Ji Tingyang stayed late at work, only driving home when night fell.
Aunt Zhang had long finished preparing dinner and started eating.
At the dining table was only Ji Yuqiao.
Ji Tingyang glanced over and asked in confusion, "Why is it just you here? Where's mother?"
Ji Yuqiao had a calm and composed look, "She ate dinner early and then went back to her room to sleep."
"Why is she sleeping so early?"
"Maybe she was too tired from playing today. She said no one should disturb her tonight and that she wanted to rest early."
Ji Tingyang nodded, without much suspicion, and sat down at the table to start his dinner.
...
Meanwhile, atop Rong Mountain, a clear moonlight shrouded the peak, serene and beautiful.
Several visitors had come to the mountaintop to watch the sunrise, and everyone had pitched their tents on the nearby flat ground.
Lin Xu and the others came up late and could only set up their tents in the dark.
