The coquettish woman had pressed Robin too hard that even Yuer thought she had gone too far.
She gently tugged at Robin’s clothes and whispered, “Don’t bully her like that. She knows she’s wrong.”
Robin looked at Yuer and said, “You’re such a naive girl. Did you forget how this woman was trying to do to you?”
But for Yuer’s sake, Robin said to Messy, “See, she’s so nice. And I bet you’re not going to thank her. Get away now.”
As Robin finished, Messy turned away, sobbing.
The intermezzo made the salesgirl look at Robin with new eyes, and she even smiled at him when he paid the bill.
She recommended other clothes to Robin, as if to suggest Robin to buy all the clothes in the store.
Even though he had money, Robin didn’t really mean to buy all the clothes.
He didn’t buy all the clothes even under the salesgirl’s resentful look.
But Yuer felt like Robin had changed a lot. She felt that Robin was completely different from the lazy guy she thought.
But she couldn’t figure it out why he would become like this and she kept silent all the way back.
Robin didn’t know why Yuer was so silent. He thought she was shocked by what happened.
Back at the hotel, Yuer went back to her room, and Robin didn’t say anything.
And they spent the night in silence.
Robin wanted to continue his journey as he didn’t want Sienna to wait for him so long so that she would give him a hard time.
He knocked on Yuer’s door to wake her up. She seemed to be in a good mood today. When she saw Robin, she was smiling.
Carrying a small suitcase and a bag, she seemed eager to start their journey.
Robin didn’t say anything, nor did he try to carry the bag for her. He just walked ahead alone, not seeing Yuer’s resentful face.
“Hum! He’s still a bad guy,” whispered Yuer.
But Robin heard it.
When they got on the car, everything was ready. But Robin felt something was lost when Sienna was here, although she didn’t say much and always kept silent.
Robin didn’t think much and started the car.
Yuer seemed to have completely forgotten the sadness of running away from home, and was always surprised at the scenery on both sides of the road.
Robin found that Yuer was such a noisy person, and he even thought about leaving her alone at the roadside.
But of course, he didn’t do so.
“What’s that?” shouted Yuer suddenly, pointing at the campfire by the wayside.
Robin was taken aback by her shout, and then looked in the direction of the campfire, which was surrounded by people who seemed to be celebrating something.
Robin shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I’m not interested.”
He did not want to let Yuer go there, but Yuer was curious about it. She said in a coquettish tone, “Let’s go and have a look, OK? It won’t take long.”
Robin refused. “No. We’re on the journey.”
But Yuer suddenly leaned on Robin’s shoulder. She massaged Robin’s shoulder for a while and then said, “Let’s go and have a look. We’ll go back on our journey soon.”
Robin felt the tenderness of her bare hands, which were so smooth, and he hesitated.
But he felt embarrassed to agree, so he reluctantly said, “Fine, just a moment.”
Yuer exclaimed excitedly upon hearing so.
Then Robin drove off in that direction.
There were a lot of cars there, and many of them were very luxurious and expensive.
Robin found a space to park the car. Yuer couldn’t wait to get out of the car and Robin followed her.
The campfire was in the middle of a clearing, surrounded by bare rock and scattered vegetation that barely grew.
And there were around a hundred men and women dancing around the fire, and there were some more people outside watching them.
When Robin and Yuer got there, no one noticed them. It seemed that they were used to people coming and going.
Yuer edged her way through the crowd and looked inside, admiring the cheerful dancing.
Robin asked a thin man, “Is there something going on here?”
The man took a look at Robin and replied, “We are praying. We are dancing a praying dance.”
“Pray for what?”
“Most of it will be for love, but a few are for other things.”
Robin thanked him and went to look for Yuer, but in the blink of an eye, she was gone.
After looking for quite a while, he found that she had already in the front.
She watched it all with a smile, as if she wanted to join in.
Robin walked over to her and said, “You’ve seen it now. Let’s go back.”
But Yuer pouted and said to Robin, “Stay a little longer.”
Robin couldn’t refuse her, and could only agree.
Yuer was happy again.
“Did you see how beautifully they dance?” she said, leaning over to Robin. “Their shadows are reflected in the campfire. It’s so wonderful.”
Robin thought it beautiful too, but he was not that obsessed as Yuer.
After a while, Yuer was unable to resist her impulse. She took Robin’s arm and said, “Let’s join them and dance together. It’ll be fun.”
She seemed to think of it as a funny thing and had no idea what they were doing, namely, they were praying for love.
Robin was about to explain to her when Yuer ran toward the middle of the field.
So Robin didn’t say anything.
The men and women who were dancing, made way for them when they saw Robin and Yuer coming. They seemed to be willing to share their joy with others.
Robin began to dance to the rhythm of the revelry, and Yuer seemed to be very good at dancing. She knew how to dance although she just watched it once.
