Seeing that the other party just nodded absently, Han Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, how about you be happier, or tell me what I need to do to make you happy. If Sister Yin knows that you are so sad when you are with me, she will definitely Will kill me."
Perhaps the topic about her sister was quite important to Zhong Ling. She finally came to her senses and said softly: "I'm sorry, I won't let my sister know. Even if I do, I will explain it to her. This is not ridiculous." Wrong, the problem is on me, and...and I’m not unhappy.”
She took a deep breath and tried to look happy.
Han Zhou sighed, stopped and pointed at the glass wall beside the road: "Is this still called 'no unhappiness'?"
Zhong Ling looked in the direction of his finger. The sky was dark at this time, and a face without a smile was reflected in the glass wall. The rain slapped on the wall, looking like flowing tears.
She subconsciously touched the corners of her eyes, but she didn't feel any moisture.
Although the mirror image is a bit blurry, I am afraid that no one would call this expression "not unhappy".
"I'm sorry," she said softly.
Han Zhou had a headache: "I have said it many times. Although I did send the wrong message, both I and Yixia welcome your arrival. There is no need for you to keep saying sorry."
After a pause, he said thoughtfully, "And if you think about it, the message can be sent to many wrong people, but I only sent it to you by mistake. Isn't this just like what you often say, we two are very destined? ?”
He always blushed, being able to describe carelessness as a fate, so his face couldn't bear it. To say that he was not guilty would of course be a lie. If there hadn't been that news, today would have been a peaceful day. .
No, even with that news, today could be a peaceful day. He didn't understand why Zhong Ling was suddenly so depressed.
Mo Yixia's "expulsion" can only be regarded as an inducement at best, and it is certainly not the key. Could it be that the other party really got emotional and thought of his deceased parents?
"It's very fateful."
Zhong Ling nodded, seeming to agree with Han Zhou's logic, but her mood was still low, and she blamed herself, "But without me, it wouldn't have rained today."
Han Zhou was confused: "What does this have to do with whether it rains or not? You are not Jamel Xiao..."
"Who is Jamel Xiao?" Zhong Ling glanced at him doubtfully.
"Nothing, it's not important. Go on, why won't it rain today without you?" Han Zhou hurriedly responded.
Zhong Ling was silent for a moment, then uneasily tugged on the small cloth bag around her waist, and said sadly: "I saw the weather forecast last night, and it said it would be sunny today. I thought I should be able to go out with you today, but just like this It didn’t take long for it to start raining outside, and it hasn’t stopped until now.”
"Is that why?"
Han Zhou looked strange, and then he seemed to understand something, and suddenly said, "Is that why you haven't heard back from Yixia?"
"Well, I don't know how to reply. I'm worried that if I come, today's weather will get worse and worse." Zhong Ling looked up at the increasingly gloomy sky, her bangs on her forehead were blown up by the wind, and she whispered softly He said, "I really shouldn't have come."
Han Zhou was silent for a moment and then said carefully: "Senior sister, have you ever thought about the possibility that it was not you who was wrong, but the weather forecast in Lincheng?"
There was something wrong with the weather forecast in Lincheng, and he had known about it a long time ago.
Lightning flashed across the sky again, and Zhongling spoke softly amidst the rumbling thunder.
"No, I have always been a very unlucky person. Most of the time I am unlucky, and sometimes it affects other people, just like today."
Han Zhou was stunned. He remembered that Zhong Ling had said something similar before, but at that time the other party just mentioned it casually and didn't seem to care too much. But now it seems that is obviously not the case.
The thunder light illuminated the side of the girl's face. He stared at it for a while and suddenly smiled: "I don't think it's unlucky today. It's just a little rain. It's not like I was struck by lightning."
After the words fell, he deliberately waited for a few seconds and saw that no thunder fell on him, a scumbag, before he continued, "And to be honest, I have never seen a zoo in the rain, which is a good thing for me. "
Zhong Ling shook her head slightly: "But you can't see animals at all on rainy days."
"Then it's just a walk. Being able to stroll around in such a natural place is worth the price of admission." Han Zhou smiled, "And who said you can't see animals on rainy days?"
He raised his hand and pointed behind Zhong Ling, who turned around in confusion and saw two red pandas with wet fur appearing on the tree behind him. They were looking at the two people here with their smart eyes.
"so cute……"
Zhong Ling's eyes flashed and she immediately took out her phone to take a photo.
The wind suddenly increased and she could not hold up the umbrella with one hand. The small mushroom umbrella tilted to one side, and raindrops fell on her right shoulder.
At this moment, Han Zhou came closer and stretched out his big hand to help hold the handle of the umbrella. The disobedient umbrella suddenly became more obedient, blocking the increasingly violent rain outside the umbrella.
"Thank you."
Zhong Ling thanked her softly and carefully arranged her messed up hair.
"You're welcome, just concentrate on taking pictures."
Han Zhou smiled and waved to the red panda not far away.
The two red pandas looked at each other and raised their short arms to wave, as if they were responding to his wave.
Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment and said with a look of disbelief: "They seem to like you very much..."
"Maybe I like you." Han Zhou smiled.
Zhong Ling hesitated for a moment, then followed Han Zhou's example and waved cautiously towards the two red pandas, as if she was afraid that her movements would be too big and scare the two cute elves away.
Under her nervous gaze, the two red pandas responded in the same way, waving their short arms again, looking extremely cute.
"so smart."
Zhong Ling showed surprise, her clear eyes lit up, and she waved her hand cautiously.
The red panda responded again.
Seeing a long-lost smile appear on Zhong Ling's face, Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and quietly watched the interaction between one person and two animals.
