Moonlit night.

On the bed.

The two snuggled together.

Su Xiaoxiao cried, "Xiaoxiao doesn't care, Xiaoxiao doesn't care at all, Xiaoxiao just wants you..."

Zhao Rong gently held her little hand and saw that Su Xiaoxiao was about to cry, like a crabapple flower that could not bear the morning dew.

He pursed his lips, was silent for a while, and finally spoke, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"But I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart. I don't want to let you down."

"Baby, I will try my best to give you the best I can get at the moment... So, I decided to first deliver the letter that Mr. Fang entrusted me to Linlu Academy, and then find an opportunity to see if I can enter the academy to study."

"Then, as a scholar of the academy, I will be able to meet your great-grandmother and clansmen with my head held high."

"Zhao Lang, there's no need to be like this. I'm really satisfied now. On the contrary, I often feel that I'm not worthy of you..."

"Baby, stop talking. I have made up my mind. You know how good I am, but others don't. There are too many vulgar people in the world who only measure by wealth and fame. I can't let you be secretly looked down upon by your tribe! Not even a little bit!"

Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip and stared at Zhao Rong blankly.

Zhao Rong coaxed softly:

"Baby, let's separate for a while. Tomorrow you go to Zhaixing Tower to find your great-grandmother. Don't run around. Wait until I enter the academy. Well, it's better to wait until I gain some fame. When the time is right, I will immediately go to Zhaixing Tower to find you and go together to meet your parents... your great-grandmother."

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Zhao Rong's big hands that were holding her little face, and opened her pink lips slightly, wanting to speak, but seeing Zhao Rong's firm expression, she did not say anything.

Zhao Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two were silent for a while.

Su Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and suddenly said, "Zhao Lang..."

"Baby!"

Zhao Rong's tone was helpless.

"Well, I'm not trying to persuade you, I'm just worried..."

Zhao Rong was curious, "What are you worried about?"

Su Xiaoxiao sniffed, "If you can't enter the academy, will Xiaoxiao never see you again?"

Zhao Rong: “…”

…

The next morning.

Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao got up and went out early.

The two arrived at the door of the inn.

Then he saw Lu Wan's carriage waiting under a tree not far away.

Zhao Rong yawned: "So early?"

Lu Wan smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao got in the car.

Lu Wan's gaze lingered on Zhao Rong's face for a while and found that he seemed a little listless. Didn't he sleep well last night?

"Mr. Zhao, where are you going?"

"Let's go directly to East City. Take us to Zhaixing Tower. Send the baby there first, and then we can leave."

Lu Wan was startled when she heard this and turned around to look at Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao.

Are we going to separate? No wonder the fairy girl's tone was a little depressed when she greeted him just now.

The carriage started moving slowly.

Zhao Rong yawned again.

Last night, after learning that they would be separated for a while tomorrow, Su Xiaoxiao said that she wanted to do needlework again so that he could check if she had made any progress in her training during these days.

Of course Zhao Rong refused righteously at first, after all, he had important things to do tomorrow.

But this little girl was so charming that she transformed into Su Fox Fairy again. She glared at him arrogantly and ordered him coldly to bring her imperial needle and thread.

final.

Zhao Rong still couldn't hold on and gave up...

Zhao Rong turned his head and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao who was hugging his arms tightly. She didn't have any of the cold and arrogant Su Fox Fairy from last night. She was clearly just a submissive young wife.

He sighed softly.

Su Xiaoxiao said softly: "Zhao Lang, look, the Huayi Mountain has changed color again."

When Zhao Rong heard the sound, he looked and saw that the highest mountain in East City, which was purple yesterday, had changed into a "red dress".

and.

Today's Youshan is different from yesterday.

From a distance, you can see countless white dots flying around the mountain, but they are too far away to make out what they are.

I guess it has something to do with the Taoist Couple Ceremony.

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows.

"Zhao Lang, if I miss you and you don't come, what should I do?"

He turned around and saw Su Xiaoxiao's timid and adorable look.

Zhao Rong patted her head, "You are already a mature little fox demon. You need to learn to adapt to when I am not around."

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed the warm big hand with her little head.

She looked up at Zhao Rong and said word by word, "What if I can't adapt? Do I still miss you very much?"

Zhao Rong was silent.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Don't worry. I'll come to see you when I have time. But if you can't help it, well, then go find Miss Awan. I should often ride in her car. After all, I have a card... But in the short term, I have to study hard. Don't come to see me every day, you stupid girl..."

"Besides." Zhao Rong suddenly looked serious. "If there is anything important that concerns you, you must tell me immediately, right away, as soon as possible!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, "Yes, Xiaoxiao will remember it. I will go find you when I miss you so much that I can't help it. I will go find you when something big happens."

Zhao Rong snapped his fingers, "Smart."

Su Xiaoxiao looked hopeful, "Zhao Lang, you must study hard. Xiaoxiao is very well behaved and will never bother you casually, but you must not forget Xiaoxiao."

Zhao Rong nodded, but subconsciously looked away.

Didn't go see her.

In fact, Zhao Rong just wanted to send Su Xiaoxiao away within a short period of time.

Because he wanted to find Qingjun to return the jade.

But he still had some thoughts from his previous life, and was afraid that if Su Xiaoxiao and Qingjun met directly, everything would end in failure.

Zhao Rong didn't want to have any regrets and wanted it all.

So I thought about doing some ideological work on them in advance, testing their attitudes, and then finding a suitable time to confess to them.

In order to avoid confrontation and conflicts that are difficult to resolve.

This is also the reason why he kept the matter about Qingjun a secret from Su Xiaoxiao along the way.

After all, judging from his probing, Su Xiaoxiao's current situation, um, is still a little uncertain...

And this time why not go with Su Xiaoxiao to meet her great-grandmother first.

This is because Zhao Rong found that this was a rare opportunity to find an excuse to get the little girl away. If she met her great-grandmother, the little girl would probably become even more clingy and would not leave his side.

He planned to send Su Xiaoxiao into the Zhaixing Tower, then go to Linlu Academy to deliver the letter. After finishing the business, he would leave immediately and go to Taiqing Mansion to look for Qingjun.

As for Su Xiaoxiao, he would never be willing to forget her. He would just wait until Qingjun's matter was resolved before going to find her and meet her great-grandmother.

As for studying at Linlu Academy...

Since he had already promised this silly girl, even though it was just an excuse, he must do it.

I already feel guilty about Qingjun's matter, how can I let her down again in other matters?

Alas, silly girl.

I'll come to you as soon as I'm done!
