People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Time passed quietly, night fell quietly, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in the quiet night.

The moonlight was like water, shining through the carved window lattices and sprinkling on the floor of the house, as if it was covered with a layer of silver gauze.

Outside the window, the breeze blows gently, the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard make rustling whispers, and occasionally the sound of insects can be heard, adding a bit of tranquility to the night.

With a creaking sound, the carved wooden door of the alchemy room in the courtyard made a slightly crisp creaking sound.

Following the sound, the door of the alchemy room was slowly pushed open from the inside out, and a tall man walked out slowly.

The moonlight fell on him, reflecting his angular face. It was Xiao Ling who had spent the entire afternoon studying alchemy.

He just raised his eyes slightly, and his gaze swept across the quiet courtyard, as if he was recalling every detail of the medicine-making process, and seemed to be appreciating the unique scenery of the manor under the night sky.

"Is it so late? Everyone else should have gone to rest, right?" Xiao Ling murmured softly, his eyes slowly sweeping around the quiet courtyard, then slowly retracting their gaze.

He raised his arms and stretched lazily. His mind, which had been highly focused throughout the afternoon, gradually relaxed as he stretched his body.

After being busy for a whole afternoon, Xiao Ling still looked in very good overall condition.

However, after concentrating on it for an entire afternoon, even he couldn't help feeling a little tired.

It is also because of this that even though his current strength is no longer what it used to be and his physical condition has undergone tremendous changes compared to before, he doesn't even need to rely on sleep to put his body into a state of rest. However, due to the habit of regular work and rest developed in his previous life, Xiao Ling is still willing to take a nap from time to time as long as he has the chance to do so and completely relax.

Humming a few cheerful tunes, Xiao Ling walked at a leisurely pace, appreciating the beautiful scenery in the courtyard with interest, his eyes lingering on the flowers, plants, pond, and moonlight, while walking slowly towards his room.

The figure blended into the courtyard under the night sky, creating a unique scene.

When Xiao Ling walked around the corner of a corridor, the view in front of him suddenly became wider.

His mind moved slightly, and almost subconsciously, Xiao Ling's gaze involuntarily turned to the pond not far away in the courtyard.

Within sight, there was a graceful and beautiful figure sitting on the pavilion beside the pond.

Look at the girl's appearance, she is at the prime age of seventeen or eighteen. Her green and tender appearance is just like a flower bud that has just emerged in spring, with a sense of ignorance and shyness, which makes people feel pity for her at first sight.

She was wearing a white dress, the hem of which seemed to be woven from the softest clouds, swaying gently in the breeze, and every flutter was like a soothing dance on the stage of the night.

The moonlight fell like broken silver, pouring onto her, outlining a dreamy halo for her. The halo spread along her hair, shoulders, and to the hem of her skirt, making her whole body seem to radiate a soft light, shining in the night.

Her fair face was as delicate as the finest jade, her eyebrows were as dark as distant black, and when she frowned slightly she seemed to be hiding some of the girl's thoughts.

Her eyes were like a clear spring, crystal clear and bright, exuding a breath of tranquility and peace, as if they could wash away all the troubles in this world.

Under the small nose bridge, the pink lips are slightly pursed, with a bit of shyness, as if silently telling her own little secret.

The girl just sat there quietly, blending in with the moonlight, pond, flowers and plants in the courtyard, forming a tranquil picture so beautiful that people could not look away, exuding a unique charm that made people want to get closer but afraid to disturb her.

"Tsk tsk, this girl Danchen is usually pretty and charming. Now under the moonlight, she looks more and more pleasing to the eye. She has a unique charm..."

Such a beautiful scene in front of them was truly amazing. Even Xiao Ling, who had seen many grand scenes, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he first saw it.

The graceful young girl, wearing a white dress, sitting quietly in the pavilion, looks even more quiet and elegant, and at this moment it happens to be the dreamlike and beautiful night scene, with moonlight pouring down, light and shadows interweaving, and the rare quiet atmosphere lingering all around, the three elements blend together to form such a wonderful and rare stunning scene.

As if Dan Chen had keenly sensed Xiao Ling's undisguised gaze, and had been immersed in his own world of fantasy, he almost subconsciously cast his gaze in this direction.

When Dan Chen saw clearly that the person coming was Xiao Ling, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if a deer was fluttering in his heart.

However, she still relied on the rationality in her heart and forced herself to remain calm, trying to appear calm.

Then she waved gently towards Xiao Ling, and tried to raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile like the first blooming of spring flowers. However, her slightly flushed cheeks inadvertently revealed a little panic in her heart at the moment.

A tender and soft voice of "Brother Xiao Ling" came out gently from that cherry-like delicate little mouth. Although the sound was not loud, it was as clear and pleasant as the sound of a clear mountain stream hitting pebbles.

