Young man, please stay

Chapter 292 Call Me Hong Ling
This purchase allowed Qin Lang to truly feel the festive atmosphere and the bustling life of the city that he could not experience when he was in Tianshan Mountain. At the same time, he also gained a lot of knowledge.

For example, before this, Qin Lang had never seen real zongzi.

Due to the influence of a senior sister from Tianshan, Qin Lang's impression of zongzi is that it is very large and heavy, smooth when pinched, and has a rich milky flavor when eaten.

But in fact, I only found out today that real rice dumplings, although also wrapped in rice leaves, are also white and soft, but they are all small.

Ok…

Even though it's small and cute...

"Qin Lang..."

"!"

"What are you looking at…"

"Uh… nothing."

Qin Lang guiltily moved his gaze away from Miss Jin's chest and raised his head, pretending to look at the scenery.

……

After returning home from the street, most of the girls went to take a bath first. Miss Jin also wanted to take a bath, but because Miss Jin lived far away, Qin Lang had nothing to do so he accompanied her.

Although Qin Lang made various hints along the way, such as introducing the benefits of "mandarin duck bath" to Miss Jin in the name of popular science, and even risking eating a dagger to talk about his dual cultivation with Nangong Zhuo.

But the clever girl Jin was unmoved and didn't fall for her boyfriend's tricks.

Thus, Qin Lang's dream of taking a bath with his girlfriend was shattered, and he had to go back to his residence in disappointment.

……

Qin Lang’s current residence is no longer the woodshed where he worked as a servant.

One reason is naturally because his status has been upgraded to a prospective son-in-law. After Su Yinping reconciled with him, she certainly couldn't bear to let her boyfriend suffer with her, the dignified Princess Qingli.

The second reason is naturally because of Zhuo Beibei's existence. How could the former leader of the three sects live in the woodshed with his junior brother?
So now Su Yinping has arranged a brand new large room for Qin Lang.

This room was actually originally the princess's boudoir. For the princess, in such a large mansion, it was already very frugal to have a large boudoir on the east and west sides.

Originally Su Yinping lived in the west room, so the east room was empty.

But now Su Yinping specifically vacated the west room for Qin Lang and Zhuo Beibei, and would rather move to the east room without any trouble.

As for why...

Gu Jin asked this privately, and got an answer that left her speechless, but one that she also vaguely agreed with.

"…East room, east room, it sounds like a 'bridal chamber'… I don't think it's right to let that guy live in the east room with Third Senior Sister… Jin'er, don't you think so?"

"..."

So just like that, Qin Lang now lives in the west room with Zhuo Beibei.

……

Although the location has changed, the distance from Gu Jin's room at the southernmost end has basically not changed.

After Qin Lang came out of Gu Jin's room, he changed his thoughts as he walked.

Since the younger girlfriend is shy and doesn’t want to take a bath together, what about the older girlfriend?

"Silver bottle, let me tell you a story about the Yin Yang bottle. The so-called Yin Yang... hm?"

Qin Lang was thinking about his words when he suddenly felt something was wrong with the aura around him. Almost instinctively, the golden internal force surged into his arms and he raised his palms in a certain direction.

boom!
After a muffled sound, a familiar figure appeared.

"Miss Zhu."

Qin Lang smiled and bowed to the masked girl:

"This opening punch today is so gentle."

"..."

Zhu Hongling didn't say anything. She put her hands behind her back, nodded slightly, and kicked one of her shoes in place:

"Have you... been busy these days?"

"Hmm? Oh... a little bit. It's the Dragon Boat Festival now, and I just went shopping."

"Oh…"

No wonder he wasn't there when I came to look for him...

"What about yesterday? We were at the usual place yesterday... and I didn't see you either. Did you go out, too?"

"Not yesterday, but I was busy with a lot of things."

"Oh... and your senior sister? Is she... gone?"

"Leave? No."

Qin Lang shook his head:

"She is just wandering around now, like a rootless duckweed, so she lives with me in the mansion now."

"Stop...huh?!"

Zhu Hongling was stunned for a moment:

"You and your senior sister... live together?"

"Ah."

"S...sleeping in the same bed!?"

