As people in the Golden Triangle were enjoying the talk of the event, a bounty announcement caused a huge sensation within the Golden Triangle.
The leader of Weiyuan Hall, Zhan Hanyun, had actually posted a notice that read: Seeking a purple-haired girl, your person is with me!
This announcement was like a code, leaving everyone puzzled as to what game Master Zhan was playing, except for one person whose mind raced with electricity!
At the city wall, the crowd was bustling.
Upon hearing about the announcement, Dong Huiying made a special effort to come and take a look, but who knew— "Ouch, miss, don’t squeeze!"
Dong Huiying: "..." It wasn’t on purpose; it was the people coming from behind who were squeezing her.
"What are you joining the excitement for, girl? Hey, you’re really trying hard, standing on tiptoes, huh? Even on your tiptoes, you’re too short to see anything."
Dong Huiying: "..." Was it her fault for being small? So what if you’re tall, does that make you amazing?
Liang Haoming glanced at his young wife and said nothing. He slipped his hands under her armpits and lifted her high up into the air!
Kissing, hugging, and lifting high, did you skip the first two steps?
Her two small legs dangled in the air, unable to touch the ground, but now, even she, with her short stature, could finally get a taste of standing out like a crane among chickens.
She stretched her neck to see ahead and started to feel doubtful after finally seeing the content of the announcement.
Before crossing the river, she had dyed her purple hair black with ink, and although she couldn’t change the color of her eyes, she rarely looked people in the eye directly.
As for "your person," she had come out with Eldest Brother and Lao Si, and now with Lao Si by her side, it must be referring to Eldest Brother!
However, the authenticity of this news needed further deliberation.
"Alright, I’ve seen it now!" She patted Lao Si’s hand and signaled for Lao Si to put her down.
Once her feet hit the ground, she was again pushed and shoved by the crowd.
Lao Si quickly reached out his hand and gently wrapped around her small body, shielding her from the press of people around them. Then, he protected her as they walked out of the crowd together.
"It feels like I’ve just escaped to safety!" After rushing out of the crowd, she gasped for breath. The fresh air was wonderful, unlike the various odors in the crowd, which had been quite suffocating.
Lao Si’s eyes darkened as he gazed at her slightly parted lips and suddenly had an urge... but no, this was not the place for that.
In the end, he raised his hand and ruffled her hair, using some force, yet not enough to hurt her, only enough to make her long hair look like a messy bird’s nest.
She hugged her head with a dazed expression: "What are you doing?"
Lao Si had already withdrawn his hand, lightly pinching his fingertips.
For some reason, every time he saw her, she reminded him of a small animal, like a kitten or a puppy. Sometimes, her innocent eyes looked like a rabbit’s, and sometimes, when she showed her claws and teeth, she resembled a feral cat... He remembered how she had trailed around his second brother during the New Year, bustling about like a little puppy.
Dong Huiying combed her hair back into order, then inexplicably gave him a glance. He didn’t bother to explain, content to let her look, to look wherever she wanted.
After all, his entire being belonged to her!
Eventually, the two of them entered a small restaurant, ordered a dish, Scrambled Eggs with Tomato, and started eating with bowls of rice. During the meal, they also began to share their thoughts, discussing the matter of the announcement at the city wall.
Of course, most of the discussion was one-sided, with her speaking and him listening. Given his reticent nature, the occasional "hmm," "ah," or "oh" was already quite accommodating.
