The Gentle and Kind Lin Yueru

Li Xiaoyao hadn't told anyone his joke that night, but keeping something that funny to himself had been unbearable. He'd tossed and turned for half the night, unable to sleep, and only felt better after sharing it with Wang Yue and the others the next day.

He'd done it because the man had several guards with him. Li Xiaoyao had thought they would cause trouble for Lin Yueru, who had a bell just like his, while looking for the stolen money pouch.

Zhao Ling'er swallowed a mouthful of medicinal food that Wang Yue had specially prepared to replenish her energy. She'd been thinking about how kind he was when she heard that Li Xiaoyao had stolen from someone in broad daylight. Disapprovingly, she said, "Big Brother Li, that was wrong. How can you just steal from people? What if they were traveling and needed the money in their pouch?"
