C198 Empty Heart
Vince saw Yin Lan's tireless questioning and pulled her up the stone stairs. "If you believe me, then follow me. If you don't believe me, then go back."
Yin Lan felt that Vince had something to say but he had made up his mind not to say it. She could not let him stay here alone and could only follow him, "Why do you want to camp?"
"I do camp once a year. This year is the right time."
"Oh." Yin Lan replied and did not say anything else. When climbing the stairs, it was easy to talk in a different way.
Vince pulled her forward because he wanted to bring Yin Lan along. His body could still bear the previous flat road, but once he climbed the stairs, he felt that he could not take it anymore.
Yin Lan followed behind him and listened to his breathing getting heavier and heavier. Seeing that there was still a long road ahead, she pulled him back, "Let's take a rest."
Vince nodded. Now was not the time to show off, he just sat on the rock.
Yin Lan's physical strength was better than his. It was not as hard as his. Seeing his face turn slightly pale, she looked at him worriedly, "If we are too tired, let's take a rest. Don't try to be brave."
Vince's eyes stared at her through the sunglasses and then nodded. "Have you specially exposed yourself before?"
Yin Lan shook her head, "I slept outside but I have not specially camping." As she spoke, she stared at the big bag on his back and continued, "Are you carrying a tent?"
"Yes." Vince nodded.
"My bag is lighter. Why don't we exchange it? This way, you can relax." Climbing like this was already considered a strenuous exercise. It would increase the burden on his heart. She was worried that Vince would not be able to take it.
"No need." Vince rejected without thinking.
"But..." Yin Lan was worried.
"I'm fine." Vince answered stubbornly. He then stood up. "You're almost done resting. Let's continue."
Yin Lan saw that Vince had just sat down and was about to walk away to stop him, but Wen Si had already stood up and pulled her forward. She did not react in time. Her feet slipped and she stumbled to the side. Fortunately, Vince felt that the strength in his palm was not right. He stood still and supported her. Otherwise, she would have hit the rock.
"Can you concentrate on walking?" Two emotions of worry and annoyance surged into his heart, making his tone not so pleasant to the ear.
Yin Lan was also angered by his words, but when she thought about how each time the two of them quarreled, they ended up killing each other, she held back.
The two of them were as silent as two strangers walking in the forest where no one was close to each other.
That flight of stairs was very long. They only finished walking after resting for a few times. After they finished walking, Yin Lan could clearly feel Vince's face turning paler. She did not understand why Vince insisted on going out to camp. After climbing the stone stairs, The two of them walked down the slope, and the path behind them was very smooth. Walking past a wooden bridge, they saw a small waterfall with the sound of flowing water. The water was soft and full of greenery. Everything was so full of life. Only then did the haze in Yin Lan's heart disappear. Her heart suddenly relaxed. It was as if the weight that had been accumulated in her heart was suddenly taken away by an invisible force. She felt very relaxed.
After jumping out of a small forest with a small tree trunk and extremely dense leaves, there was a low-lying lawn outside. A cool breeze passed by, and green waves rose and fell, stretching like the sea. A small church stood peacefully and amiably on the lawn. It had the aura of a saint that was isolated from the rest of the world.
After organizing herself, Yin Lan's mood was now very relaxed, so she naturally became happy. She pointed at the small church and said, "Vince, let's go over there and take a look."
Vince lightly breathed. When he heard Yin Lan's loud voice, he nodded and pulled her down.
Yin Lan's figure was much smaller than Vince's. He took a big step forward. She straightened her legs but could not reach the same rhythm. After a few times, the beautiful scene of them leaving together was broken. This time, she was not as lucky as before. Her legs went soft and her entire body automatically turned into a smooth arc. She rolled down.
Vince's palm was filled with the other hand, and he was running as comfortably as the wind. Suddenly, he tripped and stumbled a few steps before he stood still. Then, he was shocked to see Yin Lan rolling down the slope along with her.
"Yin Lan!" After he stood still, he rushed down without a care.
When Yin Lan was halfway to the roll, she was stuck. She laid on the ground like a big word.
When Vince approached her worriedly, he happened to see her spit out a pile of grass and mud with a face full of resentment. His initial worry immediately turned into a smile. He slowed down his hurried steps and slowly walked in front of her. He reached out and took the grass from her hair. "Are you hurt?"
Yin Lan was still wiping the dirt from her mouth. She stared at Vince angrily and said in a weird tone. Look at how much I respect your God! I'm rolling on the ground and prostrating myself in front of you!"
Vince looked at Yin Lan who had another face in front of him and curled his lips into a smile. "Yes," Yin Lan said. "You can tell him what you want later," Vince said. "He will do whatever he wants."
Yin Lan was stunned for a moment and then stared at him, "Don't tell me that you just brought me here to worship God!"
