She was happily eating the small dough in her hand. Not far away from her, Rong Gao and Yun Chuxi were hugging each other as they went shopping. The two of them looked so happy that others were envious.
She looked over casually and her gaze froze. The little dough figurine in her hand only had two legs left and fell on the road with a thud. It was quickly trampled by passersby and rolled into a cloud of dust. Chen Guang did not expect to bump into him as soon as she left the house. Moreover, she felt a little sad when she saw the way he interacted with Yun Chuxi. Shouldn't she hate him?
As if sensing something, Rong Gao raised his head and met the woman's gaze in midair. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. They could not hear the noise of the world, nor could they see the swaying figures on the bustling road. Both of them had their own emotions, and at this moment, they only had each other in their eyes.
She stood there, not far away, but it was as if she was at the edge of the sky, untouchable. She smiled, but he did not feel any smile. There was only desolation, helplessness, and a touch of heartache.
Chen Guang opened her mouth but didn't say anything. However, Rong Gao could understand her mouth shape. She said,""Rong Gao, long time no see."
There was no distinction of seniority. He was not called Wangye, but Rong Gao. His heart suddenly twitched. Then, he frowned and subconsciously wanted to walk over…
" Brother Rong, I like this pearl so much…" At this moment, Yun Chuxi pulled his sleeve and pointed at a huge pearl with a face full of joy.
"Yes, I'll buy it." Turning around, Rong Gao did not hesitate to buy it. He smiled and looked over there. The woman was gone.
He just wanted to walk over and show his concern. Just take it as a favor for his former master and ask how she was recovering.
She quickly escaped from the scene with the little dough figurine in her hand. She leaned against the wall and stared at the little dough figurine in her hand in a daze. Chenguang no longer had the mood to go shopping. Sorrow quietly overflowed. She endured it and tears rolled in her eyes, but they did not fall.
On the way back, he happened to meet the hedonistic Wang Shi and his servants. Chen Guang pretended not to see them and walked past them.
Wang Shi let out a sigh of relief as he watched the woman's back disappear around the corner. The scene from last time was still fresh in his memory. This woman was very fierce and violent, but he liked this kind of thing. He turned around and gave a few instructions. Two of the servants quickly responded and then disappeared around the corner. They were ordered by Wang Shi to follow her and see what she was going to do next.
With a perverted smile, Wang Shi stood where he was and began to fantasize again. Soon, he would definitely make that woman beg for mercy under him.
She walked to the door of the house in a daze and did not notice that there were two people following her. When the morning light entered the house, she went straight to her residence without going anywhere. She closed the door and fell to the ground instantly. Her legs were bent and she held her sharp chin. Her large eyes were abnormally empty. The little masked man lying beside her was no longer in that arrogant posture.
Dust flew in the air, and the warm sunlight fell on her palm. She stared blankly for a moment, allowing the warmth to warm her hand. She felt cold all over, as if she had just walked out of an ice kiln. She was so cold.
Knock, knock…Someone knocked on the door and woke her up from her daze. She quickly stood up and picked up the little dough figurine on the ground. She placed it on the table and went to open the door.
It was Xiao Chuan.
"What's wrong?" Chen Guang asked calmly. When she stood up, she had hidden all her thoughts on her face. She didn't want others to see her weakness. This was her personal matter. She just wanted to be alone.
" Liu Han came to look for you just now…" Xiao Chuan was too tired. He had just fought with a mysterious man in the Rong residence and almost injured the most important part of his body. At this moment, his face was pale, and his body was not as stable as before. However, it had not reached the final stage, so Chen Guang's tone was too calm. He did not suspect anything.
"Okay, I know. What's wrong with you?”His face was pale, and even his lips were pale. Chen Guang knew that something must have happened to him, so he asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I had a small problem with someone else.”
"Mhm, if you need anything, feel free to ask.”Chen Guang didn't ask any more questions. He said what he wanted to say.
"Mhm, I'm leaving."
It was not until she could not see Xiao Chuan that she turned around. Her eyes were in a daze as they fell on the little face. Then, she waved her sleeves and walked out. At this moment, she somehow understood one thing. If she really loved him, then she should work hard to fight for him. What was there to hesitate about? She would only know after she tried. She would have no regrets after she tried.
Of course, she wouldn't confess her feelings or anything like that now. It would be completely stupid. She wanted to go back after she recovered from her injuries. She heard from Qing Shu that the old Emperor had given him an order. It was not easy for him to gather 100 million taels of gold in half a year. So, she would do her best to do something for him.
Love was nowhere to be found. Some things and some people were just a thought, and they were destined to suffer.
