  Three steaming bowls of wontons were brought up, Chu Ke had only drunk a bowl of bird's nest congee from morning till now, and she was so hungry that her stomach was stuck to her back. She couldn't be bothered to talk, and as soon as the bowls arrived, she used a spoon to scoop one into her mouth. The scalding hot wonton made her fan herself with her hand to cool down, which startled Zhu Yuanshen to hurry over and blow air into her mouth to cool it down.

  "Slow down... what if it's too hot?" He complained, not eating the ones in his own bowl either. He scooped a dumpling into a spoon and blew on it forcefully, then quickly fed it to her mouth. Chu Ke didn't stand on ceremony, immediately opening her mouth wide to eat it.

  Like this, eating her own, and being fed Zhu Yichen's, Chu Keqi insisted on finishing two bowls of wontons, and went to pick up the third bowl.

  "Aren't you afraid of getting bloated?" Zhu Yichen had just said a sentence when Chu Keqi glared at him, and he quickly smiled and put the bowl in front of himself: "It's late, don't eat so much, or you'll fall asleep as soon as you go back, it's easy to get indigestion, what if your stomach doesn't feel well tomorrow? Let me have some instead." He softly persuaded.

  The little peddler immediately laughed and said beside him: "Young master is right, don't eat so much at night."

  Chu Kei Hui's face turned red as she let go of his hand, Zhu Yi Zhen hastily finished the remaining bowl of noodles and handed over a few large bills to the vendor. He then smiled and pulled Chu Kei Hui back home.

  Chu Ke's empty stomach finally had some food, and he felt a bit more energetic. He was pulled by him to walk through this street, and when he turned back, the small vendor had already quickly packed up his stall, shouldered his pole, and disappeared into the darkness.

  The surroundings turned dark again, and after turning a corner, this side was even more desolate. Even the wind lanterns on the street corners were much dimmer, swaying ominously in the wind.

  Zhu Yicheng held her hand, feeling that her other hand had grasped his arm. He turned back to look and saw that she was very close, glancing around stealthily. Then a gust of cold wind blew over, and she immediately hugged his arm tightly, leaning against him closely, and whispered: "It's so dark and scary... if I were alone in such a place, I'd be scared to death... by the way, is Lan Ticsi afraid? How did she get home?" Chu Kui's voice was trembling slightly in the darkness.

  Zhu Yichan coldly smiled and said, "What's it to me? Originally, she had nothing to do with me, but for some unknown reason, she kept following me. People like her are simply looking for trouble when they have nothing better to do."

  "How vicious." Although Chu Ke'er was delighted to hear it, she still said in a gloomy tone.

  Zhu Yicheng stopped in his tracks, turned around and pulled her back into his arms, looking down at her: "What do you mean?"

  Chu Ke blinked and smiled: "But it's very poisonous, I'm afraid of women being too vicious, so I can rest assured."

  "Hmph." Zhu Yichen chuckled and pulled her along as they continued walking.

  "But when I get home, what should I say? Should I say that I came back by myself? Will they think too much about it?" Chu Ke asked again after a while.

  "Think more if you want to think more, it's better for the old lady to think more. As for Grandpa and Dad... actually they don't have any ideas, they all listen to the old lady's instigation."

  "Right, also is." Chu Ke nodded and said.

  Zhu Yichan turned his head and looked at her, saying: "Going back, you're going to deal with the old lady? What's on your mind? How can I help?"

  Chu Ke shook her head and said, "At that time, I thought it would be enough to let my grandfather and father know the true face of Xue E. That day on the boat, I suddenly thought that if Xue E wore that stunning outfit and appeared in front of Chu Shaoshi and Chu Nanchen, hmm, and also Old Lady, their faces would definitely be very interesting... But after thinking about it later, it seemed not very possible, Xue E is not stupid either... Not easy to do."

  Zhu Yichen fell silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "No matter what you do, don't think of me as your mastermind again."

  Chu Ke was stunned for a moment before reacting to what he said, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Speak softly, aren't you afraid? Who would come out and see us walking together in the middle of the night, they'd think... " Although Zhu Yuxuan was complaining about her with his mouth, looking at her laughing happily, he also had a high smile on his face, seemingly extremely pleased.

  "Thought what...?" Chuyi Ke repeated, tilting her head to look at him: "What do you mean? Thought I was what?"

  Zhu Yichan whispered something in her ear, but Chu Kui didn't understand it and said vaguely: "What...?" But she also knew it wasn't a good thing to say, so she shook her head and said: "Forget it, I'm sure it's not something pleasant to hear... Turns out you're a bad egg on the inside, even if you look honest on the surface."

  "I? I'm actually quite honest... But since it's already been taken over, what else is there between us?" Zhu Yichen said with a smile.