Vince looked at Yin Lan who was staring at him. He stopped smiling and reached out to wipe the dirt off her face. Behind the sunglasses, there was a touch of emotion in his eyes, "Yin Lan, Which one is you?"
Yin Lan patted her own face and got up, "Every one of them is me."
"Let's go." Vince saw that she could get up on her own and was so neat. He knew that she was not hurt. He reached out to grab her, but she dodged him.
"Let's see who gets there first!" Yin Lan looked at her askew and regained some of her former ruffian air. She looked at Vince provocatively.
Her eyes reminded Vince of the first time they met. She was so arrogant and confident. After meeting her, her eyes were always filled with sadness. It had been a long time since he saw her like this.
"Okay." He knew that it was impossible for him to win, but he still agreed.
"Then I'll run first!" Yin Lan took advantage of her stamina and ran away.
"Okay." Vince made a running posture. When he saw Yin Lan running, he took back his posture. He raised his hand and pressed on his chest, which had been in pain all this time. Then he let out a breath and put his hand down. He calmly walked down.
Yin Lan ran towards the wind. Her eyebrows were flying, and her body was as light as a swallow. She was very happy. Ever since Nanxing went to Syria and came to America from Syria, she had never been so free and at ease. There were schemes everywhere and dangers everywhere. The injuries that could not be avoided turned into thorns that pierced through her completely, almost making her walk into a dead end.
After knowing that she was poisoned by an unknown poison, her heart, which had already entered a dead end, became even more desperate and wanted to die. Even her will to live was wiped out.
However, she didn't know that she actually had such a happy time.
He ran to the entrance of the chapel. She looked back at Vince, who was still on the road. He was dressed in a purple coat and looked very fashionable. With his fair skin, tall features, and slender body, he looked very handsome. He walked calmly like a prince of nobility. It was as if time gave way to him, as if he was a god.
If it wasn't for his mental illness, he wouldn't have been given up. He wouldn't have lived so badly, or even be humiliated.
How dazzling would that be?
As she thought about it, her heart was filled with pity and injustice for Vince. Then, she turned around and ran towards him.
Vince originally thought that Yin Lan would rush in, because this was a common problem for people like them. When victory was in sight, they would rush in one go. But he did not expect Yin Lan to turn back. It was such a simple action. He understood why she walked so hard on this road.
"Why did you come back?" Seeing her panting like a child, his voice unconsciously softened.
"Let's go together." Yin Lan did not notice Vince's gentleness. She only ran over when she saw him walking alone in the vast world.
Vince's eyes paused. Some hidden emotions broke out from the ground and formed a warm halo in his eyes.
"Okay."
On the high roof, colorful glass pieces were pieced together into a wall of flowers. The statue of Jesus stood steadily above the wall of flowers. He looked at everyone who came to pray with a compassionate and forgiving gaze, listening to all their suffering.
Yin Lan knelt on the cushion and placed her hands on the table, but she did not know what to pray for. She opened her eyes and saw Vince beside her. She took off her sunglasses and folded her hands between her brows as she prayed sincerely.
She thought about it and closed her eyes to make a wish.
When she opened her eyes again, Vince's purple eyes were shockingly pleasing to her eyes. The pure and clear color had a nobility and uniqueness that other colors could not rival. It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking just by looking at it once.
"Let's go."
The two of them walked out of the small church together. For some reason, Yin Lan felt different after looking at this clean heaven and earth again. It was a kind of empty heart that was suddenly opened up. It was a kind of lightness that washed one's heart.
The obsession that she had been unwilling to let go before was no longer important here. Without the burden in her heart, it became more relaxed.
"Are we not going to stay in the chapel tonight?" Yin Lan could not help but ask when she saw Vince walk out of the door and continue to walk out.
"I will take you to a more beautiful place." Vince lowered his head and smiled gently at her. His purple eyes were filled with warm ripples.
Walking along the back of the small church was a row of stairs that extended downwards. There were wooden handrails on both sides of the stairs. It was easy to walk down the slope.0
The trees on both sides were very thin, and the leaves on the branches were not as dense as before. However, it was not the new green from before. Instead, it was a golden and bright red intertwined. It was as if the sun and the red burning clouds were floating together. It was extremely beautiful.
Yin Lan followed Vince down. The lower they went, the lower the branches became. When they reached the bottom, they could only squat and walk forward. After walking for a while, they felt their way out with their messy hair and leaves on their heads.
After they went out, they saw a very strange lake. The surface of the lake was like a mirror. The three sides of the lake were surrounded by mountains. Half of the sky was blue and the other half was green. In the middle, there was a small pure white middle line. It was as if two colors had collided with each other and created a splash. It was as beautiful as a fairyland, like a dream or a fantasy.
Yin Lan looked at the beautiful scenery that was blessed by the heavens and was shocked to the point that she was stunned.
Vince saw Yin Lan immersed in the beautiful scenery. Without bothering her, she took off her backpack, pulled out the tent, and began to set it up on her own.