Blown by the cool evening breeze, the voice seemed to carry a hint of tenderness, drifting slowly into Xiao Ling's ears, making people feel happy.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling's face also showed a gentle smile, as a greeting. Then, he took a step slowly and walked towards the direction where Dan Chen was.

On Dan Chen's side, seeing Xiao Ling's figure gradually approaching him, he felt like there was a little rabbit in his heart and became more and more flustered.

She quickly sat up straight, her originally tranquil face now tinged with a hint of nervousness, her small hands unconsciously tugged at the hem of her skirt, her eyes fixed firmly on Xiao Ling, as if she was expecting something, yet also a little shy and not knowing what to do.

"Sister Chen'er, how do you feel about admiring the night view here alone? Although the scenery in my courtyard is not unparalleled in beauty, it is still acceptable, right?"

When he came to a place not far in front of Dan Chen, Xiao Ling stopped. He saw Dan Chen trying to be calm, but actually very shy inside, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle and somewhat playful smile.

He immediately took the initiative to speak, breaking the slightly awkward silence. His voice seemed particularly clear and friendly in the quiet night.

"Brother Xiao Ling, you're joking. If the stunning scenery here isn't considered beautiful, then there aren't many places in the world that can be called beautiful."

Seeing Xiao Ling took the initiative to speak and break the silence, Dan Chen's originally nervous expression relaxed a little. She lowered her eyes slightly, then quickly raised them to look at Xiao Ling, with a perfect smile on her face, and whispered along with Xiao Ling's words. Her voice was soft, sweet, and drifted away in the gentle evening breeze.

After a short pause, Dan Chen seemed to be caught up in some beautiful vision. He lowered his head slightly involuntarily. There seemed to be a gleam in his pair of autumn eyes. He murmured to himself in a low voice: "If...if, I could live with Big Brother Xiao Ling forever in the future, that would be great..."

"Oh? Sister Chen'er, do you want to live here?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and his tone was full of teasing, "If you like, you can live here anytime..."

Dan Chen's voice was very low when she muttered to herself, and she suppressed it deliberately. But Xiao Ling's perception was very sharp. Besides, the distance between them was not far, so Xiao Ling could hear Dan Chen's words clearly, which were as soft as a mosquito.

"Uh huh... No, no..." Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Dan Chen's pretty face suddenly turned red, and her heart seemed to be suddenly pulled by an invisible hand. She had no idea that the little thoughts in her heart had been exposed.

The face that was originally smiling was instantly stained with embarrassment and panic. A trace of helplessness flashed in the clear eyes. She bit her pink lower lip subconsciously, and her hands unconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt. She was like a frightened deer, wanting to find a place to hide, but didn't know what to do. She could only stand there awkwardly, not daring to look Xiao Ling in the eye.

"Haha, I'm not kidding. As long as you have this idea, you can live here as long as you want..." Xiao Ling chuckled, looking at the girl in front of him who was as shy as a peach blossom in spring, he felt that she was interesting and cute.

Xiao Ling had rarely met such a pure and shy girl.

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Ling realized that if he continued teasing the little girl, she might faint from shyness, which would not be appropriate.

So, Xiao Ling smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed Dan Chen's forehead. The action was full of pampering and tenderness.

Then, he changed the subject, with an expectant look on his face, and said, "It's a nice night tonight, why don't you come and walk around with me, sister Chen'er..."

Faced with Xiao Ling's sincere invitation, the little shyness in Dan Chen's heart was soon replaced by a hint of excitement. She naturally had no intention of refusing, and she nodded gently, slightly opened her lips, and whispered "hmm", indicating that she agreed to Xiao Ling's proposal.

When Xiao Ling saw that Dan Chen agreed, the smile on his face deepened a little, and he did not delay any longer, and slowly withdrew his hand that had been gently stroking Dan Chen's forehead.

Then, his palm moved down gently, and with a kind of unintentional intimacy, he gently held Dan Chen's slender and smooth white jade hand.

The moment his fingers touched, it was as if an electric current spread from his fingertips throughout his body. Xiao Ling felt that the hand was as soft as the finest silk, delicate and cool, which made his heart tremble slightly. He subconsciously held the hand tighter, but was afraid of hurting her, so he controlled the strength in his hands just right.

As for Dan Chen, her pretty face instantly turned red and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Ling, but she did not show any intention of struggling to break free of her hand that was held, and just let Xiao Ling hold her hand like this. The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became charming and sweet.

……

The hazy moonlight hung down from the edge of the sky, quietly pouring into the courtyard, as if covering this world with a layer of dreamy silver gauze.

The bright moonlight shines through the gaps between the mottled leaves, casting fragments on the ground, like stars scattered on the earth.

Inside the courtyard, there were two figures, a man and a woman, walking hand in hand. Xiao Ling had an upright figure, an extraordinary temperament, and a gentle smile on his face.

Dan Chen snuggled up to him like a little bird, her white dress looking even more holy under the moonlight. Her cheeks were still stained with a blush, and her eyes were full of shyness and sweetness.

