Chapter 38 The charm of honey cake

 As winter turns to spring, Ning Yan has been in Chaifu for several months without realizing it.

Life seemed to have returned to its starting point. With Hongdao's three years of speedrunning experience, it didn't take much effort for him to gain a firm foothold in Mingzhou.

He couldn't recall the content of "He Transformed into the Sky", and he didn't have any money left to engage in other exercises at the moment, so he could only familiarize himself with martial arts first, and at least have more ways to save his life.

Of course, he also took the time to visit Ning Mansion, but the door was closed and he couldn't see little "Ning Yan" at all. He heard from neighbors that the whole family had gone to visit relatives out of town.

Ning Yan looked through the memories of his predecessor and found that such a thing really happened, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

In the past few months, in addition to helping Chai Mingyuan handle business affairs and teaching Chai Erlang to study, he spent most of his time with Chai Ruru.

The relationship between the two has developed by leaps and bounds.

Sometimes he couldn't help but sigh, if only cultivation was as easy as coaxing a girl, then he would have shattered the void long ago.

"Brother Yan, why did you come here!"

Chai Ruru was a little absent-minded during her boxing practice today. She didn't see the man until nightfall, and couldn't help but pout her mouth and complain.

Ning Yan raised the food box in his hand: "It took me a while to prepare some new things."

The girl immediately beamed, trotted into Ning Yan's arms, raised her head and shouted, "Let me see~"

This is the time she looks forward to most every day.

Ning Yan knelt down and unfolded the food boxes layer by layer and introduced them one by one: "This is pea yellow, this is called jujube paste..."

Chai Ruru picked up her chopsticks and took a small piece of each snack, but finally put down her chopsticks and picked up a piece of soft pastry from the bottom of the food box.

Ning Yan was stunned: "Do you still like to eat honey cake?"

Many of the desserts he makes are palace snacks that were only available in his previous life, but I don’t know why Chai Ruru has a special liking for honey cakes.

"Yeah."

Chai Ruru held the honey cake and ate it in small bites, shaking her head happily.

This was the first time she and Brother Yan ate together, and it was a memory exclusive to them.

Although other snacks are also delicious, they cannot be compared with honey cake!

After eating snacks with Chai Ruru, Ning Yan gave her some pointers on some body movements.

Chai Ruru's talent is extraordinary, and it only took a month or two for her to master the mid-level Xuan-level Fuliu Body Technique, and she was able to perform it decently.

Although there is no comparison with someone like him, it is not an exaggeration to praise him for his amazing talent.

After a while.

Ning Yan estimated the time, picked up the empty food box and planned to go home.

"It's getting late, so let's get here first. See you tomorrow."

"Brother Yan, wait!" Before he could leave the school grounds, Chai Ruru chased after him.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Chai Ruru's face turned red, and she twisted her hands behind her back and said coquettishly: "Today is the Lantern Festival, can you go out with me for a walk?"

"It's the Lantern Festival." Ning Yan was startled for a moment, then agreed: "Okay."

It turns out that I have been here for so long, and I still don’t know if I can go back...

But I've settled in since I came here, and life is not bad now.

The two walked from the side courtyard to the front yard and saw everyone in the Chai Mansion gathering in the main hall to chat.

"Dad, Brother Yan and I are going out to play."

"Well, okay."

Chai Mingyuan replied subconsciously, then he looked up and saw his daughter and Ning Yan being intimate. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Ruru is only seven years old. People can't, at least they shouldn't...

No, no, no!

How could a person with such noble moral character as Mr. Ning think of him so dirty!

But Chai Jingyi got excited when he heard that he was going out to play, and his calves moved quickly: "Sir, sister, wait for me!"

Chai Ruru snorted coldly and asked, "Have you finished your homework?"

Chai Jingyi stood there blankly as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes gradually losing their sparkle.

Without the interruption of outsiders, Chai Ruru was like a runaway pony, holding Ning Yan's big hand and running around.

She hasn't been this presumptuous for a long time.

The girl's silvery laughter surrounded her ears, and Ning Yan couldn't help but relax and play along with her.

"Brother Yan, I want to eat this!"

"Buy!"

"Brother Yan, what are they doing? Why aren't they wearing clothes?"

"This is a sumo show."

"What about that one?"

"That one is called a rolling dragon lantern."

……

A long time.

The two tired people sat side by side on the river bank, with a small tiger head lantern they just bought beside them.

Since it is the Lantern Festival, lanterns are naturally put on, and there are also cruise ships performing lantern shows in the canal.

Chai Ruru's mind was not on the lantern show. She swung her little feet and suddenly said, "Brother Yan, can I always rely on you?"

"Of course."

"Then will you marry me?"

Ning Yan turned her head suddenly and widened her eyes: "Do you know what getting married means?"

"Of course I know!" Chai Ruru looked at the moon in the sky and said seriously: "My mother said that if two people get married, they can be together forever."

