"Well, I guess you haven't come to the big market for so many years. We just happened to buy some needed items first." Li Yunfei said.

So, Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei strolled leisurely in the market, which was bustling with people.

Zhao Zhizhi wore a light green dress, fresh and refined, and stood out among the crowd like a blooming flower.

Her smile is bright and moving, as warm as the sun.

Li Yunfei was wearing black clothes and was taciturn. His eyes scanned the surrounding crowd warily, always paying attention to the hidden dangers.

They passed one stall after another, and the vendors enthusiastically sold their products to them.

Zhao Zhizhi was full of curiosity about these gadgets and stopped to appreciate them carefully from time to time.

Whenever she stops in front of a stall, the vendors will smile with joy, as if they have met a close friend.

"This hairpin is so beautiful, what do you think?" Zhao Zhizhi picked up an exquisite hairpin and asked Li Yunfei with a smile.

Li Yunfei glanced at the hairpin and nodded, "It suits you very well."

Zhao Zhizhi happily put the hairpin in his head and continued to visit the next stall.

They walked around for a while, and Zhao Zhizhi was suddenly attracted by a little girl selling flowers.

The little girl's flower basket was filled with colorful flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers was astonishing.

Zhao Zhizhi knelt down and asked gently: "These flowers are so beautiful. Can you tell me their names?"

The little girl introduced the names of the flowers one by one, and Zhao Zhizhi listened with great interest.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came over and promoted her embroidery to Zhao Zhizhi.

She took out a silk scarf embroidered with exquisite patterns and said, "Miss, look at the embroidery on this scarf. It's so ingenious."

Zhao Zhizhi took the scarf, looked at it carefully for a while, and then handed it to Li Yunfei, "What do you think?"

Li Yunfei glanced at the scarf lightly and said, "If you like it, buy it."

Zhao Zhizhi bought the silk scarf with a smile and continued to wander in the market.

Whenever she stops at a stall, the vendors look at her expectantly. Her beauty and kindness endeared her to everyone.

In a corner of the market, a busker was performing magic. His skillful technique attracted bursts of applause from the onlookers.

Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei were also attracted. "That's amazing!" Zhao Zhizhi exclaimed.

After the magician finished his performance, he bowed to the audience.

Zhao Zhizhi stepped forward and handed him some copper coins, "Thank you for your performance." The magician took the coins and showed a grateful smile.

It was getting late, and the lights in the market gradually turned on. After buying some necessities, Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei were ready to leave the market.

They were walking on the way to the ninth floor, talking and laughing.

As night falls, the lights on the market reflect their figures, leaving a beautiful landscape.

Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei came to an antique restaurant and planned to stay here for one night.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with red-painted pillars and simple window lattice.

"Boy, is there still a room?" Zhao Zhizhi asked.

The waiter hurriedly ran over, nodded and bowed and said: "Yes, yes, sir, please come upstairs."

The waiter arranged a room for each of them. The exquisite small room was decorated in an antique style and the bed was soft and comfortable.

Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei were both a little tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

As night falls, the moonlight shines silvery white through the windows on the floor. Suddenly, a slight noise broke the silence.

Zhao Zhizhi woke up immediately and found a black figure breaking into the room.

Her heart tightened, and without hesitation, she immediately jumped out of the window and landed on the roof of Li Yunfei's room next door.

"Yunfei, wake up!" Zhao Zhizhi patted Li Yunfei's window eagerly.

Li Yunfei suddenly woke up. When he heard Zhao Zhizhi's voice, he immediately stuck his head out of the window: "What's wrong?"

"Someone broke in, go and find out if there is a secret door or something." Zhao Zhizhi said anxiously.

Li Yunfei suddenly woke up and quickly put on his clothes. Li Yunfei looked around the room and found a seemingly ordinary wooden door.

He tried pushing the door and found that it was not locked. The two of them walked in quietly.

The two of them carefully walked out of the room and into the corridor.

Zhao Zhizhi said nervously: "Those people seem to be here for the banknote we gave them today. We have to run quickly."

Li Yunfei nodded, took Zhao Zhizhi's hand and ran downstairs. They crossed the corridor and ran to the stairs.

However, those people had already caught up and blocked their way.

Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei had to stop and looked at those people nervously.

A leading man came out. He looked at them coldly and said, "You got a large sum of money from us today. Do you want to run away without giving us some now?"

Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei looked at each other, knowing that these people were difficult to deal with.

Her heart was beating as fast as a drum and her breathing was rapid.

Li Yunfei felt her nervousness, and he gently patted her shoulder to signal her not to be afraid.

At this time, the leader suddenly rushed over and grabbed Zhao Zhizhi's arm.

Zhao Zhizhi screamed in horror, and Li Yunfei immediately rushed over and punched the man in the face.

Others also gathered around, and Li Yunfei had no choice but to let go of Zhao Zhizhi's hand and start fighting with them.

Zhao Zhizhi took the opportunity to escape. She ran outside the restaurant and hid in a small alley.

She ran down the alley for a while and then stopped.

She gasped, wondering what to do next. Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her.

She looked back and found that Li Yunfei was fighting with those people. Zhao Zhizhi's heart tightened, and she immediately rushed over to help Li Yunfei beat those people.

But there were too many of them, and they gradually gained the upper hand.

Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei had no choice but to continue running away, passing through alleys one after another.

Fleeed to a deserted street. There are no lights here, only moonlight shining on the ground.

It was discovered that this was a secret passage leading to the backyard of the restaurant. They trotted along the secret passage and came to a remote courtyard.

Zhao Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Yunfei: "It seems we have to find a chance to leave here."

Li Yunfei nodded in agreement: "There's something wrong with this place, we have to be careful."

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, lifting the corners of their clothes. The moonlight shone on them through the thin clouds, and Zhao Zhizhi couldn't help but shudder.

Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei were so exhausted that they had no choice but to sit on the ground and rest.

She looked at Li Yunfei and said, "Brother Li, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you were put in such danger."
