Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

Zhang Qiling could guess some reasons for these actions, but he had no intention of digging deeper. He just let Qin Yuchen do what he wanted and waited quietly for him to calm down.

Maybe I heard someone talking not far away. Or maybe the wind was getting colder.

This situation did not last long. Qin Yuchen seemed to have calmed down. He let go of his hand and took a step back to create some distance between him and Zhang Qiling.

"Let's go."

Zhang Qiling pursed his lips and did not respond immediately. His eyes stared at Qin Yuchen's face without blinking. After judging from some subtle facial expressions that Qin Yuchen was really fine, he nodded and led the way to the residence.

----

The next few days were relatively peaceful and stable.

Zhang Qiling’s daily task is to stay in an inconspicuous room for a while.

Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I will go to the old man to record some things.

Qin Yuchen's life is even more monotonous. He has hardly ever gone out since he came here.

The only thing I do when I go out is to go to the cafeteria to eat at a fixed time and place.

There is a special place for cooking in the temple, and the time is also set. If you miss the meal time, you can either not eat or continue to eat dry food.

Therefore, it is rare for Qin Yuchen to have a regular diet in the morning, noon and evening.

As for what he had been thinking about that night, he still felt embarrassed if he really had to accompany Zhang Qiling to stay in that room.

For some unknown reason, Qin Yuchen still failed to step in and stay by Zhang Qiling's side.

Another morning, heavy snow once again covered the entire Lama Temple.

The monk who came back from the mountain brought the news that the road was blocked by heavy snow, which also proved that they had to set off again.

Qin Yuchen came to the stone statue again in the wind and snow.

This was his third time to see the statue. The first two times he stood side by side with the statue, his eyes fixed on the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

This time, he set his sights on the stone statue.

The light snowflakes fell on the head and shoulders of the stone statue, and slid down its cheeks and melted into Qin Yuchen's hands.

The cold and calm god began to have emotions from then on. The cold falling snow served as tears again and again, expressing the god's unspeakable sorrow.

But this time, someone caught it and wiped the trace for him.

He wore a thick black cape with a crooked but tight bow at his chin, and a wide hood followed.

This way, most of the cold wind and snow are blocked.

The sound of footsteps in the snow was particularly clear. Qin Yuchen paused while adjusting his cloak, turned his head to look at the person who had just stopped walking a few steps away from him, and asked with a smile:

"Are you leaving?"

"Ah."

Zhang Qiling also smiled and raised his hand, waiting for someone to come over.

Qin Yuchen finished what he hadn't done, walked over to Zhang Qiling in two or three steps, grabbed his hand and shook himself: "It's so cold."

"Gloves." Zhang Qiling glanced at the gloves held in someone's left hand, and did not expect him to put them on immediately. Instead, he held the hand tightly in his hand, letting the warmth be transferred to him bit by bit.

Of course Qin Yuchen knew what Zhang Qiling meant and also noticed his eyes.

However, seeing that Zhang Qiling was the only one holding his hand without a glove, he was not in a hurry to pull it back and put it on.

He followed Zhang Qiling forward with a smile on his face:

"Don't worry, your hands are still wet from slapping the snow."

"……Um."

After the two men said goodbye to the old man, the two horses that had not been seen for a few days reappeared in front of them when they walked out of the yard.

The two little monks were still leading the horses. They bowed slightly and then handed the reins to the two men.

The two took it and continued to go deep into the mountains.

Without interference from external factors, their journey went relatively smoothly. Although the speed was slow, they did not encounter any danger along the way, so they still managed to travel a lot of distance in a day.

But now it's getting dark and it's no longer suitable to travel.

So they found a suitable place to rest and ended the day's journey.

Qin Yuchen fixed the tent, opened two folding chairs, and found a relatively flat place to put them.

After sitting down, he took out the compressed biscuits, tore open the bag and had dinner.

Zhang Qiling had also fed the two horses by this time. Qin Yuchen looked at him walking towards him, and naturally gave the other half in his hand to Zhang Qiling, then patted the seat beside him and motioned for him to sit down.

There was nothing to see in the endless snow-capped mountains, and even the sky was pitch black without a single star to be seen.

The only warm light in the icy and snowy world came from the lamp hanging outside the tent, shining warmly on the shoulders of the two people.

Qin Yuchen finished the compressed biscuits in a few bites, then opened the bread, broke it in two, gave one half to Zhang Qiling, and started eating with a blank look in his eyes.

After eating the two things and feeling full, Qin Yuchen didn't plan to eat anything else.

He took off his windproof glasses, raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, then propped up his thigh with his right hand and rested his chin on it, and turned his head to watch Zhang Qiling eat.

To be honest, there was almost no time for them to have a conversation with each other.

Most of the time they just stared at each other in a daze, or just stared at each other in a daze.

If they could have some conversation, it would either be him talking nonsense and Zhang Qiling listening, or there would be information that needed to be exchanged between them.

It's quite novel to be with Zhang Qiling.

This was an idea that Qin Yuchen had had a long time ago.

I don’t know why, but I remembered it again now.

However, Qin Yuchen didn't expect to get the answer to this idea.

What's more, there is no answer to this idea itself.

Moreover, people who are used to analyzing the pros and cons let their hearts run wild for the first time, resulting in an extremely pleasing story.
