It's late at night.

Chen Qiu stood alone by the lakeside of Luoyueqintai.

In the past, he should have practiced martial arts in the Jianyu Dream, but Chen Qiu was not sleepy tonight.

Qingqing was abducted, Song Beggar’s scolding, and the experience in the Hidden Tower.

Things that happened in Shen Qiu's mind these two days kept churning, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Tonight there is starlight and a bright moonlight. The halo of the crescent moon shines on the lake, as if a beating light is lit under the lake.

The wind blew over and blew on Shen Qiu's face, which was quite comfortable.

His mood is quite complicated.

It has been almost a year since this world came. Even in the most miserable time in the Taihang Mountains, Chen Qiu's mood was not as heavy as that.

In the past, he always maintained his own wisdom and insight, and looked at the world with a superior gaze.

But if you don’t respect anything, that thing will despise you.

Now the world in front of me waved a palm and slapped Chen Qiu hard.

The fact that Qingqing was abducted completely shattered Chen Qiu's inner pride, experience and insights in his previous life, was completely helpless in this matter.

He underestimated this world too much.

When he thought about it carefully, he said he wanted to walk around the world, but he had never even stepped in.

However, this is a good thing.

“Acknowledging that the problem exists is the first step to solving the problem.”

Chen Qiu murmured to himself.

Tell it to yourself.

"Chen Qiu, why don't you go to rest?"

A gentle voice sounded from Shen Qiu's side. He turned around and saw that on the wooden bridge above the small lake, the girl Yaoqin was standing there, with two maids behind her.

One person was carrying a lantern and the other was holding a guqin.

"I'm thinking about something."

Chen Qiu moved his shoulders and said to Yaoqin:

"I also have evil thoughts in my heart, so I went out for a walk. Why didn't Miss Yaoqin sleep? Staying up late is not good for my skin."

"No wonder Qingqing always says you like to say something strange."

The girl Yaoqin chuckled.

She waved the beauty fan in her hand, and the two maids walked a few steps quickly, leaving the conversation space for the lady and the young man Chen Qiu. After the maid left, Yaoqin also stretched out her body.

She lay on the railing, wearing a veil, and shaking the fan lightly, while saying:

"But you are worried about Qingqing?"

"Um."

Chen Qiu nodded without hiding it. He and Yaoqin kept a common secret. Although they were not close to each other because of their identities, they were trustworthy people.

"I heard from Uncle Song that you are inquiring about the news in Yinlou."

Yaoqin looked at the lake and reflected on the moon, and she whispered:

"That group of Five Elements Sect members wanted to offer Qingqing and those innocent women to the Demon Lord of the Demon Cult as filial piety, so they naturally would not abuse them, but instead should take good care of them.

So Qingqing girl not only won’t be in danger, but she might be eating and drinking nonsense. She is unwilling to admit defeat and is quite intelligent and will not let herself suffer.”

Chen Qiu knew that Yaoqin was comforting him. He was silent for a moment and said:

"But Qingqing must be very scared now. Just like her and I were in trouble, I was in a coma and asked the girl to find a shelter for me on a rainy night.

She walked in the rainy forest for more than half an hour before finding a cave and dragged me into it in the rain."

Chen Qiu lowered his head, took a deep breath and said:

"That girl has saved me twice!"

Yaoqin lay on the railing and listened patiently to Chen Qiu talking about his experience in Taihang Mountains with Qingqing.

Her intelligence naturally knew that Chen Qiu had concealed some things.

For example, the mysterious mountain ghost, but she didn't ask.

Everyone has their own secrets. It is very dangerous to rashly explore other people's secrets.

"I'll save her."

Chen Qiu looked at the lake, and he seemed to say to Yaoqin, and to himself:

"There will never happen like this again."

"Since you have made up your mind, you don't need to think about it anymore."

Yaoqin shook the fan in her hand gently, and the wind blew her veil, she said:

"Go to sleep, Chen Qiu."

"Why don't you talk for a while?"

Chen Qiu raised his head and looked at Yaoqin. He said the things in his heart, which made him much more relaxed. He joked:

"It's a pity to go to bed with beauty in this moonlight."

"You sloppy son."

Yaoqin also pretended to be angry. This girl who was usually generous and had her own temperament also acted like a child. She stamped her feet and said to Chen Qiu:

"Today you peek at my appearance, I haven't even bothered with you."

"It's me wrong."

Chen Qiu was dressed in a state of conscience and leaned over and said to Yaoqin:

"The young man knew he was wrong. But speaking of it, Miss Yaoqin, since I saw you, you have always been wearing a veil. Is this a Suzhou custom? Or is it another reason?"

Seeing Yaoqin silent, Chen Qiu felt that his problem was a bit erratic, so he said again:

"If it's inconvenient to say it, just pretend I haven't asked."

"Not really."

Yaoqin looked up at the sky and starry moon. She sighed, playing with the tassel beads under the beauty's fan, and said:

"It was just what my mother told me when she passed away. She said that my face was quite similar to her, and she was afraid that there would be no details in the future. Since I was young, I have been wearing a veil and painting a prison, so I will never leave the moon zither platform again."

"Is this how?"

Chen Qiu nodded.

The beauty of this Yaoqin girl is born in a beautiful country and has a graceful look. Since ancient times, her beauty has been in trouble, so it is understandable that she does not want to cause trouble for herself and this huge business shop.

He actually had another question in his mind. After a moment of silence, he asked again:

"I was in Taihang Mountains, and I heard Qingqing keep talking about you. From then on, I had questions. Girl Yaoqin, why don't everyone call your surname but just call it by his name? Shouldn't you be Su Yaoqin?"

"No."

Miss Yaoqin smiled, it seemed that this was not the first time she was asked such a question.

She said in a gentle tone:

"My name is Yaoqin. I don't want to be named my father, but it was decided by my father."

"He loved my mother all his life. After his mother died of illness, he changed my name to Yaoqin according to his mother's last wish, which is also my mother's nickname.

She... was born around her and was a foreign woman, and she didn't have a surname."

"I see."

Chen Qiuming was unaware of it, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"Uncle Su is really a person who uses deep affection."

"yes."

Yaoqin posed a fan, and Chen Qiu stopped asking questions.

It seems that the two have never had such a deep conversation.

"It's late at night, Miss Yaoqin, I'm going to rest, you can rest early."

Chen Qiu hugged Yaoqin and turned around and was about to leave.

"Chen Qiu, wait."

But after taking a few steps, Yaoqin was called again. The girl stood up straight, as if she was thinking. When Shen Qiu turned around, she saw Yaoqin looking at him with a scrutiny look.

"Actually, when Uncle Lu brought Qingqing back, he also brought back something."

Yaoqin was silent for a long time and said:
