God's Gift

The night faded away silently, and with the sound of roosters crowing, the first ray of light broke through the sky. With the help of Qingci, Yu Youyou put on complicated clothes, finished her breakfast in a hurry, and ran out of the mansion.

As soon as she ran to the gate, she was stopped by Ning Jin who was waiting at the gate early in the morning.

"Youyou, I will go out with you today."

Hearing this, Yu Youyou widened her eyes in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Ajin, you want to leave the house?"

Ning Jin looked at Yu Youyou's expression, smiled, and said, "Due to my health, I haven't been able to travel around the city in the past few years. My brother is the one who receives the Fang family's visits."

"Fang Ling gave me so many books yesterday, many of which are collectible editions. I guess he must have put a lot of thought into them. I want to go..."

"Thank him personally."

"But how should I tell Ning Yue about this?" Yu Youyou lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then asked Ning Jin.

When Ning Jin heard Yu Youyou mention Ning Yue, he said confidently, "Brother has already left the house. I have already made arrangements. We will leave the house quietly and come back early."

Hearing this, Yu Youyou's eyes lit up, "Okay then!"

She ran to Ning Jin's side, took Ning Jin's hand happily, and led her out of the house, saying as she walked:

"I have traveled all over Gusu City in the past two years. I can take you anywhere!"

Ning Jin looked at her, a new girl who actually looked more like a local than she, a local, and couldn't help laughing and said:

"it is good."

-

The two first went to the City Lord's Mansion, but were told by the servants that Fang Ling had already left the mansion. After careful thought, Yu Youyou listed all the places where she had met Fang Ling before, and took Ning Jin to try her luck one by one.

But as they walked, they were dazzled by the bustling streets.

Ning Jin seldom went out, and he felt curious about all kinds of gadgets he saw on the street. From time to time, he would ask Yu Youyou what those things were, and Yu Youyou would stop and carefully explain them to Ning Jin.

As they walked, they arrived in front of Huachun Boat. Yu Youyou thought of Lu Keming, so she stopped and looked inside.

Ning Jin saw Yu Youyou stop and followed her gaze. But there were singing and dancing in the beautiful spring boat. Ning Jin looked at those gorgeous girls and asked jokingly:

"Youyou likes these too?"

"No." Yu Youyou glanced at the crowd and did not see Lu Keming. She shook her head and said, "My friend is here."

"Friends." Ning Jin was a little surprised to hear Yu Youyou's answer and asked, "Is your friend in Huachunfang?"

"Yes." Yu Youyou nodded without any concealment.

Ning Jin's expression was a little difficult to describe, but he didn't say much.

At this time, Qingyi was singing for the guests. He looked towards the shore from the boat and saw Yu Youyou and another lady in luxurious clothes.

When she saw Yu Youyou, Qingyi's eyes lit up. She immediately stopped singing the little song she was singing, ran down from the stage, quickly got off the boat, and ran towards Yu Youyou.

As soon as he left, the guests in Huachunfang became noisy, but other actors soon took their place on the stage and calmed the guests' complaints.

"Miss Yu." The beads on Qingyi's head swayed as he ran. He took a breath, a smile of anticipation spread across his face, and he said:

"Ms. Yu, are you here to paint the Spring Boat?"

Yu Youyou looked at the heavily made-up Qingyi and carefully identified her for a long time before she realized that she was the actress from yesterday. She replied, "I was just passing by and came to see if Luo Chen was there."

When Qingyi heard Luo Chen's name, the smile on her face froze for a second, but she quickly and naturally continued:

"Luo Chen is not in the boat today. It seems that he went out early. If Miss Yu wants to find him, she can wait for a while in the boat. If there is any song you want to hear, Qingyi can sing it for you to relieve your fatigue."

"No, we still need to find someone else."

Ning Jin, who was looking at Qingyi from the side, finally spoke at this time. She looked at the undisguised desire in Qingyi's eyes and her tone of voice was not enthusiastic.

"Miss, are you still looking for someone?" After hearing Ning Jin's words, Qingyi did not retreat at all. Instead, he said, "Although I am just an actor, there are many people coming and going in Huachunfang. Maybe I have seen the person you are looking for."

Hearing this, Yu Youyou continued to ask: "Have you met Fang Ling?"

Ning Jin didn't want to ask Qingyi, and his expression was not as friendly as he was facing Youyou, and he said softly: "Fang Ling shouldn't be here, let's go, Youyou."

Qingyi looked at Ning Jin's cold expression, and gradually felt humiliated in her heart, but she still smiled and said:

"Unfortunately, Mr. Fang happened to be in the boat."

Hearing this, Ning Jin paused, and then looked at Qingyi who was smiling. His expression turned not so good at this time, and his eyes became a little colder.

"What are you doing here? Fang Ling wants to buy people too?" Yu Youyou didn't understand the right and wrong of this. She looked at Qingyi with puzzled eyes.

Being looked at like this by Yu Youyou, Qingyi's breathing tightened, she lowered her head slightly, and answered softly, "I don't know, but Mr. Fang didn't come to Huachunfang often in the past."

Ning Jin's health was not good to begin with. Her delicate face had been pale for years, and now it looked even paler. But she was not as angry as before. She just calmed down, smiled faintly, and said to Qingyi:

"In that case, let's go in and take a look."

"Yes." When Qingyi heard Ning Jin's agreement, the smile on her face became more genuine, and she led the two of them into Huachun Fang.

Fang Ling was not in the private room on the second floor. He was sitting in the hall with other guests. There was no one else serving him. He was holding a plate of fried peanuts, throwing them into the air one by one and then reaching out to catch them.

"Fang Ling, what are you doing here?" Yu Youyou walked across the seats in the hall and came behind Fang Ling. She spoke and startled Fang Ling who was opening his mouth to take a peanut.

"Shit..." Fang Ling almost choked on the peanuts. He turned around and saw that it was Yu Youyou. He immediately stood up and said:

"Yu Youyou, what are you doing here as a girl?"

He waved his hand and drove them away: "Hurry up and go! Go somewhere else if you want to play."

"I came here because Ajin said he wanted to see you." Yu Youyou stood there motionless and said to him seriously.

Hearing this, Fang Ling's first reaction was that Yu Youyou told Ning Jin what she said yesterday. She immediately blushed and said excitedly:

"You won't tell Ning Jin that I want to see her?"

Yu Youyou was about to deny it, but Fang Ling said without stopping: "I've already said that I don't like Ning Jin, and I don't want to see her, why did you tell her?"

He finished speaking in one breath. Yu Youyou was silent for a while and turned to look at Ning Jin.

Fang Ling then noticed the frail woman next to Yu Youyou, who was wearing a large coat and a snow-white fur collar, and asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Ning Jin took a step forward and looked at Fang Ling leisurely, with a faint smile on his face, which made his sick face look a little more lively. He said softly:

"I am Ning Jin."
