Their closeness made many observers speculate about their relationships. Some even viewed them through the lens of a love triangle—one being a wife and the other a mistress. But Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin didn’t seem to care, though Luo Ziling felt a bit awkward.

As they headed toward Muslim Street, Luo Ziling still held onto Yang Qingyin’s arm. Despite her attempts to free herself, she couldn’t escape and had no choice but to let him lead her. Meanwhile, Luo Yuqing continued to cling to his other arm. Such a peculiar trio naturally attracted a high rate of attention, which made Ye Xiaoli and Wang Zhenjun, tasked with their safety, incredibly nervous.

The two didn’t dare show any intimacy themselves, instead trailing them closely on either side.

Wang Zhenjun wanted to step forward to remind them to keep a lower profile, but Ye Xiaoli stopped him.

As the Lantern Festival neared, the crowd on Muslim Street remained as dense as ever. Even then, Luo Ziling didn’t release Yang Qingyin’s hand, while Luo Yuqing held tight to his arm as they maintained their peculiar formation all the way into Muslim Street.

Once inside Muslim Street, Luo Ziling finally let go of Yang Qingyin’s hand, taking out his wallet to buy some snacks.

“Should we sit down in a restaurant, or get something to eat while walking?” Luo Ziling asked the two women beside him.

“What did you do with Ouyang Feifei yesterday when you brought her here?” Yang Qingyin finally spoke up.

“We ate while walking,” Luo Ziling answered honestly.

“Then today, let’s sit in a restaurant and have a proper meal,” Yang Qingyin said, and promptly headed toward a busy eatery.

Luo Ziling looked up at the sign of the “Sun Ji” snack shop and followed her inside, pulling Luo Yuqing along with him.

Wang Zhenjun and Ye Xiaoli quickly caught up, and the five of them sat at the same table.

Luo Yuqing glanced at Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling, then at Wang Zhenjun and Ye Xiaoli, and suddenly remarked, “I’m really a bright third wheel tonight. I’m going to eat a lot to console myself since I don’t have a male companion to cheer me up.”

True to her words, when the food arrived, she started feasting.

In the end, Luo Yuqing devoured three roujiamos, a skewer of lamb, and half a bowl of mutton soup with flatbread.

After eating, she kept complaining that her stomach was too full to walk, demanding Luo Ziling carry her back.

Yang Qingyin, on the other hand, ate sparingly—just half a skewer of roasted lamb and a single roujiamo.

“See? What a big difference between one woman and another,” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but tease Luo Yuqing. “Learn to be more ladylike! Take a cue from Qingyin.”

“Get lost!” Luo Yuqing kicked him under the table. “Don’t compare your girlfriend to me, your sister! In your eyes, is your sister all flaws and your girlfriend flawless?”

“She has flaws! Of course, she does,” Luo Ziling exclaimed, suddenly calling out as though he had an epiphany. “I forgot to ask the boss for a bottle of vinegar!”

Wang Zhenjun and Ye Xiaoli, who were quietly eating, didn’t immediately catch the joke, and Luo Yuqing paused in confusion before realizing what he meant.

Yang Qingyin caught on the quickest. She glared at Luo Ziling in annoyance and jabbed his waist with her slender fingers, causing him to cry out in pain while Luo Yuqing laughed heartily beside him.

“When we get back, should I make you kneel on a washboard?” Luo Yuqing suggested mischievously. “Oh, we have a computer in our room—I’ll get the keyboard out. That’s even better than a washboard.”

“That’s a great idea,” Yang Qingyin immediately agreed.

“Ladies, I treated you to supper just now! You can’t repay kindness with cruelty!” Luo Ziling pleaded, his face falling miserably. “Fine, tomorrow I’ll take you out to have fun and give you an unforgettable Lantern Festival experience!”

“What kind of unforgettable experience?” Luo Yuqing’s interest was instantly piqued.

“We’ll see tomorrow!” Luo Ziling replied mysteriously.

This earned him a pinch each from both women!
