Chapter 90 Sleeping Beauty
The man in the photo had brown hair and blue eyes. Yu Qin held up the camera and looked around before he found his target in the crowd.
The man noticed his gaze and turned around, frowning and staring at him through the camera. After staring at each other for less than a second, the man took a step forward and walked straight towards Yu Qin.
"Where's Louis?" the man stopped and asked in English.
The man was about the same height as Jiang Yanyu, and ten centimeters taller than Yu Qin, giving off a very oppressive vibe. Yu Qin coughed, pretending not to understand, and stammered, "Sorry, I don't know English."
The man glanced at him, his gaze as sharp as a knife, filled with disdain, then turned around and walked towards the spiral staircase.
Yu Qin said in his heart, "God bless me, Amitabha", then raised his foot and followed him quietly.
The man took a few steps and noticed Yu Qin's movements. With annoyance in his eyes, he turned around and asked, "Louis asked you to follow me?"
Yu Qin didn't reply, but shook his head tremblingly, still pretending not to understand.
The man frowned and stared at Yu Qin for a moment without saying a word. He sneered disdainfully and ignored him, continuing to walk towards the spiral staircase.
Different from Yu Qin's slow tracking, Luo Qinglin was pulled and kept running, running up the spiral staircase in three or two steps.
The castle was built high and covered a large area. Apart from the first floor which was a wide hall and several shabby storage rooms, the second to fifth floors were corridors and large rooms.
Jiang Yanyu ran to the fourth floor in one breath, turned a corner, and took Luo Qinglin to the corridor.
The castle was built a long time ago, and the wood of the corridor has long been corroded by time. When people step on it, it immediately makes a creaking sound as if it can't bear the weight.
"How long will it take?" Luo Qinglin asked breathlessly.
"We're here." Jiang Yanyu turned to a dark red solid wooden door and pushed it open.
There was a faint musty smell in the room. As soon as the door was opened, fine dust blew in, choking Luo Qinglin and causing him to cover his mouth and nose and cough.
Jiang Yanyu closed the door and turned on the light, and the surroundings became bright.
The room was neither big nor small, about 10 square meters. In the center was a large bed with floral sheets, and in the southeast corner there was a tall black wooden wardrobe. Apart from these two things, there was nothing else in the room.
The wooden boards in the room were also very old and creaked when stepped on. Luo Qinglin stood on tiptoe, walked lightly and asked in a low voice: "Where is this?"
Jiang Yanyu walked to the cabinet, grasped the rusty handrail, and opened the cabinet door. "My room."
The closet was empty except for a secret door embedded in the wall. Jiang Yanyu pulled the door gently and it opened.
When the secret door opened, a series of bell rings came from inside the door, as clear as the bells in the wind on Christmas Eve.
Jiang Yanyu took out a towel from his pocket, wiped the dust from the bottom of the cabinet, held the secret door frame with one hand, and rushed in like a bird.
Soon, a bright light came from the secret door, shining brightly, as if countless colored lights were shining at the same time.
"Come in quickly." Jiang Yanyu stretched out his hand from the secret door and handed it to Luo Qinglin.
Luo Qinglin looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling. Instead of hiding directly in the closet, he walked to the door and turned on the light first.
When the lights went out, the room suddenly became dark, with only colorful light diffused in the cabinet, which leaked out through the cabinet door, like the strange light after the door to another world was opened.
In the dim light, Luo Qinglin followed the flowing light, walked to the cabinet door, slowly stretched out his hand, and placed his hand on Jiang Yanyu's palm.
Boom!
A huge force hit Luo Qinglin, who was pulled into the closet. He flew into the door of the "other world", passed through the secret door, and fell directly into Jiang Yanyu's arms.
The space was filled with a strong minty scent, as if the scent of Jiang Yanyu had been amplified several times and lingering in the air.
Luo Qinglin raised his head and looked around.
The space inside the secret door was very small, less than four square meters. The floor was covered with pillows without any gaps. Colorful lights were hung everywhere on the walls, like bright blooming flowers, colorful and gorgeous.
Golden bells and tiny diamonds are hung under each colorful lamp. The light is refracted and reflected, casting ripple-like traces on the wall.
"Do you like it here?" Jiang Yanyu stood up while holding Luo Qinglin, took a pillow and placed it behind him.
The space was too small, and Luo Qinglin could touch the wall if he stretched his hands slightly, so he had to put his hands on Jiang Yanyu's shoulders to maintain balance.
Luo Qinglin nodded and asked, "Did you live here before?"
"A long time ago, I occasionally lived here." Jiang Yanyu replied.
This manor belongs to Starla's father, and Jiang Yanyu lived here a long time ago.
In other words... this manor may have originally belonged to Alina, but after her death it was transferred to her husband's name?
After coming to Paris, Luo Qinglin gradually got a glimpse of Jiang Yanyu's past. His curiosity had been aroused, but he had never dared to ask.
Is Bai Shengyun aware of what happened in the past?
Should he ask Bai Shengyun secretly, or ask Jiang Yanyu directly?
