The reason why Zhen Xiaoyan didn't remind Ye Lang that he didn't need to queue was because she thought Ye Lang wanted to queue!
Of course, even if Ye Lang knew, he might still queue up, just as he said now, it's part of the fun...
"Fun? Ye Lang, your brain is definitely not normal. What kind of fun is this? We've been standing in the sun for over an hour! I'm going to turn into Alvin from the sun..." Zhen Xiaoyan, standing to the side, shaded her eyes with one hand as she looked at the sun in the sky. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into slits under the sun's stimulation.
"It's hard for you to become like Alvin! I don't know your physique yet. With just this little bit of sunlight, you won't get tanned! If you're afraid, just wear a hat to cover your face, so you won't be afraid of becoming like Alvin!!" Ye Lang took out a very cute hat and put it on Zhen Xiaoyan's head. It was a useless item in his bag that hadn't been taken away yet.
Fortunately, Alvin wasn't there at that moment. If she had, she would have been very hurt; she was being used as a negative example!
"What kind of hat is this? Hmm, it's quite pretty! I like it..." Zhen Xiaoyan took the hat off. She was initially wondering why Ye Lang hadn't told her before putting the hat on her, but her eyes lit up when she saw it!
You could tell from her eyes how cute the hat was. Since Zhen Xiaoyan only liked to eat and didn't care much about dressing up, she was naturally immune to these kinds of things.
And this hat seems to suit Zhen Xiaoyan very well; the overall design is of a little bird, round and chubby, very cute...
"Ye Lang ..." Zhen Xiaoyan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Ye Lang with a pleading expression.
Seeing Zhen Xiaoyan's expression, Ye Lang waved his hand and said, "This is for you. It was originally meant for you. It's about the same size as the little bird on your chest..."
"..." Zhen Xiaoyan fell silent, a blush rising to her face. She thought to herself, "How are they almost the same? They're clearly two different things. And how do you remember my birthmark..."
Zhen Xiaoyan didn't say anything, simply because she didn't want to argue with Ye Lang about this matter, at least not in public!
How could such a thing be said in public?
Luckily, no one around noticed, or I would have been so embarrassed!
However, none of this seemed to matter much to Zhen Xiaoyan. What she cared more about was that Ye Lang actually remembered her and prepared a gift for her. Although he forgot to give it to her, it at least proved that he had remembered her.
"You're kind enough to remember to give me a gift, so the meal I cooked for you wasn't in vain!" Zhen Xiaoyan said sweetly, putting on her hat and striking a pose in front of Ye Lang.
"Of course! I'm a good person with a conscience!!" Ye Lang said, quite pleased.
"... Then tell me, how did you come up with the idea for me?" Zhen Xiaoyan asked casually, but she quickly regretted asking the question. She was already regretting it before Ye Lang even said it, because she believed that Ye Lang's answer would hurt her deeply!
"Back then, I spent money carelessly and bought this, and then I thought of you!" Ye Lang said with a bright smile.
Most people buy things by thinking about who to buy first, but Ye Lang is completely different. He buys a lot of things first, and only when it's possible will he think about giving them as gifts to others.
"I knew it would be like this..." Zhen Xiaoyan muttered to herself, and then stopped talking, because it wouldn't make any difference.
At least, this proves that he still remembers me a little bit...
The two continued to queue, slowly moving forward with the crowd. The crowd was incredibly large, and Ye Lang waited for two hours before finally reaching the front.
Behind Ye Lang, the line was even more terrifying; it would probably take four or five hours to get in!
This made Zhen Xiaoyan feel fortunate that she had arrived relatively early; if she had arrived later, she would have had more time...
This was in the early days of the Holy City's opening. The influx of so many people caused this situation, which was something the Holy City had not anticipated. They had not expected that the pilgrims' enthusiasm for the pilgrimage would be so high.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The Holy City was last opened hundreds of years ago, so this opportunity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event, and naturally many people would want to join in the fun.
Just as Ye Lang was about to arrive, but was still a few dozen meters away, a group of arrogant-looking young men and women walked up to Ye Lang, glanced at Ye Lang and Zhen Xiaoyan, and then raised their heads with disdain.
At this time, Ye Lang's clothes were relatively casual, unlike before when he wore fine clothes. All his clothes had been given to those who were suffering, and the clothes he was wearing now were made by others later.
Although these materials are of good quality, they are still far inferior to what Ye Lang wore before. Simply put, they are quite ordinary, or even poor, for nobles and the wealthy.
Ye Lang has been busy with things lately, and he doesn't really care much about his clothes. He used to wear those high-end clothes because he wanted to spend money, not because he wanted the best.
That's why he was looked down upon, while Zhen Xiaoyan was just an ordinary noblewoman, and the gap between her and the young men and women from before was quite obvious.
Therefore, they received contempt from these high-ranking noblemen, both men and women!
However, there seem to be many people in this area who are inferior to Ye Lang. I don't know if these men and women disdain those who are too weak, or if Ye Lang is too handsome and attracts jealousy, which is why he was chosen!
Of course, the reason given later was something Ye Lang came up with himself!
Anyway, for some unknown reason, Ye Lang was lucky enough to win the lottery. These men and women cut in front of Ye Lang's line, and it was quite obvious that they wanted to use their noble status to gain some privileges.
"Snort!"
One of the women even looked at Zhen Xiaoyan with disdain, comparing herself to her, but she dared not compare herself to Xiao Rui, who came after Zhen Xiaoyan, because that would make her feel inferior.
However, the more she compared herself to Zhen Xiaoyan, the more she realized that she also felt inferior!
Although Zhen Xiaoyan's clothes are made of relatively ordinary materials, her style has a unique charm that is distinctive to her and reflects her feminine temperament. It is a style that grows more pleasing to the eye the more you look at it.
Although she wasn't the glamorous and luxurious type, she was pretty and charming, which was captivating!
