Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Wu Xie walked into the restaurant, "Brother!" he shouted, and walked towards Zhang Qiling with a smile.

"Why are you eating out alone? Where's Han Yan? Didn't she cook for you?"

Zhang Qiling shifted his gaze from the West Lake outside the window, and while answering Wu Xie, he looked at the waiter who was carrying a few take-away boxes.

"She's waiting for me at home."

The waiter smiled and placed the packed food in front of Zhang Qiling. "Your food has been packed. Do you need anything else?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, take care, and welcome back next time."

Zhang Qiling picked up the packed food, stood up and was about to walk out.

Wu Xie watched him walk away, and in just a moment, he disappeared from his sight.

"Why are you walking so fast? Hanyan won't run away at home."

He muttered to himself, then remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, and picked up the menu beside him to look at it.

When Zhang Qiling got home, the food in the takeaway box was still steaming hot and not cold at all.

"Yan Yan, eat."

"coming."

Zhang Hanyan put down the remote control, lifted the blanket covering her body, walked straight to Zhang Qiling, and helped him take the food out of the bag one by one.

"They are all the ones I like to eat. Why didn't you buy the ones you like?"

She opened the lids of the take-out boxes one by one. There were four dishes and two boxes of lunch, all of which were her favorite spicy flavors.

"Too much, I can't finish it."

Zhang Qiling pulled her to sit down and handed her the chopsticks in his hand.

"Eat quickly, it will get cold soon."

"Oh, then I'll make you your favorite poached chicken tomorrow, and make dumplings with a few more fillings, okay?"

Zhang Hanyan picked up some shredded pork for him with her chopsticks and smiled sweetly at him.

"No, it's too cold to cook."

He glanced at her hand casually, just once, and then looked away, as if nothing had happened.

"That......"

"Eat, then rest."

Zhang Qiling interrupted her, looked into her eyes seriously, and urged her in a harsh tone.

"OK then......"

Zhang Hanyan said nothing more and just ate quietly. After the meal, the takeaway box was thrown into the trash can. After cleaning up and washing up, the two of them went upstairs together.

She pushed the door open and walked into her room, and he followed her in.

She was lying on the bed, and just reached out for the cell phone next to the pillow, but before she could open it, he snatched it away.

Zhang Qiling tucked her in and said, "Close your eyes and go to sleep."

His voice was soft, and there was helpless indulgence in his tone.

Zhang Hanyan stared at him with pleading eyes, looking pitiful, like a kitten begging for a touch.

As soon as he saw her watery eyes, his heart, which had been steadfast just a moment ago, suddenly became a little turbulent, and he struggled in his heart about whether he should return the phone to her.

Finally, he sighed softly, showing helplessness, and handed the phone to her.

"... can only play for a while, half an hour."

"Ok."

She suddenly turned over and sat up, moved inside, and patted the empty seat next to her.

"Come up too and cover your feet with the quilt. It's very cold sitting by the bed."

Zhang Qiling sat beside her as he said and covered himself with the same quilt as her. She leaned against him, her slender fingers constantly pressing the buttons on the phone.

He looked at the game interface on the screen, then carefully put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

When the phone showed low battery, Zhang Hanyan yawned for the first time.

"Brother, I'm sleepy..."

She threw away her phone, wrapped her arms around his waist, and closed her eyes to relieve the soreness in her eyes.

Zhang Qiling gently took her hand away, held her shoulders, let her lie down, and said, "Go to sleep." Then he tucked the corners of the quilt for her.

Just as he was about to get up from the bed, she grabbed his arm.

He looked at her puzzledly, "What's wrong? Do you want some water?"

Zhang Hanyan shook her head and pointed to the empty seat next to her.

"Would you please sleep with me? You're so warm and I'm so cold sleeping alone."

A trace of heartache flashed across Zhang Qiling's eyes. He lay down beside her again, stretched out his arm for her to rest her head on, and held her tightly in his arms.

"Go to sleep, Yanyan, it won't be cold tonight."

"Ah."

A warm environment always makes people drowsy, and when sleepiness came over her, she fell asleep in his arms.

Zhang Qiling used his body temperature to warm her cold hands and feet, hugged her, and fell into a beautiful dream with her.

More than half a month has passed, and the Chinese New Year is getting closer. It started snowing in Hangzhou, and the white snowflakes fell on the blooming red plums.

Zhang Hanyan stood alone beside the red plum tree, tiptoeing slightly and sniffing the cool fragrance emanating from the red plums.

She took a pair of scissors in her hand, picked out a few of the most beautiful red plum blossoms, and cut them off, planning to take them into the house and put them in a vase later.

"Yanyan."

Zhang Qiling stared at Zhang Hanyan who was standing next to the red plum tree. She was wearing a red dress and had a sweet smile on her face.

The scene before them was just like the day they first met.

Back then, a lovely girl stood under a blossoming red plum tree, looking at him with a smile. The rising sun shone on her, forming a dazzling golden halo.

Now, snow covers the ground, and she stands smiling beside a blossoming red plum tree, wearing a red dress, the hem of which flutters in the wind, stained by the falling snowflakes.

Zhang Qiling stood there in a daze, his mind went blank. The scene before him made him feel as if he had returned to a time long, long ago.

"Brother? Is there anyone selling lanterns or something like that outside?"

Zhang Hanyan's smiling voice rang out, instantly bringing his drifting thoughts back to reality.

"Yes, wait until the snow stops before buying it. It's still early."

He strode towards her, gently brushed away the snowflakes that had fallen on her hair, and pulled her into the house.

"Don't go outside when it's snowing. It's very cold."

"I know. I just think the plum blossoms are so beautiful and I want to cut a few branches and put them in the vase."

Zhang Qiling took the plum blossom and scissors from her hand, walked to the side, took out a white porcelain vase from the cabinet and put the plum blossom in it.

"Next time, wait until I come back."

He put the scissors away, walked over to her, and held her hand in his palm.

"it is good."

She fell into his arms, and they sat on the sofa together, watching boring TV series to pass the time.

The days are very short in winter, and it’s dark before you even do anything.

The fluttering snowflakes fell all night long and finally stopped in the early morning.

The first sun of winter quietly jumped out of the thick clouds, shining with warm light.

"Brother, the sun is out, let's go out and buy New Year's goods!"

Zhang Hanyan stood in the corridor, looking up with a smile on her face, at the warm sun in the sky.

Zhang Qiling washed the dishes and walked out of the kitchen. He wiped the water stains on his hands and habitually held her hand in his.

"Okay, wait for me."

As he spoke he walked into the house, picked up his scarf and coat hanging on the coat rack and came out.

He gently put the coat on her and then tied the scarf around her neck. He adjusted it carefully to make sure she would not be blown by the cold wind.

The snow-white cashmere scarf was wrapped tightly around her neck. Under the warm sun, her skin looked white and rosy. Her long, shiny black hair was draped behind her, making her look like a delicate and innocent beauty.