The two of them walked very slowly and lightly, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the night. Every step they took seemed to be stepping on the watery moonlight.

The breeze blew gently, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants, quietly lingering around the two of them, as if whispering for their journey together.

The pond nearby was sparkling with ripples, reflecting their figures. As the waves moved, the reflections also swayed, as if engraving this beautiful scene in the water and preserving it forever.

The moonlight, the courtyard, the beauty and the beloved together form a picture of extreme beauty. Once you take a look at it, you will be intoxicated by it and unable to look away.

However, good times are always as short as sand on your fingertips, slipping through your fingers inadvertently.

Although the area of ​​this courtyard is quite large, it is only a short walk away.

The two of them walked hand in hand along the way, enjoying the moonlight and the beautiful scenery. However, before they could fully enjoy this rare comfort, they had unknowingly arrived in front of Xiao Ling's room.

The exquisite and elegant carved door exudes a sense of tranquility under the moonlight, but it also announces that this period of strolling time is about to come to an end, which makes people feel a little reluctant.

Xiao Ling slowly reached out and pushed open the door. The door hinges turned with a slight sound, which was particularly clear in the silent night.

Then, he couldn't help but turn around again, his eyes fell on Dan Chen who was staring at him closely.

Dan Chen's clear eyes revealed a complex emotion of reluctance and shyness, and he just looked at him quietly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle, then waved to Dan Chen gently, and said softly: "Sister Dan Chen, I'm going to rest first. If there is a chance in the future, let's go to the night market in Shengdan City together next time..."

"Uh-huh..." Dan Chen responded softly, his voice was soft and a little obedient, and then he slowly lowered his head, as if agreeing to the words before parting.

However, where Xiao Ling could not see, the pair of jade hands behind her involuntarily clenched slightly.

The eyes that were covered by a few strands of hair on the forehead no longer had the shy and tender feeling they had in the past. Instead, there was a persistence that surged from the bottom of the heart...

Chapter 492: Girl's Feelings

When Xiao Ling saw Dan Chen like this, he felt something strange, but he didn't think about it anymore. He turned around and walked into the room.

Just when Xiao Ling was about to step into the room, he suddenly felt a pulling force on his sleeve. His body paused slightly and he turned his head involuntarily.

"Sister Chen'er, do you have anything else to tell me?" Xiao Ling was stunned at first, and then asked softly with a somewhat puzzled tone.

"Brother Xiao Ling, to be honest, I'm actually not used to sleeping outside..."

Dan Chen lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Xiao Ling's puzzled eyes. A blush unconsciously appeared on his face, and his voice became as thin as a mosquito, with a bit of hesitancy.

She bit her lip lightly, as if mustering up her courage, and then continued:

"I'm a person who has always been very sensitive to the environment. Whenever I go to a strange place, I always feel uneasy and a little scared. It usually takes me some time to slowly adapt..."

Dan Chen's slightly embarrassed look, coupled with his somewhat far-fetched-sounding words, really made people feel that his remarks were just an excuse put together at the last minute, revealing a hint of unnaturalness that was hard to describe.

As Xiao Ling listened to Dan Chen's narration, his eyebrows raised slightly involuntarily, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little strange.

There seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and some thoughts inexplicably emerged in his mind.

After Dan Chen explained briefly, she stopped beating around the bush and just raised her head slightly, looking at Xiao Ling with burning eyes. Her soft little hands slowly stretched out and tightly held Xiao Ling's hands.

She opened her red lips and spoke. Although her tone was still a little shy, her words were very clear.

"Brother Xiao Ling, can you... sleep with me tonight?" After she finished speaking, her cheeks instantly turned red, as if a shy heat was spreading on her face, but she stared at Xiao Ling stubbornly, waiting for his response.

Hearing such ambiguous words, Xiao Ling's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if a huge rock was thrown into the calm lake of his heart, causing ripples in an instant.

He couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise on his face, and his originally gentle and calm face became a little stiff at this moment. His lips opened slightly, but for a moment it seemed as if something was blocking his throat, and he didn't know what to say.

The whole person just stood there in a daze, his expression involuntarily becoming a little dazed, as if he was in a situation of helplessness.

When Dan Chen saw that Xiao Ling did not respond for a long time, his heart sank, and he thought that Xiao Ling was going to reject him.

Those eyes that were originally full of expectation dimmed unknowingly, like stars that had lost their luster.

Her silky hair fell gently like a layer of gauze, slowly covering her beautiful eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in them.

The tip of her delicate little nose felt slightly sore, and for a moment, she inexplicably had the urge to cry.

Xiao Ling's perception was so sharp that he noticed the subtle changes in Dan Chen's emotions at once.

His face changed immediately and he quickly reached out and held Danchen's hand, which was about to be pulled away, with a bit of urgency in his movements.
