Liu Qing and Cheng Gui (17)

Cheng Gui didn't bring his servant girls and imperial bodyguards. That was quite unusual. He brought Ming Shu to walk along the river banks.

There were many people releasing river lanterns along the banks. The river lanterns floated on the water like stars in the sky. The entire river was lit up and seemed vibrant.

Ming Shu looked at the surface of the river. Her thoughts seemed far away.

Little Beastie popped its head out from Ming Shu's sleeve. It tilted its head and reached out with its paws to pat Ming Shu.

"Watch out."

A bunch of little kids ran over happily. Cheng Gui pulled Ming Shu closer to him to prevent her from being jostled.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ming Shu eyes spun and the mysterious emotion in them disappeared. She stuffed Little Beastie back in her sleeve.

"Where are you taking me?" Ming Shu didn't want to walk. The time it took to replenish energy was greater than the time it took to consume energy.
