Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 192 The Love of the Heavenly Radiance (3)
Seeing the person in front of her looking so weak, Shi Yao'er felt a sudden pang of heartache, which made her feel a little flustered: "What's wrong with me?"
The two sat on the stone bench. Tang Tianlei rested quietly to speed up the recovery of his mental strength. Shi Yao'er checked on Tang Tianlei's condition from time to time and quietly stayed by his side. Soon, the sun hung in the west, and the fiery red sunset created a sky full of fiery clouds. Under the red glow, the crowd in the square slowly disappeared, leaving only two figures.
"Brother Sanshi?"
This seemed to be the most earnest question Shi Yao'er had ever asked Tang Tianlei since they had known each other for only two days: "How are you feeling? Are you alright?"
Tang Tianlei seemed to be awakened from his dream. He slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, but then quickly sat up straight. It turned out that when he was recovering his mental strength, he had unknowingly fallen asleep. When he woke up, he found that he had fallen asleep on Shi Yao'er's shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Yang'er... I fell asleep." Tang Tianlei's panic was noticed by Shi Yao'er, who chuckled and said, "It's alright. After all, you're exhausted because of me."
Looking at Shi Yao'er's serious expression, Tang Tianlei felt that the person in front of him seemed to have changed his style again, giving him a different feeling. Looking around again, it was already dark, and there was no other light except for a few dim lanterns next to the stone bench.
"Oh dear, it's already dark! Oh no, I have to go home, or my father will punish me." Tang Tianlei was startled and stood up to leave, but then he thought better of it and stood still. He turned around and said, "Miss Yang'er, how about I take you home first?"
“Okay, but my home is nearby, so let me walk with you for a while.” Shi Yao’er hesitated for a moment, but ultimately declined Tang Tianlei’s suggestion in a tactful way. Instead, she said that she would walk with him for a while. She was the daughter of the county magistrate. If this blockhead knew her identity, would he still approach her without any scruples like he did now?
Tang Tianlei's thoughts were similar to Shi Yao'er's. He was the eldest son of the Tang family, a prominent family in Qingfeng County, and the future heir of the Tang family. If Shi Yao'er knew his identity, would she have other ideas? Would she have many concerns or thoughts?
But he did not refuse Shi Yao'er's suggestion. The two walked side by side in silence, from the dim square to the brightly lit street. On the street, there was a lot of noise around them. As if they had a tacit understanding, they remained silent in the noise.
Soon they came to a crossroads, and Shi Yao'er stopped first. She could not go any further. If she went any further, she would be near the prefectural governor's mansion, an area where the guards and servants often moved around, and it would be very likely that her identity would be exposed.
"What's wrong?" Tang Tianlei asked, stopping as well when he saw Shi Yao'er stop.
"Brother Sanshi, I can't go with you anymore. I'm home, it's nearby." Shi Yao'er said earnestly, looking into Tang Tianlei's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Tang Tianlei looked around and then said, "Oh, I see." After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Okay, then you should go home now. I'll be going now."
"Well, you go."
Tang Tianlei turned around and continued walking forward, but before he had taken two steps, Shi Yao'er's voice came from behind him: "Wait a minute!"
He quickly turned around and saw Shi Yao'er standing in front of him, holding a handkerchief and handing it to him, saying, "Here, this is for wiping your sweat today. Remember to wash it clean and return it to me tomorrow. Change the time to morning, still at the square."
"Oh, okay." Tang Tianlei took the handkerchief. "Then I'm off."
"Go ahead." Shi Yao'er waved to him, and Tang Tianlei turned and left. Only after he walked away did Shi Yao'er feel relieved and head towards the Prefectural Commandant's Mansion.
Halfway there, Tang Tianlei suddenly came to his senses: "Give me a handkerchief? To return it to her tomorrow? Tomorrow morning... Ah! We can still meet tomorrow!" Only then did he recall Shi Yao'er's words. After understanding what she meant, Tang Tianlei was extremely excited. If there hadn't been so many people on the street, he would have wanted to dance and cheer on the spot.
The next morning, Tang Tianlei brought a clean handkerchief to the maple tree and waited for the petite figure. Before long, a bright yellow figure appeared at the street corner in the distance. When the person got closer, Tang Tianlei realized that it was the person who had haunted his dream the night before.
He happily greeted her with the handkerchief in hand, about to hand it to Shi Yao'er, but before he could speak, Shi Yao'er said, "I'm so hungry, let's go have breakfast!" Then, ignoring the handkerchief in Tang Tianlei's hand, she pulled his arm and walked towards the street, seemingly having already forgotten that she had asked Tang Tianlei to wash her handkerchief and return it to her the day before.
Tang Tianlei was dragged by Shi Yao'er to a breakfast shop. He sat down in a daze, picked up the handkerchief in a daze, and then finished his breakfast amidst Shi Yao'er's chattering laughter. When he came to his senses, he found himself shopping with Shi Yao'er. The rapid change in pace almost made Tang Tianlei's brain freeze.
So he simply stopped thinking about all that and put aside all his worries to enjoy the moment.
"Does it look good?" Shi Yao'er picked out a hairpin and put it in her hair, then turned her head and asked in a mischievous way.
"Yes, it looks good and suits Yang'er very well."
"Okay, I'll buy it then, boss, checkout."
Upon arriving at the clothing store, Shi Yao'er made Tang Tianlei wait a moment, then came out wearing a new dress: "How's this? Does it look good?"
"Yes, it looks good and suits Yang'er very well."
"But I already have several pink outfits. Oh well, I can't have too many. Boss, please wrap them up for me!"
Next, they went to a jewelry store. Shi Yao'er picked out a gold bracelet, put it on her wrist, looked at it from left to right, and was very satisfied. Then she turned to Tang Tianlei and asked, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good, and it suits you perfectly..."
"Stop!" Before Tang Tianlei could finish speaking, Shi Yao'er stopped him, leaving him confused.
"Are you going to say next, 'Hmm, it looks good, it suits Yang'er very well'?" Shi Yao'er stared into his eyes.
"Huh? How did you know I was going to say..."
"Stop!" Shi Yao'er was furious. This blockhead was driving her crazy. "You really are a blockhead. Can't you use a different way of addressing me? What's with all this 'Miss'? It sounds so formal and makes me feel old!"
"Uh, then, how should I address you, Aunt Yang'er..." Realizing he was about to say something wrong again, Tang Tianlei quickly shut up under Shi Yao'er's murderous glare.
"I'm asking you, what have I been calling you these past two days?" Shi Yao'er was on the verge of tears. She had reminded him so obviously, but this blockhead still didn't understand. He wasn't just not a blockhead, he was just like his name, a stone head!
"You called me? You always call me Brother Sanshi... Oh! I know!" Tang Tianlei continued following Shi Yao'er's train of thought, suddenly realizing something, and then felt a surge of joy.
"What do you know?" Shi Yao'er asked impatiently, seeing that he seemed to have figured it out.
"From now on, I'll call you Yang'er... little sister, okay?" Tang Tianlei asked cautiously.