To be honest, both the red panda and this senior are very cute in greeting each other at this moment.
This is also due to the skill "Animal Affinity".
[Animal Affinity: You are an animal's partner. With the skill turned on, you will be more likely to gain intimacy and affection from animals. The effect will fluctuate according to the animal's intelligence level (negative correlation). In addition, by consuming two points, you will gain weak telepathy ability in the next thirty seconds. When you focus on an animal, you will have a certain probability of hearing the animal's voice. The effect will fluctuate according to the animal's intelligence level. (positive correlation)]
He had always felt that this skill was of little use before, but now that it can make Zhong Ling happy, it has come in handy.
A few minutes later, Zhong Ling finally put away her phone and reluctantly said goodbye to the two red pandas. Suddenly she was stunned, and only then did she realize a problem.
Just now she used one hand to greet the red panda and the other hand to take pictures, so she had no hand free to hold the umbrella. Why didn't she get wet at all?
She looked at the umbrella hanging above her head, then turned to look to her side. She saw Han Zhou holding two umbrellas just like before, one above her head and the other above her head. She suddenly felt Panicked, he quickly took the umbrella and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm too fascinated..."
She had a great time taking photos of the red pandas here, but she bothered others to hold her umbrella for her and ignored them. This was a very rude thing.
What's even more embarrassing is that this kind of thing happened just now, and I didn't learn the lesson.
"It doesn't matter." Han Zhou said nonchalantly, "Just don't forget to send me the photo."
"Okay...ok, thank you."
Han Zhou sighed helplessly: "Senior sister, you are too reserved today. Am I terrible today?"
"No." Zhong Ling shook her head quickly, "I just, just..."
"Just what?"
"I...I don't know either."
Seeing that the girl had regained her previous depressed look, Han Zhou was stunned, shook his head and smiled, "Forget it if I don't know. Let's keep going. We should still be able to see many interesting animals."
"Ah."
Zhong Ling nodded and was silent for a moment. Then she suddenly tightened her grip on the umbrella handle and hesitated to speak, "Um... Junior Brother, Yi... Is Yixia really not angry?"
"Of course not, I promise." Han Zhou smiled.
"really?"
"real."
Zhong Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while she looked at the other person with determination and asked, "What about you?"
"Me?" Han Zhou was stunned.
"Yes, are you a little unhappy, because today is supposed to be the time for you and Yixia to be alone. I know that your chances of meeting are limited..."
Zhong Ling tugged on the small cloth bag uneasily, "You don't have to take care of my emotions. After all, it's not me you invited... Anyway, if you are unhappy, you can tell me directly."
Han Zhou fell into silence and did not answer for a long time.
"right……"
Zhong Ling became more and more uneasy. Just when she thought her junior had acquiesced to her previous question and was about to apologize, she saw him looking at her with a strange expression.
"Senior sister...don't you think I was forced to come out to play, right?"
Zhong Ling was stunned: "Isn't it? Sister, she..."
"I only respect Sister Yin, not fear. She can't force me to make a decision."
Han Zhou interrupted her and continued, "The reason why I hesitated that night was because the time was not right. After all, I had already made an appointment with Yixia this week, and I don't know your wishes. Sister Yin's ideas are not yours. As long as you are willing, we can definitely change the time to go out and play."
At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said seriously, "By the way, I just said that if you are unhappy, Sister Yin will definitely kill me. What I said was a joke. What I value is your thoughts. "
He had already vaguely realized part of the reason why Zhong Ling would feel disappointed. The other party seemed to think that his arrival today was completely a mistake. Neither he nor Noila Mo was happy. He only accommodated her after considering Zhong Yin's accusation.
She thinks that everyone is being forced to coax her, just like coaxing a child who has not grown up.
Seeing that Zhong Ling didn't speak, Han Zhou didn't keep chattering, but just waited silently for the other party to sort out his thoughts.
The two of them walked slowly on the slope up the mountain. The rainwater flowed down the slope, mixed with dead branches and leaves, and some fine stones.
Han Zhou also saw a few colorful feathers in it, and he didn't know what kind of bird left them.
Even though "animal affinity" has been turned on, there are still no animals seen along the way.
He looked around, suddenly noticed a dodge of sight, turned his head and met Zhong Ling's clear eyes.
The other party seems to have been peeking at me. At this time, he is obviously unable to dodge. He doesn't seem to know whether to look away for a moment. His neck is as stiff as rust, and his eyes have no idea where to look. In the end, he can only bite the bullet. Looking over, a trace of panic and embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
This was the first time Han Zhou saw such an interesting reaction, and he smiled and said, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing... I just want to ask again, are you really not unhappy? Nor... you don't hate me..."
"No, how could I hate you?"
"But it rained today..." Zhong Ling whispered.
"I told you it was the weather forecast's fault." Han Zhou laughed.
"No, I mean, even if I know that going out today may cause rain, and I know that today is your and Yixia's alone time, even if I know that my coming today is wrong, I still come Already..."
Zhong Ling pulled the small cloth bag tightly, her knuckles turned white, and the cloth bag gradually deformed under the constant pulling. Although she was so nervous that she wanted to put away her words and escape from here, but she never moved her steps, nor did she He looked away from Han Zhou.
Taking a deep breath, she seemed to have made up her mind and asked in an unprecedentedly low voice, "...even if I am such a bad woman, won't you hate me?"
A white light streaked across the sky, followed by a dull thunder, making her unsure whether her junior student had given an answer at that moment.
The other party didn't speak for a long time, and there was only the sound of rain pouring all around.
