Feng Guang said frankly, "If I think I can't do something, but those people can, then I will definitely think they are amazing. What's wrong with that?"
No, there's nothing wrong with that.
Si Jia said calmly, "This way."
"Hey, wait for me." She jogged to catch up with him, cautiously glancing at his expression, and asked curiously, "Are you angry?"
He answered decisively, "No."
"Oh... so you're angry." She tugged at his sleeve. "Why are you angry?"
"I'm not angry."
She pouted, "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. Men's hearts are truly unfathomable."
Before Sijia could say anything, a group of people approached, led by a young and beautiful lady.
She approached with a friendly smile and asked, "Are you two residents of this town?"
"No," Feng Guang replied. "We're also from out of town. And you are?"
“We are a theatrical troupe, making a living by traveling around performing. When we came to this town, we found that there was hardly anyone on the road, and we couldn’t find anyone to ask for directions, so we came here to ask you, young lady and gentleman.”
"A theatrical troupe!" Feng Guang's eyes lit up. "So, you'll be staying in this town to perform?"
The woman smiled and said, "Yes, but before that, we need to find an inn to rest for a while before deciding when to set up the stage for the performance."
“The inn is… uh, walk along this street, and then… and then…” She looked at the man beside her for help.
Si Jia was silent for a moment at her forgetfulness before saying to the lady, "Walk along this street and turn left, and you will see an inn."
"Thank you for showing us the way, young master and young lady. We'll be going now." The woman bowed and walked away with the people behind her along the path indicated by Si Jia.
"A theatrical troupe...it must be so much fun, Sijia. Shall we go watch it together when they start?"
"I only agreed to take you out for three days."
She pursed her lips. "Maybe they're performing tonight or tomorrow."
We'll talk about it then.
"oh……"
They finally arrived at the riverbank. The innkeeper was right; the scenery here was indeed beautiful. Willows drooped on both banks, mist swirled around the river, and there were several small boats on the shore, all unoccupied. It seemed that these were the boats the innkeeper had mentioned, the kind that anyone could use to enjoy a lake trip.
Feng Guang lifted her skirt and walked to the shore. In contrast to her cheerful demeanor, Si Jia appeared much calmer and quieter. Looking at their backs, one could sense their contrasting stillness and movement.
"Sijia, come quickly!" She waved to Sijia, who was walking slowly towards her, and then turned around to step onto the boat first. But a child's exclamation came from behind the willow tree not far away.
Feng Guang stopped and ran to the side. Behind the willow tree was You'er, whom she had met once before. He was lying on the ground, seemingly having fallen accidentally.
She quickly knelt down to help him up, brushing the dust off his clothes. "You'er, are you alright?"
The boy shook his head. "I'm fine."
At this moment, Si Jia also came over, but he simply stood behind Feng Guang and did not intend to say another word.
Only those who practice martial arts would understand that his action at that moment was a defensive posture.
Fengguang asked the boy, "Why are you here all alone? Where's your mother?"
“My mother wouldn’t let me go out to play, so… I secretly ran away.”
