But the two of them eventually went out.

It just took another half hour to dawdle.

The crescent moon had climbed high overhead. The two of them, unusually, didn't drive. They left the hotel and followed a riverbank, without a fixed destination, just going wherever the road took them.

The breeze from the river brushed against Jiang Momo's cheeks, carrying the gentle coolness of the water, washing away all the day's heat.

Xiangcheng is a city that is hot and dry during the day.

When night falls and everything quiets down, one might even feel a desire to stay here permanently.

After all, the wind here is too cold.

In the cool wind, Li Jiuyuan walked ahead, with Jiang Momo following slowly half a step behind him.

She suddenly realized that the two of them had never seemed to have so much free time.

In the past, she was always nervous whenever they met, after all, she had to play another person. Jiang Momo was always tense and also somewhat afraid of Li Jiuyuan.

But right now, she suddenly doesn't want to care about anything anymore.

She didn't care whether she was Jiang Momo or Jiang Weiwei, nor did she care if she would be exposed; she wanted to seize this opportunity to catch her breath.

Then take another quiet look at Li Jiuyuan, or perhaps one more.

In fact, Jiang Momo couldn't explain why she did this. She only knew that she wanted to spend this short moment imprinting Li Jiuyuan's face in her heart.

Just as Jiang Momo was engrossed in watching, Li Jiuyuan suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her.

Their gazes met in the air. Perhaps because the wind was too strong, Jiang Momo had a momentary illusion that Li Jiuyuan's gaze towards her was too wistful.

It seemed to contain a lot of affection, but she couldn't understand it.

I just feel inexplicably sad.

Why does Li Jiuyuan have that expression?

And this is not the first time this has happened.

Too many questions flooded her mind, and Jiang Momo couldn't help but want to continue thinking about them. But just like during the day, the more she thought about it, the more her temples began to ache with a painful, punishing pain.

"Cough cough."

Jiang Momo coughed, her body unsteady, as if she was about to fall to the ground at any moment.

The latter immediately composed himself, quickly walked over to her, and helped her up.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Momo shook her head as she heard the concerned voice beside her.

"It's nothing, I guess I haven't eaten much and my blood sugar is a little low."

Jiang Momo had exhausted herself from last night to today, and only managed to eat a loaf of bread and half a cup of coffee in between. If she didn't eat anything, she felt she might really faint here.

A hint of self-reproach flashed across Li Jiuyuan's face.

He should have noticed this sooner.

But this woman is stupid; she didn't even speak after being hungry all day.

Whether out of self-blame or impatience with Jiang Momo, Li Jiuyuan's expression darkened, and he reached out and grasped Jiang Momo's wrist.

"Ninth Master, what are you doing?"

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Momo had already been pulled forward a few steps by the man.

The other person was walking too fast, and she couldn't keep up, so she could only shout.

"Please slow down!"

Fortunately, this time Li Jiuyuan not only slowed down, but also stopped completely.

Just as Jiang Momo was wondering why this person was being so obedient today, Li Jiuyuan turned around and picked her up in his arms.

Jiang Momo: !

"Isn't this too fast?"

After saying that, Li Jiuyuan carried the person and strode forward.

The wind picked up, and Jiang Momo's heartbeat seemed to be affected by it. She grabbed the fabric at the front of Li Jiuyuan's collar and quickly said:

"Ninth Master, please put me down! I can walk by myself!"

What's going on here?!

Although it was nighttime, there were still quite a few people strolling along the river. Jiang Momo felt incredibly embarrassed in front of so many people; she was practically dying of shame.

Seeing that Li Jiuyuan did not react, Jiang Momo gritted her teeth and punched him in the chest twice.

"Put me down!"

Li Jiuyuan finally stopped, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

"Walking too fast won't work, carrying me won't work either, so what's the best way?"

Why is this woman so delicate?

Just like when I'm in bed.

Too fast or too slow, no matter how fierce or gentle the movements are, she will cry.

How can I win her heart?

Sometimes, Li Jiuyuan couldn't help but wonder if if he could just do a little better, Jiang Momo would stay by his side.

She would no longer be entangled with Li Yunqi, and from then on, she would only be his wife.

The moment the thought crossed Li Jiuyuan's mind, he felt half disdain and half self-mockery.

He really has gone mad; he could be so humble for a woman.

Even so, he is still trying to make changes.

But clearly, the first change made today did not have a good effect.

Faced with Li Jiuyuan's suddenly cold expression, Jiang Momo didn't know how to respond, worried that she might offend him if she said something wrong.

And so the two sides remained deadlocked for a long time.

In the end, Jiang Momo closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and took this step.

She slowly extended her hand and said to Li Jiuyuan:

"Then hold my hand."

Li Jiuyuan looked down at Jiang Momo's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, and after a long while, he also stretched it out.

Just as their hands were about to touch, Jiang Momo changed her actions, hooking her little finger around Li Jiuyuan's little finger.

It's very light, yet its presence is very strong.

Li Jiuyuan's heart skipped a beat.

This action...

He became so excited that he could hardly contain himself, and even his breathing became rapid.

Could it be that she remembered something?

Just as Li Jiuyuan was about to ask for confirmation, Jiang Momo hooked his little finger and shook it.

The woman's gentle voice blended into the night breeze.

"Just lead him like this."

It also drifted into Li Jiuyuan's mind, crossing the chasm of time, and overlapped with a childhood voice from more than ten years ago.

Li Jiuyuan swallowed back the question he wanted to ask.

This person is the one.

The action itself was correct.

But seeing Jiang Momo's calm and composed expression just now, Li Jiuyuan knew clearly that he had been happy for nothing.

The woman still couldn't remember anything.

You heartless bastard.

But this little incident improved his mood considerably, and he let Jiang Momo pull him along.

The two switched positions, with Jiang Momo walking in front and Li Jiuyuan slowly following behind.

The figure in his line of sight was light and agile, a sight he rarely saw before.

Li Jiuyuan suddenly thought that this might not be so bad, and it seemed like it would be good to just keep going like this.

……

However, every road eventually comes to an end.

Even if he was unwilling to admit it, time passed faster than he had expected.

Just as Li Jiuyuan was engrossed in the moment, he heard Jiang Momo's excited voice in his ear, and his little finger, which was being held, also felt a huge movement.

"Ninth Master! This is a night market, shall we go get something to eat?"

Her eyes seemed to be shining as she said these words.

Li Jiuyuan looked over and saw the person he had searched for countless times in his dreams standing on the long street with its scattered lights. The surrounding area was bustling with people, vendors were shouting their wares, and the aroma of cooking wafted in the evening breeze.

The wind blew over Jiang Momo and also pulled Li Jiuyuan down to the mortal realm.
