Lu Jiuqing didn't want to reminisce about the past with Yingyue, so he just said a few words casually, and then asked someone to help him pack his things.

Mo Xiao sat next to Lu Jiuqing. Seeing that everything was almost packed, he still couldn't bear to leave it and started to look for words.

"Ning Ning should stay in the palace. He has homework to do every day. You can visit him at any time when you miss him. I will give you a badge to enter and leave the palace freely."

Lu Jiuqing hummed, very obediently.

Mo Xiao rubbed his knees and said, "If you want Ning Ning to come out of the palace to accompany you, that's fine. You can send someone to tell her, and I will have Ning Ning sent out."

Lu Jiuqing looked up at Mo Xiao this time and hummed again.

Mo Xiao opened his mouth, but suddenly couldn't find anything to say.

Apart from Ning Ning, there seemed to be no other topics of conversation between them, which made Mo Xiao very anxious.

It shouldn't be like this.

When Mo Xiao was very young, he often ran to the Lin family. He had seen how his master and his wife got along. In his impression, no matter how fierce the master was in front of outsiders, he smiled harmlessly when he saw his wife. The master's wife is the kind of gentle and lively girl who always smiles when she sees the master, but the way she looks at the master is different. As long as the master is around, the master's wife can no longer see anyone else. Moreover, there seemed to be endless topics to talk about between them, and there was never any silence between them.

The people who truly love each other are not like him and Lu Jiuqing.

Mo Xiao was sad and anxious. He didn't know how to change this situation.

Mo Xiao turned to look at Lu Jiuqing, but couldn't help it anymore, and said softly: "Qingqing, I am sincere to you, and I will treat you well. Can you not leave?"

Lu Jiuqing was stunned, and his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic.

She and Mo Xiao looked at each other for a moment, pursed their lips, and said softly: "I, I just want to go back and have a look. You are surrounded by your people. Are you still afraid of me leaving?"

Mo Xiao smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid."

Even if I really build a cage for you and tie you with chains, I will still feel scared. A cage cannot contain a person who is determined to fly away.

Mo Xiao's words "I'm afraid" instantly broke Lu Jiuqing's guard.

She choked for a moment and looked at Mo Xiao intently for a long time, then stood up and walked to Mo Xiao's side.

Mo Xiao was startled and stood up as if he had done something wrong. He asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Lu Jiuqing took a deep breath, took a step forward, put his arms around Mo Xiao's waist, and leaned lightly into Mo Xiao's arms.

Mo Xiao's body instantly straightened up, as stiff as a wooden board.

He didn't dare to move or breathe, for fear of waking Lu Jiuqing.

This was the first time that Lu Jiuqing took the initiative to approach him, touch him, and hug him.

Mo Xiao's eyes turned red in a hopeless manner, and he couldn't help but think: Could this be his dream?

Lu Jiuqing leaned quietly in Mo Xiao's arms. In her ears, she could hear Mo Xiao's irregular heartbeat, bang bang... one after another, very powerful.

"Don't be afraid," Lu Jiuqing said in a very soft voice, "I just want to go back and have a look, not leave."

After a pause, he said in a vague voice: "Also, you can trust me a little more and give me a little more time. I am seriously considering things between us. This time I go out... I will think about it carefully. I can’t stay calm around you.”
