After Zheng Hongxiu left, only Zhao Cheng, Wu Sisi, and Chen Feier remained in the room.
"Now……"
Zhao Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "We..."
Wu Sisi winked at Zhao Cheng and said, "We..."
The two waited for Chen Feier to respond, but she did not.
"Fei'er, get the atmosphere right," Wu Sisi reminded her.
Chen Feier said, "The three of us... how about we grab a late-night snack first?"
Zhao Cheng asked suspiciously, "Fei'er, what's wrong? It's been so long..."
Chen Feier interrupted Zhao Cheng, saying, "It's because we haven't seen each other for so long that..."
Zhao Cheng interrupted Chen Feier, saying, "How could our sincere feelings become distant because of time?!"
"What??"
Chen Feier said speechlessly, "What I want to say is, after so long, you don't even remember the date I came here!"
Zhao Cheng was stunned.
Chen Feier added, "Sisi, you too! He doesn't remember many of his women, how could he forget you too!"
Wu Sisi and Zhao Cheng exchanged a glance and said, "I'm in charge of such a big mess in Jiangyang County, I really didn't think of this, I'm so sorry!"
Zhao Cheng asked, "How about tonight?"
"I'm cheering you on!" Chen Feier immediately set the tone.
"Then that's the only way..." Zhao Cheng said with a regretful expression.
Chen Feier suddenly thought of something and added, "If you don't mind, I can paint on the side."
“Draw me??” Wu Sisi was also dumbfounded.
"Is that not okay?" Chen Feier asked curiously, "Don't you trust my drawing skills?"
Is this a matter of drawing skills?
Wu Sisi exclaimed, "You really are my best friend!!"
Zhao Cheng walked towards the bed and said, "Alright, alright, stop dawdling. You can do whatever you want. If you don't get started soon, it'll be dawn!"
"Let's get to the bed!" Wu Sisi followed Zhao Cheng to the bedside.
The two had just touched the bed when suddenly there was a "bang"!
The three looked towards the door and saw Zhao Hu looking hurried.
"What are you doing now! I didn't call you here, bro!!"
Zhao Cheng plopped down on the bed, her expression mournful like that of a resentful woman confined to her boudoir.
"Are you all doing this on purpose?"
Zhao Hu hurriedly said, "Master, Lady Zhou has disappeared!"
Zhao Cheng immediately jumped up and asked, "Has a villain broken into the Right Prime Minister's residence?"
Zhao Hu shook his head and said, "No, she ran away on her own."
"Then why didn't you come along?"
"Lost them..."
"Pig brain!"
Zhao Cheng shouted angrily, then paced around the room with his hands behind his back.
"Here she comes, here she comes. She dumped you just to find me. She must have guessed I'd come to Hongxiu Tower."
"She might be watching me from somewhere outside!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Sisi instinctively hid behind Zhao Hu.
Last time in Jiangyang County, although Zhou Nuo's arrow was stopped, Wu Sisi later learned about it...
I was terrified.
Some people are not to be trifled with.
Especially women who are easily jealous.
Especially women who are easily jealous and have excellent archery skills.
They died without even knowing how they died!
"no!"
Zhao Cheng glanced at Wu Sisi and Chen Feier alternately, and said, "For your safety, I can't stay here tonight!"
Wu Sisi immediately replied, "I agree!"
"I'll go out first. You all go back to the Yasu Manor to stay!"
"good!"
Halfway there, Zhao Cheng suddenly turned back, picked up the half-empty wine jug, and poured it all over himself.
Chen Feier asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Cheng said seriously, "The aroma of Hongxiulou is too strong. Let's use the aroma of wine to mask it."
With that, Zhao Cheng walked towards the door.
Whoosh!
An arrow suddenly shot through the window, grazed in front of Zhao Cheng, and embedded itself in a wooden pillar in the room.
Zhao Cheng immediately covered his head and shouted, "They're here! They're really here!"
"Don't panic, Master, I'll protect you!"
Zhao Hu blocked Zhao Cheng's path with his sword drawn, saying, "I swear to defend to the death your right to reminisce with your old friend!"
Seeing that no second arrow had been shot for a long time, Zhao Cheng slowly peeked out and noticed something unusual about the arrow.
There's something there.
Zhao Hu went over, pulled out the arrow, and handed the note to Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng unfolded the note and saw a line of small characters written on it.
"Acheng, have a good time tonight. Come find me at the top of the Mercury Tower in Yanchuan Square tomorrow morning. This is not a joke, so there's no need to worry."
Zhao Cheng handed the note to Wu Sisi and Chen Feier.
Wu Sisi said, "Could it be that they're trying to scam you?"
Zhao Cheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and asked Zhao Hu, "How is Xiao Nuo's mood tonight?"
Zhao Hu thought for a moment and said, "Now that you mention it, I do remember that Lady Zhou looked preoccupied."
Zhao Cheng asked, "Did anything happen during the day?"
"No."
Zhao Hu shook his head and continued, "I asked Lady Zhou, and she said it was just that she hadn't been back to the Right Prime Minister's residence for a long time, and the sight of it brought back memories."
Zhao Cheng's expression turned serious, as if he had guessed something.
"Xiao Nuo isn't trying to scam me. She sent this note because she genuinely wants to put my mind at ease."
Chen Feier also said, "Although I don't have much of a relationship with Zhou Nuo, I've always thought she's a straightforward girl who wouldn't play tricks. Sisi, don't worry."
"Then we..."
Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Hu.
Wu Sisi and Chen Feier also looked at Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Do you want me to go get some midnight snacks?"
