Chapter 145 It Really Is Troublesome for a Woman to Be Too Beautiful

Yang Qingyin’s appetite was actually quite small; she ordered a lot of dishes, but she didn’t eat much herself.

Most of the food ended up in Luo Ziling’s stomach.

He was already hungry, and, not wishing to tolerate any waste, he finished every plate, leaving them all upside down.

“Are you full?” Seeing Luo Ziling eating so happily, Yang Qingyin asked with a smile, “If you’re not full, I can order more dishes, or some staples!”

“I’m stuffed, my stomach is bursting. I just didn’t want to waste anything,” Luo Ziling said, patting his rounded belly and commenting, “It’s my first time eating seafood, and it feels really good; the taste is indeed pretty nice!”

“I’ll take you to the seaside next time, so you can have your fill.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling immediately agreed, “That’s a promise, when will you take me to the seaside for seafood? As long as you are treating, I’ll just eat to my heart’s content!”

“My memory is quite good—I won’t forget what I’ve promised,” Yang Qingyin said, rolling her eyes at Luo Ziling, “Just that I can’t be sure about a certain junior’s memory!”

“A certain junior’s memory happens to be much better than a certain senior who believes she has a very good memory!”

This tongue-twisting phrase made Yang Qingyin burst into laughter.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two left the hotel.

“It seems we didn’t pay?” As they were leaving, Luo Ziling suddenly remembered something and said in surprise, “We didn’t dine and dash, did we?”

“How could we possibly dine and dash?” Seeing Luo Ziling’s perplexed expression, Yang Qingyin immediately grabbed his hand and walked him out, “I already settled the bill, so don’t worry about it!”

“I see,” Luo Ziling replied with a relieved sigh, holding Yang Qingyin’s hand tightly, “Then, let’s go to the square and have some fun!”

So, the two headed to the nearby subway station and took the subway to Tianan Gate Square.

At this time, the subway was quite crowded; there were no seats available when they boarded, so they had to stand.

They hid in a corner of the car, standing face to face, with Luo Ziling shielding Yang Qingyin from other people’s gazes.

Although they were wearing glasses, their extraordinary temperament and tall figures still attracted a lot of attention.

But neither of them paid any attention to the gazes of those around them.

After getting off the subway, they simply took off their glasses and showed their true faces to the public.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman together naturally drew a lot of attention, and even some subway staff couldn’t help but stare at them incessantly.

“Being too beautiful really is troublesome for women, right?” Seeing that many people were looking at them, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but tease Yang Qingyin, “Look, everyone’s staring at you, and even I’m getting attention by association, which is quite flattering.”

“Why don’t you say it’s because you’re so handsome that people are looking at us?” Yang Qingyin asked playfully, still being led by the hand.

“I’m well aware of my own limits, and,” Luo Ziling smiled modestly, “I also know I’m not all that handsome!”

“Oh please,” Yang Qingyin couldn’t help but give him a disdainful look, “That doesn’t seem like your character at all!”

“And what do you think my character is like?”

“How would I know?” Yang Qingyin smirked cunningly, “I’m not that familiar with you.”

“Right, we’re indeed not close; we’ve only known each other for a few days!” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but grin.

Truly, they had only known each other for a few days.

However, they quickly became close after meeting, and one day, after holding hands for no apparent reason, their relationship turned into what it was then.

Looking back, Luo Ziling himself found it hard to believe—how could his relationship with someone have progressed so quickly?

He also couldn’t imagine that he would be so bold. They had known each other for only a few days, and yet, he dared to hold Yang Qingyin’s hand. He struggled to recall the first time he had taken her hand; somehow it had just happened, and she hadn’t refused. Since then, it had become very natural.

Going out together once had quickly closed the distance between them—that was what Luo Ziling concluded after some thought.

If they really went out together during the National Day holiday, what would their relationship turn into then?

At the thought of this question, Luo Ziling couldn’t help his heart racing.

When Luo Ziling said that he wasn’t familiar with her, Yang Qingyin huffed, freed her hand, and ran ahead on her own.

After running a few steps, she called back to Luo Ziling, “Junior, hurry up, will you? Why are you walking slower than me!”

Luo Ziling quickly caught up and still held Yang Qingyin’s hand as they continued walking forward.

Soon, they had left the subway station and arrived directly at the plaza.

Even though it wasn’t a weekend or a holiday, the plaza was still crowded.

After passing through the underground passageway into the plaza, they were greeted by a bustling scene of people coming and going.

“I’ve only seen it on TV before; standing here today, I’m a bit excited,” Luo Ziling said sentimentally, looking at the buildings that often appeared on the screen, “Do I look a bit like a country bumpkin?”

“It’s nothing strange to be excited on your first visit here; after all, this is the heart of Huaxia,” Yang Qingyin said with a smile, “You’ll get used to it after you come more often.”

“Can we go up there in the evening?” Luo Ziling asked, pointing at the gate tower, “I really want to check it out. I bet the view of the plaza from up there is pretty nice.”

Seeing Luo Ziling eagerly pointing at Tianan Gate, Yang Qingyin didn’t make fun of him, but gently suggested, “You can go up there during the day. Why don’t we come back some day in the daytime?”

“Then, let’s just walk around and enjoy the sights today,” Luo Ziling said, eyes still fixed on the gate tower, sentimentally, “One day when it’s light out, we should properly explore the Forbidden City. I’ve never been to the palace where the emperor lived. I want to go see the palaces of the Ming and Qing dynasties!”

“I’ve been there at least five times!” Yang Qingyin extended five slender fingers.

“How about hiring you as a tour guide one day?”

“What’s the payment?”

“You can have anything you want, as long as I have it!”

“Really?”

“Really!”

Yang Qingyin didn’t say anything more, but just smiled happily at Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling also said nothing, looking at Yang Qingyin with a brilliant smile.

Standing opposite each other, they laughed foolishly for a while. In that laughter, they both saw a different sentiment in each other’s eyes.

Continuing to hold hands, they wandered aimlessly, chatting casually as they did.

Yang Qingyin patiently explained to Luo Ziling facts about the world’s largest square they were beside, and Luo Ziling listened intently.

Just as they leisurely strolled hand in hand, a very surprised voice came from behind them: “Sister, Qingyin??”

Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin turned their heads almost simultaneously.

They saw a handsome young man, closely matching their age, holding hands with a rather pretty girl, staring at them in astonishment.

Upon seeing the young man, Yang Qingyin’s expression changed immediately, and she wriggled her hand out of Luo Ziling’s grasp.
