Chapter 397: Night Not Returning
On the flower boat, Song Ruize and Qin Huiyin sat side by side at the bow, watching the other flower boats coming and going.
Sitting on those flower boats are young men and women. Looking at those affectionate couples, it is not difficult to see that this is a world of lovers. The air is filled with the strong smell of dog food.
Qin Huiyin ate cakes, admired the night view, looked at the lovers around him, and said, "Brother, if you have someone you like, bring them here to confess your love, and you will definitely succeed."
Song Ruize's paddling movements became chaotic.
"Do you think I should have someone I like?"
"You are eighteen this year, it is normal to have someone you like!" Qin Huiyin said, then turned around and looked at him fervently, her eyes burning with the flame of gossip. "Do you already have someone you like? Is she a lady from a wealthy family or a beautiful girl from a humble family? Have I seen her before?"
Song Ruize put away the oar, lay down beside her, snatched the pastry from her hand and took a big bite.
"I've eaten..." Qin Huiyin looked at him and said awkwardly, "Could it be that you like her and she doesn't like you? Why do I feel that your eyes are full of resentment, as if you have been heartbroken?"
"I don't have anyone I like, don't talk nonsense." Song Ruize said calmly, "If I had someone I liked, would I have time to find you?"
Qin Huiyin understood: "That's true. Besides, with your looks, if there is someone you really like, as long as you make a move, how could the other person not like you?"
"Really?" Song Ruize looked at her profile.
"Of course, it's more real than pearls." Qin Huiyin yawned and lay down with him. "The night sky is so beautiful! The peace and tranquility of this town is something that the capital doesn't have. It makes me feel like I'm back home. It's so late, should we hurry back?"
"It's so late, there's no need to rush. I'll take you back tomorrow morning." Song Ruize looked at her, "Okay?"
"I have no objection, but I'm worried that you won't be able to handle it." Qin Huiyin said, shrinking towards him.
Song Ruize took off his cloak and covered her with it.
He sat up, looked at her sweet sleeping face, and felt a little dry in the mouth.
He picked up the paddle and continued to paddle. He passed by a water store and bought a new quilt from there. He left quickly under the other person's mischievous gaze, as if there was a dog chasing him.
He covered Qin Huiyin with the quilt and fanned her with his hands to dispel the heat on her face.
What was that boss's look like? How could he...
He just wanted to stay with her for a while longer. As long as she was by his side, he would feel at ease. How could he be the kind of person who had no sense of propriety?
Song Ruize looked at Qin Huiyin beside him. At this moment, he felt that the world was so beautiful. If time could stay at this moment, he would have no regrets.
Song Ruize was pushed awake. He opened his eyes and saw Qin Huiyin's face approaching him. He just woke up but not completely awake, so he stared at her blankly.
Qin Huiyin saw that he had opened his eyes, pointed at the sun not far away and said, "Brother, look, the sun is rising."
Song Ruize glanced in the direction she pointed, then turned back to look at her. In his eyes, the sun was slowly rising from behind her, just like she, the little sun, slowly warming his life.
Qin Huiyin covered her eyes, and used her other hand to cover Song Ruize's eyes, saying, "You can't look directly at it, it's too dangerous."
Song Ruize sat up and let out a breath.
He found himself and Qin Huiyin covered in the same quilt.
He remembered clearly that he had only covered himself with a cloak last night, not a quilt. But now he was in the quilt, sharing the same quilt with Qin Huiyin. Could it be that he had gotten in?
No, we can't do this any longer.
This is too dangerous.
He absolutely could not do anything to hurt Yinyin.
"Brother, you are such a grown-up, why are you still kicking the quilt?" Qin Huiyin turned around and said, "You must find a wife who will cover you with a quilt in the future."
Song Ruize: "...Did you build it for me?"
"Yes! Although the temperature now is not cold, it is still a little chilly in the middle of the night." Qin Huiyin finished speaking, stretched, and stood up. "I actually slept in the lake last night. I listened to the sound of the flowing water and the sound of the piano in the distance. I slept quite comfortably. But you should hurry back to do your work, right? I'll buy a horse and go back by myself later."
"I have nothing to do this morning, so there's no rush." Song Ruize rowed the boat to the shore and paid the boat rental fee.
He took Qin Huiyin to have breakfast and then rode her back on horseback.
He said they were not in a hurry, and he really was not in any hurry at all. He took his time taking her back. If you didn't know better, you would have thought they were going out for a spring outing.
However, no matter how slow, you will arrive eventually.
"I'm not going in." Song Ruize helped her off the horse.
"Go down the mountain slowly, the road is steep."
"good."
"Ahem..." Li Taohua stood at the door and looked at the two of them calmly. "Are you willing to come back?"
Song Ruize bowed and said, "Aunt Li."
Li Taohua nodded: "Next time you take the person away, leave a message. I didn't see anyone so early in the morning. I almost turned this mountain upside down."
"Sorry, I didn't think it through." Song Ruize apologized sincerely.
He didn't expect to stay out last night, and his original plan was to send her back. However, seeing that she was having fun and the beautiful scenery in the lake, he lost his composure for a moment.
"Mom, my brother took me to the town at the foot of the mountain to relax. The night view of the town was so beautiful. We played a little late, so we didn't go back and forth. I won't dare to do it again next time!" Qin Huiyin explained.
"With him protecting you, I have nothing to worry about. He just disappeared without saying a word, which almost scared me to death. Let it go this time, but it won't happen again." Li Taohua tapped her forehead.
Qin Huiyin waved to Song Ruize and asked him to go down the mountain quickly.
Song Ruize saluted again, mounted his horse, glanced at Qin Huiyin, and pulled the reins to go down the mountain.
Li Taohua said: "I will copy a scripture today."
Qin Huiyin agreed honestly: "Okay."
Li Taohua's eyes stayed on the box in her hand: "What is this?"
"A few small items." Qin Huiyin said, opening the box and revealing exquisite hair accessories.
She took out one and was about to put it on Li Taohua, but was rejected by the latter.
Li Taohua blocked her action and said, "It's for little girls, what are you going to wear for me?"
"Then I'll leave two for Sister Luwu and Sister Wan'er." Qin Huiyin said.
Li Taohua rolled her eyes and said, "This is a gift from your brother. You are giving it to someone else. Have you ever considered his feelings? If you want to buy gold, silver or jade as a gift, you should buy it yourself. Don't be too generous to others and don't worry about the person who gave you the gift being sad."
"This kind of hair accessory made of everlasting flowers is the first time I've seen it. I thought everyone could wear it as a novelty. But mother is right. This was given to me by my brother. I really shouldn't give it to others."
Perhaps it was because Song Ruize gave her too many things, she took it for granted and even underestimated his kindness.
That won't work.
She'll have to keep this in mind in the future.