Night came quickly. The morning light that had swept through the entire library pavilion during the day quickly found a flaw that was not easily noticed. There was a small back door behind the library pavilion. Rather than calling it a small back door, it was actually a small dog hole that was just enough for her to crawl through. For this, she hesitated for a long time, whether to crawl through or not. It was a battle between heaven and earth, but in the end, she decided to crawl through. Once she closed her eyes, it would pass, and no one would see.
The moon was dark and the wind was high. It was a good time to commit the crime. Chenguang was dressed in black tonight, tightly wrapping her beautiful figure. Her face was covered with a layer of black cloth, revealing only her eyes. If the crime failed, it would not be good if someone saw her face, even if she came with the determination to succeed.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a male voice came from behind, scaring Chenguang. The next second, she turned her head with an ugly expression. An old drunkard in tattered clothes appeared in front of her, holding a wine pot in his arms. His body swayed as if he was about to fall down the next second, and he looked at her with sleepy eyes.
Chen Guang breathed a sigh of relief after she brushed away the faint smell of alcohol. Her face looked better, but she was scared to death. She thought she had been discovered, but it turned out that she was just an alcoholic. However, she did not show any contempt and smiled."I just happened to pass by here."
In short, she just wanted to brush off the old drunkard as soon as possible. She still had important things to do.
Although the old drunkard was drunk, he was not that easy to fool. He took a sip of wine and said with a mouth that reeked of alcohol,"Passing by? Then why are you covering your face?"
Chenguang was speechless.
What was wrong with this old drunkard?
"I like to cover my face." Chen Guang gritted his teeth.
"Oh, you like to cover your face? Then why are you still wearing black clothes?”The old drunkard asked again. He glanced at her with his turbid eyes. She was dressed in black clothes and covered with a black veil. No matter who saw it, they would be puzzled. How could there be such a strange person who walked out in black in the middle of the night...
" I like it…" Chen Guang forced a smile and clenched his fists. He had the urge to punch the old drunkard.
Why did he have so many questions? He should have just left. Why did he have to stay here?
" Oh, you like it…" The old drunkard ignored her murderous gaze and turned around. Just as Chenguang was about to heave a sigh of relief, he turned around again and took off her black veil at lightning speed.
Chen Guang quickly covered his face, but he was still seen by the old drunkard. He threw the black veil aside and said with a breath of alcohol,""You're clearly very good-looking. Why do you have to cover your face?”
Morning Light's disbelief turned into grief and indignation. He suddenly felt that the old drunkard was full of malice…He did not know what to say, especially when the old drunkard sat down in front of the dog hole with a thud. He took off his tattered coat and covered himself with it before closing his eyes.
Chenguang was speechless.
"Uncle, are you sure you want to sit here? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" The corner of Chen Guang's mouth twitched. He was really helpless. It was not easy for him to come out at night. He was determined to succeed in one go. He could not return empty-handed, not even able to touch the books in the library, right?
" I'm already used to it…" The old drunkard responded indifferently and fell asleep completely.
Chenguang was speechless.
She glared at the old drunkard and left angrily. She knew that she couldn't do anything tonight. How could she knock the old drunkard out? She really couldn't bring herself to do it to someone who had nothing to do with her.
After she left, another person sneaked in while the general opened the door to check on the situation in the library. He was as fast as a gust of wind. The general thought that the wind was stronger tonight and did not think too much about it.
He ran back to the courtyard and walked quickly through the corridor to his room. He hurried to the door. The door was not closed, but the moonlight shone in from outside. Nan Tianzhu, who was bathed in moonlight, sat on a round stool. He was leaning sideways and his entire body was emitting a layer of hazy fog. If one did not look closely, he would be defined as an immortal descending to the mortal world. His temperament was unparalleled.
Chen Guang wiped his eyes and confirmed that the man he mistook for an immortal was Nan Tianzhu. Why was he not sleeping in her room in the middle of the night?
Chen Guang's eyes flickered as he stopped in his tracks and stood at the door, facing South Tianzhu.
Nan Tianzhu didn't say anything, and neither did she. The two of them stood rooted to the ground, and a subtle atmosphere gradually fermented in the air. In the end, Chen Guang couldn't help but say,"What are you doing here?" Her tone was very dissatisfied. She was as forgetful as the morning light. She had long forgotten about the reminder from South India. She was in a very bad mood now. The plan she had worked so hard to make had to be delayed by a day because of an old drunkard. There was also the man who had mysteriously appeared in her room. No matter what the situation was, just thinking about it made her feel suffocated.
