Luo Ziling treated Yang Qingyin to a fancy local cuisine restaurant about one and a half kilometers from the school, where they had a really good meal.

Yang Qingyin had requested this, and Luo Ziling naturally accommodated her.

Although it was a feast, Yang Qingyin only ordered two dishes that she liked, and left the rest up to Luo Ziling to decide, repeatedly reminding him not to waste too much and that it was enough as long as they were satisfied, advocating for a ‘clean plate’ approach.

But Luo Ziling still ordered six or seven dishes, and the result was that most of the food, including three big bowls of rice, ended up in his stomach.

“No wonder you’re so thin,” Luo Ziling teased Yang Qingyin, “If I ate so little, I’d probably have starved to death by now.”

“If I ate as much as you do, I’d have burst by now,” Yang Qingyin teased back, “You eat like you’re reborn from a starving ghost, so voracious!”

“That’s nothing,” Luo Ziling said, not in the least bit abashed, “My biggest feature is my appetite, having a full stomach is the most basic need in life, you need energy to do other things.”

Before Yang Qingyin could respond, he continued, “Once, I roasted a wild goat that weighed more than twenty kilograms, and my grandfather and I finished it in one meal.”

“Wow, you guys have huge appetites,” Yang Qingyin said, shocked, and then asked curiously, “Are there a lot of wild animals where you live?”

“Plenty,” Luo Ziling nodded, “There are wolves, leopards, foxes, wild sheep, snow leopards. We’ve caught hares, foxes, wolves, wild sheep, and snow leopards. Once, a pack of wolves burst into the village, and I killed four of them on my own, one of which was the alpha. I also fought with a snow leopard, if it weren’t a protected species, I might have had the chance to taste snow leopard meat.”

“No way!” Yang Qingyin exclaimed in astonishment at Luo Ziling’s proud words, “There are so many wild animals where you live? Wolves come into the village? And you fought with a snow leopard?? Aren’t you afraid of snow leopards?”

“Don’t believe me?”

“It’s not that,” Yang Qingyin shook her head, “I’m just curious. Aren’t snow leopards very powerful? They are also really fast runners, and you dared to fight with one? Did you win in the end?”

“Of course,” Luo Ziling said with a face full of pride, “If I hadn’t won, I would have ended up in its belly. I also wouldn’t have had the opportunity to sit here and have dinner with you. By the way, if you come with me to the Northwest, I can catch some game and roast it for you. Don’t doubt it, the game I roast is extraordinarily delicious, you might even bite off your own tongue.”

“You’ve successfully piqued my interest,” Yang Qingyin said with a smile, looking at Luo Ziling, “Even if you didn’t invite me, I couldn’t help but want to go. Do I have a thick skin?”

“How about I test how thick it is?” Luo Ziling proposed, reaching out towards Yang Qingyin’s delicate cheek.

“Cut it out,” Yang Qingyin slapped Luo Ziling’s hand away, blushing and feigning annoyance, “Do you really think I have thick skin?”

Luo Ziling grabbed Yang Qingyin’s hand, holding it in his, and laughed, “I didn’t say that, you’re the one saying it. I only meant to help you verify it.”

“You’re such a bad guy!” Yang Qingyin didn’t pull away, but instead inspected Luo Ziling closely, while observing him she said, “Your hands don’t look like those of a frequent hunter, but more like a pianist’s, with skin as delicate as a girl’s.”

“I take good care of it, my private secret,” Luo Ziling said with a mysterious smile, “If one day you think your skin isn’t smooth, just come to me, and when you’re forty, I can help you get back your eighteen-year-old’s youthful skin.”

“Really?” Yang Qingyin was immediately thrilled.

“Of course, it’s true,” Luo Ziling let go of Yang Qingyin’s hand and truly touched her face, “But your skin is so good now, my skincare methods aren’t needed at the moment. Let’s wait until later!”

With Luo Ziling gently caressing her face, Yang Qingyin couldn’t help but feel incredibly shy, yet she didn’t dodge, allowing Luo Ziling to stroke her cheek.

Luo Ziling’s hands were slender and delicate, unlike those of an average male; they weren’t rough at all. More importantly, they were very warm, and his movements, very gentle. The feeling of his touch was quite comfortable.

But Luo Ziling was too embarrassed to stroke Yang Qingyin’s cheeks for too long. Today’s bold move had not been rejected by Yang Qingyin, which was a surprise to him. Naturally, he was also very excited.

After dinner, neither of them planned to head back immediately, but it was getting late, and they didn’t want to go too far. In the end, they decided to just stroll around the school. Under the cover of the “Night Color,” they naturally held hands, chatting and laughing as they walked slowly ahead.

As they chatted, the topic naturally shifted to the National Day holiday travel plans.

“Senior, do you really want to go traveling with me?” Luo Ziling still wasn’t completely certain that Yang Qingyin really wanted to go on a trip with him.

Going on a trip is entirely different from the usual dates where they hung out or had dinner together.

For a man and a woman traveling together, staying in separate rooms would feel odd; staying in the same room would be even more peculiar.

A girl willing to go on a trip alone with a boy is essentially willing to do anything with him—this was Cao Jianhui’s lofty opinion.

Although Luo Ziling very much hoped to travel with Yang Qingyin, he was still unsure whether she wanted to go alone with him, even though she had indicated several times that she did. He still felt this way.

“Don’t you want to?” Yang Qingyin knew Luo Ziling’s doubts, but still playfully replied, “If you don’t want to take me as a burden, then I won’t go.”

“How could that be,” Luo Ziling held her hand tighter, “I definitely want to take you, just that…”

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Ziling suddenly grabbed Yang Qingyin and darted into the darkness at the side, under the shadow of a large tree. Yang Qingyin was startled by Luo Ziling’s actions, instinctively clutching his hand tighter, but without screaming or showing signs of panic.

Several shadows rushed toward them, but because the light was too dim, Luo Ziling couldn’t make out the faces of those people.

Thinking of the KTV brawl that occurred two days earlier, Luo Ziling suspected those people might seek revenge, so he immediately prepared for any unexpected situations.

Who would have known, before he could react further, a sleazy voice followed: “Boss, we finally caught you, haha, tell us who your girlfriend is!”

Then another even sleazier voice: “Let’s see how you deny it today, hehe, let us see what your goddess looks like!”

Without a doubt, those who suddenly appeared were the three guys from his dormitory.
