Chapter 41: The Night Wandering

That night, Yu Yang was still the last to leave the garment bureau, packed up her things and prepared to go back to Ryan City, only to find that the vivid fan was still on her desk. She glanced at the fan, turned her head to leave, but took two steps back to the table and tucked it into her belt.

On a spring night, the air is covered with a soft rain mist that you won't get wet even if you don't have an umbrella. She looked up at the street lamps in the distance that were dimly lit in the rain and fog, and she couldn't help but sigh deeply when she thought of the events of this morning and the obvious alienation from her this day. But when she thought of Shi Yan's full support, she smiled comfortingly.

Walking in the cool rain and mist, she had a question lingering in her heart - what was the lifelight fan on her waist, and why it had brought disaster, but she had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with it.

Walking outside the gate of Yayu City, the car that picked her up on weekdays was still waiting for her, and she didn't even change the location of the park, which made her feel deeply relieved. She opened the door with a smile and sat in the back seat, and while putting away her painting tools, she said to the driver: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long, thank you." ”

"It's been a long time."

"Huh?"

Hearing a familiar voice and this unreasonable answer, Yu Yang felt strange, looked up, and found that the person sitting in the front seat was not the driver who came to pick her up on weekdays, but Ling Tian, who had already changed into a regular uniform. He held the steering wheel with one hand, looked at her from the rearview mirror, and smiled a little smugly: "Why are you so slow?" ”

Yu Yang, who was startled by the sudden appearance of Ling Tian, leaned forward in surprise, Ling Tian also turned to look at her, and looked at each other for a long time before Yu Yang asked in surprise: "Why are you!" Why are you here? ”

Ling Tian asked her mysteriously: "Do you want to go to Xunli to play?" ”

"Turbidity? Now, but it's already nine o'clock, and it seems like I won't go back...... Not quite right? ”

"You wake up every day and come to Yayu City, and when you finish work, you go back to Ruian City to sleep, don't you feel bored?"

Being reminded by Ling Tian, Yuyang found that her life was so boring, she watched the bustle of the turbidity city on the balcony every day, and she had long been yearning for it, and today she finally had the opportunity to participate in it, thinking of this, she nodded excitedly.

I saw Ling Tian throw a silver-gray cloak from the co-pilot to her, and then started the car and said, "Wait and put on this, the Yao costume is too conspicuous." ”

Yuyang happily took the cloak and looked at the scenery in front of the car expectantly, excited for the "adventure" in the coming night.

The car went all the way towards the turbid city, this ordinary car was far less comfortable than the modified car of Ling Tian, and she sat in the back row, as usual, she could only close her eyes and rest on the seat, Ling Tian saw her like this, and asked: "Are you very sleepy?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Ling Tian's inquiry, Yu Yang hurriedly opened his eyes, raised a confused smile and said, "No, I'm always dizzy when I ride in the car, so I close my eyes and rest." ”

"But you weren't sick last time." Ling Tian slowed down the car, hoping that she would feel better, "By the way, what did you eat at night?" I want to take you for some supper, I don't know if you can eat it. ”

As soon as Ling Tian finished asking, Yu Yang's stomach coincidentally gurgled, and there was silence in the air for a while, Ling Tian snickered, and was patted on the back of the chair by Yu Yang: "What's so funny!" ”

"It's just past dinner time, and you're already hungry?"

"I ......" Yu Yang was afraid that Ling Tian would be worried, so he didn't dare to say more, but Ling Tian seemed to realize something, put away his smile, and asked worriedly: "You won't ...... Haven't had dinner yet? ”

was exposed, and Yu Yang had no choice but to recruit from the truth: "Hmm...... Lunch is arranged at the garment office, but dinner is usually served at 6 o'clock after everyone returns to their respective accommodations. ”

"So you haven't had dinner all this time?" Ling Tian's tone was a little anxious, and when he heard that he seemed to be in a hurry, Yu Yang hurriedly explained: "No, no!" As soon as I arrived at Anming Building, Xiaoqing would take me to eat! ”

"What about when Xiaoqing is away?"

"This ......"

Ling Tian was a little angry, angry that she didn't know how to take care of herself, and even more angry that he didn't find a safe person to take care of her earlier, and let her be so nonsense.

Speaking of Xiaoqing, Yuyang remembered that she hadn't thanked the "benefactor" in front of her: "I haven't thanked you yet, I really didn't expect to see Xiaoqing again, and I didn't expect her to continue to accompany me." So you started helping me so early, but I can't help you, I ......"

"If you can take care of yourself, you're helping me." Ling Tian replied like this, not only worried that she was one of the most important people in the country, and her health was the first priority, but also out of distress for her, hoping that she could listen to her and put herself first in everything.

Seeing that Ling Tian was so worried, Yu Yang was a little annoyed, she raised a smile and promised Ling Tian loudly: "Okay, I promise you!" I'll be well fed every day from today! Don't stop me when you get off the bus, I'm going to eat a lot! Saying that, Yu Yang groped around on her body, and with difficulty turned out the coin bag that Xiaoqing helped her hide, and raised it to Ling Tian's side to "show off her might", which made Ling Tian, who was still angry, laugh.

The car stopped next to a lively night market street in the north of the city, Yuyang put on a cloak and a hood, looking like a poncho in the drizzle, not eye-catching, walking in the crowd with Ling Tian, who was dressed in regular clothes, no one noticed the difference between them.

Although she had been to the city with Ling Tian once, she didn't expect it to be so lively even at night - the night market has more street lamps than elsewhere, one by one close to each other, and the top of the lamp pole is also connected with warm lights, so that the whole street is like a fire dragon lying in the night. The lights are hot, and the fireworks at the stalls are steaming, and I feel the warmth of walking here before I have eaten the hot food.

