Xiao Liulang quickly held onto her restless hand, afraid that if he didn't stop her, her hand might wander where it shouldn't.
"That's real too." He said in a hoarse voice. "Don't touch randomly."
Gu Jiao replied, "Oh."
Xiao Liulang: ...Why does her tone sound so regretful?
Xiao Liulang didn't let go of her hand, but he didn't exert much force either. If she wanted to, she could easily pull her hand out.
But Gu Jiao didn't do that. She shifted her body sideways, facing him as if she could actually see him in the pitch-black night.
Their breaths entwined endlessly in the darkness.
Suddenly, she hooked her finger with his and asked, "Since you're real from head to toe, then I won't be disappointed."
But what if my identity is fake?
What if I am not the person you think I am?
Xiao Liulang gathered his thoughts and mustered up the courage to speak, "Have you ever considered that maybe I'm not the real..."
In the end, it was difficult for him to say it.
In truth, Gu Jiao didn't mind whether he was the real Xiao Liulang or not.
But since he brought it up, she was willing to be honest with him as well.
Gu Jiao looked at him and said, "Not the real what?"
Xiao Liulang tightened his grip on her hand, "Not the real..."
"Achoo!"
A sudden sneeze came from behind Xiao Liulang. His body trembled and he swiftly turned his head to look at the other side.
The night was too dark, and he couldn't see, but when he reached out and felt, he confirmed that there was indeed a little dumpling-shaped figure yawning there.
"How... How come he’s here?"
Xiao Liulang was scared out of his wits!
Fortunately, he didn't do anything to Gu Jiao, or else...
Gu Jiao responded with an "Oh" and said, "He was worried about you, so he followed along. He probably needs to use the latrine. Before going to sleep, he had a bowl of pear soup."
As Gu Jiao spoke, she found a matchstick on the bedside table and lit the oil lamp.
Sure enough, the drowsy Little Jing Kong had already covered his little bottom. He was dreaming, dreaming that he was searching for the latrine everywhere, and he had finally found it!
"I'll take care of it." Xiao Liulang said.
He had just lifted Little Jing Kong, not even having a chance to take off his pants, when Little Jing Kong peed...
A proper dark history!
Xiao Liulang was soaked in his pee, his face covered in black lines. "..."
The next morning, Xiao Liulang was feeling better aside from a bit of a sore throat and a hoarse voice.
Little Jing Kong woke up comfortably on JiaoJiao's bed, feeling refreshed.
He stretched lazily and walked out of the east room. He saw Xiao Liulang sitting in the main room, organizing the books. The books had been soaked by the rainwater that had floated in last night, but the sky had cleared up this morning, and he planned to take the books outside to dry.
He also noticed Little Jing Kong coming out of the east room and raised an eyebrow, "You wet the bed last night."
Little Jing Kong widened his eyes, "You're making things up! How could I wet the bed? I stopped peeing my pants when I was one year old!"
That was the truth. He was the only little dumpling in the temple who didn't peed his pants!
Xiao Liulang chuckled, "If you don't believe me, go take a look. Your wet pants haven't been washed yet."
Little Jing Kong quickly ran to the backyard to check. It was the pants he had worn before going to sleep, and they were indeed wet!
Meanwhile, he was wearing another pair of pants.
Little Jing Kong shook his body and his little hand covered his mouth in disbelief, "This, this..."
Xiao Liulang walked over, a smirk forming on his lips, "How about that? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Little Jing Kong waved his little fists in frustration and jumped up and down, "I, I, I didn't peed my pants! It must have been you! You peed your pants and blamed it on me! Don't believe me? Look! Your pants are here too! They're wet!"
Xiao Liulang retorted, "That's because you peed on me!"
Little Jing Kong absolutely refused to believe that he peed his pants. How could his bad brother-in-law, who was already an adult, wet his pants and then blame it on him? Shame on him!
"Humph!"
Little Jing Kong walked away with a snort!
……
Not long ago, Ning Wangfei returned to her maiden family's home and stayed there to take care of her critically ill mother. It wasn’t until her mother's health improved that he returned to the prince’s residence.
Because of that, Gu Jiao's visit to the prince’s residence to diagnose Ning Wangfei's pulse was delayed.
Gu Jiao was still unaware of Ning Wangfei's return, but Rui Wangfei was the first to find out. She quickly arranged for a carriage to go to Ning Wang Residence.
"Sister-in-law!"
Ning Wangfei's carriage happened to be parked at the entrance of the prince’s residence at this time. As she was about to board the carriage, she heard Rui Wangfei's voice filled with joy.
Ning Wangfei stopped her foot that had already stepped onto the stool and turned to look at Rui Wangfei, who had just stepped down from another carriage. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Slow down, is there anyone else who proudly walks so fast with such a big belly?"
Rui Wangfei was practically running.
She approached Ning Wangfei, and said with a smile, "Is Aunt's health better now?"
"Yes, much better." Ning Wangfei nodded with a smile. "Why did you leave the residence when you're pregnant? Shouldn't you be resting there?"
Rui Wangfei replied, "I heard that you’ve returned, so I came specifically to see you. I've been idle at the residence for the past two months, so I learned a bit of cooking. These dried apricots are made by me. Sister-in-law, please don't dislike them."
As she spoke, the court lady behind her handed over a ceramic jar filled with dried apricots.
A servant girl beside Ning Wangfei reached out and received it.
Ning Wangfei expressed her gratitude, "You're thoughtful. I was about to go to the palace to pay respects to imperial mother and Imperial Concubine Mother Zhuang. Would you like to join me?"
Rui Wangfei smiled, "That was exactly my intention!"
Ning Wangfei glanced at her bulging belly and hesitated for a moment, "But your condition..."
Rui Wangfei waved her hand, "It's fine! I can ride in the carriage!"
A tinge of envy flashed in Ning Wangfei's eyes, and she held Rui Wangfei's hand, "Alright, come aboard."
The two of them got into Ning Wangfei's carriage.
The group soon arrived at the imperial palace. Ning Wangfei took special care of Rui Wangfei, even more cautious than Rui Wang himself.
