"What wish do you want to make?" Bai Xianyu looked at him, his vision a little blurry, like a thin mist covering the leaves in the early morning.

Xie Xingyun raised his eyelids casually: "The Chinese Valentine's Day prayer lantern is naturally a wish related to me."

"Oh." The girl responded without looking at him and closed her eyes.

After waiting for a while, she opened her eyes and whispered softly: "Okay."

Xie Xingyun smiled and asked, "What are you promising?"

"Wouldn't it work if you just said it?" Bai Xianyu yawned, his eyelashes slightly moist, "Maybe you can, after we have agreed to go back home, I'm so sleepy."

"good."

Seeing that she was sleepy, Xie Xingyun didn't talk nonsense. He closed his eyes and made a wish with a smile on his lips.

Bai Xianyu put his palm-sized face on his knees, his eyes fell on Xie Xingyun, and seemed to look through his body into the distance.

"alright."

"Okay." Bai Xianyu stood up after hearing this, but was grabbed. The unignorable scorching temperature at his wrist seemed to heat up the air around him, and it also burned all the way to the bottom of his heart.

Bai Xianyu was silent for a while, then tilted her body and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Xie Xingyun took her wrist and stood up, with a cold tone, "Don't you ask me what wish I made?"

"It won't work if you say it."

"If you believe it, there is it. If you don't believe it, there is nothing. If you want to know, I can tell you now." Xie Xingyun took a step forward and pressed his slightly cool lips to her forehead. His hot breath seemed to be there as he spoke.

Brushing her hair.

Bai Xianyu raised her eyes and looked into his eyes, suddenly froze, as if she had been burned, and suddenly distanced herself from him.

My heart seemed to have skipped a beat, and unknown emotions were fermenting.

Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows, looking slightly dissatisfied at the few steps between the two, "Huh?"

The moon parted the clouds and mist, and silver frost fell all over the ground.

The cicada screamed tirelessly, as if calling for something, and also seemed to be waiting for a belated response.

Bai Xianyu closed his eyelids and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I don't want to know."

Xie Xingyun didn't hear clearly. He walked to her side with a frown, held her shoulders and pulled her over, bowed up and said, "What are you talking about, speak louder."

Bai Xianyu raised his head and his voice returned to normal, "Don't say it."

A laugh escaped from Xie Xingyun's throat, gently and lightly, with a bit of joking, "You are so domineering, why don't you let others talk?"

"right."

Xie Xingyun was amused by her, put his hand on his lips and laughed, "Okay, since you are so afraid of being ineffective, then don't say anything."

Bai Xianyu did not explain, but changed the subject and said: "Then let's put on the lights."

"Um."

Two bright Kongming lanterns rose from the top of Feihe Pavilion, seemingly brighter than ordinary lights.

The candle in the center of the lamp stretched and jumped, as if it were alive. The faint smoke from the burning left a fog-colored trace and slowly slid up the sky.

After putting on the lights, Bai Xianyu was completely out of energy. It was already late at night and it would be dawn in a few hours.

Xie Xingyun put a cloak on her and carried her back the same way.

The lights in the boat have been extinguished long ago, and the scattered lights of the hunters and farmers' houses have also been extinguished.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Xingyun returned to the eldest princess's mansion with the sleeping Bai Xianyu in his arms.

The lights of the princess's mansion stayed on all night.

Just as Xie Xingyun was about to step in, he felt the person in his arms leaning against his chest, and his soft ears unconsciously pressed against his heart.

He raised his fingers and gently swiped her face. The girl's skin was as smooth as snow and crystal clear, and her sleeping appearance was even more adorable.

When he retracted his finger, he saw Bai Xianyu's lips moving slightly. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly shed a tear.

Xie Xingyun caught it with his fingers and wiped it gently, his eyes rising and falling.

Bai Xianyu moved her lips again, this time her voice was louder. She called him intermittently in a whispering tone, "Thank you... Xingyun."

Xie Xingyun was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he hummed happily.

I don't know if Bai Xianyu heard it, but he seemed to have received a response and stopped talking.

She fell into a deep sleep with the unspoken words behind her.

【...Why, lie to me.】

Xie Xingyun speeded up and took her into the house, while Bai Xianyu silently shed a tear at the end of his raised eyes.

…

The next morning.

The sun shines through the window lattice and slants across the entire room, making the room warm with its residual heat.

Bai Xianyu fell asleep until midnight. When he woke up, he was still a little dizzy. He sat on the couch for a while and then called Lu Zhu to come in.

Luzhu came in with a copper basin and said with a smile: "Miss, the young marquis is here and is waiting for you outside."

Bai Xianyu paused to put on her shoes. What happened last night was still vivid in her mind. Maybe the atmosphere was so good that she was a little shaken.

"Miss?" Luzhu called twice more, "Miss, did you hear me?"

Bai Xianyu nodded, his eyes becoming firm again, "I understand."

After washing up, Bai Xianyu saw Xie Xingyun sitting in the pavilion surrounded by wisteria flowers. He was half leaning and half lying facing her, with his hands behind his head.

"Why didn't you go to the morning court?" Bai Xianyu approached, holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand.

Xie Xingyun raised his head slowly and said in a steady voice, "I'm going to have a rest today. I'll take you somewhere."

Bai Xianyu rolled his eyes, "Where are you going?"

"Just follow me and you'll find out." Xie Xingyun rubbed her hair and said with a smile, "It's one of two gifts."

Bai Xianyu's curiosity was aroused, "Okay, let's go now."

The two of them rode horses to a place about twenty miles away from the eldest princess's mansion. This area was surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the air was very fresh.

"Aren't we here yet?" Bai Xianyu had already guessed what it was.

If nothing else, it should be a house.

Xie Xingyun glanced at her from afar and motioned for her to look ahead.

Bai Xianyu squinted his eyes slightly and saw a magnificent building through the layers of mountain fog.

She was stunned for a while and exclaimed, "This?"

The building in front of us covers an area of ​​an unknown number of acres, and it is endless as far as the eye can see. It is not stingy compared to the Princess's Mansion. You can imagine how much manpower and financial resources were spent on its construction.

"Yes." Xie Xingyun said: "This was originally my grandfather's real estate. After he went to Nanzhao, he gave it to me. I have made some changes in these days. You should like it."

Bai Xianyu did not comment, Xie Xingyun got off the horse and handed the horse to Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng led his horse, while Xie Xingyun led Bai Xianyu's horse forward.

Arriving in front of the house, Bai Xianyu looked at the open door and the splendid decoration inside, and then at the blank plaque at the door, "Why doesn't this have a name?"

"Waiting for you to get up." Xie Xingyun said with a smile, "This book is for you."

He held Bai Xianyu's waist and carried her off the horse.

Bai Xianyu stood firm, looking at the plaque with dim eyes.

"What's wrong?"
