"You scoundrel, you really saw everything!"
"I'm too old to get married... Waaah!"
"I, I'll beat you to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yuqiu picked up a wooden stick from the ground and hit Nie Qingyun with it.
"Hey! Be reasonable, I'm the one who's clearly at a disadvantage."
"You still said that!"
On the quiet pedestrian street, Nie Qingyun was being chased by the girl in a rather disheveled manner.
Like young lovers in the past, they recklessly squander the momentary peace before them.
After a long while, Nie Qingyun stopped and stared blankly at the independent hotel in front of him.
"Senior Lingyuan...we're finally going to meet again..."
Chapter 90: Meeting My Senior (3k)
"Your Highness..."
"How much longer are you going to do it? Are you done yet...?"
Nie Qingyun leaned against the wall listlessly and asked a question weakly at the entrance of the shop next to him.
This was the third time he had urged them.
There's no way around it; girls always find choosing clothes particularly troublesome.
The two had already reached the entrance of the hotel where their senior was staying, but when Cheng Yuqiu heard that her companion was a girl, she refused to go in no matter what.
She wouldn't answer when Nie Qingyun pressed her for details, but instead kept pestering him to take her to the clothing store next door.
After a moment's thought, Nie Qingyun understood the reason.
The young lady is always the object of everyone's admiration wherever she goes, so she naturally cares a lot about her image. In times of danger, she can be very sensible and not care about these things, but now she definitely doesn't want to be outdone by others.
Thinking of this, and considering that she hadn't left too many clothes for her senior when she left last time, she figured Cheng Yuqiu could help her take a few more, so she let her go.
A moment later, footsteps sounded behind them.
A beautiful figure walked out of the shop entrance.
The girl was wearing a light blue knee-length A-line skirt with a low neckline, revealing her sexy collarbone and two fair arms. She was also carrying a small, delicate handbag.
Seemingly not forgetting Nie Qingyun's instructions from last night, Cheng Yuqiu deliberately wore a pair of white pantyhose, and they were the ultra-thin kind.
The white gauze clung perfectly to her skin, outlining her captivating and graceful curves.
In the strappy high-heeled sandals, her glistening toes stretched the fabric of her stockings, revealing a hint of flesh, which looked incredibly alluring.
Just looking at them makes you want to hold those beautiful legs in your arms and feel every inch of their contours with your cheek.
Seeing that Nie Qingyun was staring at her with wide eyes, Cheng Yuqiu couldn't help but show a hint of smugness on her pretty face.
She quietly walked to Nie Qingyun's side, switched the small handbag to her left hand, and then took his arm.
Her temperament is gentle and charming, just like a wealthy young lady about to attend a gala.
Well... speaking of which, Cheng Yuqiu really is a true heiress.
Nie Qingyun was used to the girl's chattering and arrogant manner, so she was really not used to Cheng Yuqiu's behavior.
A vague sense of foreboding crept into my heart.
He didn't think much of it, picked up the travel bag containing his clothes and headed to the hotel.
The hotel lobby looked unchanged; there were no new bodies, and it was almost exactly the same as when Nie Qingyun left.
Since there were no outsiders here, Nie Qingyun opened the control terminal to check and, after confirming that there were no signs of anyone else using it, simply unlocked all the rooms on the third floor.
Then he led the young lady up the stairs.
To be honest, it would be a lie for Nie Qingyun to say that she didn't miss Lingyuan, since she hadn't seen her for several days.
Strictly speaking, the senior was the first person he had a romantic relationship with; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her his first love.
However, due to the overwhelming amount of things that have been happening these past two days, and the need to stay focused at all times, they have no choice but to suppress their shared feelings to the minimum.
Now that the restrictions have been completely lifted, Nie Qingyun felt a surge of intense emotions, like a tsunami, welling up inside him.
It was like shattering a bottle of mixed flavors.
Confusion, urgency, worry, loss, loneliness... all sorts of emotions intertwined, making his heart feel as if it were being squeezed.
"What's wrong?" As if sensing the change in the person beside her, Cheng Yuqiu gently squeezed the other's arm.
Nie Qingyun remained silent. Through the resonance generated by [Soul Synchronization], he clearly sensed that Senior Sister Lingyuan had discovered him.
Putting aside those selfish emotions, Nie Qingyun also sensed a suppressed, unbearable thirst in the feedback from her senior.
My pace slowed down.
It's not that he didn't want to see his senior.
Things might turn out to be more complicated than expected...
Nie Qingyun's biggest worry now is no longer the young lady's safety, but whether he can openly bring Cheng Yuqiu to meet Senior Sister Lingyuan.
The likely outcome is that the three of them meet, and before they can even finish a single word, the senior student pounces on him, and he's drained dry right in front of the rich girl...
