Chapter 126: Chapter 126: I’ll Take You With Me

Translator: 549690339
Twenty minutes later, Luo Ziling, wearing a pair of large-framed glasses, waited at the entrance of the Summer Palace for Yang Qingyin. She was dressed in a very classic long skirt and had her long hair tied back simply, presenting a timeless and graceful appearance.

Today, she looked almost the same as when Luo Ziling first saw her, the only difference being the color of her clothing.

“It seems that today I am destined to become the envy of everyone,” Yang Qingyin didn’t dress up on purpose, nor did she wear sunglasses or a sun hat to cover up her true appearance, which surprised Luo Ziling but also made him very happy. Seeing Yang Qingyin approaching with a playful grin, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but tease her, “Having such a beautiful companion by my side, I hope no one gets jealous and starts a fight with me.”

Whenever Luo Ziling was around other women, he always felt restrained, unless he was angry, only then would he cast aside all concerns. But with Yang Qingyin, he didn’t feel that restraint; it had been the same upon their first meeting, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. In Yang Qingyin’s company, he felt completely at ease. Encountering her today, he teased her naturally, starting to joke around.

Luo Ziling didn’t know that when Yang Qingyin came out, she was wearing a large mask and sunglasses; she only removed these defenses when she saw him approaching. She couldn’t possibly meet Luo Ziling for a date without any disguise; that way, things would be exposed too quickly.

“Really?” After looking at Luo Ziling, Yang Qingyin also joked, “It seems that a certain junior is afraid his handsome appearance will be too sensational if seen, so he covered his face with glasses and hair to avoid causing a traffic jam in the Summer Palace.”

“Senior, you’re making fun of me,” Luo Ziling said, somewhat embarrassed as he took off his glasses, “There’s too much gossip in the school forum, and I don’t like to be the center of attention all the time.”

“Then give it to me,” Yang Qingyin reached out to Luo Ziling.

“What?” Luo Ziling, looking at the glasses in his hand, handed them to her, puzzled.

Yang Qingyin took them and put them on her nose.

“To avoid any more gossip related to you, I’ll cover my face too,” Yang Qingyin said, and with a giggle, she ran off and called out to Luo Ziling, “Today, I’ll continue to be your guide; you can think about what to do to thank me while buying your ticket.”

Yang Qingyin’s undisguised candor mesmerized Luo Ziling. Although Yang Qingyin’s face was partially hidden by his glasses, and her beauty somewhat reduced, in his eyes, she was still indescribably beautiful, like a fairy.

Quite a few people had already noticed the beautiful woman and the handsome, young Luo Ziling.

Of course, it was mainly men who noticed Yang Qingyin, while naturally, it was women who showed interest in Luo Ziling.

As Luo Ziling queued up to buy tickets, several women curiously looked at him, causing him to blush. After purchasing the tickets, he quickly escaped.

Once inside the Summer Palace, the pair deliberately walked in the less crowded directions.

It wasn’t a weekend today, and the weather wasn’t very good either with moderate dust in the air, and it was already nearly four o’clock, so there weren’t many tourists.

“It’s getting late, let’s just stroll around,” Yang Qingyin said somewhat apologetically as they entered the Summer Palace, “There isn’t much time to play, I’ll accompany you here again next time.”

Looking at the ticket in his hand, Luo Ziling said, “It seems we can get a year pass that allows unlimited visits, is that right?”

“I haven’t looked into it,” Yang Qingyin shook her head, “There should be one, I’ll check it out later. However, although the Summer Palace closes its gates after six o’clock, the clearing time is actually eight o’clock in the evening.”

“So, as long as we leave before eight o’clock, it’s all good?”

“Right,” Yang Qingyin smiled, “but when it gets dark, it’s hard to see the scenery clearly; there aren’t many lights unless it’s a holiday.”

“As long as I can see the person next to me, that’s enough!” Luo Ziling made a double entendre, “With someone by my side, the fun will still be there.”

Yang Qingyin of course understood what Luo Ziling meant and smiled brightly again, “That’s true, we won’t get to the point where it’s so dark that we can’t even see the people next to us.”

“No problem if you can’t see, I’ll just hold on to you, even if you accidentally step into a pit, I can pull you out.”

“Get out of here,” Yang Qingyin spat at Luo Ziling, “you’re not well-intentioned, are you hoping I get hurt?”

Joking all the way, Luo Ziling was very happy, and Yang Qingyin’s smile was brilliant.

In Luo Ziling’s opinion, Yang Qingyin was supposed to be like this, and in this manner, she looked the most beautiful.

Yang Qingyin was very beautiful when she didn’t smile, but when she did, she was even more beautiful.

She smiled happily in front of him, so Luo Ziling saw many moments that made him feel dazzled.

But if her classmates or people who knew her were to see this, they would definitely be shocked to the point of dropping their jaws.

Typically, Yang Qingyin was someone who was not prone to smile easily, possessing the reserve and dignity of a queen, rarely smiling, let alone laughing so carelessly and brilliantly like a blooming flower.

It can only be said that she did not wish to smile for those people in the past, but now, with the person by her side, she was willing to smile for him.

“Senior, why don’t you introduce me to the Summer Palace,” after walking for a while, Luo Ziling pointed towards the Tower of Buddhist Incense on Longevity Hill, “when we reach there, I’ll treat you to dinner, how does that sound?”

“A meal plus an ice cream to buy me over?” Yang Qingyin said with a hint of dissatisfaction, “My labor is worth so little!”

“Then you can make your own demands!”

“Alright, I’ll let you know my demands when I’ve thought of them!” Yang Qingyin agreeably replied and then cleared her throat, stood facing Luo Ziling, “Now, let Guide Yang tell you the story of the old garden.”

Luo Ziling didn’t expect Yang Qingyin to have such a playful side and couldn’t help laughing out loud, “If your voice were a little louder, we might end up with a huge tourist group following us. With such a beautiful guide leading the tour, anyone would follow you.”

Yang Qingyin couldn’t keep it up and burst into laughter, then beckoned Luo Ziling, “Let’s go this way, and when there are fewer people, we’ll go see the corridor.”

Naturally, Luo Ziling had no objection and obediently followed Yang Qingyin.

It was his first time at the Summer Palace, and since he hadn’t studied up on it beforehand, Luo Ziling had no idea about what was inside, nor did he know where he had walked to, only feeling that they were on a hillside.

Yang Qingyin clearly did not have great stamina and started panting a bit after walking quickly for a while. Luo Ziling, who was walking by her side, could see the sweat on her forehead. He considerately took out a tissue and handed it over, then smiled, “Wipe the sweat off, you look tired. How about we find a place to rest for a bit, eat some ice cream to cool down, and then continue with your explanation?”

“Sounds good!” Yang Qingyin immediately agreed.

Luo Ziling thought for a moment, took Yang Qingyin’s hand, and walked ahead.

“Let me hold your hand, so you won’t have trouble walking,” he explained as he grasped Yang Qingyin’s hand.

Yang Qingyin was slightly startled but didn’t struggle, allowing Luo Ziling to lead her.
