Cheng Jinxing was already ready and waiting for Xue Hanyu at the door.
After the two of them left the inner courtyard, Shanshui opened his eyes. He looked at Cheng Yue who was sleeping soundly. He got up, put on some clothes and went out.
After Cheng Jinxing took Xue Hanyu and left home with a torch, Shanshui also returned to his home.
He woke up Heizi and Mazi, and told them to follow Cheng Jinxing and Xue Hanyu, not to reveal their whereabouts, and to take action only when they were in danger. In any case, they were to protect the two of them.
"Jinxing, I've never walked at night before! I feel so nervous! Do you think we'll be beaten by Shunbo when we come back tomorrow?"
Xue Hanyu took Cheng Jinxing's hand and said excitedly.
"No. You left a note, and with me here, they won't worry about your safety."
Cheng Jinxing replied.
But I was saying in my heart, I don’t know whether you will be beaten or not, but I will definitely be beaten by the old man.
"Really? That's great! Wow! There are so many stars in the sky! The moon is so round! Jinxing, I'm so happy!"
Xue Hanyu held Cheng Jinxing's hand, without even looking at the road, and instead looked up at the sky and then at the surroundings.
"Today is the fifteenth, and in two quarters it will be the sixteenth. Don't they say the moon is fullest on the sixteenth?"
Cheng Jinxing also looked up at the sky and said.
"I think the sky is the most beautiful today. Jinxing, I'm so happy! I feel like my heart is about to burst out!"
Xue Hanyu smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Yeah, I'm very happy too. Aunt Hanyu, you don't know, I've been very tired from training recently, and I've been wanting to go out and play for a day. It just so happens that you gave me an opportunity. Thank you, Aunt Hanyu!"
Cheng Jinxing nodded.
“You’re so tired every day…”
The two chatted, but not slowly at all. Cheng Jinxing maintained a pace that allowed Xue Hanyu to keep up.
The two of them were almost in the city, hand in hand, when Cheng Jinxing stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Xue Hanyu was stunned.
"Didn't you say there was a murder? Let's not go into the city, let's go to the side. Otherwise, if the brothers in the government see us and tell Lord Ji, he will stop us. He is so worried about you. The path here is a bit bumpy. Aunt Hanyu, you hold the fire and I'll carry you on my back. It will be faster this way."
Cheng Jinxing let go of Xue Hanyu's hand and handed the torch to her.
"oh!"
Xue Hanyu held a torch and lay on Cheng Jinxing's back.
Cheng Jinxing carried the person on his back and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Aunt Hanyu, are you being treated like a pig in a pen by my grandma? Why is it that carrying you this time is different from the first time? You feel much heavier! How much do you weigh?"
Xue Hanyu's face turned red and she wanted to get down and walk by herself.
"Hahaha, I was just kidding. I was wrong, I was wrong. Aunt Hanyu isn't heavy at all. She's even lighter than the pigs in our pen!"
Cheng Jinxing held his hand tightly and laughed.
"Jinxing, you can't say that to me. The food at home is just too good. A-Yue has developed a lot of delicious food recently, and Minhong and I couldn't resist and ate too much. So I'm going to lose weight after I come back this time!"
Xue Hanyu quietly defended himself.
"I'm not heavy, I really am not. I don't need to lose weight. Starving myself is not good for my health."
Cheng Jinxing said seriously.
"I……"
"Hush, be quiet, and throw the torch on the ground!"
Xue Hanyu wanted to continue to argue, but Cheng Jinxing suddenly stopped.
