Tang Yu was still puzzled by the sudden surge in the progress bar. In order to calm down his complicated thoughts, he decided to...

Start handling official business.

The county magistrate ran away so casually at the time, and his words "If you want to be a county magistrate, then you can be one" have now become a reality.

Yes, although Tang Yu has not been transferred from above, he has already begun to take over the relevant affairs of the county.

Tang Yu smiled on the surface but actually sighed heavily in his heart, come on, let's start dealing with it.

I have to say that the people in the county government office are quite considerate. They even delivered official documents to my home... Well, okay, I'll do it right away.

Anyway, he can't become a salted fish in this small world.

After this incident, Tang Yu finally understood everything.

But at this moment, Tang Yu did not know that the protagonist had already reported the matter to the court. When the officials heard the name "Tang Yu", they all showed complicated expressions, and finally even the young emperor sighed.

It has to be said that the protagonist not only did not seek credit for himself at all, but also did not hide his praise for Tang Yu in his words. He also specifically mentioned the measures Tang Yu had implemented to control floods and appease refugees.

The emperor in the Golden Throne Hall raised his brows slightly, and finally sighed softly, "That's all."

"Transfer Tang Yu back to the capital."

Tang Yu was once a talented person that the emperor valued, but for various reasons, the emperor decided to give up training Tang Yu after careful consideration.

Being able to easily gain the appreciation of the emperor's younger brother and to thrive among officials of both the left and the right, the emperor's heart of love for talents suddenly became a little wary.

However, after hearing that Tang Yu had solved the matter perfectly, the emperor's fear eased slightly, and he actually agreed to let Tang Yu come back.

The protagonist was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Tang Yu returned to the capital, they would be able to meet often and drink and chat together.

The protagonist wanted to tell Tang Yu the news immediately, so he finally asked the emperor for grace and wanted to bring the transfer order to Tang Yu personally.

"That's fine. You two were classmates. Go ahead." The emperor nodded in agreement.

"yes!"

The protagonist was so happy that after a short rest he rode his horse towards Tang Yu.

The same hurried footsteps, also carrying the same joy, but one was eager to see Tang Yu, while the other was running foolishly to bring the good news to Tang Yu.

then--

The door of the room was pushed open with great force. The door, which seemed indestructible, fell down with a single blow in Xiao Shaoyin's hands. With the loud noise of the door panel falling to the ground, Tang Yu was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

He stepped back quietly, even covering the teacup with his hand.

Wow, what a lot of dust...

This is the tea he just poured.

As the dust calmed down from its restlessness, Xiao Shaoyin's figure at the door gradually became clearer.

He was holding a wooden box in his hands, and his hands were clasping the bottom of the box so hard that he almost embedded his hands in it.

A pair of rippling eyebrows flashed with a myriad of emotions, and the charming and seductive fox eyes also became particularly bright at this moment. Xiao Shaoyin stared at Tang Yu quietly, and finally suddenly ran and bumped into Tang Yu's arms.

Fortunately, Tang Yu had put down the tea in advance, so the support of his hands was enough to stabilize Xiao Shaoyin's slightly trembling body in his arms.

The wooden box between him and Xiao Shaoyin was a bit uncomfortable, but Xiao Shaoyin seemed unaware of it and still held the wooden box tightly.

Tang Yu moved and couldn't help but whispered, "Shao Yin, put the wooden box down first... okay?"

Xiao Shaoyin's brown eyes rolled around, and finally she opened her red lips slightly, and asked Tang Yu with a hint of grievance:

"You never told me..."

You would rather write those words in a notebook than tell me.

So... Tang Yu, don't you believe me at all?

Why?

The eyes that had always been charming and elegant now looked as pitiful as a little white rabbit, or perhaps the grievance and bitterness in his heart had overcome his original rationality and clarity, so he became like this.

Tang Yu's heart moved slightly. Although he was a little confused by the words without any cause and effect, it did not prevent him from gently wiping away the tear that was about to fall from the corner of Xiao Shaoyin's eye with his soft fingertips.

"What happened? Tell me, please?"

Gentle and bewitching words rang in Xiao Shaoyin's ears. Listening to the familiar tone, the sourness in Xiao Shaoyin's heart spread faster and faster, and she even seemed unable to swallow normally.

He frantically flipped through the wooden box in Tang Yu's arms, and finally took out the so-called "evidence" from it -

This is "evidence" enough to prove that Tang Yu is sincere to him.

There was only one sentence written on the slightly yellowed paper with curled edges. Tang Yu stared at the paper held in front of him. After he finally saw clearly what was written on it, his expression suddenly became extremely strange.

No wonder……

No wonder the task progress increased...

"Tang Yu, you don't dislike me, right?" Xiao Shaoyin's hand holding the paper trembled slightly, but she stubbornly wanted to ask Tang Yu for an answer.

Or in other words—

He wanted to hear Tang Yu say that in person.

Tang Yu was torn. Although he knew Shao Yin wanted to hear what he said, was it possible...

Is this really a beautiful misunderstanding?

Xiao Shaoyin was distracted but continued to ask persistently: "This is what you wrote yourself, right? This is also what you wanted to say to me, right?"

Tang Yu forced himself to smile, then nodded solemnly without blushing or beating his heart: "That's right."

There is nothing wrong with this understanding.

"I knew that's what you meant..." Xiao Shaoyin was finally willing to let go of the wooden box at this moment. She seemed to relax and completely collapsed in Tang Yu's arms.

Tang Yu also restrained his strength and hugged Xiao Shaoyin gently but firmly.

Xiao Shaoyin buried his head in front of Tang Yu, greedily smelling the lotus fragrance on Tang Yu's body. He had never felt that the lotus fragrance was so pleasant.

It was at this moment that Xiao Shaoyin suddenly understood—

The yellowed paper was the proof of Tang Yu's implicit yet gentle love.

Fortunately—

I didn't miss it.

From the beginning, he was worried that Tang Yu would be scared by his identity as a nine-tailed fox. Later, when Tang Yu found out, he was worried that they would not be able to be a loving couple like ordinary couples. So after registering the marriage contract with the government, he was worried that Tang Yu did not love him enough.

Along the way, he wanted more and more things. He originally thought that Tang Yu's departure would make him disheartened and unwilling to be tempted again, but he didn't expect that -

When he saw Tang Yu again, his heart was still beating for Tang Yu.

The sound of heartbeats echoing in the chest still tells of the love for Tang Yu.
