The next day, at the entrance of the training camp.
"Thank you so much this time," Wang Mian said to Shang Yan, standing in front of the motorcycle.
Shang Yan smiled at him and then tossed out a seed that emitted a shimmering green light.
“I think you’ll need this again. Just call me by another name and I’ll come.” After saying this, he patted the seat behind him. Zhou Ping was already used to it. He sighed and sat down behind Shang Yan.
He reached out and hugged Shang Yan's waist, then whispered, "I'm all better."
"Then let's set off." Shang Yan waved to Wang Mian behind him, who was holding the seeds. "By the way, my other name is Chu Changliu!"
After he said that, the motorcycle made a sound and, within a few dozen seconds, it took Zhou Ping on the road.
He was driving unusually fast, and two hours later, Zhou Ping realized something was wrong.
Shang Yan's car didn't seem to be heading in the same direction as Xijin City. He asked with some confusion, "Yan Yan, where are we going?"
"Let's go to the East Sea! We said we wanted to see the sea last time, but I was delayed because of my beast form. This time we have time, so let's go together!" Shang Yan's excited voice came from ahead.
Zhou Ping:......
Was this all done so hastily on a whim?
"But we didn't bring anything. This time when we came to Cangnan City, I only brought the Dragon Elephant Sword, and you came empty-handed." Well, you could say you came empty-handed, since you were still holding the handlebars.
Zhou Ping never imagined that one day he and Shang Yan would be wandering the world together, one on horseback and the other with a sword.
This feeling is novel.
The whistling wind, a sound of freedom, accompanied Shang Yan's laughter and entered his heart.
Shang Yan drove extremely fast, it felt like the car was about to fly, a speed that ordinary motorcycles could not reach.
"Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping?" Shang Yan called out his name loudly.
His voice, louder than the wind, resounded in Zhou Ping's ears.
"How does it feel? It's comfortable, isn't it? You can try opening your arms; it feels like embracing the summer breeze!" he said enthusiastically.
A strong wind swept by, and Zhou Ping, as instructed, opened his arms. The moment he embraced the summer breeze, he also wrapped his arms around Shang Yan's slender waist, holding both the late summer wind and his beloved in his embrace.
The wind wasn't too strong that day, and the sunshine was just right. He thought he would remember that feeling for a very long time.
They rode their bikes for quite a while longer, until the sun began to set, and finally Shang Yan and Zhou Ping arrived at their destination, the East China Sea.
After getting off the car, Zhou Ping pushed the cart with one hand and looked at his phone with the other.
"Are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat first. I looked at some places to stay online and just booked a vacation home near the beach. It's late summer, so it's a bit cheaper than before," Zhou Ping said, putting his phone in his pocket after booking the room.
When he was with Shang Yan, he unconsciously became more talkative.
When she turned to look at Shang Yan, her pupils contracted slightly, but she didn't see the familiar figure.
"Shang Yan?" he called softly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm here!" Shang Yan, who had just bought ten skewers of lamb from a roadside stall, quickly came over with the skewers when he heard Zhou Ping call him.
He blew on the sizzling, oily meat skewers and held them to Zhou Ping's lips. "They smell so incredibly delicious, my mouth is watering!"
He was really drooling. After swallowing, he saw Zhou Ping open his mouth and take a bite, so he immediately pulled the skewer back to his own mouth.
After swallowing a bite of the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside roasted meat, Zhou Ping frowned slightly. "Why did you run off again without a word?"
"Honey, this meat skewer is tempting me. You know I have weak willpower," Shang Yan said, crunching away as he ate several large bites of the skewer, then feeding the rest of the meat to Zhou Ping's mouth.
Before Zhou Ping could say anything more, he looked at the meat that was right in front of his mouth and took a small bite.
"Take a few more bites. Nobody's watching us. How can you grow so big if you eat so little?" Shang Yan held the meat skewer to his mouth again.
"..." After finishing the food he was given, Zhou Ping opened his mouth and said, "Next time..."
Shang Yan handed him another string of skewers, and he smiled and replied, "I'll definitely let you know next time!"
"Okay," Zhou Ping sighed softly, and after finishing the remaining meat skewers Shang Yan handed him, he couldn't help but say, "Don't buy any more. If you eat too many snacks, you won't want to eat a proper meal later."
After throwing away the wooden skewer, Shang Yan obediently followed beside him. "So what should we eat? The food here by the sea is quite different from what we have in Xijin City."
Zhou Ping paused when she heard him say that, then turned to look at him with gentle eyes, "What would you like to eat?"
The two of them happened to stop in front of a seafood buffet restaurant. Shang Yan's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the restaurant, saying, "Shall we eat here?"
Seeing that he had made a quick decision, Zhou Ping parked the car at the entrance and walked in side by side with Shang Yan.
The two of them settled down in a city on the coast of the East China Sea. Shang Yan had a good experience after staying there for two days and insisted on staying for the full seven days before returning to Xijin City.
Zhou Ping had no choice but to pay for the room again and called the parents of both of them to give them instructions. He then spent a full week with Shang Yan in Donghai.
"Zhou Ping, look there's fog over there," Shang Yanfei said, gazing into the distance from the East China Sea.
"Don't go over there, it's dangerous," Zhou Ping said, pulling Shang Yan back from going forward.
Shang Yan was pulled back. "Have you ever been to the world outside the mist?"
"No," Zhou Ping shook his head sincerely.
"Then why are you so sure it's dangerous?" Shang Yan patted his hand. "Why don't we take some time to go inside and see what's in there?"
"..." Zhou Ping gripped Shang Yan's tightly clasped hand, he hesitated, "Yan Yan, I'm scared..."
I'm afraid something will happen to you, so even if we have to go, I won't let Shang Yan go, but him.
"Huh?" Shang Yan completely misunderstood. He quickly pulled Zhou Ping away and said, "Then let's stay away from there. Don't be afraid."
He solemnly emphasized, "I'm still here. Even if the things inside come out, I won't let them set foot here."
“Ah…” Zhou Ping followed behind Shang Yan, watching the tuft of brown hair on his head tremble in the wind, and smiled gently.
Why would he be afraid?
"I will protect this place!" Shang Yan, who was walking in front, did not hear Zhou Ping's response and hurriedly said seriously. After saying this, he turned his head and happened to see Zhou Ping with a smile in his eyes.
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm so happy. I'll protect this place with Yan Yan." Zhou Ping's face lit up with a smile as he bent down and hugged Shang Yan, who looked puzzled.
