Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Yaowei’s fair face was dyed with a touching blush. She was so shy that she didn’t dare to look into Huo Junhan’s eyes. She leaned her head into his arms.
“I like it…”
A smile appeared in Huo Junhan’s eyes. After drinking the rest of the medicine in one gulp, he carried Shen Yaowei back to her room.
After being stuffed under the blanket, Shen Yaowei’s small hand reached out from the blanket indignantly and grabbed Huo Junhan’s hand. “Junhan, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make the food like that. 1 even caused you and me to have a stomachache…”
In the end, Shen Yaowei wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Huo Junhan didn’t mind at all. His gaze gently landed on Shen Yaowei’s guilty face. “Why are you suddenly free to cook today?”
Only then did Shen Yaowei look at him and say softly, “After I returned from the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, I kept feeling that you were a little unhappy, so I wanted to make you happy.”
However, she didn’t expect her culinary skills to be so bad. In the end, she still messed up.
Huo Junhan’s gaze wavered for a moment. The change in his emotions was fleeting. He covered Shen Yaowei with the blanket again. “Yaoyao, you’re thinking too much. Don’t think too much. Rest early.”
Seeing that Huo Junhan didn’t want to dwell on this topic, Shen Yaowei simply grabbed his hand and said, “Then can you stay here with me for a while?”
Meeting Shen Yaowei’s clear gaze, Huo Junhan couldn’t refuse, so he nodded and sat by her bed.
Shen Yaowei smiled sweetly and grabbed Huo Junhan’s hand happily. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Time passed quickly. That night, at midnight.
On the usually silent long street, the sound of opera suddenly sounded.
The mellow erhu and the sound of the pipa complemented each other, and the sad tune blended into one. In the dark night, it looked especially desolate, like a cold wind blowing past, making a few homeless people leaning against the corner of the roadside wall frequently crane their heads to look forward.
Lai Qi, who was the shortest among them, curled up into a ball. He was sleeping soundly in the corner when his companion kicked him. His round body rolled twice on the ground. “How annoying. I was sleeping soundly. Why did you kick me!”
“I kicked you for your own good. The few of us are asking you to get up and listen to the show.” Among the homeless men, Big Head pointed at the stage not far away. “Listen, this singer is really good at singing.”
In the middle of the night, a faint light appeared on the stage not far away. From where they were, they couldn’t see clearly. They could only see the actor waving his snow-white shirt sleeves, as if he was calling them over.
“Yiya…!” The singer’s voice was very desolate and mellow, with a hint of crying mixed in, making Lai Qi shiver.
“Why do I feel so scared? 1 didn’t see anyone putting on a show here during the day. Besides, it’s so dark. Who is this singer putting on a show for?” Lai Qi felt a chill down his spine. He wished he could cover his ears and not listen to the cold singing.
In the end, Big Head slapped the back of his head. “Useless thing, don’t take advantage of me! This singer sings well. She must be a beauty. Anyway, I want to go take a look.”
Chief detective led the way, and the remaining vagrants couldn’t wait.
“Yiya—!”
The singer’s sharp singing voice attacked, and a cold wind blew past the back of Lai Qi’s neck, scaring him so much that he had no choice but to accept his fate and follow..
