In the middle of the night, Jiang Cai'Er snuck out.
She had always been a goody-two-shoes, but now she often did things that were a bit out of line, which she found quite thrilling.
She arrived downstairs at Li Xiang's house. With agile grace, she lightly vaulted up to the second floor and then slipped into his bedroom.
Li Xiang was already waiting for her.
The two of them were careful not to cross a certain line in their relationship. However, they did everything they could short of crossing it.
While they both felt a slight twinge of guilt, the thrill was far greater.
"I'll take you to the provincial capital tomorrow night," Li Xiang said.
"Okay. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll tell my family I'm going to the county library the day after tomorrow."
A little after four in the morning, Jiang Cai'Er slipped out again and returned home.
As Extraordinary Beings, they didn't really need much sleep at night.
