Chapter 310: 310: It’s Up to You Whether to Come or Not

Luo Ziling hadn’t run far, instead he slowed down his pace to wait for Yang Qingyin, and when she caught up, he scooped her up in his arms and ran forward quickly.

“Junior, put me down,” Yang Qingyin didn’t expect Luo Ziling to make such a move, and immediately let out a startled cry, struggling desperately.

But Luo Ziling didn’t put her down, he continued to sprint with her in his arms, until he reached a deserted, dark spot, and then he set her down.

After setting her down, seeing that there was no one around, Luo Ziling directly gave Yang Qingyin a kiss.

Yang Qingyin didn’t expect Luo Ziling to be so bold, she was stunned for a moment and didn’t react, but after coming to her senses, she bit him hard on the mouth and then spat out, “All you know is how to bully me, you’re really a bad guy.”

She wasn’t resisting Luo Ziling’s kiss, but she was afraid of being seen by others.

If classmates walking by saw them being intimate, it would be too embarrassing.

Although she had dressed up a bit, it was still very possible that she could be recognized by other classmates.

“Then you can bully me back,” Luo Ziling said with a smile, grabbing Yang Qingyin’s hand, “You can bully me however you want, is that okay?”

“Pretty annoying,” Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling, then dragged him forward, “Let’s go, we’re heading to that tree.”

Luo Ziling let her pull his hand, and the two quickly arrived at the tree they had spent time at before.

But the wind was strong today, and in the end, Luo Ziling didn’t climb the tree. Instead, he protected Yang Qingyin from the wind and stood on the leeward side of the tree trunk to talk.

“What education did you receive when you went home?” Luo Ziling asked Yang Qingyin in a low voice.

After thinking for a bit, Yang Qingyin replied softly, “My grandfather spoke about a lot of things related to the rise and fall of the family, saying that as a member of the Yang Family, everyone should contribute to the prosperity of the family. That way, the Yang Family will continue to thrive. He said I’m the smartest one among the grandchildren in the Yang Family, and he has high hopes for me, hoping that I will perform exceptionally well.”

“Your grandfather values you a lot!” Luo Ziling laughed but didn’t offer any other opinion.

“Sigh, I understand what he means,” Yang Qingyin said, tightly holding Luo Ziling’s hand, “Let’s not talk about these things to avoid spoiling the mood. But, my grandfather has been very good to me since I was little, and he adores me. My parents also love me very much; they all agreed that I can arrange my own life. It’s just that I didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”

“It seems like I’m someone who shouldn’t have appeared,” Luo Ziling said with an awkward smile, “If it weren’t for me, nothing about you would have changed.”

“This past month has been the happiest time for me since I became sensible,” Yang Qingyin took off her glasses, staring unwaveringly at Luo Ziling, “and it’s the month I’ve laughed the most.”

“I hope you can keep being this happy,” Luo Ziling also smiled. “Alright, let’s not talk about unhappy things anymore.”

Originally, he had wanted to ask Yang Qingyin what she had talked about with her grandfather Yang Yunshan, but after a few sentences, he felt like it was dampening the mood and eventually decided not to bring it up. After listening to a few sentences from Yang Qingyin, he had already guessed what the grandfather and granddaughter might have discussed.

He felt that Yang Qingyin would make her own decisions on these matters, and he didn’t want to say too much to her, as it would just dampen the spirits.

Because they were standing under the tree and there were often people passing by on the nearby path, they didn’t dare to make any intimate gestures, they just stood together holding hands and talking. The topic of their conversation soon turned to the plan to climb the Great Wall the next day.

“The weather forecast says it’s going to rain tomorrow,” Luo Ziling, who had been paying attention to the weather, said with a bit of dismay, “It looks like there’ll be moderate rain; what do we do if it really rains?”

“If it rains, we can’t go out to have fun,” Yang Qingyin, who was also keeping an eye on the weather, actually wanted to discuss this issue with Luo Ziling tonight.

Climbing the Great Wall in the rain has no enjoyment; it must be done in clear weather with good visibility. The view is expansive when climbing the Great Wall, and only then does it feel good.

“Shall we change the day?” Luo Ziling suggested, “How about next weekend?”

“We can do that; let’s just go somewhere else tomorrow,” Yang Qingyin agreed but then said regretfully, “Hasn’t this National Day holiday been very unpleasant for you?”

“How could that be?” Luo Ziling laughed, “This National Day holiday has been very exciting, and I’m also very happy. I think I’ll never encounter another holiday like this one in my lifetime.”

“Yeah, so many things going on,” Yang Qingyin softly replied, then leaned her body against Luo Ziling’s shoulder. “And they all started because of me.”

“It’s so good to have you!” Luo Ziling wrapped his arm around Yang Qingyin’s shoulder, and the two of them embraced each other quietly. “Shall we go to the Summer Palace again tomorrow?”

Yang Qingyin gently agreed.

A warm feeling arose again, and Luo Ziling lowered his head, wanting to kiss Yang Qingyin.

Yang Qingyin understood Luo Ziling’s intention and did not refuse.

But just as their lips lightly touched, Luo Ziling’s phone rang.

Surprised, Yang Qingyin quickly pulled her head back and let Luo Ziling answer the call.

It was actually Lin Lan calling. Luo Ziling was quite surprised, but he still answered the phone.

“The chief would like to visit the National Museum and the Military Museum tomorrow, and he hopes you can accompany him,” Lin Lan’s voice was as cold as ever, without any pleasantries, getting straight to the point after the call connected.

“But I’ve got things to do!” Luo Ziling subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Hearing the voice, Yang Qingyin gently tugged on him. “You must go!”

“Whether you’re willing to come is up to you,” Lin Lan sounded a bit impatient. “If you’re willing to accompany him, I’ll pick you up at eight o’clock tomorrow.”

“Weren’t you out?” Luo Ziling was puzzled.

“Then, eight o’clock tomorrow morning, I’ll wait for you at the entrance.” Lin Lan didn’t respond to Luo Ziling’s remark and just hung up the call.

Luo Ziling was speechless. This woman’s EQ really was a matter of concern.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Qingyin asked quietly, “So, Senior Li Haiyang wants you to accompany him to the museum?”

“Yes, he mentioned it a few days ago, but I didn’t expect it to be tomorrow. He didn’t mention it in advance, just a sudden notice.” Luo Ziling was a bit dissatisfied.

“He has already notified you in advance, and he hopes you’ll go, so just go,” Yang Qingyin smiled. “Anyway, it’s going to rain tomorrow. We can wait for a sunny day to go out and have fun.”

“Alright then!” Luo Ziling could only agree with a tinge of frustration.

“Oh, it seems like it’s starting to rain!” Yang Qingyin stretched out her hand and accidentally caught a raindrop. “It’s really raining!”

Suddenly, the raindrops thickened.

“Let’s hurry back to the dorm,” said Luo Ziling. He took off his jacket, draped it over Yang Qingyin’s head, and started running with her.

The rain quickly intensified, but luckily, with Luo Ziling’s jacket, Yang Qingyin wasn’t soaked.

“Junior, you should head back,” Yang Qingyin said, returning his jacket when they reached the female dorms, urging him to go back quickly.

“It’s fine. I’ll go after you’ve gone up,” Luo Ziling gestured for Yang Qingyin to hurry.

After Yang Qingyin had gone up, she saw through the stairwell window that Luo Ziling was still standing in the rain, looking towards the dormitory building, and she couldn’t help but be deeply moved.

Yet she immediately sighed, “Junior, Grandpa gave me a task, to ruin you! Sigh, why did it have to come to this?”
