Capítulo 2019: Chapter 2019: Paying Respects to the Heroes
After the two left the teahouse, they walked hand in hand back to Yang Qingyin’s place.
Luo Ziling had a change of clothes here, so he could stay over anyti.
On the way to Yang Qingyin’s place, Luo Ziling sent a ssage to Ling Ruonan, saying he wouldn’t be ho tonight.
“Be safe!!!” Ling Ruonan replied with a ssage, adding three exclamation marks.
Luo Ziling knew exactly what Ling Ruonan ant by “Be safe,” and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
It seed Ling Ruonan thought he and Yang Qingyin had already reached that stage in their relationship.
He found it hard to explain, so he didn’t reply, essentially accepting it.
Yang Qingyin was very considerate of Luo Ziling, saying he must be tired, suggesting he go to bed early, and she got him so pajamas.
“How about we take a bath together? I’ll scrub your back!” Luo Ziling said with a smile as he looked at Yang Qingyin.
Yang Qingyin blushed imdiately but ultimately refused, “I’m not bathing with you, you troublemaker.”
Yang Qingyin knew that if she bathed with Luo Ziling, sothing would definitely happen.
Luo Ziling’s body hadn’t fully recovered yet, so it wasn’t convenient for them to engage in such activities. They both thought it better to restrain themselves rather than be tempted.
In the end, Yang Qingyin went to bathe first, and Luo Ziling planned to shower after her.
Yang Qingyin needed to wash her long hair, which took a while to dry.
After Yang Qingyin finished her bath, Luo Ziling helped her dry her hair and even gave her a massage.
During the massage, he naturally took so liberties, which made Yang Qingyin weak all over.
However, she managed to stay rational and didn’t tempt Luo Ziling, instead urging him to go shower.
When Luo Ziling ca out of the shower, she pretended to be asleep, lying on her side, ignoring him.
Luo Ziling assud she’d really fallen asleep during his massage, so he didn’t disturb her.
He was a bit tired himself, so he didn’t fuss and went to bed.
When Luo Ziling woke up the next day, he found that Yang Qingyin had snuggled into his arms.
Yang Qingyin was still asleep when Luo Ziling opened his eyes, she looked peaceful, her long eyelashes fluttering gently—a sight of indescribable beauty. Luo Ziling didn’t move, just watched her quietly.
The feeling of warm breath in his arms was really wonderful.
Being able to watch her sleep so closely, Luo Ziling felt a happiness that ca from being trusted by soone.
He didn’t know how long it had been when Yang Qingyin’s eyelashes fluttered more intensely, and she slowly opened her eyes.
The mont she opened her eyes, she looked confused, as if she didn’t recognize Luo Ziling.
This look was incredibly cute, and Luo Ziling couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her affectionately.
Yang Qingyin was startled for a mont but eventually reached out, hugging Luo Ziling tightly and responding submissively.
After a bout of tenderness, Yang Qingyin once again lay soft in Luo Ziling’s arms.
Feeling Luo Ziling’s morning reaction, she felt a bit shy.
Afraid Luo Ziling couldn’t resist, she used the excuse of going to the bathroom to escape his embrace.
But after staying in the bathroom for a while, she snuggled back into Luo Ziling’s arms.
The feeling of being held by Luo Ziling while sleeping was really nice, she was a bit attached to this place that felt both safe and warm.
The two lingered for more than an hour before getting up.
After getting up, Yang Qingyin called Yang Yuanshan, asking if he was free today.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yuanshan refused to have Luo Ziling co for a check-up today, “Today is Qingming, let’s do it another day!”
“Oh, it turns out today is Qingming Festival, I forgot in my sleepiness.” Luo Ziling felt a bit embarrassed.
“I rembered yesterday during the day that today is Qingming Festival, but forgot last night,” Yang Qingyin also felt a bit embarrassed.
At that ti, Ling Ruonan called Luo Ziling, asking him to co ho for dinner tonight.
“Mom prepared so Qingming foods, green dumplings made with mugwort, they’re delicious!” Ling Ruonan told Luo Ziling, during the day she had things to handle: visiting Ling Jinhua for a chat, then seeing Ling Mingrui and his wife, she gave Luo Ziling free ti, “But do make sure to co back for dinner.”
Luo Ziling naturally agreed.
“Should we go sowhere to have so fun today?” With Ling Ruonan busy and not having to see Yang Yuanshan, Luo Ziling felt he had nothing to do, so he asked Yang Qingyin, “Otherwise, it would be a waste of a great day.”
“Where do you want to go?” Yang Qingyin naturally wanted to go on an outing with Luo Ziling. She originally planned to shop and play around with Luo Ziling in the morning, and after lunch, help check on her grandpa’s health. Since she didn’t need to do that, and Luo Ziling was only going ho for dinner, she was more than happy to go out together.
Where to go wasn’t very important. What mattered was being able to be with Luo Ziling.
The two had been apart for so many days, even though they chatted on WeChat or had video calls every day, they ultimately weren’t together.
A brief parting is sweet, like a new marriage—both Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin wanted to be snugly together.
“Today is Qingming Festival, a day to rember those who ca before us. Shouldn’t we find a place worth our rembrance?” Luo Ziling suggested.
“When you went to Jinling, you visited the Massacre morial Hall. I suppose you had a lot of reflections. Why not continue your unfinished rembrance today? Shall we go to the Anti-Japanese War morial Hall?”
Yang Qingyin’s suggestion imdiately lit up Luo Ziling’s eyes, “Sure, let’s visit the Anti-Japanese War morial Hall then!”
Yang Qingyin smiled brightly, she felt a connection with Luo Ziling on many things.
Today was no exception.
She believed that Luo Ziling would definitely want to visit such a place.
And Luo Ziling felt that Yang Qingyin’s thought of visiting the Anti-Japanese War morial Hall showed she understood his thoughts; other won might not have thought of it.
So, Luo Ziling instructed Wuyue to prepare the car, and everyone went to visit the Anti-Japanese War morial Hall to pay tribute to the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the war to defend the country.
But just as they were about to leave, Luo Ziling received a call from Lin Lan.
“You’re back in Yanjing, right? I’m coming to see you, there’s sothing I need to discuss with you!” Lin Lan spoke straightforwardly as always.
“I was just about to head out!” When Lin Lan called, Luo Ziling was already sitting in the car, with Wuyue having started it, so he felt a bit stuck.
Lin Lan paused for a mont before asking, “Where are you going?”
“I want to visit the Anti-Japanese War morial Hall to pay tribute to those heroes who died fighting the invaders. Isn’t today Qingming Festival?” Luo Ziling’s explanation gave Lin Lan on the other end of the call a brief pause.
After a mont of silence, she softly said, “Could you wait for a bit? I’d like to join you!”
Without waiting for Luo Ziling’s response, she added a few more words, “I’m a soldier, and I admire those martyrs who sacrificed for the country!”
Luo Ziling glanced at Yang Qingyin sitting next to him, pretending not to care but clearly eavesdropping, and eventually agreed helplessly, “Okay!”
