Since tomorrow is cloudy, we should definitely go outdoors, but if it rains midway, though most plans can still proceed, the experience might be slightly less enjoyable.

Plus, some plans would need to be changed or adjusted.

Or should we just go with a rainy plan?

But it would be a bit of a pity.

The girl's thoughts were practically written on her face. Lin Li reached out to smooth her forehead, took back his phone, and lowered his voice: "Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom to make a call."

"Hmm? Why? Who are you calling?" Watching Lin Li actually walk towards the bathroom, Chen Yu Ying asked curiously.

"I know someone up there. I'm calling to check the weather arrangements for tomorrow—the accurate kind. Wait for my confirmed news." Lin Li turned back while walking, lightly waved two fingers at his temple, speaking mysteriously.

Although still a bit confused, Chen Yu Ying nodded and watched Lin Li jog away.

As for who this person up there is, Chen Yu Ying would absolutely not ask.

Because she always felt that Lin Li would say it's his dad.

——In front of Lin Li, Chen Yu Ying ultimately gathered some心得 for self-protection.

After just a few minutes, Lin Li jogged back.

Facing Chen Yu Ying's expectant gaze, Lin Li smiled and said:

"I've confirmed with Sister Yang Yang, tomorrow Nansang will indeed be completely cloudy and won't rain. As long as we're in the county, we don't need to prepare any umbrellas or raincoats."

Lin Li had naturally used Spiritual Qi in the bathroom to repair the Celestial Secret Mirror and used it to confirm.

Moreover, Lin Li didn't know if the Celestial Secret Mirror became more useful as his skill level and refinement degree increased. Although it showed the weather, this time it actually actively informed him of Nansang County's weather.

"For outside of the county, you need to tell me which county it is, then I'll confirm with Sister Yang Yang again." Lin Li added.

Facing Lin Li's gentle smile, Chen Yu Ying blinked, then smiled brightly and nodded: "Okay."

Though she didn't know how powerful Sister Yang Yang is, since Lin Li says it won't rain tomorrow in Nansang, she believes that it won't rain tomorrow.

"There's nothing fun in Xiling; tomorrow we're not in Xiling but still in Nansang. So, if we're sure it won't rain all day, we'll leave at 8:30 in the morning."

Having confirmed the conditions, Chen Yu Ying immediately ceased to be troubled and gave the arrangement.

"8:30? That early?"

"Hehe, then you should be glad it's cloudy tomorrow, because if it were sunny, we would have to leave at four to watch the sunrise." Chen Yu Ying laughed.

"Seeing you earlier only makes me happier. Rather than glad it's cloudy tomorrow, I regret it's cloudy tomorrow." Lin Li jokingly said.

"You're just good with words," Chen Yu Ying playfully rolled her eyes at Lin Li and continued: "I'll come to find you downstairs at your place, then we can take a taxi together."

"You're coming to find me downstairs at my place?" Lin Li raised his eyebrows, then suggested a change:

"You'll need to do your hair and makeup tomorrow, right? You'll definitely be more rushed in the morning than me, so how about we meet downstairs at your place at 8:30?

This way, you'll surely have more time—I can stay a bit further, so your dad won't spot me."

"It's fine; I'll rest well tonight, so getting up early tomorrow isn't an issue." Chen Yu Ying shook her head and then smiled softly:

"Besides, Lin Li, if you come downstairs to my place, Uncle Zhuang will end up driving us all the way to the destination, but I'd prefer to take a car with a driver we don't know."

"You're right." Lin Li speedily agreed, "See you downstairs at my place tomorrow."

I really hadn't thought it through.

Although Uncle Zhuang—who is the driver for Chen Yu Ying's family—and Chen Yu Ying's mother know she is dating Lin Li, when both are present, Lin Li is fine, but Chen Yu Ying would definitely be shy.

This is like finding the perfect moment to send Ding Sihan, Qu Wanqiu, and a stray dog away, but then bringing in an 'extra person'.

There's no need, really no need.

"Okay." Chen Yu Ying's eyes curved, filled with anticipation for tomorrow.

They chatted idly for a while, and then it was time for revision.

The afternoon had a political exam, so the two didn't return to the classroom but instead took two chairs to the overhead corridor, sitting face to face; Lin Li studied, while Chen Yu Ying recited.

Frankly speaking, for most people, this kind of review method is less efficient than seriously revising on one's own.

But at this moment, both of them cherished it.

When you're a part of a young couple, what's efficiency? Can you eat it?

Just enjoy it.

...

There were no surprises in the afternoon exams, and when Lin Li, who handed in his paper early, left the classroom after the last exam, Xue Jian exhaled deeply and freely. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

To be honest, at that moment Xue Jian even felt somewhat youthful.

He couldn't remember the last time he experienced such a heartfelt relaxation after exams.

Since this week there was no need to gather back in class, Lin Li directly left school with his backpack.

As for tables and chairs, moving them on Sunday would be the same.

Lin Li didn't rush home. Instead, he rode his bike to the barbershop he visited last time.

Not for a wash and blow-dry—since if he washed and blew tonight, after sleeping it would be undone by morning—just because his hair had grown long and needed a trim.

Though tomorrow morning it wouldn't be a bad idea to wash and blow again, considering it's the 'first' date.

Thinking about this, the corners of Lin Li's mouth curved slightly.

Wishing time would pass quickly, eagerly looking forward to tomorrow.

This kind of pure anticipation was something Lin Li hadn't experienced in a long time.

Inside the barbershop.

There were no customers at the moment, and Lin Li's entrance immediately drew the attention of the shop owner and apprentice.

"I remember you, handsome guy!" The shop owner squinted in reminiscence for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he clapped his forehead, "Is it wash and blow again this time?"

"Tonight a haircut, tomorrow morning I'll probably come for a wash and blow, set to the highest level." Lin Li got straight to the point.

"Alright, handsome guy, follow me for a hair wash first." The shop owner enthusiastically invited.

During the hair wash, as the warm water flowed over his scalp, the shop owner casually chatted:

"So, handsome guy, you going out to play tomorrow?"

"Hmm," Lin Li replied with closed eyes, "Heading out to 'sell silver' tomorrow."

Shop owner: "[○･｀Д´･○]?!"

"Sell, sell what?"

His hands froze for a moment, and the shop owner stepped back.

For god's sake, don't let this lead to me getting caught.

"Boss, your thoughts are kind of odd, what's it called when going out in the spring?" Lin Li opened his eyes and, through the mirror, looked at the owner's uncertain face, calmly questioning.

"Spring outing?"

Lin Li: "Yeah, and in winter, it's called 'sell silver', doesn't that sound reasonable?"

The shop owner's thoughts were far too unhealthy.

He and Chen Yu Ying selling silver? Lin Li shivered at the thought.

Imagine Chen Yu Ying with a cigarette in her mouth at the entrance, taking cash from a customer, counting to ensure it's correct, and then pulling back the curtain to let them in, not forgetting to yell to the back curtain, "Lin Li, someone's here to see you."

Lin Li would respond, "On my way," then slink out, see the customer, and curse, "Wang Ze again, damn it!"

Isn't this scene creepy?

After hearing Lin Li's explanation, the shop owner fell silent.

So this is that kind of 'sell', that kind of 'silver'.

"Reasonable, reasonable."

He nodded sheepishly, continuing the work on hand, seemingly calm but unconsciously a bit more forceful—

Reasonable, my ass!!

You call going out in the winter 'sell silver'?

And in the autumn, would you call it 'clean oppression'?

Or in the summer, would you call it 'heat walking'?

Or in the spring, would you call it 'flower exploration'!!?
