"Get on my back and I'll carry you back." Mo Hanqing looked at Ye Qiqi with a deep look and whispered.
"Yes." Ye Qiqi reached out and rubbed his eyes, then climbed onto Mo Hanqing's back gently.
She put her head on his shoulder, her soft little face pressed tightly against his clothes, and there was a nice cool smell between her breaths, which made her feel at ease inexplicably.
"If you feel sleepy, just sleep for a while." After Mo Hanqing picked her up, he turned his head slightly and said to Ye Qiqi, who was lying on his back.
"Okay." Ye Qiqi nodded, then let out a long yawn, then lay on Mo Hanqing's back and stopped talking.
Mo Hanqing carried her on his back and walked slowly toward the inn in the city.
Ye Qiqi lay on his back in a daze, her head hitting his shoulder again and again, and fell asleep in a short time.
Mo Hanqing listened to the even breathing coming from his back. Her soft little face was pressed against him. At that moment, he was carrying her as if he was carrying the whole world.
When they were approaching the door of the inn, Ye Qiqi woke up.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the lit inn in front of her, then looked at Mo Hanqing who was carrying her on his back, and said in a confused voice: "Are you there yet?"
"Yes." After Mo Hanqing heard her voice, he turned his head slightly and asked her, "Why are you awake?"
"I just slept for a while, and I don't feel so sleepy anymore." Ye Qiqi yawned again as she spoke, then reached out and poked his shoulder, signaling him to put her down.
Mo Hanqing knelt down and carefully placed Ye Qiqi on the ground.
"How long have I been sleeping?" After Ye Qiqi stood on the ground, she raised her head and looked at Mo Hanqing and asked.
"It didn't take long." Mo Hanqing smiled at her and said, "It didn't even take half an hour to walk back from where we put the Kongming Lantern."
"Hmm..." Ye Qiqi nodded, then looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Sir, aren't you tired?"
"I'm not sleepy." Mo Hanqing curled his lips towards her, then reached out to touch her head and said, "Let's go back. The temperature has dropped at night. Don't get cold outside. We have important things to do tomorrow." There’s something to be done.”
"Okay." Ye Qiqi responded and was about to walk towards the inn when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
After being stunned for two seconds, she immediately turned around and chased after the figure.
"Qiqi?" Mo Hanqing looked at Ye Qiqi's figure who quickly turned away, and shouted to her with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"I... I think I saw my grandpa!" Ye Qiqi chased in that direction while turning to shout to Mo Hanqing who was following behind him.
"grandfather?"
Mo Hanqing was stunned.
Master Ye Jue?
It seemed that they had heard before that Master Ye Jue was in the Kingdom of Night. Could it be that they met Master Ye Jue on their first day in the capital of the Kingdom of Night?
Mo Hanqing thought for a moment and wasn't sure whether it was such a coincidence, so she just followed Ye Qiqi silently and flew in the direction she was flying.
Ye Qiqi followed closely the figure not far away, but no matter how fast she stepped, she could not catch up with the figure.
In this world, the only person who can keep her from catching up is her Grandpa Ye Jue.
