Jie Chen was wearing the same silver armor today. As he walked over, the sunlight just so happened to fall from behind him, casting his figure as an unattainable presence.
Their eyes met, and Xiang Ying felt awkward, about to greet him.
But then she heard the voice of Lu Pan Chu's maid from behind: "Vice General Jie, why did you come so early? My lady said it's for moon viewing at night."
So it turns out Jie Chen was here for a moon-viewing date with Lu Pan Chu.
The words on the tip of Xiang Ying's tongue were forcibly swallowed down.
She quickened her step and hurriedly brushed past Jie Chen.
When Jie Chen was beside her, he paused in his steps, not expecting Xiang Ying to move faster than a rabbit.
Acid Scholar greeted her; she responded perfunctorily with a hum and then left the courtyard straight away.
Whatever Jie Chen said to the maid afterward, Xiang Ying could no longer hear.
Swiftly, she walked to the entrance; Skinny Monkey was already waiting for her.
