"A Mian! A Mian!"
Sang Qingxiao heard the calls and quietly asked, "Is that you?"
Qi Xiaomian not only heard it but also recognized the voice. His expression darkened, and he chose to ignore it, quickening his pace.
The person behind him was relentless and even started running.
Knowing he couldn't escape, Qi Xiaomian slowed down again. The person squeezed through the crowd and finally caught up, standing in front of Qi Xiaomian, anxiously and affectionately asking, "Seventh Brother, is that you? Seventh Brother."
"You've got the wrong person."
Qi Xiaomian maintained a blank expression, trying to walk around him.
But the person clung on, saying, "A Mian, why are you being difficult again? That expression of yours is just like when we were kids. It's been over ten years since we last met, yet I recognized you just from your silhouette. You may not look much like Father, but your profile resembles him a lot."
As he spoke, he raised his hand as if to lightly pat Qi Xiaomian's shoulder. Qi Xiaomian quickly dodged. The person's expression turned awkward. "Why are you so angry? Do you still remember our childhood? We used to play around without holding back. After you left, I regretted it. I'm here to apologize, A Mian. Please don't be mad at me."
"You've got the wrong person!"
Qi Xiaomian still didn't want to engage with him and grew increasingly impatient.
The person continued, "I've heard you joined The Office of Censors. I saw someone from The Office of Censors at Tongxiang Inn and wondered if you might be in Yuntie County too. And look, here we are!"
He reached out to grab Qi Xiaomian again, but Qi Xiaomian ruthlessly broke his grip. Caught off guard, the man turned red in the face from holding back his reaction but remained silent.
Anger surged on his face but was quickly suppressed. "Seventh Brother, your skills put me to shame."
Qi Xiaomian warned him, "If you block my path again, it won't just be your hand that gets broken."
As they walked past him, they heard the man's unwilling shout from behind: "Father is also in Yuntie County! If he knew you were here, he would definitely want to see you!"
After turning a corner and confirming that the man wasn't following them anymore, they continued on their way.
Qi Xiaomian's thoughts drifted into the past as his pace quickened. A small hand presented a square object before his eyes, snapping him back to reality as he stopped in his tracks.
"Sorry, I said I would take you around," Sang Qingxiao said.
"Have some candy," he smiled. "Eating candy will lift your spirits."
Qi Xiaomian took the small candy wrapped in oil paper. As he unwrapped it, a sweet milky aroma wafted up. Once he tasted it, the milky flavor intensified; after savoring it for a while, he realized that the candy was soft—each chew felt like his mouth was immersed in milk.
His mood seemed to improve a bit.
Sang Qingxiao pulled out more and stuffed them into Qi Xiaomian's hands. "I made these to coax children; today, I'm here to coax you."
Looking at Sang Qingxiao's smiling face, Qi Xiaomian felt some of the gloom in her heart dissipate. "Do you want to continue exploring?"
