Ji Zhao nodded obediently.

Shen Yao held her hand and carefully slowed down.

‘We’re here.” Fifteen minutes later, Shen Yao untied the red silk cloth covering her eyes.

The surroundings were dark and quiet. Ji Zhao blinked curiously. “This is?”

Shen Yao smiled and snapped his fingers.

Boom!

A bright firework suddenly appeared in the sky not far away.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dazzling and bright fireworks exploded three times in a row in the low sky, dazzling everyone’s eyes.

“It’s so beautiful!” Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, Ji Zhao couldn’t help but sigh.

When the last firework exploded, Ji Zhao could not help but feel a little dazed!

“That firework just now, was it a peach?”

‘Yes.” Shen Yao went behind her and gently pulled her into his arms. His tone became even gentler. “This is a gift for you. Do you like it?”

“It’s beautiful and special.

Ji Zhao tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with tenderness and sweetness.

‘Shen Yao, I have a gift for you too.” Ji Zhao turned around and gently grabbed his wrist, putting the carefully woven bracelet around it.

“The size is just right.” Ji Zhao grinned and showed her right wrist. “Take a look. Doesn’t it look good?”

“What’s this?”

‘IA couple’s bracelet!” Ji Zhao looked at him and the smile on her face became even sweeter. “But this bracelet has a special meaning. Do you want to know?”

‘Tm all ears.”

‘Look, the copper coins on this rope are the copper coins I ate from the dumplings this afternoon.” Ji Zhao grabbed his wrist and rubbed the copper coin on his wrist. She said in a low voice, “The meaning of this bracelet is that I’m willing to share half of my good luck with you.”

Although Ji Zhao was not used to it when she first came to this world in the book,

Fortunately, she was blessed by the Earth God. Her luck was always present.

Now that she and Shen Yao were connected, she was willing to share half of her good luck with him.

‘Ah Tao.” Shen Yao lowered his head and looked at her. A touched feeling surged in his heart.

The words of love that she had wanted to say were deeply reflected in that passionate kiss.

Ji Zhao, who was in his arms, felt his passion again.

Even through her clothes, she could still feel the restlessness. Her delicate little face was already flushed with shyness.

‘Ah Tao.” Shen Yao took a deep breath. His deep and rich voice could not hide his desire. “Can we, tonight?”

Ji Zhao’s face turned even redder.

She lay shyly in Shen Yao’s arms and hummed softly.

However, Shen Yao still heard her clearly.

When their eyes met, they saw shyness and anticipation in each other’s eyes.

Just as the two of them were about to leave, they heard a rustling sound.

Shen Yao subconsciously shielded Ji Zhao behind him. Their expressions instantly became serious.

‘Shen Yao.” Ji Zhao gently grabbed the corner of his shirt and deliberately lowered his voice. “I feel that something is wrong. Shall we go down the mountain first?”

-Okay.”

Just as the two of them were about to leave, the rustling sound became more and more obvious.

A bad feeling flashed across Ji Zhao’s heart—

She clenched Shen Yao’s arm nervously.

In the blink of an eye!

A sharp sword appeared out of thin air and headed straight for Shen Yao’s head!

BANG!

Shen Yao immediately grabbed Ji Zhao’s waist and dodged the sword. He kicked the longsword in the man’s hand with his right foot!

Ji Zhao, who was still in shock, hugged his neck nervously!

Just as that person was about to continue attacking, Shen Yao suddenly kicked the long sword in his hand and stabbed it fiercely— Seeing this scene, Ji Zhao was dumbfounded!

She had never thought that Shen Yao knew martial arts.

‘Don’t be afraid!”

Ji Zhao’s heart miraculously calmed down when he heard his voice. ‘Who are you? Why are you trying to assassinate me?”

In just three rounds, the man in black had already lost to Shen Yao.

‘You can only blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn’t have.”

That person sneered and quickly threw out a smoke grenade!

Then, he used the opportunity to escape—

‘Shen Yao, how are you? Are you injured?” Ji Zhao asked anxiously after the fog dissipated.

‘Tm fine.” Shen Yao held her hand tightly and comforted her gently. ‘Ah Tao, don’t be afraid.’

After confirming that Shen Yao was safe and sound, Ji Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.

However, from the corner of her eye, she inadvertently saw a dazzling light. She hurriedly turned around and picked up the small bronze badge hidden in the bushes.

It was a very smooth bronze badge with no patterns on it.

“From what the man in black said, he should be here for you?” The more Ji Zhao thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. “Shen Yao, what should we do?” ‘Don’t worry.” Shen Yao gently kissed her forehead, trying to calm her anxious emotions. “Let’s go home first.”

After returning to the Shen residence, Ji Zhao drank two cups of hot tea in a row and felt much better.

‘Ah Tao, don’t tell Mother and the others about this for the time being.” Shen Yao looked into her eyes and comforted her gently.

‘Shen Yao, your leg has recovered. Will it pose a threat to others?” Ji Zhao analyzed calmly. “This matter is strange.”

Ever since Shen Yao’s leg recovered, there was an additional danger lurking around them.

There was probably someone monitoring their every move in the dark.

The more Ji Zhao thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

‘Don’t be afraid.” Shen Yao scratched her palm and said gently, ‘Things will be settled soon.’

“1 have something on and have to go out. I can’t stay with you tonight,” Shen Yao kissed the back of her hand and told her softly.

Just as Ji Zhao was about to say something, Shen Yao’s figure had already disappeared in front of her.

This New Year’s Eve was destined to be extraordinary.

Shen Yao held the bronze badge tightly in his hand and rushed towards the back of the mountain with firm steps. As expected, when he returned to that place, the black figure had been waiting for a long time.

‘There you are.”

The man wearing a straw hat and black clothes actually had a strange smile in his dull tone.

“Why did you come?” Shen Yao lowered his eyes and said coldly, ‘You shouldn’t have appeared so suddenly and almost scared her.”

‘Your heart aches?” The man in black slowly walked closer, his gaze becoming colder. “A gentle woman is a hero’s tomb. Do you really want to indulge in love?

‘My choice has nothing to do with you.

Shen Yao said expressionlessly, “If you hadn’t secretly helped Sun He back then, how could I have become a cripple?”
