Su Miaoyan suddenly came to her senses, turned around and saw that the person who came was Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu smiled and said, "Su Miaoyan, someone is looking for you outside."
Looking for me?
Xiao Xu nodded: "Yes."
"oh."
Su Miaoyan gave a dry reply.
She put down all the bedding in her hands, got up, and went outside.
Xiao Xu felt something was off; why was Su Miaoyan so listless?
She shook her head, put her hands on her hips, nodded at the wall in front of her, and continued what she was doing.
It was pitch black outside, and Su Miaoyan walked into the courtyard by the faint moonlight.
The courtyard gate was slightly ajar, and a dark shadow could be seen through it.
Su Miaoyan thought it was Miao Qihuai, pushed open the door, and stepped over the threshold: "Miao Qihuai..."
Unexpectedly, a familiar face came into view. The man had wheat-colored skin, a well-defined jawline, and sharp, narrow eyes with dark pupils that reflected her figure.
Su Miaoyan was slightly surprised: "Lu Ting?"
Lu Ting gave a low "hmm" and took out the train ticket from his breast pocket.
"Wife, I'm leaving."
Su Miaoyan remained silent.
He took the train ticket.
After reading the contents of the train ticket, he looked up and exclaimed, "Yanjing?"
"Hmm." Lu Ting reached out and brushed the stray hairs from her forehead.
Rough calluses rubbed against her jade-like skin, burning hot like molten lava.
Su Miaoyan felt her heart tremble. In the moonlight, she sensed that Lu Ting was looking at her strangely.
Like stagnant water in a deep, cold pool that has been still for thousands of years, calm yet extremely sticky.
She trembled slightly, and the strange thoughts in her mind suddenly vanished.
The surroundings were silent, except for the sound of the Taka River flowing in the distance, brushing against her ears like feathers.
Su Miaoyan felt her whole body stiffen: "Why go to Yanjing?"
Is it as she guessed?
Lu Ting didn't say anything, he just gently hugged her.
The deserted street was empty except for the two of them. His chest exuded an invisible sense of security, like spring vines or a sticky, cool snake, both of which tightly bound her together.
It was as if he wanted to integrate her into his very bones, making it impossible to separate them even slightly.
His thin lips lightly brushed against her fair earlobe, his voice low and husky, sending shivers down her spine.
"I've been transferred, and I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow."
Su Miaoyan understood.
She asked, "Does that girl from today also know about this?"
Lu Ting was puzzled.
"What girl?"
Su Miaoyan didn't say anything, she just looked at him.
He was thinking about it very seriously.
He suddenly remembered Aida during the day, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his eyes and brows slightly smiling.
"Honey, are you jealous?"
Su Miaoyan was taken aback.
After realizing what was happening, a blush crept onto her fair face. She struggled to break free from the man's embrace, but his strong arms held her tightly.
A sly glint flashed in her eyes, though sometimes she seemed a little confused.
Why would Lu Ting joke around and tease her?
The next moment, the man recounted the whole story, including how Yan Lin had spoken to him.
Su Miaoyan understood.
It turns out I was just overthinking things.
She looked up: "So I can only go to Yanjing in half a month?"
Lu Ting nodded: "Yes, that's right. So we need to hurry up and get to the black market."
"Then let's set it for tomorrow?"
"Okay, let's set it for tomorrow night."
There was silence between the two.
After a few seconds, Su Miaoyan seemed to remember something, looked directly into the other person's eyes, and said very seriously, "Lu Ting, I'm not jealous."
Lu Ting paused for a few seconds, then gently rubbed her head with his long, slender fingers. The height difference between the two was very obvious; he was so tall that it seemed as if he would envelop her entirely in shadow.
He chimed in, "Okay, you're not jealous, I'm the one who's jealous."
Su Miaoyan always felt that Lu Ting had turned bad, but she didn't know if this man had finally revealed his true colors.
She snorted and didn't want to pay him any more attention.
Lu Ting thought his wife's proud and aloof demeanor was really cute, like the snow rabbits scattered all over the Lama Desert, fluffy, yet very clever and quick-witted.
His heart was only for his wife; as for Aida, that was just a soldier's duty ingrained in his bones.
It is absolutely unacceptable to stand by and watch someone die.
However, the thought of parting ways the day after tomorrow filled Lu Ting's heart with reluctance.
Every inch of her features seemed to be etched into his heart, something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile, on the other side...
Miao Qihuai was sneaking out of the courtyard. She was neither from the research institute, so she didn't need to go on-site investigations, nor was she from Lu Ting's side, so she didn't need training.
So she had a lot of freedom that day.
In order to prepare money to make a living, she decided to go to the black market and sell all the polished jade stones she had.
Although doing so is somewhat dangerous.
However, it's just like playing the stock market. When others are fearful, I'm greedy. I might go all in at the drop of a hat. Isn't life all about gambling?
Miao Qihuai is just that bold.
She asked the local villagers about the location of the black market, but no one would tell her.
And judging from her clothes and appearance, she just left.
Miao Qihuai realized his mistake and tapped his head.
I decided to secretly follow them that night.
So, she is currently...
track.
She smeared her face with lime and put on a straw hat.
Seeing the suspicious figure from next door carrying things out, he followed without saying a word.
Whether it was good luck or not, the other party didn't even notice her presence along the way.
She somehow made it to the entrance of the black market.
The black market was surprisingly close to the town of Takuwa, and in an inconspicuous spot in the Lamagan Mountains.
She went inside, and almost instantly, upon seeing the scene before her, she was completely stunned.
It has to be said that the black market and the outside world are simply two different worlds.
There were plenty of wild vegetables, fruits, milk, mutton, eggs, and some tools that she didn't usually have access to.
But she didn't come here today to spend money.
So Miao Qihuai quickly found a place and started a business.
However, since she was in the jade business, and the black market was generally quite chaotic, she didn't want to be robbed. After thinking it over, she ended up only putting a pair of inconspicuous but not cheap earrings on her hands.
It seems like everyone here is wealthy.
Soon, a young woman walked over.
She was dressed very beautifully, and the gold earrings hanging from her earlobes were particularly eye-catching.
She glanced at the earrings in Miao Qihuai's hand and asked, "How much?"
Miao Qihuai quoted a price.
The girl nodded, seemingly quite satisfied, and bought it right away.
The first deal was made so inexplicably.
Miao Qihuai did not let the customer leave, but instead took out her other jewelry and gave it to the customer.
The idea behind fleecing is to find someone and exploit them!
