Before going to sleep at night, Liu Ji was still angry that his chance to go out had been snatched by Qin Yao.
In his mind, he fantasized about countless scenes of tormenting Qin Yao to soothe the unease in his heart.
However, in the next second, he was happily disproved.
At three in the morning, sounds of movement came from Qin Yao's bedroom as she got up. Liu Ji was too sleepy to open his eyes, feeling like his body was held captive by the bed, only a vague consciousness celebrating the fact that he didn't have to get up at this hour to rush on the road.
The courtyard door opened and was gently closed again.
There was no moon tonight, the darkness outside was so thick that you couldn't see your fingers. Qin Yao lit a torch and hurried towards Lower River Village in the cool early summer morning breeze.