Given Cheng Yuqiu's never-say-die attitude, if something like that really happened, it would probably cause a huge uproar.
Although Nie Qingyun didn't intend to keep his relationship with his senior a secret, he figured it should be done gradually.
So when he reached the third floor, he suddenly stopped, glanced at Cheng Yuqiu who was "ready for battle," and said:
"that……"
"I forgot to tell you before, the senior is a little shy..."
"Shy?"
"Well, she's a girl, and suddenly being in the apocalypse seems to have terrified her of zombies. Her emotions become very unstable when she sees strangers..."
Cheng Yuqiu nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, not finding anything wrong with what Nie Qingyun said, and then subconsciously asked:
"What should I do?"
Seeing this, Nie Qingyun quickly replied:
"Okay, I'll go and greet her first, and try to calm her down."
"Just wait in the room next door. I'll call you over when it's ready, okay?"
When it came to serious matters, Cheng Yuqiu trusted Nie Qingyun completely. He didn't say anything more and let Nie Qingyun lead him to a room, where he found a sofa, sat down, and waited obediently.
Time was limited, so Nie Qingyun didn't waste any time. He left the drone behind in case something happened to the young lady, closed the door, and quickly headed to his senior's room.
But when he stood at the door, he suddenly felt that the connection he shared with his senior had disappeared.
No... it didn't disappear.
Instead, it was greatly reduced, as if it had been deliberately suppressed.
With some doubt, Nie Qingyun prepared to pry open the lock that he had broken when he left.
But as his gaze moved downwards, his pupils contracted slightly.
At the foot of the door, there was a piece of torn tape.
This was a mark he left when he left. Now that the tape has broken, it means that the door must have been opened.
Thinking of this, Nie Qingyun's heart sank, and he subconsciously placed his hand on the doorknob.
With a slight force, the carved wooden door opened a crack.
The interior decoration is exactly the same as before, with light purple ambient lighting, exquisite furniture arranged along the walls, and a desk with several decorative books placed directly opposite the door.
The LCD screen on the wall was still lit, playing a picture of a vinyl record spinning, and melodious music filled the room.
Further inside, there was that familiar large round bed.
When Nie Qingyun's gaze fell upon the beautiful figure sitting by the bed, he could no longer suppress the longing in his heart.
"Senior Lingyuan..."
Eyes facing each other.
One side was filled with guilt and the joy of reunion, while the other side was as calm as still water.
Lingyuan Ai Li sat quietly on the edge of the bed without making any move.
This was completely different from the reunion scene that Nie Qingyun had imagined.
A hint of surprise appeared on his face.
what happened?
Does my senior not recognize me anymore?
The thought had barely crossed Nie Qingyun's mind when he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he said in a low voice:
"Senior...don't you recognize me?"
Lingyuan Ellie remained expressionless and motionless upon hearing this.
No one noticed that the girl's hand, hidden behind her back, was already gripping the bed sheet tightly.
After a moment, the girl finally reacted, turning her head to the inside and no longer looking at Nie Qingyun.
If it weren't for the lingering connection he felt with his senior, he would probably have mistaken the girl in front of him for someone else entirely.
Just as Nie Qingyun was in a daze, he suddenly felt something hit his face.
He instinctively reached out and caught it, then looked down and his heart skipped a beat.
It was a black gag...
Nie Qingyun certainly remembered this thing. When he first met his senior, he used it to plug her mouth to prevent her from biting him.
Later, after the two became more familiar with each other, he threw the thing away.
After carefully checking the belt buckle, I found that it still had traces of use, confirming that it was indeed the original one.
But wasn't this thing already thrown away? How did it end up here?
With a puzzled look in his eyes, Nie Qingyun raised his head.
He then noticed that there were many items placed next to Senior Sister Lingyuan.
Worn-out clothes, broken ropes, an empty travel bag...
Nie Qingyun's gaze swept over all the items, finally settling on a collar made of leather straps.
In an instant, he felt as if his heart was melting.
The items placed next to the senior were all things he had used.
Everything that belonged to her was found and retrieved by her senior.
In an instant, Nie Qingyun seemed to understand why the door had been opened and why his senior was still there.
She is protecting the bond between the two in her own way.
If I hadn't come back today, Senior Lingyuan would have kept these things forever, imprisoning me in this room.
The senior student couldn't speak, but everything in the room spoke of the girl's overwhelming affection.
What have I been doing these past few days...?
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Nie Qingyun turned and looked in the direction of Ling Yuan and Ellie.
Their gazes met once again.
Unlike before, now the girl's light blue eyes reflected a few tears.
The gentle intro that had been filling the room had just ended, and the chorus was about to begin.
It's Faye Wong's song "The Edge of Love and Pain".
Looking back on this stretch of road, lost and hesitant.
You have kissed my face a thousand times.
