However, Yang Qingyin immediately sent him a message, which instantly dispelled his depression.
“What do I get for being your tour guide :P”

‘As soon as he read the message, Luo Ziling’s mood soared. “I’ll treat you to dinner!” he replied instantly.

“Just one dinner? Isn’t that too stingy?”

“Tl add in supper, then. That fine?”

‘Without waiting for Yang Qingyin to reply, Luo Ziling immediately sent another message. “How about this: I’ll do whatever you say. If you give the order, I’ll jump into the flames of hell!”

After Yang Qingyin sent a series of laughing emojis, she followed up with another message. “Alright, then wait outside the East Gate of the Old Summer Palace in half an hour.”

Luo Ziling finished eating as fast as he could. After paying the bill, he immediately ran towards the Old Summer Palace.

The Old Summer Palace was only separated from Yenching University by Qinghua West Road. By exiting through the university’s west gate, you would be able to get to the Old SUmmer Palace’s East Gate.

Luo Ziling did not return to the school, however. He’d eaten lunch somewhere outside school’s East Gate, and so he headed straight towards the Old Summer Palace along Zhongguancun North Street. He ran all the way there, and within 15 minutes, he arrived at his destination.
After looking around and seeing that Yang Qingyin hadn’t arrived yet, he went to buy two tickets.

Afraid that Yang Qingyin wouldn’t be able to recognize him, who was wearing sunglasses and a hat, so he took off these clothes again.

There was still about five minutes before the appointed time. Luo Ziling saw a tall girl with a slim figure. After coming up from the underground passage, she walked quickly toward the east gate of Yuanming Garden.

Although he couldn’t see the long-haired girl’s appearance clearly, Luo Ziling immediately recognized this girl as Yang Qingyin.

He went forward and waved his hand. The girl also saw him and quickly walked over.

After making his way over to her, Luo Ziling joked, “I almost didn’t recognize you. Good thing I didn’t recognize the wrong person.”

Today, Yang Qingyin was wearing something completely different from what she normally wore.

The last few times when he’d seen her, she had been wearing a long dress. Her long hair had been tied loosely behind her head with a rope, giving off an elegant, traditional aura like those women in ancient costumes in TV and movies.

Today, however, Yang Qingyin was wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. Her hair was still tied in a simple ponytail, but today she seemed like the ‘girl-next-door’ kind of woman. It was refreshing.

Of course, Luo Ziling’s neighbors had never seen such a beautiful girl.

He was actually quite curious as to why the books he’d read would use the phrase “Girl-next-door” to describe a simple and refreshing girl. After all, he had lived in a small mountain village in the northwest for nearly twenty years, so he couldn’t imagine this. There were only a few girls in the small
mountain village, and they all looked very shabby.

Yang Qingyin seemed to be afraid of being recognized by others. She wore a pair of sunglasses, but when she saw Luo Ziling, she took them off.

‘When she realized that that Luo Ziling was staring at her with surprise on his face, Yang Qingyin playfully asked, “Does this look that bad? If it’s really ugly, you’d better not say it or I’ll be sad.”

“No, your outfit is too beautiful. I was stunned by it,” Luo ziling said seriously. “I’ll have to be prepared to be attacked at any time since my female companion is so beautiful. If someone else sees her, they will definitely be jealous. They might even come up and beat me up.”
Yang Qingyin was amused by his words. This guy was not slow-witted at all–he even knew how to compliment a woman properly.

“That’s good. I’m really afraid of being called ugly by you.”

“If you were considered ugly, would there still be beautiful women in the world?”

“Aw, I’m flattered.” Yang Qingyin tilted her head and looked at him. After smiling brightly, she pointed at the gatse of the Old Summer Palace and said, “Why don’t we go in? We don’t have much time to joke around since we came here so late in the day.”

“Okay, let’s go then.” Luo Ziling made a gesture of invitation in a gentlemanly manner, then said, “It’s my first time here, so please don’t abduct and sell me me. I’m not familiar with this place. If you sell me, I won’t be able to find my way home.”

“Oh, thanks for reminding me.” Yang Qingyin looked at him playfully. “A handsome guy like you will definitely sell for a good price. If I sell you, I will have enough money to live on for a few years in university. I might even be able to buy a house in the second ring road.”
Luo Ziling grinned. “How about we give it a try? You sell me, and I will think of a way to run back. When that time comes, we will split the profits, In that case, the both of us will have enough money to live on.”

“Okay, then let’s go see if there’s a rich woman inside,” Yang Qingyin joked. As she walked forward, she suddenly stopped and looked at Luo ziling. “Why don’t we write a piece of paper and stick it on your face? How much are you willing to pay to sell yourself?”
“Why don’t we use a blade of grass? Didn’t people in the ancient times always stick a blade of grass on their heads?”

“Then I’ll go and get some.” Yang Qingyin pretended to pull at the grass strands by the roadside.

Luo Ziling grabbed onto her hand and said with a smile, “Why don’t we finish visiting Yuanming Garden first and then consider this matter?”

Yang Qingyin was startled when he took her hand. Her body trembled slightly, but she didn’t struggle free. Instead, she only smiled and replied, “Then I’l listen to you.”

“Let’s go!” he let go of her hand.

Yang Qingyin smoothed out the hair on her temples and turned to ask, “Is this really your first time in Yanjing?”

“Yes, it’s my first time here.” When he said this, Luo Ziling felt a little emotional, but he was afraid that it would affect Yang Qingyin’s mood. He immediately smiled and said, “Do I look like a country bumpkin?”

“There are many people who have never been to Yanjing. How could I say that you’re a country bumpkin?” Yang Qingyin smiled very brightly. “It’s just a little strange.”

“In that case, bring me around more in the future and do your best as a landlord. How about that? If you do that, I’ll definitely familiarize myself with this city very quickly,” Luo Ziling said as he gave Yang Qingyin a very bright smile.

Yang Qingyin did not refuse or avoid him. She smiled and looked into his eyes. “If you give me a generous reward, I can consider it.”

This boy looked really good when he smiled. His eyes were pure and bright, just like a deep pool. She couldn’t help but want to take a few more glances at him.

“Didn’t I say just now that I will go to Hell and back at your order? This kind of sincerity is enough, right?”

Yang Qingyin sniffled, rolling her eyes. “You’re being shameless. You know that I can’t let people go to Hell and back.”

Afraid that she would refuse, Luo Ziling asked, “Next time we meet, I’ll give you a gift. How about that?”

He immediately explained, “It’s a perfume bag I made myself. There are Chinese medicinal herbs in it, which can be used to strengthen one’s body. The mid-autumn Festival is coming in a few days, so I’ll give it to you as a mid-autumn Festival gift.”

“Then I won’t refuse. I’ll wait for you to bring it to me next time.” Yang Qingyin still accepted it readily.

Luo Ziling was also very happy..
