It was the face of a boy who still looked childish.
At this time, the little boy's slightly round eyes were staring at him in disbelief.
And...Xu Mingyi, who was choosing a fan next to him.
Recognizing the boy's identity, Wu Chao coughed lightly.
Xu Mingyi straightened up, followed his gaze, and suddenly met those round eyes, and was almost startled.
Xu Mingshi walked towards her with anger on his face.
This posture makes it seem as if the candied haws he is holding is not a candied haws, but a feather duster.
Afraid of his majesty like an old mother, Xu Mingyi even subconsciously wanted to get behind Wu Chao.
"Is this what you said you have business to do?!" Xu Mingshi asked angrily.
When did taking a handsome man around the lantern market become a serious business?
Xu Mingyi immediately asked: "Didn't you also say that you would practice calligraphy at home tonight?"
"..." Xu Mingshi suddenly choked.
Wu Chao stood silently looking at the sky.
Does this family actually live by lying to each other?
"I'm done!" Xu Mingshi stepped forward and took one of Xu Mingyi's arms, saying: "Go back with me -"
This unreliable sister is getting harder and harder to manage!
Xu Mingyi tried to intimidate the boy with his eyes, which clearly said "Don't force me to hit you in front of outsiders."
Xu Mingshi suddenly became even more angry.
Just fight, it’s not like we haven’t fought before!
Anyway...she couldn't bear to really hurt him!
Seeing this scene, Wu Chao looked at the boy with admiration.
very nice.
He likes this younger brother very much.
But there was no reason for the person he had agreed to watch the moon with tonight to be taken away right under his nose.
"Mr. Xu, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Wu Chao asked.
Xu Mingshi looked at him warily.
But thinking that the other party was the master of the Third Eye after all, he still walked over with dignity.
"I wonder if Wu Shisun has anything to say?"
When he goes back tonight, he will definitely tell his grandfather and father about the two sneaking out to visit the lantern market!
"I heard that Mr. Xu is very fond of Tianmu?" Wu Chao asked.
This is what Miss Xu told him. For this reason, he once doubted whether the people in Zhenguo's mansion had too unique preferences - even preferences were not enough to describe them, and it might be more appropriate to describe them as hobbies.
"...So what?" Xu Mingshi looked at the other party suspiciously.
When he saw the fat bird for the first time, he didn't expect that he would be so attached to it.
"I'm going back to Ningyang tomorrow."
Xu Mingshi was stunned when he heard this.
"Then... Tianmu also wants to go back?"
He admitted that the Third Eye was ugly, but he really couldn't live without it.
What's more, the third eye loves him the most now. Once it leaves him, it will definitely be very sad, right?
"Originally, I was going to take them back." Wu Chao glanced at Xu Mingyi who was not far away, and said as if he was pointing out something: "But it doesn't mean that we can't stay -"
Xu Mingshi:...Does this mean he wants to trade his sister?
How did the counterparty come up with such a shameless transaction?
There is no way he would agree!
unless--
"Are you really here to do business?"
He is not that kind of unreasonable person. If he really wants to do business, he can understand it once in a while.
Wu Chao nodded: "After everything is done, I will personally send Miss Xu back."
"That day——"
"I'll have to thank you for taking more care of me in the future." Wu Chao answered simply.
Anyway, he originally wanted the ugly bird to stay with Miss Xu as a companion. It was perfect for him to serve two purposes.
Xu Mingshi coughed lightly: "This is easy to say..."
"There is one more thing that I must remind Mr. Xu."
"Wu Shisun, please speak."
"Your sister has a good relationship with Princess Yufeng. Although it is not appropriate to obstruct her, you still need to pay more attention to the things that should be paid attention to." Wu Chao explained seriously.
He has already seen that although Mr. Xu is young, he has a good way of managing people.
Xu Mingshi was stunned when he heard this.
Isn't this originally his job?
Seeing the boy's reaction, Wu Chao immediately felt more at ease.
"Then it's settled." He said in a gentle tone: "I will write to Mr. Xu from time to time to ask about the situation of the Third Eye."
Is it really asking about the Third Eye?
Xu Mingshi remained silent for a moment.
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but he suddenly felt that both himself and his third eye were being used.
Until Wu Chao took him away from the lantern market, Xu Mingyi was still surprised and asked quietly: "What method did you use?"
"I promise to keep my third eye in the capital."
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but be speechless.
Is the value of the Third Eye only that small?
But soon she realized that the one who deserved more sympathy seemed to be her family Mingshi.
Mingshi always felt that the person Tianmu liked the most was him.
But he never thought that he was also the one who fed the most dried meat.
However, for this kind of unspeakable emotional entanglement, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and it is inconvenient for others to say anything.
Xu Mingyi got on the carriage and told the driver where to go.
Wu Chao rode a horse and followed the carriage leisurely all the way.
After walking like this for about half an hour, I saw the carriage slowly stop.
"You guys wait here." Xu Mingyi told A Kui and the driver, and jumped out of the carriage neatly.
Seeing this, Wu Chao turned over and dismounted.
"Let's go quietly and don't alert the two guards." Xu Mingyi walked quickly to him and whispered to him.
Looking at the city gate not far ahead, Wu Chao finally understood what she meant by "it's still early" before.
This actually means taking him to climb the city tower...
Doesn’t it have to be done in the middle of the night?
Xu Mingyi took Wu Chao and ducked to the inside of one side of the city tower with ease.
There are sloped horse paths and stone steps on its side that lead up and down. Xu Mingyi stepped on the stone steps and silently waved to Wu Chao behind him, gesturing for him to follow quickly.
"..." Wu Chao could only do as he was told.
But what has to be said is that this thief-like experience is quite different from the moon-viewing he originally imagined.
Both of them had good physical strength and quickly climbed to the top of the tower.
The night wind blew at the corners of my clothes, and when I looked up, I could see the bright moon and stars, as if I could reach them at my fingertips.
"How is it? It's a worthwhile trip, isn't it?" Xu Mingyi sat down on a stone bench and said, "This is the best place in Beijing to enjoy the moon."
Wu Chao sat down next to her and asked, "Does Miss Xu come here often?"
"My grandfather took me here when I was very young. My grandfather often said that despite his irritable temper, his heart could quickly calm down when he saw such a beautiful moonlight."
The beautiful scenery and delicious food in this world are all good medicine to heal people's hearts.
Wu Chao couldn't help but be surprised.
Duke Zhen Guo secretly climbed the city tower with his young granddaughter a long time ago?
This grandfather's job is really... impeccable.
"Appreciating the moon here is one of the ten most beautiful things in life." Xu Mingyi said with emotion as he looked up at the bright stars and moon above.
Of course, she didn't know what the other nine beautiful things were, but she just said so casually.
Wu Chao looked at the girl admiring the moon.
The clear moonlight streamed down, covering her whole body with a layer of light, as if the fairy in the clouds could not touch her.
He felt that it was clearly the first of the ten most beautiful things.
