Chapter 6

After I brought Xie Yun back to Qingzhou, it caused a huge stir!

“Good! Good! Good!” My grandfather praised me repeatedly, “Yunshu, you truly are a loyal and righteous child! Amidst countless dangers, you braved hardships and brought Ah Yun back. This time, Grandpa will definitely reward you well!”

When Xie Yun heard my grandfather’s words, he glanced at me lightly.

I replied calmly, “Grandfather, this is what I ought to do.”

My grandfather held Xie Yun’s hand for a long time without speaking.

Before such disaster, no matter how much is said, it all feels insubstantial.

“Dog Emperor!” Xie Yun’s uncle’s eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, “Sooner or later, we will march to the capital, hang his dog head on the city wall, and comfort the departed souls!”

My grandfather placed my hand together with Xie Yun’s.

Xie Yun’s hand was frighteningly cold, and I instinctively wanted to pull away.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yun turned his hand over and gripped mine tightly.

I glared at him: What are you doing!

Getting too familiar, aren’t you!

I agreed to help you hide your deafness, but I never agreed to act like lovers with you.

Xie Yun acted as if he hadn’t noticed, holding my hand and standing shoulder to shoulder with me.

Seeing this, my grandfather looked somewhat comforted.

He sighed deeply, “Ah Yun, by rights, you should observe mourning for your parents for three years. But circumstances are different now; extraordinary times call for extraordinary actions. I will preside over your marriage. You and Yunshu-would it be alright to wed in three months?”
