Incurable Pain | Chapter 93.2


These days, Bai Xunyin had sent him quite a few photos of the scenery in the ancient town. Compared to Linlan City, it had snowed a little there, and the pure white snow sprinkled on the branches and twigs, making it exceptionally beautiful.


Yu Luoyin chuckled enviously. 


“Celebrating New Year in the ancient town, is it very interesting?”


Bai Xunyin thought for a moment. Actually, she felt that celebrating New Year was just like that. It wasn’t particularly interesting, but she still nodded.


“I guess it is.” 


Yu Luoyin then took her wrist again as they walked out of the alley together. Bai Xunyin heard him sigh, not sure if it was a sigh. 


“Unlike our home… celebrating New Year there is purely boring.”


Why would their home be boring?


Bai Xunyin blinked in confusion, feeling like there was some deeper meaning behind his words.


But before she could think deeply about it, she noticed that they had already walked from the alley to the roadside.


Yu Luoyin seemed to have seen something. He paused for a moment, slowly raised the hand holding the phone, as if taking a picture of the scenery.


Huh? 


Bai Xunyin was taken aback and subconsciously tried to take a look.


Unfortunately, she was short, and her line of sight was blocked by Yu Luoyin.


When Yu Luoyin continued to walk as if nothing had happened, Bai Xunyin took out her phone and asked: 


[What were you just looking at?]


She was curious because she keenly felt Yu Luoyin’s fingers holding hers stiffen.


Yu Luoyin pondered for a moment, then shook his head slowly. 


“It’s nothing.”


It’s just that he seemed to have seen a few suspicious figures, all tall, adult men who didn’t look like good people.


But that alone wouldn’t be a big deal. There were good and bad people in the world, and he couldn’t control them all.


However, those men just now seemed to… their lewd gaze was directed towards their direction, or more precisely, towards Bai Xunyin.


This was a bit troublesome. Could this little girl somehow attract these unsavory types?


Yu Luoyin kept this in mind and took a picture of those people.


He casually hailed a taxi and took Bai Xunyin inside, teasingly saying along the way, “I’ll take you to a fun place.”


Both of them sat in the back seat of the car, very close to each other. Yu Luoyin’s dark eyes were just inches away, making Bai Xunyin feel a bit nervous. 


She subconsciously held her breath, staring at him curiously, as if asking, ‘Where are we going?’


Yu Luoyin smiled but didn’t speak, just saying, “You’ll know when we get there.”


Then he took out his phone, casually draped his arm around her shoulder, and together they looked at some boring apps.


But Bai Xunyin gave the random short videos on the phone with just a pa.s.sing glance and couldn’t hold her interest.


Her thoughts were all concentrated on Yu Luoyin’s arm around her, his slender fingers nervously intertwined with hers in the darkness.


She didn’t know why, but she felt that after the New Year, Yu Luoyin seemed to have changed a bit.


Before, when they were at school, their interactions were always cautious. Even when Yu Luoyin held her hand or teased her intentionally, they always kept a distance. 


Now… he seemed more natural.


But while he was natural, Bai Xunyin felt a bit uncomfortable.


She wasn’t quite used to this level of ‘intimacy’ with him.


Little did she know, Yu Luoyin was now acting freely after letting go of his inhibitions—this was what he had wanted for a long time, but he had always felt ‘guilty’ whenever he wanted to get close to her.


However, the boy couldn’t perceive the specific adjective to describe this psychological state. He just felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his heart after he and Li Yuan had agreed that the ‘bet’ didn’t count anymore.


Now, there were no secrets between them, and he could freely interact with Bai Xunyin.


He liked the serene and gentle aura of this little girl. Once he got close to her, he couldn’t help but be enchanted.


After about half an hour of driving, the car stopped at a square near the seaside.


The driver collected the fare and said, “There are a lot of tourists now, so the car can’t go in. You two can walk a bit.”


“Alright.” 


Yu Luoyin seemed very excited, tossing a fifty-dollar bill and not waiting for the change, he pulled Bai Xunyin out of the car.


Before Bai Xunyin could reproach him for his ‘extravagant’ behavior, Yu Luoyin rubbed his temples and breathed in the fresh air, unable to help but exclaim, “I can’t stand it anymore, the air freshener in that taxi was too stinky.”



Bai Xunyin was speechless, smiling wryly, looking at him with a helpless look in her clear eyes.


“Don’t look at me, look over there.” 


The boy exaggeratedly put down his hand covering his nose and turned to grip Bai Xunyin’s shoulder. 


He adjusted her body a bit and said, “Fireworks.”


At this moment, the two of them were standing on the edge of a square overlooking the sea, with vast and boundless starry sky above them, and fireworks were continuously lighting up the sky because of the New Year.


And below was the deep and tranquil sea, illuminated by the light from the sky, with a thin layer of ice seemingly floating on it.


This was an extremely popular tourist attraction in Linlan, but very few people came here in winter, let alone during the Spring Festival.


The people who came here now were locals who specifically came to watch the fireworks. There weren’t too many of them, and Bai Xunyin didn’t realize that she was being protected by the young man as she stared at the sky in a daze.


“Do you think,” Yu Luoyin murmured as he watched with her, “there will be shooting stars tonight?”


Bai Xunyin couldn’t help but laugh and texted: [Do you want to make a wish too?]


“Mm.” 


Yu Luoyin readily admitted, his clear eyes full of openness. 


“There must be many wishes.”


Bai Xunyin typed: [What do you want to wish for?]


“Want to exchange wishes? Unfortunately, I don’t have shooting stars to wish on, unlike you in the ancient town.” 


Yu Luoyin smiled and teased before saying, “My wish… there’s only half a year until the college entrance examination, so let’s try to take it together.”


In this world, everyone emphasizes the principle of “doing one’s best,” but sometimes one is inclined to force things.
