"Nothing, can you accompany me for a walk outside?"
"Now?" Qin Yuyao looked at the sky outside, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.
"Alright, now." Lin Yue nodded.
"Alright." Lin Yue's pale face made Qin Yaoyao worried that something might happen to him, so she agreed.
As he stepped out of the house, the cool moonlight alleviated Lin's heavy mood a lot.
"Where are we going?" Qin Yuyao asked.
"Just take a walk." As he spoke, Lin Yue grasped something in his pocket.
Qin Yaoyao looked deeply at Lin Yue, without saying a word.
Two people walked slowly under the moonlight, neither of them speaking, letting the moonlight sprinkle on their bodies.
After walking a long way, Qin Yaoyao couldn't help but break the silence between them: "Lin Yue, what exactly happened? Can you tell me?"
Qin Yaoyao's voice was trembling slightly, as if it had taken a great deal of determination to say those words.
Lin Yue helplessly sighed and told Qin Yaoyao everything that had happened today.
Qin Yaoyao couldn't stop tears from flowing after listening to Lin Yue's story.
"I've been thinking about what would happen if Ming didn't show up at Rong Le Xuan again today," Lin Yue said with a sigh.
Qin Yaoyao heard this and couldn't help but reach out to grasp Lin Yue's hand, saying softly: "There aren't that many ifs, time has so many joys and sorrows, partings and reunions that you can't control, being able to help one person is already very good, don't think about it anymore."
Lin Yue nodded and said, "I'm fine now, let's go."
Two people held hands and continued walking forward, neither of them actively letting go, perhaps they didn't notice, or perhaps they both knew but were unwilling to let go.
Soon the two passed by an ATM, Lin Yue reluctantly let go of Qin Yaoyao's hand, walked to the ATM, inserted his card, and took out the remittance slip from this morning.
Looking at Lin Yue's back, Qin Yaoyao's pretty face couldn't help but flush with shame, her fingers still retaining the warmth from just now.
Lin Yue entered the account number on the remittance slip, inputting a figure of 340,000, and then firmly clicked confirm with a resolute expression.
Lin Yue only left himself with his original 260,000 and remitted all the money he bought from the jade to Ming Yiran's father. This part of the money was not his, but was lent by God through his hands to give to Ming Yiran's kind family.
Qin Yaoyao saw everything Lin Yue did, her eyes shining with admiration and deep love.
Such a man is a top-notch man!
After finishing the payment, Lin let out a sigh of relief, as if he had done something that should have been done.
"Shall we go back or keep wandering?" Lin Yue asked Qin Yuyao beside him.
"Go ahead and turn again." Qin Yaoyao said.
Lin Yue nodded, with some excitement jumping in his expression. This was still their first time going out for a walk together at night.
The two people on the road were still very silent, no one spoke, but the more they were silent, the more ambiguous the atmosphere between them became.
Unconsciously, Lin Yue slowly approached Qin Yaoyao. Qin Yaoyao noticed Lin Yue's approach, but she didn't show any expression, her face was just slightly red, however in the darkness no one could appreciate this blush.
Lin Yue decided to take the initiative, after all, he was also a big man, and naturally had to be more masculine and proactive.
He slowly raised his hand, and when Qin Yaoyao wasn't paying attention, he suddenly grabbed her hand. Then, he resignedly waited for Qin Yaoyao's reaction, the waiting time was absolutely unbearably long, even one second felt like a century. He could clearly hear his own heart "thumping" away, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
Qin Yaoyao was startled by Lin Yue's sudden attack and didn't react for a moment. Subconsciously, she wanted to pull her hand out, but it was tightly grasped by Lin Yue, and after a symbolic struggle, she gave up.
Qin Yaoyao woke up with a start, her face flushing bright red as she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Qin Yaoyao's struggle made Lin Yue's heart tighten, so he tightly grasped the other person's hand. After she stopped, Lin Yue couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief, his heart filled with joy and happiness.
The thin paper between the two people was pierced at this moment, but neither of them made any further progress. Lin Yue, a twenty-something-year-old virgin, had no experience in dating whatsoever, and holding hands was already a huge breakthrough for him. Qin Yaoyao had been pursued by many people during her school days, but she had never been in a relationship before and had no experience either. The two of them walked hand in hand on the road, slowly strolling with a hint of sweetness and happiness.
The two people on the road still didn't speak, and they walked hand in hand to their rented room, exchanged a smile, said goodnight, and went back to their respective rooms.
"Hurray!"
Entering his own room, Lin Ya shouted loudly, releasing all the excitement and joy in his heart.
Today's breakthrough with the front shake made him feel full of strength all over his body, so he lit incense, turned off the lights, and chopped incense, chopping six roots in a row before getting tired and falling asleep.
Qin Yaoyao heard the shouting coming from Gao Conglin's room, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, she wrinkled her delicate nose and hummed softly, then hugged her pillow and burst out laughing, occasionally burying her face in the pillow.
For six days in a row, although there was no substantial progress in the relationship between the two, the ambiguity between them continued to grow, especially when they ate together, often exchanging glances and smiles, with everything left unspoken. The subtle emotions between them filled the air with warmth.
Tomorrow is the deadline set by Chang Tai, and Lin Yue has absolute confidence in tomorrow's exam.
Five days ago, he switched from coarse incense to fine incense. Three days ago, he started using the Cold Moon Engraved Knife to split the incense. Today, three days later, he has almost merged with the Cold Moon Engraved Knife, and although he is still a little short, he is confident that he can complete tomorrow's trial.
Tonight is his last preparation.
Lin Yue lit six incense sticks in six places in the room, then tightly pulled up the curtains and turned off the lights. As he gazed at the flickering red dots in the darkness, Lin Yue's expression gradually solidified, the muscles on his face relaxed, his eyes changed from soft to sharp, as if he was looking down on everything, yet also seemed to have everything under control. He slowly entered a state of stillness like an ancient well.
The entire room fell silent with Lin, leaving only his extremely fine and long breathing sound.
As he inhaled a breath of air, Lin Yue suddenly drew his sword. A cold gust of wind swept silently through the night sky, like a ghostly apparition.
The sword rises. The sword falls.
The first red dot message appeared in the dense darkness.
The first sword strike hits!
The knife falls, the knife rises again.
Lin Yue's heart didn't waver in the slightest from the first slash, and he swung out his second slash.
