Chapter 1831: Chapter 1831: The Intimacy of Whispered Affection

After dinner, it was already close to ten o’clock.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Luo Ziling asked Yang Qingyin, “Do you want to go for another walk, a night tour of West Lake?”

“We toured last night, and you want to go again?” Yang Qingyin, who was holding Luo Ziling’s hand, looked at him in surprise, “Aren’t you tired?”

“We had lunch, but I still want to eat dinner. It’s the same with seeing beauty, you can look again after seeing it once. The night view of West Lake is so beautiful, if we just stand by its edge and don’t take a walk, wouldn’t it be a bit unfair to Lady Xizi?”

“Do you always use such comparisons?” Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling and then wrapped her arm around his, putting her whole body weight on his shoulder, “Alright then, since you performed well today, this lady will accompany you for a walk around West Lake. I’m too full, need to digest. You, you’re really annoying, how can you make me eat such a big piece of meat? Tomorrow I’ll surely gain several pounds.”

“It’s alright, as long as it grows where it should,” Luo Ziling said seriously, “I’ll help you enhance the effect.”

Yang Qingyin froze for a moment before understanding Luo Ziling’s meaning, then she performed a Yang’s Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Pinch, causing Luo Ziling to cry out in pain. She appeared indignant, “Dare to mock me? Believe it or not, I’ll pinch you until your flesh comes off.”

But Luo Ziling endured the pain and continued teasing Yang Qingyin, “Senior, pinching like this does make it swell and look bigger. Are you hinting me to do the same to you?”

Of course, this resulted in Yang Qingyin getting furious again.

After enduring three pinches and two leg kicks, Luo Ziling dashed away, leaving Yang Qingyin behind.

When Yang Qingyin caught up to him again, he lifted his shirt, pointed at the bruise from Yang Qingyin’s pinching, and said with a pained expression, “Senior, look, you really made it swell. By tomorrow, it’ll definitely be a big bruise. Your actions remind me of a saying.”

“If you dare to say that saying, I’ll pinch your other arm until it swells too.” Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling “threateningly,” desperately suppressing her laughter.

“Alright, then I won’t say that women’s hearts are the most poisonous saying,” Luo Ziling said with a drooping head, looking dejected, “Let’s continue our walk around West Lake.”

And promptly received a kick from Yang Qingyin.

After a gentle kick, Yang Qingyin said resentfully, “Annoying junior, dare to continue, and I’ll push you into West Lake to feed the fish.”

“Maybe there are mermaids,” Luo Ziling laughed mischievously, “Maybe Lady Xizi transformed into a fish hiding in West Lake.”

“Then jump in, maybe you can have a bridal chamber evening with Lady Xizi tonight.”

“Then I’ll jump!”

“Jump then, go ahead. Want me to count to three?”

“How about four, five, six?”

“…”

“Forget it, I suddenly remembered I need to give a massage to a certain senior tonight, so I’ll pass on meeting Lady Xizi,” seeing Yang Qingyin finally couldn’t help but laugh, Luo Ziling sighed as if helplessly, “If I don’t give a massage to a clumsy senior, come tomorrow morning, her legs might be stiff.”

“You’re so annoying, what clumsy senior? Am I clumsy?”

“Did I say it was you?” Luo Ziling looked innocently at Yang Qingyin, “But if you automatically assume, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Yang Qingyin rushed up with a flurry of punches and kicks but was immediately restrained by Luo Ziling.

“Senior, you can’t be so violent,” Luo Ziling said happily after restraining Yang Qingyin’s limbs and giving her delicate nose a playful flick, “I really couldn’t tell, such a gentle senior is actually quite the violent maniac. Let’s go, enjoy the night view, a feast for the eyes is also nice.”

Without waiting for a response from Yang Qingyin, he pulled her along as they walked.

Yang Qingyin didn’t struggle, obligingly holding Luo Ziling’s hand, walking along the edge of West Lake.

“Is this really your first time at West Lake?” After walking a while, Yang Qingyin asked Luo Ziling, “How come you’re so familiar with West Lake and Qiantang on your first visit?”

“Walking along the lakeshore, it’s impossible to get lost, it doesn’t require familiarity,” Luo Ziling laughed, “Would I lie to you? Most of my time was spent in Qingfeng Village; when I did go out, it was occasionally with my grandpa to treat patients. You know, traditional medicine requires experience accumulation for improving medical skills, so whenever grandpa went out, he’d mostly take me along. But I’ve only been active in the Northwest area and haven’t visited other nearby provinces. Before coming to Yanjing, the biggest city I’d been to was Wushi. I’m an out-and-out country kid.”

“Our childhood, teenage years, youthful years, our life trajectories were completely different.” Yang Qingyin turned to look at Luo Ziling, speaking seriously, “Honestly, I really don’t understand why when I first saw you, I felt you were different from others.”

“My charm is innate.” Luo Ziling said proudly.

Only to earn a roll of the eyes from Yang Qingyin.

“There’s a saying called ‘love at first sight,’ if you didn’t know it before, now having met me, you understand it.”

“I didn’t fall for you at first sight,” Yang Qingyin said disdainfully, “At that time, I was just shocked by you.”

“Why deny it? Admitting won’t hurt your image,” Luo Ziling said, frustrated.

“Hmph, I’m just not admitting,” Yang Qingyin pouted, “Who told you to bully me often?”

“Then bully me back!”

“How should I bully you back?” Yang Qingyin looked slyly at Luo Ziling, “Beat you up?”

“Bite me,” Luo Ziling pointed at his face.

“Alright, then I’ll bite you,” Yang Qingyin said, releasing Luo Ziling’s arm, then reached out to hug him around the neck, and in Luo Ziling’s stunned gaze, initiated a kiss.

By West Lake, there were streams of people around, and Luo Ziling never imagined that the usually reserved Yang Qingyin would behave so wildly. Ignoring the curious and envious gazes of passersby, she dared to boldly embrace and kiss him.

Seeing the strange yet admiring looks from the passersby around, Luo Ziling threw caution to the wind too and embraced Yang Qingyin with passion. Of course, while passionately kissing Yang Qingyin, he moved her to a dimly lit spot that wouldn’t obstruct others passing by.

After a short while, Yang Qingyin broke free, looking earnestly at Luo Ziling, “Actually, I cherish the first man who moved my heart very much, and I wish for you to be the only man to move my heart in my lifetime. I hope you’ll treat me well and not let me down, okay?”

Seeing Yang Qingyin’s serious demeanor, Luo Ziling suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Finally, he expressed his feelings by embracing Yang Qingyin again and kissing her.

When the two returned to their place, it was already past midnight.

Throughout the day, they walked more than thirty thousand steps, and their WeChat friend circle showed their steps far ahead of everyone else’s.

This amount of exercise was no problem for Luo Ziling, but for the less physically fit Yang Qingyin, she was quite tired.

On the way back to the hotel, Luo Ziling carried her for a long stretch.

Lying on Luo Ziling’s shoulder, Yang Qingyin had a contented look.

She occasionally played little tricks, like tickling Luo Ziling or giving him kisses or intentionally brushing her hair against his neck. The intimate feeling was extraordinarily wonderful.

All the day’s unhappiness and worries seemed to vanish in the boundless romance of the moment.

But just when the two thought the romance would continue upon returning to the hotel, an unexpected situation arose.
