Although Liang Yan's maternal grandparents' home was not particularly far away, it still took him three full days to get there by riding day and night.
However, Qiongqi was in an unusually happy mood. Along the way, he saw many different customs and cultures, many interesting things, and learned a lot of useful knowledge from Liang Yan.
However... after he sent Liang Yan to the place, he declined the other party's invitation to be a guest, said "see you again if we're lucky", and turned and left.
Because he found that he was starting to become different, he gradually began to have human emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
When he was alone in the mountains, he never felt lonely, nor did he feel that he needed friends. Even his emotions did not fluctuate much.
He didn't feel happy, sad, or sad. He only became a little excited when fighting. But during the few days he spent with Liang Yan, he actually felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Although he has not been in the human world for long, he has integrated into this place unknowingly. However... he is a ferocious beast with an infinite lifespan, while humans only have a lifespan of a hundred years.
If you have never owned it, you will not be afraid of losing it. However, it is too painful to have it and then lose it, so it is better to cut off worldly ties as soon as possible and return to where you should go.
However... even though he said that, he couldn't bear to go back to the mountain. Instead, he stayed near Liang Yan for several days, and then when she was heading home, he silently escorted her all the way.
After realizing that he was doing something stupid again, he comforted himself by saying that he was just worried about her safety, so he went back immediately after sending her home.
But after watching Liang Yan enter the gate of Liang Mansion, he still felt reluctant to leave.
He withdrew his gaze and leaned against the wall of the alley, raised his head and sighed deeply, then closed his eyes and began to convince himself.
After opening his eyes again, he finally made up his mind to leave, raised his hand and began to make hand gestures.
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Xingchen, come out! I know you're nearby!"
Qiongqi was suddenly startled and didn't understand why Liang Yan suddenly came back, but he quickly interrupted the spell.
"Xingchen, stop hiding, I can see you!"
"Come out quickly! If you don't come out, I'll come find you!"
When Qiongqi heard this, he couldn't help but panic and hurried out of the alley.
But when he walked out, he found that Liang Yan was shouting with his back to him. This man didn't know he was here at all and was simply trying to trick him.
He raised his eyebrows and was about to go back, but... it seemed a little too late.
"Stop!" Liang Yan changed his gentle image, pinched his waist with one hand and pointed at him with the other and ordered fiercely.
Qiongqi was naturally not afraid of these things. He had many ways to leave immediately, but for some unknown reason he stopped obediently.
Seeing this, Liang Yan quickly walked forward and asked in a muffled voice, "Were you the one staring at me on the road? Why didn't you come back with me? Why did you hide from me after you came back?"
Qiongqi scratched his head awkwardly and began to lie, "Someone who's watching you? Someone who's watching you for everything? What are you talking about? I came back several days ago!"
"I...I wasn't hiding from you! I just happened to walk over here and heard you yelling! How can that be called hiding from you?!"
This lie had no technical content at all and was completely illogical, but Liang Yan did not deliberately expose him. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Qiongqi let out a confused "Ah", then answered dully and truthfully: "No...no."
"I'll treat you to a meal!" Liang Yan said as he grabbed his arm and walked towards the street.
Qiongqi seemed to be unable to react and did not resist for a moment. Instead, he let her pull him away.
Liang Yan pulled him into a random restaurant, ordered some signature dishes, and then looked at the man opposite and said, "Are you... leaving here?"
"Yeah." Qiongqi calmed down and nodded, saying, "I'm going back up the mountain. I originally came out this time to see the world below the mountain. Now that I've seen everything I should see, there's no need to stay."
"Oh, I see." Liang Yan nodded subtly, his eyes full of disappointment.
Then both of them lowered their heads in silence, and the atmosphere became awkward in an instant.
Liang Yan absentmindedly put some vegetables into his bowl, then kept poking the rice in front of him with his chopsticks. He was the first to break the silence and said, "What can you see in just a few days? This is just the tip of the iceberg."
"You haven't seen the Lantern Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the firecrackers during Chinese New Year, or even polo and mahjong, haven't you?"
"Are you sure... you won't stay a little longer?"
After hearing this, Qiongqi's eyes flashed with surprise. He had imagined Liang Yan's reaction after he left, and whether Liang Yan would forget him soon.
But he never thought that things would develop to this point. Liang Yan would actually catch him and then... keep him. Moreover, his words of retention were so tempting that it was hard for him not to be moved.
He thought about it and couldn't help but sigh silently. He lost, completely!
After Liang Yan's bold attempt to persuade her to stay, she felt uneasy. When she saw the man opposite her with his head down and not saying a word, she suddenly felt that there was no hope and her heart sank.
But at this moment, Qiongqi suddenly raised his head, showing a brilliant smile that had never appeared on his face before, and gently uttered two words, "Okay."
Liang Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You...what did you say?"
"I say, okay!" Qiongqi looked directly into her beautiful eyes and made a serious promise: "Let's go to the Lantern Festival and the Dragon Boat Race together, play polo and mahjong together, and set off fireworks together!"
"Yeah!" Liang Yan came back to his senses and smiled broadly, "Let's go together!"
After deciding to stay, both of them felt relieved and finally had the heart to eat a good meal.
After dinner, they went to see several houses for rent together and finally chose the most suitable one to rent.
After renting the house, Qiongqi had little money left, so he worked hard to get rid of all the troublesome bandits, robbers, and hooligans in the vicinity, and soon became rich again.
Moreover, his reputation spread quickly, and people often came to him with money asking for help. He never refused anyone who asked, and eventually he became more and more popular.
Liang Yan did fulfill his promise and took him with him whenever there was something fun. They could be said to be inseparable. Then they met Ziheng and Wen Wan on the street.