"Uh... yes, well, there are a lot of stories between her and me, I'll tell you when I have time."

"Then you speak now!"

Zhu Hongling immediately helped Mao'er sit on the stone pier nearby:
"I'm listening!"

Now it was Qin Lang's turn to be stunned:

"No fighting today?"

"do not fight."

"..."

This martial arts fanatic girl actually came to him but didn't fight. This was really new. Speaking of new things, Qin Lang also noticed that Zhu Hongling's clothes were different from usual.

In the past, Zhu Hongling always wore a coarse linen robe and a pair of black boots with a Beili style.

But today she was wearing a skirt.

She wore a light blue blouse on the upper body and a light beige pleated long skirt on the lower body. Her small feet were wearing a pair of pink and white embroidered shoes with a few flowers embroidered with silver thread.

Ok…

No wonder I felt something was different about her when we met today...

It didn't matter if he didn't notice it. Once he noticed it, Qin Lang stared at the graceful figure of the girl with a completely new style, and was stunned for a moment.

"Hey! Idiot!"

"?"

"What are you looking at? Are we that good looking?"

"Um…"

Qin Lang nodded seriously:
"nice."

"Tsk~ I'm just changing into my normal clothes, and I'm wearing a mask, and you say I look good..."

No one could see the girl's expression under the mask, but they could tell her tone was much lighter than when she came.

She patted another stone block beside her:

"Come on, tell me about you and your senior sister."

"To be precise, it's the Third Senior Sister."

"You have three senior sisters? Which sect are you from?"

"Nobody..."

……

Qin Lang walked over and sat side by side with Zhu Hongling, and told her his story since he came down from Tianshan Mountain.

Of course, Qin Lang was not in a position to reveal some important information, such as Zhuo Beibei's identity as the founder of the Tianhe Sect, and he just passed it over.

……

Before they knew it, the two of them had stayed together until the sun set.

Qin Lang's mouth was dry from talking, but Zhu Hongling listened very carefully, so much so that when Qin Lang couldn't speak anymore, she was still reluctant to let him go:

"Stay with me...ah no...talk to me for a little longer."

"It's getting dark, and my throat is burning... Let's do it another day."

"Then tomorrow!"

Zhu Hongling stood up and clinked her fists with [Demon Cry] on them twice:

"Are you going to be busy tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, so it will definitely happen."

"..."

Zhu Hongling fell silent, and her hands slowly fell down. Qin Lang didn't know if it was an illusion, but even though he couldn't see her face, he still inexplicably felt a deep depression from the girl, so he subconsciously said:

"But! But tomorrow... probably around this time, we'll be done with our work."

Zhu Hongling raised her head:
"That means…"

"Well, I'll continue to tell you tomorrow."

"Yeah! Then let's come at the same time tomorrow~!"

"Okay."

"Then we'll leave first today."

"Ah."

"..."

"?"

"..."

Something is wrong.

In the past, Ben Lei would leave as soon as he said he would, but today, why is he still hesitating and hesitating?

Fortunately, Qin Lang was very smart and immediately caught the girl's thoughts. He couldn't help but smile and said:

"Zhu Hongling, you..."

"Call me Hong Ling!"

"?"

"No... no, because... you see, your name is Qin Lang, which is two characters, and my name is three characters, and Miss Zhu is also three characters, so... it's quite troublesome to call it, it's more convenient to call it with two characters, so..."

Zhu Hongling spoke hesitantly, and her hands made more small movements than ever before, sometimes poking each other with their fingers, and sometimes pinching each other, which made Qin Lang want to laugh, so he shouted decisively:
"Hong Ling."

Zhu Hongling stopped her little movements and lowered her head to respond:
"Um…"

"I just want to say that your outfit today, um, although it is just a casual outfit for you, but this is the first time I've seen it, I think... it's... very beautiful."

"…real?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

Qin Lang spread his hands, and then his eyes lit up:
"Then when can you take off the mask?"

"mask…"

Zhu Hongling thought for a moment:

"Okay, when you finish telling your story one day, I'll take off the mask~"

After saying this, Zhu Hongling stepped forward and really left.
