"A Chong, are you okay?"

Seeing that Gu Yanqing remained silent, Jiang Jiang had to take the initiative to break the awkwardness.

"By the way, they were surrounding you and beating you up just now. Are you okay? Are you injured internally?"

The moonlight tonight was not very bright. Jiang Jiang looked at Gu Yanqing nervously in the moonlight. The first thing she looked at carefully was naturally his face.

Well, fortunately, this face is still so handsome and charming, so Jiang Jiang is relieved.

By the way, check if you have any injuries.

Jiang Jiang reached out and touched Gu Yanqing's chest——

"You're not... hurt, are you?"

Jiang Jiang's voice was a little trembling.

Oh my God, she touched Gu Xiang’s chest muscles, although it was through his clothes.

"I am fine."

At this time, Gu Yanqing finally came to his senses and unnoticeably pulled away Jiang Jiang's little hand that was touching him.

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay." Jiang Jiang nodded, then she suddenly remembered something, her expression changed slightly, and she screamed, "Oh no, my wallet!"

There are still several taels of silver and fifty coins in it!

Jiang Jiang's heart was bleeding.

Her little money...

"Tonight, patrol teams from the Five Cities Military Affairs Department will be maintaining public order in all the major markets. I'll report to the police later."

Gu Yanqing comforted Jiang Jiang: "That gang should have a fixed base. The people from the Five Cities Army will definitely be able to find them and get the money back."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Jiang Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she begin to look around. This place was very secluded and far away from Mingyuefang.

"Are we lost?"

Jiang Jiang habitually pulled Gu Yanqing's sleeve.

"I know the way back, just follow me." Gu Yanqing said, turned around and left.

"Wait for me."

Jiang Jiang quickly caught up with Gu Yanqing.

She was a little confused about this man. She had just "risked her life" to save him, so why didn't he show any reaction at all?

He just asked one question, and then nothing happened?

He is indeed a difficult guy.

Jiang Jiang was complaining in her heart, but she didn't know that Gu Yanqing, who had been walking in front of her and seemed calm, was actually not at peace at the moment.

Ah Chong.

I will protect you.

Gu Yanqing couldn't remember how long it had been since he had heard these words.

When he was young, his parents always protected him very well. At that time, he thought that there would be someone to protect him from the wind and rain throughout his life.

But then...

His home is gone.

He witnessed his father's tragic death and his mother's abuse.

He witnessed one brutal killing after another.

As a young boy, he relied on his initial madness to fight his way out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood and survived with his sister.

He knew it then.

In this life, no one will protect him from the wind and rain, and he can only rely on himself.

In this world, except for his closest relatives, no one would care about his life or death...

**

Not far away, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded, and then countless fireworks bloomed in the air.

"It's fireworks!"

Jiang Jiang beside him excitedly tugged at the corner of Gu Yanqing's clothes, his eyes sparkling, but his expression was a little lost: "It's too far away, I can't see clearly, it's all those thieves' fault!"

Fireworks in this era are still quite beautiful, but they are rarely seen on weekdays. Only during major festivals are fireworks allowed in the capital.

The next time I can watch fireworks I guess I’ll have to wait until New Year’s Eve…

Gu Yanqing, who was standing aside, also raised his face slightly at this time, and the brilliant fireworks in the air were reflected in his eyes.

He gazed at the brilliant fireworks blooming in the distant sky and couldn't help but say, "Although the fireworks are gorgeous, it's a pity that they can only shine for a moment. It's too brief."

It's just fleeting.

"You really don't understand romance." Jiang Jiang curled her lips. "So what if it was just a moment of splendor? At least it was once brilliant and astonished everyone. That's better than anything else."

Gu Yanqing turned and looked at Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang felt a little uneasy when he looked at her——

Did I just say something wrong?

Although she felt guilty, Jiang Jiang still smiled and looked at Gu Yanqing, not showing any sign of being inferior.

"It's time to go back. Your friends won't be able to find you and will be worried."

Gu Yanqing said this and continued to move forward. Jiang Jiang could only quickly keep up.

The two walked for a long time and finally returned to the vicinity of Mingyuefang. There were more and more people around, and the air was filled with the smell of burning fireworks, which was a little pungent, but this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm.

It is obvious that people in this world do not care about this little pollution at all. After all, they live in a fresh world with beautiful mountains and rivers and no haze.

"Ginger ginger!"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.

It was Yun Yue's voice. Jiang Jiang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yun Yue running towards him with her face covered.

"cousin!"

Jiang Jiang waved excitedly at Yun Yue.

"Jiang Jiang, I finally found you. Are you okay?" Yun Yue quickly ran to Jiang Jiang and looked at her nervously.

"I'm fine, I and..."

Jiang Jiang suddenly turned around at this time and realized that Gu Yanqing behind her had disappeared long ago.

This guy runs really fast.

Sure enough, when it comes to guilty conscience, he should be the one feeling the most guilty.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Jiang Jiang's gaze, Yun Yue also looked behind her curiously.

"Nothing." Jiang Jiang smiled.

At this time, two figures followed Yun Yue closely.

"Miss Yun, have you found your cousin?" The man's voice was very gentle.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Jiang was startled——

Who is this person?

The man in front of him was tall and slender, wearing a plain brocade robe. His face, as gentle as jade, had a very comfortable smile, and a hint of nobility could not be concealed between his brows.

This person...

"Miss Jiang Jiang, we meet again."

At this time, another person suddenly spoke, and the voice sounded familiar.

Jiang Jiang then noticed the second person. She was wearing a dark warrior uniform. Although it was men's clothing, one could still tell at a glance that she was a pretty girl.

"Bai Tan'er!"

Jiang Jiang recognized Bai Tan'er at a glance——

By the way, why is she with Yunyue?

Time goes back to two quarters of an hour ago——

After Jiang Jiang ran away after the thief who stole the purse, Gu Yanhuan wanted to ask Liu Cheng'an to help. However, at that time, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the crowd, blocked Liu Cheng'an's way, and even almost knocked Yun Yue down.

"Miss Yun, be careful."

Liu Cheng'an quickly supported Yun Yue.

"Thank you."

Yun Yue thanked him and dodged Liu Cheng'an's hand without leaving a trace. She didn't want to have anything to do with Liu Cheng'an anymore, not to mention...

She knew that Gu Yanhuan liked Liu Chengan.

Yun Yue doesn't like to get involved in this kind of bloody love triangle.

It’s not like all men in this world are dead. There are good men everywhere. Why do you have to keep staring at the man your best friend likes?
