Xu Congyi adjusted her mood and looked at the watch. It was only three o'clock in the morning. She had just fallen asleep on the sofa. She had maintained the same posture for too long, and the sofa was too soft. She didn't feel it just now, but now when she stood up, she felt like her waist was about to break. She quickly did some stretching exercises and went back to sleep.

What you think about during the day you will dream about at night. All the dreams Xu Congyi had that night were related to Shen Xiao, but fortunately, the dreams that followed were not embarrassing ones.

When she woke up completely, it was already past nine o'clock. Her family would not disturb her sleep, and she also said that there was food in the space and no need to leave any food for her. However, an egg would be left in the pot in the kitchen every day. Although Xu Congyi could buy free-range eggs from the space, maybe it was a psychological effect. She always felt that her own eggs tasted better. She mentioned it inadvertently during a previous chat, and since then, all the eggs in the family were left for her.

Another busy day has passed. Because they are going to the capital tonight, Xu Congyi went back to the house earlier than usual to prepare. Although she has been busy preparing to go to the capital, she knows nothing about the route to the capital. So she set off early so that she can have time in case she is delayed on the road.

After Xu Congyi returned to the house, Xu the Hunter looked at his daughter's closed door with a worried look on his face.

"What are you looking at?" Li Dahua nudged Xu the Hunter with her elbow.

"Alas, I don't know what my daughter is thinking. After she said that that day, there was no further news, and I didn't dare to ask."

"That's right, you don't dare to ask," Li Dahua rolled her eyes at Xu the Hunter, "Don't worry about Yi Yi's love affairs. The child has her own ideas. We don't need to worry about her." Li Dahua has faith in her daughter and that she is capable of handling her own feelings.

Xu was awakened by Li Dahua's words. He nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his worries and anxieties. He knew that his daughter had grown up and needed to face and solve the problems in life by herself. As a father, he only needed to give support and help to his daughter when she needed it.

Xu Congyi in the room had no idea what her parents outside were thinking. She was preparing for the next night visit to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. She prepared two infrared thermal imagers and miniature flashlights, one for her and one for Shen Xiao. She also spent a lot of money to buy two sets of night clothes. It is said that these are dyed with the blackest pigment in the world, and they can blend into the night at night.

Everything was ready, and Xu Congyi took these things to Shen Xiao's room. Grandpa Shen went to bed early, so even if she came early today, she would not find anything unusual.

Xu Congyi took out his nightgown and handed it to Shen Xiao. "Brother Shen Xiao, put on this set of clothes."

Shen Xiao took the clothes with a puzzled look on his face, and asked in confusion: "Sister Xu, didn't you give me a set of clothes before? Is that set of clothes no longer wearable?"

Xu Congyi smiled and shook his head, gently opened the night suit and showed it to Shen Xiao. Shen Xiao carefully compared the sportswear Xu Congyi gave him the day before and the new night suit. Even in the dim light, he could clearly see that the black color of the night suit was richer and deeper. He tried hard to find the right adjective to describe this black color, and finally could only sigh: "This black color seems to be even darker."

Xu Congyi nodded with satisfaction and explained, "That's right. The black color of this night suit is the darkest black in our country. After wearing it, we will be more concealed in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. In addition, I have prepared this small instrument for you." As she spoke, she took out a delicate small instrument from the package and handed it to Shen Xiao, "You just need to put it in front of your eyes, and you can clearly see the surrounding scenery even in the night. If someone is ambushing in the dark, they can also be captured by this small instrument."

Shen Xiao took the small instrument, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes. He knew the importance of this operation and the possible dangers, but with Xu Congyi's careful preparation and the help of this small instrument, he felt more confident. The two smiled at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and prepared to meet the upcoming challenges.

Xu Congyi took Shen Xiao into the space, and Shen Xiao went to the bathroom to change clothes and facekini as usual. Xu Congyi had never been to the capital, and Shen Xiao only told Xu Congyi the route based on his memory. The two walked for nearly 20 minutes and finally stood in the old house of the Han family.

Xu Congyi looked at the time, it was only ten o'clock in modern time. To be on the safe side, they planned to sneak into the Grand Tutor's Mansion at twelve o'clock. It was Shen Xiao who suggested coming to the old house of the Han family. This house appeared in his dreams many times. After many years, he returned.

The emperor ordered that the old house of the Han family should not be renovated to serve as a warning to others, so the scene after the fire is still preserved. Shen Xiao's eyes swept across the courtyard, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. This old house carried too many memories and pains for him, but he also understood that only by facing the past can he truly move towards the future.

Xu Congyi looked up and was also shocked by the dilapidated and vicissitudes of the old house. She saw traces of fire on the wall, which was pitch black, making people think of the tragic fire that year. The overgrown weeds in the courtyard seemed to tell the loneliness and desolation of this house for many years.

Xu Congyi naturally knew the pain in Shen Xiao's heart, but at this time, she couldn't say anything to comfort him. She just walked closer to Shen Xiao and held his hand. Shen Xiao felt her movement and took the opportunity to hold her hand in return.
