Put on my clothes and walked out of the room. Yuanxiao heard my footsteps and woke up from a dream, wobbling over to lick my feet. I held its head and squatted in front of the house, looking at the moon.
Yuanxiao was loyal, abandoning sleep to keep me company under the moonlight. I sighed, “You’re the best.”
After thinking for a moment, it suddenly leaped up and tugged at my skirt, pulling me forward. I followed it to a mulberry tree in the courtyard, where it began digging furiously in the ground.
It dug a small hole and pulled out a buried object, proudly presenting it to me. This time, it wasn’t a dead mouse, but a fish-shaped copper token. Inside the token, two characters were carved in a special curved script: Nan Rui.
Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Secret of An Residence
An Jin’s revenge lasted three hours. When I had finished pouring out my emotions with Yuanxiao under the moonlight and crawled into a thin blanket covered in morning dew, his arm had already reached out, firmly pulling me back into his embrace and covering me.
I thought he was sleepwalking and didn’t dare move. His eyes opened slightly, and he wickedly bit my shoulder like a hungry wolf. “Where did you go? Making me wait so long.”
I pushed him in confusion. “Weren’t you asleep?”
He looked frustrated, tugging at my clothing belt. “Couldn’t you be more aggressive?”
I suddenly understood. He had been pretending all along, waiting for me to take the initiative.
I sighed and said earnestly, “If you want something, you need to say it. How would I know if you don’t speak? I won’t chase after you if you don’t want me, but if you want me, of course I’ll give in—umph!” This beast… didn’t even let me finish speaking!
