Several days passed in a row!
During this time, Xu Xian, busy as he was, still stole moments from his schedule to court Little White. Their feelings for each other grew deeper and deeper!
Meanwhile, Qing Mo acquired a quiet private residence within Lin'an City and, through a "chance coincidence," came to know Xu Xian. The two became friends!
The warm sunlight slowly rose over the horizon!
The streets immediately became bustling with activity, everyone striving to make a living!
Some set up stalls along the roadside, selling all manner of goods!
Others performed acrobatics, such as breathing fire or smashing boulders on their chests!
Clad in a long robe painted like an ink-wash landscape, Qing Mo was handsome and refined, with sword-like brows, starry eyes, and an extraordinary bearing. Holding a folding fan in his right hand, he looked as though he had stepped straight out of a painting!
"Boss! One serving of osmanthus cake!"
"Right away, young master! Three copper coins in total!"
After paying the copper coins at the pastry stall, Qing Mo bought a serving of freshly made osmanthus cake!
When Little Tail, who had been sitting obediently on his shoulder, saw the osmanthus cake in Qing Mo's hand—
It immediately scampered down his arm, picked up a fragrant, soft piece of osmanthus cake with its two adorable front paws, and began nibbling at it in tiny bites!
As Qing Mo ate osmanthus cake himself and wandered the lively streets with Little Tail—
Xu Xian, dressed as usual, approached him together with his constable brother-in-law, Li Gongfu!
"Good morning, Young Master Qing Mo!" The moment Xu Xian spotted Qing Mo, he cupped his fists slightly in greeting!
"Good morning, Doctor Xu. Good morning, Constable Li!"
"Have you two eaten? Care to have some with me?"
