Wishful Things

It was the face of a childish boy.

At this time, the little boy stared at him with slightly round eyes, looking at him in disbelief.

And... beside him was Xu Mingyi who was choosing a fan.

Recognizing the boy's identity, Wu Chao coughed lightly.

Xu Mingyi straightened up, followed his gaze, and suddenly met those round eyes, and was almost taken aback.

Xu Mingshi walked towards her with anger on his face.

This posture, as if the candied haws in his hand were not candied haws, but a feather duster.

Afraid of his majesty like an old mother, Xu Mingyi even subconsciously wanted to sneak behind Wu Chao.

"Is this what you said you have business to do?!" Xu Mingshi asked angrily.

Since when is leading a handsome man to visit the Lantern Market a serious matter?

Xu Mingyi immediately asked back: "Didn't you still say that you would practice calligraphy at home tonight?"

"..." Xu Mingshi choked suddenly.

Wu Chao looked at the sky silently.

Is this family living by coaxing each other?

"I'm done!" Xu Mingshi stepped forward and grabbed Xu Mingyi's arm, and said, "Follow me back—"

This unreliable sister is getting more and more difficult to manage!

Xu Mingyi tried to intimidate the boy with his eyes, which said "Don't force me to hit you in front of outsiders".

Xu Mingshi became even angrier.

Just fight, anyway, it's not like I haven't fought before!

Anyway...she couldn't bear to really hurt him!

Seeing this scene, Wu Chao looked at the boy with appreciation.

very nice.

This brother, he likes it very much.

But there is absolutely no reason for the person who had agreed to enjoy the moon with him tonight to be taken away right under his nose.

"Master Xu, can you take a step to speak?" Wu Chao asked.

Xu Mingshi looked at him warily.

But thinking that the other party is the master of the Celestial Eye after all, he walked over with a bit of face.

"I don't know what Wu Shisun wants to say?"

After he goes back tonight, he will definitely tell his grandfather and father about the two sneaking out to visit the Lantern Market!

"I heard Mr. Xu likes Tianmu very much?" Wu Chao asked.

This is what Miss Xu told him. For this reason, he once wondered whether the people in the Zhen Guogong's mansion had too unique preferences - even the preferences were not enough to describe, maybe it would be more appropriate to change it to a hobby.

"...So what?" Xu Mingshi looked at the other party suspiciously.

When he saw the fat bird for the first time, he didn't expect to be so hit-to-heart.

"I'm going back to Ningyang tomorrow."

Xu Mingshi was taken aback.

"Then... the Celestial Eye also wants to go back?"

He admitted that the Celestial Eye was ugly, but he really couldn't do without it.

What's more, Tianmu now likes him the most, once he leaves him, it will be very sad, right?

"It was originally meant to be taken back." Wu Chao glanced at Xu Mingyi who was not far away, and seemed to be pointing: "But it's not impossible to stay—"

Xu Mingshi: ...Does this mean that he wants to exchange his sister?

How did the counterparty come up with such a shameless transaction?

It is absolutely impossible for him to agree!

unless--

"Are you really doing business?"

He is not the kind of person who is unreasonable. If it is really for business, once in a while, he is understandable.

Wu Chao nodded: "After the matter is over, I will personally send Miss Xu back."

"That day—"

"Young Master Xu will take care of you in the future." Wu Chao answered very simply.

Anyway, he originally wanted the ugly bird to stay with Miss Xu as a companion, and it would be more appropriate for one bird to serve two purposes.

Xu Mingshi coughed lightly: "That's easy to say..."

"One more thing, I have to remind Mr. Xu."

"Wu Shisun, please speak."

"Sister Ling and Princess Yufeng are on good terms. Although it's not appropriate to obstruct her, she still needs to pay more attention to what should be paid attention to." Wu Chao said earnestly.

He has already seen that although Mr. Xu is young, he has a good way of managing people.

Xu Mingshi was taken aback.

Wasn't this originally his job?

Seeing the boy's reaction, Wu Chao immediately felt more at ease.

"Then it's settled." He said in a gentle tone, "I will often write to Mr. Xu to ask about the situation of Tianmu."

Are you really asking Tianmu?

Xu Mingshi was silent for a moment.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he suddenly felt that both himself and Tianmu were being used.

Until Wu Chao took him away from Dengshi, the surprise in Xu Mingyi's heart still remained undiminished, and he asked softly, "What trick did you use?"

"I promise to keep Tianmu in the capital."

Xu Mingyi couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Is the Celestial Eye worth only this little?

But soon she realized that it seemed that her family, Mingshi, deserved more sympathy.

Mingshi always felt that Tianmu liked him the most.

But he never thought that he was also the one who fed the most jerky.

However, for this kind of unspeakable emotional entanglement, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and it is inconvenient for others to say more.

Xu Mingyi got into the carriage and told the driver where he was going.

Wu Chao rode a horse and followed the carriage unhurriedly all the way.

After walking like this for about half an hour, I saw the carriage slowly stop.

"You guys wait here." Xu Mingyi told Ah Kui and the coachman, and jumped out of the carriage neatly.

Seeing this, Wu Chao got off his horse.

"Let's go over quietly, don't disturb those two guards." Xu Mingyi walked quickly to his side and whispered to him.

Looking at the city gate not far ahead, Wu Chao finally understood what she meant by "it's still early".

This is to take him up the castle tower...

Don't we have to pick it in the middle of the night?

Xu Mingyi took Wu Chao, and dodged to the inside of the tower on one side with ease.

On the side there is a sloping horse path and stone steps leading up and down. Xu Mingyi stepped on the stone steps and silently waved to Wu Chao behind him, signaling him to follow quickly.

"..." Wu Chao had no choice but to follow suit.

But what I have to say is that this experience of being a thief is quite different from the moon appreciation he originally imagined.

Both of them had good physical strength, and soon climbed to the top of the tower.

The night breeze brushed the corner of his clothes, and when he looked up, he could see the bright moon and stars, as if they were within reach.

"How? Is this trip worthwhile?" Xu Mingyi sat down on a stone bench and said, "This is the best place in Beijing to enjoy the moon."

Wu Chao sat down beside her and asked, "Miss Xu often comes here?"

"When I was very young, my grandfather brought me here. My grandfather often said that because of his irritable temperament, seeing such a beautiful moonlight, one's heart can quickly calm down."

The beautiful scenery and delicious food in this world are good medicine to heal people's hearts.

Wu Chao couldn't help being surprised.

Zhen Guogong took his young granddaughter to sneak up the tower a long time ago?

What this grandfather did was really amazing...impeccable.

"Admiring the moon here is one of the top ten beautiful things in life." Looking up at the bright stars and moon above, Xu Mingyi said with emotion.

Of course, she didn't know what the other nine great things were, but she just said so.

Wu Chao looked at the girl admiring the moon.

The clear moonlight poured down, covering her whole body with a layer of light, as if a fairy in the cloud could not touch it.

He felt that it was clearly the top ten beauties.

Good night.
