Tang Yu had gone to many dog-blood novels to act as cannon fodder, originally thinking he could successfully retreat after completing his mission. Unexpectedly, his next task was to return to those...
Tang Yu didn't actually feel bad about the forced ghost marriage. But when he and Huaiyu were shopping for clothes at a clothing store, Tang Yu noticed Huaiyu's fleeting glance at the red wedding cloth.
At that moment, Tang Yu wondered if Huaiyu was thinking about the ghost marriage. Was Huaiyu missing it?
Or, does Huaiyu now want a wedding ceremony that can be held openly in the sun?
That time, the red silk thread cut through the darkness, carrying with it a sense of joy and a bottomless despair. Tang Yu didn't know Huaiyu's feelings as she prepared for the ghost marriage, nor did he want to recall the past darkness in the bright sunshine. So, he and Huaiyu left the clothing store, and Tang Yu turned back, claiming to have lost something.
"Shopkeeper, how about using this piece of cloth to make wedding clothes?"
Tang Yu gently stroked the red cloth. The delicate texture and pattern on it shone in the golden light. When the shopkeeper asked whether it was for a bride or a groom, Tang Yu smiled faintly and answered seriously:
"Just make two sets of men's styles. In addition, I need some red silk for decoration. This is the deposit, I will come back in three days to pick it up." Tang Yu's sleeve brushed across the table, leaving a piece of gold on the table. The shopkeeper's eyes widened immediately, and he quickly assured Tang Yu:
"No problem, sir! Just come and pick it up in three days! But sir...this size--" The shopkeeper no longer cared whether it was normal to make wedding clothes for the two gentlemen. At this moment, the shopkeeper, who only had gold in his eyes, only cared about the most critical part.
As the saying goes, if you measure correctly, the clothes will fit you properly.
The eager shop owner signaled the tailor with his eyes to take the tape measure, obviously ready for him to measure Tang Yu's size at any time.
But Tang Yu didn't have that much time to waste. If Huaiyu found out he hadn't returned yet, she would definitely be anxious. So Tang Yu quickly reported his and Huaiyu's heights, answered the shopkeeper's questions one by one, and then hurried away.
After Tang Yu left, the shopkeeper immediately shook the gold in his hand and smiled so hard that his face almost broke.

"Did you retrieve the items?"
Huaiyu waited for Tang Yu for a long time on the way back to the inn before finally seeing Tang Yu's figure within her sight.
Tang Yu was afraid that Huaiyu would get suspicious, so he left in a hurry. When he heard Huaiyu's question, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I got it. As expected, I left it in the store. Fortunately, the store owner kept it for me."
"That's good, let's go back." Huaiyu walked over and took out a handkerchief with very natural and smooth movements to wipe away the sweat beads on Tang Yu's forehead bit by bit. After that, he slowly held Tang Yu's hand and walked slowly back to the inn.
Even though she has been a human for so many years, when walking in the sunlight, Huaiyu still feels nostalgic and cherishing.
Tang Yu did not say anything else, but clasped Huaiyu's hand and walked quietly with him on the road. When they were almost at the inn, Huaiyu's voice rang in his ears:
"When do we leave here?"
"About five days later." Tang Yu estimated the time and gave an approximate number of days.
The wedding dress won't be ready until three days later, and there are other things to prepare. I'll definitely need to rest by then, so doesn't that add up to about five days? Yeah, that's right.
Ever since he delivered the things to his junior fellow apprentice, he and Huaiyu have been wandering around aimlessly as they agreed at the first time. However, a journey without a destination always brings some new surprises, so Tang Yu and his friends never stay in one place for too long.
If it weren't for the sudden decision, they might have left tomorrow.
But how can one be sure of things in this world? If he had missed Huaiyu's fleeting glance, he might not have thought of worshipping again in this place.
But sometimes, we need some surprises, don’t we?
Tang Yu did not explain why he was leaving after five days, and Huaiyu did not ask. She just nodded in understanding, indicating that she knew.
But Huaiyu could vaguely feel——
Tang Yu was hiding something from him.
Huaiyu did not choose to ask directly, but asked the waiter to bring up water in the evening, saying that she wanted to take a bath.
Tang Yu knew that Huaiyu liked cleanliness, so he didn't have any inappropriate thoughts. Instead, he casually opened a travel journal to pass the time while Huaiyu was preparing to take a bath.
A screen depicting landscapes, flowers, and birds stood in the clean, elegant room, and behind it lay a bathtub shrouded in mist. Though details were obscured through the translucent screen, outlines and movements were crystal clear.
Even... Tang Yu accidentally saw Huaiyu putting clothes one by one on the rack.
Oh, they are an old couple, why can't he remain calm and composed in this kind of situation?
Tang Yu was a little distressed. Although his eyes had clearly avoided the screen, he could no longer see anything.
Tsk, beauty is harmful.
Tang Yu closed the book and sighed silently.
"Tang Yu——"
The voice that passed through the mist sounded a little hazy, even carrying a subtle temptation. But Tang Yu didn't think much about it. He just heard Huaiyu calling him and asked tentatively:
"What's wrong? Did you forget to take something? Or—"
"You want me to rub your back."
Huaiyu: “…”
The other side of the screen suddenly became unusually quiet, so quiet that Tang Yu wondered if it was just an illusion.
But just when he was about to ask, Huaiyu suddenly spoke coldly: "Come here."
no problem.
Tang Yu went over happily.
Hehe, actually he had wanted to rub Huaiyu’s back for a long time.
As he walked around the screen, Tang Yu was almost blinded by the large area of pearly white that caught his eye.
