Chapter 207.2
207 . 2 – Gong Tianyang
When Xue Qilin asked Gong Tianyang where he wanted to go, Gong Tianyang replied, “the strips”, playfully . This reply caused Xue Qilin to freeze for a moment, wondering if she heard it wrong .
He wants to stroll the strips? Xue Qilin wondered is he would die abruptly in the middle of the stroll .
When the guards heard that Gong Tianyang wants to go stroll the strips with Xue Qilin, they turned pale with fright and advised against it .
However, Gong Tianyang, who seems to be quite stubborn, insisted on having his own way . Furthermore, he didn’t allow the guards to follow along .
The guards are naturally unwilling . But, Gong Tianyang is their master . Now that he made up his mind, what will they do? Will they knock him unconscious and take him back to the Gong Clan? No, that would go against the master-servant etiquette . Furthermore, Gong Tianyang is so weak that he might be knocked dead instead of unconscious .
Helpless, the guards could only acquiesce . They warned Xue Qilin severely to protect Gong Tianyang . Xue Qilin naturally ignored this, standoffish .
In the end, under the worried gazes of the guards, Xue Qilin pushed Gong Tianyang sitting in his wheelchair to leave the inn and enter the outer city .
The two people strolling along the crowded strip unexpectedly became the focus of attention .
Although Gong Tianyang’s face is still immature, but his handsome features still attracted the attention of many young girls . In due time, he will become a dashing man .
Not to mention Xue Qilin . Just the ethereal breath around her is enough to compel people to stop, let alone her exquisite and cute appearance and the pair of bright eyes that shimmer at all times .
It should be mentioned that before leaving the inn, Gong Tianyang had suddenly asked Xue Qilin to change her hairstyle . Although she was confused and found it troublesome, but under Gong Tianyang’s pestering, Xue Qilin untied her hair, wound it around her neck and to in front of her chest, and tied it into a bunch . Just this slight change in hairstyle made her look a bit more dignified and graceful .
Nevertheless, if it was just one of them alone, they would not be so eye-catching . Only when the two are together can such an effect be achieved .
Gong Tianyang and Xue Qilin look very young, probably only in their early teens . Of course, Gong Tianyang is indeed young, while Xue Qilin is not .
Anyway, such a pair of youngsters walking down the strip — especially the combination of “the boy with a sickly face sitting in a wheelchair and the girl pushing from behind” is really too fascinating . Some kind passers-by even talked to them — “are you lost”, “are you looking for your mother?”, “Don’t be afraid . Tell uncle where you live, and uncle will take you back home”, and so on, thinking they were lost children . Xue Qilin jumped up and shouted angrily, “Get lost, I am dozens of years old!”
During the day, the imperial capital’s outer city is always full of hustle and bustle .
There is a dazzling lineup of shops with their own characteristics, while the roadside stalls interspersed among the shops are even more unique .
The products they sell are different, but they are also many, causing Gong Tianyang to look around in excitement and even tell Xue Qilin, who is serving as a coolie, to push him from one place to another .
Even though he showed a strong interest in many things, but he unexpectedly didn’t buy anything .
In a moment of curiosity, Xue Qilin asked him why he didn’t buy anything . Yet he revealed a sly smile and responded mischievously, “My sister said that the fun of walking the strips lies in looking around, not in buying stuff . So I wanted to try it myself one day . It’s surprisingly interesting!”
What a little sly fox... In the end, Xue Qilin looked askance at the other party, which prompted Gong Tianyang to giggle .
Because it is inconvenient to walk around in a wheelchair on the crowded strip, the two left the shopping strip after an hour of strolling about and turned into a strip full of restaurants .
“Now, Gong Tianyang, what did you want to thank me for? It’s about time you tell me . ”
While sucking on the candy she just bought, Xue Qilin’s voice sounded muffled as if her face was covered by a quilt .
Although Gong Tianyang said he wanted to thank Xue Qilin, but he still hadn’t said why he wanted to thank her .
At first, Xue Qilin agreed to Gong Tianyang’s request to accompany him on a stroll mainly because she thought that he didn’t want to just to thank her, but had something he wanted to tell her . However, now Xue Qilin is wondering whether she was just reading into things and Gong Tianyang has nothing to say to her .
Gong Tianyang let out an “ah” sound, assumed an embarrassed expression, and turned his head to look at Xue Qilin behind him .
“I almost forgot . ”
As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue, causing Xue Qilin’s eyes to twitch .
