Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

Ranmo punched him and told him to stop talking nonsense. Qingsheng stopped talking and said that he was very happy to be with Ayi Li and hoped that everyone would share in the joy.

As the night deepened, everyone ate, drank, and chatted in the pavilion for a while before dispersing, agreeing to meet again later.

As usual, Qingsheng escorted Ranmo home. They chatted casually along the way. Qingsheng didn't mention his sworn brotherhood with Ayi Li. Ranmo was a little puzzled, but he didn't want to bring it up.

The moon in the sky slowly disappeared into the clouds, and the light on the ground became dim.

Qingsheng stopped at the right moment and turned to Ranmo, wanting to hug her.

Ran Mo didn't try to dodge. The two of them embraced each other. Qing Sheng held her tightly. After a moment, he whispered to her, "Mo'er, I have a question for you."

Ran Mo raised her head and looked at him, her eyes sparkling in the darkness.

After a moment's hesitation, Qingsheng said, "Tell me, if someone has been in a certain place for a long time and is very familiar with it, would they move forward and visit another place later?"

Ran Mo pondered, wondering what he was thinking when he asked this question. Could it be that he wanted to live in a different place?

At this moment, the moon peeked out from behind the clouds again, even brighter than before. In the distance, human voices drifted past.

Ran Mo hurriedly slipped out of his arms, fearing that others might see her. Qing Sheng smiled at her and blinked, meaning for her to continue answering the question.

Ran Mo said calmly, "This problem isn't difficult to solve. Just change places based on the actual situation. Just like you often persuaded me to become a lawyer in the capital, didn't you?"

Qingsheng looked at her and nodded slightly, but his face was calm. Ranmo saw this and knew that he must be thinking about something else. So he stopped being mysterious and asked softly:

"Just now in the pavilion, when you saw the jade pendant Ayili gave you, your expression suddenly changed. Why did you return to normal afterward and not ask any further questions?"

Upon hearing this, Qingsheng nodded approvingly and said, "The one who understands me best is Mo'er. You're the only one who can see what's in my mind."

Ran Mo smiled and asked if his previous question was related to this. Qing Sheng said "yes", and then his expression became slightly melancholy again.

Ran Mo walked forward, held his hand, and said caringly: "Whatever you think in your heart, you can tell me, I may be able to help you relieve it."

Qingsheng was touched, his eyes flickering slightly. He said slowly:

"I didn't question Ayi further for a few reasons. The jade pendant she took out is exactly the same as the one I have at home. And according to my father, that jade pendant was the one my mother left behind when she passed away. We each keep one of the two jade pendants."

Ran Mo was very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that this jade pendant would reveal the relationship between the two families.

She wanted to ask something, but stopped herself and waited quietly for Qingsheng to continue.

"You want to ask me why I didn't continue asking Aili about these things?" Qingsheng paused and said,

"This is actually what bothers me the most. If it is really as I guessed, being able to find out the whereabouts of my mother and even becoming siblings with Aili would of course be the best happy event. But the problem is," he didn't say anything else.

Ran Mo could probably guess his true thoughts. If Ayi Li's mother was really the mother that Qing Sheng had run away from, then his goal of finding her could really be achieved.

But there are some disturbing factors here: Why did Aili leave her mother and come to Dayue Kingdom alone? Is her mother safe and sound now? This is definitely what Qingsheng is most concerned about.

She also understood the difficulty Qingsheng faced in making this choice. Although he really wanted to know his mother's whereabouts, if he insisted on asking Ayi about her mother's situation, wouldn't the world be falling on him if he got a bad answer?

Ran Mo looked at Qing Sheng with affection. When their eyes met, they both understood and confirmed each other's thoughts.

Ran Mo breathed a sigh of relief. She needed to enlighten Qing Sheng, so she said, "Brother Sheng, do you know that everything should be left to nature?" Qing Sheng nodded, and Ran Mo continued,

"If there are many things that you feel are inconvenient to ask or not suitable to open the lid for the time being, we can put them aside for now and let time slowly examine and resolve them, okay?"

Qingsheng was a little hesitant. Ranmo pointed at the moon in the sky and said,

"Look, the moon just disappeared behind the clouds. When it reappeared after some time, it was even brighter than before. You never know, some things might have a better outcome after a while. At least we can accept it calmly."

Qingsheng sighed. When he looked up again, he looked much better. He held Ranmo's shoulder and said, "Mo'er, thank you for your guidance. After your advice, I feel much better."

Ran Mo smiled happily and asked, "Do you have an answer to the question you just asked?"

Qingsheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, as you said, I already have the answer to that question in my mind."

"Yes, life is like a journey. When we need to rest, we can stop. When we need to move forward, we can put down our burdens and move forward lightly."

Ranmo's words flowed through Qingsheng's heart like a spring. Qingsheng put his arm around Ranmo's shoulders, and they both cast their gazes toward the bright moon, letting it carry their longing across thousands of miles.
