Su Xiaoxiao left the pharmacy, packed her first aid kit bag, and prepared to return back to sleep.  

Suddenly, a cold presence approached gently.  

She felt for the three children sleeping near her while drawing out the dagger from beneath the mattress with her other hand.  

The moment the figure drew near, she thrust the blade forward!  

Her movements were so swift that the edge was already at the opponent’s throat in an instant.  

Swish!

The figure sidestepped, and a strong, firm hand clamped down on her wrist.  

“Do you want to murder your own husband?”  

A familiar voice rang out. 

Su Xiaoxiao paused in slight surprise, blinking as she recognized his scent.  

“It’s you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”  

Wei Ting released her wrist.  

This girl moved very quickly. If he had been an ordinary assassin, she would have already skinned him alive.

However, when he noticed that she was using the dagger he had given her, his expression softened with satisfaction.  

The dagger passed down to him by his grandfather was named Zhulong*, perfect for surprise attacks.  

*Zhulong is the name of a deity in ancient mythology. Legend has it that he can illuminate the world by opening his eyes (some say that he rides the sun, holds a candle or pearl in his mouth). This name can also refer to the sun.  

“Just came to see… the kids.” 

Wei Ting said without batting an eye.  

As Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could make out his features in the dim light.  

“Weren’t you under house arrest?” She asked.  

“Who said that?” Wei Ting retorted. 

“Xiao Hei*.”

*Xiao Hei is Little Blackie, like a pet’s name. 

“Who’s Xiao Hei?”

After asking, Wei Ting realized exactly which reckless soul she was referring to.

Very well, Yuchi Xiu. You’re done for. 

Dare to make Wei Ting lose his dignity in front of his wife, Yuchi Xiu’s head was no longer securely attached to his shoulders.

“Are you going to sleep?” 

Wei Ting asked, noticing the neatly laid-out bedding.

It was earlier than usual.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Well, you and Dad aren’t here. Ergou, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu have all gone to school and need to get up early, so naturally, they have to sleep early at night.”

“Then, you should rest first.”

“I’m not really tired right now.”

Wei Ting paused.

Fine, Yuchi Xiu’s worthless head could be spared for now. 

…… 

The capital’s night was vibrant and bustling.

Even after Haishi*, the streets were still filled with a constant flow of traffic and lively chatter. 

*Haishi : around 9 – 11 pm  

This level of excitement was unparalleled in the countryside or small towns.

Su Xiaoxiao had never been particularly fond of crowds, but she now treasured such vivid, worldly sights.

“Zhuangyuan Street appears more lively than usual today,” she observed, scanning around.

Wei Ting looked at the endless stream of people. 

“There’s a small lantern festival up ahead.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is there a special occasion? Why is there a lantern festival?”

Wei Ting replied, “Let’s go and see for ourselves, then we will know.”

The capital was changing rapidly, and after being away for a year, some things were indeed unfamiliar to him.

The two made their way to the eastern end of Zhuangyuan Street.

It turned out that a poetry association was hosting a gathering to connect through verse, such as composing poems, reciting poetry, and solving lantern riddles. Participants in those would receive a beautiful lantern.

The event was crowded with participants, and even more spectators, creating a bustling and packed scene.

A man jostled toward Su Xiaoxiao.

Wei Ting raised his arm, blocking the man’s path.

The motion made it seem as though he had pulled her into an embrace.

After pushing the man aside, he switched positions with her, shielding her from the waves of the crowd.

No matter how many people bumped into him, he stood firm as a mountain. 

No one knew that the youngest son of the Wei family, who actually detested being close to strangers, would one day allow people to crash into him.

“Is there any lantern you like?” 

He asked Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was accustomed to Wei Ting’s sharp, confrontational dynamic with her. 

His sudden gentle tone made her scratch her head in confusion.

“What are you up to?”
