I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

Under the arched bridge, crystal-clear river water flows gently by.

The usual hustle and bustle had vanished, and the sound of flowing water became even clearer, like a melodious ancient melody echoing in the air.

Xiao Mingyan stood quietly by the river, his posture as upright as a pine tree. His figure, with his hands behind his back, appeared even taller and more majestic in the moonlight.

A gentle breeze lifted his clothes, but it seemed unable to stir his calm and composed heart; he remained unmoved.

Not far from him, Cang Xu silently held up a torch, keeping watch. The master and servant remained silent, maintaining a tacit understanding.

Zhu Luo slowly approached.

Her appearance was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the tranquil atmosphere.

"Your Highness, you haven't rested yet?" Zhu Luo said, unconsciously pulling his sleeves tighter.

The wind by the river was really strong, and she had left in such a hurry that her clothes looked rather thin.

Xiao Mingyan didn't even glance at her, letting out a cold snort: "Changing your tune so quickly?"

Zhu Luo was taken aback at first, then seemed to suddenly realize something and said, "Change your address? Change what address? Oh! I understand, you mean... you want me to continue calling you 'Young Master' like I did at the dinner table? That won't do. At the dinner table, it was just a joke. Once we leave Lin Yue Pavilion, how can we be so presumptuous?"

"Then what if I say the banquet isn't over yet?" Xiao Mingyan suddenly turned around, his gaze carrying an air of authority and unquestionable authority, and even a hint of anger could be faintly detected within it.

Zhu Luo was momentarily at a loss, and subconsciously cast a pleading look at Cang Xu beside her.

Cang Xu nodded slightly and said softly, "His Highness has been waiting for Miss Shen at Lin Yue Pavilion."

Zhu Luo's mouth dropped open.

Xiao Mingyan glared at Cang Xu: "You talk too much nonsense!"

Cang Xu hurriedly lowered his head.

Zhu Luo pointed incredulously to the Lin Yue Pavilion at the other end of the street: "Your Highness...Young Master, have you been waiting for me all this time?"

Under his angry glare, she changed her mind.

However, she felt that the young master was better than the prince, as he seemed more approachable.

"We can't let this feast go to waste. Since it's so late, we came out to digest our food. I remembered that Miss Shen was busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival preparations, so I came to ask if she'd finished yet."

The letter makes no mention of waiting, yet every word is filled with accusations of waiting for an extended period.

Zhu Luo was stunned. When she looked at Cang Xu again, he lowered his head, as if he would no longer help her.

She cleared her throat and said with an awkward smile, "Young Master, I'm done with my work. Hehe, I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic about the Mid-Autumn Festival. I've been working on it until now, and it's already this late. I thought that since you and His Highness the Crown Prince are meeting, you must have a lot to say, so... I didn't dare to disturb you any longer."

"You don't need to worry about my affairs. Miss Shen is really a busy person. I can tell you've been quite busy."

"No rush, no rush, haha, businessmen always worry about nothing. I just realized there are so many delicious things I haven't tried yet, what a shame, haha." Zhu Luo chuckled dryly.

It seems Xiao Jingchi didn't go back either. Two tables of food and drinks, all for one person, must be quite a lot of pressure.

"Hmph, I've saved them all for you. The people from Lin Yue Pavilion will send them to you tomorrow." Xiao Mingyan glanced at her reaction out of the corner of his eye.

As expected, Zhu Luo clapped his hands and exclaimed, "You saved some for me? Thank you, young master! You are such a kind person!"

Xiao Mingyan frowned: "Good to know."

Another gust of cool wind swept by, and Zhu Luo suddenly shivered.

Xiao Mingyan frowned slightly and gave Cang Xu a look.

Cang Xu understood immediately and handed over the thick cloak on his arm: "Miss Shen."

Zhu Luo was startled and quickly waved his hand to decline, saying, "Absolutely not, young master is still injured, please let young master wear it."

Her gaze fell on Xiao Mingyan's wound.

"Just put it on! Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Mingyan interrupted her impatiently, his voice low and stern, as if suppressing an unnamed rage.

His tone, like the bright moon hanging high overhead, was sometimes obscured by dark clouds, unpredictable and changeable.

"I'll wear it, I'll wear it." Zhu Luo clicked his tongue inwardly and quickly put on the cloak.

Made from the finest white fox fur, once wrapped inside, there wasn't a trace of cold.

She leaned forward, smiling ingratiatingly, "Young master, I'd like to ask you something."

"Ah."

Did you tip again tonight?

Xiao Mingyan drew a circle with his finger, and his small mirror flew out.

Zhu Luo's mirror immediately rushed forward, and the two mirrors circled around each other, clearly displaying canine instincts.

"I just wanted to see if it would accept everything."

"Of course we'll accept them all. Who would turn down a reward? It's so greedy. Have you forgotten about the Xuanming Sword from last time?" She lowered her voice as she said the last few words.

Cang Xu stood not far away, watching his master and the imposter Shen Zhuluo huddle together, their heads almost touching.

Even though he knew his master's temperament, otherwise some misunderstandings might have arisen.

"So, you saw it?" Xiao Mingyan looked down at her, his gaze now filled with scrutiny.

“It’s not just that I saw it, look, it’s right here.” A gap opened in the cloak, and Zhu Luo stretched out her hand, her palm revealing a bamboo dragonfly.

"The wing is missing a corner. I didn't do it. It arrived like this."

It appears to be damaged. The Bureau of Time Travel seems unable to determine the value of the item, so it will be returned to the recipient as is.

After agreeing to accept, the bamboo dragonfly fell out of the mirror.

Another possibility is that this little gadget is worthless and the mirror wouldn't even consider it.

Xiao Mingyan's eyes flickered, and he reached out to catch it, his fingers carefully stroking the bamboo dragonfly's wings: "So, how do you feel?"

"How do you feel?" Zhu Luo asked, puzzled. "Are you asking how I felt receiving it, young master? It's not an expensive gift, and I was indeed relieved. It's a child's toy, isn't it? Why did you give me this, young master?"

Xiao Mingyan stared into her eyes, seemingly wanting to get an answer directly from them: "You don't know?"

Zhu Luo blinked and shook her head.

His gaze was so intense; the bamboo dragonfly must not have been given to her for no reason.

But does she know she can just make things up?

Xiao Mingyan finished his assessment and looked away: "Hmph, I bought it at the market, thinking you could recognize it."

After saying that, he tossed the bamboo dragonfly back into her hand.

Zhu Luo accepted it with a smile, then her eyes widened in realization. "Young master, you're joking! The market is so big, even if I had three heads and six arms, I couldn't possibly recognize all the goods here!"

After saying that, she carefully put the exquisite bamboo dragonfly into her bosom, and then took out another novel toy from her sleeve.

"Young master, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I am deeply grateful for your hospitality! I am also sorry to have troubled you to wait here for so long. To express my gratitude and apology, please accept this fairy wand as a token of my remorse. I hope you will like it."
