That night, when the moon was high in the sky, Dong Yuefan returned to her residence, slightly drunk and with a touch of sadness.
I saw that my good friend was still awake, reading in the study.
"If you're not sleepy, how about we have another drink?" Seeing his good friend, Dong Yuefan felt a pang of guilt.
Mu Zitao refused: "I waited for you to come back so I could tell you that I'm leaving tomorrow too."
"What? You're leaving tomorrow too? Hey, didn't you say when you came that you wouldn't go back unless that person in the capital summoned you? Why are you suddenly leaving all of a sudden?"
"So what if I didn't spend time with you tonight? I'm really not prioritizing romance over friendship. I swear to God, starting tomorrow—no, starting tonight, right now—I'll stay with you the whole time. I won't even go to the government office if there's anything going on. How about that?" Dong Yuefan was getting a little anxious.
He was already feeling a bit lost and sad because the girl he had just met, Xiaoduo, was leaving. He was thinking that at least he still had a good brother here, but now his good brother was saying he was leaving?
Dong Yuefan suddenly felt abandoned, and felt heartbroken, aggrieved, and upset!
Seeing him like this, Mu Zitao suddenly felt like he had betrayed his friend, feeling guilty, ashamed, and even a little contemptuous of himself!
"You're all grown up now, how can you act like a child? You know I've been either fighting enemies or training troops these past few years. I finally have some free time, and I wanted to take this opportunity to travel around."
Otherwise, who knows if I'll still have the chance to travel this beautiful land when war breaks out? He knows how to gain sympathy too!
To avoid the kid thinking he left out of spite, cursing himself is acceptable.
People who have been on the battlefield don't believe in these things.
"Pah, pah, pah, what unlucky talk! We'll all live well and live to be a hundred. By the way, where are you planning to go? South or north?" Hearing this, Dong Yuefan could no longer force them to stay.
Where are you planning to go? It was such a simple question, but Mu Zitao didn't know how to answer it properly, or how to answer it in a way that wouldn't make the kid in front of him think about things he shouldn't know.
He wasn't sure exactly where they were going. He knew the young woman was leaving, and he was thinking that some places weren't safe these days, with people robbing people on the road and killing and robbing people at night.
She was a young woman, leading seven handsome children on her journey. It wasn't that people wouldn't try to take advantage of them just because she had a sword at her waist.
Tomorrow morning, he'll see which way she goes and then go that way. Of course, he's not doing this out of kindness or because he's worried about her and those seven bald boys escorting her.
Didn't they treat him like he wasn't there? Didn't they ignore him? Well, he refused to believe it. He wanted to see how she and the children would ask him for help when they were in danger...
