Kuai Chuan: Caught again!

Nan Qiao curled her lips and smiled gently.

"Hey... Ouch... I hit someone!" A scream suddenly came from outside the alley. The sound was so loud that it could be heard clearly in the alley.

Shang Ce was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts were pulled back by the voice. Only then did he realize that the two of them had been here for a long time.

Fortunately, no one came over, otherwise the two of them would be really...ahem...indecent.

"Ahem..." He pushed Nan Qiao who was still leaning on him, raised his other hand and made a fist to his lips to cover up a few coughs, "I'm going back first."

"You..." He paused slightly, hesitating.

Shang Ce wanted to ask, "Want to come together?" But he realized that since Nan Qiao hadn't returned to the general's mansion yet, he probably still had things to deal with.

Then he asked another question: "When will you go back?"

"Me?" Nan Qiao followed Shang Ce's movements and withdrew from his arms, but only took a step back. The distance between the two was still very close.

"But I still want to go to the restaurant to eat." There were many people during the day. Although the disciples were mainly there for consultation, she also had to watch the instructions.

After all, she hadn't eaten anything for a whole day. And just now I just bought some snacks, which was not enough to fill my stomach.

"General, do you want to come with me?" Nan Qiao didn't have as many worries as Shang Ce when inviting people, and he spoke directly when he thought of it.

"Didn't you eat?" Shang Ce frowned and immediately grasped the key point.

"Yes." Nan Qiao blinked, deliberately looking pitiful, "I've been hungry all day."

"Then why don't you go back during the day?" How could Shang Ce not see that Nan Qiao was pretending on purpose? He glared at her and said, "Okay, you go to eat, I'm going back."

He raised his legs and started to leave.

When Nan Qiao saw this, he quickly reached out and grabbed Shang Ce: "Hey——"

"I didn't mean not to eat."

"But there are too many people, I can't leave." Nan Qiao took a step closer, hugged Shang Ce's arm, and shook it gently, "You really can't accompany me?"

"General, Shang Ce, A Ce..."

Shang Ce could no longer walk as he originally planned to do. It was obvious that Nan Qiao's grip on him was not strong.

After a moment, he sighed slightly: "...let's go."

Almost the moment he nodded, Nan Qiao had already consciously put her hand into his palm, and even her fingers got into his fingers.

"Let's go then." Nan Qiao smiled sweetly at Shang Ce.

"Yes." Shang Ce responded in a low voice. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still clenched his hands and walked out of the alley with her.

This is not the capital, the environment is more open, there are not so many rules, it's just holding hands, it should be okay.

Moreover - Shang Ce turned his head and looked at Nan Qiao's perfectly contoured profile - she didn't follow any rules in the first place.

What can he do to her?

"By the way, have you eaten?" Nan Qiao suddenly turned to Shang Ce and asked.

She seemed to hear her stomach growling just now, but her own stomach didn't growl, so it could only be Shang Ce.

"...No." Shang Ce's expression paused imperceptibly.

"Ha..." Nan Qiao laughed, "Then you still don't admit it?"

"Admit what?"

"Admit that you miss me." A trace of pride flashed in her eyes, "In order to find me, you don't even bother to eat. Isn't that called missing me?"

Business strategy: “…”

It’s really…

"Whatever you think."

Nan Qiao followed the good example and said, "That means you miss me. This is your acquiescence."

Don't talk about business strategies.

"By the way, it's Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, right?" Within a few seconds, Nan Qiao suddenly changed the topic again.

"Yes."

But why is she asking this?

Shang Ce couldn't help but think of other things.

Mid-Autumn Festival is the day of reunion. Is Nan Qiao going back to Thousand Medicine Valley?

"Isn't there a lantern festival during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Nan Qiao tilted her head, "Aren't you going to accompany me?"

Shang Ce was stunned.

"Okay, then I..." Nan Qiao didn't wait for a response. She thought he was going to refuse, so she had to give up temporarily.

"No..." Shang Ce suddenly interrupted her.

"Huh? What?" Nan Qiao blinked and didn't hear clearly.

"I didn't say no."

*

Busy days always fly by, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is here in the blink of an eye.

In just one day, all kinds of lanterns on the street have been lit up, and all kinds of red, yellow, purple lanterns are dimmed by the candles, giving off various colors of light.

People who had not been seen in the past also came out of their homes and gathered on this street. They were coming and going, and there was a lot of people.

Nan Qiao and Shang Ce squeezed into the crowd and walked slowly forward in the direction of the flow of the crowd.

"You have to hold on to me tighter. If I'm scattered by others, you won't be able to find me." Nan Qiao shook the hands of the two of them and spoke to Shang Ce with a smile.

"Ha..." Shang Ce also laughed and took Nan Qiao to the roadside. There were slightly fewer people there and it was easier to walk. "I will go back by myself if I can't find you."

You are such an old person, how can you still not find a home?

"Then what if I don't go back?" Nan Qiao raised his eyebrows, "What will you do?"

"That... eh!" Shang Ce exclaimed.

The words that had not yet been spoken were instantly interrupted by a "little cannonball" rushing over from nowhere.

There was a heavy weight on the leg, and when I lowered my head, it turned out to be a man who looked to be about four or five years old.

The little girl with two round little buds on her head bumped into her, and her little head hit Shang Ce's thigh with a bang, making a real muffled impact.

Her head couldn't reach her thighs. After the collision, her whole body swayed like a little duck, and then she sat on the ground with a "chirp".

Shang Ce: "..." Where did this child come from?

There were so many people and she was short, so he really didn't notice where this little guy came from.

"Where are your parents?" Shang Ce bent down and asked the little girl sitting on the ground.

"Head...my eyes are numb. Why are there so many stars?" The little girl shook her head vigorously, mumbling, her face was full of confusion, and she couldn't give an answer.

Shang Ce frowned and looked around, but didn't see the adults.

He looked at Nan Qiao, but Nan Qiao just shook his head, saying that he had not seen the child's parents.

Shang Ce glanced down again, his eyebrows tightening even more.

What a hassle.

But there are too many people here, and it is definitely not possible to leave such a small child here. If someone just kicks him, the child will probably be dead.

Shang Ce had no choice but to sigh in his heart. He could only bend down and pick up the child, and then walked to the base of the wall to avoid the crowd.

The little girl was still a little dizzy. She was picked up by Shang Ce and subconsciously hugged his strong arms.

She was probably used to being hugged, so she wasn't afraid. Even though Shang Ce's posture was very awkward because he had not had much contact with children, she didn't resist much and just hugged him tighter.

But the moment she raised her head and saw the plan clearly, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes suddenly became round. She sighed and shouted in an instant:

"Brother, you are so beautiful. Can I marry you as my husband in the future?"

Shang Ce's arm holding her stiffened suddenly: "..."
