After leaving Nan Xun, Mu Qing said, “Jiuan, come walk with me for a while.”

“…Okay.” Xing Jiuan followed Mu Qing.

They had driven two cars over. Ou Qi and Lu Mingxi sat in another car.

“Why is Jiuan acting so strangely today?” Ou Qi was still puzzled.

Lu Mingxi remained silent.

Xing Jiuan followed Mu Qing into the car and sat in the front passenger seat.

“Are you in a bad mood?” Mu Qing asked.

“Yeah.”

“What’s wrong? Can you tell me about it?”

Mu Qing was still as gentle as before when he faced Xing Jiuan.

He no longer had the cold and distant look he had two years from now.

“I think I’ve been very willful and am always causing trouble for you.”

“Why do you think that way?”

“I just feel that I’m not very obedient and…”

Mu Qing took the hat from Xing Jiuan’s hands and put it on for her. He even let out a sigh.

Xing Jiuan fell silent.

“Jiuan, don’t overthink this. You haven’t been disobedient, and you haven’t caused me any trouble.” His voice was gentle but firm.

He had watched Xing Jiuan grow up.

The little girl had left her master before she reached adulthood and followed him.

He never dared to be careless when he took care of people.

Because he liked her too much.

When he was still a young boy, there was a young girl who had two crooked braids tied by her master. She always followed him and called him “Senior Brother.”

Master had taken in many disciples, but Xing Jiuan had been picked up by him.
