Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera

"Let them be jealous, then. It’s their fault for not having a girlfriend as cute as mine."

Ye Ling hmphed softly.

"Stinky, you know... I’ve always wanted to say this. You’re such a scoundrel."

Ning Ruoxi suddenly pushed Ye Ling away, looked into his eyes, and said with a completely serious expression.

At that moment, Ye Ling was stunned, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

To be honest, when Ning Ruoxi had pushed him away and given him that deep look, he thought she was about to say something cheesy and romantic...

But instead, he got this?

’You’re such a scoundrel?’

’You have no eye for detail! You’ve ruined so many of my tender moments!’

Ye Ling sighed, feeling a bit gloomy, and gave Ning Ruoxi a somewhat resentful look.

"But... I happen to love this scoundrel side of you."

However, Ning Ruoxi suddenly smiled softly and said in an extremely playful tone.

Seeing the gloomy expression on his face, she couldn’t help but let out a laugh like tinkling silver bells. ’Ye Ling is so cute right now!’ she thought.

"You little rascal."

Ye Ling grumpily reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Mmm, you’re messing up my hair."

Ning Ruoxi immediately protested with dissatisfaction.

She hadn’t tied her hair up today, choosing to wear it down over her shoulders instead.

Because Ye Ling had told her before that she looked better with her hair down!

"Then let’s tie it up for now."

Ye Ling smiled slightly, took the little bunny hair tie from his wrist, then reached behind her head. He gently gathered her beautiful hair and tied it up simply.

His technique was really clumsy. Not only was the tie a little loose, but the ponytail was also a bit crooked.

Ning Ruoxi naturally noticed this, but she was quite satisfied in her heart. At least it meant that Ye Ling had never tied another girl’s hair before!

Instantly, her mood became wonderful again. She even linked arms with Ye Ling and started walking with a skip in her step.

Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi spent the entire day at the amusement park, going on basically all the rides.

Gradually, night fell.

Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi got on the Ferris wheel.

"It’s so beautiful."

Sitting in the Ferris wheel cabin, Ning Ruoxi looked at the incomparably brilliant lights in the distance. Tilting her head up, she saw a sky full of stars and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

"All I see is you; a billion stars couldn’t compare."

Ye Ling turned his head at that moment and said with a deeply affectionate gaze.

"!!!"

Ning Ruoxi’s eyes widened instantly. She looked at Ye Ling, her eyes sparkling. "Wow, Stinky, you’re hitting on me again~~ Where do you get all these cheesy pickup lines?"

"The lines might be borrowed, but my love for you is real."

Ye Ling replied with another slight smile.

"!!!"

At that moment, Ning Ruoxi just wanted to shout to the heavens.

Oh!

’Heavens, my maiden heart!’

When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, Ye Ling leaned in and kissed Ning Ruoxi.

Legend has it that a couple who kisses at the top of a Ferris wheel will be happy for a lifetime...

In the past, Ye Ling would never have believed such things, but for Ning Ruoxi, he was willing to believe.

"Tonight... let’s not go home, okay?"

Ye Ling said, looking at the girl in his arms.

"You’re terrible!"

Ning Ruoxi immediately shot him a glare.

’What is this big pervert thinking about all day?’

"That’s not it... Ruoruo, I was just thinking that if we go back now, that little brat Luo Yue will definitely tease us," Ye Ling said with a completely innocent face.

He swore he wasn’t thinking about anything bad at all!

"Really?"

Ning Ruoxi glanced at Ye Ling.

"Really..."

The innocent look on Ye Ling’s face deepened.

Ning Ruoxi thought for a moment. It seemed Ye Ling did have a point.

After all, they had been out playing all day. If they went back at this hour, that little rascal Luo Yue would definitely cause a scene.

"Then let’s just stay somewhere for the night. It is getting late, after all..."

Ning Ruoxi said, sticking her little tongue out.

At this moment, her face was also blushing a tender pink.

Although this wasn’t her first time going to a hotel, the last time was to film a video. This time, they were really going to stay at one!

"Alrighty."

A wicked smile immediately touched the corners of Ye Ling’s lips.

Although he didn’t actually plan on "eating" the little minx, staying at a hotel would surely come with some benefits that he couldn’t get at home, right?

"Stinky, I think your expression is a little... scoundrel-like."

Ning Ruoxi said, blinking at Ye Ling.

"Really?"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow.

"Really."

Ning Ruoxi said with a serious face.

At that moment, Ye Ling felt his fragile heart take another blow. Even a good deal of his excitement about going to a hotel with Ning Ruoxi had vanished.

Seeing Ye Ling’s somewhat gloomy expression, a smile played on Ning Ruoxi’s lips.

"Let’s go~"

Ning Ruoxi hugged Ye Ling’s arm and skipped along, her mood the complete opposite of his.

At that moment, Ye Ling was pondering something: when exactly had he left such a shameless and lecherous impression in Ning Ruoxi’s mind?

A young man and woman getting a hotel room late at night—if you said nothing was going to happen, no one would believe you.

But Ye Ling seemed completely unfazed. He casually found a hotel and said to the front desk clerk with perfect composure, "One room with a king-sized bed."

’There he goes again!’

Ning Ruoxi was secretly shooting daggers at Ye Ling with her eyes.

"Sir, your girlfriend is very beautiful. I wish you a wonderful evening."

The male receptionist looked at Ye Ling and gave him a smile that all men understand.

"Thank you. I also think my girlfriend is indeed very beautiful."

Ye Ling replied very seriously. Then, ignoring Ning Ruoxi’s bashful expression, he pulled her toward the elevator.

"Ah, young people these days. It really makes one envious."

The middle-aged man sat down and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

Once inside the room, Ning Ruoxi immediately glared at Ye Ling coquettishly. "You bad guy, were you doing that on purpose?"

"What was I doing on purpose...?"

Ye Ling instantly put on an aggrieved expression again.

Looking at his expression, Ning Ruoxi felt like she had just punched a sponge. She shook her head helplessly.

It seemed she really couldn’t do anything about this guy.

"I’m going to take a shower first."

Ning Ruoxi said as she walked into the bathroom.

"Wait."

Ye Ling suddenly grabbed her.

"What’s wrong?"

Ning Ruoxi gave Ye Ling a strange look.

"Wait a moment."

As he spoke, Ye Ling walked to the door and turned off the lights.

When the room suddenly went dark, Ning Ruoxi felt completely at ease. She didn’t think Ye Ling would do anything to her. If he was going to, he would have done so long ago.
