However, when she looked intently again, she could no longer see anyone...
The figure disappeared into the crowd.
It seemed that what passed by her was just her illusion.
It was so fast that she didn't even realize whether it was him or not.
Shu Nuan's expression was also quite dazed.
"What's wrong?"
A'che's calm voice suddenly brought her back to reality. Shunuan rubbed her eyes again, shook her head and said it was nothing, and then turned her head back to the stall, choosing absentmindedly.
Jing Che didn't say much, he just watched her picking things in silence. After a while, he turned his head and looked in the direction where Shu Nuan was looking. There were people coming and going, and there was nothing strange about her.
On the way back, Shu Nuan took the initiative to ask A Che, "Is there a temporary truce between the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom?"
Ah Che didn't shake his head or nod, but said calmly: "People in the Southern Dynasty are afraid of the cold. They suffered a loss last time. They will not start a war with the Northern Kingdom at this juncture."
Shu Nuan nodded, but couldn't help but ask: "Then... will you stay in Beichuan throughout the winter?"
Hearing this, Jing Che paused slightly and stared down at the little girl's clear and sweet peach blossom eyes. It was unclear whether there was expectation in those beautiful eyes, Jing Che couldn't tell.
He was silent for a while, then asked slowly and calmly: "Xiao Nuan, do you want me to stay?"
Shu Nuan blinked, obviously not expecting A Che to ask her this, she bit her lower lip and said: "I... just thought, if there is something over there in Nanchao that needs you to deal with, don't trust me, Xuan Jiu Uncle Chen and I are both by my side."
After listening to her words, Jing Che looked at her for a long time, then said a faint "Yeah", took Shu Nuan's little hand and walked home. From an angle that Shu Nuan couldn't see, there were a few touches on the corners of his lips. A slightly raised arc.
It is an inadvertent lightness.
The wind at night was obviously extremely cold, but he seemed to feel like a spring breeze.

On the other hand, Xuan Jiu and Ning Cheng were tired from traveling far away, so they sat down at a stall selling jujube tea, ordered two bowls of jujube tea, and packed three more portions to take back to Heng Mansion.
Ning Chengyuan saw Xuan Jiu talking to the stall owner with keen eyes. When he sat back, he couldn't help but frown and asked him: "Aren't you staying with your princess? Why are there two more people?"
Ning Chengyuan felt a little uneasy at this time, fearing that Xuan Jiu might have some childhood sweetheart in Beichuan.
Xuan Jiu snorted angrily: "What does it have to do with you?"
"You..." Ning Chengyuan wanted to press him, but couldn't find a reason. At that moment, the stall owner brought two bowls of hot jujube tea. Ning Chengyuan held the bowl of jujube tea and drank it depressedly. Even the scene of Lian Lian Xuan Jiu and his childhood sweetheart together began to come to mind, and the more he thought about it, the more heartwarming he became.
Xuan Jiu thought it was his sarcastic words that made this guy disappointed. Xuan Jiu was not interesting at first, but looking at his depressed look, it was as if he had bullied him. After thinking about it, Xuan Jiu decided not to have anything to do with a brain. The person who asked the question was worried too much, so he kindly told him: "There are also Uncle Chen and A Che."
Hearing this, Ning Chengyuan immediately let out a sigh of relief, but then he suddenly raised his head and widened his eyes: "What? That Ah Che also came to Beichuan?"
Xuan Jiu glanced at him coldly: "Do you have any objections?"
Ning Chengyuan slapped the table: "Yes! I have a big opinion! Xuan Jiu, tell the truth, is he still living with Shu Nuan?"