Ning Yan couldn't help but laugh: "You are still young, it is too far away to think about these things now."

Chai Ruru was a little anxious when she didn't hear the answer she wanted, and said reluctantly: "Then when I grow up, will you come and marry me?"

The word "marriage" may be very heavy for adults, but for children, it is more like some kind of fairy tale.

At this moment, facing the girl's extremely expectant eyes, Ning Yan hesitated again and again, but finally failed to expose the reality and nodded lovingly.

"Yes."

Chai Ruru was so happy that her tail almost lifted up. She couldn't wait to stretch out her little finger and said softly: "Then let's pull the hook. You have to keep your word!"

"Okay."

As the two fingers entangled together, the girl suddenly felt that her heart was sweeter than eating honey cake.

In her mind, the hook is already the most sacred and unbreakable oath.

Just thinking about this, she felt a sense of crisis again.

A good person like Brother Yan will definitely be remembered by many girls...

"Since we have made an agreement, you can't go back on it!" Chai Ruru made two gestures with her small fist and said with a red face: "Otherwise, I, I won't let you go!"

"When I grow up, I may be more powerful than my father. Brother Yan will definitely not be able to beat me."

Ning Yan unknowingly thought of Chai Ruru's heroic appearance in Mingzhou City with her invincible fists ten years later, and agreed deeply: "Indeed, I will still have to rely on Lady Chai to take care of her when the time comes."

"I will grow up soon." Chai Ruru held her little face in her hands, her bright eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she thought: "When we get married, I will eat a lot of honey cakes!"

"I was very busy on my wedding day, so I didn't have time to eat honey cake."

"Then I'll get up and eat the next day."

"How much do you like honey cake!"

……

After watching the lantern show, it’s almost Haishi.

Ning Yan took a long stretch. In his previous life, he often stayed up all night, but now it was only eleven or twelve o'clock, and he was still very energetic.

But there was someone who couldn't hold on any longer, and the girl's fragrant and soft body lay in his arms.

No matter how strong Chai Ruru pretended to be, she was only a seven-year-old child after all. When she was still growing, she would easily get sleepy at some point, so she fell asleep leaning on his shoulder while chatting.

Listening to her lovely breathing, Ning Yan smiled silently, picked up Chai Ruru in one hand, and carried a small tiger-head lantern in the other hand, and walked swaying towards Chai Mansion.

The moonlight is getting darker and pedestrians are in a hurry.

Ning Yan strolled on the street beside the canal, with thousands of lights in front of her and the slowly flowing Mingzhou Canal beside her. It should have been a rare leisurely moment.

But suddenly, he felt uneasy.

Am I too worried...

Ning Yan turned around and looked around, but didn't find anything unusual. After thinking for a while, he turned around and walked towards the night market.

There is no curfew during the Shangyuan Festival, and the night market will be noisy until dawn, with clouds of cars and horses and noisy noise.

Ning Yan covered Chai Ruru's ears, fearing to wake her up, and carefully avoided every pedestrian who passed by.

On the terrace not far ahead, there happened to be a group of people performing acrobatics. They were just dancing with guns and swords, taming animals and breathing fire, etc., but it attracted many tourists to stop and watch.

Ning Yan has always stayed away from this kind of troupe with unknown origins, and has no intention of getting together.

At this moment, the acrobat took a big gulp of kerosene and sprayed it towards the lantern hanging high on the street. Several long tongues of flame instantly lit the lantern, and the wreckage suddenly fell down, sparks flying everywhere, and many stalls around it were lit.

After suffering a disaster, the scene suddenly became extremely chaotic!

Amidst the fire, the tourists who were originally gathered around the terrace were frightened and panicked, crying and running away.

Damn it, is it already so blatant!

Ning Yan took a few steps back. Soon a crowd of people would rush in front of him. He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to turn around and run into a secluded alley.

Ta,ta,ta.

The hustle and bustle was left behind, and the only sound that could be heard in the quiet alley was the sound of shoe soles stepping on the bluestone.

After all, Ning Yan had learned some techniques to make himself lighter. He ran as fast as the wind. He held a half-grown child and ran for a long time without losing any strength. His breath was long and his steps were steady.

He has long been familiar with all the layouts of Mingzhou City, which is even more accurate than navigation. He can clearly tell the destination of the next intersection in different directions, and can also remember the location of every hidden alley.

Even though his route is crooked and he even occasionally looks back for no apparent reason, if you look down from mid-air, you can see that he is rapidly approaching Chai Mansion.

Soon, it will be safe soon!

Ning Yan glanced around with a solemn expression. He knew that after two more blocks, he could turn to the back door of Chai Mansion.

But as he walked, he slowly stopped.

There was no fire ahead, and the dark alley was like an open bag, waiting for him to fall into a trap.

There is actually an ambush here...

Ning Yan let out a breath of turbid air, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had this feeling like a light on my back.

It's murderous.