When Luo Qinglin thought of the photos of Bai Shengyun wearing women's clothing that he sent him a few days ago, he immediately gave up the idea of asking Silly Roe Deer.
Bai Shengyun is too stupid. He might be betrayed as soon as he asks.
Luo Qinglin moved his eyes to the small bells and asked carefully, "Did you arrange these decorations yourself?"
Jiang Yanyu reached out and grabbed a bell, pulling it down along with the red string, unfastened the strap on Luo Qinglin's shoulder, and prepared to tie it on.
"Well, I arranged it by myself." Jiang Yanyu pulled the short rope and gently tied the bell to the sling.
The bell felt cold to the touch, different from the temperature of Jiang Yanyu's hand. The two, one cold and one hot, slid across Luo Qinglin's shoulder.
Luo Qinglin shrank back uncomfortably, and the bell began to make a tinkling sound, which was particularly harsh in this cramped environment.
"Why are you hiding?" Jiang Yanyu grabbed the trembling bell, looked at it carefully, then raised his eyes to look at Luo Qinglin carefully, frowning slightly, as if dissatisfied.
Luo Qinglin leaned back, clutching his suit with both hands, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Looking back and forth between the bell and collarbone, Jiang Yanyu took off the bell and said, "No, this is not beautiful enough."
Jiang Yanyu reached out and pulled off another bell. The red rope of this bell was longer, about thirty centimeters, which was exactly the length of a necklace.
Jiang Yanyu hugged Luo Qinglin's back, pulled him close, looked him in the eyes and said, "BB, I have a gift for you."
After saying this, Jiang Yanyu pulled the two ends of the red rope, wrapped it around Luo Qinglin's neck, and tied a tight knot behind his neck.
The rope is not short, but it is barely enough to be used as a necklace.
When the knot was tied, Luo Qinglin felt an extremely strong strange sensation on his neck. Although it was not to the point of choking him off, it was uncomfortable nonetheless.
Luo Qinglin wanted to pull it apart, but Jiang Yanyu was very happy and kept poking the bell with his index finger, as if he was playing with a treasure that he couldn't let go.
Just as he was about to raise his hand, he put it down again. Luo Qinglin turned his eyes away, trying to empty his mind and endure the strange feeling on his neck.
After playing with the bell enough, Jiang Yanyu slowly let go of it and carefully appreciated the beautiful work he had created.
The thin neck was tightly wrapped with a red rope, leaving thin red marks. A bell was placed on the Adam's apple. Every time he swallowed saliva, the bell would shake and make a small tinkling sound.
Jiang Yanyu reached out and touched the red rope, rubbing his thumb between his skin and the rope, looking at Luo Qinglin steadily and saying, "You are so beautiful."
Embarrassment is like the prelude to heavy rain, dripping down.
Luo Qinglin avoided the burning gaze and pretended to be calm, "You've said it several times today, I'm tired of hearing it."
"Tired of hearing it? Then tell me, what words won't make you tired of hearing them?" Jiang Yanyu raised her eyebrows, slid her fingertips to his ear, and plucked the rose.
Luo Qinglin had no intention of asking Jiang Yanyu to change the words, he just wanted the vixen to say less corny words.
"Can you talk about something else? Stop talking about me." Luo Qinglin asked.
Jiang Yanyu pinched off the petals of the rose, holding them one by one in the palm of his hand, until all the petals were pinched off, and then he said, "No."
The roses were pinched until only bare branches were left. Luo Qinglin felt uneasy. He glanced at Jiang Yanyu and saw that he didn't seem angry either. He asked, "Why did you tear off all the petals?"
Jiang Yanyu didn't answer. He slowly threw away the bare branches, then stood up suddenly and threw Luo Qinglin into the soft pillow.
Before Luo Qinglin could react, countless petals fell from the sky, landing on his face, collarbone, and shoulders like rain.
The red of the rose is deeper than the red of the skirt, and when it falls on her fair skin, it makes her skin look even whiter and brighter.
There were flower petals on his eyes, which made him feel slightly itchy. Luo Qinglin wanted to reach out and wipe the petals off, but Jiang Yanyu grabbed his wrist first.
Annoyed by Jiang Yanyu's series of actions, Luo Qinglin frowned and asked, "What are you crazy about?"
Jiang Yanyu pulled Luo Qinglin's hand over his head and answered irrelevantly, "You are so beautiful now, I want to take a picture of it."
"Can I?" Jiang Yanyu leaned over and asked softly, "BB, I want to record this moment, can I?"
Seeing that the vixen was acting again, Luo Qinglin didn't want to see him pretending to be wronged, so he sighed and said, "Hurry up and take the photo, then let me go."
Jiang Yanyu smiled triumphantly, turned on the camera of his mobile phone to record the video, aimed it at Luo Qinglin's face, and moved slowly from top to bottom.
Just taking pictures is not enough and cannot satisfy Jiang Yanyu's requirements. He reached out his hand and touched the side of Luo Qinglin's neck. His fingertips gently hooked around the bell, causing it to ring crisply.
Jiang Yanyu kept making small movements, such as pulling the suspenders down her arms, fiddling with the bells, and stroking his lips with her fingertips.
