Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Balbu was a little surprised to see Zhou Xinyue looking slightly stunned.

"What's wrong? Did you forget something? Why are you in a daze?"

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly shook her head and said, "Oh, no. In that case, please take me back to my residence. I also want to rest early."

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing him turn around and leave so readily, Zhou Xinyue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

It turned out that he really just wanted to bring her here to see this visual feast. It seems that I was overthinking. I thought that this man and woman alone together late at night would inevitably make people think wildly, but I didn't expect that he really brought her here just to see this starlight.

Moreover, the starlight was really beautiful and amazing, and it unexpectedly evoked her homesickness and longing for her loved ones.

It seems that this city lord is not as bad, boring, and vulgar as I imagined. Unconsciously, my opinion of him has changed a little.

Just as Zhou Xinyue's mouth curled up and she was daydreaming, she was hooked by a stone under her feet because she didn't look carefully at the road, and she fell forward out of habit.

"Ah!" Zhou Xinyue couldn't help but screamed out.

Unexpectedly, Balbu, who was walking in front, heard the sound and subconsciously turned around to catch Zhou Xinyue who was rushing forward.

Zhou Xinyue fell deeply into his arms.

Balbu hugged her really hard.

Balbu hugged Zhou Xinyue, who almost fell down, and dared not move, not knowing why.

The body fragrance emanating from Zhou Xinyue in his arms made Balbu's heart pound. He was extremely nervous. He hadn't felt this way in many years.

Zhou Xinyue was also stunned. Such an embrace made her feel so safe, and the smell on his body made her feel very solid and at ease.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

Balbu reacted quickly, straightened her up, and said with a smile: "Some people don't walk carefully. Luckily I was walking in front, otherwise your two front teeth would have been knocked out."

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly sorted out her feelings, straightened her clothes, and said, "What a pity, who asked you to walk in front of me, just in time to protect my two front teeth, so I have to thank you."

Balbu continued jokingly, "So how are you going to thank me?"

"How else can I thank you? Of course, you should go to bed early tonight and get enough rest. Tomorrow, I will make your grandma's favorite cakes and make her happy. Let her enjoy this birthday gift."

When talking about his grandma, Balbu immediately became serious and said, "That's right. It's true. If you make my grandma happy, I will be happy too. Come on, I will take you home now and you can have a rest early. But now I just want to hold your hand."

Zhou Xinyue's nerves collapsed again and she asked, "What do you want to do?"

Balbu immediately understood Zhou Xinyue's worries and said helplessly, "What can I do? Of course I'm holding your hand to prevent you from falling or bumping into something by accident. I'm afraid you'll hurt your hand and I won't be able to make my grandma's favorite snacks tomorrow, which will ruin her mood."

When Zhou Xinyue heard this, she immediately felt at peace.

"That makes sense. Once I leave the Garden of Stars, it's pitch dark and I won't be able to find the way. If I fall and hurt my hand, it will definitely affect my pastry making."

"So, come on, hold my hand, and let's go back and rest."

Zhou Xinyue could feel the big hand that Balbu was extending to her.

Zhou Xinyue curled her lips and stretched out her left hand helplessly.

In an instant, I was led by a warm big hand and slowly walked forward.

The warmth from the palm of my hand seemed to bring a little warmth in this deep and dewy night.

I don’t know if it’s because she hasn’t felt someone’s care for her for a long time, or hadn’t had a man hold her hand like this, but Zhou Xinyue’s heart was beating like a deer. She had an indescribable feeling, an indescribable excitement that was hard to describe.

Just like that, holding hands, they gradually walked from the dark area to the garden with street lights.

Some palace maids and guards on duty along the way saw this and hurriedly bowed.

The guards and palace maids saw it and some of them glanced at Zhou Xinyue secretly.

Balbu is a well-known playboy. This is not the first time that he has walked around the garden with a beautiful woman in the middle of the night.

Some old palace maids and guards who had stayed in the palace for a long time saw it and were not surprised.

Zhou Xinyue could also feel the various strange looks cast at her in this garden from time to time.

"There are people everywhere, and there are candles and night lights everywhere. I can see the road now, so why don't you let go of my hand first?"

"What? You want to dump me after you've used me?"

"Why are you saying such harsh things? You just held my hand and walked a short distance in the dark. How can you say you are taking advantage of me? It's incomprehensible."

"What? Wasn't what I said wrong? I held your hand and protected you for such a long time, but now you want to throw me away. Isn't this taking advantage of me?"

Zhou Xinyue was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, just hold my hand and walk away. I don't want to argue with you anymore. I can't win against you. You win, you win."

"hey-hey."

Unexpectedly, Balbu in front of her was so happy when he heard her say this.

He couldn't help but let out a chuckle, just like a little kid. Zhou Xinyue instantly discovered something different about him.

"Childish." Zhou Xinyue couldn't help but mutter.

I walked for a long time without realizing it and finally arrived at the place where Zhou Xinyue would rest tonight.

This courtyard is different from the one she lived in before. This courtyard is the courtyard next to his grandmother's courtyard.

Standing at the gate, Balbu turned around and looked at her and said seriously, "You've worked hard today. This small courtyard is very close to my grandmother's courtyard and the big kitchen. The birthday ceremony will begin tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You should have a good rest tonight. If there is anything that needs to be purchased, please ask someone to tell me. If you feel uncomfortable, please ask someone to tell me. If you need anything to make cakes, please ask someone to tell me. I will buy it for you immediately. Don't worry."

"Okay, I understand. If I need anything, I will definitely ask someone to tell you, don't worry."

When Balbu heard her say this, he was particularly happy.

"Well, go in. I'll take you here and watch you go in. Also, I want to tell you that tonight is the happiest night I've ever had. Okay, go in."
