Springtime and blooming flowers take place in the fairyland, but outside the fairyland, it is still a cold, icy world with snowflakes drifting in the sky. Although they are not large, they are cold.
Wearing a cotton coat, Ouyang Yan walked through the forest, leaving shallow footprints on the thin layer of snow on the ground.
It was quiet all around, with a cold wind howling. Sometimes when there was no wind, you could even hear the sound of snow falling clearly, which calmed Ouyang Yan's heart.
She didn't go far, but walked back and forth in the forest. After she had calmed down, she decided to go back. As she turned around, she bumped into a warm embrace. The warm feeling seemed somewhat familiar.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." she quickly apologized as she backed away, but then she heard a voice.
"Why aren't you watching where you're going? What are you thinking about?"
This voice sounds familiar.
Ouyang Yan quickly looked up and, sure enough, saw... Bai Hao!
"Bai... Bai Hao? What brings you here..." Upon seeing that it was Bai Hao, Ouyang Yan's heart, which had just calmed down, immediately tensed up again, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"What, can't I come?" Bai Hao asked with a slight smile.
"No...that's not what I meant." Ouyang Yan panicked and quickly lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Seeing Ouyang Yan's state, Bai Hao knew he couldn't tease her anymore. He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Ahem, actually, it's your senior sister, that Duan Qiyun, who said you seemed a bit down. Since we know each other, she sent me to check on you."
"Senior sister?" Ouyang Yan was taken aback.
"So, is something on your mind? Do you want to come here to clear your head? If you'd like, I can be someone you confide in," Bai Hao said earnestly.
Helping a heartbroken girl resolve her inner conflict is what he enjoys most.
"No, nothing's wrong with me. My senior sister is just talking nonsense." Ouyang Yan lowered her voice, seemingly a little embarrassed, but she murmured to herself, "No, nothing's wrong with me."
"You're my biggest worry. If you don't come, nothing else matters."
She had already calmed down, but then Bai Hao came again, making her heart start racing once more...
"Alright then, let's go back if there's nothing else, so your senior sister won't worry." Bai Hao saw through it but didn't say anything.
Does a girl really mean she's fine when she says she's okay? But since Ouyang Yan said that, it means she won't tell Bai Hao, so Bai Hao didn't force her. After all, their relationship... hasn't reached the point where they can confide in each other yet.
"Okay, let's go back." Ouyang Yan nodded and quickly turned to leave, somewhat impatient.
Seeing her like this, Bai Hao shrugged helplessly and could only follow behind. Then he changed the subject and said, "I couldn't see you outside earlier, and I thought you hadn't come."
Ouyang Yan's heart skipped a beat. "You've been looking for me the whole time?"
"Yeah, but I didn't find it. I just didn't expect you to be here," Bai Hao said.
“You…” Ouyang Yan didn’t know what to say. A warm feeling of gratitude welled up in her heart, but she resolutely refused to turn around and instead said calmly:
"I didn't see you either, so I thought you weren't here, so I came here to wander around."
Ouyang Yan herself was unaware that her words had involuntarily become more cheerful, and she even skipped and hopped as she walked.
Bai Hao simply smiled and didn't expose Ouyang Yan.
He knew perfectly well why the girl was so happy, but she was too shy to say anything, so he just left it at that.
He hadn't forgotten the gentle kiss Ouyang Yan had left on his face when he left earlier.
This girl definitely hasn't forgotten, but it was probably just a momentary impulse back then. She'd probably be so embarrassed if she thought about it now, so Bai Hao gave her enough space and let things take their course.
There's no way around it, my charm is just that great.
...
Although the road was short, Ouyang Yan felt it was very long at this moment.
She could clearly feel Bai Hao right behind her, following closely step by step. If she stopped, Bai Hao would likely crash into her.
“Young Master Bai…” Ouyang Yan thought for a long time, and just as she was about to leave, she mustered up her courage and turned around to look at Bai Hao.
"Hmm?" Bai Hao stopped and looked at the girl's pretty face with a slight look of doubt.
"You... are you going back to the Fallen Sea Sect after exploring the ruins this time?" Ouyang Yan mustered her courage and asked Bai Hao.
"Hmm... I guess so, but it depends on our sect leader, I can't make that decision myself," Ye Haobai said after thinking for a moment.
Whether they leave or not depends on their unreliable sect leader. If she says she'll go back, she'll go back. Bai Hao also wants to go back. After all, it's so cold here, and it's the Northern Region, which is worlds apart from the Southern Region. If they stay here and get lost, they won't be able to find their way back!
Upon receiving Bai Hao's answer, a hint of disappointment flashed across Ouyang Yan's face.
Bai Hao's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "However, after I go back, if I have time, I should go back to some places, such as the Western Regions or the Central Plains."
"Really?" Ouyang Yan, who had lowered her head, suddenly raised it again upon hearing this, her eyes sparkling with a captivating light.
The Dan Sect is located in Zhongzhou.
"Pretty much. I'll definitely go out and see the world when I have time. I can't just stay in our Southern Region and never see the world," Bai Hao said earnestly, as if he really wanted to see the wonderful world outside.
"Then when you come to Zhongzhou, you can come to our Dan Sect. I will definitely treat you well." Ouyang Yan couldn't help but feel excited, and a beautiful blush rose on her face.
"Okay, I'll definitely go then," Bai Hao said with a smile.
"Yeah!"
...
The two quickly returned to the outskirts of the fairyland, where people from various sects were still waiting. Su Yuewan and the others had been gone for so long but had not yet returned.
No one cared about Bai Hao and Bai Hao's return.
Bai Hao went straight back to Fan Ziming's side, while Ouyang Yan returned to the Danzong disciples.
Duan Qiyun looked curiously at Ouyang Yan, who was visibly agitated, and then at Bai Hao not far away. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes before she asked, "Yan'er, are you alright? It seems that it was the right thing for me to ask Young Master Bai to comfort you."
Her words only made things worse. Ouyang Yan's almond-shaped eyes widened immediately, and she asked, "Shijie, who told you to go find Young Master Bai?"
"No, Young Master Bai did save you before, and you've seemed unhappy ever since then, so I thought he could help you out of your troubles, so I went to find him," Duan Qiyun said innocently.