The video had been shot for more than ten minutes and it hadn't ended yet. Luo Qinglin gradually lost his patience and muttered, "Are you a pervert? How long are you going to shoot?"
Jiang Yanyu stopped, his expression suddenly turned aggrieved, "I just want to save you in my photo album so that I can remember you when I can't see you. Is that not even possible?"
He failed to finish the video recording and even provoked the vixen to start acting. Luo Qinglin had no choice but to close his eyes and said, "Go ahead and shoot. I'm tired and need to sleep for a while."
Jiang Yanyu took pictures for a few more minutes before putting away his phone. He stared at Luo Qinglin and asked, "Are you asleep?"
Of course Luo Qinglin wasn't asleep, he just didn't want to pay attention to him, so he pretended to be asleep and turned his head to the side.
Knowing that Luo Qinglin was pretending to sleep, Jiang Yanyu deliberately leaned close to his ear and said, "Are you Sleeping Beauty? Do you need me to kiss you to wake you up?"
Luo Qinglin's eyelashes trembled slightly, but his eyes did not open. Instead, they closed even tighter, as if he was asking for a kiss.
"Then did I really kiss you?" Jiang Yanyu asked.
Luo Qinglin held his breath and swallowed unconsciously, but he forgot that he had a bell on his neck, and his Adam's apple pushed the bell, making it jingle.
Jiang Yanyu chuckled, and this time she didn't kiss the forehead, but kissed Luo Qinglin's slightly trembling eyelids.
Lips slightly parted, Jiang Yanyu kissed her and said, "Sleeping beauty, wake up quickly, your prince is here to pick you up."

Timeline: A long time later
Luo Qinglin has been very busy recently. Since the team set off to Sri Lanka for filming, he has only been able to sleep three or four hours a day. The rest of the time he spends on the boat waiting for whales to appear and watching the sunrise and sunset.
The signal at sea was bad, sometimes available and sometimes not. He would often get disconnected in the middle of a call with Jiang Yanyu.
When people are busy, they forget about the days.
It was not until he heard his teammates video chat with his wife saying that the Chinese Valentine's Day gifts they bought had been sent to their home that Luo Qinglin realized that today was Chinese Valentine's Day.
Luo Qinglin didn't prepare any gifts at all, so he quickly called Jiang Yanyu. No one answered the call, and the only sound in the receiver was "The number you dialed is unanswered."
It’s over. Luo Qinglin hung up the phone and thought, Jiang Yanyu must be angry.
What should I do?
He didn't want to wear the messy toys, but when he got back, Jiang Yanyu would definitely punish him...
Luo Qinglin sat on the deck, staring at the sunset in a daze. The afterglow sprinkled on the sea, shining with golden light, and the waves were like reflective fish scales, dazzling people's eyes from time to time.
"Mr. Luo, dinner is ready." The speaker was the captain's daughter, asking Luo Qinglin to have dinner.
"I'll be there right away." Luo Qinglin stood up and dialed the phone again, but still no one answered.
Luo Qinglin sighed, stood there thinking for a moment, and sent a message to Jiang Yanyu:
[Brother Yanyu, Happy Chinese Valentine's Day, I miss you so much [love][love]]
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanyu immediately replied: [You are finished. 】
When the message popped up, a loud buzzing sound came from a distance. Luo Qinglin looked up and saw a small black dot flying from the direction of the sun.
Attracted by the loud noise, other people on the boat also walked onto the deck and raised their heads to look up into the sky.
"Who is this? Flying a helicopter at sea."
"It must be a wealthy person who came to the island for tourism."
"It's great to be rich. You can even buy a private island."
......
Luo Qinglin looked at the helicopter, feeling increasingly uneasy, and prayed in his heart, "Don't stop, don't stop!"
However, the helicopter moved slower and slower, eventually hovering above the boat. After hovering for only a moment, the helicopter's door suddenly opened, and a soft ladder was thrown down from the fuselage and landed on the deck.
Hiss! ! !
A shrill microphone sound was heard, followed by Jiang Yanyu's voice.
"Luo Qinglin! Where is Luo Qinglin?"
"Come out quickly."
"Your husband is here!"
The people around suddenly fell silent and all looked towards Luo Qinglin, their eyes filled with surprise and awe.
Luo Qinglin covered his face, smiled awkwardly, ran to the bottom of the ladder, grabbed the rope, and gently pulled it down, and the ladder began to slowly rise.
"You, why are you here?" Luo Qinglin asked guiltily after entering the cabin.
Jiang Yanyu wore sunglasses and snorted, "You don't want to spend Chinese Valentine's Day with me, do you want to spend it with your camera?"
Luo Qinglin coughed a few times, then jumped onto Jiang Yanyu, climbed onto his back and said softly, "I was wrong, can you not punish me?"
Jiang Yanyu stared at him coldly, took out a half-meter-long black lace ribbon from his suit pocket, grabbed Luo Qinglin's wrists and tied them behind his back.
"No. I just said that you are done for today." Jiang Yanyu said as he tied her up...
