The moonlight was cold and clear.
Ning Jing stopped in her tracks, looking back at Nian Jincheng.
Before Nian Jincheng could see Ning Jing's expression, she had disappeared into the vast darkness of the night.
Su Liang didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing Nian Jincheng wearing Ning Jing's clothes coming out of the room, she told him to go back, "Mai Fei's people are coming. After I leave, wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen."
Nian Jincheng immediately returned to the room, closed the door, and hid to avoid being discovered.
When he calmed down, he realized that Ning Jing told him to "wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen" because she wanted him to do those chores, just like Su Liang had said.
Was this what Ning Jing always did?
Nian Jincheng sat in the room, picked up Ning Jing's book, and saw a familiar gingko leaf bookmark inside.
He also had such a bookmark, given to him by his only friend.
