But Yang Qingyin soon followed up with a message that instantly dispelled his gloom.
"What's my reward for being your tour guide?" followed by several tongue-sticking-out emojis.
"I'll treat you to dinner!" Luo Ziling's mood instantly lifted as he replied to her message in a second.
"Just a dinner, aren't you being a bit stingy!"
"How about adding a midnight snack?"
Without waiting for Yang Qingyin to reply, Luo Ziling quickly sent another message, "Or you name it. If the senior commands, the junior would brave any danger!"
After a string of face-with-hand-over-mouth emojis, Yang Qingyin sent another message: "Alright then, meet outside the East Gate of the Summer Palace in half an hour."
Luo Ziling finished his meal at top speed, paid the bill, and immediately ran towards the Summer Palace.
The Summer Palace was just across Tsinghua West Road from Yan University. After exiting the university's west gate, the East Gate of Summer Palace was right there.
