Chapter 15: Gentle Under the Moonlight

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moon was shining brightly.

The Ji Shi Hall lit up.

In the past, when An Jing returned from his consultation at night, the lights here would always be switched off. But now, it was different.

An Jing changed his clothes and walked in with the candied haws he had just bought.

At this moment, a black fur ball rolled to his feet.

“Where did it come from?”

An Jing looked at the puppy by his feet and could not help but ask.

“Young master, you’re back from your consultation.”

Tan Yun walked over with a pestle and said excitedly, “Missy and I picked it up on our way back. I thought it was pitiful so I brought it back.”

An Jing nodded and gently stroked the puppy’s fur. He said with a smile, “It’s not a bad idea to take care of a dog.”

“By the way, does it have a name?”

The little black dog licked An Jing’s finger and kept rolling on the ground.

“Let me think about it.”

Tan Yun waved the pestle and said, “Why don’t we call it Blackie? It’s simple and suits it very well.”

“No, it’s not elegant enough.” An Jing shook his head.

‘Nowadays, all dogs are called Blackie, Whitie, can we choose a different one?’

Tan Yun pouted. “Lil Black? Isn’t that elegant enough?”

Elegant enough?

An Jing paused. “I think it’s elegant, but I don’t think it’s loud enough.”

“Young master, you’re really picky!”

Tan Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up. “How about this? How about ‘Lil Blackie’? It’s elegant and loud.”

Anjing was speechless.

Finally, the name of Lil Blackie was confirmed. An Jing watched as Lil Blackie was ‘played’ by Tan Yun and quietly walked towards the back hall.

Lights flickered in the inner hall.

The room was neat and tidy, with two sunflowers on the desk.

The sunflower was currently in its blooming season. Besides, Zhao Qingmei liked sunflowers, so she placed two of them in the room.

At this moment, Zhao Qingmei was sitting by the desk with a book in front of her.

“Darling, you’re back.”

Upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Zhao Qingmei regained her senses and said with a smile, “Have you had dinner? I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles.”

“There’s no need. I ate before I came back.”

An Jing chuckled and took out the candied haws from his back. “What do you think this is?”

Zhao Qingmei seemed to like eating candied haws, which were sour and sweet.

“Darling, you are the best.”

Zhao Qingmei grabbed the candied haws happily.

“Madam, are you learning a new trick?”

An Jing walked to the side of the table and picked up the book to take a look, but his heart could not help but jump.

He had fallen in love with tricks ever since Zhao Qingmei did it for him.

“Bad person!”

Zhao Qingmei blushed and said, “This is ‘Youyang Miscellaneous Articles’. There are some strange things recorded in it. I’ve been reading it a lot lately, especially a certain unique breed of bird recorded in it.”

“What bird?”

“Footless Bird.”

“Footless Bird?”

“That’s right. That kind of bird doesn’t have feet. It only has wings. It flies all its life. And it only lands once in its life. That’s when it dies. I don’t think it actually goes anywhere. It died from the beginning.”

Zhao Qingmei placed her finger on the book and smirked.

It could only touch the ground once in a lifetime, and it was when it died!

An Jing looked at the woman in front of him who seemed to be a little sentimental and gentle like water. His heart rippled.

At this moment, Zhao Qingmei walked towards the window and gently propped it up. The moonlight poured down like water.

An Jing looked at the silver moon hanging high in the sky outside the window and the sky full of stars. He could not help but say, “Qingmei, shall we admire the moon together?”

“Sure.”

Due to the humid climate on the Jiangnan Dao, it rained all year round. The eaves of the houses were very steep.

An Jing took out a ladder from the courtyard.

“I’ll hold on to it. You climb up first.”

Zhao Qingmei carefully held onto the ladder and climbed onto the roof before An Jing slowly climbed up.

A crescent moon hung high in the dark blue sky, its clear radiance illuminating the land.

The evening breeze blew gently.

Under the moonlight, Tan Yun was also sitting on the steps, her palm constantly rubbing the dog’s body.

The little black dog sprawled on the ground, as if it had already accepted its fate and allowed Tan Yun to do anything to it.

“Lil Blackie, let’s enjoy the moon together.” Tan Yun said sourly before looking up at the full moon.

“Woof!”

When Lil Blackie heard this, he protested.

“In another five or six months, it will be winter and you will be about your age. Miss said that she wants to nourish Young Master’s body.”

Tan Yun placed Little Blackie on her lap and chuckled. She muttered to herself, “You’re so cute now. You’ll definitely be delicious when the time comes.”

“Woof! Woof!”

When Lil Blackie heard this, his hair stood on end and he jumped up nervously. He barked at Tan Yun with a fierce look.

…

“The moon is really beautiful tonight.” Zhao Qingmei sat on the roof and allowed the breeze to blow against her exquisite face while her soft hair swayed in the wind.

“Yeah, the wind is gentle too.” An Jing chuckled and stretched.

The moon was beautiful and the wind was gentle.

Some people seemed to be naturally compatible with each other. If you said that the moon was beautiful, he would also reply that the wind was gentle.

The stars filled the sky and decorated the vast dark sky and surrounded the late-summer crescent moon.

It was indeed beautiful and gentle.

“Be careful.”

Zhao Qingmei stared at An Jing and thought to herself, He’s just an ordinary physician who’s weak and feeble. No matter how dangerous the martial world is, I have to protect him no matter what happens in the future.

“Don’t worry. With my skills, not to mention this ten-foot-tall roof, I can even walk on the city wall as if it’s flat ground,” An Jing said with a chuckle.

“Shut up! If that city wall falls, you’ll be dead. Who do you think you are?”

Zhao Qingmei pinched An Jing’s arm gently and lamented, “We haven’t admired the moon like this for many years.”

“What?”

An Jing felt strange.

Have they ever appreciated the moon like this?

“I mean, I’ve been wanting to enjoy the moon with you like this for a long time.” Zhao Qingmei blushed and took out the candied hawthorn stick. “If you don’t eat this, the candied hawthorn stick will melt.”

Zhao Qingmei then licked the candy wrapper on the candied fruit.

Zhao Qingmei’s face turned red and her heart started beating faster.

An Jing looked at Zhao Qingmei’s exquisite face, which was shy and adorable. He could not help but grab her soft hand and pinch it. He swore in his heart that he would protect his wife and make her stay away from all the conflicts in the world.

“Qingmei.”

“What is it?”

“I want to eat candied fruits too.”

“Then I’ll feed you.”

“How do you feed it? Well… oh… it’s so sour. You ate all the sugar-coated stuff.”

“Hehehe.”

…

Under the moonlight, a series of giggles could be heard..
