Chapter 234 - 234 Why Play Tricks?

Luo Ziling, worried Yang Qingyin might get tired, suggested going back after strolling on the grassland for about an hour.

Yang Qingyin, still full of enthusiasm, was a little surprised that Luo Ziling would take the initiative to suggest going back to sleep.

“Don’t tire yourself out, we still have many days of vacation left,” Luo Ziling said with a smile as he explained his reasoning.

Yang Qingyin also broke into a smile, “Alright then, let’s head back.”

This young man is really considerate. Being with him, the feeling just keeps getting better.

However, after walking for a while, Yang Qingyin started to play a little trick.

“Ouch,” she slipped and immediately clutched Luo Ziling’s hand tightly.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Ziling instantly became anxious.

“Just twisted my foot a bit,” Yang Qingyin said, shaking her head with embarrassment, “It’s fine, I can walk slower.”

“Let me take a look,” Luo Ziling said as he crouched down and asked Yang Qingyin to lift her foot.

“It’s really nothing,” Yang Qingyin said, a bit embarrassed, “I can manage to walk back.”

“Don’t be stubborn,” Luo Ziling signaled for Yang Qingyin to lift her foot.

After Yang Qingyin lifted her foot, he took off her sneaker and then her sock, carefully examining it.

After checking, Luo Ziling also tenderly massaged her foot.

Yang Qingyin felt a warm and comfortable sensation spreading from her foot with Luo Ziling’s massage, and she couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.

“It doesn’t seem to be anything serious,” Luo Ziling said after massaging Yang Qingyin’s foot for a while, and then he put her socks and shoes back on, “Let’s take another look once we’re back.”

“Mm,” Yang Qingyin nodded shyly, feeling a bit regretful for having played a trick on Luo Ziling.

Actually, she hadn’t twisted her ankle at all; she just wanted to see how Luo Ziling would react.

“Come on, junior brother’s shoulders are at your service,” Luo Ziling said after putting Yang Qingyin’s shoes and socks back on, crouched down in front of her, and gestured for her to climb on.

“No, I can walk by myself,” Yang Qingyin felt overjoyed inside, but she outwardly declined.

“There’s no charge, I’m offering a free porter service,” Luo Ziling turned around, grabbed Yang Qingyin’s hand, pulled her onto his back, and before she could struggle, he had her up on his shoulders.

Yang Qingyin let out a light gasp and stopped resisting, obediently resting on his shoulders.

It wasn’t the first time she rode on Luo Ziling’s back, so Yang Qingyin wasn’t too shy.

After walking for a bit, Luo Ziling suddenly said, “Senior sister, if you wanted a piggyback ride, just say it, why the trickery?”

“Ah?! ” Yang Qingyin, not expecting to be seen through by Luo Ziling, immediately blushed.

“Senior sister, don’t lean back too much. I’m worried you’ll fall off and break your cute little butt into four pieces,” Luo Ziling said, turning his head to give Yang Qingyin a mischievous smile.

“Hate you, hate you, hate you,” Yang Qingyin, a bit annoyed and embarrassed, balled up her fists and pounded Luo Ziling’s shoulder a few times before saying hatefully, “You’re so annoying.”

“Eh, how am I annoying?” Luo Ziling looked back in feigned surprise, “Offering you a free porter service, and you’re still not satisfied?”

“Keep mocking me, and I’ll bite you,” Yang Qingyin said, wrapping her arms around his neck and threatening menacingly in his ear.

“Alright then, I’ll keep silent and focus on being a mute.”

Yang Qingyin giggled again.

On the way back to the hotel, with Luo Ziling carrying her on his back, she was very mischievous, occasionally blowing on his neck or tickling him with her hair, and suddenly yelling something into his ear.

“Senior sister, if you keep being naughty, you’ll get your butt spanked,” Luo Ziling warned, raising his hand in a threatening gesture.

Yang Qingyin, however, didn’t take it seriously and reached out to tug on Luo Ziling’s ears.

With a “smack,” Luo Ziling finally retaliated, gently hitting Yang Qingyin’s bottom.

Yang Qingyin trembled and her face flushed with embarrassment, “Did you really hit me?”

“That’s what you get for being so mischievous,” Luo Ziling laughed as he turned his head to the side.

“I want to be mischievous,” she declared, and suddenly pecked Luo Ziling on the cheek, then quickly tugged on his ear again, “Remember, no hitting me from now on, or I’ll transform you into the second senior brother.”

“Alright, alright, I surrender, merciful lady knight, please spare me,” Luo Ziling raised both hands.

Yang Qingyin immediately burst into giggles, utterly delighted.

The two of them bantered and laughed all the way back to the hotel.

As they were walking back to the hotel, Luo Ziling, with his sharp eyes, spotted Ye Xiaoli’s figure not too far behind them.

He then realized that the taciturn female bodyguard had been following them all along.

Thinking about how Xiaoli must have witnessed all their intimate moments made Luo Ziling feel a bit embarrassed.

After entering the town, he finally put Yang Qingyin down.

The two then stopped by a roadside fruit store and bought a heap of fruit, ending up with Luo Ziling carrying several bags while Yang Qingyin walked empty-handed into the hotel.

When they got back to the hotel, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin entered the room the two women were staying in and began eating fruit.

A short while after they entered the room, Ye Xiaoli also returned.

“Xiaoli, this is some roast lamb for you. There’s an oven in the room. It’ll taste better if you heat it up,” Luo Ziling admired Xiaoli’s loyal bodyguard service and the fact that she hadn’t disturbed their romantic moments, so he promptly invited her to eat. “There’s also fruit, we just bought it. Come and enjoy some with us.”

“Thank you,” Xiaoli said expressionlessly, but did not come over to eat.

Seeing this, Luo Ziling took a food container, warmed up the roast lamb for Xiaoli, and then brought it over to her, inviting warmly, “Come on, it tastes quite good.”

“Don’t refuse his kind offer,” Yang Qingyin said softly from her seat.

Xiaoli then accepted the food container without further refusal and began to eat slowly.

Luo Ziling also fetched her some fruit, which, after thanking him, Xiaoli did not refuse either.

When Luo Ziling sat back down next to Yang Qingyin, she gave him an approving smile.

She didn’t expect Luo Ziling to be so warm to Xiaoli, who always wore an emotionless face.

For his first day of travel, the young man had indeed performed quite well.

After eating some food and chatting for a while, Luo Ziling stood up, “It’s getting late, we should rest early. I’m going to bed as well.”

Yang Qingyin, who was still chatting with Luo Ziling, looked at the time and saw it was already past nine o’clock and felt a bit tired, so she didn’t insist on staying up.

“Alright then, sleep early. We’re getting up early tomorrow to go horseback riding,” she said to Luo Ziling, with a gentle smile.

“This trip will definitely teach you how to ride a horse,” Luo Ziling replied with a bright smile.

But neither Yang Qingyin nor Luo Ziling expected that the following day’s activities wouldn’t be as wonderful as they thought…
