After staying in Jiangnan for a few days, the two of them felt that the local customs and traditions here were completely different from those in the capital city.
Because it was a market fair and the sun was high in the sky, the two of them had a discussion and decided to go out in the evening. Since the disturbance a few days ago, Ke Yuehua seemed to be extremely angry, and actually did not permit Shi Jinchen to enter even half a step into her room.
So in the period of time he was in the inn, he naturally racked his brains and grinded his brains to make sure that he was alright, which was why his Ke Yuehua had finally loosened up and allowed him to enter.
As time passed, night gradually descended but the streets were still bustling with activity. The hawkers' shouts mixed with the teasing of the men and women added a few traces of charm to this silent night. The Ke Yuehua and the Shi Jinchen were slowly walking together.
In his career as an assassin in the Ke Yuehua, he had once seen such a noisy and lively scene. It was just that at that time, all he wanted to do was complete the mission. Now that he saw this sight once more, his state of mind was completely different. He felt that everything was new and interesting. But although she thought this, she didn't reveal it on the surface. Therefore, when she turned her head to look at Yun Che, she discovered that the woman beside her still had a cold face, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Ke Yuehua sensed the gazes from his side and could not help but turn his head. The man in front of him did not change much from the first time he saw him, if anything, it was the way he looked at him.
He remembered the first time they met, this person had looked at him with suspicion and hatred, and after that, his experience with him was filled with danger, and he had almost been forced to give up to the demon by him. Thinking about that, Ke Yuehua's face turned cold, if he had not lost his memories at that time, then he would have made those beasts beg for death, how could Shi Jinchen humiliate him like this? And then when they met the crown prince, they were plotted against repeatedly by him. He clearly knew that staying by the side of Fourth Prince was too dangerous, yet he didn't choose to leave in the new town.
And that indenture contract, had also been torn apart by the Shi Jinchen afterwards …
Thinking about that, Ke Yuehua looked at the handsome and tall man beside him. What kind of feelings did he have for him?
Shi Jinchen, however, did not know what Ke Yuehua was thinking. Seeing the lanterns being sold, he pulled Xiao Sui and ran over, while Ke Yuehua ran together with Shi Jinchen in a daze. Why are you so excited?
On the other side, Shi Jinchen had already bought two things: two river lamps. The Ke Yuehua looked inexplicably at the excited Shi Jinchen. What is this?
"Xiao Sui, let's go to the river side and put out the lamp!" As Shi Jinchen spoke, he passed a red river lamp to Ke Yuehua.
"To the river? "Why?" Ke Yuehua stared at the exquisite river lamp in her hands. This was a lamp that she had never seen before, so originally, could a flower lamp be placed in a river?
There were already quite a few people gathered by the clear river. There were men and women, but they were all in pairs.
"Xiao Sui, as long as you are the same as me, make a silent wish in your heart, and then release the river lamp out." His face was handsome and gentle, and in addition to the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, it was actually able to cause Yue Hua to become somewhat entranced. How could this Fourth Prince be so good-looking? His smile was so sweet, so this wish must have come from the bottom of his heart. Was it related to the people he cared about?
She knew that in the past, Shi Jinchen had always secretly loved this woman. Perhaps now, even though she was still in love with her, when she lost her memories, she would often see Shi Jinchen taking out that scented bag to take a look at the thought people. What about him now? Did he still have the bag?
This was a feeling that she had never experienced before in her life. She felt sweet for the eyes that Shi Jinchen looked at her lovingly, and bitter for his love for Bai Yu as well as the many years of protection. This kind of sour, sweet, and happy interaction made her incomparably nervous, just like how she couldn't guess what he was thinking when she looked at this man putting on the river lamp.
What was he thinking now? Is that me? Or …
She held the lamp in her hand, and felt that it was extremely scorching. With her mind in such a state, she did not know what wish she had as she hurriedly let the lamp go, and only when it floated further and further away along the river did she suddenly awaken.
What was he doing? The senior brother was still waiting for him to save her, while the senior brother was still waiting for him to take her away. Shi Jinchen was called 'Southern Summoning', and he was merely an assassin who killed without batting an eye. Wake up, you are not the same person as us, if he knew your true identity, would he still look at you with such a deep and loving gaze?
Ke Yuehua had always been clear-headed, but once problems appeared on her body, many doubts would arise. Looking at Shi Jinchen whose back was facing her defensively, she quietly took out a dagger from her sleeve. There were a lot of people here. If he were to be killed in one hit, he could pretend to be drunk and bring him away. No one would doubt that he was not good at assassinations.
Staring at the tall figure behind her, she walked in step by step. However, the dagger in her hand was trembling more and more. Until his Shi Jinchen detected and turned around.
She couldn't do it.
"Xiao Sui!" The girl in front of him had a pale face and was in a trance. Her red clothes made her seem like she was crying blood, but why was her expression so desperate?
"Xiao Sui, are you not feeling well?" Shi Jinchen walked in worriedly. He held onto the woman's hands and felt extremely cold. It was clearly June's weather, so why were their hands so cold?
"Shall we go back?" He gently held the woman's hands and felt regret. Clearly, Xiao Sui was not feeling well today, and she was even forcefully pulling her out, so she must be feeling extremely uncomfortable right now.
"Shi Jinchen." The silent woman suddenly spoke up.
"What's wrong, Xiao Sui?" Shi Jinchen looked at the woman who had her head lowered with a cold expression, and was a little puzzled.
"Do you believe that I will kill you?"
"If you want to kill me, I will definitely kill you first." Then he paused. "And then commit suicide."
"Pfft — —" Ke Yuehua suddenly lifted his hand and wrapped it around the man's neck.
"What's going on?" Shi Jinchen was a little confused, "Xiao Sui, you seem to have changed since you came back, what's going on?"
"Nothing." Ke Yuehua stopped her laughter as her cold and thin eyes gently swept towards the man who was hugging her. Her usually indifferent eyes, however, now suffused a trace of a smile.
"Let's go back."
