In the courtyard.
"Brother, I'm going to see Xiao Ru. I might stay at her place tonight and won't be coming back."
Chen Yue, wearing a light purple dress, stood at the door of Chen Mu's room, waving her small hand at him inside.
"Go ahead."
Chen Mu was sitting behind a square table, reading a book. Hearing Chen Yue's words, he looked up at her, nodded slightly, then returned to reading his book and took another sip from the teacup beside him.
As he continued reading, he suddenly felt two cool small hands touch his back.
"What is Brother reading... oh, 'Da Xuan Demon Beast Chronicles'?"
It was Chen Yue, who had quietly approached from behind and suddenly wrapped her arms around Chen Mu's neck, then tilted her head to look at the book in his hands.
