(Xiaolong is going out this afternoon, so the next chapter might be posted later. Please forgive me ~ ~)
Hao Ren looked at her and thought, "Didn't you ignore me?"
However, he wasn't that petty. He turned around and picked up the room card. "Let's go."
Zhao Yanzi was secretly relieved. She thought Hao Ren would ask her to go out and eat by herself. She was unfamiliar with this place. If it weren't for her stomach growling and her parents not around, she wouldn't have asked Hao Ren to go out with her.
Thinking back to how she had ignored Hao Ren on purpose and now came to beg him pitifully, Zhao Yanzi's momentum weakened a bit.
They walked out of the hotel and looked for a small restaurant nearby. However, it was already past nine o 'clock and almost ten o' clock at night. Most of the restaurants were closed. They searched aimlessly around the hotel but didn't find any open restaurants. Instead, they became even hungrier.
Zhao Yanzi stayed close to Hao Ren, afraid that she would get lost. Hao Ren walked along the relatively deserted street and finally saw a small restaurant open up ahead.
They hurried in and were about to order two bowls of rice with meat and vegetables to fill their stomachs. However, they suddenly realized that the restaurant was full of burly men. Some of them had shaved heads, and some of them were shirtless. They were all shouting and competing with each other.
Zhao Yanzi was a little scared and wanted to pull Hao Ren out of the restaurant. Hao Ren grabbed her little hand and comforted her, "It's okay."
He was so hungry that he didn't have the energy to find another restaurant. It seemed that it would be very difficult to find another restaurant that was still open at this time.
He took Zhao Yanzi to a corner and sat down. He said to the owner who came up to them, "One bowl of fish-flavored shredded pork and one bowl of stir-fried pork with green peppers."
He ordered one for Zhao Yanzi. If it were any other time, Zhao Yanzi would definitely blame Hao Ren for making the decision on his own. However, she was vigilantly looking at those 'dangerous men' and didn't have the mood to talk back to Hao Ren.
"How can you not get drunk when you're wandering in the world? Three cups, five cups … "The men at the other tables drank and played rock-paper-scissors. The atmosphere was getting hotter and hotter, and their voices were getting louder and louder.
Zhao Yanzi looked at them and thought for a moment. Then, she suddenly moved from the seat across from Hao Ren to the seat next to him.
Hao Ren looked at her frightened expression, smiled, and reached out a hand to her.
Zhao Yanzi froze for a moment before realizing that he was asking her to give him her hand.
"Go to hell!" Zhao Yanzi scolded in a low voice. She wasn't that scared.
Soon, two steaming hot bowls of rice were served. Zhao Yanzi picked up a plate and wolfed it down.
Hao Ren was also starving. He took the other portion of rice and wolfed it down.
Judging from the way they ate, they really were a well-matched couple.
After eating, both of their stomachs felt warm. Zhao Yanzi didn't want to stay here any longer. She asked Hao Ren to pay the bill and hurried out of the restaurant.
The town at the foot of the mountain was too quiet. The distant mountain range formed a continuous shadow in the dark night.
The moonlight shone on the two of them, forming two shadows, one long and one short, on the flat cement ground.
Zhao Yanzi looked at the shadows in front of her, and she suddenly realized that she was too close to Hao Ren. She immediately moved away.
Whoosh … A stray cat made a noise, and it scared Zhao Yanzi and made her move closer to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren faced her and put his hand in front of her again.
Zhao Yanzi looked at him and thought for a few seconds. "Just for a while."
Then, she put her palm in Hao Ren's hand.
All of a sudden, her restless heart became at ease. She was no longer as afraid as she was before, even if there was any movement around her.
Hao Ren didn't say anything. He quietly led her back to the hotel.
The leisurely town, the quiet mountain range, the light breathing, the light footsteps, and the slightly wet palm …
After walking for about ten minutes, they returned to the parking lot in front of the hotel, and their eyes lit up.
Hao Ren tactfully let go of Zhao Yanzi's hand. Zhao Yanzi turned to look at Hao Ren and seemed to want to say something harsh, but she swallowed it.
She blushed and felt useless. Suddenly, she walked into the hotel angrily. Hao Ren couldn't guess what she was thinking, but he knew that Zhao Yanzi wasn't a gentle and obedient loli.
Hao Ren followed her into the hotel. When he returned to his room, he found that Zhao Guang wasn't back yet.
"He must have been too engrossed in talking with Zhao Yanzi's parents and friends and forgot about the time." Hao Ren thought.
He lay on the bed and opened Zhao Yanzi's pink backpack. He took out the camera and found that it only took one picture all day. It was the picture of Zhao Yanzi squatting on the stairs and looking up angrily.
"It's not that annoying …" Hao Ren shook his head with a smile and put the camera away.
When he came out of the bathroom after a hot shower, he found that Zhao Guang was back.
Zhao Guang asked about the mountaineering today, and Hao Ren gave him a brief answer. Zhao Guang nodded and didn't say anything else. He went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Hao Ren crawled into bed awkwardly. He guessed that Zhao Hongyu must be asking Zhao Yanzi about today's situation in the opposite room.
No matter what, they managed to get Zhao Yanzi down the mountain successfully. It was troublesome to take care of this girl.
After a long day of hard work, Hao Ren fell asleep before Zhao Guang came out of the bathroom.
When he woke up the next day, Hao Ren saw Zhao Guang leaning against the bed and watching TV.
"Were you tired yesterday?" Zhao Guang asked when Hao Ren woke up.
"Not bad," Hao Ren answered.
"We'll go eat some local food and then get ready to go home," Zhao Guang said.
"Ok." Hao Ren nodded. He thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hospitality these two days."
"Get up." Zhao Guang walked to the window and opened the curtains.
It was drizzling outside, and the mountain scenery was hazy and beautiful. A trace of cooler air than yesterday came in through the window, and it was refreshing.
Hao Ren put on his shirt and went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. When everything was ready, he followed Zhao Guang to the opposite room and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Zhao Yanzi stood at the door with her mother.
The younger one was wearing a milk-colored long T-shirt and a beautiful pair of dark purple leggings. Her upper body was loose, and her lower body was tight. Not to mention the cute top, the tight-fitting leggings made her legs look graceful and slender. Hao Ren couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The older one was wearing a Bohemian-style floral dress. The exaggerated and abstract patterns combined with the fluffy style looked casual and beautiful.
The mother and daughter each wore a straw hat. The coffee-colored wide-brimmed straw hat complemented Zhao Hongyu's light and dark dress, making her look elegant. The straw hat looked a bit weird with Zhao Yanzi's dress, but it was still a bit out of tradition. In this gloomy weather, it added a playful and beautiful view.
"Let's go." Zhao Hongyu gently held Zhao Yanzi's little hand and handed the room card to Zhao Guang.
Zhao Guang led Hao Ren along the red-carpeted hallway of the hotel toward the front desk.
Walking through the winding corridor of the hotel, GreenStone Mountain in the rain and mist entered his eyes like a freehand landscape painting.
Suddenly, Hao Ren felt like he was a part of their family.
