Chapter 117 Are you jealous?
After leaving Chen Ge Hu, the rain continued to fall. Xin Yang silently took out an umbrella from his backpack and said softly, "Let's go and find a hotel to rest first."
Along the way, Xinyang remained silent, silently tilting his umbrella toward Linghua. Linghua repeatedly tried to straighten the umbrella, but each time it tilted back toward her. And so, the two of them arrived at the center of Liyue Harbor.
Linghua pulled Xinyang down the stairs and looked down at her clothes, which were already mostly soaked by the rain. She couldn't help but complain, "What's wrong with you? Look at yourself, you're almost soaked! I'm not the only one traveling here. What if you get sick?"
Seeing Xinyang still silent, Linghua couldn't help but continue to ask, "The General Affairs Department clearly didn't arrange accommodation for us, so why did you lie? Can you stop playing dumb? Normally, you can't wait to talk to me every minute, so why are you so silent now? Why don't you say something?"
Faced with Linghua's barrage of questions, Xinyang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated several times, his already nervous mood now becoming even more uneasy. Xinyang lowered his head, not daring to look Linghua in the eye. His hands fiddled with the corners of his clothes, trying to find something to do to mask his inner panic. After a long moment, he managed to squeeze out a few words: "Nothing... I just... I just feel a little uncomfortable seeing you so close to her..."
As the words came out, Xinyang's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible. However, Linghua still heard every word Xinyang said. A hint of surprise and confusion appeared on Linghua's face, but more of it was an indescribable joy. It turned out that the reason Xinyang behaved so abnormally was because he cared too much about her! This discovery made Linghua's heart surge with a faint sweetness.
"Hahaha." Linghua couldn't help but laugh out loud, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Are you jealous?" Linghua asked deliberately, a hint of teasing in her tone.
Xinyang's face suddenly turned red, and she turned her head away proudly, saying stubbornly: "No, don't talk nonsense." However, Xinyang's expression and tone had already betrayed her true thoughts at the moment.
Linghua didn't care what Xinyang thought, she reached out and gently hugged Xinyang. Feeling Linghua's embrace, Xinyang's body stiffened slightly, and subconsciously wanted to push Linghua away.
"I'm still wet." Xinyang whispered.
But Linghua ignored all of this. She hugged Xinyang tightly, put her head close to Xinyang's ear, and whispered softly, "Hubby, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored your feelings. Please forgive me, okay?"
This series of moves made Xinyang blush, and Linghua took advantage of the situation to follow up, "But husband, Ying is a girl after all, and she's been separated from her brother. We both understand the pain of losing a loved one, don't we? That's why I want to help her."
At this time, Xinyang's mouth was almost curled up to the sky, but she still tried to pretend to be reserved. "Well, you are thoughtful."
Xin Yang then gently hugged Ling Hua back and said softly, "I've known for a long time that you have a kind heart. I was just too narrow-minded."
The two embraced in the rainy Liyue Harbor. After a while, Linghua slowly released her hand and looked up at Xinyang, her eyes filled with determination. "Then we should all be more considerate of each other in the future and not quarrel over trivial matters like this."
Xinyang nodded slightly and took Linghua's hand: "Let's go, let's find a hotel and pack up."
The two walked side by side along the slippery streets and soon found a hotel. After entering the room, Xinyang and Linghua each changed into clean clothes. At this time, the rain gradually stopped, and a ray of warm sunlight filtered through the window. Linghua walked lightly to the window and looked at the rainbow that gradually became clear in the sky. She couldn't help but sigh, "Look, the rainbow after the rain is so beautiful."
Xinyang quietly walked behind Linghua, gently hugged Linghua from behind, and said softly: "Just like us, after going through wind and rain, we will finally usher in a gorgeous rainbow." Linghua turned around, a happy smile on her face, and looked at Xinyang affectionately.
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing fresh air and ruffling Linghua's hair. Xinyang reached out and gently brushed away the loose hair from her forehead, then slowly leaned over and gently kissed Linghua's forehead. Linghua closed her eyes, her heart filled with sweetness.
After a long moment, the two separated, their breathing becoming a bit rapid. Linghua raised her head slightly, looked into Xinyang's eyes, and whispered softly, "It's great to have you, Xinyang." There was a hint of shyness and emotion in her voice.
Xin Yang smiled and responded, "I should be the one saying this. Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life."
Linghua lowered her head shyly, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and her hands unconsciously fiddled with the corner of her clothes.
Just then, the crisp chirping of birds broke the brief silence. Linghua looked out the window and saw a colorful bird perched on a branch, singing happily. Her lips curled up slightly, and her mood brightened.
"Why don't we go out for a walk?" Linghua suggested.
"Okay, it's a good opportunity to enjoy Liyue Harbor after the rain." Xinyang nodded in agreement.
Hand in hand, the two of them left the hotel and strolled through the streets. Liyue Harbor looked especially fresh and charming after the rain. Shops along the streets gradually opened for business, and people went about their daily lives in a busy and orderly manner. Xinyang and Linghua admired this beautiful city while sharing their joys and sorrows.
Before they knew it, the sun was setting, and a brilliant sunset glow covered the horizon. They reached a small bridge, leaned against the railing, and gazed into the distance. The sea, shimmering golden in the setting sun, was a breathtaking sight.
At this time, Paimon and Ying found the two of them breathlessly and said, "Finally found you. Ying has something to ask you."
