As the lights illuminated the city, beside the railing in a certain Movie City in City B .
Mu Yuchen stood beside Xi Xiaye . There were still a lot of people who were busy shooting at night .
Xi Xiaye gripped the cold railing with both her hands as her eyes glittered . She looked down for a long time without saying anything . Suddenly, she felt a warm weight on her shoulder before she came back to her senses .
She turned around and noticed that he had put his jacket over her . He only wore a black shirt in the windy weather . With the dim light shining on him, he looked very peaceful .
“It's pretty cold out here,” he said quietly with warmth in his tone .
She smiled at him as she closed her eyes and pulled the coat snugly around her . After a while, she continued looking downward and sighed, “People only see what happens in front of the camera, and rarely know how much effort is put into making it work . It seems really tough . ”
Mu Yuchen laughed as he grabbed her shoulder gently with one arm . “Of course, it's tough . Everyone has their own worries . Alright, it's pretty late now and we should go back . If you want to see more, we'll come again tomorrow . ”
They then walked away .
After cruising around for the whole afternoon and taking a tour around Movie City, because Xi Xiaye was wearing a thin-soled shoe, her legs were about to give out . She frowned when Mu Yuchen moved forward .
“What's wrong?” He turned around when he noticed that she did not move .
Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows and squinted at him . Suddenly, she lowered her voice . “Mr . Mu, I'm going to do something inelegant now . Are you going to judge me?”
Mu Yuchen narrowed his eyes as well as he looked at her little face, not saying anything .
Without waiting for his reply, she took off her shoes and revealed her pretty little pair of feet . Then, she picked her shoes up and walked over to him to hold his hand . “Let's go . ”
Only then did he notice that she was actually rather short . She could barely reach his chin after taking off her shoes . Like she mentioned before, she really did seem like a beautiful, petite woman, but the scene of her did not really fit the atmosphere at the moment .
“It's pretty cold on the ground . Hop on . ” He took her shoes and squatted down . His intention was obvious .
Xi Xiaye had a wide smile and she quickly hopped onto his back . “You only realize you should do it now . Tsk tsk, Mr . Mu, you've failed as a guardian . ”
“You're taking me for granted now, huh?” He ranted, but there was no anger in his tone at all .
She crossed her arms in front of his chest and he started piggybacking her . As they walked past the gentle sunset, their long shadows were cast on the ground .
After a while, she suggested by his ears, “Why don't you sing something? You sang really well last time, Mr . Mu . ”
“Shouldn't you be the one singing now?”
After some hesitation, she looked at the light in front, and then her beautiful warbling brushed past his ears .
“As evening fell, a maiden stood at the edge of the woods .
In her hands lay the reins of a stallion .
And ne'er had I seen a girl as fair, nor heard a gentler voice anywhere . ”
His heart softened like mush . After she sang for some time, she suddenly said, “Mr . Mu, I think I know where we should go for our honeymoon . ”
“Hmm?” He replied quietly, “Where do you want to go?”
“I want to go to South America . I want to see the large fields there and ride a horse through the fields with a rifle in my hand . It'd be great if Ah Shi and Ah Mo could come with us too,” she said hopefully .
“Then, we'll have our wedding there,” he replied without any hesitation .
“Great!” She grinned happily as she rested her face on his warm back .
Happiness came upon her . She told herself she should embrace it with her arms opened wide . Xi Xiaye, you have to persist and not give up . These things are never far away from you…
Mr . Mu carried Mrs . Mu all the way back . He did not know how long they walked for, but it was near midnight when they arrived back at the hotel, and she was already asleep on his back .
Fortunately, she was not really heavy . She would always talk about maintaining her weight halfway through a meal .
Mr . Mu had been keeping himself fit . Together with Zhou Zimo and Su Chen, all of them had strapping bodies even long after they retired from the army . Su Chen and Zhou Zimo would participate in five-kilometer runs from time to time . Some time ago, they invited him to join them and even prepared a camouflage suit for him .
“Master!”
Li Si who had been waiting for Mu Yuchen at the hotel entrance quickly came up to him, noticing that Xi Xiaye was asleep on Mu Yuchen's back . As he was about to say something Mu Yuchen stopped him . “She's asleep . Don't wake her up . We'll talk upstairs . ”
They then went into the hotel .
Inside the room, Mu Yuchen carefully put Xi Xiaye on the bed, he put her under the blanket before leaving the room .
Li Si had been waiting for quite a while outside, and he quickly prepared a cup of tea when Mu Yuchen came out .
Mu Yuchen sat down on the sofa and took the tea from Li Si . He took a sip from it and pointed at the seat opposite him, signaling Li Si to sit down . “Update me . ”
“Yes, Master!” Li Si sat down and reported, “We've started the investigations . Information from the hospital stated that the truck driver is in the final stage of liver cancer . He didn't really suffer heavy injuries, just some bruises, but we're still investigating whether he was directed to do so . ”
Mu Yuchen nodded as he placed the cup of tea on the table . He continued, “How are Ah Mo and Lingshi?”
“Ms . Lingshi came over early in the morning . She's in the hospital taking care of Ah Mo right now . When she heard that the incident this time wasn't a light accident, she decided to move into Ah Mo's villa after he returns to City Z . She should've some thoughts of her own about that,” Li Si related quietly .
