Only a small section of the city wall remains; the rest is completely broken. Calling it a city wall is no longer accurate; it would be more appropriate to call it a stone pillar supporting a building. This "stone pillar" is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The area at the top is barely larger than the gate tower, and extending down to the bottom, it is larger than the combined area of several small courtyards.
The large stones used to build the city wall were cracked, and grass grew out of the cracks. Some of the gaps had accumulated a lot of dust and dirt, which allowed small trees to grow.
In short, this old city gate, like a huge, ancient stone tablet, stands in a corner of the now bustling city of Yinjing. It is like the ashes of history.
He Yunxiao helped Fan Ziruo out of the car and led her to the foot of the "stone tablet".
"Ziruo, I'll help you climb up."
Fan Ziruo found it hard to believe. This old city tower was very steep. Although it wasn't straight up and down, it was definitely not something an ordinary person could climb, let alone He Yunxiao who was carrying her.
"Ziruo, I need to hold you, okay?"
[Fan Ziruo's favorability rating...]
He Yunxiao quickly interrupted, "Ziruo, Ziruo, is that alright?"
Fan Ziruo blushed and gritted her teeth, saying, "This is just for research material..."
He Yunxiao nodded repeatedly, "Just gathering materials, nothing more."
After He Yunxiao finished speaking, he opened his arms, waiting for Fan Ziruo to hug him.
Fan Ziruo shyly took small steps and nestled herself into He Yunxiao's arms.
He Yunxiao wrapped one arm around her slender waist, feeling the beauty in his arms tremble for a moment before calming down, and then said, "Ziruo, hug my neck."
Fan Ziruo blushed, stood on tiptoe, and wrapped her arms around He Yunxiao's neck. She could even feel He Yunxiao's breath tickling her forehead.
"Hold on tighter, or you'll fall."
Fan Ziruo obediently hugged him even tighter.
He Yunxiao enjoyed the fragrant aroma and the soft pressure against his chest for a while before saying, "I'm leaving."
Fan Ziruo hummed in agreement, and then felt herself suddenly rise into the air.
She really felt like she was flying, as if she had turned into fireworks and was soaring straight into the sky.
The houses kept getting smaller, and the clouds got bigger.
Fan Ziruo hugged the man in front of her tightly. Her hands were around his neck, and his hands were around her waist. They were close together, not feeling afraid at all.
Before long, I felt the solid ground beneath my feet. I also heard a familiar sound.
"Ziruo, we've arrived."
As He Yunxiao cautioned her to be careful, Fan Ziruo gradually loosened her grip on his neck. She realized that they were now standing on the rafters of a dilapidated gatehouse.
The beams were straight and thick, as solid as the ground itself.
She never imagined that what looked like a small, dilapidated gatehouse from afar would actually be so large once she climbed up, like a palace in the sky.
However, what's even more beautiful is the sunset.
Like a porcelain plate, it hung far in the western sky, a deep red, which made the nearby clouds appear red as well.
So beautiful.
He Yunxiao stood beside Fan Ziruo and gently whispered in her ear, "Ziruo, I want to marry you. Will you marry me?"
Fan Ziruo turned to look at He Yunxiao in shock, seeing him smiling gently. Suddenly, she felt that nothing in the world was more important than his smile.
The shock on her face gradually faded, and Fan Ziruo's face showed little surprise, astonishment, or excitement; she simply smiled gently.
She said, "Mmm."
He Yunxiao thought that Ziruo's sister had agreed reluctantly, but soon the system told him that he was wrong.
