Sometimes when Mu Gu got up early, he would have breakfast at her place before leaving.

Occasionally, when Xiao Ruge had a poor appetite, the leftover breakfast would be taken up by Mu Gu. Now, neither of them disliked the other.

Mu Gu liked this feeling very much, as if they were already an old married couple, with you in me and me in you.

Seeing Mu Gu's nasty smile, Xiao Ruge knew that this guy was probably up to no good. She glared at him, stopped eating, returned the remaining candied haws to Mu Gu, and glared at him, warning him not to eat more.

"I'll eat one more and then I won't eat anymore!"

Mu Gu ate the piece that Xiao Ruge had taken a bite of, and threw the rest directly to the side of the road. Neither of them ate it.

There were also lanterns for sale at the night market. Mu Gu wanted to buy a rabbit lantern for Xiao Ruge, but Xiao Ruge didn't like it very much and instead picked a tiger one.

Mu Gu didn't say anything. He happily paid the bill and took her to eat wontons.

This dish has soup and water, and a bowl contains nine not-so-big wontons. You won’t feel too full after eating it, and you can still try something else.

After a few people ordered wontons, Mu Gu wiped the stool first and then let Xiao Ruge sit down.

While waiting for the wontons to be served, he diligently poured water for Xiao Ruge and wiped the chopsticks. His servile behavior attracted the attention of people around him.

The reason was simple, it was just because Xiao Ruge dressed like a man, and Mu Gu looked at her with eyes that were almost tearing, everyone could tell at a glance that these two were probably having an affair.

Mu Gu didn't care what others thought. He just showed his courtesy and took care of Xiao Ruge meticulously.

After eating the wontons, he even wanted to wipe Xiao Ruge's mouth, which made Xiao Ruge so angry that she slapped his hand away.

"Pay attention, don't you notice that everyone is looking at us strangely?"

With a hint of anger in his dark eyes, Xiao Ruge walked out of the wonton stall quickly and decided to keep some distance from Mu Gu.

Mu Gu followed closely behind, glared at the people around him, and said aggrievedly: "They don't know the inside story and make random guesses. Can you blame me? Ruge, wait for me!"

In order to avoid causing any misunderstanding, Xiao Ruge turned around and headed towards the post station. However, because he walked too fast, he bumped head-on into a young lady.

The young lady was holding a small rabbit lantern in her hand, which fell to the ground and burned after being hit.

"Ouch! My lantern!"

The dim candlelight illuminated the young lady's face. She had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, a small nose, and a cherry mouth. Her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock because the lantern had burnt out. She then raised her head and looked at Xiao Ruge pitifully and aggrievedly.

She didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Ruge with tears in her eyes, as if what was broken was not the lantern, but some valuable item.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now."

After all, it was she who broke someone else's lantern. Xiao Ruge hurriedly apologized. Seeing the young lady's tearful look, she felt a little sorry.

"Since I broke your lantern, shall I buy you another one as compensation?"

After that, he pointed to a stall selling lanterns nearby and said with a smile, "Girl, pick any one you want."

Perhaps it was because of Xiao Ruge's good attitude, and the fact that she had already said she would compensate with a lantern, the tears in the young lady's eyes faded away. She couldn't help but look at Xiao Ruge with her beautiful almond eyes before she went to pick out the lantern.

Mu Gu had been standing aside and watching. When he saw Xiao Ruge was about to follow, he quickly grabbed her.

"Just let Mo Yi pay the bill. You don't have to go over there, right?"

Seeing his sleeve being grabbed, Xiao Ruge raised an eyebrow and looked at him coldly, "Let go!"

Seeing that Xiao Ruge was about to get angry, Mu Gu quickly walked her away and apologized.

"Ruge, don't be angry. I just think it's just a lantern. It's not worth it for you to go there in person."

"I was the one who broke the lantern. Since I promised to compensate the owner, how could I not go over and take a look? That would be too rude!"

After glaring at Mu Gu, Xiao Ruge came to the young lady.

Seeing that she couldn't choose between the little rabbit lantern and the little carp lantern, I just bought both and gave them to the lady.

The lady got two lanterns at once, and her eyes widened again in surprise, making her look silly and cute, especially adorable.

"You only broke one of my lanterns, so I just want the little rabbit's!"

As she spoke, the young lady handed the koi lantern to Xiao Ruge, obviously not wanting to accept it.

"Girl, please accept it. After all, I bumped into you by accident. Consider it an apology."

Xiao Ruge was good-looking to begin with, and even though he was dressed as a man, he was still handsome. His smile made the young lady's eyes dazed for a moment.

When the lady realized that she had been staring at a strange man, her face immediately turned red with shame and she bowed her head to thank him.

"In that case, thank you very much, sir!"

"You're welcome, young lady. We have something else to do, so we'll take our leave now!"

Noticing that the lady's eyes were looking at Xiao Ruge strangely, before Xiao Ruge could say anything, Mu Gu said something and then pulled Xiao Ruge away quickly.

The young lady stood there blankly, watching the two people walking away.

"Miss! So you are here! I was so scared, I thought you were lost!"

At this time, the young lady's maid came over with a bag of snacks in her hand, and patted her chest with a frightened look.

When he saw his young lady holding a lantern, he asked in surprise, "When did the young lady buy another lantern?"

The young lady came back to her senses when she was called. Thinking of the humble and polite Xiao Ruge, she couldn't help but smile shyly, "Just now a young man broke my lantern. This koi lantern is given to me by him as an apology."

"Young Master? Miss, you..."

"Shh! Lower your voice!"

Hearing the maid screaming in shock a lot louder, the young lady hurriedly covered her mouth. Fortunately, everyone was busy with their own things and no one paid attention to this side.

"Let's go back first, I'll tell you about this later!"

The little maid also knew that this matter was of great importance and it involved her young lady's reputation, so she did not dare to say anything more and quickly followed her young lady back.

"Mu Gu, what are you doing?"

Xiao Ruge only had time to look back at the young lady before she was dragged away from the stall. She did not shake off Mu Gu's big hand until she had walked a long way away.

"Nothing, I just thought that lady looked at you strangely."

Mu Gu pouted and spoke his true feelings.

"What are you talking about?"

Xiao Ruge felt that Mu Gu was simply talking nonsense. What was that young lady looking at him in a strange way? It was really inexplicable!

Because of this incident, Xiao Ruge's leisurely mood for strolling around the night market was gone, and he went straight back to the post station.

Mu Gu was also a little angry.

It’s no wonder that he said that just now, because he really saw that the young lady blushed because of Xiao Ruge’s words.
