Chapter 19: Believe in You
With Mingyue's burden on his chest and Mingyue behind him, Youning's actions were naturally not as neat as before. Fortunately, Mingyue is very light and his body is soft, and he can still do it with him on his back. After jumping from the warm pavilion on the second floor, Youning took advantage of the situation to hide the bodies of the two behind the pillars on the first floor of the Lanyue Building. After standing still, Youning held his breath and poked his head out slightly, carefully observing the hiding places of several secret guards near the main entrance of Lanyue Tower.
The moment she jumped from the upstairs, Mingyue only felt that her heart was startled and beating wildly. If he hadn't been prepared, he would have put his left hand in his mouth beforehand, and Mingyue would have screamed.
It wasn't until Youning finished observing the situation outside and turned his head to look at Mingyue that Mingyue still bit his left hand and never let go. The little face with the big slap was even reddened. The image of the personable and intelligent in the past is gone, and only the pitiful appearance after being frightened remains. Looking at Mingyue's current appearance, You Ning wanted to say to him in person-"Don't bite", but he couldn't speak, he could only turn the agitation in his heart into a long sigh. After sighing, Youning shook off the regret and the slightest bit of depression in his heart, and continued to stare intently at the place where the dark guard was.
Yu Ning's long sigh made Mingyue's spirit come over. The pain from her left hand made Mingyue immediately relieved. Ignoring the pain of her left hand, Mingyue immediately held her heart with both hands, trying to soothe her beating heart. At the moment when she just fell, Mingyue really had a feeling that she was going to die. As for now, in addition to being frightened and heartbeat, Mingyue seems to have a kind of joy of "rebirth after the catastrophe". Even if there is only half a waning moon in the sky outside the building, Mingyue's current mood is still very good.
Looking down, through the sparse moonlight, Mingyue saw a layer of fine sweat on Youning's neck. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask Youning to put himself down, Mingyue only felt a slight pain in his thigh, and the next moment Youning had already rushed out from behind the pillar with him. didn't have time to say anything, Mingyue had to hug Youning's neck and clamp Youning's waist to minimize her presence.
You Ning first ran from behind the pillars to the nearest laurel tree, using the blocking effect of the branches and leaves of the tree to hide his and Mingyue's bodies. After a few breaths, Youning carried Mingyue on his back and quietly ran along the row of trees to the courtyard gate of Lanyue Tower.
There were no trees in front of them to cover their bodies, but the two of them were about two meters away from the courtyard gate. Mingyue felt that Yu Ning's body had become much tighter. At the moment when Mingyue didn't know how to get out of the status quo, Youning pulled out his right hand. In the blink of an eye, there was an additional mass of coldness on his right hand. Moving his arm slightly, Youning threw the thing in his hand into the distance. At the moment when the mass of things smashed on the ground and rolled a few times, You Ning, like a swift blue wolf, led Mingyue out of the courtyard gate of Lanyue Tower and quickly disappeared into the grove outside the door.
A few steps into the woods, You Ning stood still, put Mingyue on the ground, and asked Mingyue about Mingyue's condition with his eyes. After discovering that Mingyue was not unusual, You Ning let out a sigh of relief. Mingyue gave two thumbs up to Youning with excitement on her face. After a little adjustment, the two of them walked very low-key towards the main entrance of Suyue Garden.
When he arrived at the gate of Suyue Garden, Youning showed two pairs of cards, and the doorman looked at the two people and verified the authenticity of the pairs. During this time, a doorman also tried to talk to Youning for a few words. But after he saw You Ning pointing to his mouth and shaking his head, he suddenly realized that this disciple of the master couldn't speak, so he stopped his mouth in embarrassment.
At first, Mingyue was very nervous, afraid that the doorman would recognize him. As the saying goes, "basket weaving, the most important thing is to close the mouth", if you are caught by your family at the main gate, it is a pity. Later, when I thought about it, I rarely went out of Suyue Garden on weekdays, and the little maid in the gatehouse had almost no chance to see his true face. And Youning was able to pass by the main gate with him in such a big way, and he must have inquired about the details of today's guards. So, Mingyue was relieved.
Out of the Moon Garden, Mingyue quickly clenched Yu Ning's arm to suppress the joy in her heart. It wasn't until she followed Youning out of two streets that Mingyue let go of Youning's arm and stopped. Yu Ning looked like he didn't know what was going on, while Mingyue smiled evilly at him. Immediately afterwards, an earth-shattering roar of ghosts and gods came out of Mingyue's mouth - "Ah~".
You Ning didn't know what Mingyue was going to do, but when she found out that Mingyue was shouting, it was too late to stop it. In desperation, You Ning had no choice but to cover Mingyue's mouth and pull Mingyue to hide under the wall in the alley.
Mingyue's roar spread like ripples in the empty streets, startling nearby residents to get up and light the lights and come out to check. After seeing that the street was empty, some silently blew out the lights and closed the door to continue sleeping, while others cursed and muttered a few words before replying. After a while, the whole street regained its tranquility.
When Youning, who had been paying attention to the outside, turned to look at Mingyue, he realized that his hand had been covering Mingyue's lips. In those soft lips, there was no heating like a naughty child's little hand, and there was a pair of them squeezing Youning's palm. You Ning withdrew his hand in a little panic, not very comfortable leaning against the base of the wall.
"It's a pleasure." Mingyue didn't feel anything unusual at all, and was still immersed in the joy of her successful escape.
It happened that the watchman knocked on the pole and passed by the street in front. The two of them were so frightened that they immediately stopped talking, and when they found out that it was a watchman, the two sat on the ground along the wall and laughed in a low voice. After laughing enough, You Ning took the lead in getting up and stretched out his right hand to Mingyue. Mingyue looked at the hand in front of her, which was still very delicate but had many calluses, and looked up at the face of the owner of this hand along her arm. In a moment, Mingyue did not hesitate to put his little hand on Youning's big hand. At this moment, there was only one voice in Mingyue's heart: You Ning, from now on, I will trust you wholeheartedly. I hope that you will live up to my trust in my lifetime.
Pulling up Mingyue, Youning led him and continued to walk towards the hiding place he had prepared in advance. Their carriages and supplies were there, and when they had recuperated a little, they set out again, and endeavor to leave the city at once the gates of the city were opened at dawn. A whole new world is quietly opening its doors to them.
