After a brief pause, An Yiqing asked, "Why did you come to the Imperial City alone? Aren't you afraid something might happen on the way?"
Gong Le sat cheerfully next to the couch, holding An Yiqing's hand. "I disguised myself as a boy to come here, nothing happened on the way."
An Yiqing was used to Gong Le clinging to him since they were little, always holding his hand, so he didn't find it unusual at all for Gong Le to be holding his hand. He simply said, "Answer my first question."
Gong Le then replied, "Didn't Sister Qingqing just have a baby? My parents were planning to take me to see her and attend the baby's full month banquet. But halfway there, I heard you were already back in the Imperial City, so I sneaked off the carriage to find Big Brother Qing. Don't worry, I left my parents a note, they know I've come here to see you."
"Luckily you're alright." An Yiqing gently flicked Gong Le's forehead, "Otherwise, your parents would surely skin me."
