She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at his face, asking in a thick, nasal voice, "You're back?"
"Yes, I am back," he replied.
"No longer in disguise? Don't you have to go to the Yamen later?" After Nan Feng had wrapped her arms around his neck, she was cuddling into his embrace to ward off the chill.
Ye Ge laughed and picked her up again. This time, he sat down on the recliner with Nan Feng relaxing on his lap. "Yes, I don't have to go to the Yamen. I'm off for the fourth and fifth days of the lunar month. I planned to surprise you by returning to the village early tomorrow morning. But it seems your surprise came sooner. Everything at the Yamen has been sorted."
"So, you have two days to spend with me?" Nan Feng, like a cat, lay on his chest and touched his face.
"We will be together for these two days," he removed her hand from his face and then kissed the back of her hand.