  Before he could finish speaking, Chu Ke had already raised his fist and started pounding on his back: "Nonsense nonsense, you're really asking for it"

  Zhu Yichen was teased into a straight smile, and didn't dodge or evade, letting her own fists and legs beckon on her body, pulling her all the way forward: "Really hope we're already married, pulling is going back to our home..."

  “……”

  Darkness fostered courage, he pulled her close to himself, then reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her in his embrace as they walked. Chu Kui naturally didn't cooperate, twisting and turning to try and break free, but he insisted on holding her like that as they walked, the two of them tugging and pulling at each other, laughing softly as they made their way forward.

  Zhu Yichen really hoped that this road would go on forever, but soon they arrived at the Chu Mansion's alley. The entrance of the alley hung a lantern that cast a faint light on the path, Zhu Yichen still couldn't bear to let go and continued to hold hands as they walked in, arriving at her mansion gate. Under the eaves of the gate hung four lanterns in a row, illuminating the area brightly.

  He pulled her and was about to walk into the bright place when he stopped and said, "Go up and knock on the door. I'll watch from the corner of the wall. Once you go in, I'll leave."

  "By the way, where are we going? Where will we stay tonight?"

  "Government hostel."

  "Is it still open so late?"

  "Don't worry, that's a guest house for officials from other places who come to Beijing. It's open all night. However, this time we'll be apart for a long time again..." He reached out and tidied up her hair which was blown into disarray by the wind: "When can I come to propose?"

  "...as I said, we need to placate the old lady"

  "When will she calm down?"

  "Chu Ke was amused by the situation: "I'm not a god, I can just use my finger to press her down... Let me think of a way, I'll think slowly..."

  "No way" Zhu Yichen suddenly entwined, embracing her body and walking towards the dark corner of the wall: "Must have some time, otherwise I'll be unbearable... or else I'll die of anxiety"

  "What's the point... How can I give you time..."

  Zhu Yi Chen lowered his head to find her lips, mumbling: "Give me a month, just one month, hurry up and settle the old lady. One month later I'll come to propose, if the old lady doesn't agree, I...I..." He found her lips again, immediately covering them, rolling and sucking kisses, even more overbearing than before...

  Although domineering, he quickly let her go and whispered in her ear: "One month, huh? Otherwise, I'll come to propose, if the old lady doesn't agree, I'll go and slaughter Xue E"

  Chu Xue was laughing so hard in his arms that she was shaking all over, Zhu Yi Chen's face turned stern as he pushed her away slightly: "Don't laugh" His voice was a bit severe, but his actions were gentle.

  He gently pushed open a bit more: "Don't laugh." This time his voice was softer.

  Chu Ke was pushed to the point of being at a loss, and finally thought that he was really angry, so he hurriedly said: "I'll try my best... Oh God, I also have to find a way... Don't come for a month, wait until my flying letter is delivered, then come... Otherwise, don't come, it's really... If you really want to... I'll go to the nunnery to see my mother too."

  Zhu Yichan let out a deep sigh, his voice low and listless: "I know... but I have to hurry. When I get back, I'll ask my mother to think of a solution too. In a month's time, I'll go to the temple to wait."

  "How is it still a month..." Chu Ke muttered: "Okay, after a month, I'll go to the temple... don't be angry."

  Zhu Yichan let out a long sigh, this time pulling her into his arms, holding her tightly and not letting go. He didn't speak, just held her tightly, his lips brushing against the nape of her neck, smelling the unique fragrance on her body.

  Darkness emboldened Chu Xue's courage, for she thought that Zhu Yuchen was just angry, and also because she didn't want to part with him, and also...she liked him so much. She reached out and hugged him tightly too...

  The two of them hugged for a long, long time until the sound of drums echoed from afar again, reminding them that it was really late. Chu Xue first let go and called out softly: "Hui Zhen? I really have to go back..."

  Zhu Yichan sighed and also let go of her hand, reaching out to touch her face reluctantly, saying in a low voice: "Mm, go back."

  Chu Xue didn't dare to delay any longer, so she quickly went to knock on the door. She knocked twice, then turned her head to look at the corner of the wall. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, but she knew he was there watching over her. She smiled slightly in that direction and softly called out: "Yue Chen..."

  Under the dim light, her face was as white as jade, her black hair dancing in the wind, the emotions in her eyes were clear even in the dark of night, shining brightly at him. Zhu Yuchen's heart was filled to the brim, joy rolling back and forth in his chest. Although there was a hint of melancholy of parting, he was overwhelmed with a sense of happiness, staring blankly at her...

  "Who's there? Who is knocking on the door at this late hour?"

  "It's me, opening the door quickly" Chu Ke replied with a sound. (If you like this work, welcome to subscribe and reward on Starting Point Mobile Web, your support is my greatest motivation.)
