Moonlit night.
Upon the bed.
The two nestled together.
Su Xiaoxiao with cries in her voice, “Xiaoxiao doesn’t mind at all, Xiaoxiao doesn’t mind at all, Xiaoxiao just wants you…”

Zhao Rong gently held her delicate hand, observing her tearful appearance, like a begonia unable to bear the morning dew.
His lips pursed, he remained silent for a while, then finally spoke, narrowing his eyes slightly.
“However, I still can’t overcome the barrier in my heart, I don’t want to wrong you.”
“Baby, I want to give you the best of what I currently can access… that’s why I have decided, first to deliver the letter entrusted to me by Teacher Fang to Linlu Academy, and then look for an opportunity to see if I can enter the academy to study.”
“By then, with the status of an academy scholar, I can proudly meet your great-grandmother and our clanspeople.”
“Zhao Lang, there’s no need for this, I am truly satisfied already, often feeling that I am unworthy of you…”
“Baby, stop, I have made up my mind. You know my worth, but others don’t. There are too many worldly people who only measure by wealth and fame. I cannot let your relatives look down on you in secret! Not even a little bit!”
Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip, gazing blankly at Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong coaxed softly:
“Baby, let’s part for a while. Tomorrow you go to Star-picking Tower to find your great-grandmother. Don’t run around everywhere. Wait for me to get into the academy—better still, wait until I’ve made a bit of a name. When the time is right, I’ll go straight to Star-picking Tower to find you, and together we will meet your parents… your great-grandmother.”
Su Xiaoxiao grasped Zhao Rong’s hand that cradled her small face, her lips parted slightly, about to speak, but seeing the resolve on Zhao Rong’s face, she decided against saying more.
Zhao Rong inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two were silent for a while.
Su Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and suddenly said, “Zhao Lang…”
“Baby!”
Zhao Rong’s tone was helpless.
“Hmm, it’s not that I’m advising you, I’m just worried…”
Zhao Rong curiously asked, “Worried about what?”
Su Xiaoxiao sniffed, “If you can’t enter the academy, will I never get to see you again?”
Zhao Rong: “………”

The next morning.
Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao got up early and left the house.
They arrived at the entrance of the inn.
There they saw Lu Wan’s carriage already waiting under a nearby tree.
Zhao Rong yawned, “This early?”
Lu Wan smiled, remaining silent.
Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao got into the carriage.
Lu Wan’s gaze lingered on Zhao Rong’s face for a moment, noticing he seemed a bit weary; had he not slept well last night?
“Young Master Zhao, where to?”
“Directly to East City, take us to Star-picking Tower. Let’s drop off Baby there first, then we can proceed.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Wan paused, glancing back at Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao.
Were they separating? No wonder the little fairy had greeted him with a somber tone.
The carriage slowly started moving.
Zhao Rong yawned again.
Last night, after Su Xiaoxiao learned that she would be separated from him for some time, she wanted to sew one more time to allow him to check on the progress she had made these days.
Initially, Zhao Rong had outright refused, of course, given the important task he had the next day.
But that little rascal was simply too enchanting; she transformed back into Su Huxian, arrogantly glaring at him, coldly commanding him to bring her the imperial sewing kit.
At last,
Zhao Rong couldn’t hold out and caved in…
Zhao Rong turned to glance at Su Xiaoxiao, who was tightly embracing his arm. Gone was any trace of the haughty Fox Fairy from last night—she was now just a submissive little wife.
He sighed softly.
Su Xiaoxiao whispered, “Zhao Lang, look, Huayi Mountain has changed colors again.”
On hearing this, Zhao Rong looked towards the highest mountain in East City, which had been purple just yesterday but was now clad in “red.”
Moreover,
today’s You Mountain was different from yesterday.
From afar, one could see countless white dots circling the peak, but they were too far away to make out clearly.
It surely had something to do with that major discipleship ceremony.
Zhao Rong raised his eyebrow.
“Zhao Lang, what if I miss you and you don’t show up for a long time? What should I do then?”
He turned his head and saw Su Xiaoxiao’s timid gaze, which was touchingly pitiful.
Zhao Rong patted her head, “You are already a mature little Fox Demon; you need to learn to cope when I am not around.”
Su Xiaoxiao nuzzled his warm hand with her little head.
Looking up at Zhao Rong, she said word by word, “What if I can’t get used to it and miss you very, very much?”
Zhao Rong fell silent.
After thinking, he spoke:
“Don’t worry, when I have the time, I will come to see you. But if you can’t stand it, well, just go to see Miss Lu Wan. I should often be taking her service since I’ve got a card… However, I need to study hard in the short term, so you silly girl better not come looking for me every day…”
“Also,” Zhao Rong suddenly turned serious, “If there’s anything crucial concerning you, you must come and tell me immediately, right away, without delay!”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, “Mm-hmm, Xiaoxiao remembers, go to you when I miss you too much and when there’s something important.”
Zhao Rong snapped his fingers, “Smart.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked hopeful, “Zhao Lang, you must study hard. Xiaoxiao will be good and not bother you needlessly, but you must absolutely not forget about Xiaoxiao.”
Zhao Rong nodded, but his gaze involuntarily shifted away.
He didn’t look at her.
In fact, Zhao Rong just wanted to send Su Xiaoxiao away for a short while.
Because he needed to go and return something to Qing Jun.
But he still carried some thinking from his past life and feared that a direct meeting between Su Xiaoxiao and Qing Jun might lead to chaos.
Zhao Rong didn’t want to leave any regrets; he wanted to have it all.
So, he thought to psychologically prepare them both in advance, test their attitudes, and then find the right moment to come clean.
To avoid an inevitable clash of opposites that would be difficult to reconcile.
This was also why he had been concealing things about Qing Jun from Su Xiaoxiao all along.
After all, judging from his probing, the current Su Xiaoxiao, well, was still quite problematic…
And this time why he didn’t first take Su Xiaoxiao to see her great-grandmother.
This was because Zhao Rong found this to be a rare chance to have an excuse to send the young lady away; if they had seen her great-grandmother, the young lady would likely have become even more clingy and inseparable.
He planned to drop Su Xiaoxiao off at Star-picking Tower soon, deliver a letter to Linlu Academy to settle a matter, and then leave immediately to go to Taiching Prefecture to find Qing Jun.
As for Su Xiaoxiao, how could he bear to forget her? Only, he would go find her after settling things with Qing Jun, then go meet her great-grandmother.
As for studying at Linlu Academy…
Since he had already promised this silly girl, even though it was just an excuse, he would definitely do it.
About Qing Jun’s matter, he already felt very guilty inside; how could he let her down in other aspects?
Alas, silly girl.
Once it’s settled, I’ll come find you right away!
