C20 (1/2)
Tonight, the moon was still cool and refreshing. This was always the case on nights of Yunmeng, but today, Jin Se had a lot of worries in her heart and she was momentarily unable to make sense of the situation.
Jin Se grew lotuses with every step she took, and as she walked, she looked. This time, she didn't even bring Li Luo along.
”Suzhou... Suzhou! ”
When night fell, she unexpectedly thought about Suzhou even more. As a girl, she had never left home for such a long distance before. She did not have any acquaintances about Li Luo by her side, and only had one Li Luo.
Jin Se didn't know when he would be able to go back. Adding to that, the magazine she had secretly locked in the cabinet smelt the scent of ink. The reason why Jin Se had placed this magazine in the bottom of the box was because she had been cautious ever since she was young.
The sound of water splashing could be heard, because it was very quiet at night, the sound of water splashing had added a touch to it, Jin Se just watched quietly.
After Xiao Muzhi sent the osmanthus cake to Jin Se, he went to Qi Yue's study room. Seeing that Qi Yue seemed to be handling official business, Xiao Muzhi thought that Qi Yue had already arrived at the study room, until Xiao Muzhi looked down and saw the Plum Blossom petals that had stuck onto Qi Yue's leather shoes.
”Second Young Master went to visit the garden today?”
A scene appeared in front of Xiao Muzhi's eyes. Jin Se was carrying a star like cherry blossom, and the girl behind him was also doing the same.
”Yes.”
He did not even raise his head as he continued to read his documents. Originally, it was taboo for Xiao Muzhi to casually interrupt Qi Yue when he was engrossed in reading documents.
As a result, he placed his hopes on Jin Se. He had a feeling that Jin Se would perhaps know about it.
”You can leave first!”
Qi Yue knew that Xiao Muzhi was only working for his father, so when Xiao Muzhi was more or less, he was just acting. There was nothing for him to truly care about.
It just so happened that I invited Xiao Muzhi out while he had just violated the rules first. I, Qi Yue, didn't feel that I was being excessive.
Without saying a word, Xiao Muzhi responded and walked out in neat steps. The person he had always been loyal to was the government, not Qi Yue.
Just as she was thinking about how to get information from Jin Se, Jin Se should know. Even if she were to give some details, it might just give Xiao Muzhi some hope.
But the more he thought about it, the more miserable Xiao Muzhi felt. Usually, when he was always with Qi Yue, he would stay close to him for a long time, and as for Qi Yue, if he saw him, they would exchange a few pleasantries.
Xiao Muzhi thought, and then immediately began to move, walking along the corridor all the way to Jin Se's courtyard. He looked at Qi Zhen's window which was shining with light, and also saw a shadow, as if he was holding onto embroidery, in any case, it was quiet all around, so Xiao Muzhi could not help but slow down his pace.
”Adjutant Xiao? How did you get here? ”
Just as Li Luo was about to go out and pour the water in the basin into the bamboo forest, she raised her head and saw the imposing Xiao Muzhi. He stood in front of Li Luo like a soldier, and Li Luo found it funny.
”Why is it just you? Isn't Miss Jin Se here? ”
Xiao Muzhi did not reply to that. He stretched his head out and looked around, and sure enough, the room was empty.
