Chapter 779: Chapter 521: Hongzi And Silver (First Update)_1

That night.

Standing at a high place looking at the stars indeed seems more glamorous than looking up from one’s earthly existence; it’s like why many people in the city like to go to the outskirts or even mountains to stargaze.

It was around eight in the evening. At the courtyard in front of the house, she was propping up her chin and tilting her head, aimlessly gazing at the stars and the moon or merely daydreaming.

When I looked up at the sky from my home, it seemed much closer.

At that moment, Jing Chen came out from the house with a cup of milk and a small plate of snacks in his hand. He walked to Mu Lin’s side, placed the snacks on the stone table, and gave the milk to her.

Mu Lin accepted it.

He sat down behind Mu Lin, casually pulling her into his arms and letting her lean comfortably against him, tilting slightly.

"Why are you up so late tonight?" Usually, by this time, Mu Lin would have been fast asleep. It seemed like she had slept quite a lot during the day.

"I’m stargazing." Mu Lin replied with a smile, unabashedly lying in response to Jing Chen’s question.

Jing Chen chuckled and played along, "Did the lady observe anything?" He teased about how his wife suddenly had the ability to read the stars.

"I observed... that you would bring me milk." Mu Lin lifted her cup, then took a delicious sip. Laughter had lit up her eyes.

Jing Chen smiled helplessly, bent down, kissed the milk from her lips, and said, "It tastes good." It was unclear whether he was talking about the milk or Mu Lin. Mu Lin rolled her eyes at him and continued her ’stargazing’.

"Madam, do you like it here?" Jing Chen suddenly asked, holding onto Mu Lin. He did sense it after all.

"I like it here." Mu Lin responded, "It’s surrounded by mountains, and I can easily find what I want in them." This place was larger than the Black Forest, and they had more medicinal herbs that she had only seen in books.

Mu Lin enjoyed being here, and she planned to visit the labyrinthine forest once again before leaving this place. Although the Gong Family’s herbal medicine was more abundant than outside, there were some she wanted but couldn’t find. If she didn’t revisit it before leaving, it would be a pity. She was unsure when she would return next time.

"Also, my family is here." She felt, this place could also become her home.

"Hmm." Jing Chen softly responded; his chin rested on Mu Lin’s head. "In the future, when we have time, we can stay here for a while. I will accompany you to explore the entire labyrinthine forest." Jing Chen clearly knew Mu Lin’s wish.

"Deal." Mu Lin reached out her hand.

"Deal." Pinky swear, seal the deal.

After some time, Jing Chen held the sleeping Mu Lin and went back to the house. He kissed her forehead, cleaned himself and Mu Lin, then carefully hugged her and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next morning, after breakfast, it was around ten o’clock.

Mu Lin found that Gong Yu’s favorite thing to do now was to run to her courtyard every now and then. She visited more frequently than Mu Lin’s mother.

At this time, Mu Lin was indeed in the garden playing with Silver.

Ever since they arrived here, Silver had mostly been in deep sleep except when it was awakened by her during a visit to the labyrinthine forest. It was hard to wake Silver today. So, Mu Lin put it on the stone table to bask in the sun.

"Sister, sister... I found out something big!" The voice preceded the person. After some time, Mu Lin noticed Gong Yu and Quan Luo were walking towards her.

After all, these two were best friends and their relationship was real.

"Sister Mu Lin." Quan Luo smiled at Mu Lin. Even though Mu Lin was terrifying the previous night, Quan Luo was not afraid of her. No matter what, she believed Mu Lin would not hurt her, and Mu Lin was a good person.

Perhaps Quan Luo was the first one who still saw Mu Lin as a good person after witnessing such a gory scene.

Mu Lin nodded at her, then turned to Gong Yu, "What happened now?" She was curious about what had happened, provided it didn’t concern her family.

"Sister, let me tell you ... Oh my god! Why is there a snake here!" Gong Yu, who was standing in front of Mu Lin about to continue, suddenly saw Silver lying on the stone table. She was instantly scared and jumped, perfecting her jumping force.