She had never seen anything like it, and she was so curious about everything that she thought the shops were closing before dark, growing up on Nimbyongdao Island.

"Do you have anything you'd like to eat?" Ling Tian asked her.

When asked about eating by Ling Tian, she felt her stomach empty again, but she looked around but there were some unfamiliar foods, such as spicy fried rice cakes, beef hot pot, and dry roasted duck, and she said embarrassedly: "Hmm...... Whatever, right? I'm always eating what everyone eats. ”

Ling Tian remembered that she seemed to have said that she mostly ate seafood on Nianping Island, he thought of a stall that made grilled fish, led her to the stall, and asked the boss for a share, and when he was about to pay, Yuyang had already stuffed the money in the boss's hand, trotted to the wooden table and wooden chair on the side to sit down, and beckoned Ling Tian to come over.

Yu Yang said while taking the dishes and chopsticks for him, "How do you know I want to eat fish?" I have hardly eaten much fish since I arrived in Ruian City, and there used to be fish in Nianping Island, and I couldn't eat the fish monster when I left home. ”

"But this is a river fish, and it should be different from a sea fish."

"It should ...... It won't be too bad, right? ”

"If you like sea fish, let the clothing and food room open a cargo route to Nanlang in the future and deliver it every day."

Hearing this, Yu Yang was stunned and wanted to refuse quickly, but realized that Ling Tian had taken care of her to such an extent, and he didn't know how to reply to his concern for a while.

And Ling Tian also saw that she didn't answer for a long time, so he realized that he seemed to care too much, and looked around to make amends: "I...... I mean, a lot of people in Ryan City are Qingmo people, and there must be some who like sea fish as much as you do, and eating sea fish may ease their homesickness. ”

Listening to Ling Tian's explanation, Yuyang was embarrassed, thinking that she was thinking too much, but fortunately, the boss's fish was already ready, and it was served on the table, she was busy raising her chopsticks to start, although it was not as good as the flavor of sea fish, it was also a rare delicacy in this foreign land.

A large grilled river fish served two bowls of fragrant and soft white rice, Yuyang ate it with a round stomach, and breathed a sigh of satisfaction, seeing her so happy, Ling Tian was also infected by her, and looked at her full and drunk, and laughed at her: "It seems that it is our Ruian City who has not taken good care of you and starved you." ”

Yu Yang smiled embarrassedly and changed the topic and asked, "Then are you going back now?" ”

"I want to take you somewhere."

"Where?"

Ling Tian didn't speak, just smiled, led her to say goodbye to the boss and walked back to the night market street, through an inconspicuous alley, to a high wall, Yu Yang looked up and saw that it was a temple-like place, and there was a bell tower five or six stories high.

"What is this?"

Without waiting for Yu Yang to ask, Ling Tian had already stepped lightly on the wall and sat on the wall more than one person high, and Yu Yang was dumbfounded.

"You, you, you! How did you get there? ”

Seeing that her mouth opened wide in surprise, Ling Tian thought it was funny, and turned her wrist to send a gust of wind towards Yuyang, blowing her hood off.

"It's ...... Spiritual power? ”

"yes, come here, I'll bring you up."

"Huh?" Yu Yang was suspicious, cautiously walked under the wall, and Ling Tian, who was sitting on the wall, stretched out his right hand to her, and his left hand was already holding a cloud of qi hanging in the air.

Seeing her hesitation, Ling Tian urged again: "Give me your hand." ”

She tilted her head and saw him backlit in the rain and fog under the street lamp, sitting on the high wall and stretching out his hand to her, the face that was not close to her on weekdays was smiling brightly at the moment, just like the moonlight falling into the mortal world on this rainy night, which was only her tenderness.

She had to admit that she didn't have much confidence in such spiritual power, and she was even more afraid that the two of them would fall from this high wall together, but she still chose to believe him and held his hand.

He didn't live up to Yu Yang's trust, and the moment he pulled her up, he used the wind spirit to support her feet, and let her sit on the wall steadily, without any effort, even Yu Yang himself didn't know how she came up.

Seeing that she was sitting firmly on the wall, Ling Tian turned over and jumped into the other side of the wall, and stretched out his hand to her again: "Jump down." ”

"Do you want to jump? Such a high ......" Yu Yang hadn't recovered from the amazing experience just now, and he was still a little worried at the thought of landing again from such a high place.

"Don't be afraid, I'll catch you."

She moved forward a little cautiously, hesitantly stretched out her hand, and Ling Tian grabbed her hand tightly, pulled her down from the wall, and wrapped her other hand around her waist while she was still in the air, and held her tightly in his arms.

The moment he fell from a height, Yuyang's skirt flew up in the air, and his long hair danced with the fluttering cloak, and he held her in half a circle in the direction of landing, releasing the force of her falling from a height, so that she landed unscathed from the wall more than one person high, but still hugged her tightly. Her body was warm, and she hugged his soft arms like a kitten because she was afraid, and her hair floated beside his neck, softly hooking his neck, cool, but as if quietly kissing behind his ear.

He looked into her eyes, watching the horror in her eyes turn to surprise, and finally at the blush welling up on her fair face, the shy ambiguity in her round eyes, her peach-like soft face less than an inch in front of him, and he could even feel her breathing, and hear a strained and frantic heartbeat. At this moment, he wanted to get closer, just a little bit, but reason still ordered him to carefully let go of his embrace, reluctantly, a little bit away from the faint fragrance on her body.
