"What are you doing at the dock? Where are you going? Where's Uncle Liang?"
When they reached the river, Cheng Jinxing finally caught up with Mingzhu and realized that he might still not be Mingzhu's opponent.
"Cheng Jin, OK, I'm leaving now. I want to go out for a walk alone."
Mingzhu looked at the river and said.
"No, you need to go out for a walk, but you can't be so anxious. Have you told Jinyan? Have you told grandpa and grandma? You can't be so heartless. We all treat you as one of our own. Also, if you leave like this, what will happen to Jinyan?"
Cheng Jinyan said with a frown.
"So, didn't I ask you to follow me? Please tell Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle Awen, Uncle Wu, Aunt Lan, Aunt Ayue, Uncle Shanshui, and Jinyan."
Mingzhu smiled.
"No! If you want to say something, go and say it yourself! I won't pass on the message to you!"
Cheng Jinxing shook his head repeatedly and reached out to grab Mingzhu's arm.
Mingzhu glanced down at Cheng Jinxing's hand and said with a smile, "Do you think you can hold me?"
Cheng Jinxing put down his hand depressedly and said, "Aunt Xiang is gone, we all know you will be very sad. But, Mingzhu, you still have our family! You are doing well in our family! Our family will take good care of you on behalf of Aunt Xiang. My mother and Aunt Xiang grew up together as good sisters, she can treat you as her own daughter."
Mingzhu couldn't help but shed tears after Cheng Jinxing said this.
She wiped it, then blew her nose and said, "Cheng Jin, do well in the exam. You definitely won't get first place in martial arts, but in other aspects, strive to get first place. If you put yourself in the top ten, with Uncle Cheng's relationship with the emperor, you should at least get third place in martial arts!"
"Is there anyone who is so devastating as you? As if I have no ability and rely on connections?"
Cheng Jinxing rolled his eyes.
Mingzhu smiled and continued, "Tell Jinyan that if he can pass the imperial examination this year, I will come back to find him. If he fails, I will ignore him for the rest of his life! Tell him to study hard and achieve the best, then he can miss me."
"Tell him yourself!"
Cheng Jinxing frowned.
"Cheng Jinxing, you must recognize your own heart. Take a bold step forward and do your best to fight for the one you love. Don't be like those who can't get the love they want and live in regret for the rest of their lives!"
"Also, take good care of Aunt Ayue and learn some skills from Uncle Shanshui! Okay, I'm leaving! Tell everyone for me, thank you for taking care of me this past year!"
Mingzhu said this and turned and ran away.
Cheng Jinxing went after her, but this time he failed to catch Mingzhu.
Cheng Jinxing only stopped after chasing them far out of Taoyuan County.
He supported his knees with his hands and cursed with gritted teeth: "Stinky girl, damn girl, just wait for me, the next time I see you, I will definitely torture you to tears!"
After taking a short rest, Cheng Jinxing turned around and walked back.
He was thinking about how to go back and tell Jin Yan.
He wasn't worried about his family, but what was he going to say to Jin Yan, his brother who was one year older than him?
He fully understood how Cheng Jinyan would react after knowing Mingzhu had left without saying goodbye.
Cheng Jinyan is devastated, and his mother and grandfather probably are in a bad mood every day.
Oh, this little girl, I shouldn’t have let her come into contact with Jin Yan in the first place.
He walked farther and farther away, and after a while, Mingzhu finally came out from the woods nearby.
