HRPM – Chapter 390 Night Out (1)

The moon had just risen above the treetops, and the night was intoxicatingly beautiful.

Because Jinyun City was celebrating its annual three-day temple festival, the streets were especially lively. Gorgeous lanterns decorated every corner of the city, creating a breathtaking scene.

The seven of them gathered in the main hall, where the manager introduced the various attractions and festivities taking place that evening.

“So there’s a performance of exotic mystical arts in the eastern part of the city? That’s exactly what I like! Brother Yu, let’s go see it, okay?”

Tonight, Muyun was dressed in a flowing purple ruqun, with a string of golden lily-of-the-valley hairpins adorning her hair, making her look both lively and charming.

Her eyes sparkled brightly, and she made no attempt to hide her passionate feelings.

Xiao Yu awkwardly glanced at Jin Luoluo. Seeing the teasing smile on her face only made him feel more frustrated.

Did she really think it was perfectly fine for him to spend time alone with Muyun?

That heartless girl.

He could never tell whether she deliberately pretended not to understand his feelings or simply chose to ignore them altogether.

The thought made his teeth itch with annoyance.

He absolutely could not let her have her way.

“Muyun, wouldn’t that be inappropriate? The others may not be interested in mystical performances. We should ask where everyone else wants to go first.”

Muyun immediately pouted.

“If they want to go somewhere else, they can go by themselves. We should visit the places we like! Brother Yu, please? I haven’t watched mystical arts in ages. I really want to go. Come on, please, please~~”

Muyun was like an indestructible piece of sticky plaster—once attached, impossible to shake off.

Xiao Che was quite pleased to see her clinging to Xiao Yu and added his support.

“Fourth Brother, you should go with Muyun. We can split up and enjoy ourselves separately, then meet up later at an agreed place. That way, nobody has to miss out on what they want to see.”

With a cheerful smile, Xiao Yu immediately countered,

“Oh? So you’re afraid we’ll interrupt your moonlit stroll with Miss Yang? As your younger brother, I wouldn’t dare be so insensitive. Third Brother, if that’s what you want, by all means, go ahead.”

Xiao Che’s expression stiffened.

The corner of his eye instinctively drifted toward Jin Luoluo, only to discover that she was completely absent-minded and hadn’t paid the slightest attention to their conversation.

That realization brought him a small sense of relief.

Ever since this trip began, he still couldn’t understand why their father had insisted on bringing Ruoyao along. The situation left him deeply uncomfortable.

In the past, he would never have cared about Jin Luoluo’s thoughts. He did whatever he pleased and paid no attention whatsoever to her feelings.

But now, whenever he grew close to Ruoyao, the casual look of disdain that occasionally flickered across Jin Luoluo’s face made him strangely uneasy.
