Mu Xingfeng didn't stay long in Nan'an. He left for the Imperial City two days later, as there were other comrades returning together. An Ran didn't go to see him off. Before heading out, Mu Xingfeng repeatedly reminded her not to leave school unless necessary, and wherever she goes, she must bring Fang Hui and Zhang Liang.
An Ran was already used to Mu Xingfeng's caution towards her. Even though she felt there wouldn't be any danger in broad daylight, to put Mu Xingfeng's mind at ease, she agreed to his requests one by one. Of course, she would never act in defiance secretly.
Hearing An Ran mention she would return to the Imperial City by Christmas, Mu Xingfeng felt a heavy breath of relief. Calculating the time, it was just over a week until Christmas. Once she arrived in the Imperial City and by his side, there would no longer be the feeling of seeing but not catching.
This feeling truly left him at a loss, especially with the presence of that mysterious person.
