Chapter 915: Chapter 915: Little Yue is Getting Married (For Five Monthly Tickets)

"Speaking of sons," you realized that there was a little tag-along behind your parents, and upon closer inspection, oh, it was Luo Wei, the third child of the Luo family, who had just returned from the Academy.

Luo Cheng had sent Luo Wei to the academy, which, like today’s boarding schools, required students to attend classes for ten days straight before they could return home for a two-day rest.

"Little brother, come here." You had only met Luo Wei twice and though not familiar with him, the bond of blood made the family affection exist nonetheless. Saying so, you waved at Luo Wei.

"Big brother, big brother, the tune you were singing earlier was really nice. I want to sing it for Zhinu and the others after tomorrow when I go to the Academy, then let’s see if they dare to show off in front of me every day."

"Nonsense! They are Your Highnesses, you shouldn’t compete with them out of rivalry!" Luo Cheng glared, and the usually lively Luo Wei immediately became timidly well-behaved, somberly walking behind Meng Family, hiding from Luo Cheng’s gaze, as if afraid Luo Cheng might hit him.

"Alright, alright, it’s just child’s play, what’s the fuss? If the third child truly wants to learn, let the second teach him, it’s always good for children to communicate more." Meng Family hastily made excuses for Luo Wei.

Luo Cheng glanced at Luo Wei, didn’t say much else, but sized you up for a while before his face once again showed a gentle smile, "Hmm, not bad. You’ve improved rapidly over this half-month, it seems your master has put a lot of effort into you. You must respect and honor him more in the future."

"Yes, father."

"Everyone disperse." With a wave of Luo Cheng’s hand, the servants in the courtyard immediately dispersed, each returning to their rooms. Luo Cheng turned to leave, and Meng Family also spoke softly to Zi Yi for a moment before taking Luo Wei away with her.

After everyone had left, you felt the previously harmonious atmosphere suddenly become somewhat awkward; finding no topics to discuss with Zi Yi, you cleared your throat, "Ahem, I think I should also go back to my room to rest. As it’s the transition between spring and summer now, the nights are often chilly with dew. You should take care to stay warm and not catch a cold."

"Mhm." Zi Yi nodded, her tense expression seemed to be hesitating about something.

You glanced at her, then turned to leave but had only taken one step when a fragrant figure suddenly threw herself onto your back and a pair of delicate jade hands clung onto your still somewhat chubby body, a very soft and comforting sensation came from your back. In that instant, you were stunned, unsure of how to react, and simply let Zi Yi hold you, listening to each other’s breathing.

"Ever since I was young, I yearned to meet and know a gentleman like you, but I never dared to hope that I could stay by your side. To have reached this day, I would die without regrets."

Zi Yi’s emotional words once again moved you. You covered her small hands with your own big ones, smiled, and shook your head gently, in a tender voice, "Some say that it takes a hundred glances in a previous life to earn a mere brush past each other in this life. That you and I have this love today must mean that in a previous life we were a couple deeply in love. Perhaps in front of gods and immortals, I prayed thousands of times in my previous life to have this chance today. In this life, I want to doubly cherish and adore you."

The two of you didn’t talk much, nor did you know how long the tender moment lasted— even later, when Little Yue repeatedly asked Cui’er for details, Cui’er could only shake her head in ignorance. All she knew was that Zi Yi returned to her room and fell asleep peacefully, the first time Cui’er had seen Zi Yi fall asleep so quickly, so calmly, so beautifully and charmingly.

The next morning, like usual, you woke up before the sun rose. By that time, Little Yue had already prepared the wash water and breakfast. As usual, you gently patted Little Yue’s head, ate breakfast warmly, and loaded with three hundred pounds, embarked on the arduous path of cultivation.

"Resting door, activate!"

As soon as you left Luo Mansion, taking advantage of the still sparse street crowd, you opened the Resting door and began to run rapidly on the empty streets.

As he passed through West Market, many vendors had already set up their stalls, and you noticed that the stall occupied by that woman for over half a month had suddenly changed owners; the new owner was an older woman selling pastries. You didn’t go over to ask, knowing that this was bound to happen sooner or later, that you and the female stall owner were merely fleeting figures in each other’s lives.

You continued his harsh cultivation until, three days later, when you got up in the morning and suddenly discovered that Little Yue was missing. There was no warm water for washing your face, no tasty breakfast, and no sweet little face or adorable pigtails. You carelessly threw on some clothes and rushed out of the yard, only to see Uncle Ding talking to a few servants. He quickly approached: "Uncle Ding, have you seen Little Yue?"

"Second Young Master, Little Yue has already gone home."

"Gone home? How is that possible? She was still here last night."

"Yes, early this morning, Little Yue’s family came to pick her up." Uncle Ding spoke with an unnatural expression, and you noticed something was amiss, so you pressed on, "Uncle Ding, did something happen at Little Yue’s home?"

"I’m not sure, but she left crying. She also instructed me not to disturb the Second Young Master’s rest. Ah, that girl is usually so well-behaved, but now that she’s returned home, I fear..."

"Fear what?!" You hastily grabbed Uncle Ding’s shoulders, but he reflexively shook you off, and your hands were freed.

"Second Young Master, please don’t be agitated. It was Little Yue’s own choice to return home, and it wasn’t her family forcing her, so it’s not our place to say much. I also made a point of giving her an extra one hundred taels from the treasury."

"Damn it! That little girl, why didn’t she tell me she was going home? No, I have to find her! I’ll reason with her parents, we can just sign a new contract. Uncle Ding, do you know where Little Yue’s family lives?"

"I do know, but..."

"There’s nothing to hesitate about. A true man acts decisively. If we miss today, it will be too late for regrets later!"

"Alright, I’ll take you there."

By the time Uncle Ding and you rode to Little Yue’s house, the shabby courtyard was deserted. Not a single item from the house remained; it seemed they had moved away as a family.

"Bang!" You punched a big hole in the wall of Little Yue’s house, but the anger and regret in your heart only intensified.

"Second Young Master, there is a brocade book here." At that moment, Uncle Ding ran out from a side room holding a letter. You hurriedly opened it, and saw on the slightly yellowed brocade book a few delicate and elegant characters: "The family has relocated to Luoyang; if you wish for Yue’s return, come quickly."

"What does this mean?" The handwriting on the brocade book was definitely not Little Yue’s. Although she could read and write, you had seen her handwriting, and it was certainly not this refined and beautiful.

"Could it be left by her family members?"

"It must have been left by someone in Little Yue’s family, but definitely not an elder." You pondered for a moment and then asked Uncle Ding, "Uncle Ding, how many ways are there to get to Luoyang from here?"
