Otherwise, he wouldn’t have invested so much time and effort to gain this guy’s trust.
Fate is so strange. Eventually, he and Meng Qing became close friends. This time, whatever Meng Qing had truly decided to do, he would support him to the end. Thinking of this, Lin Bai’s mouth curved into a helpless smile: “Alright, I’ll take you there.”
“Good, take me to the second day after Zou Chengxiang’s grandson’s full moon celebration.”

Yu Yi sat in the octagonal pavilion, staring blankly at the jade dragonfly in her hand.
Last night, after washing up and returning to her bedroom with half-dried hair, she saw the jade dragonfly on the table. At first, she thought he was in her room. The first thing she did was not to scream or run away, but to turn and close the bedroom door, leaving Spring Swallow and Moon Peach outside.
When she turned back, she realized the room was actually empty, with only herself inside. She went to the window and looked outside, confirming he wasn’t nearby, and understood that he had quietly come to leave this jade dragonfly as a farewell.
He probably wasn’t from Longdu. Although she had participated in various social banquets and gatherings of noble women in the past two years, many high-profile marriages were discussed during these gatherings. These events were enough for a young lady like her to understand the social networks of the capital.
Indeed, when she pressed the second wing of the dragonfly, she didn’t hear his original recording. There were only two short words: “Goodbye.” She tried to turn the dragonfly’s tail and found that all the pictures were gone.
That night, her thoughts were turbulent, and she barely slept. In the morning, she didn’t want to do anything. When Spring Swallow suggested she go out for a walk, she found herself in this pavilion.
She sent Spring Swallow and Moon Peach away and repeatedly listened to the recording by pressing the dragonfly’s wings.
