Upon seeing her here, Murong Jing felt all the fatigue from days of travel vanish. He even had a fleeting thought: perhaps there was no need to rush the investigation into the moldy relief grain in Jiaozhou.
In that case, wouldn't it be possible to spend more time with her?
Upon seeing her again, Mu Rongjing became certain of one thing: he desperately wanted to see her. He, Mu Rongjing, loved her!
Thinking back to when she left the capital last time, I felt inexplicably bad. My mother repeatedly scolded me for it, saying that I deserved it. My mother said that one should pluck a flower while it blooms, lest one pluck a bare branch when there are no flowers left.
So, even though I knew perfectly well why she invited me to sit at our lodgings in the lobby, I still accepted without a second thought.

"Brother Quan, this is Mu Rongjing from the capital, the young master Mu," Hong Xiaoduo introduced.
The two men clasped their hands in greeting and then walked inside together.
At this moment, Feiyan came out, and Hong Xiaoduo gave an introduction.
Fan Wu and a few others chattered away with the six children outside the yard.
Hong Xiaoduo, Murong Jing, and Quan Jinghuai sat down in the living room. Feiyan brewed tea and set out several small dishes of snacks.
