The night was as dark as ink, quietly covering the courtyard. The stars twinkled in the distant sky, like gems inlaid on the black sky.

Chen Jue finished a busy and stressful day at the Dali Temple and returned home dragging his tired body.

As soon as he entered the house, he eagerly searched for Chen Jia's figure in the house. The worry and concern in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.

"Sister, where are you?"

There was a hint of anxiety and a bit of fatigue in Chen Jue's voice.

His steps were a little heavy. A day's hard work left him physically and mentally exhausted, but his longing and worry for Chen Jia made him eager to see her.

Chen Jia walked out of the house slowly. Seeing Chen Jue's tired look, her heart couldn't help but warm up. She quickly quickened her pace to meet him.

Her eyes were full of concern, and she whispered, "Ajue, you're back. I'm here."

Her voice was as gentle as water, as if it could soothe the fatigue in Chen Jue's heart.

Chen Jue immediately walked forward, held Chen Jia's hands tightly with both of his hands, looked her up and down, and the concern in his eyes became more and more intense.

His brows furrowed slightly, and his voice was gentle but a little nervous: "Sister, did you encounter any problems when you went out today? I was always worried about you in Dali Temple."

His eyes wandered across Chen Jia's face, as if trying to find the answer from her expression.

Chen Jia hesitated slightly. She looked at Chen Jue's tired face and couldn't bear to add to his troubles. However, she felt that this matter should not be concealed.

She said slowly: "Ajue, I encountered some trouble on the street today."

Chen Jue's face suddenly became tense. He unconsciously increased the strength of holding Chen Jia's hand, his eyes full of anxiety: "Sister, tell me quickly, what happened?"

Chen Jia told Chen Jue everything about the encounter with the Lin family killer on the street and Wei Lang's rescue. After hearing this, Chen Jue was extremely angry at the evil deeds of the Lin family, and the anger flashed in his eyes like a burning flame; at the same time, he was full of gratitude to Wei Lang, and this gratitude made his eyes a little softer.

"Sister, I'm glad you're okay. Thanks to Wei Lang, I really have to thank him this time."

Chen Jue said sincerely, his eyes always stayed on Chen Jia, as if to confirm again whether she was really safe and sound.

He sighed softly, hugged Chen Jia in his arms, felt her body temperature and breath, and the worry in his heart gradually subsided.

Chen Jia looked at Chen Jue, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Jue, you don't mind Wei Lang saving me, do you?"

There was a hint of tentativeness in her voice. She raised her head slightly and looked into Chen Jue's eyes, trying to find the answer from his expression.

Chen Jue smiled slightly and shook his head gently. He reached out and gently stroked Chen Jia's hair, his movements gentle and loving.

"Sister, why would I mind? Wei Lang was able to protect you at the critical moment, and I can't thank him enough. Besides, I believe that the relationship between you and me will not change because of these things."

Chen Jue's voice was firm and gentle, as if he was telling an eternal oath. He lowered his head and gently kissed Chen Jia on the forehead. The gentle touch filled Chen Jia's heart with warmth and peace of mind.

Chen Jia felt extremely warm and relieved after hearing what Chen Jue said. She raised her head slightly and looked into Chen Jue's eyes, with tears of emotion flashing in her eyes. She knew that Chen Jue was an open-minded and affectionate person, and his understanding and trust made her more determined in her feelings for him.

She leaned lightly in Chen Jue's arms, feeling his warmth and heartbeat, as if at this moment, the whole world only had the two of them.

She put her arms around Chen Jue's waist and rested her head gently on his chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt an incomparable peace and happiness in her heart.

"Sister, you know what? You are the most important person in my life. I was really scared when I heard that you were assassinated today. Fortunately, you are fine. Thank goodness."

"Ajue, you must be careful when you work in the Dali Temple. The Lin family's affairs are becoming more and more complicated. I'm worried that they will harm you."

"Sister, don't worry. I will be careful. I will find out the Lin family's case as soon as possible and make sure they receive the punishment they deserve." He

"Well, I believe you. Jue, you have to remember that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together."

"Sister, with you by my side, I am not afraid of any difficulties."

He gently held Chen Jia's hand, placed it on his chest, and let her feel his heartbeat.

Chen Jia leaned on Chen Jue's shoulder, feeling his warmth and strength. She looked at the stars in the sky and silently prayed for a safe and happy future for them.

"Ajue, do you think we will always be happy like this in the future?"

"Yes, sister. We will always be happy. No matter what happens in the future, we will walk hand in hand together."

As the night deepened, the chill grew stronger. Chen Jue stood up, took off his coat, and gently put it on Chen Jia.

"Sister, it's late, let's go back to the room. Don't catch a cold." His voice was gentle and considerate.

Chen Jia nodded, she stood up, and walked into the house with Chen Jue. The candlelight in the house flickered, warm and soft.

They sat opposite each other and continued to chat about some trivial things in life, with each other's eyes full of love and warmth.

"Ajue, did anything interesting happen to you in Dali Temple today?"

Chen Jia asked with a smile. She wanted to know about Chen Jue’s work and life and share his joys and sorrows.

Chen Jue thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "There was a small incident today. When we were interrogating a suspect, he refused to say anything at first. Later, I found out that he was very interested in calligraphy, so I chatted with him about calligraphy. Unexpectedly, he opened up all of a sudden and even took the initiative to provide some clues." His eyes were full of a sense of accomplishment, as if he was telling about something amazing.

Chen Jia also laughed after hearing this. "You always have a way. But you should also take care of your rest and don't overwork yourself."

"I know, sister. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You too, please take care of your health." He looked at Chen Jia, his heart filled with warmth and happiness.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Jia yawned. She was a little sleepy. Seeing this, Chen Jue quickly got up and helped Chen Jia walk to the bed.

"Sister, you should go to bed early. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow." His voice was gentle and considerate.

Chen Jia nodded, she lay on the bed and looked at Chen Jue. "Jue, you should also go to bed early."

"Sister, go to sleep. I'll watch you sleep."

He sat by the bed, gently holding Chen Jia's hand, watching her gradually fall asleep. His eyes were full of love and tenderness, as if he was guarding a most precious treasure.

After Chen Jia fell asleep, Chen Jue gently let go of her hand and covered her with a blanket. He looked at Chen Jia's peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. He gently kissed Chen Jia on the forehead, then stood up, blew out the candle, and walked out of the room.
