Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The meal was quickly finished. As dusk was getting darker, Cheng Hao paid the bill and personally sent Xu Yun back to her residence.

Xu Yun lives in the East District, which is some distance away from here. Cheng Hao doesn't dare let her walk alone at night.

Walking out of Hongbin Building and heading east along the street, we passed through the busy downtown area. The number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased and the lights around us also dimmed.

Cheng Hao held Xu Yun's hand, and whenever they passed through the dark corridor, he could clearly feel the strength of his palm increasing. Unexpectedly, Xu Yun, who was cheerful and lively, was also afraid of the dark.

Looking down at Xu Yun, who was clinging to him tightly and glancing around vigilantly from time to time like a frightened deer, Cheng Hao suddenly had a bold idea.

"what is that?"

When they reached the entrance of an alley, Cheng Hao suddenly stopped and pointed inside.

Xu Yun looked in the direction Cheng Hao pointed, and saw a white shadow swaying in the evening breeze in the dark alley, as if it was coming towards them.

"what!"

Xu Yun, who was already timid, screamed and shrank behind Cheng Hao in fear, wrapping her arms around her waist, not daring to look inside.

"Don't be afraid. I made a mistake. It was just a piece of clothing."

Cheng Hao held Xu Yun with both hands and comforted her softly.

After hearing that it was just clothes, Xu Yun, who had recovered from her shock, poked her head out from behind Cheng Hao and carefully looked at the white shadow floating in the alley.

After confirming that it was a false alarm, Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Cheng Hao who had a calm expression and instantly understood what had happened.

"Cheng Hao! You bad guy!"

Furious Xu Yun raised her fists and punched Cheng Hao repeatedly. She knew very well that this whole thing was planned by her boyfriend, who was just pretending to scare her and embarrass her.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I really misjudged you..."

Xu Yun's fists were soft and didn't hurt at all when they hit Cheng Hao's body. It didn't feel like a punishment, but rather like a reward to Cheng Hao.

As expected, I have a girlfriend who just can't help but want to die. If I don't find a way to bully her a little, I will feel uncomfortable all over.

"Bad guy, I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore."

Xu Yun gave a coquettish cry, turned her head away and ignored Cheng Hao, striding forward on her way.

Cheng Hao quickly chased after her and apologized: "Yun'er, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again next time."

"Humph, you still want to have a next time!"

Xu Yun had a cold face and looked like she was hard to appease.

"Haha, actually this matter can't be entirely blamed on me. I just wanted to play a joke on you, who knew you would react so strongly. Besides, the way you looked just now was really..."

Before Cheng Hao finished speaking, Xu Yun stepped on his shoe, raised her head, blushed, raised her fist and said in protest: "Shut up, don't talk about what happened just now. I'm not scared."

"Calm down, calm down."

Cheng Hao raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said in a soothing voice, "How about I perform a magic trick for you as an apology?"

"Magic? You can do magic?"

Xu Yun loosened her feet and showed a puzzled expression on her face. She only knew that Cheng Hao was an invincible fighting hero, but she didn't expect that he could also perform magic tricks.

“There are many talented people in the army. If you stay there for a long time, you will learn a little bit.

If you don't mind, I'll show you my ugliness."

Cheng Hao rolled up his sleeves, spread his hands out in front of him, turned his wrists, and said with a smile: "Look, I have nothing in my hands now, right?"

"Well, then what?"

Xu Yun stared at Cheng Hao's hands without blinking. She wanted to see what tricks her boyfriend could come up with.

Cheng Hao smiled slightly, clenched his right hand into a fist, raised it in front of Xu Yun, and said: "If I want to conjure something, I need to borrow your fairy energy, blow it."

"You think I'm a child, so fairy-like."

Seeing her boyfriend trying so hard to cheer her up, Xu Yun's anger had long since subsided. Although she complained, she cooperated very well by blowing lightly on Cheng Hao's fist.

After doing all this, Xu Yun wanted to turn around and give Cheng Hao some space to operate. Unexpectedly, Cheng Hao called Xu Yun and said in an excited tone: "Don't blink, the time to witness a miracle has come."

Cheng Hao lightly tapped his clenched fist with the index finger of his other hand, and then slowly opened his fist in front of Xu Yun.

Xu Yun stared at him the whole time, her pupils trembling and an incredible expression on her face.

Two White Rabbit milk candies appeared on Cheng Hao's palm, which was supposed to be empty.

"You...how did you do it?"

Xu Yun was shocked and picked up the candy in Cheng Hao's hand to look at it carefully.

"How about it? It's awesome."

Cheng Hao smiled triumphantly, peeled the remaining candy and fed it to Xu Yun.

"Try it and you'll know if it's true."

Faced with her boyfriend feeding her, Xu Yun's face turned red. After hesitating for a moment, she opened her mouth and put the candy into her mouth.

When the rich flavor of milk bloomed on the tip of her tongue, Xu Yun was finally sure that everything happening before her eyes was real.

"What about mine?"

Cheng Hao opened his mouth and looked at the candy in Xu Yun's hand with anticipation.

"You dared to scare me just now. I won't give it to you."

Xu Yun put the candy away and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Unless you tell me how it just changed."

Cheng Hao showed a slightly disappointed expression and said righteously: "No, the magician's secret must not be told to anyone."

How to tell? Should I tell Xu Yun that I transformed through space? There are some things that Cheng Hao can only remember in his heart and keep to himself.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I don't care."

Xu Yun turned her head away angrily, paused for a moment, peeled off the candy, and smiled at Cheng Hao, "Open your mouth."

Xu Yun is not a petty person, she will not blame Cheng Hao for a trivial matter.

Cheng Hao followed suit and took the candy into his mouth.

The two smiled at each other, leaned against each other tightly, and walked eastward at a leisurely pace.

After Cheng Hao's trick, the relationship between the two was not affected, but became even closer.

……

The street ahead was pitch black and quiet, with an eerie atmosphere. Fortunately, with Cheng Hao by her side, Xu Yun didn't feel scared at all.

After walking a little further, Cheng Hao suddenly heard a muffled humming sound as thin as a mosquito's foot coming from the alley next to him. He immediately stopped and listened carefully.

Seeing her boyfriend's behavior, Xu Yun thought he was going to use the same old trick again, so she smiled confidently and said, "Some tricks become obsolete after being used once, and they won't work the second time."

The muffled groaning sound from deep in the alley was very faint, and only Cheng Hao, whose five senses were beyond ordinary people, could detect it. Xu Yun could not hear any movement inside at all.

"Shh~"

Cheng Hao raised his middle finger and looked at Xu Yun seriously, signaling her to be quiet.

Seeing her boyfriend's serious expression, Xu Yun finally realized that this was not a joke, but a real trouble.

"Follow me."

Before the liberation of the city, there were good and bad people there. After several years of rectification, public security has improved significantly, but there are still some fish that slip through the net.

They dare not act rashly during the day, but night is when these lawbreakers are active.

Cheng Hao didn't dare to leave Xu Yun behind, so he decided to take her deeper into the alley to find out what was going on.
