What is going on?

Fang Jinxiu couldn't hide her surprise when she saw Jun Zhenzhen under the light of the lantern.

How should I know! I don't even know how I promised him and brought him into the house! And drove away the guards! And threatened them not to tell my grandmother! And called you over!

God knows what is going on!

Fang Jinxiu handed the lantern in her hand to Miss Jun, turned around and walked away.

A lamp gave them some light, but it was pitch dark. She didn't walk too far, leaving enough space for them to talk so that she couldn't hear them, but also so that outsiders wouldn't see that they were alone together.

She was really worried.

This was what she had promised the security guards. At this moment, not far away, there was a group of security guards who looked as if they had seen a ghost.

What the hell is this? Fang Jinxiu rolled her eyes to the sky. This is the result of not going to bed well.

Ning Yunzhao looked at the girl in front of him. She was holding a lantern in her hand, just like the first time he met her, but this time her hair was not loose. It was tied up behind her. She wore a white silk blouse and a red line skirt. She seemed not to know that she would walk so far out of the yard. She did not bring a cloak, and she looked as frail as a willow in the spring night.

This is an outfit for going to bed at night. Even brothers are not allowed to see it. Only the closest people can see it.

Ning Yunzhao lowered his eyes.

"No wonder you knew that was my birthday," he said.

This was the first sentence he said to her after they met again. He had thought about so many things, but in the end he said something he had never thought of before.

Miss Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and understood.

It is impossible for an ordinary girl to know Ning Yunzhao's birth date, but as his former fiancée, it is clearly written on the marriage certificate in her hand.

"Hmm." Miss Jun said, "What a coincidence."

Ning Yunzhao raised his head and looked at her.

"Is it a coincidence or a coincidence?" he asked.

Miss Jun was stunned for a moment. The lantern in her hand illuminated the face of the young man in front of her. The expression on his handsome face was extremely complicated.

Was it intentional? I met him and played chess with him.

It’s no wonder that Ning Yunzhao misunderstood. It was such a coincidence at the time. She was also very surprised. There was no way to explain it.

"You think too much." Miss Jun could only say sincerely.

Overthinking? Just one sentence of overthinking? Just one sentence of overthinking. Does that explain everything?

Ning Yunzhao's heart was suddenly filled with waves, and he didn't even know what was going on. But what was even more terrifying was that he suddenly didn't want to suppress his surging emotions.

Perhaps it was because of the night, under the cover of the night all the hidden emotions that were suppressed during the day surged up and ran rampant.

"Am I just overthinking it?" he said. Perhaps because he had never said such a thing before, his voice was a little trembling.

Miss Jun was stunned again, and felt uneasy when she heard the grievance in Ning Yunzhao's voice.

She was really not good at comforting people, and she never expected Ning Yunzhao to say such words.

It sounded a little... weird, and she didn't know how to describe the feeling.

"Yes," she said. Although she felt that Ning Yunzhao's mood was not right, she still told the truth.

yes?

Is he overthinking?

"Why did you give me a lantern?" Ning Yunzhao looked at her and asked.

You still say I'm overthinking? Since you know who I am and what our relationship is, why don't you tell me? Why did you give me the lantern?

The lantern is still on my desk and I look at it every day.

It was such a coincidence. It was so wonderful that he could not forget it, and he looked forward to it. Then he found that what he had been looking for was something he had never cared about, and something he had given up.

Are you happy about this?

This young man seemed to be several years older than Fang Chengyu. Whether in the legend or on the two occasions she had seen him in person, he was always gentle and polite. However, Miss Jun felt a little embarrassed to hear him ask such a question at this moment.

She knew what Ning Yunzhao was thinking and understood why he thought so. It was indeed a bit frivolous to do that at that time.

"I. Didn't think that much." She said apologetically.

She said he was overthinking it, and she said she didn't think that much.

Ning Yunzhao just felt mixed emotions.

"Mr. Ning, I didn't mean to do that. It was just a coincidence that we met at that time." Miss Jun thought for a moment and continued, her voice a little softer, "I was also surprised. I didn't mean to deceive you. I just thought that we had a good game of chess and wanted to give you the lantern as a gift. I didn't have any other thoughts. If I had any thoughts, it was that we would have nothing to do with each other and never meet again..."

Before she finished speaking, Ning Yunzhao raised his hand to stop her.

"Okay, okay," he said, "I know. I misunderstood. No need to explain."

Miss Jun stopped talking and looked at him.

Silence fell between the two.

Ning Yunzhao didn't look at her, but looked at the night beside him.

"To be able to play such a wonderful chess game, he must be a man of integrity and righteousness." He said, and looked over without pausing, "I came here to talk about what happened today."

So what we said before was just the opening greeting?

Miss Jun thought about it and of course she wouldn't ask again.

"Thank you very much for what happened today, Master Ning..." she said while bowing.

"I should thank you." Ning Yunzhao said. Although his voice remained gentle, he kept interrupting her unconsciously, as if he didn't want to hear her talk any more.

Miss Jun stopped talking.

This silence made Ning Yunzhao feel even worse.

"I have already asked, Miss Lin was induced by my sister to do what she did today." He continued, "Of course, my sister didn't know what she was going to arrange, but she didn't deny that she was happy to see Miss Lin do this."

Miss Jun looked at him, her eyes sweeping across his face.

Ning Yunzhao felt her gaze and turned away, feeling even more anxious.

Don't you know it's very rude to look at people like that?

"Master Ning has already found out the truth." Miss Jun said, "Anyone who can play such a wonderful chess game must be a man of integrity."

From the time he left Jinyun Tower to his return to Beiliu and then from Beiliu to Yangcheng, he did not stop for a moment during this half day, which shows his firm determination and calmness.

Although I didn't do these things for her, it still made me feel good that my actions were understood by others.

It didn't matter whether she understood or not, Ning Yunzhao raised his head with a calm expression.

"I'm here today to apologize for what my sister did," he said.

Miss Jun smiled and said nothing.

"Of course the apology must be sincere, and I will let Miss Jun see my sincerity." Ning Yunzhao continued.

"Mr. Ning is very sincere. I have seen it." Miss Jun said.

Let her think whatever she wants. He has to do whatever he should do anyway, and it’s not based on what she wants.

Ning Yunzhao lowered his eyes, then raised them again.

"But it was you who did what happened to Miss Lin, right?" he said.

She was not afraid to tell others about this. When Miss Jun was about to speak, Ning Yunzhao spoke first again.

"Just avoid it, why bother?" he said.

Miss Jun smiled.

"If someone hurts me, shouldn't I hurt him?" she said.

Ning Yunzhao frowned as he looked at her, but this time Miss Jun did not let him speak and took the first step.

"An old lady said that's bullshit," she said with a smile.

Under the soft light, a smile spread in her eyes. Although the words she said were abominable, they sounded cute.

Ning Yunzhao avoided the sight.

"Of course it's bullshit." He said angrily, "Bullshit is also bullshit."

The atmosphere was stagnant.

Ning Yunzhao was even more annoyed. Although he was a scholar, scholars also swore. The only difference was that he could not swear in front of girls. It was too rude.

They were not that familiar with each other, and it was a bit frivolous for her to say that. The incident with the lanterns was enough, and Miss Jun quickly stopped laughing.

"Master Ning," she said in a gentle voice, "I am troubled by this matter."
